I don't think that's reasonable Jules. At this point, it seems like the storybook is escalating between the two of us. Overpowered characters are a bad thing and having 40 mages build something out of thin air?

If this continues to escalate, I'll ask Rasi to make a decision.

While we're at it, can we set up a central plot?

I know we all have interesting characters, but we're not really showing them off in the best way. Characters like ours need a situation so they can show themselves off, instead of showing off and then making a situation.

A few ideas I have for a central plot are these:

The group forms up and goes on a quest to get more help for the Elvish side. Beare could be tracking them or be trying to get his own support group, but a more interesting idea could be to have a traitor join the group; in a non-obvious way of course (maybe Jules would want this character?)

This drags our characters away from the battlefield and closer to a quest type story.

This is just my opinion still, we do need something to unify behind.

I agree. we have lots of little plots between all the different characters. Flin with Galina, Galina with Seyla, etc.
I'm assuming it's because we all only have one or two characters and can't god mode others, making it a bit limited.
So yes, I agree. We need something to bring the characters together.

Sounds good here. I was working on a sheet on Elain's stats. (She has a great fear of crowds and is terrible with army combat- a good assassin, in short, but a crappy soldier :lol: )

Is it okay if I add another characer? If not, then just delete this post.

Name: Dria

Age: unkown, but under two centruies.

Gender: Female

Race: drow

looks: basic drow appearence; white hair, ink-black skin, red eyes. She perfers to wear dark clothing and never comes out during the day.

Talents: Normal drow magic (fire balls, infared spectrum, darkness spells [unable to levitate, though. Only noble drow can levitate]). excellent with a sword. convincing liar.

Weaknesses: light, especially if it's sudden. The suns heat is unbearable to her. Gives in easily to flattery and bribes.

Extra information: like every drow, Dria carries a vehement loathing for all surface creatures, especially elves and humans. She'll work with humans for the right price and respect, but will kill an elf on sight.

background: family was killed because they fell out of favor of Lolth the Spider Queen, the drow goddess. Dria, for some miraculous reason, escaped with her life to exile on the surface. She'll do anything to regain Lolth's favor.

And, of course, being a drow, she is hated, so she keeps her face hidden behind a mask. All you can see are some red dots when she switches to the infared spectrum.

(Dria's an evil character. muahahaha!)

Ok, I would prefer not starting over. But I agree, that we need to form a group and it would help.

Ok, any ideas? If we start over how would you like to start it? If we dont start over how can we regroup? Griffin your idea would work if you want to bring it into reality.


And Elven Maiden, if we restart I would gladly welcome you. But if we dont it may be best that you dont join in the middle. It is harder to keep track of characters.

Perhaps the good fellows can be forced back and all take refuge in the same village where things begin to form. Whereas the evil people are beginning to get confident and big headed. They send a force without any proper support which is destroyed. A small group of bad guys hide out.

TheGood guys hear of a rumour of a cache of legendary weapons that will help them defeat the dashuben. so set out on this search. whereas the bad dudes see them, going and say Ah ha we shall follow them.

So wam bam. we ourselves a nice little story =]

P.S this is only a rough plot. by god do change it old boy/gal

Jule's idea is good, Well I like it anyway...
So, Rasi? It's your storybook. Do you like that idea?
If we start again, It will take a while for everyone to redevelop their individual characters, That's the only problem I can see with a re-start.
(I've noticed quite a few characters are getting quite complicated, which is great to read, not so much fun to re-write)
But all in all, it's Rasi's final decision. :D

I like Jules idea too, or something along those lines. I really don't want to start over. I don't like rewriting.
If you have to ask me why I write, you would never understand...
