may i refresh your memory......think back with me, think back to when you were a LOTR nut........Didn't the dead help the livinG??? Lol

I never really was in to LOTR (I only saw one of the movies).

then let me fill you in.....

Aragorn, the Heir King of Gondor (Minas Tirith), travelles with Legolas Greenleaf (Elf, Orlando Bloom) and Gimli Elf-Friend to the Dwimmordale (sp.) and they met the Dead King. Aragorn enlists the Oathbreakers, men from the days of Aragorn's ancestors that broke their oath to serve Aragorn's ancestors....the Oathbreakers were made into ghosts, but this isn't where stuff like this should go, back to planning!

Mannimarco is going to fight the pair and throw the fight....
Patholos is still mad as a hatter....
Commander Astratus is marching and Is a day and a half away from the Imperial City.

And now it looks like the Sil's army is going to start getting harrassed by a combo of Flint's arrows and a possible forest fire. Yippe!

perhaps ill wait for danny to get on... but maybe the sadril party should just 'jump' to soluthis to avoid roleplaying the journey?

mallet, would you mind placing amrita there or would you prefer somewhere else? you mentioned mournhold... but that is a tad far if we were to stay realistic.

and btw, where is the group with flogir located exactly? is it wooded or mountainous or what?

Well currently I think Flogir's group is basically around the Cheydinhal area, which is Northeast of the Imperial city. It's quite well wooded and there's the odd clifface as well if I remember correctly. It's gets mountainous after Cheydinhal, but the army isn't travelling that way.

And I can place Amrita in soluthis no problem.

I warn you now though, I'm not sure how much RPing I'll put in today because right now my modem is acting really bad because of the storm that knocked out the power a couple of days ago. It takes like 5 to 10 minutes just to refresh or like update to a new screen because the modem keeps dropping the connection.

Plus, The Ultimate Fighter is on tonight.

well dont worry bout it today. i was just wonderin.

i just realized, counting myself and channler there's eight of us active RPers

dantrag, minque, revan, metal, jack, priest, channler and myself... only one female too.. im not complaining or anything, but at times it seems theres more people... maybe cos of all the characters. i count about 20 active or so.

other times it feels like less cos of how slow it moves around here

And four of those characters would be mine. I think I went a little overboard with creating characters..... Anyway, I'm going to post for Tenek (My firend is having trouble posting on school days).

You know what, I am probably going to kill off Commander Astratus in the first battle, and someone from the Hero group will have to take control. And just a side comment, The Silhouette's Army is coming from the east? That's where the Army of Morrowind is coming from as well.....that might need to be fixed.....

Umm, Morrowind coming from the North-east and Silhouette from the South-east?

And what are we going to do. Torch the forest, or build a dam? Frankly, are we near a big enough river for that? And do we have time to build a big enough dam? Despite Green-Root's and Tenek's complaints, I'm still for the forest fire. Just lob in a fireball and voila. With a dam you first have to build it and then wait for the water to collect.

If I may, since we are on the subject of dams, achem, "Where is the damn dam tour guide?" National Lampoons

Anyways, if the Silhouette is coming from the south, and the Army of Morrowind is coming from the North, they should meet in the Imperial City for climatic purposes. And I think Sadril and the group should meet some recruiters over in Morrowind to show the stress of the troop needs. Whatever is fine,....

On the dam subject, I was suggesting that we destroy a "pre-existing" one (ie one we created) and then destroy it, which would result in a surplus of water where there wasn't a lot of water before.

If they're coming from the South East, there's a river that runs North to South from Cheydinhal that they'll have to cross. It's like a river that connects around the Bravil area. I couldn't give you a name for it though.

I'm hoping Tenek will show up and post himself, but I shall not hold my breath. It can be difficult to RP someone else's character when you don't properly know their persona. Ian isn't going anywhere until Dantrag posts again, likewise for Issac and the others trying to save Kirana..... unless Shogun posts as Soldin (Or Minque as Satyana)

Karn is also inert until the fight breaks out.

Ok, then I suppose we wait.

Back to the dam subject, because I'm still a bit confused. Mallet, when you say 'that we created' do you mean we'll add a dam into the rp-lore that has been around before the whole Silhouette thing began? We in this case is a bit fuzzy, you know. We could be us forumgoers or Flogir and co.

If added to the lore, then it might actually work. Such a dam will be a bit more sturdy than one made by Flogir and co, but destruction is no problem. (Really, it all depends on how far Altair and Voltar are willing to go.)

Yea, I meant that; we add it to the rp-lore. That it is all ready there and we just have to go destroy it.

Water damage is just as cool as fire I guess

And Tenek will like it because we're "restoring" things into their natural balance

Ah, ok. We'll restore the natural balance and any flooded tree is a sacrifice for the greater good. Now let's bust the dam! Wooh!


Ok, I'll post in the playground.

whoa, sorry for holding up the posts, had one of those mandatory employee meetings, tied up my free time..... also my girlfriend is on to me waking up and posting...

anyways, Mannimarco and the group, who will win, how will it come out?

sorry i was out for the weekend. had to go across state.

anyway. mannimarco will probably 'win'... save for the liberation of kirana or whatever you want to call it.

however i plan to kill soldin off in the fight with mannimarco. we'll see how that works out when the time comes.

its funny. isaac and satyana keep promising rann that soldin wont die. boy will he be hateful when it happens

For some reason I got that whole "noble death" cliche from the movies stuck in my head now. I can just picture Soldin jumping out in front of a fireball or something

its probable. i want his death to leave an impact

Mannimarco doesn't use that sort of magicka..... He uses the raw energy left over from the previous eras..... He learned to tap into it with the help of a sorcerer from beyond the veil..... The magicka he uses is darker and more uncontrollable, that is why sometimes a nexus of magicka is created. It's like oil and water.

To be perfectly honest, I don't understand what exactly Mannimarco is doing with the tattoos, so I'm gonna wait until i get more info before posting in the playground.

and just an FYI, Rann and Satyana's tattoos are completely different.

Mannimarco is using the tattoos as a distraction so that Rann and Satyana are distracted enough with the energy coursing through their body. Mannimarco wants them to feel powerful and confused about their "gift."

When and how is solding going to die? and do you want his body "desecrated by revival" or just have him die?
He could be resurrected and fight against his friends....

like i said. we'll play it by ear. if i see a good time i'll make a post that blatantly 'asks' for him to get killed.

or if i have an idea ill speak up. just go with the flow for now.

So, where should Ian show up? Somewhere east; perhaps meet up with the agents he sent over there? Near Morrowind? Would fit seeing as Cerpin might still want to kill Brainna or settle a score. Near the main group? The one facing Mannimarco? It would explain all the undead in the cave.

COme on, answer!

soldin will have a just death, and his body will not be violated, there will be no pain.

It is hard for someone to sacrifice themselves...

so, uh, how to end this fight?

maybe mannimarco can make the group think that they won, so they leave with Kirana?

it'd be a hell of a twist if rann turned around and killed kirana, thusly killing mannmarco.

i suppose we're not ready to end there lives just yet though

Fine with me if the King of Worms dies, he is trying to find out a way to counter their connection. I think the fight should end with a bridge. Maybe Rann and his party go accross the river that the others un-dammed and Mannimarco gets caught on the other side.

Mannimarco and Kirana share emotions through the link, so if Mannimarco undoes it somehow or Kirana manages to undo it, they will both know that they are not connected anymore.

If Rann knew about Kirana's choosing of Soldin he probably would have.

Still, Kirana knows decades more about magic than Rann does. So even if he did try, he might not have succeeded...... Actually, Kirana might let him kill her, she feels her own guilt and everyone else's grief.

PS: There's some twisted logic in there. Sacrifice someone you like to rescue someone else you like and then kill the person you were saving just because the person you sacrificed died and you want to kill the one who killed the sacrifice.......

Well, if nothing else, all this serves to isolate rann even more from the rest, making him even easier prey for Altair's guidance and ideas.

I think Flogir and Kirana (probably not her for much longer) are the only ones he's on good terms with.

Ewww....I do not want Soldin to die!!! Damn it! And I also wonder why not Rann can be on good terms with Satyana? What has she done, save loving him huh?

Thank the divines for Issac! Hrmmm


Edit: yeah yeah..so you killed Soldin? And Rannie thinks it´s Satyana´s fault? Now how could this thought enter his sweet head huh? He is really a weird young man, and doesn´t deserve the love of his sister....She will not at all be pleased with this happenings, and this could be an opportunity for her to use some real magic....if it hadn´t been for Kirana, she wouldn´t want to harm her!

Why don´t just kill off Satyana? Rann would probably like to do that....

Great to have you back, Minque.

If there was any confusion as to "psychological" pain that Kirana can feel here's a little rundown.

The emotions of anger, resentment, grief, and even simple discomfort apply.
Kirana can sense these things as well as physical pain. In a way this basically means she knows what everyone is feeling.

metal, if youd like you can have amrita leave the inn bump into sadril or something... we cant go too far without minque or danny but if youre up for a little convo or what not.

Sure, I'll see what I can whip up.

Rann has a temper on him, and holds a grudge like no other, but he'd never even think about killing Satyana.

But think about it from his perspective. He tried to convince Satyana and Issac to keep Satyana and Soldin out of the fight. Issac and Satyana got stubborn and insisted that everyone go. Satyana even promised that nobody would be hurt. Then when the fight happened, Soldin died, and Rann was right, though he would've rather been wrong.

He'll be mad for a while.

boy and died he did. no glory or anything, just magickal overload.

So, the "family reunion" has happened. Still, there's the question about WHERE IAN IS GOING TO SHOW UP!!!!

PS: According to Bree, Salina showed Amrita her mother to "show her how much of a wreck her mother was" so Amrita has seen Brianna before.

well minque needs to get a post in anyway. perhaps she can shed some more light.

Ok....I do understand Rann, or rather Satyana does, she will have some lousy conscience by now, blaming herself for Soldin´s death, I reckon. *sigh*

Now then, even if Amrita in fact has seen Bree, Bree hasn´t seen Amrita, but she has heard about her from Telina, so she know very well how she is. Now she will of course be totally shocked by the meeting of that wicked daughter of hers....I wonder....will she go insane or what? Anyway her reaction will be somewhat dramatical....

How many times has Brianna simply fainted? On another note, I'll just have Ian show up........ I can't come to conclusion, so can someone actually reply to my question?

to be honest, I didn't really understand the last few posts with Ian. Where was he? What was he doing? I thought the cave was in a dream?

Well the fact that Ian has Cerpin tagging along within him, running into Brianna and Rahvin might prove for some interesting RPing.

Cerpin didn't (and probably won't for some time) reveal who he is, and Ian didn't want to see his memories.

So he's out of luck.

she does seem to faint a lot....

on top of finding Ian.. we need to have some conclusive battles happenin. what happened with the flood?

I'm going to be on a fishing trip for the next few days, but I might still be able to post. Well, when Ian suddenly showed up in a cave of undead somewhere, I had Spiderman 3 on the mind (the scene just after Venom becomes the suit).

So, I have yet to decide where exactly this cave is, and would very much like for someone to tell me where he should be.

If he is still on Cyrodill, put him in Mannimarco's lair. After that spell Mannimarco cast, Ian might have felt drawn to the "deadness" (please excuse my termonology) of that area. If not, and he is in Vvardenfell, put him in some cave south of Ebonheart.

Ehhh...you may have noticed that this unconsciousness really didn´t last long so....I wouldn´t really call it a "faint".....

I guess I'll go with the former choice. Mannimarco's lair it is; so where exactly is that again?
