Sorry if I'm taking really long to write the next chapter of this story, guys, but I'm in hardcore training right now for my new job as Ambulance Dispatcher. Rest assured, though, I am getting a few lines done here & there. But as you all know by now, I don't usually just Post a few lines. 
As for 2X's ideas, I already mentioned to him that deceiving my Lyon character is not possible...so that storyline would likely end with The Awkward One (thanks for the nickname Gorman  ) dying at the hands of one of the characters in the Fort of Order (Lyon, Artemus, or Somar).
As for the battling with Rinaldo, then battling with Deimos, then battling/allying with Dean that is just too much fighting for this story and just one character, 2X. You should seek to build everything to a climax by following a particular storyline.
For example, your character is currently "on the run". Well, work with that for a while before moving on to other storylines/battles. Then, you can either have it all unravel or continue building suspense & anticipation for your readers.
Another point that I would like to address, is that having one single character be the "saving grace" for everyone is a total cliché. We should try something on a grandeur scale than that, considering how many writers that we have collaborating on this story. To simply pinpoint one character as the SAVIOR would not only be selfish, but boring.
When the dust settles from the coming war/conflict, there should be heroes, martyrs, legends, and a variety of characters who contributed to the final outcome...not just one character that "sealed the deal". If it was a matter of one character "tipping the scales" towards a particular group, then great, that makes more sense and has more potential for interesting & original writing. 
Anyways, those are only my opinions of 2X's ideas, and in no way reflect my appreciation of his writing...which I consider to be good and have told him a few times, as well. I also appreciate him for presenting these ideas before us all, so that even if we do not follow them exactly, they might inspire us to channel our creativity towards even grandeur goals!

I understand that everyone is busy w/ RL, but I just wanted to say that I'm glad to see that everyone still is taking the time to check in and post when they have the time and that's why this thing is still going.
However there has been few posts lately and part of that is my fault as well. This is just to say good job so far and to keep trying.

Uh wow, I guess I missed more than I thought. I pretty much have it all figured out all except for two things. Could somone explain who and what Artimus is and also I need 2X to help clarify his kill the world/save the world death and resurection of himself, an elf, and Gorman ritual guest starring that Scottish dude from Riverdance.
It's kinda got my brain fried. Also, I'd like to talk to Dean about a few Royal Order things so I can get back into posting. Thanks.

Now is anyone gonna help answer my questions? I'd really like to make a decent post. I can't though until I have these things figured out.

Artemus is the new leader of the Order Fort. He used to be on the council of Supreme Magi.
2Xtreme possessed an elf, but elf still occupies the body and so he has to hear all of the elf's thoughts and feelings.
Rinaldo has a wife Severya who was pregnant. However 2Xtreme ripped the unborn fetus from her stomach.

The general point of my comment (found in my last post in the RP thread, for those who are unaware of its existence) was simply to tell people that short posts containing just dialogue that do not advance the plot at all should be avoided if at all possible. I think that if people are working toward a tangible goal, it will be easier to post. Please note that you don't -have- to wrap up two months in the next couple of posts, it's just a general suggestion that we speed things along so that the end of the two months is in sight.
If you've still got a lot left to write for those characters, although I do not know why you are concerned about the two months considering they really don't apply to you, don't be afraid to pop out a three-pager like my last post. If you do have a reason for wanting to be done within that time frame, then let me know (I'm curious anyway about what you are planning). Otherwise, all you really have to do within that period is meet up with Artemus and Lyon.

Ok, thanks for the clarification on Artimus. If Dean manages to come around I would like to know a few things about his destruction of the Royal Order. I know it's old news but I don't like unanswered questions and since this has so much to do with my character I felt it was semi-important. I mean I can still move on. I just have to decide a direction for Mighty Mage or figure out who he's going to bump into.
Shadow, I agree about the diolouge only posts. I've never been a real fan of them myself. As you may have noticed I'm not much for posting a whole lot of action either. I like to post through the characters eyes and into their thoughts. Explain the area and how they react. So far it seems to work.

Hey guys...first of all, sorry for the delay. I'm still busting my butt studying & doing homework for this new job, but I am alone in a hotel room this weekend and it looks like I will have plenty of time to take care of a few things that are hanging in the story.
I just finished my homework and am starving, so I will get back online later and will hopefully Post something good tonight.
I have been finding the time to read the recent Posts by RSF & Shadowcaster over the last couple of weeks, but that is pretty much it. I'll be changing that this weekend, though, for sure!

Hopefully...I'm not sure how surely sure he can surely be, but I'm sure that surely he'll reincarnate me at some time so I can be sure to get back into the thick of this surely wild adventure!

Not only am I going to post today but I think if I have some time I'm going to start working on a more detailed map for this game. Our combined demented minds have come up with way too many places and my own mind continues that trend today.

I erased my old post so I wouldn't be posting three times in a row. It looks tacky.
Anyhoo, since HC's IM function won't work for some reason (may just be with me) I wanted to post here to pose a question to Shadowcaster.
Shadow, my LHW character has reached the border to your war strewn lands. Since the path he's on leads toward the Chaos fort how about a little collab where we meet up. I started my post but want your input before I finish. Let me know.

I'd say go ahead and post what you have, and we can talk about it on Sunday or Monday. That's the next time I have to take a breath, to be honest.
Should be good, though.

I spoke with Shadowcaster yesterday online and the two of us decided that LHW was inactive because of two people. Asmodean and Leo have made it pretty much impossible for many people to continue with this thread. Shadowcaster was fortunate enough to write himself out of the main focus of the story, however I can't do anything with my story. I think that we need to write those two out of the story for a while.
I feel that this thread would be active if those two were active. So if anyone has any ideas on how to write them out, not permanently, just temporarily I guess, then by all means give your ideas.

I can have my character confront Asmo, and place him in some sort of prison or something, and my character takes the spot of #1 bad guy.
