TDL, I liked your post, but you might be saying 'the dwarf' a bit too much. Try using 'he' or 'Hathar' a bit more to break it up a bit.

But other than that, it was interesting.

Sorry I've been busy the past few days. But it's around morning now, so let's get this thread going again.

Edit: I got an idea that maybe something cool could happen on the way to the keep. Like maybe our party has to fight. Or maybe we come across some people who are fighting. This would allow someone like 2Xtreme to enter the thread. Maybe Shadowcaster's character could send out some monsters to attack us. Anything could happen.

I think we should consider throwing out some ideas on what might happen along the way.

That could be a good idea. Anyone who wants to join could be in a fight against these monsters, who mistook them for us, and we might save them, allowing them to come with us.

Richard could recognize the monsters from the Keep, catching his eye.

Please don't auto my character without asking first Mvass. Even if all you have me say is a couple words. I always ask a person before I auto their character no matter how minor it might be.

Sorry all, but I'm going away tomorrow for about a week, and probably won't get near a computer, so I won't be able to post..


If it would be easier it's fine if my character is just said to be travelling along, reserved, not saying or doing much until I get back so that I won't fall behind or hold you back.
Put him in deep reflection for a week

Again, sorry, won't be able to post from tomorrow night which is a bit of a problem when a thread moves so fast.
EDIT:://


i've turned it into kind of a story. he's been possessed by some kind of demon/monster thing (you dont know what yet) so that he won't do anything until I get back, only just follow along with you guys. It doesn't turn him evil, don't worry.

I'll break out of it when I get back.

Well I thought someone might actually take initiative and say what the creatures are and what they do, but I'll just post something later today.

OOC: Shadow, why didn't you see Mvass?

Quote:
He looked with keen interest at the fire elemental that followed silently in the back of the group, watching each man closely for any sign of weakness that he could exploit. No one had paid him much heed, but the mage was bent on destroying each of the party for some unknown reason. This could prove useful later on, but there was always that chance the elemental would try to destroy Him as well. He would fail, most certainly, but these kinds of distractions had always spelled downfall for His kind in the end.

Mvass threw a fire bolt at one of the wolf-scorpions. It wailed, burned, and died. The other lunged at him, but Mvass kicked it in the face. It was surprised at this, and Mvass took advantage of it. He ran at the beast, grabbed it by the throat, said a few words, and set it on fire, quickly running back.
"I took care of my two, guys! Should I handle the rest, or can you manage?" Mvass said.



Okay I'd just like to say that the part in bold is not very realistic. You are not a god in this thread. Though even Shadowcaster's character is powerful, it is meant to be that way and he stays within his powers. If you tried to grab the wolf by your throat you would get yourself chewed up like hell. So let's just say your legs got bitten.

"Richard, let's stop for the night," Mvass said, "I want these wounds to heal before continuing."
"It's barely past noon," Richard said.
"Fine, fine, let's continue," Mvass replied.



I know you might have missed this earlier, but the setting is close to sunset...

Quote:
The journey was going quite smoothly. Spirits were high and Richard kept any uneasy silence at bay with stories of his adventures to the keep. Not a drop of rain had shown and there hadn't been any at all for close to a week. The ground was dry and perfect for travelling especially since they were trekking across grasslands, which could get extremely muddy and sloppy after a long storm.

The sun was set low in the sky off to their left as they came up to the crest of a small hill. At the bottom lay the edge of a wooded area. As they descended the hill, Richard noticed a strangely large amount of movement in the brush beneath the trees. Richard stopped short just a few steps down the hill.

"Does anyone see that movement in the brush just ahead?"


Okay just thought you might want to edit your post after seeing that.

Looks like this is coming along, nice addition Shadow i HCMed you about that.

I'm back now so I'll be able to post and hopefully kick some ass.

I like how it's coming along.

This is actually the thread that gave me the idea of elimination, because the RPers could get killed off one by one to leave one person to get the prize at Cauldrons, voted off once a week and then killed of in the story as a result.

I'm not saying we should do it in this thread, but in the Glade feedback I suggested it as a RP idea for another thread.

@Mvass can you please take out the "nothing" response, thanks. I'll answer.


EDIT:

@Shadowcaster: Nice post, the planeswalker part was what I was looking for, but just to clarify what did you mean by the realm of the shadows? Did you mean another plane, or an underworld of some sort?

And I also like whats going on between Ike and Richard. The sort of uneasy tension and games hidden behind smiles...

The third plane caused the adventurers to disappear, leaving only a shadow of their weak spirits. The plane of the supernatural, the immortal.

That one. I just used a fancypants name for it.

I feel like people are afraid to be take the initiative and be proactive in this thread. It's not hard to stir up some action without autoing characters. And if you have an idea that requires another person, just send out an HCM or talk with each other on MSN or something.

No complaints overall however. I just think that the thread is slowing down a bit when it could be doing a lot more.

Perhaps some people don't want to suddenly come forth with a plot twist at the same time someone else does or something that may conflict with a previous storyline?

Thats the whole point of this thread though. Be random. If someone has a plot the would like to pursue they will find a way around your twists.

The main thing I would concentrate as we did earlier is developing the relationship between characters. I think that those can lead to the most dynamic situations. Think about it. Think about any story that involves lovers. That changes the dynamics of the movie completely.

I think Gorman and I have fleshed out a good relationship of suspicion, distrust, and mind games between Ike and Richard. Most of it was accidental and it just sort of happened that way.

So if you think about it, what would your character do for all that time to pass the time? Would he sit by himself thinking or go talk to other characters?

There's a lot we can do in this thread for character interaction. So by taking the initiative, you don't have to completely change the plot of the entire thread, you can simply walk over to another character start a conversation and be kinda rude to him.

Alright I just wanted to say that we should hurry along our journey, so that we get to the Keep a bit sooner. I'm also gonna see if 2Xtreme still wants to join. But we shouldn't have trouble from the Guardian anymore until we get to the Keep.

The main thing though is we need to work on building character development and character relationships. The things we develop early in this thread will create new conflicts on their own later on. So concentrate on building character relationships.
