Raindrop Valkyrie

Wait, I ahven't been able to check the thread in a bit, what happened XD?

Welp....now is the time to run. *whoosh*

I am going to say some of my reactions towards you will playing Surge were such because you were playing a character at the time lol. But yea I knew it was Strat all along. ((he pretty much told me cause I jokingly asked "So wait, am I a Commander now?" in a status he posted about starting it up lol)). Was an interesting time though as was pretty fun lol. So, good on ya fro keeping up the persona, you did a good job with it. I would probably never do something quite that crazy. Now.....explaining all those old posts as Surge.....well that is going to be interesting.

Don;t worry...like 4 of ya did.....needless to say The NPCs are all very confused.

I will be sure to give you a poke if we do need some help setting up what we wish to do. ((however, we got 4-5 minds working on it, I think we can work most of it out. It is the IC thread we mostly need to structure for the time. We are figuring out how that will work currently.))

Hukuna Shang is in the house. Time to whip you guys into shape and get this project rolling. And you lot who join up better be ready too. GET PUMPED!!!! ((and yes....yes I do have this lying around lol.))

a battle that is momentarily over......*facepalms*

Uh guys, they are all dead for now take a breather." Cookie said (( I mean I did say there was a break in the action, but dang it we are moving forward with your silly people that run up to your friends ready to fight thin air!!!)) "We don't have too much time if they decide to strike again." Blue said to the group. "They may back off noticing our new numbers, but expect them to be watching." "Once again sorry fer being a bother blokes." said a new gnoll they hadn't seen before to Cookie and the other Gnolls ((and Squirmy!!!)). It must have been Curfew. He looked a bit chubby for a solider, but they had to have him around for a reason.....right? "Don't apologize to us ya dunce, just get your sword ready and help us damn it." Squirmy yelled. "Brace thineselves." Montebanke said to the party. "We fight together now, thou must trust us or we all die. So those of you who didn't before, now thou must."

((pssst, Grammar can be a part of detail if you want me to make is so, just say the word and Hukuna will give you evil powers. But actually, remember though Notus, we stated we didn;t want to grammar nazi people, while it is important to writing, it isn;t the only important thing and I didn't want an emphasize on it unless someone was really having trouble. [with which we would try and help them improve if we could.])) Also Chim, I don;t take bribes, it is an insult to my honor, are you prepared to duel me to the death now? It is the only way to settle such an insult for a gentleman like me. *smiles wickedly.* I do think we have enough interest to begin work on it, so, we are probably going to try and make the system as robust as we can, figure out how everything works etc.

Except me, Cow hates me for some reason....at least I think he does XD.

Have you seen my grammar Exlink? It is so bad lol. Legibility will probably be something that is graded by the way. Cause if we can't figure out what is going on, your story will suffer. ((we aren't going to super crack down on that, but we will bring some up too help you improve.))

It took longer then normal to traverse the forested area even with guides who knew the area well in Dru and Helzebeth. It was a slow crawl trying to not draw any attention. It was hard considering branches, leaves and such were everywhere. Winter had passed and now it was spring. That was the good news. It meant less decaying and dry leaves on the ground, therefore, less noise. However, one still had to watch their step carefully. One tumble from unsure footing would make a crash some one was sure to hear. They traveled as close as they could to the road, knowing they would need it to point them to the Sorrow's Spring. They couldn't have missed, not because of what they saw, but because of what they heard. They heard fighting up ahead. Clanking of weapons hitting shields and the ring of swords clashing. It sounded as if a small party were battling, more than just Blue, the one who said he would be here. Upon getting closer to the Sorrow's Spring they could see the Illithid clashing with the mixed forces. He was using Water Magic mostly to protect himself and stop blows. But he wasn't the only one fighting. Other Gnolls were fighting the enemies. The Gnolls the party had met before, though they had a new one with them. Cookie landed side by side with Blue, they nodded. as Blue jetted the Gnoll forward using Water. Somehow the Gnoll carried that momentum through the air, and arrived at his target battering him into a tree breaking several of his bones with a resounding snap. The enemy Gnoll slumped to the ground in a heap, looking pathetic and broken as he lie there like a sack of wet potatoes. Skinner came up behind another Gnoll defending himself from Tiny's barrage of brute strength. He slit the poor bastard's throat from behind, snickering while he did it. Squirmy was ducking and diving along with Montebanke. The 2 danced between blows and cut at weak spots that opened in their sloppy recoveries. They had killed these few, but they were ragged and worse for wear. These Gnolls were no slouches and put up quite a fight from the looks of things. There was a break in the action for now, and they had yet to notice the hero's approach.

This is too help other members of the community sharpen and hone their skills. ((the tribunal are the people we deemed very strong in their areas.)). And we don't have it all sorted out yet Damiano, we are just checking if there is any interest at all, before we go into all out work mode. ((not much sense putting too much work into something you have no clue if anyone would even what to do it.))

We might use that as a challenge sometime, but no, The Tribunal is mostly there for Judging purposes only.

There is one right now, I wrote it as an actual status lol. That is why I said you have to find them. I won;t be posting them anywhere too permanent. It is just a fun thing for me to do every once in awhile when I am bored etc. And it gets you guys some lore tidbits if you have sharp eyes. ((no major spoilers will happen, so no worries.))

I also, I think I may post some in character status's from some of the NPCs every once and awhile in my profile on here. If you see them you will get a little more lore about the characters and a little more into their outlooks. Please, no posting them here though. If you don't see it too bad lol. Tell me though if you want me to leave the Character's name at the end of it or not though. I don;t know if you guys want to guess who the character is or not. ((the current one I included the name. Cookie is first.)) While it is up on my profile you can also go there to see the whole thing, even if it isn't in the status bar. I probably won't update it for awhile so you got time to pop in and see it. if it is no longer in the Status feed, just pop into my profile and click to comment on it there. ((they are pretty, or will be, so most likely you will have to click it to see the whole thing.)) I may also just post the whole thing into my about me, and possible include a theme for that character if I can find one I like. ((this won't be weekly, it will be when I feel like changing it lol. Any NPCs are game, including gods, avatars, party members, Death Angels, etc....It won't have plot spoilers, but more like slight backstory spoilers for those characters. Characters that have yet to be mentioned/haven't appeared are exempt and will not be posted until I reveal them, or if you meet them for the first time.))

In Graterras? A lot of things.

No one said anything about safe.

Considering Blue's presence disappeared form her mind, I would understand lol.

So.....I don't want to skip since you guys are in a forest full of bad guys, but I feel like it might just drag on with not a lot happening. So would it be a tension killer if I moved you guys up a bit closer to Sorrow's Spring? Like it doesn't feel right under the circumstances...but I don't want this to stall out either.

Nadia walked over to the door, still barely dressed, and opened it. She was done meditating, but she wasn't going to let Josh know that. "It better be important, I was in the middle of my morning's meditation." said leaning up against the doorframe. "Tell Caster I will be down once I am fully dressed, shouldn't take too long, unless you want something else." she said with a wicked smile. He probably wasn't there for that, nor would he probably get her intent in saying that. Josh was a bit of a dolt when it came to the romance or love parts of things. She kept hovering in the doorway until he left. ((which I imagine wasn't a big amount of time, I am just leaving this line here so Josh has a chance to react a bit. Up to you Rusty.))

Ah, good good. We don;t need this thread to get bloody. Graterras will fill this entire forums blood quotient for times to come. *whistles*

Hopefully Kyo doesn't see this and go berserk lol.
