Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I am actually trying to figure out what the hell actually happened....I am still lost as of now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flux Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Ah, ok. It was kind of a rushed post before I left earlier, so I may have been a bit unclear, but the gist of it is that he's invisible and behind the gnoll that's attacking Oarloff. He attempted an illusion of a scorpion on the gnoll that's attacking Dru, though that's pretty much pointless since Dru just blinded it. And he's now attacking the gnoll by Oarloff from behind with his sword. I can go back and edit things to be more clear if need be, sorry about that.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Na next time just don;t try to fit so many action in at one place. Remember, Spells take time to go off, so it is hard for one to move, cast something while moving, and then attack a guy in the span of like a few seconds. Basically if you are going to strike someone...don't also cast it is kinda insane to do so. ((basically in combat casting a spell of any sort kinda takes the place of your attack, think of it that way from now on.)) If you do like a lot of actions in a row I am going to get super confused XD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Also, yes firearms exist in this universe, however they are magic weapons and one has to be trained to use them without them exploding and killing you.....((Remember kids, hubris!!! oh and don;t use things you don't understand as if you do lol.)). The ones that can use Firearms are known as Gunslingers and while they are technically mages/sorcerers they really are neither. They only use magic to fuel their Firearms, ((or as I will sometimes call them Steam Casters. They use the power of steam to heat a plate that sends magically primed energy outwards. Both the magic primer and the steam are created by the user so you have to be trained in both. ((the magic primers are bullets basically, but bullets that can only be used by the one that created them. Every individuals Bullets are different as well, having different properties based on your soul and your latent magic. [they are more akin to sorcerers, but are trained differently.].)) You may ask....Hukuna, why isn't this awesome piece of your universe a character class? Well, because Gunslingers are rare as hell. Outside of the Shifting Sands they are all but unheard of, and many there have never even seen one. ((basically Xavier would know enough to identify it, since Cinder Knights would have trained to recognize them. However, he wouldn't have trained to fight one, let alone a Victonari Gunslinger.))

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Do keep in mind, Oarloff isn't really trained XD. ((I mean the second Gnoll Leapt over him, which only happened due to his inexperience.)), so it isn't Oarloff's fault lol. I am sure the Dwarves taught Dru ways to defend himself other than Earth Magic. Also, you caught him off guard too. He didn't know you had any physical fighting skills, he just assumed your were a spellcaster and only a spellcaster ((due to garb etc...)) so you took him by surprise. ((the other Gnolls probably won't fall so easily for it since they have seen you do it now.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I don't know, Dru would have to connect to find out. And that isn't me being a bastard trying to get you killed. There is just some things I cannot tell you in interest of the story. Dru has no way to know the Grave Earth isn't there anymore, so I can't tell you as a player about it since it would affect Dru, your character's actions. That would be meta data Dru shouldn't have. He has no way to know, therefore his player should have no way to know for the most true experience. Basically, you guys are going to just have to try things more, I am not going to be giving many answers anymore. ((unless it is like lore related, or you don't understand how something works in a way where it adversely is affecting stuff.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 That goes for any of you guys by the way. I can;t reveal my hand too much anymore if I want the enemies to be challenging enough that they can beat you. Dru being weakened is something interesting that is happening. Does he continue to fight in this weaker stance? Or does he risk the Grave Earth still being there and harming his ability to fight? He might still be traumatized enough that he won't do it because of what happened earlier. ((I doubt it, he doesn't seem like that kind of man, but you never know.))

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 You mean the one in the Battle scene?

Zephyrus the Priestess Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yes the battle music <3 also what kind of trees are we dealing with, by the way? Like, the ones that barely have any thick branches that go reaaaaally high up, or trees like the ones in Naruto where they can leap off and onto? I imagine it must be a tall kind of tree though, because that Gnoll Helze THISISSPARTA'd out of the tree just went... crack on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 It is a heavily forested, so very thick trees. ((remember you couldn't really see him when you went up there as he was in the foliage. The others keep ducking in an out of the leaves as well. so big trees.... very big trees.))

Zephyrus the Priestess Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hm... could it be compared to a certain kind of tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 psssh, I would have to say Redwood. ((as in FREAKING HUGE XD.)) Basically you guys aren't very far up the trees, but still far up enough that it would kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 ... HOW ARE WE CLIMBING THESE THINGS?! O_O oh wait you mean that they're like Redwood in terms of structure and height, but they've got tons of branches okay gotcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yea, basically. This would also be a younger Redwood forest anyway lol. In the Forest of Knives the trees are literally ancient, so they go up for miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jory Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I figure obsidian, since it's volcanic glass, would have some form of reflective property. In a sphere that small the obsidian might, in theory, be able to have it rebound enough times to fizzle itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Where did you get obsidian from though? There isn't really anywhere volcanic around. ((like sure in Shifting Sands in certain places, but finding that much obsidian would be super tough anywhere else. At least that much that could be pulled together and used. not trying to be a downer here, but there needs to be some semblance of realism, XD.)) EDIT: and nevermind lol, you accounted for that. So I got to work with it. Sorry, I should read things before I post in reply here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
