[Hey Odessa, I hope you don't mind me posting this. I was quite amazed actually, I only saw this topic after our conversation, I really had no idea this was a worked out RP story  ]

New Hope:

Eliseth sees a woman sitting at the side of the path in the Death Realm, seeing the look of sadness on her face, she decides to approach her.

(17:34:43) Eliseth bows her head in greeting
(17:34:54) Odessa looks to the enkidukai with couriosity
(17:34:59) Eliseth sheaths her weapons "Don't need these right now"
(17:35:09) Eliseth says: Hello there
(17:35:19) Odessa smiles "Hello"
(17:35:40) Eliseth kneels to rest
(17:35:57) Odessa is sat on the side of the path.
(17:36:37) Eliseth says: Hmm... why are you so sad?
(17:36:52) Eliseth looks at Odessa quisically
(17:37:26) Odessa sighs "such a long story and yet I only remember parts of it recently".
(17:38:03) Eliseth looks puzzled "Would you like to share it with me?"
(17:38:40) Odessa looks at the Enkidukai with untrusting eyes.
(17:38:52) Odessa says: Who are you?
(17:39:16) Odessa says: Forgive me, but I have been decieved many times in the past.
(17:39:25) Eliseth smiles "Oh I'm so sorry, I'm Eliseth"
(17:39:46) Odessa nods. "And I am Odessa".
(17:40:30) Eliseth says: I'm pleased to meet you really, I hate seeing sadness on other people, I would like to help you if I can"
(17:41:20) Odessa laughs "Huh... many before you have said the same yet they never return".
(17:42:25) Eliseth looks saddened "Really? Well, although I am unable to give you proof, you can trust my word if you wish"
(17:43:11) Odessa says: Trust... *odessa repeats the word as though in memory*.
(17:43:51) Odessa says: Trust is something I have lost in others a great deal. I cannot remember why I feel this but...
(17:44:19) Odessa pauses
(17:44:46) Odessa says: What else do I have to loose....
(17:45:07) Odessa says: I have had has been taken from me..
(17:45:16) Odessa says: All I had*
(17:45:48) Eliseth blinks "By who... or what?"
(17:46:49) Odessa says: I can only tell you what I remember, and as I said that is little.
(17:47:10) Eliseth nods "Please, continue then"
(17:47:18) Odessa takes a deep breath.
(17:49:02) Odessa says: Long ago... or at least it feels that way... I traveled to hydlaa seeking to start a new life as im sure most do...
(17:50:14) Odessa tries to remember all from before...
(17:50:40) Eliseth listens intently
(17:51:07) Odessa says: She... found me... taunted me for days. I had to hide like a rat in the tavern unable to leave.
(17:51:21) Eliseth says: She?
(17:51:33) Odessa looks away in pain.
(17:51:40) Odessa says: My sister...
(17:52:12) Odessa says: who I once loved so dearly.
(17:52:12) Eliseth looks shocked
(17:52:50) Odessa says: I cannot remember why she did this though....
(17:53:06) Odessa says: my memory is so hazey now...
(17:53:23) Eliseth says: What did she do?
(17:53:36) Odessa looks back to Eliseth.
(17:54:18) Odessa says: She challenged me... a battle to the death...
(17:54:42) Odessa says: only, the night before i was to be... someone murdered her.
(17:55:13) Eliseth's eyes widen
(17:55:23) Odessa grits her teeth in pain and tears.
(17:55:36) Odessa says: I felt her around me after that...
(17:55:56) Eliseth says: Her spirit?
(17:56:06) Odessa nods
(17:56:29) Odessa says: For many nights I was plauged by nightmares of her...
(17:57:13) Odessa says: One day I awoke... and it was as my mind and body were at difference.
(17:58:01) Eliseth tilts her head "How do you mean?"
(17:58:36) Odessa says: At times I had little control over my body.
(17:58:50) Odessa says: I would say things... horrible things to friends...
(17:59:08) Odessa says: Yet I didnt know why.
(17:59:29) Eliseth says: Oh dear, do you think she possesed you?
(18:00:15) Odessa says: It must have been, for days I fought for control.
(18:00:37) Odessa says: But she was too strong!.
(18:01:11) Odessa sighs deeply "It was then I found myself here."
(18:01:31) Eliseth says: Why don't you return?
(18:01:36) Odessa wipes her face of tears.
(18:02:12) Odessa smiles weakly "In the past I have tried many times".
(18:02:38) Odessa says: But the portal would reject me.
(18:02:58) Eliseth looks surprised
(18:03:02) Eliseth says: But why?
(18:03:34) Odessa says: I wondered for an unknown lenght of time about here... tring to figure that out.
(18:03:56) Odessa says: It was then that two things happened.
(18:05:03) Odessa says: If I try to approach the the rooms ahead... I feel an intence fear which prevents me from passing...
(18:05:29) Odessa says: I cannot travel to parts of this realm which I once could.
(18:05:57) Eliseth is really puzzled
(18:06:36) Eliseth says: Is there anyway, I could help you overcome that fear?
(18:06:45) Odessa says: the other thing was, I was found by an old friend of your kind who told me all that went before.
(18:07:16) Odessa says: My body died in the living realm.
(18:07:26) Odessa says: This is why I cannot return.
(18:08:32) Eliseth nods "Can you think of any way I could help from the otherside?
(18:08:42) Eliseth says: Summoning perhaps?
(18:09:03) Odessa scratches her arm.
(18:10:38) Eliseth sighs
(18:10:49) Odessa says: I dont know what to do or how anyone can help. I have asked many before you to help me find one who might know.
(18:11:12) Odessa says: But as I said, they never return.
(18:11:23) Eliseth says: Hmmm...
(18:11:48) Odessa says: This is why I feel so lost and low.
(18:12:13) Odessa says: Very few atually stop to talk.
(18:12:17) Eliseth says: Well do you want to try the portal again, maybe with a friend with you, you can prevail
(18:13:05) Odessa shakes her head "I have tried this with another before and recently by my self... its impossible.
(18:13:36) Eliseth says: Hmmm... there is something I could try, but it would mean going back to the living
(18:14:12) Eliseth says: You see, my father was a great healer, he taught me things that normal mages, even the most wise didn't know
(18:14:52) Odessa says: Rilar is the only one I feel may know the answer to this.
(18:15:13) Eliseth says: Rilar? Who is he?
(18:15:27) Odessa says: Is is one of your race.
(18:15:30) Odessa says: He*
(18:16:03) Eliseth says: Well then I must find him, where can I locate him?
(18:17:13) Odessa says: I only know that long ago he resided in Hydlaa... I fear after our odd meeting here he has forgotten it. This place makes you forget the longer you stay.
(18:18:33) Eliseth says: I'll just have to refresh his memory
(18:18:41) Odessa looks worried.
(18:19:26) Eliseth says: Why the worried face? Don't you have faith in me?
(18:19:29) Odessa says: You must be careful though, I fear that others who have tried to help me have met a foul fate.
(18:20:39) Eliseth says: I will find him, and if I come into any trouble...
(18:20:51) Eliseth stretches her claws out
(18:21:02) Eliseth says: well they'll have something coming to them
(18:21:17) Eliseth smiles
(18:21:34) Odessa tries a smile "Your race has always appealed to me"
(18:22:19) Odessa says: "Your loyalty to your family is what gives you srength and the will
(18:22:32) Eliseth says: I will return my dear, that is a promise, and not just any promise...
(18:22:40) Eliseth cuts her hand on her blade
(18:22:47) Eliseth says: It's a blood promise
(18:22:56) Odessa winces in felt pain.
(18:23:59) Eliseth rises and stretches her legs
(18:24:31) Odessa says: I am gratful for your words but you will understand If I dont appear hopeful.
(18:25:15) Eliseth says: I understand very well, after all your disappointments, I'm surprised you even bothered talking to me
(18:25:36) Eliseth says: But the fact that you did tells me you have the slightest flicker of hope
(18:25:42) Odessa smiles "no my feline friend...it is you who spoke to me"
(18:25:58) Harer retains his cold emotionless face
(18:26:09) Harer says: greetings
(18:26:26) Odessa looks to Eliseth with worry.
(18:27:02) Odessa stands and edges away from the kran
(18:27:25) Eliseth looks at Odessa
(18:27:27) Eliseth says: What's the matter?
(18:27:43) Harer puts out a hand to shake
(18:28:21) Eliseth says: Odessa? Are you afraid of the Kran?
(18:28:48) Harer anger rises to face
(18:29:04) Harer says: afraid?
(18:29:11) Odessa turns her head towards eliseth and whisper "I feel uncomoftable in crowds".
(18:29:13) Eliseth says: Harer please, take no offence
(18:30:16) Harer stares deeply at odessa
(18:30:26) Odessa looks away.
(18:30:46) Harer says: you dont belong here
(18:31:26) Harer says: The death relm is my home
(18:31:31) Odessa nods "I know, but I dont have a choice in this matter".
(18:32:00) Harer says: Have you somthing against kran?
(18:32:06) Eliseth says: Harer, please leave her be, she has been through a lot.
(18:33:00) Odessa looks to Harer "If you seek battle I would reccomend the path ahead".
(18:33:07) Harer says: are you afraid of what you dont understand
(18:33:17) Harer says: i understand this
(18:34:06) Harer says: that as long as i hold the sword of enlightenment i shall undertsan all
(18:35:13) Eliseth says: Odessa is trapped my lord Harer, I am trying to help her leave, give her some time
(18:35:14) Odessa looks to Eliseth with a grin "I see somethings remain unchanged by the passing of time".
(18:36:29) Harer says: if it is a fight you seek odessa you must look elsewere for i have no need to fight
(18:36:47) Eliseth says: That's good to know
(18:37:03) Harer says: but
(18:37:07) Odessa sighs.
(18:37:14) Harer grins
(18:37:25) Harer says: for you i would make an exception  ------ [Harer just wondered off after that]
(18:38:05) Eliseth turns to Odessa "Do you know where in Hydlaa I'll be able to find Rilar? And what shall I tell him if I find him"
(18:39:48) Eliseth coughs
(18:39:56) Odessa shakes her head slowly "I see him standing on a balcony near many steps. A tavern within the background."
(18:40:15) Odessa says: But this was long ago...
(18:41:58) Eliseth says: I will go and find him. Here take this ring, it was my fathers gift to me before he died, it is linked to my being and as long as you hold it, you can always contact me
(18:42:32) Odessa takes the ring with wonder.
(18:42:48) Odessa looks to Eliseth "Are you sure?"
(18:43:19) Eliseth says: I am sure, you may give it back when I get you out of here
(18:43:36) Eliseth says: And I WILL get you out of here
(18:43:38) Odessa face livens with hope.
(18:44:01) Odessa says: I believe you.
(18:44:56) Eliseth smiles "Now I will leave you, may that ring bring you hope every time you look at it. If you need to contact me, concerntrate on the ring
(18:45:40) Eliseth pulls Odessa into a hug "It's about time someone showed you friendship"
(18:45:43) Odessa beams with hope at last.
(18:45:55) Odessa hugs deeply in return.
(18:46:35) Eliseth says: Farewell Odessa, I hope to see you on the other side sometime soon
(18:46:41) Odessa laughs through tears "Now look, youve got me crying again"

Eliseth once again finds herself in Yliakum. Going as fast as her Enkiudai legs would allow, she makes her way to Hydlaa.

I will return Odessa, I promise.

I'm sorry  I really didn't mean to sound offensive or anything, it was just my opinion.

1) Who made you in charge of other peoples ability to play a game as they want to play it?
2) They are not doing you any harm, so I see no reason why they can't go on thier merry way.
3) You may find it boring, but to some people that is fun.
4) Concentrate on yourself, and don't worry about what others do. You'll be happier that way.
5) As a general rule, use serach button.

Thanky.

1) I just don't think that is playing the game. But you're right, I have no right to tell people what to do in game, sorry.
2) You're right there again
3) I don't think many people find it fun as such, they just want to level as much as possible, but there again, you could be right.
4) I'm very happy actually, its not that I get upset over it or anything, it was just a suggestion to alllow people to have even MORE fun in game.
5) I did ^^

Where is the realism to being limited to attack an NPC only a certain amount of times?

We're going to try to prevent spawn camping in the near future by expanding on NPC behavior and getting rid of static spawn points. It'll be much more realistic - that way people will have to move around to catch their targets.

How do you know the person was killing the NPC for those 8 hours nonstop though? They could have taken a long break, and returned shortly before you did.

Well I'm glad something like that has been planned, I suppose I overlooked the fact that everything is going to change over the years of developement.

Oh and I asked him, he told me he had been there all that time.

Thanks for the quick responses guys!

Good news everyone. I've finally been able to get hold of Harachi, the wedding is scheduled for monday the 26th at 17:00 GMT. Obviously I'm not expecting the same turnout as Zorbels' wedding [Great wedding Zorbs ^^], but it would be nice to see some people there. I'll post an official IC invitation later.

[OOC] Hey everyone, people probably know me better IC that here, this happens to be my first post ^_^[/OOC]

[IC]

Eliseth walks around Hydlaa in search of suitable places to put up her notice. She finds several places that are well viewed and always busy. She pins her notices up in all these places. Giggling a little as she goes along, Eliseth finds herself unable to stop smiling.

Dear People of Yliakum

It is with great pleasure that I announce the engagement of Harachi Quitaa and myself. It would make me eternally happy you all came.

The marriage ceremony is to take place later today and the service will be done by Peacer. I would like everyone to meet at the Kada-El Tavern, there I will tell everyone where to go.

As an extra note, I would like to extend a special invitation to all the members of Ruby Reign and The Guardians of Power.

Best regards
Eliseth
