Title: Untar, the poet, has been murdered.
Post by: Under the moon on October 11, 2006, 02:59:08 am
Untar Demune, kind poet and helper to all, has been murdered. The incident took place directly in front of Kada's tavern, and in full view of the two guards stationed there. The poet was simply looking at the sky when the criminal known as Coneitic tried to steal his money, which he had none, then stabbed him with a knife. All of this was seen by witnesses, and the guards.

Untar was known as a kind soul, but not a hero. He never once raised a fist nor blade to anything in his long stay in this realm. He will be missed, as only heroes come back.

The guards are now on the lookout for the brutal murderer, and there is talk of a reward. You may place your own bounties on the criminal as well, if Untar was a known friend of yours.

[[As you know, I do not bring my characters back when they die non-glitch deaths. This happened as I was logging on after a crash. Coneitic was trying to play a criminal, so I say to oblige him. Crime AND punishment. Time to teach folks to play evil in the dark, not out in the daylight, eh? :)

And people, if you are going to try to play the criminal, please know that you can never go back to a lawfull citizen. People will not forget your crimes. To do so is bad roleplaying on both sides.]]

[Wasn't Untar already murdered, and came back as a ghost when Zorbels was sick? Or was that another poet?]

Question... Can people still mount resurrection efforts, a la Lolitra? I mean, I wouldn't unless I heard about him IC, but it would be nice to know if people could try that.

He 'died' once, but under special conditions that connected his soul to Nurahk, who -may- be the only one who could find him, and bring him back again, due to the connection.

He was not murdered before, which he was this time, and it may have damaged his kind soul beyond repair. He is an empath of sorts, an will not come back if he feels his murderer still in the world. Getting stuck with knives puts that kind of fear in normal folks, don't you think?

Actually, this interrupted the Cold RP, as Untar was one of the people who could have given you the next clue to follow, and was doing that as he was killed. This makes it harder on you. Sorry. You may thank Coneitic for making this much more challenging, when you may have considered it near impossible before. Have a nice day. :)

There is so much you do not know, that you do not suspect... Untar's death makes little difference, you would not have comprehended what is happening to you, either way.

True, they don't have a clue...but some of them are on the right track. Will they survive that track, though?

irc quote ".... but Untar never got to talk to *deleted name* about what he saw last weekend."

Speaking of which

Coneitic is so dead.

But first, to make Untar so alive.

So yeah.

Gotta go sow

Hum. OOC misunderstanding resulting in the crash of a story.. good job  >o)
Sometimes people should be :ban: for not checking twice and thrice whether there could be a OOC/IC mixing going on.

Solutions:
a) make it unhappen
b) continue the story and treat the OOC mistake as an IC mistake..
c) try to RP your way out somehow by not taking things too serious this time

Just my two cents   :sorcerer:

You could find someone else to give that clue or something.

Or kill his murderer and have Nurahk bring him back to give the clue.

Or go to the death realm, talk to him and leave him dead :D

Ahem. RP adapted... though I don't think Coneitic will like it. *evil grin*

As to the missunderstanding, there was none, as Untar was just turning around to tell the guards (Jefecra) that Coneitic had taken something from him that was not for taking. This RP continues, as I weave everything in my plots. It is not the end of the world....No wait, it is. You -could- go try to find him in the DR to talk....but ask Nurahk how that turns out. ;) He will not come back to liife while his killer is still in the 'living world'. *wink wink*

Funny you'd say that, UTM... Zhai got a note after talking to Kaerli and Grunn from the city guard about the murder of the bard. She didn't know him in life but this unexpected message makes her rather interested in going after the killer. Here it is:

[The note reads:]

Dear Zhai:

Fear you never see me in public, for it will be your last sight.

Sincerely,

Con

I did run into him later that night and well, he ran away but it seems he followed someone's loud advice, as someone screamed something like "Remember the plan"... A fellow ranger told me he was possitive it was Janeous' voice.

[just so we are all clear i robbed him and he didnt know and he couldnt stand it ooc so he kept complaining and saying guard watched me do it and they were coming to get me and he would tell everyone and mind you this is mostly in ooc he got mad not IC cuz in IC he wouldnt have known. so i challenged him to keep him quiet about what happend IC considering he had no idea IC and he accepted and i killed him]

just so we are all clear... the man started a plague to kill you all, and for killing him you are all mad? i see everyone is blind to the fact that one kill is dead wrong but unleashing a disease that kills hundreds, maybe thousands is ok and something to do..... you all may try to find me and murder me in the name of this mass murderer, but good luck i cannot be found...

Title: Re: Untar, the poet, has been murdered.
Post by: Under the moon on October 13, 2006, 12:19:33 am
*shakes his head at the fool*

Untar did not start the plague. He is just one of my characters. I play many.

Go talk to the two NPCs who were standing a stone's throw from where you robbed Untar, one of which was facing right at you. Ask them who they are. Untill then, you are still a fool and a criminal. As to the ooc, that was in brackets, and trying to explain what you were doing wrong, and that the guards would have seen it. And killing a man right in front of everyone just because he would report you to the guards is right? On what planet? You played the role of a theif, then a murderer. I am just playing along with that, as are all the people after you.

So hide, little menki, hide.

Expecting no consequences from your IC actions is bad RP. If your character is reckless enough as to commit a crime right in front of the guards you have something coming. And that has nothing to do with OOC. Your character is a fugitive at the moment. I hope you stick with it, otherwise next time you try to RP that you mug or rob anyone, they will just ignore you and walk right through you.

There are more than enough guilds out there who claim to protect the citizens of Yliakum, call upon them, if they truly believe in their cause they will help.

Post by: Coneitic on October 14, 2006, 02:14:53 am
alright, heres the deal, if you all think im guilty come get me, try to find me. it will not be easy, i stand by that i am innocent but if i am hunted like this than you all can try to seach me out. It may bring resolution it may bring nothing, but if you think you have the skills come forth
[if i am killed i will retire my character and that will be the end of me and the rebirth of thi so called friend untar]
it is funny that someone with a clue to stopping the plague would keep it secret and not spread the word as quickly as he could, but no matter... catch me if you can

Post by: Under the moon on October 14, 2006, 02:36:32 am
Actually, he was about to tell Jeferca about something he saw last weekend when he ran into you. His head is in the clouds most of the time (as most poets are), so he had not even thought of it until then. I don't ask that you retire your character, just stick to what you have played. As a criminal, you would stick to the shadows and be wary of the guards. Your face is known, so you could not go in public places. I know this...because the character who -is- behind all this is a wanted man as well, and I play him exactly that way.

Other options are to have a GM change the name and play as a new character -OR- (this is the hard one) play that your character has been sent to prison for a while (two weeks absence would be fine) then come back as a 'reformed' man. Not that it would have to be true, you just have to convince others that you are.

I only ask people to follow through with the roles that they start. I would recommend the reformed role, as that would be the most challenging and fun.

I am not worried about you untar, i have not even seen a price on my head

Coneitic, i dont get you, you spend most of your time IC insulting then running away. Hell I killed you myself come to think of it. And the character is still here. Seems like you have issues with staying IC. just because you stand no point in a duel, doesn't mean you shouldn't. If you don't wanna get in a fight don't insult people. pretty simple.

I didn't read most of the other posts, but how is he not being IC? The Death Realm exists, and Con-whats his name got out of it, but Untar didn't have a strong body and thus couldn't get out by himself.

(If anyone read what I had here before, sorry about that. I was testing different sizes and just clicked the post on the top of the most recently posted in list)

So long as everyone is clear, this is what Elemental light will do.

We will join into this hunt only if Coneitic and Underthemoon both accept this RP, as they have shown they have.

And just so i understand it right, our goal right now is to find him and kill him.

AS for elemental light, we cannot kill anyone innocent, so we need this situation sorted out.

Is Coneitic guilty or not, because if his guilt is called into question, Elemental light will not participate untill a trial is held.

We are not bounty hunters and we don't kill people who are presumed innocent.

Till such time his guilt can be confirmed in this thread, Elemental light will remain nuetral.

[first of all rayven you didnt kill me... unless you are frak... second of all i do like to drink and when i get drunk i talk smack.... but at least i keep up with role playing. ask any elemental light that has run into me i talk a mean role play its not like i just run]
As for a trial... there is no witnesses.... some say the guards but i believe there statement to be worthy seeing as how they always sent people into the tavern to buy them drinks... the only way to see his murderer is on the circle with his memories.. remember 1 is of his murder and the other is of a clue to this plague... and it will be very hard to get both coins from me.

Datruth, the help of Elemental Light would be greatly appreciated.  Besides, I think one of your members may be infected already, but I am not sure.  You don't neccessarily have to kill Coneitic either.  You might try negotiating for the items that he has.  Something tells me they are important.  :)

The only thing we regret is we cannot kill coneitic, but anything else is fine.

We look forward to working with you Einnol  :D
