Noob shouts: Ooohh ! Hey, look! That person is being dragged away by demons! Lets go save her!
Xiosian says: No thanks. I think I'll go bake some pie. [I'de rather not encourage this kind of rp]
Noob looks around confused, "But but... We could be heroes? May be she will give us a reward or something?"
Xiosian says: Lets try something peaceful, like weaving baskets, or making beaded necklaces. We could have a tea party!
Noob says: What? Are you frickin nuts? This is the most exciting that has happened since I logged on!
Xiosian says: [please keep ooc comments inside square brackets like this]
ScreamingVictim looks at Noob tearfully as she's dragged away, kicking and screaming. Her head sinks as she begins to lose hope. A silk handkerchief falls from her pale, fragil hand.
Noob says: Pfft...You go make your puddle tea and mud pies, I'm gonna go slay them demons.
Huuzzzaaaahh!!

Game seems to have ground to a halt. Too tricky for you huh?
My original question was : Can you name the author?
The answer is, no you can't.
Okay I reckon I deserve a point for that...
and a new question... easier one this time:
The church of Laanx has many branches, but how many diats does it have? (explain your answer)

Using logic and common sense, scientists concluded that the nearer than twelve steps from the Crystal, the radiation dissociates matter, sometimes even generating random chain reactions that could be very dangerous.

« on: March 31, 2010, 04:38:55 am »"Last rites for Vikka Suunie"
Vikka has come down to the Arena to tighten up his game. Vikka's game is bare knuckle fighting. In such fights there are two styles of fight, one which is commonly understood to be a straight boxing match or "straightener" and the other an "all in" anything goes, and ofttimes fight to the death.
These last months Vikka's game has been a little off. His record for fighting a "straightener" has become something of a liability to his backers, a group of well financed Ojaveda hoods who you do not want to disappoint.
Quote
As she kicks his side he turns over and an errant arm flops unceremoniously to the floor, with only a lone triumphant finger giving any sign of rebellion.
Kaerli says, ”Greetings sir.”
Vikka wipes the clacker gut of his knuckles and he gives Kaerli a curt nod, ”'allo” he says as he turns to leave.
Kaerli says, “You look hurt...do you wish to be healed?” she then kneels down and places a hand on the dwarf's shoulder before he can answer.
Vikka stops and turns and looks Kaerli up and down, “Gel, gettin' 'it is all part of the game. Toughens ya-up."
Kaerli grins back, "You never know when someone could try to spring something on you, or a monster turns out to be tougher than anticipated. It's not a huge issue with these critters down here... but who knows what could be lured here?”
Vikka nods in agreement, "Yeah, lot of mugs out there tryin' ta make a rep off stickin' one on me. Gotta keep sharp at all times." he says rolling a shoulder.
Kaerli says, “Speaking of people who got one stuck on them...I hear that whoever was putting up the posters framing Garosan got jailed.”
Vikka looks at her for a moment as the wheels of his mind turn slowly round, "What that nonce Gary-san, someone woz framin' 'im?"
Kaerli says, “Aye, someone was framin' him, turns out this was Jacula's plot all along.”
Vikka's brows knit together, "Jac-u-lar, ay? Wot the ruddy 'eck would he wanna waste 'is time with a nonce like Gary-san for? ay?'" he says somewhat incredulously.
Kaerli says, “He tried to tar Elady's name as well. Apparently this was part of a larger plot to try to manipulate the Octarchy into doing his dirty work for him.”
Vikka spits at the mention of the Octarchy, "Buncha ruddy toffs. An as for that E-lady, well, she ain't no lady in my book, ruddy hussey" he says his face reddening in anger.
Kaerli says, ”He won't be doing any more of that, that's certain. By the way, who ordered the beating of Giroum?”
Vikka pauses for a moment and gives Kaerli a sly look, ”who?” he says.
Kaerli says, ”Aye, who...as that'd make your life easier for sure.”
Vikka sighs and looks about, ”Look luv, you look like a nice enough gel, whatcha wanna get y'self muddled up askin the wrong sorta people the wrong sorta questions, aye?”
Kaerli says, "Here's a hint: people who try that sort of stuff with me wind up getting a double dose of their own medicine, kay?”
Vikka looks horrified and he takes a step back looking her up and down. His face reddens and he is unable to speak for a moment, ” 'IT A WOMAN!” he explodes, ”I never done such a thing in all me life” and he stands before Kaerli his chest rising and falling rapidly.
Kaerli laughs, "Surprised, eh?" and tilts her head, grinning wolfishly.
Vikka attempts to regain control of his breathing, "Surprised?" he manages between breaths.
Kaerli says, “You sure look surprised.”
Vikka now a bit more calm, but none the less irate exclaims, ”I - don't 'it no woman! Got'it?” he says punctuating each word by jabbing the air in front of him with a pointed finger.
Kaerli says, “Do you want me to make you? Because, I have no qualms about doing that.”
Vikka looks at her like she is insane, “Are you.. you know? Are you at 'ome to the visitors or summink?" he says looking briefly at Kaerli's stomach.
Kaerli laughs loudly, "Sounds like you need some...enlightenment."
Vikka shakes his head, ”Whatcha wanna be boverin' me like 'is for, gel? wot 'av I done to you, ay?" he asks backing away from the crazed Ynwnn nervously.
Kaerli says, "You nearly sent an innocent old man to Dakkru, based on information provided by an imposter. Do I need any other reasons?”
Vikka shakes his head, “Ooos been telling you fibs? I never 'urt no one."
Kaerli laughs, "So you're saying someone else beat up Giroum eh?"
Vikka takes another step away from Kaerli, “Look 'ere you insane laughin' 'arpy, I dun know oos bin fillin' your 'ed with 'is rubbish, but it's a lie, you 'ere, a lie!" and he jabs the air in front of himself once more with his finger, as his face reddens.
Kaerli says, “Why don't you just tell me who ordered the beating of Giroum?”
Vikka takes a deep breath and stares at Kaerli wordlessly.
Kaerli says, “Was it Jacula?”
Vikka fold his arms and continues to stare.
Kaerli says, “This sure makes me wonder...”
Vikka shrugs
Vikka lets out and sigh and slowly turns and walks away shaking his head.
Kaerli surprises Vikka by casting Taste of Death on him as he walks away.
Vikka stumbles as the dark sickly smog descends upon his frame, he screams out in agony, "ahhh watcha doin' t'me ya ruddy 'arpy" he howls as he tries to get away on unsteady legs.
Kaerli hits him with Taste of Death again, then gets close behind him and drops Weakness and Flame Burst.
Vikka drops to his knees as the hellish connection with the death realm are visited on Vikka's frame. Then as she cast weakness he falls flat on his face, his head hitting the flagstones of the arena hard, his tongue lolling from his open mouth. Then finally her flame-burst causes his skin to blister and bubble, his sight being extinguished as his eyes burn black in their socket and he silently screams open mouthed.
Kaerli drops Stone Fist followed by Electro-touch, then goes to kick the downed Vikka in the side.
Vikka finally expires as Kaerli's stone fist pummels his body and the massive plasma burst from her electro-touch ends his life. As she kicks his side he turns over and an errant arm flops unceremoniously to the floor, with only a lone triumphant finger giving any sign of rebellion. Vikka slowly fades and enters the warm embrace of the only love of his life, the dark lady, Dakkru.
Was Vikka Guilty of the crime or did someone put him up to it?

« on: March 23, 2010, 09:37:23 pm »“On Edge”
Vikka is on edge. This was supposed to be a simple job, beat the priest and collect the 10,000 tria from Garosan Ringe. He knew that Garosan was probably not behind the beating. However, that didn't bother him, Garosan was just another another toff in a suit of armour, what did he know of violence and the street? Garoson was a toff, and he, Vikka, was a geezer, plain and simple.
He had beaten the old priest on Tuesday but since then things had not been going Vikka's way. First Garosan has disappeared, and then there was that run in with Elady and Realito yesterday:
Elady raises her arm and points a finger at Vikka, 'If I find out you have any role in causing the trouble Garosan is in, then I will be back to deal with you troll. Since my vows do allow me to act to protect an innocent, which Garosan is. Come on Realito lets leave, frankly the smell here is starting to get to me.'
It wouldn't be long before the priest woke up and pointed the finger at him. He had to get his money, he did after all have to pay off the person who put him up to all this.
Vikka walks round a corner and spies Vilthis standing there. He had met Vilthis a week ago and foolishly had bragged about the job he was about to do. At the time he thought he'd be done with it all by now and Vilthis was after all, just another toff. He freezes for a moment then slowly backs away before turning and running back in the direction of Harnquist's muttering, 'Ruddy nonce Rin-gee, where are ya' swearing as he goes.
Vilthis turned around at the sound of a voice noticeably distinct from a Hydlaa accent, that struck his mind vaguely on whose that voice belonged too and so he decides to trail it.
Vikka, somewhat out of breath sits in a chair just outside Harnquist's, looking around, his face a mask of irritation.
Vilthis, now disguised as a cloaked leaper, scurries about the locality before detecting a glimpse of Vikka. Nodding at Vikka, 'Do you mind?' he says
Vikka looks up at Vilthis, his eyes widen nervously for a second before he regains his composure,'Not at all', he mutters gesturing with his hand,'take a load off'
Vilthis fakes a limp and appears to need a seat desperately
Vikka sits a little uncomfortably but attempts to casually look around the forge and plaza, irritation again flashing across his face before he turns to Vilthis and says,''urt ya leg?'
Vilthis through his mask replies and attempts a Stronghold accent where he was schooled at "Nay, sire...I'm but a leper"
Vikka shrinks into the back of his chair,'Not chatchin' is it?' he says his face screwed up in revulsion.
Vilthis replies convincingly as an ailing leper "Nay sire...My treatment at the sanatorium has suppressed my condition. However, they are unable to save me leg"
Vikka rolls his shoulders in an attempt to calm himself, but he remains a little hesitant,'er, okay, jus' don't touch, jus' in case' he mutters before adding a volley of rude oathes under his breath
Vilthis nods as he slides slowly in to the seat "I thank ye" he says with gratitude. He leans back a little to make a convincing poise of a deformed spine
Vikka looks about himself again and lets out a hiss from his throat
Vilthis snidely put "I was at the sanatorium receiving me treatment, saw this old lemur in terrible shape"
Vilthis shakes his head under his hood "The poor priest doesn't seem to be able to make it for another night" he says waiting for an anxious response to the beating escalating to murder
Vikka turns to Vilthis and lets out a chuckle,'Rough streets, the street of Hydla... maybe he upset the wrong person'
Vilthis coughs repeatedly to convincingly portray a weak bodily constitution, "Alas it's shameful to beat up an old reverend. One must have been convinced of something to commit such heinous assault"
Vikka shrugs,'Worth 10,000 tria, and I got debts' he says before stopping himself. He then looks at Vilthis suspiciously, 'Dangerous game, pokin' yer nose inta other peoples business, specially if you is a leppa. You wanna watcha self mate!' he growls
Vilthis gives a small grin beneath his mask as he empathetically replies "Alas, who did promise the reward?"
Vikka's eyes narrow and he clenches his fists before he pauses for a moment, a small smile appearing on his face. Slowly he replies, attempting guile,'Like it said on the notice that was put up, Gary-san Rin-ge, he's behind it all.'
Vilthis ponders briefly as he realises stronger plausibility of the notice fraudulently posted since there was no direct dealings on Garosan's part with Vikka. He then nods to Vikka as he decides to leave his seat "I thank ye kindly for the hospitality to an old leper"
Vilthis bows with a portrayal of a deformed spine "May Talad bless ye"
Vikka smiles to himself pleased at his own cunning,'erm yeah, be lucky' he says before looking about then running off in the direction of Ojaveda.
Had Vikka fooled Vilthis and who was he going to see in Ojaveda?
