Oramac Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 As I'm thinking about this, can I safely assume this is the same Varren as before? Not a clone or some re-animated corpse or something weird? Also, if so, can I assume he still has all his previous memories and such? Thanks!

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I really had to talk myself out of having Bronan outright kill Varren again.

cn3wton Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I did a quick post to expand Bronans and Varrens dialogue.

DarK_RaideR Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I should mention, I like how Teri remembers to write about the trivial stuff like eating, clothing and taking care of her leather items. It adds a very real and humane feeling to the story 2 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
Terinatum Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I should mention, I like how Teri remembers to write about the trivial stuff like eating, clothing and taking care of her leather items. It adds a very real and humane feeling to the story Thanks, man. I really enjoy placing myself in her boots and seeing what I might notice that may also affect her thinking. I try not to just duplicate what I think is important, because then I lose track of her story. And I'm trying to make those 'things' in my life work better so why not glorify them a bit in the game?! Cooking especially. I'm glad Bacon is a chef. And Bronan being a lifter even in the story. So now I can find out something about Oramac that will intrigue me and keep me thinking about my days and the story we are going through with the characters. I know, I need a day job that doesn't stimulate my fantasy thoughts so easily!! lol 1 Quote The Way Better Now than Back Then Better Now than Later On Link to comment

So now I can find out something about Oramac that will intrigue me and keep me thinking about my days and the story we are going through with the characters Hmm. I'll think about this as well. I've got a basic outline for Oramac's backstory, but I could flesh it out a bit more. I'll keep it in mind! 1 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment

Terinatum Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 We can't get back to camp without a post first. Militia leader is testing us. Quote The Way Better Now than Back Then Better Now than Later On Link to comment
cn3wton Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ok quite a bit of railroading. I was going to post more but i do feel like I should let everyone gather themselves and share their opinions. Thoughts on how to approach investigating the area, who they would like to propose as a potential leader, and opinions on what they have seen. IF gains wants to add anything he can edit his post. Just a quick note Teri you and Bacon entered the Praedorian camp, not the militia. The praedorians are a elite mercenary group. Bronan and Oramac are the ones who visited the militia. Also the statue in the praedorian camp where the scale appears even by way of justice holding it that way is meant to represent that their few members are worth many more of others (aka 1 man worth a dozen others etc). I promise the real adventuring will begin in earnest with the next post! Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

DarK_RaideR Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Posted, didn't want to lead everything and let others play second fiddle, so I wrapped up things at the praedorian camp since Bacon started this whole angle. I'll let Teri write about our surprise in finding out Varren is alive and spark the discussion about what happened, what we found etc then Bronan and Oramac can tell us about The Giant etc. Might pop in again later to contribute to the discussion and share Bacon's thoughts about Varren's return. Don't think we have an outdoorsman with us, so I'd go for Flo's stealth and scouting skills to lead us into the scene. Bacon is a little shaken by Bronan's decision-making lately and doesn't know Oramac long enough to trust him yet, so if there absolutely has to be a leader, he'll probably support Flo but will not object if he is asked to lead. Thanks for letting us know what that statue stands for, cn3wton. Je sui le derp. Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment

DarK_RaideR Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Nice one. I'll save the response for after cn3wton posts what happens and included in a fuller post later on 1 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
Terinatum Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I also added something I've been wanting to for a bit now. Flo's going on a magic carpet ride, inside anyway! cn3wton: can Flo score some weed/hash-like substance in this game. Not now, but I have a route I want her to go on and a drug would help things along. She wouldn't get it around this 'town' as she would swear everything's been tampered with, substance - wise. So no worry on a quick answer. Quote The Way Better Now than Back Then Better Now than Later On Link to comment
cn3wton Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 That should be ok teri. I am sure you wouldn't include it unless it impacts your character in some way. So I have no shame in saying that this quick post is a stalling tactic. I have been crazy busy and, while not stressed, finding it difficult to write up the next part. So I figured this could be a good way for you all to flex your own creative muscle. Been itching for a fight in the game to show off your characters strength? Write about an epic battle. Etc. I plan to have the next real part of the story up and must apologize again for the lack of recent updates. 1 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

DarK_RaideR Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Look at Teri going all 90s grey and edgy with her character.... No worries, cn3wton. Life always comes first and the game has a fine pace already Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
Oramac Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 No worries, cn3wton! This is actually a cool little caveat. It gives us a chance to explore our characters backgrounds a bit and how they might decide to share that with others. I like it.

Terinatum Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Take your time, Cn3wton and no apologies. We'll put together a little epic battle. Say just outside of the town before getting near the protected area?Fellas? What's your pleasure!? Personally, I'm going for a good backstab or two! and some distance bullseye action. 1 Quote The Way Better Now than Back Then Better Now than Later On Link to comment

I certainly wouldn't mind using Sneak Attack. Also, I have a rough draft for a "campfire story" post in progress too, if that's more what we want.
