Re: Emoria: OOC

[Gadreille]

As we continue back from the council, Saint begins to become slightly worried about how closely Alos has attached herself to him. however, he chooses not to do anything about it, apart from taking care of the immiediate threat (that being the sythen that really really hates him). He fends off the priest's enquiries long enough to drive the party deep into wild territory. There's a fight that breaks out, nothing too crazy. We see out first Orfardin and realize that the gaunts are more organized than anyone expected.

While this is happening, we skip ahead about a month back to Kamon' Belkar, where Lairelosse and Meyul have developed a sort of grudging respect for each other. Meyul thinks Lairelosse is too soft, and Lairelosse believes Meyul has sacrificed far too much of herself for power. Lairelosse also is getting slightly more of a handle on her powers, but she still slips in and out of focus at times.

The party traveling to the mountains finally gets there, and Saint begins his song and dance for the paladins. He leads them on a merry chase with false artifacts while both protecting Alos and the Thendari from the more deadly attentions of Morgorath. Dax and the delegates from the south move on, and they begin to talk of bringing the Lady (that being Meyul) to the Papus of Vatienne in a peacekeeping mission.

In breale (is that the right place? probly not.), most of the fighting has finally calmed down, and the Lich inside whats-her-face is imprisoned with the help of vatiennian priests. She still has command of most of the Lich's powers, so the priests decide to send her back to Vatienne. If the Papus can't get that thing out of her, no one can.

Lairelosse, Meyul, Jean, and Saide travel to Vatienne and partake in dignitary-y things. it seems to be going pretty well until Lairelosse has crippling attacks of otherworldlyness. She finally manages to fight them off just before they're taken to see the Papus, and he expunges the problem from her altogether, booting her back into the normal frame of time. Just in time, the chick from Breale shows up, and Morgorath uses the signature of the Lich in her body to shadowwalk or whatever into the Papus's room and kill the crap out of him. Laire, Meyul, and Saide have to fight their way back to thier ship.

Once they get back to Kamon' Belkar, Meyul is pissed, and tells Morgorath to his face. She doesn't like being treated like a pawn. Morgy sics Saint on her, and she drops him really fast. Not one to be deterred, Morg rips out her parasite or whatever it is and leaves her to bleed out on the floor. Lairelosse grabs her and books it, and Saide sacrifices himself so they can both get away.

Saint blocks Lairelosse's way, and she tells hims to basically stop being such an overprotective asshole. he's somewhat taken aback, and doesn't really know how to respond. In the confusion, Lairelosse and Meyul slip away, heading north. Meyul wants to immediately take revenge, but Lairelosse councils patience.

Saint, in the meantime, is fuming. He feels as though he really doesn't know what he wants to be doing now that his sister has up and left his protection, and focuses on Alos. Unfortunately, she goes behind his back and makes the same deal he did with Morgorath, but without the good intentions. Asthe newest Moriquende, Alos starts doing Morgorath's will frighteningly well, and Saint is appalled at the reflection. He starts feeding information to the Thendari.

Lairelosse and Meyul escape the tower and join Nilus and his group of Aryans. They fight hordes of Gaunts, and both Meyul and Lairelosse prove to be fairly invaluable in battle. Against thier better judgement, both Nilus and Lairelosse find themeselves atttracted to each other, and a battlefield romance blooms (admittedly, a somewhat dark, I-can-kill-you-really-easy kind of romance).

They finally assault Morgorath's stronghold (not really sure what the plans from Kalon or Dax were there, so I left it kinda open), and Meyul resumes control of the south. Saint stabs Morgorath in the back at the last minute, but he is a being of pure will at this point, and impossible to kill. Saint goes into the shadow plane and agrees to be the new avatar of the council of shadow, as this cuts all power to Morgorath and essentially makes him cease to exist. Upon breaching the material plane again, Saint considers seizing power for a moment... and then lets it go. He ceases to exist as well.

After the war, Alos begins kidnapping Quende children and entering them into pacts with shadow spirits, creating a very small group of Moriquende.

Emorians.... Valinyx pushes forward.

Gabe and Spectre, welcome back. We have work to do. Let me go over what we have. Make sure you guys read my recap on the previous page as well. Spectre, you and I have to figure out how to get your character back in the game.

[Spectre]

certainly. Just PMed you.
I'll read this and depending on the disposition, may be able to post tonight once i get home from work.

[Gabe]

I need to rewrite my last post but I'm ready to go all otherwise.

[Gadreille]

Alright. Since I am the last poster, I'll wait for you gents to go ahead.

[Kalon Ordona II]

Oh wow, hurray! Go you guys!

[Spectre]

Ha, we'll try to get it moving... Hopefully things will pick up.... If not... that's a big bummer. I read back a little a few days ago and am not against redoing a lot of this. Good points were made. So much diverse content for so little users. Just hard to keep together. Makes sense. . . .

[Gadreille]

I'd say that as of now, too many main players are uninterested in continuing. But if we can get even one thread moving again, I'll be satisfied.

*pokes deadeye Gabe*

[Spectre]

Then by all means, lets get Valinyx up and running again

[Gabe]

Hey guys, been more busy with this mission than I thought I'd be, but I did get around to fixing my last post. Just reworded some bits at the end that I didn't like. Working on my next post now. I was going to move the group into Valinyx with the next post if that's okay with you two.

[Gadreille]

That's fine. Just keep it in the outskirts for now.

[Gabe]

Awwwriiight! Post is up. It's not a wall of text filled with pure awesome, but it does move our group forward. Since we aren't waiting on the world's events (or the other 15+ players responsible for them) I feel that we can move things along more quickly.

That said, the whole pure awesome thing is ready to go in my next couple of posts, I just didn't feel like it should have been in my most recent post. Happy to be back!

[Gadreille]

Woops, my post was all messed up. Fixed now.

I kinda feel like I'm just BSing til we get all these people together. Like you said, we don't really have to wait now.

[Gabe]

Sorry that it's been a month since I posted, but my deployment is officially over today! That said, what do you guys need to see in my next post? The group from Idona is already at the meeting place, so I feel like all I can do is have more conversation and maybe allusion to what's going to happen when Nilus carries out the contract. I'm ready to move forward at any time.

[Gadreille]

I see your point. I don't know if Spectre is interested in continuing...*cough* uh, Spectre? Are you?

[Spectre]

are you kidding? if it gets me active here i'll do just about anything. pahaha.

[Gadreille]

K. Maybe we should do some sort of collaborative that gets us to Gabe quicker. I'll let you decide.

Otherwise, you're up for a post.

[Spectre]

I think that may be more beneficial. Only because my post is just going to be boring, and it may be much more community friendly to just get this moving again rather than deal with everyone posting separate pieces dealing only with themselves and NPC's, while it may be best to just make a short timeskip.

Details needed from me would be that My Character- Lord Dastan is travelling with 4 other templars [Sion, the young swordsman, Kesta, the tall skinny pale spearman. Nariya, the red-haired bright eyed marksman. Lastly Sorze, the mountain of a man with a large battle ax. All of them wearing dark navy robes or cloaks concealing most of their persons.] who are not only his closest friends, but desperately loyal to him. They are his invisible eyes and ears when he is unable to be in more than one place at a time. I would hope for them to live, so they could kill 'Renkar' and his men at arms, before either leaving, or just continuing their service to him via the shadows.

anything else you need from me so we can move forward?

[Gadreille]

How is he goin. To convince Renkar to give him the job?

[Spectre]

Actually- know what?
How much longer do you need Renkar?
If you don't need him long, I may just make a short-ish post about how it is I convince him, then head to the meeting point.

[Gadreille]

He's not really needed, though I would like gabes character to murder him...

[Spectre]

Oh yeah i forgot you wanted that. Nevermind.
Let's just say that Renkar divided his responsibility to the bureaucratic needs of the job to himself, and allowed Dastan to go along, that way it wouldn't divert his focus on the main plan of the deal, or whatever?

[Gadreille]

That will work. Perhaps he would think that Alys would feel slighted at being escorted by someone whose position was revoked; but Alys will just pretend to feel upset when in reality it's what she wants.

[Spectre]

Sounds good. In that case, Templar Dastan will travel alone, then.
Whatever way you spin it, I'll go along with. I'm easy
