[TOWN] Town Guidelines (please read)

Free Form Roleplaying

Your character can range from a Human to a Tarrasque to an Orc or whatever you can dream of. There are endless possibilities. The goal is to have fun and RP with anyone in Town. The topics listed below are to help YOU integrate your character into the Town population and to help you have fun. If you have any questions just PM or ask a council member, we are here to help everyone.<\/span>\n<b><u><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Council Members<\/span><\/u><\/b>\n\nCouncil Members\n\nnone currently\n\n<b><u><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Topics<\/span><\/u><\/b>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">The Town Council<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">PC\u2019s and NPC\u2019s: Creation, Development and Interaction<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">TIAP (Town Indoctrination and Apprentice Program)<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Godmodding: What it is and How to Avoid it<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Plots: How to Create and Interact with them<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Threads: Overview, Creating, Populating and Plotting<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Town Law<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Election Guidelines<\/span>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Definitions and Acronyms<\/span>","word-count":172,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-04T01:29:00","value":"<b>Town Council<\/b>\n The Council is a group of seven regular role players who have been elected into office by their peers. Their job consists of giving general help to anyone who needs it (and looking pretty \ud83d\ude09). If you have a question, bring it to a council member and they can help. If it is a large question, bring it to the town hall thread where the entire council (And any interested Town folks) can discuss it.\n Mainly the Council is consulted when someone wishes to create a large plot, as stated in the plot section, but if you would like to suggest changes to town, they are good people to ask.\n One of these members is the current town Mayor. The Mayor is a shiny council member who is the main voice of the council, and in reality has little more power than the rest of the council. However, they have been elected alone out of everyone else, so they are normally the most experienced and knowledgeable (not to mention friendly) of the lot of Council members, which is saying something.\n Note that the Council members have no TRUE authority besides what you give them. They are not Mods, they have not been appointed by Rich Burlew, and they were elected by people in the town. They can disapprove of something, and you can ignore them if you really feel compelled to. They are, however, knowledgeable about Town and freeform role playing, so I would advise listening to them, since they do know what they are talking about.","word-count":259,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-04T01:29:00","value":"<b>PC\u2019s and NPC\u2019s: Creation, Development and Interaction<\/b>\n PC Characters: These are what make this town run, what give it something to actually <i>do.<\/i> Without characters, there would be nothing.\n Character Creation is a very interesting process. Here is what I suggest:\n 1) Come up with a general idea. Not too general, and perhaps with some certain interesting details, but nothing really set. Give him a decent background explanation, but not a very rigid one. If you are into DnD type stuff, maybe write up some stats for him just so you can get an estimate of what he can do.\n 2) Post your mostly complete character in the Characters of Town thread. This allows people to learn just exactly who they are talking to. I also suggest getting a custom made avatar so that people will see what your character looks like.\n 3) Send your character to Town. I know, here I am telling you not to totally create your character, and then throw him into the place anyways? What am I thinking, right?\n Well I notice that people tend to get an idea of what their character is, and then when they come to Town they find themselves wanting to play something different, but they get confined by their character. So what I suggest is having an overview of your character and letting the details fall into place as you go. It gives you a more relaxed character creation, and one that tends to give you a character you like to play.\n 4) Give your character time to develop and look around town. This will be when your character begins to \u2018harden\u2019 and gain personality. This may change, but this is when you decide who exactly your character is and where he\/she came from, etc.\n 5) Plot time! Once you do everything else, begin bringing in plots to further develop, reveal, whatever, your character. These can be background plots, random plots, just anything to have fun with.\n As for general limits and explanations of how to do step 1:\n You can have any race, be from anywhere, and have any background. Town is pretty much a planar crossroads, you can meet ANYTHING here. I do recommend that you stay away from gods\/deities\/way too powerful characters until you get the hang of things though. Above all, try to have fun. We have characters ranging widely in seriousness, though the town (as of now) is a bit more serious than humorous.\n You can have more than one character, but like the powerful characters, I recommend mastering playing one character before moving on to multiple characters. I also highly recommend that keep yourself to 3-4 characters at max. Let me tell you from personal experience, when it gets beyond that, it can get hectic. Very hectic.\n Now NPC\u2019s are the \u2018backup characters.\u2019 They are normally not very developed, have one simple task that they perform, and that\u2019s it for them. In all but the rarest cases they are tied to a certain thread, as mentioned in the thread section.\n In general, if the creator of an NPC is online, let them use him\/her. If they are not, try not to do anything major to the NPC, unless you have permission. Otherwise, feel free to do what you like to them.\n As a side note: Character speech is usually given a specific color to distinguish it from descriptive text. It is very helpful for all of us.","word-count":574,"index":2,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-04T01:30:00","value":"<span style=\"color:red\"><b>-Notice as of 2009 and more recent times-\nThis section is no longer relevant as the TIAP has been abandoned and unstickied.

I see a vast difference between the people who do get help from them, and the people who do not. Trust me, you will benefit from their experience.\n All you have to do is go the thread and post that you want a mentor. It is advised that you give a time zone and preferred method of communication (like AIM, PM, e-mail). The mentors will come to you after that, and you two will work out the rest.","word-count":165,"index":3,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-04T01:31:00","value":"<b>Godmodding: What it is and How to Avoid it<\/b>\n\nGodmodding: Taking control of someone else's character without their expressive permission. This term applies to any extent of control, especially including any reactions to something you have done.\n\nUsing this definition of godmodding condenses our rule \u2018Do not Godmod\u2019 to one very simple but inclusive rule: Do not control someone else\u2019s character. This seems a simple enough thing to avoid, but in some situations (such as combat) people take control in a limited way without realizing it.\nStill using combat as our example, here are three examples of godmodding. One blatant, one general, and one subtle in successive order:\n (And yes, Vael is me. Darn my godmodding! \ud83d\ude09)\n\n1. Vael shoots a blast of energy at (PC) and the energy rends (PC) who falls dead with a wail.\n2. Vael swings a sword at (PC) and strikes home, leaving a small angry red line of blood.\nThe third example is split into two posts by two separate people to show the entire situation:\n3. Post (PC) \u2013 (PC) draws his weapon and readies himself for combat, going on the defensive.\nPost (Vael) \u2013 Vael slashes (NPC), giving him a gaping wound and reverses the attack, striking at (PC)\n\nThe first example of godmodding is obvious, I attacked someone and killed them, usurping all of their control over their character, not even allowing them to describe how they died.\nThe second example is fairly noticeable as well. I attacked and rather than allowing them control over their character, I went ahead and said that they were hit rather than giving them a chance to respond.\nThe last one is a rather subtle godmod, though it is still there. I did not post a definite reaction for the PC, only saying that I attacked them. I did not kill anyone\u2019s NPC without their permission, only using the NPC with general license. However, what I did do was presume that I hit the NPC. What if (PC), or another person nearby had wanted to prevent me from harming the NPC? I effectively denied them a chance to react to my attack, though my use of the NPC was okay.\n\nGodmodding in non-combat situations is just as bad as doing it within combat. Some examples of non-combat godmodding are as follows:\n\n1. Vael casts Heal and cures (PC)\u2019s wounds.\n2. Stealthily Vael picks (PC)\u2019s pocket and steals (something).\n3. Vael dodges the bouncer blocking the door and runs outside.\n\nIn the first example I did not allow someone the chance to say how grievous their injury was, or even if they had something that would resist healing spells. In short, they lost a chance to react. You would normally assume people like getting healed, but in town people are crazy, so you never know.\nSecond example. What if the character is sharp-eyed, clever, or simple lucky? Again, try to do something rather than succeed.\nThird example. Now this seems okay, and perhaps in responding to someone else\u2019s post it would be. But if someone says \u201cI block the door\u201d and you run past them without letting them respond, it is godmodding. This, perhaps, is not the best example, as it could be either godmodding or a reaction statement that is fine. I include it merely so that you can see that there are different levels to godmodding, and that it is complex to determine whether some things are godmodding are not. If you aren\u2019t sure, don\u2019t act, try to act.\n\nNow that I have defined godmodding and given some examples, the question to answer is: How can I avoid godmodding by accident?\nThe answer is this: You can try to do anything to someone, but they control what actually happens to themselves. Never deny someone a chance to react, no matter what you do. Before you post, consider what you have written. Do you directly affect someone with it, adversely or positively? Do you block them off from some options that someone would normally have in their situation? If the answer to either question is yes, you probably need to revise your post.\nNote, however, that the definition states that this is only godmodding if you do <b>not<\/b> have someone\u2019s permission. If you obtain someone\u2019s OOC permission to godmod, then feel free to godmod against them within their restraints. However, I recommend that you merely work out someone\u2019s response before time, just in case something unexpected comes up (like another player interfering).\n\n<span style=\"color:black\">However, just as bad as taking control of someone else's character is making your own never get affected by them. As Regiji says: \"The counter part to an irresistable force is an immovable object.\" Therefore, you should let people at least achieve SOMETHING when they attempt to affect you. You don't have to all the time, but if your character is continually \"immovable\" you will be godmodding, and people will be extremely likely to ignore you. So don't just \"I dodge\" everything, okay? Let people do something to you if they try.<\/span>\nAlso note that there is another form of godmodding similar to the above, which will be known as \u2018passive godmodding\u2019 (kudos to Iames for the name). Passive godmodding is when a player ignores an entirely legitimate post for little to no reason. If you miss reading a post, that is one thing, but to ignore a post intentionally is very bad form. You are allowed to react to someone\u2019s post in nearly any way you want, but ignoring it really should not be done unless they are godmodding or adversely affecting an ongoing plot without permission. On that last note-","word-count":940,"index":4,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-04T01:31:00","value":"<b>Plots: How to Create and Interact with them<\/b>\n\nPlots are rather delicate issues in Town. Most people have preconceived notions as to how they want their plot to begin, proceed and end, so even normally allowed posts may be considered godmodding (or at least interfering) for the purposes of a plot.\nWhen interacting with something that appears to be an ongoing plot, consider your actions carefully. If they have significant impact on the plot, you normally should check your action with the player either by PM or OOC conversation.\nActually tacking down a definitive way to avoid this is rather tricky, because what you can and cannot do to a plot is largely determined by the plot\u2019s nature and its creator. In general, if your character has an easy and simple solution to a plot problem, check with the creator of the plot. Characters in plots are also largely immune to death from non-plot sources, since their health may be vital to the advancement of a story, so try not to fatally wound them, or you may be ignored.\nCreating a plot is fairly simple. Think of your plot. If it affects a large portion of town, involves a character who is supposed to be fairly powerful, or involves a large number of NPC\u2019s (think army or large group), you should get it approved by the council. Please note, however, that the council DOES NOT have the authority to keep you from creating and starting your plot. They do, however, give you a general idea of how the town will react to the plot, whether it seems as though you might godmod with your plot, and what they think should be improved\/changed\/edited from your plot. The final decision of whether your plot happens or not comes from YOU. The council is merely a handy group which can give you advice and ideas for your plot. If the council does not approve of your plot, and you run it anyways, many people may ignore your plot due to the problems that the council saw in it. It is far easier for everyone if you merely abide by the councils decisions and advice.\nWhen running your plot, I urge you to be adaptive. Let people join in with their own ideas and abilities, and be willing to see your plot change and the final ending be somewhat different. If you have your heart set on a certain ending or a certain path, either try to work around people\u2019s acts\/decisions, or talk to them OOC about what you would prefer. Most people will understand your preferences, and abide by your wishes. It is your plot after all. However, they want to have fun too. Try not to just ignore what someone does unless you have too. I know I said earlier that people have preconceived notions, and that they have the liberty to ignore posts if they interfere, but I find that the best plots are the ones that go with the flow and work with the characters as they react. If you want to make an exclusive, extremely rigid plot, I advise that you write a story rather than play it out on the boards. Interaction is what RP is all about, after all.","word-count":542,"index":5,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-04T01:32:00","value":"<b>Threads: Overview, Creating, Populating and Plotting<\/b>\n The real, main thing to know about threads is this: each one represents a different place in town. You are only supposed to post (and \u2018exist\u2019) in one thread at a time, unless your character can create an avatar or some such, which is entirely possible. When you go somewhere else, post that you are leaving the thread you are in and go to the next place you want to go. In general, every building attaches to the Street thread in some way, so you can just leave on thread, go into the street thread for a single post, and then into your new thread. Certain places are connected in other ways which are usually specified in the first post.\n For example:\n\n 1) The Temple of Inari, Sneak\u2019s Milk Bar Restaurante, and Trog\u2019s Tavern are connected by portal-mirrors. Basically you step through the appropriate mirror and end up in the other thread.\n 2) Trog's Second Floor is connected to Trog\u2019s tavern via stairs, as one might guess. While the second floor does not have any <i>normal<\/i> method to get out into the streets, people have been known to slip out of windows\u2026\n\n Also, within certain threads there are \u2018subsections\u2019 that allow people to know exactly where within the thread someone is. You must state within the thread when moving between subsections, and normally at the top of your post you should state what subsection you are in. Most partitioned threads make a note of this in the first post.\n Examples include:\n\n 1) The Temple of Inari- The Temple of Inari is divided into the Sanctuary, Gardens, Summoning Chamber, Hospital Wing, Priest Quarters, and the Ice Chamber, as well as the Meditation Chambers.\n 2) Trog\u2019s Second Floor- There are 20 rooms on the second floor, and quite a few are permanently (or temporarily) occupied.\n 3) Sneak\u2019s Milk Bar Restaurante- There are 26 tables\/booths\/sitting areas in the restaurant.\n\n For the most part, we are relaxed about posting the area at the top of your post, but when someone new enters the thread, or when you are first posting, etc, you should probably state where in the thread you are.\n Some types of threads are temporal distortions, and your character can coexist in one or more of these threads while also in a normal thread. These places include (but are not limited to :P):\n\n 1) Any Court Trial\n 2) The Arena\n 3) \u2018Party\u2019 Events\n\n Some threads also contain permanent NPC\u2019s. Normally the first post in a thread gives you a general overview of the NPC\u2019s contained within the thread. While the owner of the thread is not in, feel free to control the NPC\u2019s as you will as long as you do not grievously injure them, steal all of their wealth, etc. Just don\u2019t do anything major to them.\n Also, not all threads are IC threads. Threads that are OOC are usually labeled \u2018OOC\u2019 in some part of their title. Within an OOC thread you do not need to use brackets, parentheses, etc, since no one will post in them IC at all.\n I cannot stress enough just how much you should read the first post in a thread before posting in a thread. Every vital piece of information about a thread is normally listed in that first post. Even if you have been around a while, you never know, something might have been updated or changed.\n\n Restarting a thread is a tradition carried over from the old boards, and a method used to keep down the number of pages in a thread. Once a thread hits 50 pages, we will begin a new thread with another Roman Numeral to the side. In order to restart a thread, the simplest method is this:\n\n 1) Quote the first post of the old thread.\n 2) Copy it, and remove the quote tags.\n 3) Start a new thread and give it the name with appropriate Roman Numeral.\n 4) Paste in the old thread\u2019s first post.\n 5) Create the thread.\n\n Creating a new thread\/area is something that anyone can do. You need no permission to create one. I do, however, suggest that you do the following things if you create a thread. Keep in mind that this is for everyone\u2019s convenience.\n First, in the first post, give everyone a description of the area, and a little extra depending on what type of place it is. If it is a wilderness location, then a description alone will suffice. If it is a shop or tavern, list what you sell. If it is a temple, give a general description of the deity worshipped there.\n Second, list the general personality\/description\/speech color of any NPC's that reside in the area.\n Third, add anything else that seems necessary or just plain interesting or fun.\n\n Populating your created thread is something that gives people a lot of trouble. It\u2019s like trying to get a new business off the ground. However, I have compiled a few things that may help you get started.\n\n 1) Start with a BANG. This is a very good way to attract people. When your thread starts, have a sale, throw a party, do something entirely random and attention getting, but just attract people to the thread for that initial creation. The flood may die off, but if you do well enough that first time it could be your rescue from descent into darkness.\n 2) For pities sake, don\u2019t just make a shop. Shops are nice and everything, but they do not give people a place to interact extensively. Add something onto your shop if it has to be a shop. Give people more reason to come than just buy things, and shout out your specialties.\n 3) Be unique. We have bars, taverns, and temples. Try for something new, or something old with a really unusual flair.\n 4) Be active within your own thread. Do things to make people come, and when they do come, BE THERE. NPC\u2019s are nice and all, but they don\u2019t attract people to your thread.\n\n Plots and threads are an interesting combination. Sometimes, when people do not want to intrude in the town, they create and entirely new thread for just their plot. This allows them greater freedom with what they do, since they only affect people who desire to be affected, since they would not be in the thread without wanting to get involved in the plot. Normally it is not suggested that you get Council permission for plot creation if the plot is within its own thread.","word-count":1090,"index":6,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"wxdruid","timestamp":"2006-12-04T01:36:00","value":"<b><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Town Law (In Character)<\/span><\/b>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">The Town Police exist in the Town to uphold the law, enforce the peace and arrest criminals.

[{"from":"Lord Iames Osari","timestamp":"2006-12-07T19:13:00","value":"<span style=\"font-size:medium\"><b><span style=\"color:red\">GUFIPOLICE STATION<\/span><\/b>\n<\/span>\nInside the building there are many people at various desks. They all have something in common, a badge. This badge certifies that they are members of a squad developed and devoted to doing just one thing, stopping crime. They are the GUFIPOLICE.\n\nAs you walk into the [Foyer] you can see a large doorway on the right in what you're sure is an outside wall. Looking through it you can see a set of metal stairs leading down to some more cells. A sign above the doorway says\n<blockquote>Cell Block Extension<\/blockquote>\n\nA sign over the front desk reads\n<blockquote>Amulets of Trueseeing in Operation. Please leave Lies and Illusions at the door<\/blockquote>\n\nBehind and to one side of the desk in Captain Iames's office, there is a glowing white portal which leads to his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=28068\">planar realm<\/a>.\n\nI will update this as often as I can, but please remember that it may not be current.\n\n<b> The Rules: <\/b>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nIf the police get evidence on a crime, and are able to track down the criminal, then we arrest him. The suspect will be in jail for a period of time according to the crime, after which the criminal will be released back into town. Due to rights for a speedy trial, the criminal will be held at max for 48 hours in the station if we can't settle it in court.\n\nIf the a criminal makes a successful hit, they will PM the person attacked with evidence. The person hit will only be able to tell us of the evidence. Outright attacks will lead to outright arrests.\n\n{table=\"head\"]<b>The Crime<\/b>|<b>The Punishment<\/b><span style=\"color:black\">|<b>The Bail<\/b>\n<\/span>Murder|24 hours|5,500gp per victim\nAssault|24 hours|700gp\nResisting Arrest|12 hours|300gp\nVigilanteism\/Impersonating an officer|12 hours|500gp\nTorture|36 hours|11,000gp\nTheft|24 hours or until return of item|Payment for item\nDesecration\/Vandalism|Community service to repair\/clean up of building or desecrated place|200gp\nJay walking|Must spend time walking with 'Conan' to make up for it.|100gp\n[\/table]\n<\/details>\n\n<b> To Report A Crime <\/b>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nGUFIPOLICE members will be identified by a badge in their signature. Anyone posting information in the station without a badge will be considered giving us a 'tip', but if the evidence is not collected by the GUFIPOLICE, it can not be submitted as evidence. Please LINK to the thread where the crime was committed. We play this as real time, so if we enter the building after the crime, all we can do is collect evidence\/statements to prove the crime. If we are in the building while the crime is happening, that officer may make an arrest on the spot. If a crime happens, and there is no officer around, then the police don't know (although we may read OOC) that a crime happened.\n\n((To Link,\n1. Copy the address line <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp\/\">http:\/\/www.giantitp<\/a>...\n2. Paste in the post\n3. Place the [*url*] tag in front and [*\/url*] at the end of the address.\n4. Remove the * from the tags above.))\n<\/details>\n\n<b> To Kill An Officer <\/b>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nAlso, to murder a member of the police (since we can make arrests on the spot) we agree to abide by the following rules for kills. Normal murders would be the evidence searching thing, but hits on police officers would be different.\n\n1 hit: Arrested\n2 hits: Both arrested\n3 hits: Police choose one person to arrest, the organization the suspect belongs to (mafia\/troupe\/temple\/horde\/gang who decided to group together to make a police kill) members choose another one to be arrested by the police\n4 hits: Police choose one person to arrest\n5 hits: Organization choose one person to be taken by the police\n6 hits: Everyone involved in the attack goes free\n10+ hits: every goes free, 3 (Organization chooses who) of the participants cannot be arrested for the next crime they commit.\n\nThis must be hits in a row, if a random poster pops in and interrupts the hit, it stops the attack. Also one person = one hit, so for 3+ hits to happen, 3 different members have to attack. The officer being attacked will not have the option to interupt the hits, but may identify the people attacking them to another arresting officer.\n<\/details>\n\n<b> To Become An Officer<\/b>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nTo join the GUFIPOLICE force, either find the Captain or a Detective (see below) to swear you in. A police officer will receive weekly pay of 100gp, weapons (of your choice), weapon repair, and riot gear, a desk at the station, and room and board in the station barracks should they want to.\nSenior Officers receive no pay increase, but have authority over other officers (within reason). Sergeants receive 125gp\/week, have authority over Officers and Senior Officers, and can deputize citizens during an arrest, while Detectives in the force receive pay of 150gp each week, have authority over the lower ranks, may deputize citizens and swear in new officers, and handle police station political matters should the captain be off duty.\n\nOur motto:\nTO PROTECT AND SERVE THE GOOD CITIZENS OF TOWN. with a side of fries\n<span style=\"color:red\">G<\/span>AURDS <span style=\"color:red\">U<\/span>NITED <span style=\"color:red\">F<\/span>OR <span style=\"color:red\">I<\/span>MMEDIATE <span style=\"color:red\">P<\/span>ROTECTION <span style=\"color:red\">O<\/span>F <span style=\"color:red\">L<\/span>AW <span style=\"color:red\">I<\/span>NVESTIGATING <span style=\"color:red\">C<\/span>RIMES <span style=\"color:red\">E<\/span>VERYWHERE.\n<\/details>\n\n<b> Officers of GUFIPOLICE <\/b>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nPlease report crimes to any of the following officers.\n{table]<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=11054\">Captain Lord Iames Osari<\/a>|Taking charge of the force in name at last.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=593\">Detective Narfang<\/a>|Diversity at the police force just took another step in the right direction.\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=14352\">Sergeant Verdandi<\/a>|A dandy officer if we ever had one, but don't think you can handle her just because she's pretty.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=17863\"> Officer Rydia<\/a>|Bringing a lady's touch to a station filled with men and fairies...?\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=7706\"> Officer Aerin Hitomi<\/a>|A fiery red head, with emphasis on the \"fiery\".\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=12087\"> Officer Al the Mutt<\/a>|With a nose that knows, he's taking a bite out of crime.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=7835\"> Officer Mik the Trainer<\/a>|Needs police training.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=3122\"> Officer Daedrous Avari<\/a>|With a blade like that, you know the crime rate's gonna be slashed.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=20067\"> Officer Secret Agent Stick Omega<\/a>|From another dimension, he's got gadgets galore.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=15270\"> Officer Babhdan<\/a>|What is up with that h?\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=20624\">Officer Gutbok<\/a>|Another victory for diversity.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=20772\"> Officer Silas<\/a>|A mysterious man whose hands turn into weapons.

It doesn;t seem like much when you put the individual receipts tgether, but when you add 'em all up, in the three days that they did this, they bought enough weapons to arm about four dozen people. The GSA has also sent some men to the Omnishop. There they apparently bought a bunch of fabric and some crates of food. That seems a bit odd to me, especially when you consider that these fabrics and food were loaded onto a pair of carts that left town heading for the mountains.

I don't think it's food and cloth that they're buyin', if you get my meanin'.\n\nMeanwhile, the carts returned with crates supposedly filled with stone.

The goblins on the outer edges of the empire have been under dwarven or human control for a long while, some centuries, while most of the inner regions are either newly occupied or still trying to fight a guerilla war against the encroaching kingdoms. The guerilla war isn;t working, though, because the goblin tribes and cities won't unite under a single leader. So instead of having unified attacks, they tend to be poorly coordinated and only serve as a minor hindrance. So the dwarven and human kingdoms keep on invading, and keep on hunting down the goblins for tryin' to live on the land they were born to. Tryin' to keep their culture and their heritage alive. Tryin' to protect their families. Tryin' to...\n\n... forgive me, sir, I shouldn't go ranting about that kind of thing. But it makes me mad to think of it at times. Still, there's not much that can be done, and the kingdoms keep on encroaching. by the look of things, though, the mountain-dwelling goblins have become a little more unified. They've stepped up their raids, and are startin' to actually do some real damage to the invaders.

I cast this spell on my desk by picking up residual magic from the caster while investigating his work on the beach. Upon seeing this, and being completely alone in the station, I headed over to Heaven's Exiles to enlist help. There I met with interim leader Aesa, who scried on Jonnadiah and found him and his accomplice (or maybe master) in the library, disguised.\n\nWe went to investigate and Aesa was locked in some form of mental conflict with Jonnadiah before deciding to attmpt to assassinate\/capture him. During the conflict, Jonnadiah somehow <i>became<\/i> the library itself, so Aesa was forced to try to dissintegrate the building. A total of 50,000GP was paid from my pockets to fix these damages, plus an additional, undisclosed amount paid from the mage Jonnadiah himself.\n\n Because she was provoked, I believe charges of destruction of property should be dropped against Aesa, should the librarian decide to press them.\n\nDuring the conflict, the mage Aloysius caused significant destruction to the surrounding area by casting several large range spells. One of these spells resulted in sending Jonnadiah (who took the form of an ice elemental after the library walls were destroyed) flying throughout town in at least 6, maybe more, pieces.\n\n None of these pieces were recovered.\n\nDuring the conflict, I was a scant 5 seconds away from detaining the mage Aloysius before he melted into the shadows and most likely planeshifted away. Thus, the following charges should be pressed against Aloysius:\n --Destruction of Property (both counts (Beach and library) totalling somewhere around 7.5 million GP)\n --Murder (for his part most likely played in the Beach conflict)\n --Resisting arrest\n\n A fuller detailing of these events can be found here:\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=17794&amp;page=12\">http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showt...=17794&amp;page=12<\/a>\n<\/details>\n\n\n As Babhd\u00e0n finishes the report, he says <i>I need a drink after that battle, anyone care to join me?<\/i>","word-count":333,"index":877,"from-alternative":"User29"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-28T22:56:00","value":"Verdandi watches Aesa go, shocked. <span style=\"color:green\">Huh.<\/span>","word-count":7,"index":878,"from-alternative":"User4"},{"from":"Lord Iames Osari","timestamp":"2006-12-28T23:05:00","value":"Iames smiles. <span style=\"color:purple\">Alright.<\/span> He fires a ray of electricity at Silas, one so powerful it creates a sizable static field throughout the station.","word-count":24,"index":879,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Lord Iames Osari","timestamp":"2006-12-28T23:05:00","value":"Aerin goes over to Vera. <span style=\"color:orange\">What was that about?<\/span>","word-count":10,"index":880,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Silas","timestamp":"2006-12-28T23:06:00","value":"Silas stands his ground, and allows the electricity to hit him, but nothing seems to happen.

As it is drawn back into the clouds, Markan is left in all of his crimson-and-gold resplendent glory, blood-red cloak with gleaming flames whipping in the gale-force winds. He begins drawing scrolls from the scrollcase on his hip and discarding them with little more than a glance, and with each one there is a shimmer of light that surrounds him for nothing more than a second.<\/i>\n<i>Without warning, bolts of lightning begin hammering into the floor of the arena, ten in quick succession in a semicircle around Markan's square. As the lights clear, twelve massive lionlike humanoids stand in full view, black fur stretched tight over iron muscles and ebony manes whipping in the wind, their golden eyes quickening with battle-lust.<\/i>\n<i>Then the clouds begin to churn once more, like a witch's cauldron, drawn in much larger quantites down to Markan as he rises 30 feet into the air, rapidly shaped with but a thought into a vaguely humanoid form over 40 feet tall, smoldering red sparks where eyes should be and shadowy black talons for hands, with Markan rising into place over its right shoulder.<\/i>\n<i>Floating in midair, Markan taps two fingers to his faceplate in a salute to the crowd before drawing a simple iron flask from his hip. As he uncaps the flask, bloody crimson smoke begins pouring out to fill the space in the air 20 feet above the ground between the lines of leonals, taking its true form - that of flame and leathery wings, iron muscle and demonic horns, lightning bolt blade and whip of fire - one of the Abyssal Lords himself in all his glory - a balor. Markan's fists flare with his inborn crimson fire and the leonals bellow an earsplitting roar, and fall into battle stances.<\/i>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n<b>Round 1<\/b>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/spells\/foresight.htm\"><i>Dark Foresight<\/i><\/a> -Standard Action *\n<i>Fiendish resilience<\/i> - Free Action * (Fast Healing 25 for 5 minutes)\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/magicItems\/rings.htm#forceShield\"><i>Ring of Warding<\/i><\/a> - Free Action\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/magicItems\/rings.htm#spellTurning\"><i>Bracers of Spell Turning<\/i><\/a> - Free Action\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/spells\/timeStop.htm\"><i>Time stop<\/i><\/a> from scroll - Free Action - <span style=\"color:#111111\"><a href=\"http:\/\/invisiblecastle.com\/find.py?id=806587\">1d4+1=4, 1d4+1=5, 1d4+1=2, 1d4+1=3<\/a><\/span>\n\nTime Stop Round 1\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/spells\/trueSeeing.htm\"><i>True seeing<\/i><\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/spells\/arcaneSightGreater.htm\"><i>Greater arcane sight<\/i><\/a>\n\nTime Stop Round 2\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imarvintpa.com\/dndlive\/spells.php?ID=4413\"><i>Favor of the martyr<\/i><\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/spells\/mindBlank.htm\"><i>Mind blank<\/i><\/a>\n<b>Round 2<\/b>\n<i>Fell Flight<\/i> - Standard Action *\n<i>Time stop<\/i>\n\nTime Stop Round 1\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imarvintpa.com\/dndlive\/spells.php?ID=4471\"><i>Aura of vitality<\/i><\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imarvintpa.com\/dndlive\/spells.php?ID=5220\"><i>Assay spell resistance<\/i><\/a>\n\nTime Stop Round 2\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imarvintpa.com\/dndlive\/spells.php?ID=5047\"><i>Delay death<\/i><\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imarvintpa.com\/dndlive\/spells.php?ID=4455\"><i>Greater blink<\/i><\/a>\n\nTime Stop Round 3\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/spells\/summonMonsterIX.htm\"><i>Summon Monster IX<\/i><\/a> - Leonal, x2\n\n<b>Round 3<\/b>\n<i>Dark One's Own Luck<\/i> - Standard Action *\n<i>Time stop<\/i>\n\nTime Stop - <i>Summon Monster IX<\/i> x8 - Leonal\n\n<b>Round 4<\/b>\n<i>Time Stop<\/i>\n\nTime Stop Round 1\n<i>Summon Paraelemental Monolith (Smoke)<\/i>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imarvintpa.com\/dndlive\/spells.php?ID=5248\"><i>Mass Fly<\/i><\/a>\n\nTime Stop Round 2\nOpen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/magicItems\/wondrousItems.htm#ironFlask\"><i>Iron Flask<\/i><\/a> - Free Action\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imarvintpa.com\/dndlive\/spells.php?ID=4725\"><i>Crown of Glory<\/i><\/a>\n\nRemaining Time - Readied action, balor uses <i>unholy aura<\/i>\n\n\nNOTES:\n\nAsterisks are warlock invocations\nLeonals occupy squares L2-5, Q2-5, M6, and P6\nParaelemental occupies entire starting square\nBalor is in squares N6-7 and 06-7\n\n<u><span style=\"color:#663300\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imarvintpa.com\/dndlive\/Monsters.php?ID=460\">Leonal<\/a><\/span><\/u>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.d20srd.org\/srd\/monsters\/demon.htm#balor\">Balor<\/a>\n<b>SMOKE MONOLITH CR 17<\/b>\n\nN Gargantuan elemental (air, fire, extraplanar)\n<b>Init<\/b> +15; <b>Senses<\/b> darkvision 60 ft.; Listen +43, Spot +43\n<b>Languages<\/b> Auran, Ignan\n\n<b>AC <\/b>31, touch 17, flat-footed 20; Dodge, Mobility (-4 size, +11 Dex, +14 natural)\n<b>hp <\/b>378 (36 HD); <b>DR<\/b> 15\/-\n<b>Immune<\/b> critical hits, fire, flanking, paralysis, petrification, poison, sleep effects, sneak attacks, stunning\n<b>Fort <\/b>+27, <b>Ref<\/b> +20, <b>Will<\/b> +16\n<b>Weakness<\/b> vulnerability to cold\n\n<b>Speed <\/b>fly 90 ft.

The Temple of Inari XXXIII

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Fenric","timestamp":"2006-12-15T23:41:00","value":"You have entered the temple of Inari, in her capacity as the Goddess of Foxes.\n\nYou walk down an elegant white gravel pathway between full-grown pines. Stone lanterns provide a pure white light to the path, while casting elegant shadows among the trees.\n\nAt the end of the pathway, a bright red gate stands. A large fox carved from white alabaster gleams at each side of the gate. As you pass between the foxes and through the gate, you feel the presence of the goddess. Gentle and caring, but mischievous and lighthearted, you are never quite certain what will happen.\n\nPast the exquisite formal gardens, you finally step into the pagoda itself. There, at the end of chamber is a raised dais. There rests a statue of a beautiful werefox woman, flanked by two snow-white celestial foxes. Offerings of rice and incense stand before the statue.\n\nIn a niche off to the right side of the door sits a Fox-Cola vending machine. Next to the coin slot, the sign reads \"10 cp\";.\n\nTo the left side of the door is a magic mirror. This mirror is actually a portal to Trog's Tavern.\n\nProfile for Inari\n\nAlignment: Chaotic Good\nPrimary Domains: Good, Plant, Chaos, Healing\nSecondary Domains: Magic, Sun, Animal, Trickery, Knowledge, Water\nForbidden Domains: Evil, Law, War, Death, Destruction\n\nGoddess of the cultivation and growth of rice, including rice products. This gives her minor coverage for fertility. She is also the racial goddess of foxes, werefoxes, and kitsune.\n\nPriest Granted Powers\n\nRice Paddy: Once per day\nAs Entangle, but the ground changes to knee-deep mud, and instead of creepers, mature rice plants twist and writhe to grapple anything in the area.\n\nSushi Bar: Once per day\nYou create rice, fish, and sake. You can create enough to feed one medium sized creature for each two caster levels.\n\nSummon Celestial Fox: Special\nYou summon an image of Myobi (if you are a priestess) or Myobu (if you are a priest). The fox has HD equal to your level plus your wisdom bonus. In combat, the fox fights the same as a normal fox, but with appropriate bonuses for HD.\n\nCumulative Fox Abilities\n{table=\"Head\"]Priest Level|Times per Day|Special\n1|1|Fight, scout, and Cure Minor Wounds\n3|2|Cure Light Wounds\n5|3|Status\n7|4|Magic Circle Against Evil\n9|4|Cure Serious Wounds[\/table]\nTemple Facilities\n\nEverything but the Sanctuary and Garden has Dimensional Lock. The entire facility is Hallowed as per the spell with the Bless effect.\n\n- Sanctuary: the main sanctuary has the altar. This is where you must pray to speak to the goddess directly. There is a general magic circle in the center of the room.\n\n- Meditation Gardens: accessed through a door at the far end of the sanctuary. This is a standard zen garden with raked gravle, shady nooks, picturesque pines, stone lanterns, and small intricate bridges. An artifical stream hosts large koi, and a grand cherry tree resides on a picturesque island in the middle of a good sized pond. A female water dragon named Ayame (\"Iris\", as in the flower) resides in the pond, but is rarely seen.\n\n- Priest's Quarters: accessed by going down the stairs \"halfway down the sanctuary, to the right\", which leads to a covered pathway (technically under the garden). A cluster of japanese style paper-wall buildings.\n\n- Summoning chamber: A small building set apart from the others with solid stone walls, a sturdy roof, and a thick adamantine door. Inside; the obsidian ceiling, walls and floors are crawling with glowing silvery magical sigils. Literally crawling, the magic writing moves even as you look at it. In the very center of the room is a summoning circle of gold, platinum, and gemstones. The design is intricate beyond belief and it is worth wondering if even living creatures might find themselves bound inside should the priests wish it.\n\nHigh Priest\nFenric (PC)\n\nCouncil of Head Priests\n{table]Chairman \/ Head of Services|Exachix NorZilliar (PC)\nHead of Clerics|Atreyu, The Masked Llama (PC)\nHead of Accounts|Valathe (PC, Hoseki)\nHead of Healers|Elya (PC, Earin)|Head of Facilities\nHead of Facilities|Hachiro (NPC)[\/table]Priests\n\nAramir (PC, Kyrian\/Ares)\nRain (PC)\nAikidu (PC, guest cleric: not a priest of Inari)\nDF (PC, guest cleric: not a priest of Inari)\nFantastic Mr. Fox (PC, Roald Dahl Beholder)\nFenhai (PC, Gezina, guest cleric (of Kyrian!), not a priest of Inari)\nMhina (PC, Wukei, Healer (not a cleric at all))\n\nKnight Defenders of the Faith\n\nThis is a prestige class developed with the help of Fenric, Earin, Kantur, Planeshifter, Rilik, Exachix, and Psionic Devotee.\n\nHere is the <a href=\"http:\/\/homepage.mac.com\/stocksdale_tx\/KnightDefenderOfInari.html\">SRD-style Description.<\/a>\n\nEarin (PC)\nIlias (PC)\nAikidu (PC)\n\nTemple Maps\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/TempleSide.gif\"\/>\nSanctuary Cutaway View\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/NewTempleMap.gif\"\/>\nGround Floor\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/TempleUnderground.gif\"\/>\nUnderground Temple of Hleid = (Frost Chamber) on the map.","word-count":785,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Destro_Yersul","timestamp":"2006-12-15T23:43:00","value":"((Repost))\n<span style=\"font-size:xx-small\"><span style=\"color:green\">Who's still here? <span style=\"font-size:small\"><span style=\"color:black\">Destro looks out from behind the pillar again.

Goldshadow Psionics II

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-12T02:58:00","value":"<img src=\"http:\/\/i62.photobucket.com\/albums\/h107\/sjunderw\/GoldShadowSign.png\"\/>\n Halfway between the Temple of Inari and Trog\u2019s Tavern lies the home of Earin and Elya. It is nothing obviously unusual, just a large, two story home made lovingly out of wood and stone.\n Over the door hangs a vividly painted sign that proclaims the house to be the home of Goldshadow Psionics.\n\n Upon entrance one sees that the first floor has been converted into something resembling a cross between a shop and a library. There is a small desk to one side, a place for someone to greet new arrivals as well as take care of purchases. In the front half of the room there are shelves and glass display cases containing a large variety of psionic related items for sale. In the back of the room there are a number of well cushioned chairs, book cases full of tomes and manuals about psionics, though there are a small number of non-psionic books for those who might be looking for other things. This small library is available for anyone\u2019s use, though it is asked that you leave any books you pulls out on the tables for re-shelving by the NPCs. Near the shelves is a small bar\/coffee shop area for anyone planning to stay near the books for a while. There is a spiral staircase in one corner, leading both into the basement and to the second floor.\n <details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nAnything that is considered to be a Minor Psionic Item is fair game to be purchased normally. Medium Psionic Items are always stocked, but held in the back room, while Major Psionic Items (and custom psionic items) will require time for creation\/delivery.\n\nAnyone who wants to purchase psionic services that are not items will be referred to Elya and Earin. Currently they offer the services of:\n -Mind Healing (Restore memories, remove compulsions, charms, etc.)\n -Tracking\/Locating (We can find things, it isn\u2019t really too difficult)\n -Permanent Metamorphisis (think ultimate makeover)\n -Mind Reformation (Ever wanted to relocate your feats and skills? Now you can)\n -General Psionic Services (<i>anything<\/i> minor can be done)\n<\/details>\n\n\n The basement of the building is divided into three rooms. The large, main room is an expanded version of the library upstairs, combined with a large table and a good number of chairs. This is a generic meeting room, intended for the use of a psionics guild, but useable by anyone who might want a place for a large group to meet. This library follows the same rules as the upstairs library, except that its use is reserved for guild members, and books may be checked out.\n The second room is medium sized and contains a number of small rooms for meditation and for practicing psionics. This room\u2019s walls and sparse furniture have been protected against generally anything that might harm it.\n The third room is in one corner, heavily locked in mundane, psionic, and magical manners, thanks to the combined efforts of Earin and Elya. <details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nThe room denies any attempt to enter via magical or psionic means and is affected by Elya\u2019s Epic Dispel Ward (which prevents anything within its area from being dispelled, and if the dispel ward itself is dispelled, you have about 20 seconds (or less) before it becomes active again. Antimagic fields are negated within the ward\u2019s area). Also, the door and walls of the room are made out of sheer force, lined with mundane walls of iron and lead. The door has a single, extremely complicated lock of Earin\u2019s own unique design. Anyone who manages to enter the room without one of the two keys in their possession will find themselves immediately Suggested to leave the room. All else failing, there are two permanent alarms that will alert Earin and Elya to the unwanted presence of anyone in the room.\n<\/details>\n\n Once all the securities have been bypassed, someone entering the room will find themselves in an obviously extradimensional space. This room contains a large number of portals to Earin and Elya\u2019s providers, as well as any items for sale that are not on display.\n\n The second story contains the living quarters of Earin and Elya, as well as a couple of rooms for any business matters that need to be kept private.\n <details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nEarin and Elya will participate in less than legal activities and deals if they are convinced that there is nothing morally wrong with doing so. They approach such deals with caution, however, and Earin deals with them more often than Elya.\n<\/details>\n\n\n Earin and Elya have created a Psionics Guild, and anyone proficient psionically is welcome to join, should they get permission from Earin and Elya. The guild is dedicated to promoting psionics in the town, and providing any psionics service that people might want. They also are meant to train themselves and others in the skills of psionics.\n Anyone in the guild gets a discount on all the items in the store, and are welcome to use the expanded psionics library and the practice room in the basement at any time.\n\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i62.photobucket.com\/albums\/h107\/sjunderw\/guildbadge.png\"\/>\n<span style=\"font-size:medium\"><b>Psionics Guild<\/b><\/span>\n<b> Guild Heads:<\/b>\n Earin\n Elya<b>\nMembers:<\/b>\nRemy\nDeadly\nGegiet\nIria\nIames\nLyrak\n Eloquent Rune\nKyrian\n\n The NPC staff of Goldshadow Psionics are as follows:\n\n\n Grothok:<img src=\"http:\/\/i62.photobucket.com\/albums\/h107\/sjunderw\/grothok.png\"\/>\n Grothok is the general grunt worker, but very occasionally runs the front desk when Vivian is absent.

[{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-11-08T18:31:00","value":"Ok, this is going to be a thread to discuss Arena rules, stats, and other such stuff.\nAs of this moment here are our Arena Rules:\n\n<b>NOTICE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THESE RULES! THESE ARE THE 'STANDARD' ARENA RULES. IF YOU AND SOMEONE ELSE FIGHT WITH OTHER RULES, THEN JUST TELL THEM TO ME BEFOREHAND SO I WILL KNOW WHAT I'M JUDGING.\n<\/b><span style=\"color:black\">-Thank you.\n\n<\/span> ((CHARACTER CREATION))\n\n1) We use 3.5 rules. I am lenient in what I allow you to do, there can be some homebrew and supplemental rules in your character, as long as they are not ridiculous. To use homebrew you must get it approved by me first.\n\n2) All arena characters start with 312,500 XP when they are created.\n\n3) Characters use this stat generation method-\n -Point buy ONLY. We have elminated stat rolling in order to promote equality in stats. If you have a character who is already created with stat rolling, then you may wish to change them before going to the arena with them.\n\n4) Starting gold is 2,500,000. The end. You can spend it in any way you wish.\n\n5) All of your HD are maximized. In other words, take the highest number from your HD each level rather than rolling them.\n\n5) Once you have finished your character, PM me the stats. I will review them and make sure everything is correct. Please do tell me what order you took your levels in, and point out anything unusual. Label things thoroughly. If you took feats\/items\/stuff that is not in the SRD, please send me stats for it.\n\n((ARENA COMBAT))\n\n6) There are two styles of combat you can have. Grudge Match and Honorable Duel.\n -Grudge Matches start instantaneously. If you lose initiative, you are flat-footed.\n -Honorable Duels give each combatant 5 rounds to prepare with any spells, powers, or magic items that they want. You are not flat-footed when the match begins. You cannot move from your square until the five rounds are over.\n\n7) We use this map for our arena:\n<a href=\"http:\/\/i16.photobucket.com\/albums\/b46\/quitmeyer1892\/thearena2.gif\">Linky<\/a>\n\nKEY:\n-Each square is 5ft by 5ft.\n\n-Colored squares: These are the starting areas. The challenger starts in the Red square, the defender starts in the blue square. You can start anywhere in the square.\n\n-Big spikey circular thing in the middle: The Sarlaac pit. Or, for those who want to keep in more medieval, the Maw of Doom. Stepping in any of the squares the sarlaac touches starts a grapple check (Sarlaac has +25). Every turn while grappled, you take piercing and crushing damage, 3d6 each. After 2 full rounds of being grappled, you are sucked in and swallowed whole, taking 4d6 acid damage and 5d6 each of piercing and bludgeoning. The only way to escape is with a DC 25 climb check, which will let you escape from the digestive tract, but you're still grappled.\n\n-Brown diamonds with red dots: Lava geysers. Every time you step in one there's a 25% chance that you take 10d6 fire damage (reflex half).\n\n-Greenish blobs: Acid pools. 3d6 acid damage for every step through them. *\n\n-Grey circles: Normal, boring, 5' diameter boulders. Use them for cover or for improvised weapons, or whatever else you can come up with.\n\n-White circles with the two lines: Bunnies. Have absolutely no effect on the battle unless someone does something to them.\n\n-Weird stick figure in the upper-left hand corner: Waldo. Oh, there he is. Basically like the bunnies, but he can be used as cover, too.\n\n8) When posting your actions, describe exactly what you do- without resorting to technical terms. Then place all statistical parts of your post in a spoiler at the bottom of your post.\n\n9) Battles are to the death or to surrender. If you are reduced to negative HP, feel free to freeform and say are still standing, but you MUST surrender if you choose this option.\n\nAny questions\/concerns regarding the arena should come to me, You can also use this thread for public complaints\/requests\/questions.\n\nYour Arena Judge- Earin","word-count":677,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"InaVegt","timestamp":"2006-11-08T19:01:00","value":"Daniella el Blasto will challenge Elya unless she doesn't want to fight Daniella.","word-count":13,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-11-08T19:03:00","value":"Um...\nI haven't even created a character sheet for Elya, and I doubt she would accept such a challenge IC.\nSorry.","word-count":21,"index":2,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"InaVegt","timestamp":"2006-11-08T19:04:00","value":"Okay, I think I said unless she doesn't want to, Earin then?\n\nOn another note, is the thought bottle allowed, and vow of poverty?","word-count":24,"index":3,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-11-08T19:07:00","value":"Are they in the SRD?

The challenger starts in the Red square, the defender starts in the blue square. You can start anywhere in the square.\n\n-Big spikey circular thing in the middle: The Sarlaac pit. Or, for those who want to keep in more medieval, the Maw of Doom. Stepping in any of the squares the sarlaac touches starts a grapple check (Sarlaac has +25). Every turn while grappled, you take piercing and crushing damage, 3d6 each. After 2 full rounds of being grappled, you are sucked in and swallowed whole, taking 4d6 acid damage and 5d6 each of piercing and bludgeoning. The only way to escape is with a DC 25 climb check, which will let you escape from the digestive tract, but you're still grappled.\n\n-Brown diamonds with red dots: Lava geysers. Every time you step in one there's a 25% chance that you take 10d6 fire damage (reflex half).\n\n-Greenish blobs: Acid pools. 3d6 acid damage for every step through them. *\n\n-Grey circles: Normal, boring, 5' diameter boulders.

The Temple of Zamrel

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Cathrindir","timestamp":"2006-09-23T03:32:00","value":"The large white temple stretches up for two stories, more impressing with its length than its height. A large gold plaque on the front of the building reads as follows; 'Special Thanks to Hard-Ware for Creating the Temple of Zamrel'. The symbol of Zamrel is emblazoned on the front of the Temple, and two warforged guard stand at attention in front of the door, wearing the garb and holy symbol of a worsipper of Zamrel. Two large statues stand near them, just as still, depicting a man in Sea Green armor and holding a mace in one hand and a dagger in the other. The great azure doors open soundlessly, revealing a huge room stretching on for several hundred feet. A gigantic pool, two hundred meters long, is filled with water, but without a single ripple on the surface. Small green lights echo from the bottom, beautiful emeralds enchanted by magic. Several rooms to the left and right open into smaller rooms, their doorways built under large depictions of rolling waves.\nThe first few rooms have small other pools, intended for meditiation and inspiration, with foliage growing around them, and tropical fish playing and feeding. Other rooms lead to small hot tubs, intended for relaxation. A few lead to rooms holding holy scripts. At the end of the pool, there's a large statue of the man you saw as you entered, wielding his dagger in one hand and his mace in the other. His eyes are closed, his face wracked with concentration, and one hand is holding a dagger which is cutting through the water; the other is holding a mace, smashing sands apart. He's dressed in green mail and blue helm, and he seems content somehow.\nA large flight of teal stairs leads upwards behind the statue, onto a beautiful terrace with a view of the entire town. A large pool is beside it, and beyond that, a beautiful view of the sparkling sea.\n\n<b><span style=\"font-size:medium\">Profile for Zamrel<\/span><\/b>\n<b>Alignment:<\/b> Neutral Good\n<b>Domains:<\/b> Water, Healing, Nature, Plant\n<b>Secondary Domains:<\/b> Good, Law, Magic, Knowledge, Sun, Air\n<b>Forbidden Domains:<\/b> , Destruction, Evil, War, Fire\n\nGod of the Sea, and of all life living in it. Zamrel asks nothing of his followers besides to use the gentle waves of the sea to soothe the hurts of the world, and to use the spirit and strength of the waves to crush the sands of those who would defy the natural law of nature.\n\n<b><span style=\"font-size:medium\">Priest Granted Powers<\/span><\/b>\n<b>Create Water:<\/b> Twice per day.\nAs the spell Create Water, though the water is sweet and sustenant, and is equivelant to one meal for a medium sized creature each day.\n\n<b>Wave:<\/b> Once per day.\nYou use any existing water source large enough to create a wave, (it must be at least eight gallons) and create a small or large wave, depending on the amount of water used.\n\n<b>Gallons Used Damage Taken<\/b>\n8 Gallons <i>1d4-2 Crushing damage<\/i>\n10 Gallons <i>1d4 Crushing Damage<\/i>\n15 Gallons <i>1d6 Crushing Damage<\/i>\n30 Gallons <i>1d8 Crushing Damage<\/i>\n40 Gallons <i>1d10 Crushing Damage<\/i>\n50 Gallons <i>1d12 Crushing Damage<\/i>\n60 Gallons <i>1d12+4 Crushing Damage<\/i>\n<b><span style=\"font-size:medium\">Temple Facilities:<\/span><\/b>\n\n-Pools: The large pool (resembling the Washington Memorial's pool) in the entrance hall is not intended for swimming, or for doing anything other than preforming ceremonies.

Or, for those who want to keep in more medieval, the Maw of Doom. Stepping in any of the squares the sarlaac touches starts a grapple check (Sarlaac has +25). Every turn while grappled, you take piercing and crushing damage, 3d6 each. After 2 full rounds of being grappled, you are sucked in and swallowed whole, taking 4d6 acid damage and 5d6 each of piercing and bludgeoning. The only way to escape is with a DC 25 climb check, which will let you escape from the digestive tract, but you're still grappled.\n\n-Brown diamonds with red dots: Lava geysers. Every time you step in one there's a 25% chance that you take 10d6 fire damage (reflex half).\n\n-Greenish blobs: Acid pools. 3d6 acid damage for every step through them. *\n\n-Grey circles: Normal, boring, 5' diameter boulders.

The challenger starts in the Red square, the defender starts in the blue square. You can start anywhere in the square.\n\n-Big spikey circular thing in the middle: The Sarlaac pit. Or, for those who want to keep in more medieval, the Maw of Doom. Stepping in any of the squares the sarlaac touches starts a grapple check (Sarlaac has +25). Every turn while grappled, you take piercing and crushing damage, 3d6 each. After 2 full rounds of being grappled, you are sucked in and swallowed whole, taking 4d6 acid damage and 5d6 each of piercing and bludgeoning. The only way to escape is with a DC 25 climb check, which will let you escape from the digestive tract, but you're still grappled.\n\n-Brown diamonds with red dots: Lava geysers. Every time you step in one there's a 25% chance that you take 10d6 fire damage (reflex half).\n\n-Greenish blobs: Acid pools. 3d6 acid damage for every step through them. *\n\n-Grey circles: Normal, boring, 5' diameter boulders. Use them for cover or for improvised weapons, or whatever else you can come up with.\n\n-White circles with the two lines: Bunnies.

The Temple of Inari XXXIV

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"McBish","timestamp":"2007-01-04T05:22:00","value":"You have entered the temple of Inari, in her capacity as the Goddess of Foxes.\n\nYou walk down an elegant white gravel pathway between full-grown pines. Stone lanterns provide a pure white light to the path, while casting elegant shadows among the trees.\n\nAt the end of the pathway, a bright red gate stands. A large fox carved from white alabaster gleams at each side of the gate. As you pass between the foxes and through the gate, you feel the presence of the goddess. Gentle and caring, but mischievous and lighthearted, you are never quite certain what will happen.\n\nPast the exquisite formal gardens, you finally step into the pagoda itself. There, at the end of chamber is a raised dais. There rests a statue of a beautiful werefox woman, flanked by two snow-white celestial foxes. Offerings of rice and incense stand before the statue.\n\nIn a niche off to the right side of the door sits a Fox-Cola vending machine. Next to the coin slot, the sign reads \"10 cp\";.\n\nTo the left side of the door is a magic mirror. This mirror is actually a portal to Trog's Tavern.\n\nProfile for Inari\n\nAlignment: Chaotic Good\nPrimary Domains: Good, Plant, Chaos, Healing\nSecondary Domains: Magic, Sun, Animal, Trickery, Knowledge, Water\nForbidden Domains: Evil, Law, War, Death, Destruction\n\nGoddess of the cultivation and growth of rice, including rice products. This gives her minor coverage for fertility. She is also the racial goddess of foxes, werefoxes, and kitsune.\n\nPriest Granted Powers\n\nRice Paddy: Once per day\nAs Entangle, but the ground changes to knee-deep mud, and instead of creepers, mature rice plants twist and writhe to grapple anything in the area.\n\nSushi Bar: Once per day\nYou create rice, fish, and sake. You can create enough to feed one medium sized creature for each two caster levels.\n\nSummon Celestial Fox: Special\nYou summon an image of Myobi (if you are a priestess) or Myobu (if you are a priest). The fox has HD equal to your level plus your wisdom bonus. In combat, the fox fights the same as a normal fox, but with appropriate bonuses for HD.\n\nCumulative Fox Abilities\n{table=\"Head\"]Priest Level|Times per Day|Special\n1|1|Fight, scout, and Cure Minor Wounds\n3|2|Cure Light Wounds\n5|3|Status\n7|4|Magic Circle Against Evil\n9|4|Cure Serious Wounds[\/table]\nTemple Facilities\n\nEverything but the Sanctuary and Garden has Dimensional Lock. The entire facility is Hallowed as per the spell with the Bless effect.\n\n- Sanctuary: the main sanctuary has the altar. This is where you must pray to speak to the goddess directly. There is a general magic circle in the center of the room.\n\n- Meditation Gardens: accessed through a door at the far end of the sanctuary. This is a standard zen garden with raked gravle, shady nooks, picturesque pines, stone lanterns, and small intricate bridges. An artifical stream hosts large koi, and a grand cherry tree resides on a picturesque island in the middle of a good sized pond. A female water dragon named Ayame (\"Iris\", as in the flower) resides in the pond, but is rarely seen.\n\n- Priest's Quarters: accessed by going down the stairs \"halfway down the sanctuary, to the right\", which leads to a covered pathway (technically under the garden). A cluster of japanese style paper-wall buildings.\n\n- Summoning chamber: A small building set apart from the others with solid stone walls, a sturdy roof, and a thick adamantine door. Inside; the obsidian ceiling, walls and floors are crawling with glowing silvery magical sigils. Literally crawling, the magic writing moves even as you look at it. In the very center of the room is a summoning circle of gold, platinum, and gemstones. The design is intricate beyond belief and it is worth wondering if even living creatures might find themselves bound inside should the priests wish it.\n\nHigh Priest\nFenric (PC)\n\nCouncil of Head Priests\n{table]Chairman \/ Head of Services|Exachix NorZilliar (PC)\nHead of Clerics|Atreyu, The Masked Llama (PC)\nHead of Accounts|Valathe (PC, Hoseki)\nHead of Healers|Elya (PC, Earin)|Head of Facilities\nHead of Facilities|Hachiro (NPC)[\/table]Priests\n\nAramir (PC, Kyrian\/Ares)\nRain (PC)\nAikidu (PC, guest cleric: not a priest of Inari)\nDF (PC, guest cleric: not a priest of Inari)\nFantastic Mr. Fox (PC, Roald Dahl Beholder)\nFenhai (PC, Gezina, guest cleric (of Kyrian!), not a priest of Inari)\nMhina (PC, Wukei, Healer (not a cleric at all))\n\nKnight Defenders of the Faith\n\nThis is a prestige class developed with the help of Fenric, Earin, Kantur, Planeshifter, Rilik, Exachix, and Psionic Devotee.\n\nHere is the <a href=\"http:\/\/homepage.mac.com\/stocksdale_tx\/KnightDefenderOfInari.html\">SRD-style Description.<\/a>\n\nEarin (PC)\nIlias (PC)\nAikidu (PC)\n\nTemple Maps\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/TempleSide.gif\"\/>\nSanctuary Cutaway View\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/NewTempleMap.gif\"\/>\nGround Floor\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/TempleUnderground.gif\"\/>\nUnderground Temple of Hleid = (Frost Chamber) on the map.","word-count":785,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"McBish","timestamp":"2007-01-04T05:24:00","value":"<span style=\"color:black\">Lillah leans up against Kyrian.<\/span>","word-count":6,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Kyrian","timestamp":"2007-01-04T05:25:00","value":"<span style=\"color:navy\">I love you, Lillah.<\/span>","word-count":5,"index":2,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"McBish","timestamp":"2007-01-04T05:28:00","value":"<span style=\"color:purple\">I love you to.<\/span>","word-count":5,"index":3,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Kyrian","timestamp":"2007-01-04T05:29:00","value":"Kyrian slowly slides an arm around Lillah's waist again.

I had a curse placed upon me when I was with the legion. Apparently a gypsy thought it would be amusing to pull some tricks on the men in the group, myself included. The curse would take place five years after that date, if the person cursed had not found his life's true love. As it turns out, with me, I had not when the fifth year's time had expired. I thought nothing of it actually, since I had died and been ressurected I was certain the curses effects had worn off, seeing as you can't make a dead guy fall in love. Anyway, the gypsy told us that the first person we saw when we awoke would be our true love. <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">The curse took place while I was at the restaurant. I lost all control of my body, and had no way to speak to anyone. When Kender jumped in my mind, I could sense he was there, but couldn't communicate directly to him. He could however, see my thoughts, so I thought of things to relay the message. Anyway, he apparently got the picture, as he left. Next thing I know, S'Vreeem, one of our employee's whose a half dragon, carried me to a shrine that I believe her and Kender built. They placed me there with a sign telling those who passed by I was waiting for true loves kiss.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">When I awoke, I felt a yearning for someone, and uncontrollable urge to be with someone, but when I opened my eyes and saw the mob of women, the yearning left. I suspect seeing more then one person caused the curse to break...<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">Anyway, all of them believe that they alone are my true love. *sigh* So that's the tale.

There are three avatars solely devoted to rice: The Traveller, Myobi, and Daikiniten.\n\nWe are her children. Inari created foxes to watch over the grain and eat the birds and rodents that would destroy the sacred plant. Kitsune are her especial messengers: sacred foxes endowed with the ability to take on human or elvish form.\n\nWerefoxes arose from the Iron Woods, when the great wolf Fenrir dwelt there with his mother. She experimented with various canid animals: jackals, foxes, hyenas... All of us are descended from the great wolf, and therefore from Loki himself. We are accepted by Inari due to our vulpine heritage. Myobu is the avatar of foxes.\n\nAfter a large group of us migrated from Hel's domain to the Plane of Shadow, we took on the characteristics of that plane. Thousands of years of living there made us a distinct sub-species: the shadow-foxes. <b>I<\/b> am the avatar of the shadow-foxes.\n\nInari is an agricultural and racial goddess. She is concerned predominantly with nurturing and growth. She is good, but it is the quiet good of the countryside rather than the formalized good of high society. We don't go on crusades. We don't try to win converts or convince people to change their beliefs. We don't really feel a conflict with \"evil\" beings at all, unless they threaten us directly.\n\nFinally, since rice is a critical component in many economies across the multiverse, she is revered as a goddess of wealth and prosperity as well.<\/span>","word-count":291,"index":333,"from-alternative":"User3"},{"from":"Atreyu the Masked LLama","timestamp":"2007-01-06T04:32:00","value":"*he nuzzles her and relaxes, exhausted from the scene earlier*","word-count":10,"index":334,"from-alternative":"User10"},{"from":"Ms_Elaneous","timestamp":"2007-01-06T04:40:00","value":"\"<b><span style=\"color:navy\">Understood.

The cultivation of it. The products made from it.\n\nShe has countless billions of worshippers spread across the various planes of existance. There are three avatars solely devoted to rice: The Traveller, Myobi, and Daikiniten.\n\nWe are her children. Inari created foxes to watch over the grain and eat the birds and rodents that would destroy the sacred plant. Kitsune are her especial messengers: sacred foxes endowed with the ability to take on human or elvish form.\n\nWerefoxes arose from the Iron Woods, when the great wolf Fenrir dwelt there with his mother. She experimented with various canid animals: jackals, foxes, hyenas... All of us are descended from the great wolf, and therefore from Loki himself. We are accepted by Inari due to our vulpine heritage. Myobu is the avatar of foxes.\n\nAfter a large group of us migrated from Hel's domain to the Plane of Shadow, we took on the characteristics of that plane. Thousands of years of living there made us a distinct sub-species: the shadow-foxes. Fenric is the avatar of the shadow-foxes.\n\nInari is an agricultural and racial goddess. She is concerned predominantly with nurturing and growth. She is good, but it is the quiet good of the countryside rather than the formalized good of high society. We don't go on crusades. We don't try to win converts or convince people to change their beliefs. We don't really feel a conflict with \"evil\" beings at all, unless they threaten us directly.\n\nFinally, since rice is a critical component in many economies across the multiverse, she is revered as a goddess of wealth and prosperity as well.<\/span>\n\nKazuki adds some more specific information\n\n<span style=\"color:royalblue\">Our worship is mostly personal. The sanctuary is open for prayer and meditation as you feel led.\n\nWe have a small ceremony at dawn every day, where the main sacred fires are lit.\n\nWe have a celebration at the full of the moon each month, and a quiet time of prayer at the dark of the moon.\n\nThere are major ceremonies and holidays at the times of rice planting, transplanting, and harvest.\n\nThe fox festival is held at the time when the wild cousins give birth. We feed them a special treat made with rice wrapped in fried bean curds.\n\nOtherwise, we do not hold regular formal ceremonies.<\/span>","word-count":423,"index":1025,"from-alternative":"User3"},{"from":"Exachix","timestamp":"2007-01-11T20:17:00","value":"((and this year my calender tells me when it's a full moon, So i should be up to date =) ))\n\nExachix wraps an arm around Krystal as he listens to Kazuki.","word-count":32,"index":1026,"from-alternative":"User22"},{"from":"Kyrian","timestamp":"2007-01-11T20:17:00","value":"Conrad gives Myobi a small smile.\n\n<span style=\"color:red\">Thank you.<\/span>","word-count":9,"index":1027,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"InaVegt","timestamp":"2007-01-11T20:23:00","value":"<span style=\"color:darkred\">To make it official everyone who uses this offer has to fill in this form, in threefold, and get it signed by himself, a representative of the temple which is authorised by me and a representative of my school which is also authorised by me.

The kingdom was run by the royal council, and they liked it that way.\n\nThe Dark Powers did not. They acquired a werefox lich from the forgotten realms and promised the domain to him if he would kill the king. The lich was no fool, and tricking a fox is never an easy task. He fulfilled the letter of the agreement, but used a powerful spell to block much of the downside of being a lord from happening to him.\n\n800 years passed, the lich was killed by Phoenixineohp and Phoenix, and the domain started to fall apart. Fenric was chosen by the powers to be the next dark lord, and this caused much trouble. Finally, he led a group to the demiplane in an attempt to forestall this unpleasant situation.\n\nWhen Fenric's party arrived at the royal palace, Aesa felt the powerful warping of fate that had gone on there, and she became irritated. Her irritation grew stronger as they neared the throne room.\n\nIn the throne room, the group encountered the shell of the mighty Mundane spell. A number of goblins attacked from the far side of the shell. The group was at a loss for a time when faced with the loss of their powers, with the notable exception of Kenyon and future-Destro whose technological weaponry won the day.\n\nAll during the fight, Aesa stood aside, becoming more and more angry at the dishevelled state of the weave of fate in the room. Seeing that the world itself was on the verge of destruction, she smote the weave with her rod, setting it right. This dismissed the \"Mundane\" spell. Unfortunately, it also forced the chain of lordship to follow through: Fenric was instantly made the next dark lord.\n\nFenric (and everyone else) was facing being trapped forever, when Kenyon finally exclaimed that he though Fenric was supposed to be \"a god or sumthin or other\". Fenric blinked in surprise and embarrassment.\n\nThe solution had been there the whole time, and was trivial: As an avatar, the goddess could manifest up to five instances of Fenric. After a moment's prayer, the goddess manifested a second instance to take the place in Ravenloft. With the party attached to the incarnation of Fenric, everyone was now free to leave as the entrapment only clung to the lord himself. The new manifestation took up his rightful place as Earl of Norlath, and Fenric led the group back home.\n\nSo now: one manifestation of the avatar is in Ravenloft as the dark lord (which is in continuity if you read my character thread nature about the dual nature of the shadow foxes). One is incarnated in Town. Three are available to the goddess for use on the plane of shadows.","word-count":473,"index":1075,"from-alternative":"User7"},{"from":"Fenric","timestamp":"2007-01-11T22:05:00","value":"Exachix hears Krystal's reply\n\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i>I'm in the room, dear.

After 2 full rounds of being grappled, you are sucked in and swallowed whole, taking 4d6 acid damage and 5d6 each of piercing and bludgeoning.

Now and then there are tents, these tents can't be entered as they're indestructible and their entrance is a portal to either another maze plane or a normal plane.

What is needed is a one way to gate to the chaos plane and a soul capable of focusing such energy's, normally a being who can command the energy's like this is a deity, but since your friend is infused with this energy it should be possible to channel it with that soul. I can supply the gate if you wish and focus your friends soul, however this means I must trap it first and then use it as a focus. I can understand you might not be willing to entrust me with this, so if you wish I can teach this to someone you do trust, but that will take a lot of time where I can do it right now and it will be done in no time at all. Now there is a risk however, if I entrap the soul whithout your friends cosent, I will have to destroy it in the process, now I will offcourse not do this, but if your friend has any doubts about this iut might affect the process and be possibly harmfull to the soul. The only way I can promise this will not happen is when I temporarily disable your friends mind and again this will require your trust in me or extra training to a third<\/span><\/i><span style=\"color:darkred\"><span style=\"color:black\">\"<\/span><\/span>","word-count":362,"index":267,"from-alternative":"User20"},{"from":"The_Librarian","timestamp":"2007-01-14T23:52:00","value":"((The_Librarian's player looks around suspiciously and glares at RL. \"Give me an uninterrupted hour, I beg you!\" she cries.

Absolutely everything within the sphere is rendered completely and utterly mundane: No magic, psionics, supernatural or spell-like abilities, divine power, eldritch power, innate abilities, or magic items will function in any way inside the sphere.\n Any creature that depends on magical energy to survive must make a fortitude save DC 30 each round while within the sphere or die instantly. Even if it makes the save, it still takes 10d6 damage and may die anyway.\n Any creature which depends on magic to move will be grounded within the area. This includes flying creatures whose bodies cannot mechanically support flight. Examples include winged humanoids and most dragons.\n Any pre-existing effects are completely suppressed. Depending on the effect, it may or may not resume upon leaving the area of effect (treat as anti-magic shell for \"restartability\" of effects)\n Any creature killed within the sphere goes directly to the appropriate afterlife for its spirit: no contingency, clone, automatic-resurrection, or any other similar magic will take effect.\n The caster must have all spell-slots full and ready. If the caster has psionic abilities, he must have all points available. If any spells have been cast or any points used, the spell simply fails.\n The sphere of mundane-ness gradually contracts at a rate of one-half of an inch per year. Therefore, the sphere takes 2400 years to disappear completely.

Overly cliched, too quiet.\n\nThen, three people, two with wizard's robes, one with a breastplate, appear. One of the wizards begins to limp to find cover, and the other two start running.\n\nA Medium-sized Silver Dragon appears in the same spot that they did. He snarls angrily, and takes to the sky. He flies ahead of the trio easily. It is now obvious that the limping wizard is badly hurt, and the warrior seems a bit roughed up. The dragon seems perfectly fine. He lands in front of them, and yells loudly, <span style=\"color:blue\">\"Your evil reign ends here, triplets! You will no longer experiment, you will no longer cause monstrosities, and you will <i>not <\/i>condemn innocent creatures to death!\" <\/span><span style=\"color:black\">He breathes in deeply, then lunges forward and tears open the limping wizard's robes and skin. Blood flies everywhere, and the man cries out in pain and falls to the ground, bathing in his own red pool. <\/span><span style=\"color:darkgreen\">\"Brother!\" <\/span><span style=\"color:black\">Cries the other wizard. He looks suddenly angry, and begins to cast a spell.<\/span>\n\nThe warrior draws a sword and braces against her shield as the dragon's claw dents it.\n\nThe dragon is hit by a fireball, and screams. <span style=\"color:blue\">\"Dwim and Dwun, you foul, evil creatures! Even if you kill me today, you will be stopped!\" <\/span><span style=\"color:black\">One of the wizards snarls at him and continues casting, while the other continues to bleed and die. The woman does not answer; she merely swings at the dragon and misses. The dragon, whose name is Dragon, growls again. <\/span><span style=\"color:blue\">\"Dwot, you bring a blight upon the world! They were dead once! You brought them back! For this, for the good of the world, you must also die.\" <\/span><span style=\"color:black\">He claws out at the wizard remaining, interrupting a spell and causing long gashes. Dwot swings at Dragon again, leaving an angry red line of blood along his shiny silver-blue scales.<\/span>\n\nThe battle rages on like this, both sides continuing to take hits. It lasts longer and longer as the hated enemies bounce back and forth, back and forth.\n\nFinally, the second wizard is stopped. He gazes down at his bleeding stump that moments before was an arm, and opens his mouth in surprise. Next off is his head, and his body tumbles to the ground, blood spurting.\n\nDwot takes full advantage of the distracted dragon, and swings violently at the already injured animal; he begins to swagger and yells again in pain. <span style=\"color:black\">She is too busy and injured to speak. Both of them panting like dogs, they circle slowly. Then, the warrior charges, and Dragon is slow to react. An already abused wing is cleaved off of Dragon's side, but he doesn't care. He ignores the pain, and fights for what he believes in. Dwot's momentum brings her through, and Dragon raises up a claw and drives it through her back, impaling her and then tossing her up into the air, where she then falls and lays on the ground, quite dead.<\/span>\n\nDragon falls over, having overexerted himself enormously, and having sustained serious injuries. <span style=\"font-size:xx-small\"><span style=\"color:blue\">\"I did it...they're dead...we're all...safe...\" <span style=\"font-size:small\"><span style=\"color:black\">He closes his eyes wearily, as if finally being able to sleep after a very, very long day.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\nThe noble dragon dies, contented, still hoping he has done the world good, and that his friends will live on happily.","word-count":578,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"}]

After 2 full rounds of being grappled, you are sucked in and swallowed whole, taking 4d6 acid damage and 5d6 each of piercing and bludgeoning. The only way to escape is with a DC 25 climb check, which will let you escape from the digestive tract, but you're still grappled.\n\n-Brown diamonds with red dots: Lava geysers. Every time you step in one there's a 25% chance that you take 10d6 fire damage (reflex half).\n\n-Greenish blobs: Acid pools. 3d6 acid damage for every step through them. *\n\n-Grey circles: Normal, boring, 5' diameter boulders.

We have fought to make killing and assaulting of NPCs a criminal offence that actually gets punished. Members of TNPCRG recieve names upon joining, instead of demeaning numbers. (Names include a first name, last name, and middle initial.) We hold meetings just sort of whenever, and all are welcome, be they shopworker, night shift priest, or random thug!<\/div>\nBehind the desk is either Phil O. Williams or his wife Mary H. Williams, depending on the time. They will glady give out informative pamphlets and suchlike.\n\nDuring meetings, the large meeting room is crammed with every sort of person- warforged, therianthropes of every kind imaginable, humans, elves, half-orcs, birds, shadows, dragons, gnomes, moles, wolves, gnolls, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, dopplegangers, giants, demons, devils, centaurs, treants, unicorns, yuan-ti, rakshasa, owlbears, ogres, and gelatinous cubes, just to name a few.

The Temple of Inari XXXV

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Fenric","timestamp":"2007-01-13T08:49:00","value":"You have entered the temple of Inari, in her capacity as the Goddess of Foxes.\n\nYou walk down an elegant white gravel pathway between full-grown pines. Stone lanterns provide a pure white light to the path, while casting elegant shadows among the trees.\n\nAt the end of the pathway, a bright red gate stands. A large fox carved from white alabaster gleams at each side of the gate. As you pass between the foxes and through the gate, you feel the presence of the goddess. Gentle and caring, but mischievous and lighthearted, you are never quite certain what will happen.\n\nPast the exquisite formal gardens, you finally step into the pagoda itself. There, at the end of chamber is a raised dais. There rests a statue of a beautiful werefox woman, flanked by two snow-white celestial foxes. Offerings of rice and incense stand before the statue.\n\nIn a niche off to the right side of the door sits a Fox-Cola vending machine. Next to the coin slot, the sign reads \"10 cp\";.\n\nTo the left side of the door is a magic mirror. This mirror is actually a portal to Trog's Tavern.\n\n<b>Temple Map<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/NewTempleMap.gif\"\/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/TempleUnderground.gif\"\/>\n<\/details>\n\n<b>Temple View<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/Temple.gif\"\/>\n<\/details>\n\n<b>Profile for Inari<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nAlignment: Chaotic Good\nPrimary Domains: Good, Plant, Chaos, Healing\nSecondary Domains: Magic, Sun, Animal, Trickery, Knowledge, Water\nForbidden Domains: Evil, Law, War, Death, Destruction\n\nGoddess of the cultivation and growth of rice, including rice products. This gives her minor coverage for fertility. She is also the racial goddess of foxes, werefoxes, and kitsune.\n\nPriest Granted Powers\n\nRice Paddy: Once per day\nAs Entangle, but the ground changes to knee-deep mud, and instead of creepers, mature rice plants twist and writhe to grapple anything in the area.\n\nSushi Bar: Once per day\nYou create rice, fish, and sake. You can create enough to feed one medium sized creature for each two caster levels.\n\nSummon Celestial Fox: Special\nYou summon an image of Myobi (if you are a priestess) or Myobu (if you are a priest). The fox has HD equal to your level plus your wisdom bonus. In combat, the fox fights the same as a normal fox, but with appropriate bonuses for HD.\n\nCumulative Fox Abilities\n{table=\"Head\"]Priest Level|Times per Day|Special\n1|1|Fight, scout, and Cure Minor Wounds\n3|2|Cure Light Wounds\n5|3|Status\n7|4|Magic Circle Against Evil\n9|4|Cure Serious Wounds[\/table]\n<\/details>\n\n<b>Temple Facilities<\/b>\n\nEverything but the Sanctuary and Garden has Dimensional Lock.

An artifical stream hosts large koi, and a grand cherry tree resides on a picturesque island in the middle of a good sized pond.\n\n- Priest's Quarters: accessed by going down the stairs \"halfway down the sanctuary, to the right\", which leads to a covered pathway (technically under the garden).\n\n- <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=31471\">Summoning chamber<\/a>\n<b>Priests<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n\nHigh Priest: Fenric (PC)\n\nCouncil of Head Priests\n{table]Chairman \/ Head of Services|Exachix NorZilliar (PC)\nHead of Clerics|Atreyu, The Masked Llama (PC)\nHead of Accounts|Valathe (PC, Hoseki)\nHead of Healers|Elya (PC, Earin)|Head of Facilities\nHead of Facilities|Hachiro (NPC)\nSecretary|Anna (PC, seftsirag)[\/table]\nPriests\n\nAramir (PC, Kyrian\/Ares)\nRain (PC)\nAikidu (PC, guest cleric: not a priest of Inari)\nVoxendi (PC, Gezina)\n<\/details>\n\n<b>Knight Defenders of the Faith<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n\nThis is a prestige class developed with the help of Fenric, Earin, Kantur, Planeshifter, Rilik, Exachix, and Psionic Devotee.

The challenger starts in the Red square, the defender starts in the blue square. You can start anywhere in the square.\n\n-Big spikey circular thing in the middle: The Sarlaac pit. Or, for those who want to keep in more medieval, the Maw of Doom. Stepping in any of the squares the sarlaac touches starts a grapple check (Sarlaac has +25). Every turn while grappled, you take piercing and crushing damage, 3d6 each. After 2 full rounds of being grappled, you are sucked in and swallowed whole, taking 4d6 acid damage and 5d6 each of piercing and bludgeoning. The only way to escape is with a DC 25 climb check, which will let you escape from the digestive tract, but you're still grappled.\n\n-Brown diamonds with red dots: Lava geysers. Every time you step in one there's a 25% chance that you take 10d6 fire damage (reflex half).\n\n-Greenish blobs: Acid pools. 3d6 acid damage for every step through them. *\n\n-Grey circles: Normal, boring, 5' diameter boulders.

Miatog's Knowledge Shop

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Miatog","timestamp":"2007-01-15T06:00:00","value":"Miatog walks around the streets looking for a nice place to put up\u2026a door. He decides that in front of an ally would be a good place. He takes out a red potion and throws it to the ground. There, the red liquid makes a large white cloud that quickly disperses; anyone that looks into the cloud would swear to see the word \u2018POOF\u2019. Where the cloud was, there is now a red door. It\u2019s standing up, and seems to lead to no where. Miatog opens the door to make sure that it worked correctly. Sure enough, it leads into another room. <span style=\"color:#cc99ff\">\u201cAnd now I\u2019m open for business.\u201d <\/span>Miatog pulls a sign from his robe and places on top of the door, the sign reads:\n\n <div style=\"text-align: center;\"><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><span style=\"color:#cc99ff\">Miatog\u2019s Knowledge Shop<\/span><\/b><\/div><\/div>\n Inside the shop are three doors and a desk. Behind the desk is a lovely assistant, Rose. Above each door is a sign, they read, Knowledge Bank, Knowledge Trade, and Knowledge Learn.\n\n Rose is always busy writing something down but is more then happy to help a customer. She wears a red dress that covers her modestly, but looks like it could easily come off. She has long blond hair and blue eyes. <span style=\"color:red\">\u201cI also speak kindly in red.\u201d<\/span>\n<b>Knowledge Bank:<\/b>\n The door to the right leads to Knowledge Bank. Inside the bank you find that there\u2019s just enough room for more then one person until you reach the counter. However, it will grow as needed and will become very large for those that dislike small spaces. The teller is wearing a green suit and has a friendly look on his face. <span style=\"color:#339966\">\u201cI speak only in Green.\u201d<\/span>\n\n Here you can open an account where you can store as much knowledge as you want. It can be taken from your mind, or copied. Either way, a long tube will be put on your forehead and you will feel, painless and strange to non psychics, the knowledge leaving you.\n\n <b>Knowledge Trade:<\/b>\n The middle door leads to the Knowledge Trader. In this room you see two chairs setting back to back. The chairs are large and white. The back seems to be made of some kind of stone while the rest of it is wooden with a comfortable red cushion. There is a male assistant here in a white tee shirt and brown shorts. <span style=\"color:#993366\">\u201cI speak in a kool plum color man.\u201d<\/span>\n\n Here when two people sit down in the chairs they think of what they want the other to know and it will be passed on. Like the bank, both parties will feel the knowledge leaving and coming. As far as anyone can see, there are no connections between the two chairs.\n\n <b>Knowledge Learn:<\/b>\n The door to the left will take you to the Learning Room. Here you find a chair just like the one in the Trader room. There is a female assistant here. She\u2019s dressed in a brown business suit and <span style=\"color:blue\">\u201cSpeaks in a firm Blue.\u201d<\/span>\n\n In this room you can tell the assistant what you want to learn about. She\u2019ll then go over to the back wall and work with a computer that nobody but Shop employees can see and interact with. If it\u2019s in there you\u2019ll be directed to sit down and think of what you want kept private. Then you will learn all about that subject and an equal amount of knowledge will be copied from you into the system. It\u2019s made so that what ever you want to keep to yourself will be looked for last. And it will look for anything that\u2019s not in the system that Miatog would like to know about.\n\n If you want to know about how something, like a spell or a \u2018common\u2019 item works, you have very good odds that it\u2019s in here, about a famous person, also good odds. If it\u2019s about someone that Miatog hasn\u2019t heard about before then you\u2019ll be lucky to learn anything on it.","word-count":667,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Lord Sidereal","timestamp":"2007-01-17T17:47:00","value":"Cable walks in, looks at miatog, and his jaw drops. \"Ha, its you!

She looked up at the biggest one that remained unclaimed, completely unintimidated by his glowing, angry red eyes. She didn't much trust dragons of any sort, but a wyvern should be easy enough to keep in line. She snapped the whip at him, wrapping it around the base of his wing so that she could use it as a rope to climb his back. The creature roared as the whip touched him, but Laurin only smiled at his pain. Dragonflesh against dragonflesh, how delightfully ironic. Unseen by mortals, another dragon winced in pain as well, no longer having the strength to roar. Once Laurin was on the wyvern's back, she unwrapped her whip from the creature's wing, but kept it ready.\n\n<span style=\"color:red\">Take me to the forest,<\/span> she commanded with another strike from her whip, and the wyvern took off into the air.","word-count":256,"index":453,"from-alternative":"User24"},{"from":"Bookman","timestamp":"2006-09-06T23:06:00","value":"3M slowly stumbles out of Trog's and then finds his wyvern which is , now that the other 3 have taken a wyvern, the wheezing one.

In front of the floating palace there is a solitary figure. from the distance, it would appear to be an enormous golden bat, its wings outstretched, and beating madly against the wait it is dragging. To anyone who would recognize it, there is a massive scythe clutched tightly in the creature's hand.\nThe underside of the palace centers directly over the arena, centering on the town.

The eidolon told me how to get to it's iceberg, how to get past it's traps, and where to find it.\n\nWhen I found my eidolon, it reached out an icy tendril and took my shape, in a bonding ritual known as the Rimefire Bond.\n\nI know when my Eidolon is in danger, and my eidolon knows if I am in danger, on any plane of existence. This bond cannot be disrupted by magic, and can only be severed if either I or my Eidolon dies.\n\nIn the case of the former, if I return my eidolon to life and place it back on it's iceberg within one year of it's death, it and I reforge that bond. The same is said if I die, but I don't need to be placed on it's iceberg.\n\nThe eidolon's Iceberg is it's natural home, and it was formed centuries ago when it was hurled into the sea in the wake of the destruction of my Goddess Hleid at the hand of her brother Iborighu.\n\nIborighu is the mortal enemy of Hleid, and the followers of either are in a constant state of war with one another. We are perfectly safe on WinterHearth, because not only can no followers of Iborighu teleport in, but the town guard has several paladins, as well as clerics, of Hleid, as well as other frostfell gods, on it.<\/span>\n\nHe sits down and sighs softly.","word-count":282,"index":321,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-08-22T05:08:00","value":"\"I see.

I ask, before any further questioning, from either party, that the precise conditions of Assault be defined to us. I believe all parties are aware of the meaning of the word itself, so discussion on that subject is un-necessary. However, your honour, there are matters of the word which must be attended to.\n\"First, the matter of differing assault from self-defense. In many legal systems, this done by a system of Perceived Threat, meaning if a rational person would be threatened by the actiosn of another, one is justified in defending oneself and has not commited assault, unless one has used excessive force.\n\"The second matter that must be seen to is the threat to the victim and injury to the victim. If a man claims to be victim to the assault of one who cannot feasibly harm him, is this supposed assault a viable case? Does the apparent intent to harm define assault if the ability to harm is lacking? Additionally, if there is no harm done to the victim, are the actions of the defendants still qualified as an assault? If no-one is harmed, is it still a crime?\n\"All of these details must be sorted before any of this questioning will have any bearing on the trial. Otherwise, there is the possibility that you will be trying a different offense than the defense argues against, which are both different offenses than that which the prosecution argues for. Needless to say, such misunderstandings would lead to a wholly invalid trial result, regardless of whether or not the verdict favoured my clients. Only once standards for the law have been placed can we proceed with this trial in a constructive manner with a truly satisfactory resolution.\"<\/span>\nWith another low bow, the skeleton looks to Judge Gwen to hear her answer.","word-count":451,"index":41,"from-alternative":"User12"},{"from":"wxdruid","timestamp":"2006-11-06T23:19:00","value":"<span style=\"color:seagreen\">The Police Station does not have an all inclusive list of laws.\n\nPlease refer to Fishies vs Kord\nGufiPolice vs Rain\nFenric, Krystal, LLama vs Wraith of Balance Trials\nfor further information.\n\nKyrian has the right to hear his case tried in Court. <\/span>","word-count":45,"index":42,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Rainspattered","timestamp":"2006-11-07T01:50:00","value":"<span style=\"color:mediumturquoise\">\"Your honour, as I most clearly stated, I never meant to imply that Kyrian did not have such rights.

However, your honour, several mitigating factors to his crime should be looked into. At first, he was no assaulting Kyrian, he was trying to subdue and restrain a wanted murdered under his duty as an offier of the law. Given Kyrian's divinity and the seriousness of his crimes, Iames didn't use an inappropriate amount of force, and given Kyrian's previous resistance of arrest, did not jump to an unwarranted conclusion. He was acting in his duty to protect the citizens of the town based on solid, reasonable judgements, until the dark got out. The dark takes over Iames judgement, and does not allow him moral judgement in the normal sense; when under the influence of the dark, Iames is essentially criminally insane. His only wrong in this case was letting his dark side out, something he also did for the greater good, when his earlier statement is viewed. So, your honour, I request that when sentencing Iames, you look to his defensive, duty-bound actions early on, noble motives, and the fact of his impared judgement under the influence of the Dark. While Iames assaulted Kyrian, his actions were not of malicious intent, and he only technically commited the crime. When the spirit of offense is taken into question, Iames has not assaulted Kyrian.

To begin with, Lyrak was merely following his deity's will; therefore, to subdue Kyrian so that he may be brough into custody without any undue harm to Kyrian. Now, in the example Kyrian gave, the action advocated by the deity is against the law; killing. In our instance, Iames was advocating for a wanted criminal to be subued with as little harm as possible so that he may be arrested in accordance with the law. Therefore, the action in which Lyrak supported his deity was not illegal, and so it should not be illegal for Lyrak to excersize his religion in a way that would not, under normal circumstances be considered a violation of the law. Additionally, when Kyrian's lack of retaliation was made apparent by others asking for a cessation of violence, Lyrak stopped combat, and only acted further in an attempt to put out fires, thereby reducing damage and saving life. I think it is clear that his intent here was to help and serve the will of his deity, Iames. Since Iames actions were not illegal up until the dark fully took hold of him and he refused to stop when it was suggested, Lyrak, who did stop when requested, only emulated his deity's legal actions, and therefore his actions should be equally legal.<\/span>","word-count":221,"index":217,"from-alternative":"User12"},{"from":"wxdruid","timestamp":"2006-12-01T02:30:00","value":"<span style=\"color:seagreen\">I find Lyrak guilty of assault, he is not a police officer, but I will be lenient due to the fact he stopped his attack.

At this point, I did not know that Kyrian was a god; though I'd been told, I did not fully believe it. I did know that Kyrian was a murder suspect and that he had previously killed Lyrak, so when I saw them both in the building, I moved to sit next to Lyrak, in case Kyrian should try to kill him again. After sitting at Lyrak's table, I heard Kyrian say that Iames was coming, and 'bringing his whores with him,' was the phrasing I believe he used,\" he said, with a short but meaningful glance towards Aerin.\n\n\"I told Lyrak to prepare himself, because I had no idea what to expect from Kyrian, but whatever he did, I expected it to be violent given what I knew of his history. Shortly thereafter, Detective Iames and Officers Verdandi and Hitomi appeared in Hookah Hank's, seemingly via teleportation, and informed Kyrian that both he and Arha were under arrest and that the police were authorized to use force if they did not come quietly. Kyrian responded with a laugh and made no move to surrender.\n\n\"Iames responded to this defiance with some form of magical or psionic effect that seemed to imprison Arha, though Kyrian quickly dispelled it. Arha then disappeared into Kyrian, seeming to simply flow into his body and vanish.\n\n\"At this point, I saw that one of the suspects had escaped and the other seemed likely to either attempt escape himself or fight, given that he had already used magical abilities to resist. At this point I responded by attempting to use a magical device of mine, known as the <i>iron bands of Bilarro<\/i>, on Kyrian.\n\n\"The iron bands are a relatively simple device; they take the form of a small sphere of metal that expands into a set of interlocking iron hoops when thrown at a creature and attempts to ensnare that creature. It does not harm the target; it merely renders him immobile.\n\n\"Kyrian [against all laws of motion,] managed to deflect this mass of iron by firing a single bullet at it, causing it to move off course and miss him. Iames had already responded to the evident refusal to come by firing some form of magical ray at Kyrian. At this point, I'm fairly certain the Dark manifested; Iames' eyes changed color to a bright yellow and he removed his badge before firing his sidearm at Kyrian.\n\n\"At this point, I saw that conventional measures weren't going to affect Kyrian in the slightest. Having little fear of actually managing to kill him, I attempted to distract him by throwing a hookah in his direction, but he seemed not to notice. I then moved in closer so that I could attack him more directly if necessary.\n\n\"I did nothing else until Verdandi moved to attack with her sword. I followed her example, moving behind Kyrian and striking for effect, attempting to disable him as best I could so that he could be taken into custody. I managed to wound him, but he simply healed himself nearly instantly.\n\n\"At this point, Alarra and our honorable judge,\" he continued, casting a sidelong glance at the bench next to him, \"entered the bar. As they walked in, Iames nearly disintegrated me with a missed attack against Kyrian. At this point I demanded surrender, with the same effect as the earlier arrest notice. I then attempted to render Kyrian unconscious with a blow to the back of the head, which completely failed to phase him.\n\n\"After that, El Jaspero and Alarra attempted to reason with Kyrian. I took the opportunity to back off and retrieve my <i>iron bands<\/i>, and did not attack further. After Kyrian agreed to surrender, I set about healing the bar's chef, who had somehow managed to become trapped under a broken table out front despite having been in the back all night.\" [Ah, the joys of broken continuity. \ud83d\ude1b]\n\n\"That should be all of the pertinent details.

Sometimes he gets distracted and ends up going on about various unrelated subjects, such as trout, for a good portion of time. A few things are missed entirely because he isn't proud of them, or feels that no-one needs to know about them. This continues for some time, until...\n <span style=\"color:green\">So, I explained why I disliked the thought of dying, didn't I? I didn't? Well, I'd better go into that.

Let's skip that bit, shall we? It was not very interesting. Had to do a lot of digging. Anyways, I became terribly afraid of my own death. Went with what I knew, decided to become a lich.

Inside, black velvet draped displays showcase dozens of dazzling loose gems, intricate rings, amulets, and earrings. Here and there is peppered slender crystal wands, and stones.\n\nA sign claims that Alarra can craft anything your heart desires and specializes in magically enchanted amulets and rings.\n\nA small woman, with long, curly dark hair, and bright green eyes, her nametag says Rhianne, stands behind the counter ready to sell premade pieces or take specifications for custom orders that Alarra will craft later.\n\n(Do not ask how much things cost. Alarra has no idea. Whatever you pay her, as long as it seems remotely reasonable, is how much it costs.)\n\nThere is a doorway in the back of the room, leading to a stairway. Alarra and El Jaspero live here.\n\nA leopard and lion tend to prowl around the displays, when they're not hanging off Trog's cat tree of course, discouraging any theft. Mik, Thecla, and a Tarrasque have taken up residence here as well.

Whereas a feat enables a character to be better than normal at performing a task (or even to do something that normal characters can't), a flaw restricts a character's capabilities or imposes a penalty of some sort. A player may select up to two flaws when creating a character. After 1st level, a character cannot take on additional flaws unless the DM specifically allows it (for examples of times when doing this might be appropriate, see Character Traits, Chapter 3, Unearthed Arcana). Each flaw a player selects entitles his character to a bonus feat. In other words, when you create a character, if you select two flaws, you can also take two bonus feats beyond those your character would be normally entitled to. Unlike traits , flaws are entirely negative in their impact on a character's capabilities.<\/blockquote>","word-count":155,"index":191,"from-alternative":"User10"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-11-18T08:25:00","value":"<blockquote>After 1st level, a character cannot take on additional flaws unless the DM specifically allows it (for examples of times when doing this might be appropriate, see Character Traits, Chapter 3, Unearthed Arcana).<\/blockquote>\n\nOh hey, what do you know?","word-count":39,"index":192,"from-alternative":"User3"},{"from":"Thri-Kreen_DK","timestamp":"2006-11-18T08:27:00","value":"Notice the \"Unless the DM allows it\" part.\n\nI don't think the DM would allow it in your case, or at least any sane one wouldn't.\nHell, I wouldn't let my PC's anywhere near flaws anyway.\n\nThats a way to make a 1st level character an absolute fighting king.","word-count":49,"index":193,"from-alternative":"User10"},{"from":"Myatar_Panwar","timestamp":"2006-11-18T08:28:00","value":"Heh, good point, the DM's always right.

Who cares that your 2 or 3\/day CLW might be less effective when you're not actually the party healer?\n\nCity Slicker: If you aren't the party tracker or nature expert the skill penalties are meaningless, and the requirement is absolutely trivial to meet with a single multiclass level and many characters wouldn't even need to multiclass or the choice of class wouldn't hurt at all - one level of barbarian for a melee fighter, or taking the Travel domain as a cleric? That's not a penalty at all.\n\nDivine Gesture: As with Aligned Devotion, one level of cleric is all you need. With two domain abilities, turn undead to power Divine feats that don't care about your turning level, heavy armor proficiency, plus the ability to qualify for certain prestige classes is already enough to make a cleric dip attractive for some builds. A free feat on top of that is not necessary, and the penalty is meaningless for someone who isn't focusing on his divine spellcasting class. Heck, for my character I didn't even bother to pick his cleric spells because they'd be so weak as to be worthless at this level.\n\nDomain Devotion: Again, too easy to qualify for with a 1-level dip.\n\nExhausting Rage: Both too easy to qualify for and usually meaningless - unless your combats last unusually long, a barbarian's not going to run out of duration on his rage until the encounter is over anyway.\n\nFoe Specialist: Easy to qualify for without sacrificing anything significant for many builds, the penalty is much too small, and the selection of skills it applies to is nowhere near general enough. Feats that simply give penalties to skill checks have to be very careful to select skills that practically <i>everyone<\/i> will use. Note that the only SRD flaw with skill penalties puts them on Listen and Spot, which may quite frequently determine whether you get to act in a surprise round or not regardless of your build.\n\nForlorn: Plenty of people already think a dip in Sorcerer for True Strike and a few other low-level spells is well worth it for a fighter type. For those people, as well as the many people who consider familiars to be nothing but XP bombs, this is a complete freebie.\n\nLight Sensitivity: The penalty is too small given its situational nature.\n\nLoner: Same as Forlorn.\n\nLoudmouth: Too many types of characters don't care at all about either of the skills penalized.\n\nMagical Overload: Good for a 1-level dip.\n\nMaterial Devotion: Yet another flaw for the 1-level dipper.\n\nMethodical Magical Methods: and another one.\n\nPonderous Spellcaster: and another.\n\nRestricted Sorcery: how many of these are there?\n\nTerrain Specialist: The free Track feat Rangers get at level 1 makes it trivial for someone who has no interest in tracking at all to take this without significantly decreasing their melee fighting ability.","word-count":533,"index":199,"from-alternative":"User4"},{"from":"Thri-Kreen_DK","timestamp":"2006-11-18T10:30:00","value":"I'm not going to have an argument with you about who should\/shouldn't be DM and nor am I trying to debase your power,\nBut for a competion where EL reduction, nor death spells are allowed because they unballance the game because they are too easy to abuse, then why are we allowed epic feats from flaws?

In your case, you have 3 LA, so you need to wait until level 9.\nOnce you reach level 9, you can use this equation: (ECL-1) x 1000 to reduce the LA by one.\nYou have an ECL of 9+1(hd)+3 = 13 at level 9, so you need to spend 12,000 XP there.\n\nAfter that, you need to wait until your class level is 3x LA again (now 6 levels). This means that at level 15, you can reduce again. This time the equation comes out to 17,000.\n\nYou do this again, at level 18 this time, and it comes to 19,000.\n\n12,000+17,000+19,000= 48,000\n\nTherefore:\nYour total XP would be 264,500, and your ECL would be 23.

Do you mean 1st. enchantment = x1; 2nd. enchantment = x.1.5; 3rd and any other enchantment = x2 ?\n\nIs the anywhere a good list of what are and what are not similar and different abilities ? FAQ, sage advice or the like ?\n\nE.g. are saving throw boni multiple similar abilities ? So would a \"Vest of Amiria's Ultimate Resistance\" (+5 insight, +5 luck, +5 sacred, +5 resistance =&gt; +20 on all saving throws) cost only 125.000 gp =&gt; 50.000 + (50.000 x 0.75) + (50.000 x 0.5) + (25.000 x 0.5) ?<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\nNo, it would cost more than that. Here is why:\n\n<blockquote>For items with multiple similar abilities <b>that don\u2019t take up space on a character\u2019s body<\/b> use the following formula: Calculate the price of the single most costly ability, then add 75% of the value of the next most costly ability, plus one-half the value of any other abilities.<\/blockquote>\n\nSo the formula you need is:\n\n<blockquote>For items that do take up a space on a character\u2019s body each additional power not only has no discount but instead has a 50% increase in price.<\/blockquote>\n\nTherefore:\n50,000 + (50,000)(1.5) + (50,000)(1.5) + (25,000)(1.5) = 237,500\n\nAs for similar abilities, when an item takes up space on someone's body it does not matter if they are similar or not, you always use the above formula.","word-count":272,"index":436,"from-alternative":"User3"},{"from":"Mortia De Luna Draco","timestamp":"2006-12-01T15:05:00","value":"Yes, what ever monday in the time your in.

SO you do not have a true seeing effect on you that can be lost, unless the item is lost or time limit spent.\n\nI will concede the battle since I can not affect Amira from this point on. Now I feel safe to ask my final question.\n\nIn PHB under actions, reading a scroll is listed as a STANDARD action, with no modifications or caveats. Spells like SYmpathy (1hr casting) and True ressurection (10min casting) are listed in the SRD as scrolls. My assumption is that they remain 1 std action to read the scroll, since that is what is listed as the required time to read a scroll. It seems like even a quickened scroll would take the 1 standard action to read the scroll, since PHB and SRD list 1 standard action as the time to read a scroll.\n\nThere exist immediate cast spells out there, that if written on a scroll should still take 1 standard action to read. The alternative does not seem correct, but that is my interpretation.","word-count":370,"index":700,"from-alternative":"User19"},{"from":"Amiria","timestamp":"2007-01-05T14:26:00","value":"No, casting a scroll with a quickend spell is a swift action.

However, the casting time of a spell is the time required to activate the same power in an item, regardless of the type of magic item, unless the item description specifically states otherwise.\n\nFrom the Magic Items section, under Activation:\nSpell Completion: This is the activation method for scrolls. A scroll is a spell that is mostly finished. The preparation is done for the caster, so no preparation time is needed beforehand as with normal spellcasting. All that\u2019s left to do is perform the finishing parts of the spellcasting (the final gestures, words, and so on). To use a spell completion item safely, a character must be of high enough level in the right class to cast the spell already. If he can\u2019t already cast the spell, there\u2019s a chance he\u2019ll make a mistake. Activating a spell completion item is a standard action and provokes attacks of opportunity exactly as casting a spell does.\n\nand\nFrom the Magic Items: Scrolls, Staffs, and Wands section, under Wands:\nActivation: Wands use the spell trigger activation method, so casting a spell from a wand is usually a standard action that doesn\u2019t provoke attacks of opportunity. (If the spell being cast, however, has a longer casting time than 1 action, it takes that long to cast the spell from a wand.)\n\nOk. That's a lot of text to absorb. I placed it there so that those of you who are naturally distrustful can check my sources. This argument is rock solid, it's just spread out, so I've compiled it for simplicity.\n\nHere's the relevant text, in logical order. Look for fallacies if you wish; there aren't any.\n1. The casting time of a spell is the time required to activate the same power in an item, regardless of the type of magic item, unless the item description specifically states otherwise.\n2. Spell Completion: This is the activation method for scrolls.\n3. Activating a spell completion item is a standard action and provokes attacks of opportunity exactly as casting a spell does.\n\nOk. There are no spell completion items other than scrolls, so it's safe to say that spell completion items and scrolls are synonymous. It specifically states that activating a spell completion item is a standard action. Therefore, if A(scrolls)=B(spell completion items) and B=C(a standard action to activate), then A=C.\n\nThe problem seems to be the seeming \"contradictions.\" However, it SPECIFICALLY states under wands that \"(If the spell being cast, however, has a longer casting time than 1 action, it takes that long to cast the spell from a wand.)\" It says NOTHING of the sort in the descriptive text for scrolls, which is quite long, so I didn't bother to post it. Check it yourself on the online SRD. The ONLY rule for scrolls EVER mentioned is that they're a standard action. Period.\n\nThat should be enough, but here's more; when you create a wand, staff, etc, you only expend the spell slot when crafting the item once per day that you craft. Even for quite expensive items, this is rarely more than 50 days (which it CAN be, but rarely is). The spell can then be used a number of times. However, when you create a scroll, you expend the spell slot during the crafting for EVERY number of times the spell can be used. If you were to create a scroll of arcane eye, for instance, you'd have to spend the entire 10 minutes casting the spell, which could be interrupted and, thus, the day of crafting wasted. It makes no sense that you'd then have to spend ANOTHER 10 minutes to activate it. On top of that, if it takes more than a single day to create the scroll, you're actually expending MORE spell slots than you're getting in the end. It's a simple investment; pay with money, time, and experience now for ease of use later. That's the primary difference between charged items like wands and staffs and single-use items like scrolls.\n\nTo go into even more detail, the reason potions are more expensive but still always only a standard action is because anyone can use the potion regardless of magical ability; that's what sets them off from the other magic items and why they have different rules.\n\nSo, it seems quite clear that, after exhaustively reading and arguing (with meabolex, actually) about this issue that any scroll, no matter what spell is on it, only takes 1 standard action to activate. It makes sense in-game when you consider the time it takes to craft the scroll; it makes sense out of game when you consider issues of balance and investment; it clearly states it in the rules (but is spread out and, thus, difficult to comprehend, and, to save the word choice for last, it's spell COMPLETION... it should only take a moment to activate... the work's already been done.\n\nIt's just an investment to maximize the use of combat time. It's like paying for a speed weapon; that's a huge money investment to maximize the effectiveness of a full attack action. Similarly, it's like using the feat quickened spell; you're maxmizing the effectiveness of a single round of combat at the expense of a higher level spell slot. A scroll is somewhere inbetween.\n\nAs for quickened scrolls, no. It clearly says that activating a scroll is a standard action. That's it; no alternatives.\n <\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nFrom complete arcane, pg 138\n\n<blockquote>\nUnlike potions, scrolls require magical training (or ability that mimics is) to use properly.\n\n-single use only\n-spell-completion device\n-usable by umd\n-must be physically manipulated in a complex way (held in hand, unrolled, and read)\n-must be in hand to use\n-use provokes AOO<\/blockquote>","word-count":987,"index":706,"from-alternative":"User19"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2007-01-05T20:00:00","value":"Grymmheart, no.\nThis is what I say:\n\n<blockquote> A spell successfully activated from a scroll works exactly like a spell prepared and cast the normal way.<\/blockquote>\n\nNo buts, they work as if they were cast.

But then they can't see each other. Somehow this reminds me of submarine battles ... or rather the battleship game.\n\nIf they use Superior Invisbility (which counters Blindsense, Blindsight, Scent and Tremorsense) then there are some nice scenarios. I have three so far.\n\n1) They need a very high Spot modifier to see each other. But this can be countered by a very high Hide modifier. Since Spot has distance penalties the chance for a successful Hide check are good.\n\n2) They resort to carpet bombing the arena with Mage's Disjunction or area dispel effects. When they win initiative they know that their opponent is still in his starting area and can target it. So winning initiative will probably decide the battle (unless the opponent goes underground during his preperation rounds with Ghostform or another power and so avoids the burst - again this reminds me of submarines).\n\n3) They find some highly specialized way to pinpoint the location of their foe ... like taking a level of Mindbender (telepathy 100 ft.) and the <a href=\"http:\/\/realmshelps.dandello.net\/cgi-bin\/feats.pl?Mindsight,LoM\">Mindsight<\/a> feat.\n\nThis seems quite ridiculous.

This is reinforced by the restriction of blocking Wish, etc. only when they are used specifically concerning the mind of the subject. True, it does go on to say that Scrying and Arcane Eye are also foiled, and Discern Location and possibly some other spells I can't recall atm are also blocked by it, but my impression has always been that the protection against divinations not concerning the mind is limited to those that attempt to locate or observe the target at a distance, not spells that enhance the user's own senses such as See Invisibility, True Seeing, and Arcane Sight.","word-count":167,"index":712,"from-alternative":"User4"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2007-01-11T16:11:00","value":"<b>FIGHTS SEE NEW SCHEDULE BELOW!

The floors are stone. In the dining room there is a large oak table that could sit about 12 people. In the kitchen there is a large fire place almost five feet wide and four feet tall. The kitchen is a mess, there are jars of things all over the place and you have no idea how anyone could find anything in here. Past the kitchen is a small room that seems to be a bedroom. Off of the bedroom there is a bathroom. There is a stair case leading upstairs. Upstairs is split into two rooms, the master bedroom and an empty room, which Lillah has decided to turn into her practice room. There is a stool sitting in the corner, and several holes from daggers in one wall. The master bedroom has a large bed in the middle of the room and a spiral staircase leading up. This staircase leads to a large belfry. This belfry has large glass windows all around it and offers a view of the ocean and the town (not a very good view but a view none the less.)

The OmniShop II

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Sophistemon","timestamp":"2006-12-17T07:22:00","value":"<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><u>The OmniShop<\/u><\/b><\/div><\/div> <div style=\"text-align: center;\"><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>We Sell <u>What<\/u> You Want for the <u>Price<\/u> You Want<\/i><\/div><\/div> <u> Description<\/u>: The OmniShop is a store in which shoppers might procure anything that their hearts desire. If it exists, you can find it in this store. If it exists and it isn\u2019t in the store, it can be found. If it does not exist and can be made, it will be. And the best part is that there are no set prices! One must only pay what they think the purchase is worth, no more and no less.\n <u>Exterior:<\/u> The outside of the OmniShop is that of a massive castle, including parapets and towers, built out of light gray stones. The front door is a large wooden double, capable of being blocked by iron bars that drop down from the stone above it. On either side of the OmniShop proper are attached two smaller (though still very large) buildings built in the same castle-like manner. They have no exterior doors.\n <u>Interior:<\/u> Upon walking through the doors a shopper would come to see a massive room filled with huge floor-to-ceiling shelves stocked with common to moderately uncommon items, all of which are available for purchase. After that they would be astounded by the room itself; the floor made of glistening white-marble tile, the walls of oak so heavily lacquered and polished that they seem to glow with a soft, warm light. The employees, dressed in their smartly-tailored uniforms, rush from place to place cleaning, polishing, and helping customers. Were one to turn right and travel halfway to the front of the store they would see a door leading to a fine-dining restaurant where one would be able to purchase and eat any type of food their bellies can imagine. If one were to follow that same procedure, only going to the left, they would find a door that leads to the OmniShop Inn. Yes, that\u2019s right! The OmniShop now truly does offer anything you want, including food and a good night\u2019s sleep! At the far end of the Omnishop are three counters, two of polished silver with a slightly larger golden one between them. At the left counter sits Gentlebot, Gent\u2019s personal assistant. At the right sits Gongjin, Ekrath\u2019s butler. At the center counter sits The Distinguished Gentleman himself. Behind the center counter are two doors, both inaccessible to the public. The door to the right leads to a staircase that provides access to the upper levels, where the truly rare items are. It is also in the upper levels where The Distinguished Gentleman makes his home. Gent, Gentlebot and Gongjin have keys to this door. The door to the left leads to the basement. Only Gent has access to this door.\n\n <b><u>Personnel:<\/u><\/b>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showpost.php?p=1388305&amp;postcount=164\"><u>The Distinguished Gentleman<\/u><\/a><u>:<\/u> The suave, sophisticated owner, operator and proprietor of the OmniShop. He functions as Master Salesman and, as the employer of the OmniShop\u2019s countless employees, reserves the right to tell them what to do.\n <u>Gentlebot (warforged):<\/u> Quiet, reserved and polite, he is Gent\u2019s right-hand man, a salesman, and possesses the authority to direct the other employees. He is in charge of the store when Gent is away. Due to his programming he refers to all fleshy individuals as \u2018meatbag\u2019. This is not an insult, however, and should not be taken as one.\n <u>Gongjin: (warforged):<\/u> Ekrath\u2019s inorganic butler, Gonjin is a salesman and clerk, taking careful inventories of every item within the walls of the store. He is more outgoing than Gentlebot and does not call people \u2018meatbag\u2019.\n <u>Knutz and Bholtz (steel-plated iron golems):<\/u> These two silent automatons function as The Distinguished Gentleman\u2019s personal bodyguards. They look and function like the Guard Leaders, though they do not share the leader\u2019s connection to the Guard Troopers.\n <u>The OmniShop Guard:<\/u> 100 guards patrol the OmniShop, inside and out, protecting the store, its wares, and its personnel. They are organized into ten groups of ten; the 90 <a href=\"http:\/\/i106.photobucket.com\/albums\/m278\/Sophistemon\/The%20Town\/robo1.gif\">Guard Troopers<\/a> being led, in groups of nine, by one <a href=\"http:\/\/i106.photobucket.com\/albums\/m278\/Sophistemon\/The%20Town\/heavyrobo1.gif\">Guard Leader<\/a> per group. The Troopers are seven feet tall and are armed with massive metal fists and a Gatling gun on their right shoulders. The Guard Leaders stand eight feet tall, have fists wreathed in crackling energy, have more powerful Gatling guns on either shoulder, and possess the ability to speak, though they only do so to issue orders to their squads.\n<u>Employees:<\/u> Dressed in identical gray uniforms, the employees number in the hundreds. It is their duty to keep the OmniShop clean and the customers happy.","word-count":759,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Sophistemon","timestamp":"2006-12-17T07:22:00","value":"Gent sits behind his counter, smiling politely.","word-count":7,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2006-12-17T07:37:00","value":"The Dancing Man randomly (why do I even need to say that word?) does a series of backflips, leaps into the air and tumbles across the air, somehow using it as a solid surface.

Temple of Jonnadiah and Aloysius

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Jonnadiah","timestamp":"2007-01-18T00:28:00","value":"Over the last few weeks somewhere between the Slums and the Beach, a mysterious new construction project has been ongoing. The only thing is, no workers have ever been observed on site. As you approach the site, you notice that the construction has been completed. You now face a large, alabaster cathedral constructed in the gothic style. It towers about 7 stories above your head and is lavished with ornate carvings, gargoyles, steeples and stained glass windows.\n\nDirectly above the towering mahogany doors is a massive stained glass window, about 15 feet in diameter, featuring a yellow thirteen-pointed star intertwined with an Orbitron. The doors are riddled with ornate vine designs, Orbitrons and thirteen-pointed stars. The front wall of the cathedral is covered in text, written in every script known to man (including extra-planar languages). Translated, each says the same thing. \"Return, Bael, your home awaits.\"\n\nAs you enter the cathedral, you step into a massive hall, lined with 3 rows of pews that extend towards a platform with 5 large altars about 200 feet from the door. On the back wall are two large statues that extend to the ceiling (which is about 70 feet above your head). The one on the left is of Jonnadiah and the one on the right Aloysius.\n\nThere are a few NPCs who run in and out, sit and pray. The head of the church is a firey eyed elderly man by the name of Evan. He is generally intolerant of rabble rousers and would use any force necessary to remove someone who was disrespecting the temple. For all intents and purposes, he is an 8th level cleric. ((For now only DarkSetzer or myself should control him, thanks)) Evan's right-hand man, Dwight, is a devout follower of Aloysius and works with Evan to maintain the temple.\n\nThe building itself takes damage as if it were a mundane structure. However, the temple will repair all structural damage within a few seconds of the initial damage. This is a non-magical ability and cannot be stopped by any means, other than Jonnadiah's or Aloysius's will. The door at the foot of the statue of Aloysius is, for all intents and purposes, an interdimensional portal. It can only be entered by Jonnadiah, Aloysius or anyone in their favor. This door cannot be sealed by any means. The altar area also completely repels all magical, psionic, etc powers that attempt to damage, cap, etc them. The rest of the main room of the temple, however, is completely vulnerable to such effects.\n\nThe doors of the temple cannot be affected by anything that attempts to stop people from entering through them by means of foot. All bets are off for people attempting to teleport into the building if it's warded\/sealed. No one but Jonnadiah or Aloysius can teleport onto the platform with the altars.\n\n<span style=\"font-size:large\">\nProfile for Jonnadiah<\/span>\n<b>Alignment:<\/b> Any non-Good\n<b>Portfolio:<\/b> Water, Magic, Alchemy, Travellers, Intellectuals\n<b>Domains:<\/b> Evil, Knowledge, Magic, Retribution and Shadow\n<b>Favored Weapon:<\/b> Staff or Katana\n<b>Holy Symbol:<\/b> A thirteen-pointed star inscribed in a circle.\n<img src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v453\/Jonnadiah\/Triskadecacle.gif\"\/>\n<span style=\"font-size:large\">Profile for Aloysius (Demigod)<\/span>\n<b>Alignment:<\/b> Neutral Evil\n<b>Portfolio:<\/b> Destruction, Magic, Manipulation, Entropy\n<b>Domains:<\/b> Destruction, Pact, Transformation, Time, and Spell\n<b>Favored Weapon:<\/b> Quartertaff\n<b>Holy Symbol:<\/b> The Orbitron (<a href=\"http:\/\/winter.group.shef.ac.uk\/orbitron\/images\/orbitron.jpg\">http:\/\/winter.group.shef.ac.uk\/orbit...s\/orbitron.jpg<\/a>)","word-count":541,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Kyrian","timestamp":"2007-01-18T00:31:00","value":"Kyrian steps into the temple and looks around.\n\n<span style=\"color:navy\">You've got to be kidding.

The aroma of ambrosia will entice any couple to wine and dine away the worries of the world, while our nimble staff will jump to your whims desire. Make a reservation, bring a loved one, and enjoy your evening.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:black\"><span style=\"font-size:xx-small\">Please note (Lykan) that Sneak\u2019s Milk Bar Restaurante was built using many enchantments to prevent damage and destruction.<\/span><\/span>\n\nFrom the outside, you can see an ornate cobblestone drive leading up too a two story building with a domed roof. The perimeter is surrounded by a tall wrought iron fence, with gargoyle topped posts every ten feet. Midway up the drive to the building, a stone white fountain with four figurines stand on top. Looking at a glance, you would recognize a stunnigly handsome male, an equally beautiful female, a suave sophisticated cat, and an unmistakeable Llama. If you examine the details more closely, you would see that these are stone replicas of El Jaspero, Alarra, Sneak, and Atreyu. Each the sculptures holds a goblet, out of which water drops flowingly into a basin. The front of the building features red tile leading up to two Mahogany French doors with stained glass in them. On the left door, you can make out the figurine of the Kender in various shades of green glass, with his\/her hand out greeting you to come in. On the right door, in purple glass, Supagoof holds his arms in a <i>please enter this way<\/i> fashion.\n\n<span style=\"color:black\"><b>Coat Check\/ Valet<\/b><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:black\">Start your evening by handing your coats to NPC <b><i>Chester Checkets<\/i><\/b> This friendly young chap is here to store and hold coats\/valuables so diners can fully enjoy the experience.

On the right side of the stage, a tall bronze statue of Mortia De Luna Draco stands, with his left arms outstretched. On the left side of the stage, an equally tall statue of Lykan stands, with his right arms outstretched. Both outstretched hands meet at the fingertips. The stage is set for an orchestra on the right side, with a short barrier in front of each chair. Upon the barrier, the signature Trademark of SMBR is painted. On the left side of the stage, facing the audience, are both a microphone and a conductors stand. In front of the stage, open tables are spread out surrounding the dance floor. The center of the room you will find a fire pit for warmth, enchanted to warm but not burn. Along the walls, patrons can obtain a more secluded booth with views to the stage, but privacy of conversation. Above the outer rim of the booths, a balcony with tables is set. The balcony is the only spot in the restaurant with carpeting. The enchanted ceiling appears to reflect the outside sky, all with the protection that a roof provides. Rain drops will appear to dissolve over your head.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:black\"><b>Reservations<\/b> (Please label your table at the beginning of your post) <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:black\">Tables 1 through 10 \u2013 Around the dance floor and near the fire pit, these are the open tables that may seat from 2 to 6 patrons.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:black\">Booths 11 through 20 \u2013 These are the booths surrounding the outer walls of the restaurante.

The foreman walk over to him and hands him a set of keys, and a parchment.\n\n<span style=\"color:blue\">Wow, this is amazing! I'm glad I hired you guys, you really are the best. I didn't even ask for the fountain, but I can see why you put it in. It really adds to the ambiance surrounding the building.<\/span> Supagoof says, looking over the new structure.\n\nFrom the outside, you can see an ornate cobblestone drive leading up too a two story building with a domed roof. The perimeter is surrounded by a tall wrought iron fence, with gargoyle topped posts every ten feet. Midway up the drive to the building, a stone white fountain with four figurines stand on top. Looking at a glance, you would recognize a stunnigly handsome male, an equally beautiful female, a suave sophisticated cat, and an unmistakeable Llama. If you examine the details more closely, you would see that these are stone replicas of El Jaspero, Alarra, Sneak, and Atreyu. Each the sculptures holds a goblet, out of which water drops flowingly into a basin. The front of the building features red tile leading up to two Mahogany French doors with stained glass in them. On the left door, you can make out the figurine of the Kender in various shades of green glass, with his\/her hand out greeting you to come in. On the right door, in purple glass, Supagoof holds his arms in a <i>please enter this way<\/i> fashion.\n\nSupagoof and the Foreman step inside.\n\n((For those who have made reservations, <b>ALL YOU BASE BELONG TO US, <\/b>just kidding. Please know that no harm nor disruption of storyline will fall upon your character from the Kender and I.))\n\nAfter some time, the two step back out. Supagoof is looking over the parchment the Foreman gave him. <span style=\"color:blue\">Excellent, excellent, everything inside seems to be set. I just need to send the message my enchanter friends to come and set the tone, so to speak. Looks like everything came as you quoted...but what's this charge down here for extra troll work?<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:red\">Well, though we appreciated the help Kender provided yesterday, the goblins really enjoyed not having to lug around a ladder to get up higher, the trolls however became a bit sick, so we had to hire a few more to keep the project on schedule.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">I see, you sure it wasn't the trolls staring at the beautiful Elf serving coffee and cookies that prevented them from working?<\/span> Supagoof says with a raised eyebrow.\n\n<span style=\"color:red\">Yeah, that, well I could show you the vomit, but I don't think we need to go there. Anyway, the distraction is why I had the dwarves carve out the fountain. I figured if the crew was going to focus on something, it should be the figures on top, not the lady or dog or whatever that was serving coffee...<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">Okay, I'll give you that. Though I'm not certain El Jaspero would like to hear that Alarra was used to distract the men back into work.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:red\"><span style=\"font-size:xx-small\">Actually, the men were looking more at the pirate guy...<\/span>Well, if you're satisfied, we'll take our leave and our pay. Be sure to recommend us to your friends.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">Certainly, one sec.<\/span> Supagoof reaches into his bag of holding and pulls out a large bag of gold, opens it, and adds a few more from his bag of holding, before handing it to the Foreman. He also hand the Foreman a few coins on the side. <span style=\"color:blue\">Here you are, with the extra amount for the extra trolls. Oh, and this is for your men to go have a drink at Trog's on behalf of Kender and I.<\/span>\n\nThe foreman takes the gold, and nodding thanks to Supagoof, turns to his crew waiting by the wagons. <span style=\"color:red\">Well, we're all done here boys. Let's go have a drink!<\/span> he souts with a cheer. The men rejoice as well, and load up into the wagon train and ride off.\n\nSupagoof pulls a piece of parchment out of his bag, writes a note upon it, then folds it into a crane. He taps it with his wand, and it whisks off. Meanwhile, he wanders around, looking at the majestry of the new building.","word-count":722,"index":20,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Lord Iames Osari","timestamp":"2006-11-03T16:20:00","value":"((Give Iames, Aerin, and Vera three reservations, if it's not too late))","word-count":12,"index":21,"from-alternative":"User13"},{"from":"Supagoof","timestamp":"2006-11-03T16:26:00","value":"((Okay, just to confirm, I have reservations for....\n\nGwen\nKyrian + 1\nFenric &amp; Myobi\nKrystal &amp; Exachix\nHawkeye &amp; Alex\nDancing Man\nEl Jaspero &amp; Alarra\nMyst\nMik &amp; Thecla\nLibrarian + 2\nClix\nAtreyu\nIames, Aerin, &amp; Vera\nAres\nVal\nMalmagor\nCemlo &amp; Olmec\nGez &amp; Karson\nKenyon\nDestro_Yersul\n\nAlas, my weekend is (mostly) away from the boards as well, helping a friend move, so the reservations are for Monday.\n\nOf course you're on the fountain Alarra. \ud83d\ude01 The Kender and I appreciate blind investments.

Mist Spire [Aesa's Plane]

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2007-01-15T21:10:00","value":"Tucked away in the corner of the astral plane there is demiplane. This demiplane is Aesa's planar realm.\nThough small, it contains a variety of terrain. There is a small wood, a lake covered with mist, foothills and the small mountain on which her tower has been built. A path leads up the mountain to Aesa's tower.\nThe realm is obviously real, but something about it seems insubstantial and not quite there. The feeling that you will simply wake up from a dream, or that you will pass through the ground, is easily ignored or forgotten, but never overcome. Its quite a pervasive and insistant sensation.\nStorms and lightning continually flicker in the background, and a thin mist coils about the surface of the entire plane, adding to its surreal quality. The plane maintains a constant, cool breeze and slightly chilly temperature.\nAnyone venturing here who has earned Aesa's ire or comes in an unwelcome fashion may find that the lightning is not just in the background, and that the mist is more than just a whispy thing around their feet.\nThe tower itself is fairly small, but not crampt. The first floor contains a desk, a large number of chairs around a table, a fireplace, and is in general a 'welcome' area.\nThe second floor is a small but comprehensive library.\nThe third floor is Aesa's private chambes. Enter at your own risk.\nThe only NPC on the plane is Libida, the succubus whom Aesa summoned and bound to her service.\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i62.photobucket.com\/albums\/h107\/sjunderw\/libida.png\"\/>","word-count":254,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2007-01-15T21:12:00","value":"A portal opens, and Aesa enters her plane for the first time.

All manner of forest life once thrived amongst the trees and between the twelve streams that originate in the mountains towering above.\n\nDespite this, the pristine valley had always been a strange place. A place of no magic. Lore does not speak of why this valley is without the touch of the supernatural, but it is all the same. Dryads do not inhabit its trees. Nyades do not inhabit its wells.\n\nIt is a hole in the magic of the Realm. But this never diminished its beauty.\n\nUntil now.\n\nIn the middle of the valley there is a dark blot, a cancerous ulcer on the face of the land. The ground here is dry and cracked. The trees dead and withered. No creature native to the wood that draws breath dares to near this ugly blemish that had appeared only days before. A nebulous feeling of ill ease hangs over the whole of the valley now.\n\nIn the centre of the blot a great crevice has been carved into the living stone.
