George holds his words until more thought. Raiyek, it's getting impatient

Mal Malenkirk · Jan 3, 2012

-''It's time you develop judgement of your own. We are talking about end of the world stuff here.''

OOC:

Hope everyone had ahappy holidays!

Velmont · Jan 4, 2012

"My dwarven friend is right. The gods might be all powerful, but if they have given you free will, it is to use it." tells Raiyek.

"Free will..." the envoy ponder a moment on these words. "That's interesting concept. But I like HIM. HE likes me. So if I decide to go against his judgement, it must be for a good reason. Saving his creation sounds a good one and you are talking about the end of the world. But how will it happen and what make you think going to the north will make a change in that faith?"

This realm is in danger; the lands, the seas, the skies. The skein that separates the worlds is fraying. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! Incarnation goes on in detail.

OOC:

Arcana knowledge to make clear how boned we will be: Crit!

Nebten · Jan 4, 2012

As the tension builds, Dane starts to look around in the water and the shores beyond just in case negotiations become . . . difficult.

Mal Malenkirk · Jan 10, 2012

OOC:

It feels like there a few unused aid lying around based on Velmont's recap. I'll use them all if they exist.

Hadrak falls back on a classic argument to win his case...

-''Please! Pretty, pretty please! Let us save the world with your boat!''

OOC:

Crap, double roll. Oh, and crap first roll!

Velmont · Jan 10, 2012

She dive into the water and come out in front of the boat. "I think all you try to do is to turn me against HIM. You want to pass harmlessly and that I will suffer from HIS wrath. Your story is made up, HE would not let this world be destroyed. You are no better than the others. And your boat will from now only go toward the bottom of the sea, just like you."

Suddenly, four creature, humanoid that seems to be crossbreed with some kind of shark, raise from the water and surround the ship, all carrying rusted harpoon. The envoy raise her hands and a blast of light strike Sigarr and seems to be blinded by it. He trip and fall into the water.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Failure at the last time... if it was the second roll, it would have been a success. And the roll was too low for any help to turn that failure into success.

So start of the combat.[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=OOC]By the way, you can edit the map, so if you move, or forced move a monster, you can reflect it on the map.[/SBLOCK]

Nebten · Jan 10, 2012

OOC:

Is there anyway we can get the boat moving forward again?

Velmont · Jan 10, 2012

OOC:

The boat travel with the sail, but there is no wind. There is paddle you can use, but that mean you can't have a shield and a weapon in your hand while you paddle, and the boat will move 1 square forward or backward or rotate 90 degree for each move action spent.
