Just watched Matrix 3... that is all I can say... :-(

Must sleep now- but I have no EN world or IM during the day... and actually I have no IM screen names, but for Liz's... so I will talk via e-mail tomorrow and maybe we get some more stuff done :) nighty-night for me now though :)

I'm skipping out on school today-- have 2 exams tomorrow and my class tonight is absolutely worthless.

Feel free to email all you want! I'll be sitting around my desk all day!
 

On Portals...

Okay... so-- the portals...

(1) We know that the bad guys use them.

(2) We know that the ninjas used them.

(3) We know that they were not properly cleansed back in the day.

(4) BUT! We know that they can inhance the Bluemages teleportation abilities without actually utilizing the portal.
This could be a very useful tool, indeed...
Justice is doing all the research she can about the portals, though.

Hopefully Fr. Dorn will have something helpful to say... I've found that if we fight with the practice swords he remains lucid for short periods of time... no matter how much he kicks my butt... I'm sure it will be a humbling experience.
 

The Isle of Mourning..

Indeed, we MUST get to the Isle of Mouring...

It is way up there on the list of things that we are going to do. Once Oceanus is ours, that is our next stop... not only because it is closests... but, because the statue of the Amistacia gives me the odd feeling something is there... call it a hunch...
 

Yeah--Matrix 3 was even worse than Matrix 2. It's so bad, it tarnishes the memory of the Matrix (1).

Also, in game terms Bluemage = Wizard. Redmage = Sorcerer. Whitemage = Cleric.

The gang from the tower of the Red is mostly redmages. Randall and a few others are Bluemages.

I'd reccomend scrying at the Tower of the Red, Apectan Cathedral, Army Barracks, City Watch, Amastacian Temple, and Navy Base, as well as various locations along the docks.
The Tower of the Red is in ruins. The stepped pyramid that formed the central tower has had the red stone stripped from the ancient brick. The four surrounding towers have fallen, and laborers who at least appear to be elven, driven by hulking draconids, move the stone to somewhere else in the city. You see several new kinds of draconids...as well as a far larger gangs of undead than before. The undead seem restrained, as they do not appear to be feasting upon the slaves. In fact, they seem to be working side by side.

The Apectan Cathedral still stands. All of the statuary, and any markings identifying it as a church of the light have been stripped from it's surface. A huge block of basalt, easily as large as the statue of the centurion king, stands in front of the church, and workers appear to be carving something out of the black stone. You're not sure what.

The Army barracks are abandoned. The walls have been demolished, the stone then carried elsewhere. You see a few elven squatters hiding in the abandoned buildings. Even as you watch, a squad of draconids enters, grabs half of them, and carries them towards the center of the city.

The City watch is full of humanoids, once more mostly elves. There are a few draconids guarding the place, but the cells seem to be used as a kind of holding pen. Every once in a while, a few more of the elves are taken out of the cells, only to be replaced by other, captured townsfolk. None taken out return (that you can see).

The amastacian temple has also been stripped of its statuary, markings. Workers of varying races, driven by a draconid, gather on scaffolding built up around the welcoming statue of the Amastacia. They are reshaping the statue somehow, but you are unsure what the result will be.

The navy base has been demolished. Stone stripped and used for the wall around the city, you'd guess. Any armaments therein have been moved elsewhere, but you have not seen where.

The docks have been rebuilt. Draconids now operate the great pulleys, sometimes driving elven slaves. Sleek-hulled draconid ships rise and fall along with more "normal" ships. The great Bone Ship still sits in the bay, far too large to be brought to the docks.
 

Nazis!!!

Hmmm... the Evil Dragon people are vicious undead nazis cleansing Oceanus of all the elves left over... not cool at all.
In fact, I would go so far as it say that it is absolutely deranged and sick.

Kennon, how common is slavery in our world-- or does it exist at all?

... also-- do the vicious undead in Oceanus speak with something that could be considered a ridiculous german accent???

I don't like the theory about the germans, because that makes Oceanus France. France! And if we come to save them, that makes us the Americans, and who wants to be american for crying out loud?

Can we analogize with something like the Great Schism of the East and West, or how about the Hundred Years War? Yeah, something like that...
 

hard choices require hard people to make them

Kat has asked me to lead. i never said Archon didn't want to lead, he just didn't think you guys wanted him to. if in fact he is asked in game, then he will take on the responsibility. in fact a part of him does want to lead because he doesn't want Justice, L'Aurel or Xath to have to make decisions that may lead to the deaths of soliders, the innocent or friends. they are too young and such a burden will kill a small part of them. it will dampen the light that shines so brightly within them. Archonus is willing to abandon that possible light within himself so that we as the Army of the Phoenix may lead the world into a brighter future, yet he would ask the same of no one. he sees the group struggling but says nothing. Archon has been silent too long. and if you let him lead you, you'll be giving him the trust and the possibility of redemption that he has always sought
think about it.

I e-mailed everybody. Please read it. Please respond to it. Please be shiny, happy people.

I have spent much of the day today with a pounding headache, and mild nausea, I'm guessing because of the additional stress of trying to hold a group of friends that I care a great deal about together.

*weak, tired, headbutt o' love*
