Elysium Squad OOC

[engrishonly]

Just want to say I'll be out the next couple days at the in-laws. Haven't had time to tinker, so I'll just, um, borrow the info in the Enigmatica info thread so that I can work on a background during my down-time.

I should have the final stuff posted Friday or Saturday.

To top it off, he took the "Hey, let's get the glowing guy" feat (Or self ferie fire, depending on who you ask). I'm pretty useless.

True, but NoL can be extinguished at will and reactivated again as a free action. So not as useless as you would have everyone believe.

Comunication issues... are not the pious often inspired by visions from their lord?

True. But it is often not very reliable to trust that one's deity understands the need for communication in the same terms as people. Where people might want to call for reinforcements or send a message home updating the troops ... a deity might see that as a worthy chalenge to continue alone! Of course, there is always the chance that the deity could send in a guardinal when not looking, too. It can go either way.

"What of the inocents in the area, is there a plan to help them?"

The Alliance of Fenneress and the Confederacy of Tongra have a longstanding policy that those who desire to free themselves of the oppressive forces within Quehalost will be accepted and reintegrated elsewhere in the land - provided they come unarmed and drained of any powers/spells they might have access to - once they cross the border. They are picked up by a border patrol and deprogrammed. Then, they are wisked far away from the evils of the land so that temptation to evil does not linger. However, evil has grown so strong in that land that many who live there cannot remember the time when evil was merely growing and not dominant. Many elves do not even remember that time any more. As the evil has taken a strong grasp over the land, many have learned to adapt to the evil. Many who are left would not even think about being anywhere else except in the evil land. Those who are reached and see the light often stay because they know that they are one of the few forces working for a cause other than evil. They know that if they leave, evil will go unchecked. Thus, there are not many true innocents anymore. There are willing participants on both sides. But innocents, people desiring to be redeemed, and those who tire of the struggle may come through the border unarmed and be saved.

"Why me? I am but a humble servant, sharing the generosity of Pelor's life giving light with those I can. Surely you need real soldiers and warriors, not a simple wanderer."

You have answered this question by asking your own first question. Glammerdell would reply in a true priestly form, "Look around - most of the others have focused on the destruction of the vileness, which is a worthy cause indeed and ultimately a very nessary goal. It is the party's main objective, really. But it takes a simple monk who has sworn off material gain to be concerned about innocents and perhaps even redemption of the vile themselves. Pelor's light can be a crushing force against the wicked, but Pelor's light can be a beacon of hope into the darkness. Both uses of Pelor's gifts will be useful on this quest."



Engrishonly - thanks for the update. Have fun with the family and see you on the other side of Thanksgiving then.

I know, I had another character who actualy had the ability to farie fire herself, it just seems like an odd side effect.

And yes, he doesn't walk around glowing, that would be kind of presumtious.

I'll try to tweek the sheet tonight.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

On a side note to all:

Over the course of the evening (now that I have had my fill of Football and the PbP games are understandable slow) ... I will be placing at least two new additions to the World Info thread on active organizations in the land. Again, these posts are not necessary reading, but if you have a speare moment and you care to read them, thay are there.

ALSO, and this is significant. Final Character sheets are due by SAT (background included!). Anyone wishing to play in the game must have a character sheet approved by then. The game will start on Monday.

And ... For those who have sheets done for a while now, I think you for your patience. For those of you working on papers and stuff I hope things are going well. For those of you spending time with family, enjoy!

 

[JonnyFive]
