Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spider_Jerusalem" data-source="post: 275296" data-attributes="member: 5507">If you can find and kill Milo, then sure, it's all yours. But then again... Tymora does have a soft spot for that little guy, so who knows what sort of horrific holy venegeance would occur. To tell you the truth, I find myself slipping to past tense quite often and have to rewrite a whole paragraph. I think the reasons for using the present was attempting to get you to actually travel with the characters - as if you were seeing a film for the first time - you aren't sure were this is going. And plus, some of first person viewpoints (like Torious' first death) had to be written present tense, and I didn't want the story to fracture to much. But I'm not entirely sure - I'm hoping it's working. Anyone else finding problems with the present usage? I doubt I'm going to change at this point in the story hour, but it would be useful to know what aspects of it are annoying.  And yeah, of course you can steal the idea of Tymora's ring. Although bear in mind (according to legend), only creatures destined to be a Chosen will actually have one fall into their possession. He's an NPC. Milo likes him. Thalin puts up with him. Torious wants to feed him into the Abyss. He's something of a reoccuring character, truth be told.And no, I'm not using the supplements, reason being, a great deal of the area leaders and characters are changed around (you'll soon see why). Idea's are poached and warped, of course, but no set adventures have been used, even in the slightest. I hope your right Miho, it seems you prove this point all by yourself! One of the things I wanted to achieve with this Story Hour was to make every magic item interesting in someway ("With great power, comes great responsibility") ... the magic items themselves have a few plot-hooks because of their histories, so its all "ripples", as PirateCat would say.Thanks again for all the comments... and just who is the woman in red?</blockquote>
