OOC Thread for Warcraft D20 PbP - My life for the Horde... (Calling Verbatim)

[Rikandur Azebol]

Yes, well... Seeing that what I wanted to play and what was available, I figured this might make for an interesting story. Nothing like an aspiring Horde Assassin who is also a half breed to make you a bit jumpy, eh?

Heh ... You have a point. Now if You manage to convice goblin that silent weapons are better than loud and exploding ones, Tinkers in the squad would happily make gatling crossbow for You. And exploding bolts ...

Tonguez, soYour most unusual goblin want to learn about power of future ? Save up 2000 gp and You will have Dragon Gun. A real firethrower ...
I can see that our Tinkers will have friendly arguments with Your Sorcerer, who's way is better.

Groog:"Bah, You are sticking with the antics of the past, move forward my friend, magic is good for luring demons only."

Tempus_14, interesting theory. But goblinstend to stick their long noses in every opportunity to get money. Groog need a lot of cash for his small needs. And did Your Troll ever considered hisother talents ? Trolls are famous for their cooking talents, I doubt thatany other race created so many recipes on meat preparation. In jungle it is cruicial, before food rots ... and all Trolls are famous fortheir natural talent to poetry. So don't call Yourown savages, just because other races think so.

And Groog could help witch this exploding bomb-trap, if Your hero would be that nice and help him in getting funds for serious projects. I heard that murlock sausages are rare delicacy.

Some interesting ideas. I had at good laugh at this:

Nothing like an aspiring Horde Assassin who is also a half breed to make you a bit jumpy, eh?

Reading the thread, particularly some of the little ic bits, I find myself tempted to play 'the straight guy'.

[bq]Background snippet: Ulum'ak was at the Battle of Two Rivers as a spear carrier. He was at the Battle of Half Hill as well. As were many others. What marks Ulum'ak out was that he survived both those disasters. Twice he watched the Horde forces throw away numerical and tactical advantage and spectacularly self distruct. Again and again he saw Horde warriors drawn out of formation by tempting targets, only to be cut off and slaughtered. He saw Horde bands fighting amoung themselves. He saw huge mobs of Horde warriors repeatedly and pointless throw themselves at coordinated formations of Alliance archers and spearmen, who casually cut the howling warriors appart. And at Half Hill he saw a troll eat a quarter of their Tinkers cos he missed breakfast. Personal prowess may make for a great warrior, Ulum'ak acknowledges, but it doesn't win battles in the face of monumental stupidity.

The experience marked Ulum'ak. Two nights after Half Hill, Ulmat quietly slit the throat of the hungry troll as the stupid beast lay in a drunken stupor. And since then he has doggedly dedicated himself to mastery of the art of war. One day, he dreams, he will gather to him those that, like him have grown tired of the chaos and stupidity. He will forge them into a mighty army. And he will lead them to victory.

If I can just live long enough, he usually finds himself concluding with a shrug.[/bq]

Of course, this might work so well if everyone else likes chaos and stupidity :\

Well I did imagine my orc shaman-type fellow to be more inclined to organisation and tradition, I'll work something out for his history eventually but for the time being I have a good idea of what his attitude would be like. Perhaps I could make him a Tauren? A spiritwalker or something like that. I'll think about it, but ideas and stuff are welcome, since spellcasters seem to be the minority here.

yum! Snurk make profit from sausages and split with goblin. Profit make better weapons

You give mi more ideas about my Gobbo.

And Doghead's display of creativity make me little jealous.

Well, let me see how we are imagining our team (please, feel free to correct my mistakes) :

Doghead, chosed leader type of orc.
Ulum'ak is person of strong character, and gifted with tacticial talent that he have to polish in struggles to come. He is different from common Orcs the same way the Thrall is, Ulum'ak have a vision.
He could be leader of our pack, if he manage to control others somehow.


Festy_Dog chosed shaman type guy. Another strong orc, albeit his strength lies somewhere else than Ulum'ak's. Where Ulum'ak is a warleader, Festy's guy could be spiritual leader !
And if You wish take Tauren, it would be funny to see that biggest and meanest looking guy in the team is the least dangerous one in comparision with stuff produced by smallest guys ... Especially our Sorcerer !


I chosed unusual,from my point of view, goblin Tinker. He not only is Lawful ... he also seem being "less" crazy than other goblins. Groog Profit is type of guy who You could trust. You betray him, he will hunt You down even in Hell. He promised You something ... then he will do it no matter the cost. He is Your friend ? You may bet that Your gun will never explode due to internal malfunctions. But when he start foaming about his BIG projects ... better agree on everything he will say. Otherwise he will show You example, and Your nerves don't need to see all this explodable stuff in one place ... don't You think so ? Yep,You just figured out that this particular goblin is as insane as other ones. But in dangerous way, he have a plan. And he love military toys.

Bobitron didn't decided yet ... soI will leave it all up to him.

Tonguezguy is atomic bomb on small green legs, and with wide goblin grin. Goblin crazy enough to take path of Sorcery ... and to love danger. It won't be boring, that's for sure.

LeifVignirsson took hard road of subtle art of quiet slitting of throats. His Half-human aspiring Assassin will give another stabilizing factor to Our warband. Think ... if three orcs, including those tainted by human blood, are enough to stop two trolls and at least two dangerous goblins from creating insane mayhem ? Time will tell.

tempus_14 took Troll Hunter, from the good old times of Second War, when Orcs were still bloodthirsty savages laughig loudly on any mention of honor or respect to something other than raw strength. Smurk have taste for good meat, and is simple straighfoward person. So what that he cooks his slain enemies ? "Why waste good meat ?"

Vodam and tempus_14 are one person or I'm seriously mistaken ?

Maybe we could help our DM and create common background for our Chars ? Someone earlier threwin idea of mercenary warband. What role You see Your character in such warband ? Boss ? Tech crew ? Artillery ? Scout ? Tips and ideas ?

Bobitron didn't decided yet ... soI will leave it all up to him.

I'm going to stick with my original concept of a Goblin Tinker, tossing grenades and a little bit gunpowder crazy.

We haven't heard about how many players Evil Ujio wants, so keep in mind, folks, there might be some of the interested players who don't make the cut. I might drop out if Evil Ujio wants to slim down the party, I'm involved in plenty of stuff already and want to give other players a chance.

The first post says two to five players.

Thanks. Maybe I should play a blind Goblin Tinker...

 

[tempus_14]

Vodam and tempus_14 are one person or I'm seriously mistaken ?

First of all Vodam and I are not the same person i'm just a noob guy from a small canadian town who stumbled upon a great D&D site,thanks Pat where ever you are (if you read this).

tempus_14 took Troll Hunter, from the good old times of Second War, when Orcs were still bloodthirsty savages laughig loudly on any mention of honor or respect to something other than raw strength. Smurk have taste for good meat, and is simple straighfoward person. So what that he cooks his slain enemies ? "Why waste good meat ?"

And second snurk does have of a sense of honor, but only when it applies to goblin, orcs, other trolls, tauren, and any other members of the horde, he thinks all other creatures are incapable of honor, espescially humans, since they killed his family, but now his family is the darkspear tribe and he has learned to tolerate half breeds (no offense), and he does appreciate vodoo wizardry and has even thought of dabbling a little in it himself, but things happen and he became a hunter (albeit a little insane......from the dead family and all.....). He supports and respects his tribe leader and looks up to Thrall almost to a point of admiration(but he won't admit it). He knows not to charge and when to throw spears, he will keep his orders, he is not battle Hungry,(exept for those tasty treats they call murlocs, mmm mmm mmm) Did I also mention he loves the wilderness, that he would rather die than be cooped up in a room smaller than 12' by 12' all day, he'd go even more nuts than he already is. And he does respect honor. I see Snurk as stealth, artillery, both, scout and trapper Other than that he about fits the discription

just thought i'd clear that up

Could someone send me the ifno I need to make this character, I need the troll stats and the hunter class though if someone has the warcraft books on adobe reader could they send them to me at bloodraven_14 @ hotmail.com (without the spaces), this way i can make my character
thanks in advance

And one more thing Rikandur Azebol wanted ideas on how to make our backgrounds similar i have a few ideas
1-we all come from the same village
2-we are all part of a same strike team, enlisted by the warchief himself
3-both ideas
4-we are all part of a team of some kind (other than the horde)
And thats it for now , sorry about the long many idea post

 

[LeifVignirsson]

Well, with only 2-5 people that can play, I have no problem in sitting on a waiting list and give you all some time to hammer out your things... BEsides, when I come in, I might just be an assassin already, without any waiting
