The All Falls Away

I agree. Go on with the story. It is too good of a story to hold back.

High Praise from someone who is destened to touch the lips of gods. I doubt what spews forth from my mouth can even compare.

I hope you like the first real instalment as much as you liked the fake stuff.

Careful though, Darklone may think you don't like his feet.

I agree!

The "I"s have it. You now have the very first offical update! And who says peer preasure isn't a good thing?

 

[Darklone]

praise or pressure?

Nice start. I always like if players bash each other in the beginning! Makes for a healthy relationship lateron.

Just remembering some movie I saw a while ago. The "bully" intercepted some kid on the way to school. He gave him three choices, the shoe thing, some form of punching or kicking, and giving up his lunch money. He told him to pick two or, as a special offer, he would leave the kid alone for a week if he took all three.

I don't remember most of the specifics but I do remember thinking that licking the bottom of someone’s shoe was really disgusting and humiliating. I recall thinking that I would probably take the other two and leave that alone.

Does anyone know what movie I'm talking about here? I can't remember and, since it's so fresh on my mind, would like to see it again.

praise or pressure?

Well, it was a bunch of people telling me to do something and I'm naturally a pesamistic person, both of which point to pressure. But since I didn't see any of it until after I'd written it (and was about to post), I'll take it as praise.

That it does, that it does. It's especally nice when one player accidentally kills another. So wonderful to savor the sweet sceant of player outrage. It truely is even better when it's not directed at me.

Hey Lela, just thought I would stop by and take a look. I enjoyed what I read. Thanks for a new story hour. Keep up the good work.

No apologies necessary. Heck, if you can put together a sentence like....

"It had to have come from the trees"

..... and have it make sense in the context, you've done well!

I agree. No need to be hard on yourself Lela. And once you can post again, do. It is my opion that the story should be heard.

Hay all,

As I'm sure you've gathered from Ambrosia's post, I've been unable to post (I know, post twice in one sentence, looks bad). Turns out that it was a cookie problem do to the test2.cyberstreet.com instead of test.cyberstreet.com link.

Because of this, many (if not most) people are having the same problems I was having. If this is so, be advised that the test.cyberstreet.com link works now, in addition to the test2 link. Just switch from one to another and it should work.

A big thanks goes out to Staffan and Adlon, from who I found this answer (it's not like I could post looking for help) in the test2.cyberstreet.com? thread.

Anyway, we're playing today (and I need to take a quick shower). So I'll have to respond to you all later.

This will put you something like 5 sessions behind, I think. We'll just have to get you all cought up, won't we?

Anyway, we're playing today (and I need to take a quick shower). So I'll have to respond to you all later.

I'm sure Most of your players would have survived if you had skipped the shower to do a write-up for us.

Re: Priorities

Don't be so sure. It's 100 degrees outside, and our air conditionor doesn't quite work right.

Regardless, most of the players did survive. Actually there are a lot of deaths in this campaign. I don't think I'm a hard DM, I think it's just because of a (very) small amount of bad luck and tacticle errors (better known as stupid mistakes).

Also, this group isn't used to someone who doesn't cheat if they're doing badly. Just ask Ambrosia, who plays Whisper.

I will write one up before bedtime, I promise. It should be posted by tomarrow.

For those of you who are interested, I asked the other three players to give me a short paragraph history on their character's history. For those of you who don't remember, I wrote up Whisper and Hawke in the opening post. I just didn't know enough about the other ones to do much.

And remember, he wrote this, not me.

So, here is Myen Ghul:

Bold, charismatic, and ever humble, this is the story of Myen Ghul. Born to a small family in a rocky wasteland, he lived a lonely childhood. The villiage children shunned him and threw large rocks at him. After a severe accident involving much fire and a lot of dead children, the villagers forced him away. He wandered to a small hut. Living inside was a candle maker. He smuggled special "incenses" and various narcotics inside his candles. Myen fondly grew to love the high he got from the candle smoke and spent the next three years strung out on candles. During these years, he wandered the world burning things, inns, homes, small animals, various wile canines, a cow, and the occational grove of trees. One day as he wandered he happened upon a small hut with a rather fierce woman living it with he roddly spineless husband. And the rest is history.

Now, before he wrote this up, he claimed that his character was CG. Let's just say that this is no longer true. Not that it matters too much anyway.

I'll be adding this to the descriptions in the opening post.
