The Antigrol Tide (OOC)

[jkason]

The Naomi plot's starting to hit Mag's personal quest buttons (wanting to learn magic), so I'm content to go with that for now, and there are lots of dangling threads to be picked up, which is fun. On XP, so long as the challenges match our level fairly well, I'm fine with slow advancement. I'm having fun playing the inexperienced Mag, myself.

Still lurking

I am still about as well. Looking for then (new) gaming thread...

 

[Mallak]

Naomi will be a bit more complicated, with the whole pedofile thing, which is also related to the low level problem, since we can't quite go head-to-head with a bunch of guards of a politically powerful person.

This is a pure metagaming statement, and it is leading you horribly astray, so stop that!

 

[Mallak]

Ok, here is a zip of all the pages I was able to recover. They are:

The rest of OOC 7
OOC 8
OOC 9
OOC 10
OOC 15 (the most recent)

IC 22 (not quite the most recent)

Storming the Ship 1


As you can see, we've lost a lot, so I'm going to repost IC22 in the IC thread, then do an uberrecap, at which point we'll be ready to go again.

 

[Mallak]

And we're off and running again, in no small part thanks to unleashed!

It's not a purely metagaming statement, since Malachi knows he's relatively inexperienced in fighting, and guards of a powerful person (and we got the impression he was politically powerful while in-character) would probably not be, especially in comparison.

And, even if he were more experienced, he'd naturally try to hold back all of his powers because he's a little afraid of them.

I'm probably not going to have time to read all of that. Any chance we can get a summary, or a breakdown of major points? All I know is that there was a bar fight, then something (I'm not sure what) also happened at the docks.

Done, in the IC thread.

Also, Mallak, you might want to use the Thread Tools to Download This Thread from time to time, just in case something like this happens again.

Okay, then 225xp in 3 months? We need 1775xp to level? That's how many more months? Yikes.

That's a level every 2 years.

And that is a metagaming statement. It's intended to be, since I was anazlying the game from a OOC perspective. Malachi wouldn't think of this, particularly in this way.

Done, in the IC thread.

Thanks!

This is what Brerrick said right before he explained everything. He's referring to the bandits that attacked us:
[sblock]"Yes, I know these men. They're hired thugs, brutes, strongarms. Generally work for the Bledsum clan. Seems strange they'd do something like this, though. The Bledsum's are supposed to be on the up and up these days. Not that anyone believes that...I wonder what they thought they were going to accomplish? It's not like folks would sit by if Mery disappeared. There's nowhere they could keep her that I wouldn't find her. Unless..." His face clouds over for a moment. "The Bledsum's are working with some foreigners these days, slavers from the far west, real shifty folks. If they thought they could get away with something like this..."[/sblock]

That was saved from Mallak's zip file. The rest of it, I assume, is on page 23. :\
