The Old Fogy Story!!! Story Time

Jea> My one objection.. it is Setting specific..


Anyhow, as the voting goes, 3 came across as the most popular.

3) Word comes of a need for adventurers, and somehow, each of us gets a personal invite. But when we go to the meeting place, things turn out much different. The war/military action we were called to was a hoax, and now we are to be pitted against each other for someone else's amusement. Those who don't participate get... punished.

Krystal, care to expand on this idea a bit?

 

[Krystal]

Bleh, you would ask for that, wouldn't you?

Hmmm, I really don't know how to expand. I kinda like the idea that it is a means for what was it, number 7?

To be completely honest, I hadn't given it a whole lot of thought, it was more of a starter thing and I was kinda hoping others would flesh it out a little with their own ideas if it was picked.

Hmmm...

I really can't think of anything right now. Too tired and irritated today. I hate my job. I cannot wait until classes start again.

Ugh, bleh. Sorry guys. Feel free to twist it/add to it/modify it/etc

 

[Dontella]

Well 7 I could expand on, if folks wanted.. I did think it out one night with Wrenny-boo..


Let me know or just say.. Shuddup.. either works.

Actually, I think I like 7 enough.. that I would try and set it up, even if folks weren't interested in it or didn't vote on it.. or whatever..

I'll stop babbling now.. and go back to sleep?

 

[Jeajea]

Hmm. Do people not particularly like my idea, then? *sniff*
Okay. *shrugs*

 

[Dontella]

*points up for Jea*

The whole, setting specific thing.. makes it kinda limiting. At least that's my thoughts..

 

[Jeajea]

But it's not setting specific... err... well. Doesn't have to be. Can be. Or not.

 

[Dontella]

And I quote.. - The Faceless Lords. They're an Oerth based evil group

Oerth, pretty specific setting.

 

[Jeajea]

To clear up the misunderstanding once and for all; and I quote:

But it's not setting specific... err... well. Doesn't have to be. Can be. Or not.

Doesn't have to be. That is, it's Oerth based - need a base/starting point somewhere - but they're pretty indiscriminate. They want to conquer the whole multiverse. Sorry, don't mean to be rude here. Sorry!

 

[Krystal]

So, er, um... is anything going to be done, or is to be set on the wayside?

#3 sounds almost like the Battle Royale films... Where a bunch of kids are drugged, kidnapped and taken to a desert island where they're all pitted against eachother in a battle of survival and have to kill eachother off within a three-day-timelimit till there's only one survivor.. else they all die.

That.. just happened to be the first thing that I thought of when I read that idea.

Maybe the whole, sending-letters and trapping characters someplace could be a ruse to lure away the more powerful and well established characters, pitting them against eachother whilst whatever third party is organising it all makes plans to do something while said characters aren't there to top him/her and are too wrapped up in sorting out their own alliances to realise what is happening?

Perhaps trying to bring about a new order, or religion or whatever while the other's are somewhat distracted.. So when they finally make sense of their situation they return to a completely changed state of life and have to figure out who's behind it?

Or.. something...

Or maybe I'm just rambling at 3am in the morning.
But either way, I'm willing to lend a paw and even create a new new characters for things. Hum.
