As for voting... I warned you were-beast. I shall fight the were-beast

IC: the Necro-Master sighed. He had gotten his money and had been entertained by the battle, but after watching the first match, he hoped he had not made a horrible mistake coming to this tournament. the Necro-Master walks off to meet up with his teammates.

 

[Tolis]

'' 'SSssssssSSSSss Illithid..... hungers..... for gold.... 'SssssssSSS''

There is a snap and the dark voice is replaced by a childs voice, high pitched and excited.

''Yeeees!!!! I won!!! I won! My favourite part as when he got splatted! Did you see? Did ya? That was sooo cool! 150 gold on the prophet guy!

Snap

''No! That's too much.'' replied the sleazy, mercantile voice that always seemed to surface around money.''

Snap

''No! He's bound to win! I'm betting on him whether you like it or not, fatty!''

Snap

''You're losing all my gold!'', the merchant snapped back.''

Snap

''It's not just your gold! Its everyone's gold! And that means me, too.''

Suddenly the Illithid begins to scream.

'' 'SsssssSSSssss Shut up! Shut up! AAaaaaAAAaaaHhhh!''

The creature falls silent. The crowd around him avert their eyes and pretend nothing happened.

Looking at length over the battlefield, the smell of yesterday's blood still spritening the morning's dew.

hmmm so the Pinman lives. Would have been so victorious without that luck boost who knows.

"It doesn't matter now" a grimly community whisper slithers from the tents of those counting their winnings slips past the breakfast campfires.

Looking around the battlefield; where is this Pinman now? This victor, this champion.

Recovering? Drowning himself in liquor hosting orgious victory parties?

He will wait for another round....And due to his victory those that lost in the frenzy of last night's gambling will have already marked him to fall for the glory of their gold.

The second battle approaches this eve; doesn't look much more than a puppy fight. Oh well my son; your moment will come and we will draw blood from those before us.

Thirsty? Yes me too. Our wine is coming.

Lets just wait for our turn on the battlefield will come. It always does.

Horseman thought through the events around him, but as was the case a lot of the time his mind was distracted. The questions included who to bet on, his bid for the leadership, and others were on his mind.

He had been helping Advisor on the side in an assasination war against his notional liege. Horseman saw him as a traitor to Hagnaught for actually being willing to abide by the results of the contest. Becoming more and more disloyal, Horseman was now willing to actually rig the contest.

But other, more things had happened. King had, while allowing him to stay at the contest, denounced him as a traitor for an assasination attempt he had suggested. Advisor had been assasinated, leaving Horseman on his own.

Horseman was still determined to assasinate the King, hoping to start a rebellion against his rule. But were his motivations pure?

He began to wonder, for a desire for power had been rekindling itself in his soul. If he were to do as he did to restore Hagnaught, that might be justified. But he would rather die, burn in hell, and let King win then do it for power. Or, at least, he thought he would...

The Vampyre has just been itching for a fight. I'd suggest how we see how a Vampyre deals with a Drunken Brawler.

{OOC: Is it possible to show the wins and losses attributed to each person by each betting round? IE, person x gains this amount of gold, person y gives this amount of gold..}

 

[Tolis]

2:5 was the ratio if thats what you were looking for. other then that im not clear as to what you mean.

 

[scungebian]

The Holy Man wonders what on earth Neverwonagame3 is babbling about......????

When the camp of rogues, barbarians, warriors, and holy accords, rest in the middle day heat of day two, Neverwonagame3 wants to tell us a story.

Do tell please, but first decide the topic my dear friend.
For a good tale is never lost, unless it wasn't...........

 

[Neverwonagame3]

OOC: I was simply RPing- it wasn't meant to be me telling a story IC.

 

[scungebian]

I am always RPing thats why I like these games

but to enjoy the RP more write it so others get pulled into the character talk
then they can carry it on with their own RPing.

Simple rules for a good text RP...

lead into it.
develop the topic in the lead in.
then go full speed into RPing
lead out at the end so the reader falls back into "the world of the real"

Example on technique above:

My character is a death knight.

Lead in: Valiantly he rides in through the castle gates expecting to meet the king and tell of his news of victory.
Lead in and topic: inside the castle walls he finds darkness, and gloom. Around him lay ruins, and bodies, victims of a battle lost.
RPing: He reaches for his sword and calls into the darkness; "hear ye! hear ye! Tis I Knight Ploppy of this castle always-summer-days! All that still reside here come unto me in this courtyard this day and we will build an army to redeem our King!"
Lead out: Sadly the hours passed and not a soul came to that courtyard. As a tear turns from his battle weary eyes he requests to vote Somebody for the next battle.

follow a simple pattern like this
and I think your RPing will be great.
trust me I have written alot of rpg games lol....too many maybe.
You've got all the right phrases kid, keep working on it.

 

[Neverwonagame3]

Sorry about that- I thought you had made a bit of a mixup. I'll continue from that lead.

R.P:
"That's not true. If you must, I can tell you how I got that abominable nickname."

 

[The13thRonin]

D'Artagnan59, The Mutant... A most detestable urchin which has threatened me via a series of intimate, personal contacts The Ronin takes this opportunity to throw a stack of bound up letters onto the betting table in a vain attempt to force me to back down from my vendetta with mythmonster2, The Vampyre. I am through with his despicable games which prevented me from crushing the insolent Vampyre in the first round. I therefore challenge the said misfit and manipulation extraordinaire to a bout of combat, he will pay for his ill-thought-out threats.

The13thRonin, The Ronin to fight D'Artagnan59, The Mutant

The Ronin unties a bag of gold from his belt and tosses it onto the betting table with an audible clunk 545 gold pieces on Methos, The Spellsword

 

[choxorn]

Although I find it somewhat unintuitive to bet against my team leader (who, BTW, has bet lower than the rules allow- 10% of 589 is not 50!), I must place

100 gold on the spell sword.

 

[mythmonster2]

Ah, thank you. I raise my bet to 100 gold on the false prophet.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

50 gold on the Spellsword the were beast growled, coming out of the shadows...

I'll not suffer any insults to my teammates... though i wish to fight thee, Vampyre, i must first avenge the insult to the Ronin... Ronin vs. Mutant
