Magnadine was in his tent, looking over reports from all over the world. A war between Doviello and the Malakim…The orcs of the Clan of Embers attacking Bannor…the only offers were to join other individuals like himself, something he couldn’t see happening in the short run.

He was itching to be out there, on the battlefield, making a real difference. Instead, he was watching the horses graze (an old el’Hippi saying that means you’re doing nothing in particular). There had been talk of being hired for something, but the Hippus had not told him anything, they had only consulted him on the price. Turns out they didn’t do much of anything this year.

His men were getting restless. He could feel it. Everyday he had to assure them a big job was coming. Recently, all he was getting was small jobs, up in the mountains, protecting miners, barely enough to cover the whole company. He had no idea what would happen if he didn’t get a job soon. 1,000 aggressive el’Hippi horseman is not a pretty sight.

Rhoanna gnashed her teeth: The fools, giving her the sleep potion a day early! The fools, refusing messages sent to them. She sat down and wrote a stinging message to the World.

The Hippus

They are horsemen, for sure, but more than that. We are mercenaries: we fight for those who pay the highest for our honor and skills. If we do not recieve any offers, even of just 50 coin, we will attack the most vurnable enemy we could find and take the coins for ourselves.

All right. Waiting only on one more... Arthendain. Again, I may have just lost your orders - if so, I'm sorry. I'll edit you into the update if you get them in to me within a day or two.

No update today, guys. Perhaps tomorrow, but finals are in a week and when combined with end-of-semester homework... I make no guarantees.

Spoiler :

A report of a great war came in today. A great host of Orcs are attacking the nation of the Bannor. Nothing like that ever happened in these lands. Nothing much of anything ever did. When we accepted the gift of immortality nobody ever told us how boring and dull it would get after the first couple centuries. It is worse trying to get those of mine kin to do much of anything, even when it is truly for the good of all.

"There are those that wield death as if they were Arawn himself."

I can remember everything from the encounter with the blue skinned angel and yet this above all else is burnt into my memories as well as all my actions since then. I have made it home to try to convince all I can that these people do no deserve such power. All their victims scream to be advenged for the life stolen by the unworthly.

And so I now walk this road, heading to yet again another meeting place for those of combat ability among my people, and this time it is a Hunting Lodge. Much alike to the one where I recieved my training back before this blade and this task were gifted to me. Perhaps here I will find some that do not go deaf to my words and understand the reason and importance of this task.

Though I had enough coin for the night and spent much of it playing the delecate game of persuasion with those of similar abilities as I, again I do not know how many will listen. As always I leave a note with the location and time of departure of the ship that I have booked to take us inland and I can only hope that some will meet me there when the time comes.

I am eager to get my work started. I have trained many a year for this and though my power may be great, I know that it alone is not enough so I am now off to search for a Mage Guild where perhaps I can persuade some of the magically and logically gifted how they stand to benifit from following along.

This war between the Bannor and the Orcs will not last forever and the sooner we get there, the sooner we can begin the search for our first target. I can only pray that while the Angel gave me the strength and weapon needed, my words will bring the followers neccessary to carry out my task.

All right... we have had an UnFoRtUnAtE Occurance. RL has once again snagged a respectable NES'er! Let us all bow our heads for a moment in regret at that dastardly RL, and observe a moment of silence.

...

...

...


All right. That being said, there has recently been an opening in the NES for a new character. Lurkers are welcome to apply, but there is preference given to Daris, who wanted to join earlier but couldn't.

 

[Seon]

Who is this Nes'er so that we could bow our head in respect and mourning (and sorry for n00b question, but who is RL?)

 

[hbar]

Its me, RL = real life. I decided this weekend that a master's is sufficient (instead of a Ph.D.) and so I suddenly need to find a career-type job and tie up a lot of loose ends.

I'll still be playing in ImmacuNES, but two was one too many. Sorry all

 

[Seon]

Okay then, DARN YOU YOU DASTARDLY RL!!!!!

 

[Immaculate]

Sorry to hear you're not continuing HBar
having said that, i think a masters, in this work-environment is the way to go, especially if you get out of academia and join industry

if i had to do it again, i think i would have gotten into industry ASAP.

 

[orangelex44]

All right, boys and girls...

I'm going to be taking a bit of a pause in this, until Friday at the very least. I just have too many things I have to do. I don't have the time to really do the mod thing right this week - a problem I knew I'd have once I decided to start early. Think of it as the punishment (hiatus) that goes with the reward (early start). Hopefully, this weekend I'll be able to scrape up some time to get a quick update through along with stats.

 

[Seon]

It's okay Orange, take your time, take a deep breath, exhale. Take a deep breath, exhale. Repeat

 

[orangelex44]

Just checking in, to prove that I haven't forgotten about this.

However, finals week starts on Sunday - and I won't be getting around to this until it ends on Thursday. Maybe not even then, if I decide to celebrate... anyway, point is, the delay will be extended a bit, but I promise that the show will eventually go on.

Off topic, but Ocean's Eleven is a sweet movie.

 

[Tyrs]

All the Ocean movies are sweet.

 

[orangelex44]

The second one always felt a little weak to me.

 

[Seon]

Before we degenarate into another off-topic discussion about movies.... well... there is nothing to do....

Star Gate rocks folks

 

[Tyrs]

I watched that for like, 6 years, with my dad. Good memories. I stopped watching it a while ago. don't really watch most tv anymore

 

[orangelex44]

I used to watch ST Voyager... that show was the one that first let me stay up until 10:30 and 11:00 back in the day.

 

[Northen Wolf]

Star Gate rocks folks

Do I have to explain..

 

[merciary]

I do very much agree with the above statements,
All Hail the Ori.

 

[Seon]

Hallowed Are the Ori! ALL WHO STRAY FROM THE PATH ARE EVIL!

Hallowed are the Ori! All Hail the Ori! Kneel! Kneel before the might of the ORI, NAOOOOOOO!

something like that? merciary?

 

[merciary]

yep, something along those lines.
