Dragons

Dragons are not to be confused with Wyrms or Greater Dragons. The dragons players can play are about 10 to 12 foot long, twice the height of a human. They cannot breathe fire but they are naturally very, very good at fire magic, Wyrms can breathe fire. Dragons are scaly, winded creatures with sharp elongated faces and jaws. They have sharp teeth and claws and can fly but not very well! They have the best eyesight of all the races with elves coming a close second and are quite powerful creatures. Being big and lacking the ability to walk on two legs though like bears they can rear up onto their back legs they cannot use amour, unless in is made specially or wield weapons. They would make good offensive mages with fire magic or frontline fighters with their claws and teeth and scales all being good for hand to hand combat. Don’t try and sneak around unless you know invisibility, globe of silence and you know there are no animals in the area, dragons tend to smell a bit.

Lin Chuan, "Holy Dragon? The forest forces must know before being incinerated!"

{Runs with longbow and a group of miltia}

{Arrives through small paths about 3 minuets before they arrive}

Wisperes, "The Magus is a dragon! Please tell me what you want to do and let me think. I don' want him to burn the entire forest so either assassinate him or have spirits destroy the fires made in the fight."

 

[Abaddon]

at NWAG3.. you would need GODLIKE charisma for a city to simply elect you as their leader. If this is running anything like a regular RPG/D&D-esk thing, you will have to work your way up within the city, and that will take time.

You have to imagine there is a whole world out there, with multi-many characters all getting on with life. This isn't a computer game where you are destined to get everything as long as you follow the correct path, do the right quests.

There is no "100% Complete" message, no end.

 

[Vertinari118]

Abaddon is right. And anyway the village of Larthorn have their leaders and would not chose any others that's the nature of the Badlands. If you have good leaders you don't swap for some charimatic guy you just met. That's why I said you should go to one of the bigger kingdoms.

Charles Li ( I am going to use usernames now when labelling posts its easier.)
Talak and Everan, the ranger who wass giving the orders the last time you met, turn around and look at you. " All the people are here by choice. We have counted and recounted the entire enemy force, we know what we are facing. The druids should be able to contain his fire for awhile and the animals are also here by choice. Inside Larthorn forest there are dark places if Enzor could reach those he could summon every hateful spirit, every corupt person, everything evil in that forest to his side and then he could use that power, as a powerful and evil Magus, he could drain them all of their strength and destroy the Kingdoms of Men and Elves with a flick of his mind. This is the threat we face and gladly. The world has been too quiet of late. We need some action!" He turns around and starts growling at some Red Bears.

 

[Terrance888]

"So I am also with you!"

{If they give me a command, follow it slighty before posting. I rather like exploding arrows. (Arrows, fire power to explode the bronze/iron tip)}

 

[Abaddon]

[To the Captain] "Oh, a dragon.. erm, i'll try distracting his minions, the orks/goblins, whatever.. i'll steer well clear of him. If we are lucky enough to defeat him, Can I please have the corpse?"

--------------------

OOC: So.. do you need anything more from myself? Or are we now waiting on others for the update/battle to commence?

 

[Vertinari118]

We are waiting on thomas really. I will give him a warning and bring the update forward to tomorrow. If you guys could get on his case as well. Abaddon I will follow your wishes when you are away don't worry. I almost wish you could swap places with thomas. (no offense meant to thomas.)

 

[Abaddon]

Has tom been online?

I note he signed up to my NES then hasn't re-appeared...

 

[Terrance888]

I believed Tom posted in Reclaiming the World talking of difficulties of Real Life.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

What pathetic kind of magi need armor or weaponry? burden yourselves down with such heavy waste, while I will be as free as air.

(ooc: yeah, i"m here... my days should be getting back to a more regular schedule... i've been traveling, and had family over, so, i"m sorry again...)

 

[Vertinari118]

I take it you accept the offer?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

yes, i do...

 

[Vertinari118]

You are going to love this. You get a staff. A Magus Staff. Further increases your stamina and magical control and allows you to tap into energy sources, which are nearby. Example Enzor has lanuched a fireball at you. You raise your staff and absorb some of the incoming energy (there is a limit to how much you can drain at once) which you then use to throw up a shield. With this simple staff you can become very powerful but if you were to be caught without it you would be stuffed. Enjoy.

 

[The Strategos]

I pulled up the wide brim of my hat, allowing me the dual advantage of being able to wipe the sweat off my brow as well as better see the small town in front of me. Even from this distance, I could see several armed men running about, while other, unarmed villagers seemed to be stacking various boxes, bales, and whatever else they could find into makeshift barricades.

I sat down, my knees out and my feet together, and considered my options. Master Nyaya once stated, “If a man sees one in trouble, and does not help them, he walks in darkness though still under the sun.” Yet Master Ashoka said “In a journey, look neither to the right hand nor the left until you have reached your destination. This is enlightenment.”

I considered again the small village before once again rising. After all, as Master Adi said, “Curiosity may kill you, but not knowing certainly will.”

 

[MooseWarrior]

"Ugh, now where'd that militia captain go?"
*jogs around town until I find the captain briefing Aiken, and others*
I go in and introduce myself to the captain.

 

[Vertinari118]

Commander Kavin briefs you on all that has occured in the briefing room. The Captain then burst into the room "Everyone get ready for battle the orcs are moving first engaugement by the foresters is mearely hours away. Those of you who wish to join them make your peace with Severn (Untor and a group of six other gods dedicated to presevring the Dream of Altor. Pester me and I may say more on the OOC thread. This is my way of saying update 0 is now set for tonight as everyone is here and we have a new character as well) and go. The rest of you to the North Gate. NOW!"

 

[Terrance888]

Spoiler :

Li Chuan heard the mutual stiffening as the Horde's marching is heard in the distance. He shifted he body and raised the longbow, muttering to his arrow...arrow, he will aim for the first officer he sees. He looks at the Miltiamen who followed, nearly a dozen total. "You Four!", he pointed at a group armed with shortbows and shields with longswords. "Your under the command of that guy," he points at the one who wears a solid Helm and a front Breast plate. "Go behind the horde and scout the enemy, when you hear the signal fire a few volleys and Charge if the Dragon isn't there then run up the valley sides after the charge. If the Dragon is there make sure he doesn't penetrate into the forest."

"The rest of you stay with me", he said as he gave the skirmish party a whistle, "We will support the charge from the back and will try to break into the supplies held in the center. We will burn the wagons and retreat behind friendly fire with the spirits."

Severn above! Give us the strength to survive! He thought as he readied his knife, his ammunition and his bow.

 

[Vertinari118]

The milita are laying no ambushes Charles please change that to part of the foresters force's. The milita are staying put bar the strike team to try and kill Enzor. Oh and as for explosive arrows speak to the old man or the Gnome (thomas that is know your character's name until you think of one,) to enchant your arrows, which they probably won't do. You could try yourself but you have no knowagle of enchantment. Or finally find some Dwarves, become friendly with Dwarves, get Black Powder and do it the old fashion way.

 

[Terrance888]

Did you ever seen metal explode?

Just have hollow heads (I have a couple) and fill it with water. Heat up and BOOM.

However, what can I do as Third in Command without my Miltia friends?

Also, if I do have black powder, no messing with fuzes, light them!
Thanks for telling me. I want to know if Heated arrowheads work?

 

[Vertinari118]

You still haven't addressed the main issue of you ordering milita men to perform an ambush! Nope can't say I have seen what you describe happen and my question now would be how would you control it. No-one, not even a Dwarf, will start out with Black Powder or weapons that use it. It is too powerful.
