Evil at its Finest | OOC | Closed For Now

M'Kay. Would 350 be reasonable?

Total or of the most inexperienced group?

Total.

[Yoite]

A) I'm not playing your numbers game.

B) I could consume souls and gain power as well, so it is unlikely you will be doing more of that than me.

I didn't know that was one of Balor's powers. That's fine I'd just want to know how powerful you are in equivalent to souls you can consume. Like what is your max feat?

Magic.

Some of us have skeleton armies smaller than that, to be fair. You'll probably gain people over the course of the RP.

To be fair, none of my guys are really tough undead, a lot are inexperienced, and it IS supposed to be one of the largest Assassin groups in the known world, so. Yeah.

Point taken, it's up to Elerian.

Counter point, you won't have your assassins marching in the open field either. You won't be subject to dozens dying in enemy cavalry charges, and barrages of holy spells.

Total.

Yea that sounds alright. So long as you don't try and form ranks with your guys then were good.

[Terintania]

Have I missed anything important? Lots of OOC pages since last I saw.

They also will be unlikely to stay in groups for long. As well as being spread out here and there and everywhere.

About a page and a half discussing how best to kill Mad-Dog but besides that no. Just read up on the IC and then get posting!

I have no idea what to post.

Which is exactly where they will be most effective, being assassins.

Take your pirate ship and come to me.

[Great Empire of Gamilus]

My Keeper will proceed to journey to your keep next time I post.

OK

[Yoite]

Take your pirate ship and come to me.

OK

That's just a suggestion, I've sent out the call for the dark of heart. You did ask for guidance though, so you might as well be one of the first to head on over and prove your worth.

Name: Metallos
Commonly referred to as: The Forge-Master, He Who Crafts, The Great Smith, The Master of the Ever Forges, The World Shaper.
Deity of: Golems, Miners, Mountains, Smiths, Smithies and Forging.
Personality: Arrogant, prone to anger but generally quite friendly.
Lore: Metallos is credited as being the God who forged the Earth in all her glory, in his great and all powerful Ever Forge. He created vast mountains of rock, filled with mighty gems and valuable resources once Mauro had given life to the shell that was the original world. After this, Metallos saw it fitting to create his own peoples for a world that he created; so he created the Golems, vaguely in his image to inhabit his mountains and be their keepers.

I can expand upon this, well, aim to.
How does everyone like this idea?

Oh, was that a character application? I just thought it was lore.

Yes, but if they are caught, guess what? Mission over. They aren't really tough, with the leader being a notable exception, and many of them are inexperienced. Therefore, it is a priority not to get caught.

Point taken, I can concede on that.

[The Batorys]

You do.

And the Novels of the Malazan Empire.

And what's out so far of the Kharkanas Trilogy.

And the Bauchelain and Korbal Broach stories.

Well no spoilers, I've only just finished Gardens of the Moon. Each book is just so packed with lore though that you feel like an expert after just one, and I am frightened by how much more there is.

Edit: You should do some RPing with Videssos, unless you are Videssos. I remember him being quite the fan and he is a great writer.

Never heard of Videssos. This is my first foray into P2tM.

[Nekronia]

This thread is so active, good lawd. It takes longer to refresh the page than it does for another post to have arrived!

[Jordslag]

Total.

Yea that sounds alright. So long as you don't try and form ranks with your guys then were good.

M'Kay, fixed.

[Jordslag]

Wait, you can make Deities?

[Elerian]

I think we now have enough players and i'll be closing the RP. If any of you can find another player that would be on the side of good then they may join(No more kings though). Otherwise this is henceforth closed.

El, can you make Deities? I wanna make a God on the side of good.

[The Batorys]

That's not true. You've got Elerian throwing random shit at us from one side, apparently, the Overlord's forces, which are already almost half ours, then all the crazy shit you guys already have. I think you'll do just fine.

I don't think he's doing the math.

Yeah, if we're going with the Orcs are marauding bands of raiders trope that constantly raid non-Orc lands because that's just what they do, then any countries who border the lands where Orcs dwell would have very militarized societies and large standing armies (and 1000 is, as has been pointed out, incredibly puny), such as the Borderlands in Wheel of Time, or Gondor and Rohan in LotR. Orcs would be something those societies would ICly know about, and so those borders would be quite fortified. Because nobody would go "Oh, there are Orcs out there who often raid our villages, but I'm going to forget about that and not do anything to stop it." The Orcs aren't organized, no, but to villagers, they are terrifying, likely. Even autocratic rulers tend to have to do something if their citizens are up in arms about being attacked.

Something I've always wondered though... what do Orcs do when they're not launching raids on people? What is the rest of Orc society like?

Also, evil has Mad Dog. I think. Wait, is he even on a side other than the "being batshit crazy" side?

I have a plan for Orc-Society, though it's for a different RP entirely.

And

It's interesting the various 'counterbalances' and lack thereof the different magic systems in fantasy universes have. Though in that universe, going mad from using magic seems to be a significant drawback. Obviously I like the Malaz system best, but it's very different at times than the WoT system. Both of them seem to do the "magic users can detect powerful use of magic," though for the WoT system, only users of Saidin can actually see Saidin, and likewise with Saidar. From what I recall.
