Rumour Has It / Grief of Love
« on: March 18, 2012, 09:27:58 am »
After hearing news of the death of her partner, Zarianna travels to the Breath of the Muse.  When she sees SehKy, she punches him square in the face.  Hard.  She then goes to see Gel'larian's body, sending all others away, sequestering herself with him for days until one of the Priestesses of Ilsare finally convince her to let them send him to his final rest.





//RIP Gel'larian Windsbreath.

Rumour Has It / Mistites in Leringard
« on: January 09, 2012, 04:39:34 am »
After the turbulance of the last few months that has struck the Mistite faith around the world there appears to be signs that some sort of accommodation has been reached with the dragons that had been attacking the order.

A new Tide of the north has been announced to replace the former woman called Yashilla who had held the position for many years through guile and strength.

Newly appointed, Tide Hardragh set sail from Leringard for Molten isle before returning a few months later with Tide Murray who had been held there by the Pyrtechonites.

The Tempest and several other Tides were present in Leringard as Tide Hardragh's ship and Tide Murray's ship both docked safely.

Observers could plainly see the Tempests welcome of Tide Hardragh was cold but Tide Murray was warmly received. Tide Cassandra was also on hand to offer her congratulations to the new Tide Hardragh in his success of rescuing Tide Murray.

The return culminated in a celebration aboard the Mistites ship in the harbour.

In the days that follow is seems there will be a proper accounting of the losses the Mistites have suffered over the last 18 months and how they plan to hold onto what they have left and to rebuild what they have lost.

There are some talking already that perhaps the Misites have reached their peak and their decline is now imminent...

Rumour Has It / Lord Raels message
« on: December 25, 2011, 05:53:17 pm »
On the anniversary of the Great Fires of Prantz from during the early days of the Sederra Kuhl war Lord Rael has appeared to give a speech during the celebrations.

In a suprisingly lengthy speech the self titled benevolant leader spoke to a huge crowd in the city's main square.

During his speech Lord Rael outlined several key points:

1/ He reaffirmed the alliance and the gratitude his nation has for the continued presence of the Rofireinites and their lawful ways. He affirmed the continuing acceptance of them by the Sulterians.

2/ He thanked the people of his nation for being stalwart and supportive during the long years of trouble during the wars. Both the Dark Elven invasion and the Kuhl-Sederra conflict and including the ongoing battle in Hilm.

3/ He once again extended an invitation to Castle Mask and Lor to rejoin with the greater nation for their better security and to share in the rising abundance that the Raelites are enjoying.

4/ He announced that every man women and child in Rael would soon receive a document that grants them full citizenship within the nation and every year forth they can present their document and receive a refund of 10% of the taxes they paid that year. Failure to produce the document of course means no refund. Holders of the document will have greater benefits within Rael.

5/ As part of the new Rael Citizenship benefit scheme Lord Rael has ordered a census of the people to be held in two months time where every person living in Rael must return to their home town to register themselves and their families.

6/ Finally, he announced that Rael would lend Sedera half a million true in order to help support the rebuilding process.

Rumour Has It / Dragon Strike
« on: December 16, 2011, 08:19:23 pm »
Once again it seems Mistites are the targets of seemingly random dragon attacks around the world over the last few months.

This time again Snowtooth has ventured far from his frozen lands to the north and was seen in the oceans off eastern Mistone by a number of merchant vessels.

The White Dragon landed on a Mistite ship, observers noted, almost sinking it in the process, and took off several minutes later heading north again leaving the badly damaged vessel to limp towards the nearby small port at Frontier Fort in the nation of Brelin.

Before authorities there could intercept and interrogate those aboard the damaged ship it seems they fled the city. Locals on the docks swear the group was led by an important Mistite and also had amongst their ranks the infamous mercenary known as Steel and the notorious bully, Gork.

General Discussion / A Moment of Silence
« on: September 11, 2011, 02:30:41 pm »
Haven't seen it posted yet ... I bow my head for a moment of silence for those lost 10 years ago today at "Ground Zero" where the towers once stood, the Pentagon and those of the Flight that went down in Pennsylvania.  My heart felt thanks goes out to all those that help to serve and protect their fellow man.

General Discussion / TO ALL WL Quest event participators:
« on: September 04, 2011, 12:52:12 pm »
I have posted this and emailed and PMed this in other places, but I am going to make a general announcement.

I had to put the WL Quest on hold. I have something pending for Layonara that is taking up ALL of my available time at the moment. Until that is absolved I CANNOT deal with the WL event. Please stop pushing each other for information that I have not had the chance to pass out to anyone because it's causing a bunch of people to get annoyed and worse. Since people are getting so bent out of shape over this, I am putting an 'until further notice' flag on this.  

It's really fabulous that people are wanting to be involved and are playing it up between quests but it needs to be scaled back due to the GM not being able to participate. You don't have to pretend like it's not happening but please stop irritating each other as that doesn't help anyone, most especially me, get anything done faster. Feel welcome to wrack up a ton of questions for me to answer but please don't expect an answer back (from anyone) until such time that I say I'm answering questions again.

Just remember, it's fine (as far as I'm concerned) to take this development seriously but it is not okay to upset other people, especially when the problem is completely out of the control of the player. You are welcome to be as irritated at me as you like, as long as it's up front and you are accepting that I have only so many hours in a day. Rest assured that I am taking notes about all of this as I move forward with this experiment and if anything like it is attempted again, and that's a big if at this point, these things will be taken into account. This kind of project takes a huge time investment and it's probably just not something any GM will have the capacity for in the future. Please, please be patient with us and your fellows.

Regards,
~row

The Dragon Storm Campaign / Honor, Conquest and Silent Suffering....
« on: August 05, 2011, 04:32:37 am »
In war torn regions it is always a bright spot when heroes  are celebrated and the world is given a chance to breath easy and think the best of some. This was of course no less true in war torn Belinara despite dynamically opposed powers vieing for control of the land, and indeed, themselves. On a bitterly cold day in Hilm, in the outer courtyard of the castle bearing the same name, hundreds upon hundreds gathered together to do just that: Think the best of some.  

 Dressed in full regalia, Lord Alexandar stood full honors for a collection of people who, at first glance, seemed nothing but  a rag-tag bunch of riffraff. Frankly, in amongst the near blinding crowd of plated soldiers and brightly dressed people of the land, the honorees stood out more for their oddness than heroic appearance. It didn't matter, not to them, nor to those who celebrated them. It was too easy to remember the battles here, too easy  to remember all they had done for the people of Hilm and indeed, the world.  

 Called forth each in turn: Mysterious G'ork, Stout Kromlek Stormaxe and Gunder Harbist, and the Rough Looking Vrebel were presented with the Honorary Captain in Hilm Protectorate. Each was regaled with excerpts of battles their peers recalled on the fateful day the Cult was turned back from Hilm Castle. Standing proud (either feigned or real), shouts of many a cheerful reward (usually in the form of alcohol) is offered from their fellows.  

 Jillseponie Kendall, the lithe elf of unknown years, is honored as Scout Warden of Hilm Protectorate. Well meaning jeers are sent through the crowd, calling for the dwarf hidden in her pouches to do her heavy hitting. In truth, this is probably the only place such things would be said for there were too many targets for the formidable woman to hit before she was taken down in retaliation. Instead she only  quirked a sharp brow in the general direction before  cheers went up on her behalf.  
 
 Each is penned in true military style and greeted with the customary call, the motto of Hilm. “Protect, Defend, Endure, Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!” Repeated throughout the courtyard in a booming chant, that seems as if it should rattle the rubble and crenelations of the castle walls. The sharp of ear and familiar to the regions of Belinara would catch the dialects and other languages adding to the call of  the victorious.  

 At the end of the ceremony, a touching eulogy is read by members of the standing army who witnessed the fall of Chaynce Baldu'muur. His final hours are recounted to the soldiers, describing him as an honorable man with a sharp  tongue and firm resolve. It was remembered that his last breath was taken in the arms of his lady, the proud Lady Daniella Stormhaven. It was remembered that he never flinched and asked little.  

 Also remembered was Sallaron Tempest. Early when the world barely cared about the domination of  Kuhl's boarders Sallaron began touching on the powers that  would eventually matter in the final hours. Wherever  he lay, wherever his family be, they are thought of with honored blessings from a crowed of  battle hardened, thankful, soldiers.  
 

 ------------
 

 The brews flowed in Hilm, Lord Alexandar tapping some of the barrels long reserved for celebrations such as this. While he partook little he encouraged those o f h is staff to celebrate and be merry. The weathered and weary look on his square face said what did not need saying on a day such as this. That there are too few of them in these times was a  thought all knew and few spoke so as not  to ruin the mood of their peers.  

 Deep within a pack of Toranites, Azk'a is called on to recount many a tale of battling those scaley green  (censored). There is more than celebration in the eyes of these men as they listen to Azk'a detail the weaknesses the Cult's toughest and fearsome soldiers. Honor and not little awe reflected in their faces.

 Another elf, this a wild thing in contrast to Jillesponie's immaculate presence, threw back brews with the best of the dwarves and humans, able to drink no few under the table. “And let me tell you! Those boarders thick with them.  Still, with the right kind of paper,” he paused and rubbed to coins in between his thumb and forefinger to indicate the kind of 'paper'  he meant, “You could get in past 'em. That was just the outer rims though. Inside... Inside deep it was another matter and thank the  gods for my willing conspirators...” He shook  his head and continued on to tell about some of the braver merchants willing to stick their necks out on his behalf to bring back that crucial information outside the boarders...  
 

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

 Somewhere deep within Kuhl on that same day posters of yet another elf were being put up. Fair faced and slight, Elohanna's likeness was posted on Kuhl message boards the country over. Over her head the letters marked the leader's wrath, the damnation of the frail creature. Fifty  thousand true, a sum enough to feed the largest of families for generations, it said. Fifty thousand true for her lifeless body at the feet of the Cult's masters.... Sharp eyes memorized  her features, taking in all they could and hating her.
 
 In the back rooms where those not blinded by the Cult's message, her name is breathed with honor. She, the elvish woman who  defeated the taint within her body... The embodiment that the Cult could be defeated....
 

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

 Sitting on rock faced cliffs, like so  many cliché bitter gulls, a small group of Stormbringers shared their exploits from Audria's battle. Each built upon the one before, talking up the battle with glee... A name is spoken among them with inflections of honor though he could be a threat just as easily. Hardragh. They would remember him and watch his progress....  
 

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

 In the weeks following the battle of Hilm Castle, the diet returned to her place in Lor. It was the place she should be, and the city shuddered and flustered like an irritated bird just before settling as the tall blond woman walked through the streets. Just beside her, the dark elf, companion strode easily enough. None would ever say it to her face, but behind her they called her the Diet's shadow, dark and dangerous in all the ways a shadow is deceitful and poisonous. But not everyone is blinded by the justifiable distrust. Some know her for all she sacrificed, some know her for her pure strength of character and power.  

 Too they know the true depth of Diet Angela's power, that she was the protagonist in their side of the story. Her deeds in the war, despite Lor's small  part in it, were murmured in even the dark places of the city and the world beyond it's  docks. The two women would be remembered for their parts as well. For now the wise and gullible alike scattered out of their path like settling feathers.....

General Discussion / OH boy... *shakes his fists at Bioware*
« on: August 03, 2011, 02:38:56 am »
So installed a new HDD today and wanted to make a clean instal of the game on it. Everything is fine until I need to make the update of the game.. and it tells me to get the critical rebuild. I copy the link into my browser, and I ger redirected to the new bioware forum.. no links what so ever to download the critical rebuild.

So.. since Bioware has obviously stopped it's support of the game (there's no download section for the game on their new ea/bioware website that I could find.) Here's the link to the critical rebuilt 1.69 I found on the vault.

Note: If you're using the diamond english version of the game under windows, you'll need this update NWNEnglish1.69HotUUpdate.exe

General Discussion / I'm not dead.
« on: July 20, 2011, 10:16:30 pm »
Hey everyone,
This is just a short note, to let everyone know I am still alive... However, due to problems with my computer, and just general being busy, its unlikely I will be around much. I really didn't mean to let this absence last so long, it just sort of happened.

I'd also like to offer my sincere apologies to everyone I had RP with - and an even bigger apology to the GMs who I had been working with, and my fellow CAs.

I will try and pop in to check PMs, if anyone wants to get a hold of me. Hope everything is going well in Layoland :-)
