General Discussion / Re: The End of a Warrior

Jacrum kneels next to Trenton, holding his axe but it's head in his meat hand.

"Och laddie, yer were a force. Yer beat muh ter der hall O Vorax."

Jacrum clashes the axe against his shield.

"Fer VORAX."

He begins ter reminisce the battles they shared.

"Oi remember der tiome we foight a score score O dark elves in the swamps O awakening.  Vorax was with yer that day.  Nay could stand against yer.  Oi just picked off der stragglers as dey swarmed ye."

"If Vorax wills it I'll see yer soon laddie. Till den I'll spread yer memory, along with der other warriors in der Halls of Vorax."

Development Journals and Discussion / Re: Gladyus Reports
« on: April 04, 2010, 08:06:53 pm »
Gladyus stood in stone-stance front of the imposing desk, mirrored by the single defender standing behind it. Master Taazk'kazja sat and worked through the large stack of reports. The only sound was the occasional rustle of papers.

Master Taazk'kazja finished reading. “This contract is in order. You are to provide a decade military service to the Legion, excluding service to the Adamantine Brotherhood and within the scope of Rael’s Law, very cunning.”

“This Dragon has ambition; its pride will be his downfall. Continue to cultivate it and grow the Legion. I need an expendable force and the dark elves will do.”

“Keep training.”

Master Taazk'kazja went back to his reading. Gladyus and the Defender did not move or speak a word. The quiet belied the stain of tortured leg muscles. The practitioners of stone-stance mimicked the deep-rock from which they were hewn.

Again Gladyus stood with head bowed in the room with a few subtle changes over the years. He noticed several more faded yet too-stubborn-to-be-removed stains in the otherwise immaculate floor.

“Your late.” master Taazk'kazja's stated as if a few decades wasn’t unexpected.

“As was your report on the Belinara situation...” master Taazk'kazja's continued without waiting for a reply.

“Fortunately the information it contains is useful” master continued while skimming the report.

“Tell me” master Taazk'kazja.commanded. His black eyes watched Gladyus closely for signs of weakness.

“Aye, it captured muh with its magics ere” Gladyus indicated on the map drawn in his own hand.

“And it kept muh... a long while. Till some 'venturers arrived.”

“It wanted ter protect der portals, and der 'venturers did its bidding. Oi led der 'venturers oot of der forest, till oi could give em der slip.”

“And this enemy from another plane?” queried the master.

“I nay know if dey be real or myth, but der be something going on.”

“Interesting, continue to follow these adventurers and report to me. See what you can do to hinder their efforts. The control of the portals shall belong to Prantz.”

“Well Gladyus seeing as you have missed your last dozen-dozen training sessions we have a lot to catch up on. You will wish you had escaped the prison of this planar being earlier before the week is over.”

Master Taazk'kazja's signalled for defender to step forward.

The sound of breaking flesh and groans and grunts are heard as the training session and punishment begins.

An old seadog watches as the figure lands on the dock.
He rubs his eye patch, then speaks a work to a dock hand.  After a laugh and a shake of his head he wanders towards the one-eyed harpy to find a drink.

In fact both Jin Lun Lee and Xandrian were officers in the Pranzis army corps at the time of the fall.

Jin carries a defender of Pranzis flag and has told the story to a fair few people over the years.

Made it to level 5.

Post your screen shots here.  I want to know if anyone finishes this game (without cheating, recompiling etc).

Some Tips:
Blind the [a]rchers,
  • rcs and [W]raiths so they don't wipe out the hero with their ranged attacks.


The hero makes a bee line for the chests first.  Try and get infront of him to prepare the way.

Axes and hamma's stay true ter yer kin, yer clan and yer heritage.  Der blood of der earth runs in yer veins, der heros of der past live again in yer actions, deeds and words.  May ye honour our proud heritage in all that ye be and do.

If yer need axe, hamma, words or fellowship yer kin always count on kin.

Script,

We know what your next character should be now.

That particular voiceset unlocker isn't the one I use.  

But I do believe that it includes minsc as there are a number of .wav files in the package. However other people won't be able to hear that voice unless they also download this package.

CDQs require level 10 unless they are for the purpose of taking a PrC before level 10.

My suggestion is to speak with as many other characters who could be involved.  There is a lot that can be done just through PC interaction.  Perhaps a Group CDQ if you can get enough involved.

Introduce Yourself / Re: Axodeth Stonecutter has fallen...
« on: November 30, 2008, 11:17:32 pm »
First  the word spreads among dwarven circles, then it reaches his human adopted family via a dwarven runner.

Axodeth Stonecutter has fallen. This is the story they are told.

His body lies preserved in the temple of Vorax within the Runic Clan Halls on Dregar.  Those who wish to pay their last respects may do so by making the pilgrimage to these sacred halls.

Development Journals and Discussion / Re: Gladyus Reports
« on: November 30, 2008, 06:26:59 pm »
Gladyus stood in the sand filled room deep below the city of Prantz.  On each of the walls, north, south east and west was a barred portcullis.  The smell of old the sweat and blood filled the room despite the clean sand that had been raked across the floor.  Stripped to the waist Gladyus waited for the session to begin.  

His thoughts turned to his training against the goblin in the caverns filled with red light.  A lone goblin was an easy target, weak and breakable.  But two, three or more and they could be deadly.  They would seek to flank him and stick their daggers into back and vital organs.  He hated them for their skill, yet relished the combat as their attempts to backstab him would only make him stronger.  Once he had mastered the technique of awareness they would no longer be able to flank him.  Fools, all that their efforts accomplished was to grant him knowledge of their methods, and through knowledge he would gain power.

The northern of the portcullis had opened with barely a sound, a testament to the precision of true-dwarven engineering.  Gladyus caught the glimpse of thee small figures moving cautiously out of the holding chamber beyond, he was puzzled, were they merely children?  They spoke quietly in a language that he could not understand, yet recognised; Halflings.  Already slaves they now faced death for uttering those words, breaking the law of Prantz that forbid the use of foreign tongues.  The Halflings quickly spread out; each had a small blade in its hand.  One slipped behind him and out of his vision.  Moving with the speed of a viper Gladyus closed the distance to the first Halfling and struck it down with a thunderous punch to the jaw.  The second stabbed at his left flank aiming for Gladyus’s dark heart.  But the dwarf was ready for the move, twisting slightly so the knife merely struck his tough ribs and not his vitals.  Gladyus ignored the second and continued the batter the first Halfling, kicking it while it was down and ensuring that it would not rise again.  The momentum of the fatal kick allowed Gladyus’s boot to follow through and strike the second Halfling in the chest, winding it.  A sharp pain shocked Gladyus as the third Halfling sunk its blade into Gladyus’s spine, his legs buckled under him.  As Gladyus fell he heard the Halflings words 'for Pranzis, for my husband’.

Gladyus awoke in the familiar surrounding of Master Taazk’kazja’s office.  His wounds had be been healed and his robes replaced. He immediately stood to attention and bowed.  Sitting behind his desk studying his papers, Master Taazk’kazja betrayed no indication of whether Gladyus latest training session had been a success or failure.
