Development Journals and Discussion / Thompson is dead by my hand,
« on: January 18, 2016, 02:10:18 am »

Thompson is dead by my hand, vengeance has been repayed, and the scales have been evened. He struck the first blow against Kaerngully, and I struck the last. 

I was quite disappointed by Thompson, in fact. For someone I used to look up to as a criminal mastermind, he was suprisingly easy to catch. He left a bit of a boat ticket at the very place he attacked Kaerngully, he stole fake gold, and he left a clear trail to where he was burying his treasure. I snuck up on him and killed him before he could make a sound, a perfect kill. More painless then the rat deserved. But if you let vengeance get in the way of a kill, try to make it too showy, give them a chance to fight back... That's when things go wrong. Its better to do what must be done quickly and quietly.

 

Mikhail said he had nothing more to teach me after the kill. My time with Oogie, Kaerngully, and Mikhail has come to an end. Of course, I'm sure I can still call in the odd favor, and vice versa... But no more consistant work. I suppose that makes me a freelance assassin now? An assassin. Full fledged. That has a nice ring to it...

Looks like all is well for Garadel! Equipment wise I'm not worried about that, consider him taken care of!

 

Side note, I have a level one, chaotic evil barbarian who mysteriously appeared in my inventory about the time Garadel disappeared?

« on: December 07, 2015, 01:43:25 pm »

Should we (people who lost chars without a backup) make a new character with a slightly varied name then, and find a GM to bump us up xp? I'd rather deal with this sooner than later, I got all excited about the char and would like to get back to playing him.


 


Thanks!

« on: December 06, 2015, 06:46:15 pm »

My char was only level 6, I'm not horrified about the prospect of losing his copper chain mail and copper greatsword! I'd rather just go back to the XP he was at and take the 1 fortune point it would take to buy back the gear, but if its easier on the team I could start a new char and get him back up to level six quick.

Development Journals and Discussion / The elven organization has
« on: August 16, 2015, 11:43:00 pm »

The elven organization has been taken down. I infiltrated the compound, boiled an alchemist with the assistance of a kitten named Mittens, and moved through the portals until I found the room of Andremar, the sea elven mage, who was in charge of security via a system of 'eyes', magical orbs that allowed him to see almost everywhere in the compound. I had no choice but to create a globe of darkness upon the room to aviod his spells, blocking both of our sights. However, I was fortunatly able to hear his ungraceful surface elven movements, not unlike a fish out of water. He was dealt with quickly enough, a poisoned blade to the chest put an end to his miserable life. I grabbed his enchanted trident and used it to destroy his security network. The explosion that resulted threw me against the wall, an impressive display of the magical power I so easily snuffed out. I then took a portal to the room of Torres, who proved a more difficult opponent than the mage. He managed to cast a spell between my blows that deafened and stunned me. He most likely would have struck a mortal wound if not for the suprise appearance of the other assassin... A fellow follwer of the Prince of Hate. Loathe to admit it but he saved my life, releasing a volley of arrows into the pitiful surface elf. Our combined force overcame Torres. However, the assassin disappeared before we could say more than a few words. Regardless, a good portion of loot was found in the compound's treasury, and the mission was a success.

But the elves struck a blow back, their final work. The boss of our organization, Kaerngully, was wounded badly by Mr. Thompson, perhaps fataly. He is in bad shape now, the doctor does not know if he will pull through. Regardless, it does not change the fact that Mr. Thompson must be gutted like the scum he is. A revenge kill is my favorite type of kill... One I will enjoy thouroghly.

« on: July 04, 2015, 03:08:27 am »

*Kel sits down by the fireplace in his new house, exhausted from a long day of work*

Several interesting turns of events today with the organization... First and foremost, Mr. Thompson is a liar, a traitor, and a fool to cross my path.  He was selling out the organization to the elves... Mikhail and I caught him in a meeting with the elves. Mikhail put a few arrows in Mr. Thompson, and together we killed Lothario, one of the three heads of the elves. So we lost an ally in Mr. Thompson, but the elves lost a member as well. 

I also got to interogate my first victim today... A success in regards to the organization... but the assassin put a stop to the interogation before I got to information about him... by putting an arrow in the victim's forhead.

The assassin... He is a fellow dark elf, I discovered today... A kinsman. It is a shame to be fighting against a brother. Perhaps after the elves are dealt with I will face off with this assassin, perhaps in a civil manner or perhaps in a battle. Mikhail raised some questions about his motives... Perhaps he is just toying with surfacers. But Mikhail suggested he may be a shadow from my past, perhaps a victim of my family? The shadow of a shadow...

Development Journals and Discussion / Mikhail was sick,
« on: May 16, 2015, 02:14:39 pm »

Mikhail was sick, undoubtably. Rutger had said that he was infected with blood spores, a deadly poison used by those from the Deep. Perhaps that was why Kel was being trained... As a replacement for the dwarf. Mikhail had survived a miraculous two decades with the disease, the longest one can be excected to survive is a mere two years, a matter of days if left untreated.

Kel had also executed a flawless assassination of a pair of brothers, and destroyed their stash of luhix, a drug that seemed to turn the members of their cult rabid. However, on his way out, he encountered an elven assassin. Kel was shot in the shoulder by a poisoned arrow, but managed to defeat the assassin by lighting the tower he had been hiding in on fire. The assassin escaped, but Kel found one of his arrows left behind. Perhaps the arrow could be used to track down the assassin... Nobody gets away with sticking an arrow in Kelvaron.

Development Journals and Discussion / Eril'lin had been to the
« on: April 28, 2015, 12:36:18 pm »

Eril'lin had been to the Deep, to pay a visit to his Dark Elven cousins. Fearsome in combat they were, if not for the skills of an archer named Kalberen, Eril'lin feared he would have fallen. They were resistant to his magic, a firebrand only harming one or two enemies out of a group of ten. Eril'lin decided that he would need to once again begin practicing a spell of transformation. In the past he cast a spell that turned him into a great demon knight, capable of laying waste to enemies in melee combat. But it has been a long time since he cast that spell, and would need to begin practicing once again. But a spell of transformation would allow him to fight his dark cousins, who are resistant to magic, in hand to hand combat. This also could prove worthy, he thought, against the dwarven monks who reside in Prantz, the very ones who killed his brother. In the back of his mind, Eril'lin always held a hope that some day he would return to Prantz, staff in hand, to avenge his family and kick the fat dwarf off of his throne. But such a thing was unlikely to happen, and success was even more unlikely. For the time being, Eril'lin could only hone his magic.

Development Journals and Discussion / Eril'lin was busy working on
« on: April 26, 2015, 01:12:08 pm »

Eril'lin was busy working on his most recent gollem, a sword wielding suit of armor which had served him well that day. It was in need of oiling, a process Eril'lin was still getting used to. It was his first metal gollem, and he had ruined two suits with oil while he was learning.

He had been on a journey with a paladin of Lucindia, a good traveling companion. Through protecting the paladin, Eril'lin had found a new style of casting in battle. Before, when he was alone, he would confuse the enemy and rain fire upon them. In a group his tactics switched to casting wards, and firing at the enemy when it was safe. But today, fighitng goblins that were capable of sometimes dodging the fireballs he flung their way, he found mind magics to be his most effective weapon. Using spells he previously dubbed useless, such as daze, he was able to immobilize the goblins, and then made way for the paladin and his sword, who he kept hasted. This new support role was very satisfying to Eril'lin, and he thought that it could be even more useful in a larger party. A group of furious dwarves, whom he would cast mass-haste on, would cause havok on a group of confused and disoriented enemies. In his head, he thought, perhaps not dwarves. Perhaps elven warriors, something a bit more tasteful. He grinned a bit and went back to oiling the gollem.

« on: April 06, 2015, 11:59:42 pm »

I have mastered the art of crippling an enemy. It is not long before I can match my father's potential as an assassin. I have been recruited to work for the dwarf whom I worked for before, when I met Constantine. He has me working under the eye of Mikhail, a dwarf who seems to be short on words, like most of the dwarven people. However, he carries himself like a warrior. And if he has enough prowess in battle, his shortness of words is more than made up for by Mr. Thompson, the halfling of the crew. He is skilled with words, and I was told if I ever needed exotic poisons or other suplies, he would be able to coordinate it. And the last member of the dwarf's team is Oogie... I'm not sure what he... it... is. Some sort of ogre? With an oversized head? It matters not. He has impressive size and if I ever need intimidation or brute strength, he's the one to call on. Overall... The team that the dwarf has assembled is impressive, and it should be useful to complete the tasks I am assigned by the head dwarf.

« on: March 07, 2015, 06:53:23 pm »

I made large advancements in my skill today. I was in a group with a less-skilled stealth artist, and the beserker Magnus. I found my flank fighting to be very useful with him, and I saved his life on many an occasion by striking down the mage from stealth. These "assinations" saved the party several times and also allowed me to demonstrate my superiority to the foolish human, who seemed altogehter too sure of himself. Someone ought to put him in his place. But either way, he may prove useful. Vehl would be better without the Temple of Roferian... and he seems very keen to burn something down.... anything. Perhaps if his rage is directed he can prove useful.

« on: March 01, 2015, 06:06:50 pm »

I have almost mastered the art of crippling enemies. Soon enough I will be a much more effective flank fighter, weakening enemies so that the brutes can finish them off. Although this will also help fighting alone from the shadows. Strike and weaken the enemy, and make the rest of the kill much easier for yourself.

« on: February 27, 2015, 11:09:37 am »

I need work... The longer I sit idle, the more gold goes to others with my same skills. Practicing stealth and dealing quick death on goblins and orcs only does good if you can put it to work on a real target. A real job has more complications, you need to be able to think on your feet. Orcs offer no such challenge, they are quick and easy to deal with. There is little chance of a plan going wrong, a need for quick thinking or reacting. In a real job, anything could happen. A trap could be triggered, a door be unexpectedly locked. These are things I may be losing practice in dealing with, since my skills are becoming more focused towards killing.

Development Journals and Discussion / Cal'tana, the female dark
« on: February 18, 2015, 01:31:47 pm »

Cal'tana, the female dark elf, sent word to me of a job. It will be a relief to work for one of my kin, doing petty jobs to settle the squables of surfacers lost its appeal before the first job. In addition, it may be an opportunity to show my true skills to some of my kin who seem to have deemed me as useless. Hopefully, the job that awaits me is sometihng that suits my skills... An assassination. Perhaps I can earn my keep among my kin on this job. Because I know I will not fail, no matter what the task. My skill in stealth, in the shadows, is great enough that I am confident. I can handle whatever is thrown at me.

Development Journals and Discussion / One of the dark elves I have
« on: February 16, 2015, 12:30:57 pm »

One of the dark elves I have met on the surface, a female warrior skilled in wielding the katana, has decided to teach me how to flank fight. I agreed to learn, if only because when in a group of my kin, my skills cannot be demonstrated easily. The warriors tear appart their enemies, the mages call down lightning and fire, and my stealth skills are all but lost in the fight. By learning to 'flank fight', I open myself up to become more adaptable in a fight. I can go into the front lines of a battle without fear, and make my presense known. I am working on perfecting my father's technique of crippling an enemy, by striking the important muscles or where they meet tendon. These skills combined have the potential to make my existance known on the battlefield. 

But regardless of my skills on the battlefield, my true tallent will remain in stealth. The skills being taught to me for flank fighting only serve to hone my reflexes, my accuracy with a blade, and my stamina. All of these are also traits that will help me as an assassin. Because no matter what happens on a battlefield, I will know that I could slay any enemy I face if I snuck up on them, and dealt with them silently. Perhaps I can use that to my advantage among my kin to eliminate enemy mages while they deal with the warriors.

« on: February 13, 2015, 11:27:30 pm »

I must find new targets. The goblins outside of Hlint are no longer challenging to me. I know their caves, their patterns, their movements. There is no fun in stalking prey that does not stand a chance. The shadows cast by their red lights conseal me, and I walk through them unseen. I want to put my skills to use against something more worthwhile, something that could impact more than a tribe of goblins. A true stealth artist knows that there is more to stealth than aquiring personal wealth. It does not matter how rich you can become through theft and looting of dead goblins. With such power as walking through the shadows, it should be put to use shaking the foundations of this surface world.

« on: February 08, 2015, 02:39:23 pm »

I have started honing my skills in the creation of poisons. I have always dabbled in the art, in honor of the Prince of Hate. But if I want to begin developing my carreer on more options, I need more ways to kill someone than just a crossbow bolt or a knife to the back. Poisoned food is a whole new way to deal with a target, much less hands on. Most likely, less risk as well, especially if the target turns out to be a warrior or some other dangerous foe. I have to keep my options broad, because situations will always arise where one path is not viable. My father taught me that, and by honing my poison crafting skills I am heeding that advice.
