Let plotting for Round 4 begin! In this round there will be two boards again. Swords and Crew. You will each write your characters regrouping, licking wounds, and conversing after the battle. It will take place the day after the battle. Your character may start by just waking up from their battle induced sleep or in whatever position they find themselves in the day after the battle.
You will each be judged on three posts in the final round. These are the posts and how they will be judged:
Internal dialog: Basically writing your character's thoughts for an entire post. Can include flash backs, guilt, pain, joy, whatever your character would be thinking.
Judged on: Creativity, character development, and SPAG
Interaction with other characters: Basically your character interacting with other characters. Can be just one other if you decide on that. Could also be a small group. You guys can decide. (my characters that are still alive may be used in this if requested. i.e. Tim and Hooktail)
Judged on: Description, plot movement, and SPAG.
You may now begin plotting!
Time frame: Around 10AM
Weather: Clear but with storm clouds forming out at sea. Chilly wind.
General Notes:
BloodSpine crew have moved their injured and dead into boats and sailed to a close by island. Their posts will take place at or near the island.
Swords: cave dwellings have been secured. Clean up from battle is taking place.
So, should we do something with Spera and Hooktail, Brook? Seeing as I'll probably have Spera's whole story go that she blacked out after the battle, so she'd still be by the unconscious rat. ;) If not, we could have it that he ran off while she was out or something.
Seeing as how my character ran (limped?) back into the battle, Liv can find a wounded/almost dead person (or two or three or more) and try to find a way to help them since she's not one of the heavily wounded.
EDIT: Oh wait! Do we only get 3 posts this round?
If Marcus isn't found by any of the controlled characters, I'm gonna have an NPC find him... *cough*

No I think you mark three of your posts with a "*" to be judjed.

I could help you.
Why are we Judged on SPAG?
Would anyone care to find Spera? Revive her somehow? If not, I can just do an NPC or something. Hmm, maybe Joey could find her...
@everyone: you can have up to seven posts in Round 4. Mark three for judging. 1 for internal dialog and two for interaction.
@Leatho: SPAG is basic know how for role play posting. A person's SPAG says much about their role playing abilities. That is why it is judged. Plus it gives 1 objective thing to judge. Everything else is subjective judging.

You want to traumatize a small child?! ;)
I'll wait until the end of this discussion and find whoever still need finding. :D
Sora will need finding, if anyone's up for it. I plan for her to die in the end, but I was thinking maybe one of the other Swords can stumble across her, bring her back to the caves, try to assess her wounds, find out it's useless, etc. Just a thought. I guess we'll be doing that with a lot of the unconscious characters, or at least the ones that are badly injured.
Who would like to have Tim find them?
Which characters need finding? Thus far I know of...
-Sora
-Spera
-Marcus
Anyone else?
I would have said that Tim should find whoever did the best in round 3- however, all three got the same score. (I'm still upset at myself for being one point behind. I don't wanna get second again! -.-)
I know I said I was going to wait until the end of this discussion, but I have a little extra time so I'm just going to start overcontributing again. :D Tell me when I need to shut up.
I think Liv should find Sora or Spera since those three were all cavemates. My character could be just about anywhere on the battlefield right now. If I understand correctly, Sora started off relatively close to Tim and Vannøyne. I'm not sure where Vannøyne ended up, but we could pretend it was near Marcus. We could also pretend that Tim stayed relatively close to Sora (although we was too busy with his own foes to help her with her own foe ::)). Liv could end up somewhere near Spera (since she's been trying to keep an eye out for Spera most of the rpg).
Of course, this totally leaves out Xbalantie, Nevfae, and Frost. Where did they end up?
EDIT: Wow! Can you tell I've been spending most of my time with small children for the last few weeks? "Let's pretend...."

I was right next to Tim when it all started, (at the end of round 2 Navarre came up from behind me).
So I'm all for helping Marcus, what about you Ceteruler?
sure, why not? You'll have to post first, though, Marcus is out cold.
Icefire, I think Liv finding Sora would work. As far as I know, Sora and Visefang were duelling pretty close to Tim, but they also wound up extremely close to the water in the end. So just around in that area, I suppose. :)

Awesome! will do as soon as they are unlocked
hi ho! I found that it's too hard to stay away, and after reading Brook's idea of a character not really dying, I remembered how sunflash had his 'encounter with the other side' and decided to take an angle like that had have her come back like that. She's going to wander off into the woods for a short time to recover and find herself, and then return, or be found. So, it looks like I'll be around for the fourth round after all.
Yeah!!! Glad you will be still in!
@Warrior: Ok, we can do that! I'm not sure how Liv is going to get Sora back to the caves......hm......Hey! I almost forgot I have a bunch of volunteers waiting back at the caves. Anyone want to use them?
@Bloodgullet: Hooray! I was going to miss your fantastic posts.
thanks everybody! this RP has been a lot of fun, especially with all the great writers like you all on it!
Sorry I haven't been around. I had a busy weekend, but I need to be found too.
You and I are in the same situation although (I might have Brookskimmer modify something on my last post so I can still be in the 4th round) I am going to pull myself out. Maybe I can find you. I'm not sure.
Wow Brook.
"For round 4 ;D"
Why did you have to do that to us!!!!!? I clicked on the threads hoping for details you >:D.
:P ;D

ok, since you asked . . . . :) really though, I was inspired by everyones ideas and started writing what my next post will be in a text file and got a little carried away . . :) (hope you all don't mind a long post) in any case, not to give away too much, but Golfar is in a cave near a river bank to the south of the woodlanders cove. Looks like it would be a great place for those experienced with a bow to hunt and fish perhaps, maybe even a hedgehog . . . hint hint :D, or anyone really, in any case, she might need a hand, or paw to be exact. ;)
on a side note, will we need to sign the rules thing again, or will they stay the same? just wondering. thnx.
I personally like the idea of Nevfae accidentally finding Golfar and eventually deciding to help Golfar since her own life was spared.....or something like that......Wonwill?
I like that. I have nothing else to contribute, other than that Nevfae may not be all that eager to help out, seeing as her bow was broken and her eye removed by Golfar. But, to quote Le Mis, '[darned] I am to live in the debt of a thief.', that might be enough to convince her.

Thank you for that Les Mis quote....you just made my day! ;D
Quick question, how are we dealing with the duels that were never finished? (mine for example).
I've a quick question also - since it seems my character may be found by Nevfae, should I post in the 'Picking Up the Pieces' thread? It seems a likely place to go.
@Danflorreguba: You guys can decide the outcome of the various duels. I'll leave that to the pairs of duelers to decide. Then you just post from whatever the outcome was.
I wanted to let you guys know, In my last post for the dueling I said Sculrig ws dead. Brookskimmer let me edit that and I changed it to say "He was out of sight". I'm not sure how I will get to your island the rest of the vermin are on but I might swim or find a piece of wood? I also suggested earlier that I could find Vela Menkar if 321tumbler wants me too. Just something to think about.
If you don't I have an idea to make her wake up. (It might make her good in the end,but I don't know.)
You can decide what you want to happen just please tell me before the round starts :)
@Warrior and Rain: So, who is Liv finding?
Quote from: Icefire on June 02, 2013, 04:36:00 AM
@Warrior and Rain: So, who is Liv finding?
I'm okay with whichever is easier for you. If you can only do one, go for Rain and Spera, and I'll find a way to use the standby/extras in the caves. :)

I could find Spera, realize I can't get her back to the caves by myself, and find Sora on my way to get help....then I can go on about how everyone who's ever lived with me has died or seriously wounded.....I hadn't even considered that until now! My character is rather depressing!
How serious are Spera's wounds again, Rain?
Um, she has a gash (long but not really deep) in her side, half of an ear is gone, and she has a deep slice in her forehead. Other than that, just sheer exhaustion and shock would be her problem. ;)
Hm....think she could make it back to the caves with Liv's help? Then they could find Sora on the way and all three cavemates can be united in the midst of this awful scene......or not. What do you guys think? I'll go with whatever you guys think is best. We can call on Derik to help at least one of the squirrel damsels in distress. :)
Sure, I think that'll work for me. If she leans (rather heavily) on Liv, Spera should be good... ish... ;)
Do you think it would be a good idea to have someone come up to our characters and tell them the fight is over, Danflorreguba?
@Redwaller -
Since Gavin-Asher is first mate, and Visefang is dead, are you going to have your character start rounding up your crew and heading them out? That is, I think he's dead anyway, but I'll double check.
edit: yes, he's dead ->
QuoteThe King of all Seas was dead, his life justly taken by the Swords of Freedom.
or, maybe in your character's weakened condition, someone could start a mutiny and take over as captain , just some ideas.
@Rain and Ice: Those plans sound good to me. ;D I need to go back and reread my duel, though, just to find out what my own casualties are. Haha. I fail sometimes.
Yeah, I just remembered my character has broken ribs. This should be interesting....
Yeah I was still in the middle of mine I think I can weedle it out though!
Ok, the new threads are going up either tonight or tomorrow... sorry for the delays...
What should happen with my character?
Romsca, where did you leave off in the tournament?
I lay injured on the beach
Has any one thought of one of the good beasts helping a near death vermin?
Quote from: Romsca on June 04, 2013, 01:23:24 PM

Well, my character is going to pull himself out from the marsh then I'm going to make my way to the island that the rest of the crew retreated to so if you ever wanted me to find you I could.

I haven't thought of that before. I don't think my character will do it because I'm am the highest ranking member of the Bloodspine crew ;D

Wait, how are you going to do that? Didn't Sculrig break his back or something? If he did, possibly the best idea would be to either have another player help or pull in some NPCs. I dunno, I just can't see someone with a broken spine climbing out of the marsh. ;)
Well, I almost fractured my backbone. If I did I would have just died there :P. Actually my character has a minor cut on his stomach, The aegis almost fractured his back causing a bruise, her sword cut him in the back deeply, His breath was knocked from him with a punch to the stomach, and he is still out of breath from being under the marsh for a long time. I think that covers it! I've been checking back alot because I want to get one of the first posts to start off. ;)
@Brook, are the rest of the crew already at the island or are they going to go there in the next round?
What island is this? I think I missed the whole island thing.
It said in Brook's second post that we needed to all head to an island with the wounded. The Bloodspine crew I mean.
Ah! I missed that!
The vermin moved their dead? That doesn't sound like them!
More of their wounded but that really doesn't sound like them.
@Icefire: They need to take their injured in order for all of the characters to arrive there.
The rest will be explained in my opening post for the thread.
When are you going to unlock the threads?

Do you think it would be a good idea to have someone come up to our characters and tell them the fight is over, Danflorreguba?
@Danflorreguba: So...... I haven't heard your opinion yet.
Ok Round 4 is finally up! Sorry for delays... life has been crazy busy for me the last week or so. Anyway, details can be found in the opening posts I've made. Read both threads to get the full picture of what is going on.
These threads start the late morning after the fight.
The weather is humid and sunny. (uncomfortable)
Vermin and goodbeasts are in their own threads.
There are examples of "internal dialogue" in my opening posts. It's not a ton of dialogue and a lot of description and that will work fine for being judged.
Swords Info:
The injured were quickly moved to one area after the fight by those willing and able to help move them.
No tending has been done to any character yet, they were just moved up the shore away from the sea a little.
Tim took a major part in getting the moving done and sent Visefang dead out to sea.
BloodSpine:
Five boats took all remaining crew away from the coast in an escape effort. The rest of the crew not on the boats is dead.
They floated through the night and happened upon the island.
The island is called Kerric Isle. It is flat, about mid sized for an island, sandy, desolate, and had large groves of coconut trees.
The crew is stranded unless a ship happens to see them and wants to rescue them. Play as if they are preparing for a rather lengthy island get away.
Everything in these first two posts is negotiable. If it messes too much with your plans let me know and we will work it out. Remember, things like how your character got into the boat and ended up out at sea or what they did when they realized the fighting was over would fit great into your first post in this thread. It would be your character's thoughts.
Have fun you guys! Time for getting this round in will be about a week and a half, I have not completely decided yet.
Repost:
You will each be judged on three posts in the final round. These are the posts and how they will be judged:
Internal dialog: Basically writing your character's thoughts for an entire post. Can include flash backs, guilt, pain, joy, whatever your character would be thinking.
Judged on: Creativity, character development, and SPAG
Interaction with other characters: Basically your character interacting with other characters. Can be just one other if you decide on that. Could also be a small group. You guys can decide. (my characters that are still alive may be used in this if requested. i.e. Tim and Hooktail)
Judged on: Description, plot movement, and SPAG.
So, we don't need to find the wounded/unconscious or do we do it in flashback?
I might start my first post off with how Sculrig got himself out of the swamp and then he can find a way to get to the island. I wouldn't be able to get on the boats but if it's okay I will find another way to the island.
The post I've been working on requires that Nevfae hasn't been found. Mind if I add something about her wandering further than the rest of the swords in her fight?
Yes, you guys can place your characters where ever you want. It could just be assumed that the gathering beasts didn't find them.
Oh, and the posts that are up are GREAT!!
What is up with all of the Swords posts being so long? I feel like when I post, it's gonna be some lame, two-to-three paragraph post that basically does nothing. :P Y'all are makin' me nervous here! ;)
EDIT: Ugh, I hope that last post was okay. I was being rushed to finish, so I didn't get to do all I wanted, but was that okay?
@Spera and Warrior: How do you two want to play this now? It appears Spera still needs finding, but the way the first post was set up I would guess that Sora was already found. I mean, who would leave their own comrade lying on a beach bleeding to death just to take care of an already dead enemy? So, my question is, Warrior, do you still want Liv to "find" Sora in a flashback and then later, Rain, go back in search of Spera? I await your replies.
@Rain: It would be implied at this point that any character not found right away was not seen for whatever reason. Tim wouldn't just leave beasts laying on the beach if he saw them. Just info to move things along here. :D
I start to read a good book and then this all starts! My jaw almost dropped out of my mouth when I saw you alls posts. My post will look idiotic and irrelevant, man you guys are good writers...says the guy that want's to write a book some day. Just think about all the wrong SPAG that would be in my post!
Well better get started.
YOur posts ae great too Leatho!
For anyone that is part of the Bloodspine Crew, can someone maybe find me lying on the beach on the island?
@Ice: Uh, well, seeing as Tim is supposed to find all of us, (and I really need to move along with my posting (I had a huge amount more that was going to be me starting to walk/crawl back to the caves, find Liv (or vice versa) and travel back together, but it was EXCEEDINGLY late, so I had to get off)) I don't know how this is gonna work. If it's alright with Brook, maybe I could still have Spera sorta stumble along and get found by Liv (or, once again, vice versa, maybe), then we find Sora and get found by Tim? Sort of a little group of characters found? I dunno, my brain isn't functioning too well, but that's my thought as to what could happen.
@Brook: Yeah, I was having trouble figuring out what time, where Spera was, etc., so I didn't exactly know how it was going to play out, plus, as previously stated, I did have a bunch more I was going to put, but I didn't have the time to write it, so that was kind of a fail. :P
Danflorreguba is MIA.
He just got back. Check the discussion thread.
Ok, so which one of the Swords is going to rescue me? And when's the deadline?

:P :P :P :P :P :P >:D
Our Internet Modem ceased to work. We just got it back late Thursday.
:P to you too, dann. Just kidding. Welcome back. :) You missed the start of Round 4. The only thing I can recommend is jump right in with some inner dialogue talking about how you last left off and how your character is faring after the fight and blah blah blah. ;D If you need any help, a lot of people (myself included) have talked about their character visiting the Dark Forest/place of death/whatever you choose to call it briefly and meeting a loved one or something. Just a tip.
@Rain: Sorry, I totally missed that post. I missed all of the posts on that page, actually. Whoops. Anyhow, I think it's fine. Liv can go about her own thing now that Sora's been automatically found. Thanks anyways. Now I just need to go back and edit in for the part where she's 'automatically found' because I skipped the Swords info notice. >.> What I get for being careless, I guess. Oh well.
Ok, then! I'll just write some depressing post about my depressing character, have her find Spera, and maybe they can make it back in time to bid Sora farewell....or something.....
Navarre is in the Sword section now?
Okay, Ice, I lined it up so that Spera hears a familiar voice, so I hope I gave you an opportunity to find her. She got knocked out, so you'll probably have to revive her, but if you want Liv to shout out, that would be the best way to line it all up. If not, it could just be an NPC or something that she heard. And if you're okay with the idea, Ice and Brook, are we gonna have it that they struggle to make it to the caves and are discovered by either Tim or NPCs?
Can you guys Please Please slow down, I haven't even had the time to read you alls posts!! Really, I just can't keep up. :(
Sorry! I'm trying to keep my posts shorter than SOME players I know. ;) (I'm just kiddin' you guys. Those were pretty darn awesome posts if I do say so myself, even if they were long)
@Leatho: Same here! I'll almost catch up when I have to go do something else...and come back to three new posts! What?! :o
I'm all caught up now, though, so I'm going to add to your catch up time. Sorry! :P
@Rain: I was planning on pulling in Derik, but Tim could help out instead. Brook?
EDIT: So, it's nearly 1am (what happened there?) so I hope my post made sense. I cut it off before getting Spera back to the caves, but I'm closer....
YAY!! Someone found me! I'm not the liddle ole lonesome squiddel anymore!

Also can somone ffind my character on the island lying down on the beach?
Another thing, aren't some of the members on here that were assigned on the Bloodspine crew, shouldn't they be posting in the "Lost Dreams" thread? Redwaller and I are the only ones that have posted so far.

'Squiddel' is squirrel, only spelled wrong. I think Dan was the one who started it, and I just kinda caught on. Lol, I call all squirrels 'squiddels' now, so it drives my dog crazy. :P (Yes, she knows what a squirrel is)

But, I can't quite remember, ugh, this will bother me, now I have to pull the books off the shelf and look. oh, well, that's not that unpleasant anyway. :D

NO!

hey all, this is something I just thought of and wondered about everyone's opinion: since it seems we're all battered and bloody and pretty much out of sorts, perhaps we could do a time jump thing soon, where we say, "oh, two months have passed by, blah, blah, blah . . ." or some such thing, just to give them time to heal and get back into doing something other than staggering around and such. Not that I mind writing about it and all, and everyone's posts are great and all, but . . . it might get a little dry soon, just a bunch of injured beasts and all :D just sayin' is all :D but, what you folks want to do is ok by me. I think in the next post or two I can have my character wander back to the caves, perhaps with a little help, and try to convince the swords that she is on their side now. but, it seems a little early yet, and everyone is still recovering, which is why I thought a bit of time would do them good. anyway, just an idea.
BJ had some of the vermin say something similar.... "SquiGGel," not "Squiddel." And yes, I did coin the phrase squiddel.... Just one of those random things I did somewhere along the line, drove everyone crazy for a couple of months. ;D
I have my post written out, but I'm waiting for danflorreguba's OK.
That's fine :)
......I replied to his PM a while ago..... where is he?
He was on this morning...
Quote from: PluggFiretailHe noticed a procession of beasts carrying a stretcher with Navarre on it.

I changed it.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Could some of the crew post? We're running out of time
When's the deadline?
I don't know.
Jeez, leave for a morning and everyone thinks you've vacated. :P
You've still got lots of time. Around a week... yes that works I think how about:
June 19th deadline
Ok!
@Redwaller, is the Fox in your post Sculrig? If so, Thanks!
and I haven't posted yet. -.- And I don't know what Marcus is going to do when it comes to interacting with others.
hope I'm not bugging you all with all these silly ideas, but I figure it doesn't hurt to toss 'em out :)
what I was thinking is that, first vermin are predictable, and second, not very smart, so, I'm thinking that if they were all sitting around an island, it would not take long for the food to run low, and beasts to start fighting among themselves since there's no leader yet, and with the weather, (hot, cold or rainy), it would not be long before they collectively started grumbling about their condition, blame it on the captain, and then when they realize again the he's not there (they're not too bright), start blaming their trouble on the swords. so, I think a good way to wrap up the story would be a surprise second attack or night raid that then finally gets everyone to leave or . . . . :) I could just about hear them saying things like "I bet all them cave dwellers have lot's o'food" or, "why do we have to be so miserable, and hot/cot/wet when those woodlanders are all snug and dry in their caves?" Yar har, to arms! me hearties!
Hey! Sorry, Rain, if you've been waiting on me to post. Sorry to anyone waiting on me. I fully intended to write a post tonight, but I'm barely keeping my eyes open here (and it's only 9:45!) I'll do my best to post tomorrow.
@Rain: Do you want to wake up before you get back to the caves or do you want me to get you back to the caves first?
where are Nevfae and Golfar in relation to the caves? For some reason I can't seem to figure that out.
I believe they both wandered south to some wooded area, but I'm not competely certain either.
I'll attempt to post later this afternoon. If I don't post this afternoon, I'll post late tonight.

yes, in a wooded area south of the caves. she wandered south along the coast and then went inland (east?) for a ways, so I suppose actually south-east(ish) :)
thinking about heading back soon, or you all can feel free to join us over there, nice and peaceful by the river :D
well... I don't know if Marcus will. From what I'm getting off of him he wants to kill himself. o.o
yikes! well, perhaps he just needs a change of scenery? :) or some beast he can help and then feel better about himself? Let me know if you want my character to help.
He wants to see his family again. That's all I'll say. You can do what you want. :P
@Ice: Erm, maybe you drag me to the cave first? That would probably be a bit easier so we don't have to go on with long conversations whilst struggling in the sand. Plus, with wounds like that, I doubt Spera'll want to wake up. ;) Sure, they may not be overly bad, but still, with blood loss and such, I think she'll be unconscious for awhile, so it'd be okay with me for you to just drag her as far as possible. :)
@Tam: Where, exactly, is Sculrig on the island? Is he returning to the exact spot on the beach where he was, or another part of the island?
He could be pretty much anywhere on the beach. He will probably be returning somewhere around the same spot.
@Rain: Got it. I'll try to move her and then call on Derik to help me. Maybe I'll have him place her next to Sora-ish.......hm..... Thoughts?
@Ceteruler: Pleeeaaaasssee don't take it that direction! Marcus doesn't seem the type to take the coward's way out. That's just my opinion, though...
Ice, I think it would be a good idea. All three (Spera, Liv, Sora) are roommates, after all. We could have a nice final discussion. :)
Icefire: With Marcus's head wound, there's probably some brain damage going there. When he wakens, he's gonna be delirious about finding his wife, and, well, maybe he won't necessarily kill himself on purpose, but he seems very doomed unless someone can stop him. Which basically means being present and able to function normally. :P
I'm still reading you all's posts.
@Ceteruler: Maybe this would be a good place for Tim to step in? Or perhaps Vannøyne? Vannøyne was considering his own lost love after all....
@Everyone else: I'm finally posting! (So much for Friday! :P)
EDIT: I got my post typed out and then my internet shut down on me.....I hate it when that happens! Attempt number 2!
Edit 2: Done! Rain, let me know if I said something I shouldn't have or got your wounds all wrong or something and I'll change it. I may have got your paw wounds mixed up with mine....that or we ended up with very similar wounds!
Well, actually, Spera had no paw wounds. Though, if you don't want to try and edit, it could be that Liv, worried for her friend, mistook the blood on Spera's paws for wounds instead of just blood from her side. And also, maybe Spera coulda stepped on a rock or something. ;)
Anyway, yaaaayyyyy!!!! Somebeast is grieving for Spera!!! She's not all alone!! :P
Stink! I did get Liv's confused with Spera's! :P I'll change it.
Edit: Changed. Thoughts?
I FINALLY POSTEEEEED! :D :D :D
I've been so darn busy! (how ironic) Forced the time to post in today, and I was actually able to be happy with it. :) Also got to drop some things I've both enjoyed and hated.

I know the feeling. Try working full time.
Did you write that post before I finished my post? You might want to bring Xbalantie all the way to where the wounded are gathered since none of my characters heard her question.
I read your post (I was in the middle of mine) and they were only loading Spera onto the stretcher at that point.
Sorry, my internet was freaking out and I had to post and edit said post three times before I got to the final product. Like I said on anotherthread, internet is a blessing and a curse.
Ice: yeah, probly.
can the deadline be extended a little bit? Maybe it was my fault but it seems like not a lot of time. :P
Erg, I really need to post! Ice, I'm thinking my next post will be Spera waking up in that cave, possibly being attended to, so do you want Liv to still be there? Or are you thinking that she'd be off getting others to safety or getting her wounds checked or something?
And I agree with Ceteruler, I dunno about anyone else, but this round has been hard for me!

hey all, this is something I just thought of and wondered about everyone's opinion: since it seems we're all battered and bloody and pretty much out of sorts, perhaps we could do a time jump thing soon, where we say, "oh, two months have passed by, blah, blah, blah . . ." or some such thing, just to give them time to heal and get back into doing something other than staggering around and such. Not that I mind writing about it and all, and everyone's posts are great and all, but . . . it might get a little dry soon, just a bunch of injured beasts and all :D just sayin' is all :D but, what you folks want to do is ok by me. I think in the next post or two I can have my character wander back to the caves, perhaps with a little help, and try to convince the swords that she is on their side now. but, it seems a little early yet, and everyone is still recovering, which is why I thought a bit of time would do them good. anyway, just an idea.
Maybe there could be a fifth round for what happens to our characters. Like we write the end of the story.
I agree with people here. A time extend would really be helpful.
@Rain: Yeah, leave Liv there.
@Rain & Warrior: Either of you can use Derik and/or Berach if you need an extra. They're nice and close.
@Brook: Can we please have more time?
One week extension to the deadline!
HOORAY! Thank you! :)
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
YAY!
@Tam: Is it ok that Sculrig doesn't respond when Navarre tries to wake him up? If not, I can edit my post
You can do whatever but Our scores will also be judged off of character interaction so it might be better for him to wake up.
WHAT'S THE DEADLINE!? Sorry for shouting, but I'm under posted! :(
Uh....Tommorrow.
Quote from: Tam and Martin on June 18, 2013, 07:57:51 PM

@Redwaller, is the Fox in your post Sculrig? If so, Thanks!
Sorry, I didn't see your comment. But yes, the "mad fox" is Sculrig when he shot out of the sea with a shark on his tail.
absolutely, Leatho.
Awesome!

Quote"The battle is done and we have won," Said the young mouse as his eyes looked over the dead and fleeing vermin. "Many a beast has fallen; some will be remembered, others forgotten. But we all have left a mark on these shores, we have quenched the thirst of the sand with are blood, we have made the birds fly from their roosts with are battle cries." Vannøyne's words drifted on the wind.
His eyes fell on the burnt wood of the devils ship that had brought death. He saw the dead and wounded Swords. Walking over to some he found them dead, he laid their stiff and cold paws on their chests, and gave them a respectful silence. "Thank you friend, for giving your life to protect these shores." His heart was hardened by so much death that he did not shed tiers.
That, "are," is supposed to be an, "our," and those, "tiers," are supposed to be, "tears." ;)
Thanks bro!
Results are in for the Round 1 soundtrack.
Looks good for the sound track! Love it :D
Just a few more days to go in Round 4! All the posts look really great. Good work you guys!!!!
and if anyone was wondering regarding my post, yes, it's Joan. :P
Nevfae is a hedgehog. I believe you referred to her as a mouse. I may be mistaken.
er. yes. Sorry about that. *goes to fix*

Great post btw :D
thanks. I wrote this in kinda a hurry, not surprised there's a lot of typos. -.-
Ok, I'm a little confused. Sora and Spera are next to each other, right? And Liv is in between them? I'm going to make a bunch of assumptions and attempt to fit it all together in mind and post. We'll see if it works.
EDIT: Should I change it?
wow, great posts everyone! I'll have to really put my thinkin' cap on to keep up! ok, so the story I have brewin' so far may entail 'borrowing' the little mouse Joey if that's ok by you all (I couldn't remember who's character that was), so I thought I would ask first. I promise he will be returned unharmed. :)
I'll be typing it up tonight and tomorrow, and hope to to post by lunch (or maybe dinner :) )

It looks awesome, Ice. I just put my last one in, so it's all over for me now. :)
@Everybody: I wish you all the best of luck.
Wow, Warrior! "Let me just write this super emotional death scene and spend most of it explaining why you shouldn't cry when it's over." :P ;D
Seriously, though, FANTASTIC post! I think I've decided Sora is my favorite character!

He's somewhere near the wounded at the moment. Rainshadow added him in her post.
Yesterday I was modifying my post, and I had a good job done, and I thought, "I don't want to lose all this." So I copied everything and went to open a document and paste it there, when I saw that the Paste option was gray. "WHAT!? I lost everything!" And I was feeling desperate. But then I started over, and it turned out way better! So I'm feeling good now. 8)
are Liv, Spera, Xbalantie and Spera in the same cave as Marcus? it's kind of hard for me to tell.
Did my post make sense?
Okay, I haven't read them yet, but I will do that after this post, so this may be edited...
@Blood: Yes, I'm totally fine if you use Joey. Currently I picture him to be sitting in one end of the infirmary cave, but he (in my mind) is of the type that will just drop whatever they're doing and wander. So it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to have him put down his whittling and walk outside. :)
@Ceteruler: I believe so. I just assumed that they had one cave for all the wounded, so I've started calling it the 'infirmary cave'. :P
@Warrior: Oh my goodness! That post was beautiful! I felt as if I was going to cry when I read that! Good job, I say, good job!
@Ice: I'm sorry, I know this is supposed to be an emotional scene, but I was cracking up when I read this:

Haha! I know, right? I was trying to be all serious, but I couldn't resist that one.
I've been having a harder time this round. It's strange. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just that I'm having a hard time finding time to write a decent post. :P
...and I thought I was busy before!
*laughter from all the more experienced*
Whatever. I'll rest when I'm dead.
It's not just you, I've been having a harder time this round aswell, I think it's b/c there was more reading in this one, and it's the last round so every one is doing their best.
@Ceteruler: Btw, totally loving this plot twist wih Joan! I so didn't see that coming!
thanks Ice. To tell you the truth.... neither did I. XD
well, my post is up. sorry if I did a little auto-ing there Wonwill, but it just seemed to flow and fit the thread of the story the best. It seems to fit her character development also. Thanks, Rainshadow for 'loaning' me Joey. He is safe back with the swords. :D
Did you do it on purpose to be on the other thread?
Quote from: Redwaller on June 22, 2013, 08:38:32 PM
Did you do it on purpose to be on the other thread?
yep, it may be confusing, but if you read through the post for that character, you can see how she 'transitioned' into someone for the other side and interacted more with them, so it made sense to post there.
Don't worry, she got her pirate's "reward" for betraying the crew! ;D
*curls up and sobs* First Sora, now Golfar. When will it end?
Beautiful posts, everybody.
I was sad when I read The posts about Sora.....Sad.
@Ice: THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D Confused? Understandable. I was trying to fit in that she was smiling slightly, but written out that would have seemed UN-sympathetic. ::)
Why does everyone have to die!
BTW: Looking for feedback on the transition. (Xbalanties' personality) Good? Bad? Don't ever try something like that again? I've played goofy characters and serious characters, but this one is a little strange to play.
How much time do we have left? I still need to make at least one more post.
I think we have like 4 or 5 days left. I think.
I want to ask all of you who read my posts, does it seem realistic that Sculrig keeps fainting away then feels strong again? I was thinking it could be like a pain where it will hurt sometimes but then he will be normal the next. I'm just not sure.
I finished editing my third post, and marked my posts.
@Dann: We have until Wednesday. I think the transition is fine albeit abrupt. That said, we've all gone through some abrupt transitions this round. Funny how a battle can do that to you...
So, I always start on the plotting thread before seeing what's happened on the actual thread. I was sooooo confused! Great posts, folks! I'll see if I can jump in somewhere else.
IDEA!!!!!! (Mostly for Brook, but I need everyone's input to see if this is even a good idea.)
This is the final round, correct? After the scoring is done, blah, blah, blah, could we have one final thread where we can each write one final epilogue-like post for our characters? Does that make sense? Or we could have an epilogue set a season after (not to be judged....just for the fun of it?) Even the dead could get in on the action with a post from Dark Forest.
@Leatho: Do you mind if I reference our original idea for the search for Martin? I was hoping to keep that plot for future Aegis fics...
*Claps hands* Good job, Won and Blood, you succeeded in making the part of the story that got me the closest to tears. For the record, I didn't cry, but I started to choke up. Oh, great, NOW I'm crying. Ugh. I need sleep. That's what I need, not reading the tournament. Especially not the sad parts.
Good job!
Grrrrrrr! I just wrote this relatively long post and went to post it only to be logged out! I hate it when that happens.... I even made sure to click the "stay logged in" button before I started! :P
...and now my device is almost dead! :(
QuoteNevfae serious...what next?
That cracked me up!
wow, I had to check the posts after getting back from being out (ok, I admit, I'm a little caught up in it all) - fantastic job everyone! Wonwill, what a perfect response! that was awesome - really like the mole dude! I really appreciate how you guys worked it in with your posts as well. I like the idea of a epilog, maybe just let everyone have one last post to wrap it up sort of thing, even if its a story 'from beyond' :) It would be great to see this compiled into the fan fiction, but then, maybe that's overkill. anyway, for a first RP, this has been great!
Fanfiction is hardly ever overkill! Well, sometimes, but those time are when you got a Doctor Who, Sherlock, Harry Potter, Supernatural, Redwall crossover or something. That's overkill, though it may be fun to write...
Anyway, if there were to be a fanfiction of this, some people would have to smooth out the posts, make them flow better, clump them into good, readable chunks, make a clearer ending(if the ending hasn't resolved itself when we're done). I vote me, for one. It would be fun, getting everything together. Adding your own little quirks(within reason, o' course). There's loads someone could do, making this into a fanfiction.
I've considered converting other RPGs into fics. In the end, it just seemed like too much time to spend on a story that had already been written. The main benefit I can see is the elimination of contradictions within the plot.
Since I was the one to say there should be a fifth round, I obviously say yes.
I'd love for there to be a fifth round. Then Joan would have a chance to tell her survival story. ^_^ That's obviously not happening this round.
Speaking of- so there's two vermin left that need to be taken care of?
Actually, I think that, by Golfar's calculations, they should all be taken care of now, but the Swords have no way of knowing that.
oh, okay, then.
What do you mean by "Taken Care of"
neutralized, I'm guessing. :P
Sorry, yes. Basically, the caves are safe, but they don't know that.
Ok!
Icefire, I had a similar idea to yours, I was thinking about possibly making a continuation RP (non tourny style though). Thoughts?
@Icefire, sure thing! Feel free to do so, as well as use my character any time to you want.
BTW about my last post, I just had to use my signature some time, so why not my last post. :D
That was most likely my last post in this round, b/c I am going to a week long camp starting this Monday. :)
Hey everybody, just wanted to say thank you for all the compliments. My goal was to make you cry, just so you know. ;)
And what's this I hear about a continuation or a fanfiction centered on the RP?
@Leatho: Thanks and nice touch!
@Dann: YES! Maybe I'm not crazy!
...or we're both crazy. Whatever...
@Warrior: Not nice! "I'm just gonna write this long emotional post that repeats over and over again that you shouldn't cry knowing full well that you will cry. HA!"
Well I succeeded in my endevour to read it without crying!
We're talking about having a final round (not judged) as a sort of epilogue. Even the dead could get in on the action with a post from Dark Forest!
There was also talk about someone going through and basically revising the rpg so it's more of a fanfic.
So far, it's all just talk.
I was sniffing a lot and couldn't see real clearly, BUT I WASN'T CRYING!!!!!
Great post! ;D
@Everyone! I am hoping to write a series of fanfics about the Aegis family. Are any of you firmly opposed to me using your characters in my stories? If I write something concerning your character that you don't like, I will change it.
I'm fine with you using Spera in any of your fanfics. Though, she'd probably be really young in them if you're planning to do them when Liv was young. ;)
Nevfae is open as well, though you probably won't find much use for her unless she's a dibbun for Liv to chase after. You can also use either of my mole-characters, both mentioned in this thread if you want.
Also, on a side note, I really got to know Nevfae in this round. But there's one thing that's bothering me: is it realistic for her to of become who she is today because of a close friend that died when they were young, making her revert to silliness and jokes to cope with her loneliness?
And then to suddenly grow up when faced with the death of another friend? Makes sense to me.
Thank you, Wonwill and Rainshadow. Yeah, you're both significantly younger than my character (Whoa! She's the oldest of the Swords!), but some of the story takes place later when you're both older. Maybe I'll force Liv and Nevfae to work together on something after all....or not. I'm not really sure where this story will take me.
Ice, sure, yeah, but remember if it's before Joan was kidnapped, Marcus was actually a really nice guy. :P
Thank you! I will keep that in mind.
@Ice: No problem with you using Sora, even though there's a huge age gap between them. :D
Also, do you mind if I borrow your fanfic idea? I already planned out a fic about Sora (for someone so young, a lot has happened to her) and I just haven't found the time to type it up.
Just to put my opinion out there: I like the idea of an entire RP fanfic. I volunteer as tribute! ;D No, really, I wouldn't mind helping coordinate/write something like that. Sounds like it would be good for anyone who really doesn't want to take the time to find and read all the rounds and posts. We can sort of condense it all into a blob of a fanfic to make it a little easier.
...with all the writing we're planning, it seems we may overrun the fanfiction board lol.
Please write a fic about Sora! I want to know more about her!
As for overrunning the fanfiction board.....LET'S DO IT! ;D
I would volunteer to hep with the tourney fanfic, but my lack of time would render me very unhelpful. :P I'm going on vacation Thursday through Sunday so I'm hoping to make some progress on my Aegis fics.
I'd really like to continue this story rather than go right to fanfics, but there's a rather large problem. Who besides myself is actually willing to keep the story rolling? It will be a lot harder without a drive to actually make posts (you know, without tournament backing?)
BTW: I didn't cry either.
I'm probly going to help overrun the fanfic board by writing about Joan's escape from death. :p
I for one will write the back story of Gasher.
Yeah, and I'll probably write the story of Spera and her father's escape from Mossflower at some point. ::)

Are you talking the epilogue round? ME ME ME ME ME!!!! You're right. It's harder to keep a rpg going without the extra encouragement of a score, etc. We tried to continue the 1st tournament, but that didn't go so well. (hence the reason my character survived....I was thinking of killing her off.) However, it is possible. After all, we've completed regular rps, haven't we?
I think we should have another "bonus" round about how the Swords are eventually defeated. ;D
....if we don't I'll just write a fic about it.

Wow, Icey-Ice. XD I agree with you, though. I support the idea of an epilogue story and I'm willing to help, but it'll take a lot of planning. About the Swords eventually being defeated in a bonus round...no way, the good guys always win! :P Just kidding, though I was thinking more along the lines of what happens afterwards. Like, all the rebuilding, character developement, etc. Stuff like that.
@dannflorreguba: What do you think the plotline of the epilogue thing should be? (Btw, about you not crying: :P How could you be so cold? Just kidding, I didn't really expect many people to actually cry, no matter how much emotion I put into it. :) )

I'd really like to continue this story rather than go right to fanfics, but there's a rather large problem. Who besides myself is actually willing to keep the story rolling? It will be a lot harder without a drive to actually make posts (you know, without tournament backing?)
BTW: I didn't cry either.
Are you talking the epilogue round? ME ME ME ME ME!!!! You're right. It's harder to keep a rpg going without the extra encouragement of a score, etc. We tried to continue the 1st tournament, but that didn't go so well. (hence the reason my character survived....I was thinking of killing her off.) However, it is possible. After all, we've completed regular rps, haven't we?
I think we should have another "bonus" round about how the Swords are eventually defeated. ;D
....if we don't I'll just write a fic about it.
Wow, Icey-Ice. XD I agree with you, though. I support the idea of an epilogue story and I'm willing to help, but it'll take a lot of planning. About the Swords eventually being defeated in a bonus round...no way, the good guys always win! :P Just kidding, though I was thinking more along the lines of what happens afterwards. Like, all the rebuilding, character developement, etc. Stuff like that.
@dannflorreguba: What do you think the plotline of the epilogue thing should be? (Btw, about you not crying: :P How could you be so cold? Just kidding, I didn't really expect many people to actually cry, no matter how much emotion I put into it. :) )
Oh, I'm talking multiple bonus rounds now. So far, it seems as though everyone likes the idea of an epilogue to show how they moved on, etc. I'm talking about a round after that in which they get defeated. Legend of Luke and Mossflower both reference the tribe's defeat.
Could one of the kinder Swords find me please?
Are you near us? I haven't seen your post.
She feinted right next to the caves
Em.... are we almost ready to close out the round? I can't remember or find for that matter... where I posted the end date for the round...
The end date is technically supposed to be tomorrow. Are we ready? I've got my minimum post count in, but I'd be willing to keep going if need be.
I'd continue willingly if others want, 'cos I haven't interacted with anyone yet(which I was going to do now).
I'm waiting for Romsca to post so I can make my last and I can fit some interaction in.
I only have three posts- do I really need to mark them for judgement? :p
Hey, Dann, the sentence, 'Thou has made a grave mistake, coming to these shores! You will not live to make that mistake again!'
The 'has' should be 'hast' if you're going to use thou. And you should also change the 'you' to thou if your're gonna type in 'old-speak'. You is used as a respectful you, while thou is used as a not-so-respectful you.
Look at me, correcting the old-grammar when I'm pretty terrible at new-grammar. :D I really do know old-grammar better than new.
EDIT: Tum, Nevfae could find your character.

What should I do?
Well, I got the minimum number of posts in, and I don't think that Spera can really do anything else. She's too injured to get up and walk around, and there's really nothing else I can have her do, other than talk to Joey or something. So, yeah, I'm pretty ready for the round to be over. :P
Talk to me I was thinking. Maybe about your duel with "Vannoyne" so we can score on character interaction.
@Brook: I'm ready. I'm dead now, actually, so there's not really much else I can do.

Haha, true! :P
Ok, thanks for the input guys :D I'm going to do the judging for the final round on Saturday so you all can have til then to finish what you want to. ;D

Thanks Won, but I already knew that. ;) I don't think you can really peg someone for SPAG when the character is speaking, it's when you make the mistakes in the post outside of talking (IE describing the scenery) that you can get spagged. ;) (I
THINK)
@Redwaller, do you want me to spot Gasher or not?
I'm out of town for the weekend. Just so you all know. :)
I never would have noticed the "thou" and "hast" thing Wonwill... however, SPAG in character's speaking is judged. Not things like thou and hast, but general SPAG should still be taken into account.

Just bringing this back up so that I can be nursed back to health and finish up my "story".

I meant more along the line of beasts having speech impediments, or just being bad talkers. (when people talk, Grammar goes out da window)
I realized now I made my last post so I guess I can't post any more :'(
