Tower of the Deep

[KitrallStreamrippler]

OOC: Rus, you're so confusing on my tired brain! Is he accidentally caught in the melée between Dusk, Murlo, and the shadow-fox-thing?

OOC: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! The shadow fox thing is he who walks in shadows from the post I made in the OOC, seeing as Norham was no longer GMing the RP I decided to add him in (along with some other elemental spirits, you can look to the obelisks from my puzzle post to discover their elements) if he is Rusvul then that means he heard the entire exchange between Murlo and Dusk, attacked them first, insulted them and more. It would also mean he can fly, his powers have been modified completely by the green orb and that you're giving him up for me to auto him because, regardless of your post, I fully intend to continue the original plotline I had in my head for him. It would have been nice if you asked before autoing my character

[Rusvul]

OOC: Okay, okay, fine. I'll remove my post. Keep your fur on. I wasn't sure what else to do with Rus, as he's knocked out. Rus can't fly, he never did. I'm not sure where you got that from. I was intending for Rus's powers to be modified by the orb, and at no point did I say "I give up my only character in this RP for someone else to auto". Might I suggest something that might have happened, since this tower is so darn confusing? If you want, I'll still remove my post. Just hear me out.

Perhaps He Who Walks in Shadows has no physical form. Maybe he's taken control of Rus, from the exterior making Rus look like a shadowy cloaked figure. If Rus spoke, HWWIS would have changed his words to be agressive. With the influence of HWWIS, he would have chosen aggression rather than caution, and struck first. And, also have been turned into more of a mage by HWWIS. After this battle, he'll return to his normal steel-slingin' self. With, of course, a new spell. So, if Dusk and Murlo proceed to kick Rus's butt, then he will be
un-possessed by He Who Walks In Shadows. And then we can proceed to vanquish the foul creature.
Just a thought. It'd require some editing of probably both our posts, though.

And, errm... I found your most recent post rather forceful and presumptuous. As was the post where you named the sigils on the orbs and the colors of them. I left it open-ended so that people wouldn't just be picking which color they wanted. Please remember, this is my first time RPing, so I'm struggling a little. Especially without a GM. If you would like to make plans which nobody will interfere with, I suggest being more specific over the whole thing, as I found your OOC on your plans short and confusing. Who is the barrier group? And, if I'm not here fighting, where am I? I passed through the barrier and picked up the green gem. So I'm not with the barrier group, and I'm knocked out. And who's the metaphorical leopard? I'm very lost and confused, as I think most of us are. Do you think you could stop, for a moment, and explain?

[Jetthebinturong]

OOC: That is a plausible theory however I'll just go with the mind control seeing as He who walks in shadows DOES have a physical form. Also we do not proceed to vanquish him seeing as I want him to be a recurring villain however after we defeat him as Rus he may disappear for a while.

My post about obelisks and stones was completely unrelated to your things with orbs. The barrier group is the group who were behind the barrier when everyone was teleported (Rus, Cable, Rhys, Dinte and Fayt) The metaphorical leopard is Dusk who, at the end of my post about the obelisks basically insulted Murlo who asked him what his deal was, to which he replied "A leopard can't change it's spots Murlo" and He who walks in shadows, who had been listening in on them, replied with "Actually, I rather think that it can" I then waited for someone to post and continued HWWIS' line about leopards "Providing the leopard is metaphorical that is" Also if you are not with the barrier group then who was it that was on the throne with the jade sceptre and who encouraged the others to take the orbs?

OOC: Ach, ziz iz confuzin'!

[Rusvul]

OOC: Ach, ziz iz confuzin'!

OOC: Agreed.

I'm still confused about the barrier thing. Ok, so we walked up to the barrier from one side, let's call it side A. If we were to walk through it, we'd be on side B. Side B is where the green orb was, and the sarcophagi. Rus walked through the barrier. Does this mean he's the part of the barrier group? Or is the barrier group the people who didn't cross through the barrier? 'Behind' is an indistinct term, and only useful if we know which way is forward. I'm extremely confused, I don't even know which way is up. Or how all this massive stuff could fit inside this tower. I'll remove my post where Rus is mislead, as it simply seemed to cause confusion.
I might have to leave the RP, I just can't follow it. Can anybody else? It really seems un-followable, there is far mor OOC'ing than actual roleplaying. Am I allowed to kill off Rus?

[Jetthebinturong]

OOC: The ones who DID cross over are the barrier group. Yes you are allowed to kill of Rus seeing as you created him

[KitrallStreamrippler]

OOC: I could mostly follow it... *ahem* We may need a new GM, or possibly even a fresh start. It would be a shame for this to dissolve into complete chaos. (Please pardon the following unrelated rant- Agh! Curse you, Phyllis! You and your blasted alliteration!! Done- my apologies for the outburst.) This is a good RP, and a cool group of characters. Like I suggested, perhaps a new GM can take over? I feel it would go a long way towards helping the RP stay on-track; or at least, stop it from crashing in an impressive fireball.

OOC: Ze mozt ah can get from it iz:

-1 A few of us went through the barrier into a room with no way out.
-2 We meet Dinte, who has been there for some time along with his scorpion Fayt.
-3 The ones that went through the barrier began to be pulled back out through the barrier.
-4 Those that were behind the Barrier are suddenly transported to somewhere else, which is also what happens to those that did not go through the barrier.
-5 Everybody got some sorta upgrade with the gem-stone-thingies and gains a new ability.

An' zat iz aboot it az far az ah can tell. Anyzin' zat 'appened next 'ah dinnae really understand quite taae vell.

[Jetthebinturong]

OOC: That's the gist of it, I don't see what's not to understand about two creatures solving a puzzle and fighting a fox

[Rusvul]

OOC:nPuzzle? There was a puzzle? It got solved? When? Please pardon me if I seem rude, but if there is nothing to be not understood, then why can't anybody (Excepting yourself, you were the mastermind behind most of it) seem to understand it? I have contributed to this confusion, I admit. However, I intended my orb comment to be fairly straightforward. Everyone picks up an orb, gets ahem on their weapon, learns a new spell. I do not understand what happened from then on. My suggestion is:
1. We get a new GM
2. We go back to just before my orb post, when everybody was meeting the  dude with the scorpion, and play from there forth.
3. My orb idea doesn't happen, and neither does your elemental idea, as those were the main things causing confusion.

Our new GM should be someone who will make the game interesting, but not difficult to understand. Thus, I shouldn't be the new GM, and, dare I say, neither should you be, Jet, as we werethe main ones causing confusion.

Anyways, I'm out. If and when the RP gets a new GM and restarts/goes back, I will return. I'll be watching this thread, though, and will post input on this discussion.

OOC: Everybeazt zeemed tae like ze orb idea. Could ve mayhapz dae zummat vhere zat 'appenz anyvay? Mayhapz on ze ozer zide o' ze barrier ve find a box or zummat filled viz ze orbz, an' everyvone takez vone?

[Rusvul]

OOC: That could work. However, the way I had written it was a bit ridiculous, I got carried away.

[Dinte]

OOC: well this is a fun RP and maybe we could do tower of the deep V2 where we can restart with a new DM and maybe a more legitimate story line would be nice aswell
