HRPG "Basic" Game (No Points)

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

"Basic" Rules for HRPG

This game is a role-playing game. The basic way it works is that the players take turns writing paragraphs for the story, each told from the perspective of their character (but in a third person narrative). The twist is that certain actions-such as killing another player-can only be done under certain conditions, which I will later outline.

Players may choose any official character that is not dead and is not currently being played as. A player that chooses a squad may play for the whole squad, or just some of the members. Common squads have a limit of eight figures, although the player does not necessarily have to use them all. If a player violates these rules in choosing a character, then that player should be ignored.

To join the game, there must be at least one Enter action up for grabs. A player needs only to claim this action, typing their entire entry post in green. This post should explain who the character is, and introduce them smoothly to the story. It should be noted that if a player's character was killed, mindshackled, or possesed, that player may join back in as a different character. Please send me a private message if you want a character with a unique action, such as Kelda. A player may not control two characters at once, although you may kill your character and choose a different one (Provided there is an open Enter action).

The game works in posts. No player may post twice, but a player may post after another player. A post may be as long as a player wants. When a character is speaking, quotation marks should be used and the speech should be in a different paragraph. Additionally, a player is allowed to either use or permit one, and only one action in their post. This will be explained below.

There are several actions that a player can use or permit. Using an action means that the player may take a previously permitted action and use it to change the game somehow. Permitting an action allows others to use this action in their posts (In essence, it puts an action "up for grabs"). You may use as many actions as you want each day, but you are limited to permitting one action per day. As of now, here are the following actions and their associated colors:

Kill-Removes a selected player from the game. Can only be used on targets whose most recent post is less than 5 posts before the user's. This action may target the user.
(Red)

Enter-Creates a new player
(Green)

Wound-Causes physical injury, hindering the abilities of affected player, who may not use wound or kill.
(Dark Red)

Heal-Removes all special conditions (Wound, negate, ect.) from selected player. Does not remove death. (Kelda only).
Cyan

Mindshackle-Causes target to become the mindshackled slave of the user. User may either allow target to role-play as though it were a mind-shackled slave (Giving the target instructions in private messages) or may order the target to give control if its character to the user, removing that player (But not its character) from the game. Mindshackled units may not earn points or permit actions. If the user of Mindshackle decides to allow the player to continue to role play, then the player may choose to enter as another player while continuing to role play as the mindshackled slave. At any time the mind shackler may force the mind shackled slave to commit suicide, which constitutes a kill action directed at itself. This is the only instance in which a player may use an action that has not been permitted. Any alliances that that mindshackled slave possesses continue as normal, but only the non-mindshackled portion of the alliance earns the alliance point. (Ne-Gok-Sa/Kee-Mo-Shi only; Ne-Gok-Sa and Kee-Mo-Shi may not permit this action)
(Indigo)

Possess-User's character is removed from the game and user takes control of one unique hero character of his/her choice (Shades of Bleakewoode only). Target's player is removed from the game.
(Violet)

Propose Alliance-Proposes alliance to target. If target accepts, then both user and target gain 1 point and may not use kill, wound, mindshackle, cripple, or possess on one another. If either the user or the target has an alliance, then this action may not be accepted by the target. To accept an alliance, the target types up his/her alliance proposal in Dark Blue.
(Blue)

Backstab-Breaks an alliance with target, if one exists.
(Orange)

Cripple-Target may not use or permit actions for the rest of that day, until 12:00 midnight, CST. May not be used while a character is crippled (Dund only).
(Olive)

When permitting an action, type the name of the action in its associated color at the bottom of you post.
Example:

Enter

When using an action, choose one that has been permitted, and then type the sentence(s) in which the action is happening in the color of the action. Please make it clear who the target is, and please make it interesting.
Example:

His anger boiling to the surface, Syvarris's reason left him completely. Notching and arrow to his bow, he leveled his bow at the surprised face of Morsbane.

"You-you wouldn't dare!" stuttered the wizard in sudden terror.

With a blaze of fury burning behind his eyelids, Syvarris released the arrow, killing the old elf instantaneously.

"Oh yes I would," said Syvarris, breathing heavily with his anger.

So that's the "Basic" Rules for the HRPG!

Remember, if you want to be a character with a special power, pm me first! Otherwise, GAME ON!

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

Ne-Gok-Sa strode swiftly and silently through the Desert of Rimnar.

"Those fools. They don't know what they're messing with!" he cackled.

He looked behind him, and slowed at the sight of the being behind him.

[deadeyedan42]

James Murphey took a long drag on his Cigar. James was onre of those men, one of those men who can't seem to let go of they're past, nor embrace the present. He blew out a perfect smokering, it lazly drifed into the night sky, only to dissapear in the wind. Then a Gladatron walked up.

"Sir, reports indicate that the passage though the mountains is teh shortest route, there is also a small Jandar encampment on the topmost likly a shellter for travling troops. What are your orders Sir?"

Murphey smilled, finnaly he had a chance at action.

"Well tin man, we're goin' on a little trip to them Rockies. Notify the troops, where headin' out at dawn."

"Yes Sir."

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Koizumi ran swiftly through the trees, his stealth unmatched by the greatest of warriors. The rules of his forefathers ran through his mind as he ran. Avoid the dry leaves and loose rocks. Step toe first and always plan ten steps ahead. maintain at least two shadow's lengths away from your target, which was especially hard at dusk. Then, he broke out of the trees and saw what he was looking for. There was Ne-Gok-Sa, stalking the dunes and, though he would never admit it, looking slightly lost. under his dark clothing, he grinned, the job was halfway done. *poof* and just like that, he was gone, leaving behind a confused looking warlord and an endless supply of sand.

EDITED to turn the text green

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

Ne-Gok-Sa swirled around.

"Who's there?" He glared behind him, and finally decided there wasn't anyone.

"Now, which way out..." he muttered to himself.

[Darhelm]

Runa unfolded her black leathery wings and brushed a single black hair away from her eyes. She reached for her shining helm and few feet from her, and placed it atop her dark head. Her red skin almost glowed in the fast fading dusk. She smiled. Lord Utgar would be proud, oh yes, he’d be proud. She’d been falling out with him recently, she could tell. But, now she knew that James Murphy was heading up into the mountains. She’d be waiting. She’d be ready this time, and not fail Lord Utgar. She disappeared into the night, her wings flapping out a slow rhythm.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

Runa flew over a vast desert, and spied a solitary marro.

She flew down to Ne-Gok-Sa, and spoke to him urgently. She told him of the small troop of Vydarians, led by James. Ne-Gok-Sa grinned maliciously, savoring the cunning trap she had laid.

"So, Runa," he spoke in a soft, whispering hiss, "may I aid you in your mission?"

Propose Alliance

[Darhelm]

Runa thought for a moment. She hadn't forseen this, yet she'd suspected it all along. She liked Ne-Gok-Sa. His help would be useful. His mindshackling powers teamed with her helm....... they'd be unstoppable.

Of course you may Ne-Gok-Sa. Together, we shall crush this Vydar band.

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

"Thank you Runa. Now, I can feel Murphey's mind strongly. Allow me to take control of him. If the leader dies, the band will select a new one, but if he is under my control, they will rally unknowingly under me. Please, allow me to shackle him."

[deadeyedan42]

Murphey and his troops marched on to the snowy mountian peak, the cold bit at his hands, and frost bit at his Micro corp agents. The gladatron walked up agian, with a light layer of snow on it's head and shoulders.

"Sir, our recon unit has spoted a small river, it leads all the way up to the out post, it would benifit out troops very much so if the Micro corp agents and our Gladatrons and blastatrons split up, that way the micro corps could give us cover fire while our Gladatrons storm them. What say you sir?"

"All 'ight, give the orders, and D!@# it gimmi some coffee."

"Yes Sir."

As the Gladatron left, murphey began to load his Remminton shot gun, unknowingly putting a slug in.

[Darhelm]

"Mindshackling him is an excellent idea, Ne-Gok-Sa. " she said, with a light smile on her face. "Now, seeing as though we have very little time if we want to catch them by surprise, we must split up. I shall wait for you beyond the river, you go and gather some troops, like minions or drones or something."

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

"Certainly. First, however, allow me to use mindshackle."

OOC:Put this at the bottom of your post:

Mindshackle

Mindshackle is an action which must be allowed.

[Sargent_Drake_8]

The assasin hissed under his breath when he heard the plans of the two utgarian warriors. This was not the way it was supposed to happen, not at all.

Meanwhile, Jiro, a secondary ninja of the northern wind, ran out of the trees near the Vydarian fortress. He was still learning english at the time, but quickly put together the words; "Where Vyda'? We need Vyda'! You! You in danja! I help you!"

Jiro pointed a shaking finger at murphy, and showed something that he never had before. There was fear in his eyes, and desparation to.

please...we must take away his power...wound...please...

Propose alliance

[Darhelm]

Runa flew off into the night to scout out where they'd be surprising Vydar. If Ne-Gok-Sa mindshackled Murphy in time, that'd be wonderful, they'd never suspect. Then, she remebered something she'd have to pick up in her chambers before she continued as she veered off into the sky. She flew into her chambers in Lord Utgar's vast palace and gasped.

"What!?!? How did you get here.!" she said with shock on her face as a figure stepped out of the darkness.

OOC- Opens up an enter.

[deadeyedan42]

James looked at the ninja in surprise, what was the harm any way? Vydar and Einar are allies any way.

"Eh, Sure, I could use yur 'elp."

James walked over to the ninja, still drinking his coffee.

"So, what kinda trouble is I in this time boy?"

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Daak warlowd wish to take you mind! He mahst be stopped!

[deadeyedan42]

"Ne-ga-to? Eesa huit fyyi mon keeta noi!? Jinoi shun-ty muncassa."

(translation)

Ne-kok-sa? Wada ya mean he's acomin' to shackle me!? Come along bud, I"ll need you're help to finish him.

JAmes and his new ally walked up to the troops, they where coming on they're destination.[/i]

[Firemaster]

Syvarris is startled when he sees Runa enter the room. He had come here when he noticed a gap in the guard, think he might be able to end this terrible war by sneaking in and assasinating Utgar. Apparently he had taken a wrong turn and had ended up in Runa's room instead. Not wanting to fail so early, he thought quickly.

"My Lord Ne-Gok-Sa sent me here to help you on you mission."

He hoped that she actually was on a mission, and that she will not realize he is actually not mindshackled, at least untill they are out in the open. If she does, he is likely a dead man. Runa and her Helm of Mitonsoul are difficult enough to take on by themselves, but in a castle, surround by many of Utgar's forces, he would stand no chance.

[Darhelm]

Runa looked at Syvarris for a moment. It seemed that Ne-Gok-Sa was a step ahead. She was glad Syvarris had told her before she'd let the dark power of Mitonsoul flow through her veins.

"Very well then. I've come to change into more battle-worthy clothes, and head on to the river and wait for Murphy and his troops. Would you like to stay and wait for Ne-Gok-Sa, or do you want to accompany me?" she asked as she opened her closet searching for sutiable attire for her mission.

[Firemaster]

Carefully hiding his revulsion for the evil Kyrie, he considers what she has just told him. Obviously he can not stay and wait for Ne-Gok-Sa, as as soon as the Marro Warlord would lay eyes on him, he would know that Syvarris is not under his control. Also considering that she seems to be going to go ambush James Murphy somewhere, it would probably be wise to head there and possably aid him. Though the cowboy fights for Vydar, and his own general is not exactly allies with Vydar, Murphy is a good man, and anyone is better than those of Utgar.

"I will accompany you, my lady."

He steps out of the room and waits. Though he does not like failing his objective, this was not a mission from Ullar, only a situation of opprotunity. There would be other opprotunities later, and if he tried to continue now, he would almost certainly be killed.

[Darhelm]

"Good" she said as she watched the elf archer exit. She'd appreciate his aim and double arrows during the battle, she thought. She changed into her battle armor, quickly polished her helmet, and stepped outside her room.
"I can fly." she said thoughtfully. "But you, that's another thing. Perhaps you ride on the back of Mimring.....no, he'd bring attention for sure. Well, are you good on a horse? I can fly above and you can ride below me. Yes, that's it! But we'll have to make good time. Let's go down into the stables and get you a horse." Runa and Syvarris walked down into the stables, and saddled Syvarris a horse. With Runa flying above and Syvarris down below, they took off into the night.

[Firemaster]

As Syvarris was leaving with Runa, he thought to say that he had one of Theracus' brothers, Jiadeno, just outside, but he thought better of it. He had gotten away with pretending he was mind controled so far, but adding in the griffilin would be pushing it, so he remained silent. As he walked past where Jiadeno was hiding, he used the subtle sign language the elves developed to talk to their griffilin steeds when they are unable to talk. Syvarris quickly told Jiadeno of what happened, and directed him to wait untill they had left and then fly to Ullar and tell of the situation. Ullar should understand the situation and send aid to Murphy.

[Darhelm]

After an hour or so of riding, Runa dropped down below towards Syvarris.
"Here is the river where we shall wait for Ne-Gok-Sa. He's coming with troops soon." She pointed with a single gauntleted finger towards the river.
"Perhaps you should find an outcrop or hill or something where you can fire upon them from above. If he brings some Arrow Gruts i'll send them up with you. Or if you want, we can both wait on the river, and Ne-Gok-Sa can mindshackle Murphy from above.

[Firemaster]

"So Ne-Gok-Sa shall be meeting us here? Very well, I shall look for an advantageous position."

Of course by advantageous, he means a place where he can escape quickly. He will be unable to keep this sharade up much longer. He finds an edge of a hill that is covered with trees.

[deadeyedan42]

Murphey and teh ninja ran up to the Gladatron.

"Tell 'em to halt."

The robot did as he was asked.

"Boy, we can't go on up this road."

"Why not sir? We can't just cancle the attack on the outpost an-"

"And I'm telling you there's bound to be a ambush waitin' up there!"

"Sir I must ob-"

"Wait! .... what's that?"

"What is it sir?"

Murphey flicked out his pistol and spun around, he empied the pistol into the bushes, and a fiat scheech was heard. the trio walked over to teh bushes, and James pulled out the dead shell of a deathreaver.

"Any more smart-^@# questions for me?"

"No...no sir."

"Good, now, we stay on the road."

[Firemaster]

As Syvarris sits hidden on the hill and thinks of a way to escape or eliminate Runa, his keen eyes catch movement down below. Straining his eyes, he tries to figure out who it is.

Enter

[Troll Warrior]

Out stalks the form of a dragon, but it wasn't one Syvarris was used to. Working with Jandar and Ullar all this time he had only met three dragons before. One was allied with himself and Ullar, another allied with Jandar, and the third he had only met in the battlefield.

It was Mimring.

[Darhelm]

Runa's heart leapt as she saw Mimring. Mimring - the most glorious of all the dragons, in Runa's opinion. She swooped down next to Mimring and carressed his cheek.
"Why Hello Mimring, did you come with Ne-Gok-Sa? I was beginning to get concerned, i thought he'd been captured or something. Utgar was wise to send you with him, together, me, you, Ne-Gok-Sa, and Syvarris, why, this shall be easy!"
Runa turned to the hills to scout out Syvarris, she couldn't find him, but she figured that he was just ducking.
"Where is Ne-Gok-Sa and the troops? Did you come alone?"

EDIT - Changed Miring to Mimring

[Firemaster]

So the one he saw was Mimring. This will make things more difficult for Syvarris. It will be hard enough to try and run from Runa, but Mimring too? Well, it would be difficult, but not impossible; though he would have to make his move soon, before Ne-Gok-Sa and his troops arrive.

[Troll Warrior]

"Khosumet sends his regards, Runa," the creature hisses. "He is leading an army of Anubians to destroy a Jandar outpost hidden nearby."

Mimring hears the snap of a twig. Suddenly alert, he turns his head to the source of the noise. Out of the shadows comes ...

Enter

[johnny139]

A monk, robed in a black, blood-splattered robe. He is silent, and due to the fact his eyes are closed, he ignores the two warriors of Utgar. Walking far past them, he stops suddenly, as if anticipating a movement. Without turning around or opening his eyes, he says, "Do not attempt to follow me, if you value your worthless lives."

[Troll Warrior]

Mimring laughs ... a cold, mirthless laugh ... but doesn't take his eyes from the newcomer.

[johnny139]

Walking on his path, unchangec from before, he speaks again. "Stop making noise," the monk says coldly, twirling a small dagger in his hand, "or I'll kill you both."

[Darhelm]

Runa looked doubtfully at the monk. She clicked her fingers together and smiled hesitantly.
"Uhmmm......Okay. Did you come to assist me Mimring, or must you return to Khosumet?" she asked. She then turned to the monk.
"How do you know we cannot help you in your mission? We shan't be a hindrance if you at least tell us what you're doing?"

[johnny139]

Still walking, the monk speaks again. "My mission is to kill everyone on this forsaken planet. Including the both of you. But I have bigger targets now."

He jumps into a tree, and disappears...

[Darhelm]

"Insane. Most defintley insane. I think i should follow him. Ne-Gok-Sa shall be here soon, Mimring. You are in charge till then. Check on Syvarris." With that, Runa disappeared after the monk.

[Sargent_Drake_8]

And a shadow followed after. Akiawa was on the hunt.

[johnny139]

The monk stops on a tree branch, turning to his stalkers. Dagger in hand, he scowls and scans the nearby woods. They may be near, perhaps they are watching him right now. Eyes closed, he shouts to the woods, "If you don't leave me now, I will kill you both. It is inevitable that I will be victorious."

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Hmm...Tell me of yourself. Maybe we can help eachother. But...if you would rather settle this in a true barbaric style...

<A ninja jumped from the trees, sword drawn, landing just a few feet from the monk, who could not help but notice she was a woman.>

...then I won't stop you.

Kill

[johnny139]

(OOC - Holy crap! I was just thinking about doing the same exact thing!)

The monk scratches his chin, and sits down, legs crossed. "I have no reason to spare your life. But I find you an interesting specimen. I will allow you a chance to spare your life. If you feel it would be a better battle, we shall match wits instead. The winner may kill the loser. Do you agree to these terms?"

[Sargent_Drake_8]

<Akiawa sets down her blade and sits, cross-legged, in the meditative stance.>

It is agreed. Though I might warn you, we are followed by one who may not be so honorable. A curse follows.

So, who shall go first?

[deadeyedan42]

Murphey and his men arive at the top of the mountain, Jandar's out post is only a few hundred feet away.

"Men, secure the surrounding area! I want 6 to be a entry team! Move it!"

The Micro corps quickley took possitions, they set a charge on the massive door, making small clicks with they're tounge to communicate. THe Explotion rocked the earth, with in seconds teh team was inside, sweeping theroom for life, Murphey came in like a wildfire, shotgun pionted at a lone door.

He enterd the room, and found a gruesom site... Dead knights, sentinals, monks, and kyrie lay dead at they're feet, one knight was pinnned against the wall with a swrod though his cheast. His breaths where heavy, and blood flowed from his wound, obviosly freash.

"What happend here tin man?"

The knight looked up weakly, he held out a talisman, it shimmerd an azure color in teh fading light.

"they...they c-came fo-r th-is....*hack* It is vital to th-e..."

He never finnished, death came over him like a shroud, blocking out waht very little life he had left. Murphey took the talisman, and put it in his0 coat pocket.

"Men! Establish a preimiter! Get into defencive positions! looks like we'll have to defend this fort instead of attack it!"

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Ootga coming for you. you do betta run away. He will take you. You be killed or worse. <Jiro looked grimly at the scene about him.> But I will stay wit' you. We fight till end. In name of Einah.

[Troll Warrior]

Ending his conversation with Runa, the mighty dragon Mimring hissed, "I go where I please. However, I will stay as long as I see fit. Where are you, Elf!?!"

[johnny139]

The monk smiles, a sickly, evil smile. "I suppose I will allow you the first move."

[Darhelm]

Runa alighted upon a nearby branch, watching with animal curiousity. This would be interesting! A game of lives!

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Very well. To thank you for your generosity, we shall start out small.

<Akiawa closed her eyes and recited>

My first is in tea but not in leaf
My second is in teapot and also in teeth
My third is in caddy but not in cosy
My fourth is in cup but not in rosy
My fifth is in herbal and also in health
My sixth is in peppermint and always in wealth
My last is in drink, so what can I be?
I talk every day, do you listen to me?

[johnny139]

"Sensei."

The monk smiles, amused by the simple question. "The answer is TEACHER. I shall take the next turn. In my travels, I have learned much from many; teachings far beyond philosophy and faith. The world of math, science, and logic has been opened to me, and I intend to use them to full force. But I, too shall start slow, with a simple Mathematical question."

Add is Nine. Bad is Seven. What is Dog?

[Sargent_Drake_8]

thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...six, seven.
<Akiawa seemed to be speeking to her self for a moment, then smiled>

Twenty-Six. Though fun all the same.

Which makes it my turn.

What is as rare as a Friday in June?

[johnny139]

"A Sunday in October. A classic, one that even I know of. You need to step it up, child. Hmm..."

6, 25, 64, 81, 32. What number comes next in the pattern?

He smiles devilishly. "If you need a hint, I'll give one."

[Sargent_Drake_8]

"A Sunday in October. A classic, one that even I know of. You need to step it up, child. Hmm..."

6, 25, 64, 81, 32. What number comes next in the pattern?

He smiles devilishly. "If you need a hint, I'll give one."

Very well.

Even as an assasin, I can realize the value of life.

OOC:It's kind of funny. I'm reading the number sequence, like 6,25,64,81, then WOAH WHERE THE H**L DID THAT 32 COME FROM? :lol:

[johnny139]

"Exponents."

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Ahh...You are clever, indeed you are. And generous, for I may have just lost my head had you not said that. The next and final number is one.

However, you underestimate me as I tried to gague your confidence, skill, and temper, all of which play a crucial part in these mind games.

Here is one riddle that I myself have lived. At my last feast in Osaka before I was whisked away by lord Einar, I was given this task. There were sixteen...what word do you use...litres of sake, which needed to be divided into two equal halves using only the full barrel the sake came in, which held 16 litres, an eleven litre barrel that had been used for water, and a six litre barrel used to feed the animals. In each move I made, one of the barrels was filled to the top or emptied. If any of the sake had spilled, I would have been beheaded. Tell me, how did I do this task?

As you did, I will give you a hint if you need one.

[Darhelm]

Runa is shocked by the cleverness of the two warriors, there battle of mind-games. Silently, she stored all the riddles away in case she was ever in this position. She also remmebered some her great-mother had told her as a child. This was fascinating, she found.

[johnny139]

The monk scowls, his pride taking a huge hit. For the first time in years, he feels... mortal. A feeling he does not like. "I would like... a hint."

[Sargent_Drake_8]

The job was done in exactly fourteen steps.

<Akiawa made a small bow to the monk before sitting up straight again.>

OOC: not to be a nitpicker or anything, but Juoru Murakami (or whatever his name is) isn't really an official charachter.

[Firemaster]

"A Sunday in October. A classic, one that even I know of. You need to step it up, child. Hmm..."

6, 25, 64, 81, 32. What number comes next in the pattern?

He smiles devilishly. "If you need a hint, I'll give one."

OOC: I'm Stumped. I'm usually very good with patterns, but I can't seem to figure this one out. How did you figure it out? I see that the middle three are perfect squares of 5, 8 and 9, and 32 is 2^5, but how does 6 fit into it? And for that matter, what's the pattern?

[johnny139]

(OOC - Jurou is a Shaolin Monk, just with a different personality, and different colored clothes. It's like playing as an Albino Anubian Wolf, for example. And I'm still stumped, so...)

[Darhelm]

OOC - Yeah currently, these are our players
Firemaster - Syvarris
Darhelm - Runa
johnny139 - Shaolin Monks (all 3 still alive)
Fuzzie Fuzz - Ne-Gok-Sa
Sargent_Drake_8 - Ninjas of the Northern Wind (all 3 still alive)
Troll Warrior - Mimring
deadeyedan42 - James Murphy

[Sargent_Drake_8]

OOC:johnny139 - Shaolin Monks (all 3 still alive) Well, I've proven that I have all three ninjas, but Johnny has his choice, he can have anywhere from one to eight monks, but the only one he has to tell is Fuzzie.

OOC: I'm Stumped. I'm usually very good with patterns, but I can't seem to figure this one out. How did you figure it out? I see that the middle three are perfect squares of 5, 8 and 9, and 32 is 2^5, but how does 6 fit into it? And for that matter, what's the pattern?6^1=6
5^2=25
4^3=64
3^4=81
2^5=32
1^6=...okay, you should know this one.

As you can see by his riddles, Johnny seems to be a math guy. So, I went for a few classics, just to learn more about him. But enough of this, ball's in his court

(OOC - Jurou is a Shaolin Monk, just with a different personality, and different colored clothes. It's like playing as an Albino Anubian Wolf, for example. And I'm still stumped, so...)

so...do you want some more time?

[Firemaster]

6^1=6
5^2=25
4^3=64
3^4=81
2^5=32
1^6=...okay, you should know this one.

OOC: I see, that is actually quite simple.

Not OOC: Syvarris notices that Mimring is looking for him.

"I'm going to have to get away soon. Perhaps when Mimring makes his way to the other side of the castle, I can make a break for the castle." He says to himself.[/i]

[deadeyedan42]

Murphey and the ninja ran out of the outpost, Murphey screamed out orders to his troop and the ninja just followed, almost like a body gaurd of sorts. Suddenly, the night sky was light up, a large sphear of fire hit the out post with tremendus forse, killing every one inside and the ones near it. the Ninja dissapeared just as a piece of shrapnall flew twaords him, murphey hit the ground, swearing over the niose. Whenthe dust settled Murphey saw the dammege, his whole battalion was dead, excluding the ninja, who was no where to be seen. Murphey walked around, dazed fromteh sudden attack. when his heart started pumping again he headed off to the woods, he wasn't about to become a POW...

<The ninja jumped down right in front of him, startling murphy as he ran.>
We go otha way. Akiawa San and daak wariors here. That way.
<He pointed breifly in another direction, then disappeared with a small whoosh of wind>

After minute after minute of rapidly carving into the tree branch, the monk drops his dagger and clutches the top of his head. "No... I can't... there had to be a way! It's not possible. You have to be lying!"

He rolls to the side, quickly grabbing the knife and leaping forward, towards the ninja. Though quickly deflected, he grabs the blade and thrusts the knife towards Akiawa. Pausing only seconds before killing her, he starts to twitch. "I am perfect, yet I cannot solve it. Therefore there cannot be a solution. You must be cheating."

(OOC - I don't really think you're cheating. But I couldn't figure it out!)

Murphey ran on, ignoring the ninja, not after 5 steps in to the forest he heard some thing, he cocked his shotgun, sweeping it all around, looking for what made the niose. than, out of the tree tops, an ork archer leap out, he released an arrow, it flew rigth into Murpheys heart. He droped dead, and the ork smiled, His master would thank him for this....

OOC: You are allowed to kill yourself in this game?

Not OOC: Syvarris' thoughts are interupted as nearby he watches James Murphy leave a grouping of trees. "This is good," he thought, "I came to aid Murphy and now he is here."

As Syvarris is about to call out to Murphy, he watches as an Orc archer leaps out from one of the trees. Before Syvarris is able to do anything, he watches as the Orc releases an arrow that pierces Murphy's heart; Murphy falls down dead.

Syvarris stands and is about to release an arrow to avenge the fallen cowboy, when he notices a shadow lurking behind the rejoicing Orc. Syvarris ducks back into his hiding place as he waits for the shadow to reveal its identity, and hopes that if it is one of Utgar's men, that he did not see him.

A Sowrd comes out from behind the tree, slowly but surly, a lone Roman leggionary steps out from the shadows. He slices the orkes throat, gfrom behind, and wipes the blood from his sword. he has no helm, and his mighty red batterd shield is on is back. his face is weatherd, he sports a long scar going across his face, and his Breast plate is dented and batterd. As he sheathes his sword, he notices somthing, there is some one watching him...

"I know you are here creature! state thine name and general!"

Silence....

"Very well... I shall wait for you to come out."

The roman Draws his sword and stares in teh direction of where Slyvarris is, waiting for an answer...

[Firemaster]

When Syvarris sees that it is one of Einar's Leigionnaire's, Syvarris breathes a sigh of relief. He would have preffered that it would have been one of his allies from Ullar or Jandar, but anyone is better than one of Utgar's henchmen.

Hearing the Roman's query, Syvarris pauses for a moment. Runa is away at the moment, and he can not see Mimring, so if he were to make a break for it, there would likely be no better time than this. Looking around one last time to see if Mimring is near, Syvarris steps out from his hiding place.

"Greetings Roman, I am Ullar of Feylund and I fight for Ullar."

He then relates all that has happened to him up to this point.

[deadeyedan42]

The Roman Listens intently, after the long speech the roman nods.

"I see, so fate hath set you on a path that you, up untill this hour, could not break off from. I have been cursed in similar ways, I was back stabbed by my freind, who accused me of treson, I was to be exicuted by my legion but I fled during the night.

The Roman sighs and looks to the heavens.

I must go, All the generals are looking for me, and I cannot let them. Please, Slyvarris, should you're heart hold any mercy, tell no one of my meeting you...

the Roman began to walk away, into the night, as he walked away, A trio of elfes came out, Bows Drawn, all pionted at the roman. The first one spoke.

"So you sek refuge eh roman? My master can offer you refuge."


The roman drew his sword, but seeing as he was surrounded, he threw it down. He glared at Slyvarris, and bitterly spoke.

Very well, I yeild.

The other two Elfes Tookhim and binded his hands, they took him off into the night, while the leader spoke to Slyvarris.

" My lord Slyvarrirs, we have looked far and wide for you after we did not meet you out side of Utgars castle, we feared you dead! I at least know you are alive and well, you may tell me of your adventures lter, but for now I must escort the Roman back to the Shining City, there he shall be tryed by our Lord Morsbane. Fare well my Master!"

<Akiawa looked cooly at the knife pressed against her cloths, and then lifted her head to stare into the crazed eyes of the monk. Suddenly, without notice, *poof* and she was gone.>

AAUGH! WHERE ARE YOU!?! <The monk shouted at the heavens, but quickly stopped, letting his keen senses lead him. A voice echoed from a bush to his right.>

Fill the six litre container to the top. you will only have ten left in the largest one.

<Another whoosh, and in a flurry of leaves, the voice relocated to a tree's branches directly behind him>

Transport the liquied in the smallest container to the medium container. Don't leave a single drop behind.

<Again, movement, and again, the voice moved, this time echoing from the path leading to the clearing>

Fill the small vessel again with liquid from the largest one. Now the great barrel only has four left.

<*Swish*, and the plants to the confused monk's right sprang alive.>

Using the liquid in the smallest container, fill the medium one to the top. A single litre will remain in the small one.

<Swish, and the undergrowth directly in front of him began speaking>

Now, pour the full contents of the medium barrel into the large one. It now holds all but one of the litres of sake.

<Whoosh, and the ninja appeared, watching the crazed warrior from the treetops>

Now, using the large container, fill the small one to the rim. Nine litres will remain in it.

<Poof, and the ninja's voice echoed out again, slowly growing in intensity>

Empty the small one into the medium vessel. there are seven litres in it now!

<And the voice was certainly becoming more agressive now, as it relocated again>

Again, fill the small one to the rim with the largest, which will only hold three litres at this point

<The predator was redying itself for the kill>

USE THE SMALL ONE TO FILL THE MEDIUM ONE. IT HOLDS TWO LITRES!

*whoosh*

Empty the medium one into the large one, giving it fourteen litres!

*swish, thud*

Move the two litres into the medium container!

*poof*

Fill the small one with the large one, which now holds eight litres!

Akiawa suddenly jumped from the sky and began dueling with the monk. silver went flashing all around the clearing as the duo moved back and forth.

POUR THE SMALL CONTAINER'S CONTENTS INTO THE MEDIUM, WHICH NOW HOLDS EIGHT LITRES! DID YOU THINK I WOULD CHEAT YOU? NO, I MAY BE A THEIF IN THE NIGHT, BUT EVEN I HAVE MORE HONOR THAN YOU!

<The ninja suddenly disengaged and whipped out a shruikan from inside her cloths. the light hit is making it shine as it flew on a straight course from her hand. Almost in slow motion, the shruikan hit the monk squarely in the forehead...then bounced straight off with a slight squeak. It was made of rubber.>

No, I won't be killing you. Though a little headstrong, you are wise, and that is not something to be lightly destroyed. I won't kill you, but I can help you. There are things worse than death.

Propose alliance[/i]

[johnny139]

Amazing, he thinks. Calming himself slowly, he mulls over the proposition. The idea of 'befriending' such intelligence is tempting but he quickly returns to his goal. All but himself are scum, they must all die. He cannot save his friends, his family, his brothers, until he kills all of the others. But if he was outwitted by a simple ninja, how could he do this? Closing his eyes, he responds.

"I accept, for now. But in the end, I must kill you, as I will all the others."

[Darhelm]

Runa decided it was in her best interest to leave now. There was an alliance. And she was not a part. She unfolded her wings and plummeted away. Where was Ne-Gok-Sa? She could use his help. But....She had Mimring, as she flew above the forrest and saw the battleground below she gasped. Murphy-dead, syvarris, mimring, elves, and a roman. This was unusual. Highy unusual.

[Troll Warrior]

"Elf!?! Where are you, vile creature!?!"

Mimring hears the conversation between the two elves and roars in rage.

He takes off for Runa, determined to tell her of the pointy-eared's transgressions.

[Firemaster]

Syvarris hears the roar of Mimring, which causes Syvarris to pale slightly; he quickly regains his composure.

"So I have been discovered? Ah well, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

He pulls out his bow and jumps from his hiding place. He makes a beeline for the fortress, running like a demon was chasing him; which is rather appropriate, since he would soon have two.

[Darhelm]

Runa watched the elf as he ran towards the fortress and listened with hatred to what Mimring was telling her. That elf - the betrayer! Her face twisted into a mask of rage.
"Come Mimring. We must catch him!"

[Troll Warrior]

Mimring once again took to the sky. Soon he saw the elf, running for cover.

Blasting fire in every direction, Mimring landed in a forest of fire.

"Now, Elf, where are you hiding."

[Firemaster]

Syvarris looks up from the rock he had ducked behind and saw that Mimring was very close. "It's not much of a chance, but I have to take it.", he whispered to himself. He nocked 2 arrows into his bow, then stands up. Syvarris releases the first arrow, which pierces one of Mimring's wings. It does no real damage, however it does cause Mimring to look Syvarris' way. When he does, Syvarris lets the other arrow fly. It goes slightly wild, but it does manage to slice across Mimring's cheek, just under his eye. It too will do little permanent damage, but hopefully it will distract him long enough for Syvarris to put some distance between them. He takes off running again.

[Sargent_Drake_8]

<Akiawa listens intently to the goings on in the forest around her.>

Much goes on. Before we ourselves go to join the fight, I would like to continue honing my mental skills. It is my understanding that you already had a question planned out for me, and, technically, it is your turn.


OoC: SO CLOSE! And I had the perfect question for you - How can you prove .99999999999 (and so forth) is equal to 1?Do you still want me to do this one, or do you want to change it?

PS-Game on, suckah'. True, you'll probably win this time, but this is fun anyway.

[Troll Warrior]

Mimring blasts another stream of fire, but the fleet-footed elf manages to duck it. Another blast of fire, which Syvarris dodges before streaking off into the forest.

"Next time, Elf. You won't be so lucky."

[Syvarris the Ruler]

Khomset walked next to Ne-Gok-Sa,only 10 of his strongest Anubian Wolves behind him. He only brought 10 because he wasn't focused on anyone but Ne-Gok-Sa. Ne-gok-Sa had tried to kill Khomset once for Khomset proposing a plan that he hadn't thought of.Khomset planned to kill Ne-Gok-Sa when he caught sight of fire and howled a howl so strong that minions at Utgar's castle could hear.

[Troll Warrior]

Mimring abandins the chase. He once again takes off and flies to meet another fellow lieutenant of Utgar, the wolf Khosumet.

When the dragon reached Khosumet, he was meeting with Ne-Gok-Sa. He had never much liked the Marro warlord. He reminded Mimring of someone he recently disgorged. It was remarkable how simmilar the creature resembled Mimring's puke.

"Greetings, friend Khosumet. How goes your hunt?"

[Syvarris the Ruler]

"Mimring my old friend may I speak with you in private?"
As they walked away from Ne-Gok-Sa Khomset told Mimring his plan.
"First we must find the elf known as Kyntela Gwyn and there you can help. She is in the forest nearby and she heard and understood my howl. She will be expecting you and will help us kill Ne-Gok-Sa."

propose alliance
enter

[Troll Warrior]

Alliance Accepted

However, technically we are already allied.


"Very well, old friend. When I find her, what shall I do with her?"

[Syvarris the Ruler]

"She knows your coming and you need to fly to her as quickly as possible to Ne-Gok-Sa. She will be atop an oak that is rapidly growing as you fly her towards Ne-Gok-Sa she will make giant mahogany trees form around Ne-Gok-Sa and my strongest Anubian Wolves. You will then burn the mahoganies around Ne-Gok-Sa which will keep him from fleeing. My Anubians will then finish him off."

[Troll Warrior]

"Complicated. Very well."

The mighty dragon takes off ... again. Boy were his wings getting tired.

[Syvarris the Ruler]

As Mimring took off Khomset walked up to Ne-Gok-Sa.
"Mimring has put dragonfire oils in this vial along with some wolf hair and blood I collected,it shall make you stronger and have a much better chance to mindshackle"
Khomset handed him the concoction. Ne-Gok-Sa had the vial to his lips and the concoction almost down his throat when Mahogany trees burst out of the ground. Everything was ruined, without the concoction Ne-Gok-Sa wouldn't weaken with fire. Still Khomset had to kill him, he leapt in unison with his Anubians. Ne-Gok-Sa was pinned and was struggling to escape when Mimring arrived. Khomset and 2 Anubians clawed at Ne-Gok-Sa's face till he couldn't bear it anymore and gave up. Then Mimring torched him.

[mr_rex777]

Then From out of the sky, comes Syvarris riding Charos, who had sensed his ally's distress. Knowing of Charos' immense strength, the Anubiens and Khomoset flee. Mimring, having a deep hate for Charos, Chases him into the sky around the tree, where an epic battle unfolds.

[dragonfire9788]

I may not be in this thread but I do read it, and I happen to know someone is already using Syvarris.

[mr_rex777]

I know that but if you remember syvarris is hiding under a rock from mimring and my character, Charos, sensed his danger and came to rescue him.

[Syvarris the Ruler]

OOC:Yes but I think he's actually Charos carrying Syvarris not Syvarris.

Not OOC:Khomset travels to his secret Anubian training grounds nearby to collect as many warriors as possible to defeat the mighty Charos.As he was about to enter he heard a noise and stopped looking into a bush nearby.

Um...Monk?

OoC:Just so you know, this (http://heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=8133)is where all your OoC posts should be going.

[johnny139]

The monk's eyes open wide. He had been dreaming - or was it a nightmare? Regardless, he turns to the ninja and sighs. "I am sorry. What has happened?"

[Sargent_Drake_8]

Well, before I challenged you to continue our battle of wits without the stakes in place, but if our time would be better used some other way...

[mr_rex777]

Mimring slashed Charos on the side making him lose his balance and dropping Syvarris who luckly grabbed a nearby tree branch saving his life. After Charos gained his balance, he rammed Mimring in the side. It left two gashes. Furiously Mimring launched himself at Charos and grabbed onto him, plummeting both of them to the ground. Desperate to save his ally, Syvarrris knocked 2 arrows into his bow. He aimed them at Mimring, Syvarris released both of them, and they both hit Mimring in his left eye. It was enough force to make Mimring let go, then Charos, taking the opportunity, flew straight at Mimring's heart, ripping at the flesh to get to it, and ripping it out. Mimring with his last strength shot a flame at Charos, Hitting his right wing. They both went falling towards the ground hitting it with a thud. Charos was wounded but alive but Mimring, was dead.

OoC:Thank you for clearing that up for me. Now I completly understand. Just change it so that Charos bashes up Mimrings side really bad so he is forced to flee but first Mimring gives Charos some nasty burns on his tail.

[Troll Warrior]

Mimring reaches Utgar's grand fortress, bleeding from face to tail. However, the dragon will not fall so easily. He curls himself up into a ball and sleeps, hoping his wounds will heal by morning.

[mr_rex777]

As Charos landed syvarris approached him "Are you okay?" "I will make it" Charos said in his deep voice. " Where is Ne-Gok-Sa?" " I don't know, he must have escaped while you were fighting Mimring" "Well we better go back to base to get troops to hunt him down" "Ok". And with that Syvarrris jumped back on Charos so they could fly back to Ullars outpost. As they were flying they noticed to figures talking. One is wearing black robes, the other a black suit with a sword of a ninja. Charos flies down to them to investigate.
