Vengeance of the Heart -- Discussion Thread

[Magus]

Welcome, Azmodan. Hopefully Rob-hin can handle the addition of another player character. From what I can tell, he's pretty busy just with the lot of us. If you haven't already, you might want to get in touch with him via PM and see how you might arrange your entrance into the story.

BTW, as a general rule we're sticking with 3rd Edition rules, just so you know. I got the impression that you might be modeling your character off of 2nd Ed. rules, which may or may not make much of a difference in the actual story.

@Tybaltus: Looks like your characters are pretty busy there, eh? Me, I'm biding my time for the moment...

Yeah.....phew...after dealing with the ant, the cleric, the spells, the lackies, and 3 characters, looks like I get a chance to relax.

*reads Aegis' post*

Bummer.....

Yeah...the chaos is just swarming and is so thick, you can cut it with a knife.

And now Im gonna have to deal with Ae'siir and whatever Rob does with the cleric. Whatever he does, Im game. Ill take another breath and see what comes out in the end.

But, at least my character has both eyes in good condition!

BTW, I'll be posting again soon, and if Rudar doesn't come back, I might have to remove him temporaly from the picture, or focus Ae'siir towards someone else.

I'm trying everything I can. I was about to write yesterday, but I didn't have the Player's Handbook with me. You really need that when you are playing a spellcaster. The rest of the post is finished....

[Rudar Dimble]

I just read the last post on VotH.....I guess I can throw away my own post now. Doesn't matter, it only took me an hour or so to write it. May be my next post is gonna be:
"And Gurdio died".....that is if I still control my own character

[Azmodan]

hey guys... i will be joining your party soon, so i just wanted to say HI!
and could you please let me know if anything is missing from my carecter post, other than stating her racial enemy, wich i simply dont know if she have.

see you soon

He isn't dead. Only whacked with the flat of the blade. It's just that you took a good deal of time, without even responding to the post, that it was holding myself back as well.

The eternal debate...how far should you go with another's character...(sigh)

@Azmodan: A ranger in 3rd Ed. starts with one racial enemy at first level, and gains another every five levels. Right now, our characters as a group are about level 5. Rangers also gain the ability to cast level 1 spells at level 6 in 3rd Ed., so maybe that's something you can consider in terms of future character development.

Well....casting a spell, reading his minds on let him do other actions within one post goes WAY to far for me. No matter who are what he is holding back....

How do you mean by reading his mind?

You specifically said in your last post that you intened to help the unconscious Lilth, so I followed up on what you had stated you were planning. On top of that, how is casting a spell in defence, especially one which would be a likly candidate for an illusonist to cast, so wrong? If you think much liberties have been taken with how I wrote in what happend, then perhaps you should read through some of the previous stories.

Because this is not an actual PnP experiance, the other writers are expected, if not entitled, to write the other characters from time to time, as long as nothing drastic happens. I have writen nothing drastic towards your character, as I had stated by saying that he was merely rendered unconscious.

Anyway, if it's that much of an issue for you, I will change it, but that will seriously affect what I am trying to acheive here.

It is...
and may be your post seriously affected what I was trying to achieve....you don't know.
I have read all the posts, but none goes as far as yours when it comes to taking over one's character. I also have expierence with this type of RPG, and I know when someone crosses the line. Sorry to say this Aegis, but I really think you did.

BTW: If had posted before...I wouldn't have rendered uncouncious, so how were you planning on 'achieving your goal' then?

And as I stated before....I had to throw away an entire post where I worked very hard on....took me a lot of time

[Rudar Dimble]

you know what...leave it. my post is already gone, and I don't feel like writing it a second time

You must realize that part of the issue here is that you neglected to even post something in the discussion thread, and I let it stand for sometime before I continued. Now, as for the unconscious things, that doesn't overly affect my idea, what affects it the fact I have to rewrite that post now, with a different inside to it.

By rendering him unconscious, I did the best thing I could, considering the circumstances of your lack of posting. I could've easily done something worse. But, considering I don't have a good enough grasp on your character, as yet, I used what I knew, and that was that he is a gnome, and an illusionist. What did you want me to do? Blast the enraged elf with a massive fireball? Seems a bit out of character for an illusionist, and a bit unrealistic given the time in which this was happening.

Remember, my goal isn't as a villian. I have some set ideas in motion, and trying to create some interesting party dissention when they finally start working together.

And towards your first comment, I suggest you reread many of the posts then, because there have been many times characters have been written in by other participants, and done much more drastic/important things, without the other person's influence. In all retrospect, I have done nothing wrong. I merely stated a simple defence, and given a plausible, and preferable outcome. Unconsciousness does not always last hours.

[Rudar Dimble]

I have reread many of the posts, and I don't think any of them is a drastic as yours...

I'm not going to repeat everything again, the last thing I want to say about this matter is:
please don't mess with my character anymore like that. You said yourself: you don't have a good grasp on him, so don't touch him.....it's my character. And you COULD have PM-ed me...

and don't go throwing around with: "lack of posting..." etc. you can really piss people of with that stuff, since you don't know the reason they don't post. It is not up to you to decide what to do with people that are 'MIA'....it's up to the DM

And with that said, it's blatently obvious of your experiance with these types of stories. I simply do not have the time for discussions like this, therefore feel it may be best that I do not participate at all within this story. If you're that uptight about some minor things I wrote your character as doing, the perhaps you should really reconsider your involvment as well, becase it doesn't seem that you're suited for an activity such as this, because it requires others characters to be controlled in a such a manner from time to time, and quite often, in far more dire circumstances and situations.

Rob, I'm sorry, but right now, I'm giving serious thought to leaving. I think you've been doing a fine job, and will look forward to seeing the whole story play out, but the way things are looking, I will be more of a burden then anything else. In my experiance, it's best not to have people work together, when they cannot see eye to eye.

[Rob-hin]

I don't want to loose any one of you since I feel the bolth of you contribute to the story.
Please don't do anything hasty since I feel we can work this out.
It isn't an as big problem as it may now appear to be.

I prefer to talk about this with the bolth of you on msn and I think it's best for me not to respond about this here more then I did with this.
