I thought I would open a place where, for those who are interested, we could talk a bit about the Dark Flame story. Not so much about story ideas, since that could tend to ruin the spontanity of the dynamic, but for things like the direction the story is going in, general observations, loose ends people would like to see tied up, etc.

One of the things that strikes me is that there are many subplots we could pursue: the ruins and the Rai'ya storyline, the Shadow Master, the Nippy and Loner subplot, rescuing Anicka's men and the Abomination, and so on. Any thoughts on which of these we might want to explore?

Any general observations people would like to share?

Hmm...Maybe rescue Anicka's men to start? We could even tie it inot the shadow master story? We could have one of the Darkflames kidnapped by the Drow to speed things up?

On a lighter note, I've drawn a picture of Thantor to add. Just have to scan the darn thing...

"You people"?!

As in 'You beautiful people whom I worship from afar.'?
Or something far more devious?



We write stories, we chat and we spam. All noble followings.

I would suggest that this thread is certainly open to spam - as Viv and Veh said, "the Noblest of Followings."

Here's my question: Does anybody get the joke when Gwally uses his semi-sentient club?

Story line: part of the charm of our story is the surprising twists that we introduce, and then seeing how the other characters react. So, if someone were to be abducted by Drow......

Oh, that was a semi-sentient club you were talking to? I thought those were conversations with your... never mind.

Personally, I enjoy the opportunities for character development in the story. But I also feel this needs to be balanced with adventure and actually confrontations with the forces of evil. So rescuing Anicka's men and going after the Abomination sounds good to me.

I would like to finish the plot Loner and I have started. Did anyone realise that I mentioned a Tarrasque? I would have thought we could have fought it...

What's a Tarrasque? I bet Viv thought it was a type of tree or something

I thought it was some sort of multi-dimensional space that is bigger on the inside than on the outside....

My thought was to deal with the Tarrasque then go after Annickas men.

Isn't that a black hole? No, wait, that's the OPPOSITE of a black hole. It's not a worm hole either. ARGH!! I've watched Star Trek and I still don't know those stupid terms!!

Well, Gwally made it back to the keep, so no one has to wait for him anymore (assuming you were waiting.)

But, did he make it back in one piece???!!?!
