Rashemen OOC - 2

Remove all ads!

Hey guys. I've recovered. I had a severe case of Neverwinter Nights addiction. It totally sapped my roleplay muse. Sorry for leaving you all in the lurch and blowing everyone, especially Elwithral, off.

I've managed to catch up on the rp. I think if I limit myself to just one RP in SP I'll manage to fight off my NWN cravings enough to keep current.

Good job leading, Nakia!

 

Oh Joyous days. Welcome home, Scot. I do understand the problem. I'm involved with Morrowind.

Thank you for the kind words. Nakia has grown a lot which will be important when we get to her quest.

Welcome back, Benan. You and Scot have an interesting script going there.

Now we need to hear from Mauro. I'm rather counting on him when I introduce ya'all to my hometown.

 

Hallo Scot, glad to see you back and in tip top shape. PS, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

 

@ Nakia: I'm here! I'll be happy to continue wherever I was left at. In fact I don't know where I am anymore.

If you are kind to PM me and let me know where we are, so I can follow. That will be great

@ Scot & Benan: Welcome back to both of you! I'm special impressed by Scot comeback part. Very nice post

 

What on earth is going on? One minute we were dealing with undead in a swamp and suddenly there are mindflayers. Who is where and what is happening?

 

You're all still in the swamp dealing with undead and the necromancer. Sepp was being held deep underground by aboleths with mindflayer assistants, and was about to be eaten, when he grabbed on to Jex just as Jex was being pulled through a dimensional gate.

This next part will be somewhat confusing, just play along if you read this. Jex and Sepp are in a pocket plane of the death dimension that was formed when all the bodies from the battle were dumped unceremoniously in the swamp.

Jex was summoned to that plane by the necromancer who created the undead, as he hasn't had a spirit/soul since dying in Sepp's home long ago, and Sepp came along for the ride. Sepp is now underneath the mansion in the swamp, having been summoned by the necromancer, however, since he just came out of the death pocket plane, his perceptions are skewed. He sees the undead creatures and animals as beautiful creatures, and the necromancer as a goodly lord, while he sees the party as demons who are attacking them.

The party will perceive Sepp, and Jex, if he comes through the gate, as crimson covered shadows. We will be attacking on the side of the necromancer until somebody figures out how to get the blood membrane off of us and we perceive things normally again. Hopefully only the paladin npc will die or get dreadfully hurt before we figure things out.

 

Die? Who dies? Nakia can't die! No way, no how! Just think of her as wearing Imoen's belt. She can be down to 0 HP but still alive.

Too much trouble if she dies. I would have to ask Tal for a new name and a new avatar and think of the confusion that would cause. Plus messing up another thread.

 

Don't worry Nakia, just stay away from Jex's scimitars!

 

Hmm...the reason Del's being so quiet right now might actually be an advantage in this situation. You see, she's kind of, well...obsessed with Jex at the moment. If it weren't for Nakia dragging her along on this little excursion, she'd still be sitting on that log outside town worrying about him. (I always create a reason when I'm going to be gone from something, and given what had been developing so far, that's what I came up with.) So instead, she's following the group without being able to contribute, still worrying about Jex. But this seemed a bit too much drama to make an actual post about it, which is why I haven't made a post yet since I made the decision to come back.

Where this might come in as an advantage is recognizing his fighting style. If this "blood membrane" doesn't distort normal form beyond generalizing it, so that the forms of blades and humanoid shape are distinguishable, Jex's moves could clue Del in fairly quickly. What she makes of it won't be the truth, though, and instead of trying to help him, she'll probably go berserk. She's not smart enough to clue into that right away, so someone else will need to consult with her (the sudden radical change in behavior during the battle should be enough for a big "WTF!?") and make the intuitive jump.

 

Yes, Felinoid, I was thinking of something like that. The blood membrane just makes us look shadowy and crimson, but you will see a humanoid form with two curved blades and a smaller one with one small blade.

I was also thinking of Del, wasn't it she who long ago looked at Jex and saw that he had no soul/spirit, or only a very scant one.

Maybe having met his father's spirit and come out of death into life, somewhat like being born again, Del can look at Jex again, maybe in checking both Sepp and him out to make sure they're the real McKoy, and discover that he has a soul again.

Might even lead to Del reconciling with Jex.

 

Also, remember that Nakia and the drow Brothers are linked to Sepp and Jex. I think this should come into play some way. Now that they are back on the same Plane they should be able to sense each other albeit raggedly.

 

I must apologize for not posting recently myself. Elendia has fallen into a sort of vision and while I am working on writing the vision I'm finding RL very time consuming. Go figure. I will post when the vision quest is finished but probably not until after the fight.

 

Apology accepted but not necessary. We post as we can and wish.

A comment on where we are. I am imagining us to be in a large cavern in a stone island in the swamp with a wizard's tower built above it. At the far end from where we are fighting steps lead up to the tower. How we got there was through a narrow entrance tunnel we found in our explorations.

Please add your own ideas/embellishments.

 

Let's not forget about the blood pool under the Tower. We need to clean that up before we finish here and I have a job for Atten if he doesn't think of it first. Our devines should do a little cleaning too.

 

11 pages.

 

I have been reading Rashemen, and I was wondering maybe I could reclaim Kelvados, since he is already in the group there wouldn't be too much trouble, just an idea.

 

Fine with me, check with your cousin. Should be okay.

 

Work it out with Elwithral. Just remember that Nakia and the brothers are very good friends, brothers -in-arms and Kelvados seems to have a warm spot in his cold heart for Sepp.

 

Deffo. I've been trying to get Dalamar back into Rashemen for months. Not very hard, mind you. Anyway, I've been informing him of what's been done, and what has changed over time, so he should be in good shape to continue.

Yes, Delinos and Kelvados have grown accustomed to the two halflings, Sepp and Nakia. The others are still wary of the Drow a little bit, so they do not trust as easily.

 

Jex has no problem with the drow. The others might, Jex doesn't.
