Among The Shadows - Discussion Thread

Ask questions about the setting, propose quests and loot, plot out how your characters are gonna take down Galdur or just talk about whatever.

Hmm first we gotta meet up. I take it we may be getting to the rebel stronghold at the beginning and from there we can plot our courses and in general interact with one another.

Sounds good to me!

Sounds like a plan.

And my character is probably the tallest in the cast, at least among those who had their height specified. The tallest ones so far are still 5 inches shorter than him

Are you referring to the RP OOC or the resistance IC?

Because in terms of the latter, what I meant is that he's still going to claim that he's a lich, since that's what he currently thinks is the case.

Even if he is wrong, he doesn't know any better.

IC, sorry. I failed to clarify that properly.

Basically, a lich would be seen as a threat no matter his good intentions and would be dealt with accordingly.

Right. Well, he's still going to think he's a lich.

I suppose I can just say that he found out that telling people he's a lich is a bad idea. Somehow.

If possible he could meet up with Phantom first. He wouldn't care at all whether he's a lich or not and could give him the needed advice so he doesn't get killed again. Though he would be keeping an eye on him just to be safe.

Hawk gave a barely audible huff and the slightest of shrugs. "I like skeletons," she murmured, just loud enough to be heard. "Their armor measurements don't change."

Sorry. Thought it was funny.

...Um, I'vee been taught to smite skeletons on sight. Sorry, Paladin teachings.

Well I mean they bake so clearly they are a powerful ally that we must sway to our side.

I feel Alexia and Phantom are going to have an interesting dynamic considering one is a by-the-book Paladin and the other is pretty much a Paladin in all but personality and probably appearance

Calis is likely going to be another one of the people with a strong dislike of Rarkell. She lost her home, and was torn apart from her family because of abominations just like him. It's going to take more than killing a few disposable zombies to convince her that Rarkell isn't an evil abomination. On the other hand, there's very little she can actually do to hurt him. Should be a fun dynamic.

First post of the RP should be up tonight if all goes well. Sorry for keeping you all waiting so long.

No problems and looking forward to it!

@Full Moon: My current thought was that maybe sometime before the start of the RP, Rarkell encountered a single survivor, told them he was a lich, and they freaked out. So he thought, "hmm, maybe I shouldn't tell people that anymore."

Well, that could work as well. It's all up to you really. I just thought it could lead to a fun conversation among the two characters

Yeeeeahhh, Pan isn't going to like joining forces with a lich. At least not until the Crail gives Rarkell the seal of approval. Then he'll suddenly love the idea!

Going to have to figure out how to make Gregor tolerate Rarkell's presence, what with his backstory. Might be a good source of dramatic (but not OOC, hopefully) tension.

Sorry for the wait on the first post, having some technical difficulties with the Open Office doc I'm writing it up with.

Ever try Google Docs?

I always use Google Docs for that kind of thing.

I guess Notepad is always an option for simple things too. Anyway though, no worries if there are technical difficulties slowing things down. All troubles pass with time.

I usually use Microsoft Office .odt files, but I don't really have a problem with them.

... -cough-
