We'll paint the scene, we'll write the melody. We are the creators.

Bio

I'm Bobert, I like to roleplay, and I wouldn't be here otherwise. I enjoy creating unconventional characters, as I like to explore the different ways they might interact with others. Automatons are a favorite, 'beep bop' goes the robot.

If you're still reading this, that's cool. Hope you have a nice day

I am an interested. Evie told me this existed and so I appeared.

Been brainstorming character concepts for a while but nothing seems to be sticking. Once I have something I intend to make an app

EDIT: Oh cool, there's a proper OP now, I'll check that out
@bobert778 I see, well I can't say I didnt expect this. Well I am around, but not sure if this can ever be just picked up and get going from the point we were at. It was nice while it lasted though.


My thoughts exactly. We've gotten to the point where we've lost most of our momentum, and it would feel dragging to continue it as we are. It's unfortunate but seems to be the state of things. Before I was stubborn because I was very adamant about telling the story I intended to tell, and this was my only outlet. That's changed though, and I feel like tabletop will be a better format for some of the ideas I have.
So I went and did some traveling, that's why I haven't been at all active. Just gotta ask if anyone is still interested in this? Because it's been kinda quiet around here and I'm starting to lose my enthusiasm for this as a forum roleplay.

A while ago I started getting into D&D after having forum roleplayed for years. I was inspired to re-write and adapt this campaign as a 5e campaign, and if I'm being honest I'm more excited about playing out the story on tabletop. So the story won't go untold, which is what I promised myself, but maybe it won't be told in this way, on this website. That is unless there's still a desire to continue?

Otherwise it may be time to let things here rest. We hardly got our teeth into the story, and there were so many ways I wanted to surprise people, but again this is part of why I'm eager to see how this story plays on the tabletop. Things there flow quicker, and reactions are more volatile with dice. It's been a nice two years, and I want to thank everyone for their interest, but this might be where we stop it.

I'll still hang around in case anyone feels differently, and would still be willing to continue, but assuming that may not be the case, I'm prepared to say farewell.

Maybe not the greatest since my focus was just trying to get it out today, but I think it's alright. We're back in business, again :D
<Autumn>@LittleFae

Peering around the corner you see another alleyway, sparsely populated by a few discarded crates, refuse, and the occasional door lining the backs of buildings. A lone, hooded figure is the only person you can see, standing in the alley across from a wooden doorway, their face turned away and obscured. Their cloak is simplistic, made from a dark material and fairly plain apart from the lighter coloured trim of their sleeves and hood.

The two figures you had been following were gone, and so was the glimmer of purple light you had seen. Alone the hooded figure stood, staring towards the door across from them for a while. For nearly a minute they simply watched, staring at the shop's back as if waiting for someone, or to be let in. Eventually though they lowered their head and turned, walking down the alley and away from you.

<Sage>@Rabidporcupine

The elder's expression was stern and unyielding even as your magic had worked, the only visible reaction she had given you being when you fell to the ground in exhaustion. She still looked unhappy as you stood, but though difficult to tell it's possible her mood had improved now that the street was somewhat repaired. As you finished giving your apologies, she gave a soft huff of annoyance, taking a moment to contemplate her response before speaking.

"You can help, by not doing anything like that again until you're well outside the city. Next time you will be arrested. We can't have people using magic willy nilly, it can be dangerous. There's laws for these things," Glint lectured, a hint of exhaustion underneath her commanding tone. Apparently done with you she made a shooing motion, turning away and leaving to apparently inspect your work, two knights approaching her as soon as she had left you be.

[Tirñea]


"If he isn't arrested I suppose we can speak with him," Veronica mused, her tone suggesting she hoped that the Sage would be taken away for questioning.

Tirñea didn't blame the knight. She herself did not appreciate how bluntly this man had intruded on their day, but he seemed to know what he spoke of. Perhaps he'd have something to say that was worth listening to, or at the very least offer a better apology. He had claimed to be seeking a butcher, maybe if he were to help feed Sierpe then there would be a chance he could be forgiven.

Sierpe had picked up on the idea of food, he always did, and Tirñea felt him shift deep beneath the earth. The beast master put the thought out of her head so she wouldn't tease her friend, and waited with Veronica until the elder finally seemed to be done with him. On his own now, Tirñea looked to Veronica and motioned that the two of them reapproach the sage. Veronica nodded and strode towards the man purposefully, Tirñea following close behind.

"You, arro- ara... annoying man," Tirñea called out as they approached Sage, failing to remember the pronunciation of 'arrogant'. "If you are wanting to talk, we will talk of familiars. But only for to feed them. You buying Sierpe food to say sorry, and he may forgive you," Tirñea challenged, not knowing where a butcher might be but certain that Veronica would.

[Calieo]


The creature was panicking, at least it seemed to be. First running from it's failed attack, and now that Chambala had joined the assault it didn't seem to know what to do. The flaming trinket Chambala had tossed at the thing caused it to flinch, halting it's momentum for long enough that the huntress could channel some other form of magic. To Calieo's surprise, Chambala began to spit flames at the creature, further deterring it's approach causing it to spin and dance wildly while trying to decide on a direction to flee in. Chambala shouted towards Rebecca, who seemed to be fumbling with the strange device she hauled around, and before she could take aim with it the amorphous mass was once again barreling straight towards Denise's horse.

With a heavy slap the stone fist contacted the creature, it practically leaping into the strike. It's form shifted and distorted, rolling over and past the horse's massive arm in an attempt to cling to it. Then in one swift motion it surged off the side of Helvyra, it's flesh burnt and lacerated where it had contacted the horse. Bounding and rolling away, it's escape path was no longer exposed as it fled deep into the tall grass, apparently having escaped. It's flesh had left a translucent, blue gel like substance on Helvyra's arm, the goo sizzling and turning to smoke even as the horse recovered from the recoil of being used like a springboard. The substance smelt foul, and Calieo was quick to notice.

"OH!" she roared in disgust, slowing the swing of her weapon so she could instead focus on trying to cover her nose. As the blue substance boiled against the heat of the flames, it turned into a wispy, heavy hanging smoke that smelt worse than a thousand Muskox in the summer. The scent was almost acidic, burning at the nostrils and making it hard to focus on anything else. As the last of the substance dried out and flaked away, the smell began to dissipate, but still lingered in the air with the wisps of smoke.

"What a VILE thing," Calieo shouted to nobody, channeling her discomfort as a brief tantrum before lowering her hand from her face with a shudder. "We must escape this green before it assaults us again, Helvyra, go," the knight commanded, pointing towards the wall of unflattened grass that stood before the group. Though she tried to hide it, it was obvious the attack had stressed Calieo a fair bit. The encounter was alien to her, and she disliked the fact that such a thing could have surprised her in such a way.
I was planning to get this all out of the way a long time ago, but Bobert barely ever checks discord so yeah sorry about that


I am pretty bad at checking discord. I'm stubborn and haven't downloaded the app or anything, so to see notifications I need to remember to open the tab on my computer.

But anyways, this will be the case. I'll be solo GMing for the time being, and will probably try to write an IC post tomorrow if I have time. I'll be properly overtaking Serena to continue driving the plot, but Veronica and Rebecca may need to be shelved so that I don't have too much on my plate, I'm still thinking on that. Otherwise though this hopefully means we can bring the pace up a little, so yeah. Cool :)
Cool link

I read an article about writers block, pretty simple but still interesting
NOT TOO IMPORTANT IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT


I have redone the map of the Obivec Isles. I'll be putting up the new one on the front page after I post this, so I put the old map here for comparison and to say goodbye :P. I was attempting to fix a few of the issues the old map had, such as being cut off at the top, having rivers that lead to nowhere, poorly defined forest borders, etc.



So correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is @Rabidporcupine and @Kamen Evie turn? Just figured I'd ask in case said folks hadn't realized :)

How was everyone's new years? Any resolutions? Mine was to smoke less pot. Ironic considering they recently legalized it here in Canada XP


MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRY X-MAS, PITIFUL HUUUMANZZZZZ!!!

Or, Christmas eve I guess. Still, merriness abound.
