I updated Ialu's CS. I think it's a lot better now.

His old sheet is still there, to reflect what he was like as a hero.

The Horde of Evil - Tresspassing through treacherous tribes' territory! (RP closed)

@PhoenixFire @Lugubrious

Well, there's now thirty dwarves (some armed) running around looking for Xallihion's enslaved miners and the new tunnels (the ones that Clotho's bugs have been digging). So assuming that Xallihion comes out to deal with that and Clotho's soldiers find themselves under attack, it will be a good way for the two of you to come into contact. Maybe you two come to a quick agreement of sorts and decide to attack the dwarves together.

@Didos@Elitestpotato

The dwarves are starting to freak out, so now is a fine time to swoop in and make them start killing each other.

@Bright_Ops

They shut the main gate and now have some guards at the entrance, but your plan to mess with their ventilation shafts could still be put into action.

To everybody else at the human village, the defenders in the middle of the town could be quickly crushed because they're still half asleep ad trying to organize and their leader hasn't showed up yet. Ironically putting out the fires might also be a good idea, so that part of the town is still left over once this is all over.

Kalgrin, Dwarven Colony

The Macula stared on at the door, its eyes seemingly vacant. Lurking in the shadows, the bug was nearly invisible. That was, until a servant paying no heed to her steps almost tripped over the oversized bug. With a scream, she fell backwards onto the cold stone floor of the tunnels and scrabbled away. The food and ale that she had carried on a platter spilled everywhere, though it was not that the insect seemed interested in. Lifelessly as ever, it simply stared.

A guard quickly arrived, and seeing the Macula, dispatched of the bug easily enough. Holding his grip on the dagger that he had plunged into the Macula's carapace, Urist examined the disgusting thing. Foul juices had squirted out of it, he realized with some revulsion. Using the dagger stuck in it as a handle, he opened the door that the servant had headed towards. Through that door was the Guildmaster's office and quarters. Their Guildmaster was many things: he was the one who tracked their profits, maintained the books on their population and wealth, traded with the caravans, and served as liaison to the Mountainhome. Beyond that, he was their employer, their mayor, their godfather of sorts, but most importantly the de facto leader of their little colony.

It was to him that they went to ask what was to be done about the recent state of affairs. Several of the deep-miners had gone missing (though there had been no sound of collapse and a few of those that went to search for them went missing themselves) and an infestation of the strange Macula, to boot.

"Is that you, Urist?" the elderly Guildmaster asked, his vision failing him even in the cheerfully lit office. "You may approach. What is it? Word of the missing miners?"

Urist brandished the Macula skewered on his dagger and brought it closer for the Guildmaster to examine. He tried to no avail to not have the dead bug drip its juices onto the floor. "No, Master. It is these strange..." Urist suddenly stopped at a loss for words, but then found his tongue, "...These strange bugs. These things. We don't know where they came from, but they're everywhere. They don't seem to hurt anything or eat our food, but there's something funny about their eyes. They just stare."

As if to prove his point, the freshly slain Macula continued to gaze with its empty eyes, looking straight at the troubled face of the Guildmaster. There was then a knock on the door before another three of Urist's fellow guards came in, carrying crates full of the dead bugs. One of them spoke, "You found another one on the way, Urist?" Looking at the thing on Urist's dagger with contempt, that guard then turned to the Guildmaster. "Master, these bugs are everywhere. Even more troubling is the geomancer. While he was prospecting, he said that he thought he sensed other tunnels near our mineshafts. Tunnels that we didn't dig."

The Guildmaster scratched his head. "Maybe those bugs burrowed their way inside our home? Or maybe the missing miners made those tunnels? Could just be another cavern." The Guildmaster took off his spectacle and cleaned it as he often did when troubled.

Knowing that the other would have no answer to his questions, he thought the circumstances over for a moment before coming to a decision. At last the Guildmaster said, "I don't know what's going on, but I don't like it. Keep the colony on high alert. Make sure that the tunnels to the surface are thoroughly closed, the traps are set, and the watchers are in place. And no more small search parties; I want three groups of ten good men to go down into the deep mines. Miners and guards, both. Find out if the prospector was right about new tunnels appearing, and if he was, find out what in the stone is going on."

The dwarves scurried out of the room to obey their orders. The Guildmaster turned towards the freshly slain Macula once again, and compared it to the others. All of their eyes now looked glazed over. That was funny, he could have sworn that the first one had been looking at him funny throughout the whole conversation. Perhaps he was just losing his mind along with his vision...

Meanwhile, at the human village

As Cold Stare and Balothiss suddenly descended upon the town, followed shortly after by Athinar and any at his heels, all hell quickly broke loose. Screams rang out as many were taken unaware and slain by Cold Stare, and in the chaos a few oil lamps were dropped. They broke and what started as a few small fires quickly grew into a raging fire, while Balothiss charged straight to the burning buildings and began killing the villagers nearby. The Overlord, back in the Dungeon, watched that with some amount of displeasure. He wanted most of those people alive, but then again, a few dead ones would be fine. It would be interesting to see how Athinar handled this, if he even handled it. His authority and impression were rapidly being eroded while one of those under his command flagrantly disobeyed orders by attacking the civilians.

In any case, the fire and screams quickly caught the attention of those within the center of the city. The fires already in the city and screams coming from numerous directions now, the defenders assumed that their pallisade was already breached. Rather than charge to the walls to fight, their best chance would be to group up in the town's center and then go to where they would be best placed, to save as many lives as possible.

Any guard that wasn't within sight of one of the attackers would begin to run down the dusky roads towards the town square. The sorcerers inside the Temple spilled out as well, in addition to perhaps twenty or thirty of the men at arms that had been stationed in the town's barracks. They all looked to the manor, where the knight that lorded over this village lived. That knight was currently hurriedly searching for his enchanted sword and armor, though once his already awake squire helped him into that, he would be out in a minute and ready to rally the defenders and lead the charge through the streets.

So would wands work basically like a multi use scroll? And if they did exist I was gonna only have a Wand and maybe 2 scrolls of the weaker spells, like a wand of Magic Missle. And I was really mostly asking if it would be possible to create them, as that and researching would be the majority of Xallihion's down time. But thank you for answering my question XD.

@PhoenixFire

I'll let you make them however you want because I don't want to be limiting others' creativity. The lore and setting are vague enough for anybody to have any power, item, or form of magic that they want (within reason, of course). Just try not to contradict with anything somebody else had said/done.

I suppose that instead of PM'ing I'll just post it here, so that anybody else who cares can see what Ialu has done.

Ialu's life story:

-A mysterious being inserted its essence into a primitive woman. She gave birth to Ialu, who grew to adulthood within a few days.

-Ialu left the cave and began fighting off the local Dyun and Cimex that plagued the last vestiges of humanity. He discovered himself to have an affinity for fighting and to be almost invulnerable to conventional attacks.

-His inhuman strength meant that he gathered followers. Part of his nomadic group left, but he settled down with a significant portion of them and created a village.

-His village grew and they fortified it. Eventually he named his Creator-God the Mighty One, declared that his village would be called the Strong Tribe and would fight for and worship the Mighty One alone, and banned all other worship within his village.

-The Strong Tribe invented a new form of Wi and hunted dragons, using their hides to fashion armor.

-Ferghus sent an Arma Igna to the Strong Tribe. The strange being showed them the way of the forge and offered them a gift of many masterwork swords, but once the Arma Igna asked them to worship Ferghus they banished him. Though they do not use forges, they did keep the swords that he gave as gifts.

-Over the years other flocked to Ialu for protection. Some joined the Strong Tribe, but most settled nearby and became his vassals. The vassal villages have their owns chiefs, make use of blacksmithing, and are allowed to worship gods besides the Mighty One.

-The Dyun Champion, bearer of Vestec's Sword of Chaos, attacked the Strong Tribe. Though Ialu lost many hunters, he slew the champion and claimed its sword.

-Vestec himself spoke to Ialu, though he claimed to be the Mighty One. He ordered Ialu to travel to Garakai and challenge Viscardi.

-Unable to see through Vestec's facade, Ialu did as he was ordered and defeated Garakai's chieftain. From that point on he has had a tenuous control over Garakai and the North.

-Ferghus finally caught wind of Ialu and came to visit him in person. Ialu insulted the Forge God to his face and defied him, and for that he was cursed to never be able to wield a weapon again.

@Blackmist16

I imagine we are slowinG down because the intro to an RP is always more exciting, and we are currently just walking to a room

@Hael

I don't know about you all, but I was stylishly staggering into the room while bumping a troll. Exciting stuff.

<Snipped quote by KabenSaal>

Everyone does that so don't worry. Besides, worry about what the Illithid will be doing in his hidden chambers with his slaves. Also @Cyclone does magic Scrolls or Wands exist and if so how difficult are they to make?

@PhoenixFire

They exist if somebody wants them to exist. Seeing as you asked, I figure that you want a character to have them. Let's just say that there are a few really powerful ones that are extremely difficult to make, and a bunch of reasonably powered ones that are easier.

The Horde of Evil - Tresspassing through treacherous tribes' territory! (RP closed)

So we continue our evil adventures then?

@Blackmist16

Yes. With Lugubrious' post we'll be able to move on with the part about dwarves.

Ideally @yPro would do a post with Shukra moving the orcs and beginning to charge the village, but I suppose with Cold Stare and Balothiss already wreaking havoc the soldiers and priests can swarm out and we'll start the battle.
