Bio
I enjoy roleplaying, a lot more then I would like to admit. My favorite genres are medieval, sci-fi, and dungeons and dragons style role plays. I find myself okay with GMing my own roleplays, but I would rather be involved in a roleplay where I dont have to build something all the way up and then regulate that role play as well as run it. I have many oc's as well, all made to fill in for different purposes.

Lol sorry been busy myself so no worries... Been job hunting.
Well that sucked... My Internet was out... I will be doing a post tonight so anyone who still needs to post should get one done.
How's everyone going?
That's cool take your time
Wall posted and go ahead and auto kill your drow if you want. Just make it interesting.
Cassandra listened to De's question and began to think up a answer. She looked to the walls, floor, and ceiling trying to see if she had been here before. If she had then it was closed up soon after she reached the surface world of the world. Perhaps that's why she felt nostalgic when they entered the room with the faint gorge. She looked to De and then forward again. "Perhaps,... But it's been a long time sense I have been down here. It seems familiar." Once more she tried to recall and she began to remember bits and pieces. It was then they entered a stone room. A pretty good sized rectangular room with pillars. Three on each side, then they appeared in front of them blocking their advancement. Three drow. The drow waited conveniently for the group to be completely inside to the point three more emerged from behind pillars behind them. The drow were mainly male except for one. This one stare closely towards Cassandra, the drow was female and seemed to be the one in charge of this group of drow. As she looked to the left and right more drow poked out and around equalling the amount of people within the group.
Cassandra did know the face of the woman though. "Well, now that I see you I know who is behind our little ambush..." She looked to De and sighed. "Sorry De but it looks like my house, my family, has come to kill me." She looked back at the woman and rose her rapier up tell the point of its blade was aimed at her. "I give you Clair,... She is low ranking drow and used to be under my charge." She added.
Clair snorted and spat at the ground. "Low ranking?... At least I am not a taitor like you." She snapped, she drew forth her whip. Long and black with three tails at the end. At the end if each tail were hooks. The hooks made a distinct sound as they hit the ground. Clair then glared heavily in Cassandra's direction. "With your death my seat will be risen from its spot..." She said and swung her arm back fling the whip behind her. She then swung it forward again launching the whip forward. Cassandra brought her Rapier up to block but the whip wrapped around the blade and cut three slashes into Cassandra's face. She was able to avoid serious damage though. She the grabbed the long rope with her free hand and with her full strength pulled on it sending Clair to the ground. Clair smacked her face into the floor and growled as she began to look up.
"What are you doing just standing there attack!" Clair yelled. The two male drow beside her and the ones surrounding the group charged forward. They weilded two scimitars one in each hand. When they came in, they came in swinging. Clair got up tossing the hilt of her whip to the ground in anger and drew out her own Rapier. She then charged forward coming at Cassandra.
Ishmael heard the movement all around them as they moved deeper into the huge rectangular room. He then heard Cassandra address the drow woman blocking their path. He could sense that the two had a bitter history and when the woman snapped her whip he knew the fighting had begun again. Before it got heated with the drow who so kindly surrounded them came charging he looked to Nova who was now behind him after he turned to face the drow on his right. "Stay close to me... And keep me covered." He said. He brought up his sword just as his opponent swung in his direction. Sparks flew as the blades made contact. He was stronger then the drow male though and pushed forward not giving the drow any mercy. As he pushed the drow back he removed a hand from the hilt of his blade and a beam of light shot out and into the drow's face. The light blinded him briefly giving Ishmael the time to use his blade to sweep the drow off his feet. In the same motion he turned the blade around and slammed its point down slamming into the drow's stomach. He twisted his blade until the life in it's eye left.
Heinrich watched as the room was turned into a arena. He could see drow charging in equal to the amount they had. Which was luck in itself. He noticed the drow coming at the left side. Erandur couldn't get all of them so he prepared in his hand a ball of lightning as he moved his staff up to block the drow's attack. It was here that it was revealed that he was stronger then his baggy robes let on. As he held the drow for a second the hand which preped the lightning ball came forward and under his staff exploding a hole right through the drow's belly releasing electricity in its entire body while launching it back. He shook his hand to remove the effects of the lightning as he stood up right.
Urthak was probably the most capable among the group. De was likely stronger or just as strong. However, Urthak was more brutal. When his drow reached him he rose up his blade holding a part of the blade with his left hand while the right held the hilt. When the blades meet he kicked forward with his right foot. The talons dug into the stomach of the drow as the foot kicked him away. He then followed up with lowering his right and spinning around with his left foot coming across to kick him to the side. Urthak then stepped forward and swung down with his blade but the drow blocked it. Their blades locked as Urthak pressed against the man. The Lizards strength going up against the drow elf. The brutal part came next. As Urthak pressed he got closer and closer, until he was close enough to lunge his head forward opening his mouth to bite into the drow's jugular and tear it out. He rose back up spitting the dark flesh out as he watched the drow bleed out.
Aeria with her Claymore drawn knew not what to expect. Her opponent had two weapons to her one. She swung her blade outwards as the drow neared. It ducked underneath and slid swinging forward. But not with its blade but its knuckles which wrapped around the hilt. When his right connected he was instantly countered though with Aeria's reflexes which told her to slam her elbows downwards which hit the drow on his back as he slid past her. This resulted in his face against the floor. She then turned and swung with her leg as he started to turn around. Her foot connected with his face putting him out.
Cassandra did know the face of the woman though. "Well, now that I see you I know who is behind our little ambush..." She looked to De and sighed. "Sorry De but it looks like my house, my family, has come to kill me." She looked back at the woman and rose her rapier up tell the point of its blade was aimed at her. "I give you Clair,...

Well I hope that post came along well for people.
Drow
The Drow did not enjoy it when their targets began to return fire. Especially Ezekiel and Danika. Ezekiel's eyes light up though when he noticed what the elf Elendil did as he saw the arrow of flames shoot towards them. He looked to his fellow kinsmen and swung his arms out, "Retreat!" He yelled and as one got up to do exactly that an arrow from Erandur nailed the drow elf in the chest causing Ezekiel to curse. He began to evacuate his drow hunters out just as the flame arrow hit causing several debri to fall and for parts of the ledge to collapse. He lost three other men from the attack and almost lost Danika if he had not moved to catch her hand. He pulled her up and exited not even caring if the other two remaining drow with them made it safe. "Damn that wizard and damn those bloody elves, I hope Nerull cuts their throats in their sleep." He barked.
Danika looked up at him and sighed. "Don't worry we got two drow out and we at least killed one of the elves,..." She said pausing trying to comfort him. He looked up to her and his hatred left him and he nodded. "Your right Danika, the ambush up a ways should finish off the remaining people..."
"I doubt it..." She said and he looked up at her raising a brow and lowering the other. "We have warriors waiting for them, and from what I could see they have some very good fighters with them. Slow them down maybe but not finish them off. We can hope all we want my love but its just false hope in the end." She said. She then rose up to her full height and looked to the two remaining drow. Ariel was the one on the left and on the right was a male drow named Malakai. She sighed and then looked back to Ezekiel. "These tunnels go on for ever with many turns we will have another chance, lets go back and plan for another hit." She said and Ezekiel decided that she was right after all. So what if they lost four drow back there, they died because they were weak.
Cassandra
Cassandra wished De was wrong and that there was not another ambush ahead but they had no other choice. They had to keep moving and the chances of another attack coming on them at closer range would not be good for them. Not at all, His plan was a good one though. The strong take up the front to fight against any close range fighters and to provide cover for their own ranged attackers. However, when they reached the exit she looked to see that Deedlith had been hit by one of the arrows and she grimaced. She knew the venom would be coursing through her veins right about now and soon she would die. Sooner then one would think. Cassandra looked to Ishmael and shook her head. "Don't waste your spells, you may be a paladin but those arrows were laced with a toxin that will kill her in a couple seconds,... I hate to sound cold but she is already gone. She looked back to Deedlith and could see the woman already foaming at the mouth and in not time her eyes suddenly rolled back and she was gone. Cassandra looked away. "See,... we should get going sense the elves have pushed their bowmen back. We shall reform our positions so that the close ranged fighters such as myself, De, Urthak, Kyoto, Kyoko, Ishmael, and Erandur can keep the ranged attackers safe... Aeria your with us as well. Nova, Elendil, Heinrich, Ryoko you will be in the middle." She said. She then looked to De and then two others positioning herself next to him as they proceeded to move.
Ishmael
Ishmael was about to ignore the drow elf as he looked to her and heard her words. He then looked back to Deedlith and saw the truth in them. He looked to Aeria and bowed his head. "I am sorry for your friend but she is already gone, my spells can heal the living but I have none that can bring her back from the dead." He said. He then listened to Cassandra's next set of words and he looked to Nova and then back to her nodding. "I will take position then.." He said as he moved to join them in their going forward.
Urthak
Urthak felt a little bad for the human but there was nothing he could do or say. He just moved over and lifted her up. "We have not time for funerals... wont be long before we are fighting again and right now the only way you can help her is by surviving this." He said. He knew not their history and did not care to learn it. Right now there was only one thing on his mind and that was survival. There was a time for grieving but now was not it. He then positioned himself to the opposite side of Ishmael with his sword out and ready. Ishmael took the sign as well to draw weapons.
Heinrich
Heinrich turned and listened to the words of his companions. There was wisdom in their words and he felt a bit proud of them. Despite Cassandra's coldness towards the now dead elf, but she knew what she was talking about. This was a opponent she knew about and she would know how to combat them and she must of seen the greatness in De's plan and went with it. If a physical fight went among them and these drow were the fighters more able then the others?... or were the fighters just more skilled and stronger then these drow. He would ask her later and more. She knew what to expect and that could be useful. He took his position in the middle right behind De and Cassandra so he could direct them of where to go if they came to a cross-way.
Aeria
Aeria looked up at Cassandra with anger at her words. To give up on a companion was so cruel and when she looked back to her childhood friend she could see that even if it was cold of her, she knew it would be futile. Still, she should not have just given up, not when it was Deedlith that they were talking about. She grew up with her and she enjoyed the times they had together... but that would all end now. She suddenly felt herself getting lifted up by the lizard man and his words hit her and hit her strong. She did nothing by just sitting here. They had to get out and survive no matter what. She could always tell others about Deedlith and keep her immortalized in her thoughts.

She could always tell others about Deedlith and keep her immortalized in her thoughts.
Heinrich
Heinrich had ignored the attempts of the monk as he tried to get information out of him about the Chalice. No it was best that he did not know about its power, none of them should know anything like that about it. All they need to know is that in the wrong hands it can bring to the world a dark silence of destruction and despair. There may come a time when he must tell them everything but it wasn't now. Right now they did not need answers, they needed someone to lead therm to it and that was his job. He only prayed to the holy divine that someone had not already beaten them to it. The light from his staff was the only thing illuminating the small area the group was in. The light was a good radius surrounding the whole group just so that they could see the steps they were taking downwards. He would not want one of them to slip and fall into the void of the unknown depths of this chasm. Sound travels a long ways in subterranean environments such as this. The sound of the drops hitting the water below could be who knows how deep. Then there is the question of the deepness of the water below. Would it be deep enough for one to fall into it and not crack open their skulls on the rocks below its surface. Then again if it is really far down that water could feel like hitting a rock and kill someone. As he traveled downwards he began to notice the door way that would lead them out. It was still a good distance away. Perhaps a mile from them maybe more. He smiled and took a deep breathe and then let if back out. "So far so good..." He said particularly to no one.
Cassandra
Cassandra noticed De had suddenly stared at her as if trying to figure out what was going on with her. "You know those times when you suddenly think of your home? I just had one of those moments, it was a a good memory and like most of them of my homeland they get flooded by the bad memories every time I have them." She then looked away narrowing her eyes as she began to move once more and once she was back at the man's side she continued. "My greatest fear, is that I would die by my own kin's hand. It would be the worse kind of death imaginable for me. I know it is different with humans such as yourself it's just... the only drow that would want me dead are the ones from my house. You see the drow society works in what we call houses, and it is the high ranking ones that make up the governing body with a council at the top. Something like a drow going rogue or deserting their house is disgraceful. The only way they could clear that is by killing the traitor. Problem is I still have a place in my heart for some of the members ,if not all, from my house. So you can understand now how it must feel, the thought of being hunted by your brothers and sisters,... and perhaps even your mother and father." She said. As she walked with him though suddenly as sound from the otherside of the dark chasm made her ear twitch and out of a reaction she slammed on the breaks stopping her movement. She even outstretched her arm to stop De as well.
This reaction saved both of them as a black arrow coated with a deadly toxin flew past them and broke against the wall to their right. She looked to the arrow and her eyes widened as her worse fear may have been realized. However, she did not let herself freeze because of it. She looked to De and said one simple word. "Run!.." She Yelled.
Urthak
Urthak rolled his eyes as the elf suddenly approached him from behind and joined his side and asked him about his feelings for the misty atmosphere and he shrugged. He decided that just ignoring him would be rude and would not do them any good. "Yes, I do like it. It feels good against my scales." He answered and then he contemplated on whether he should tell this elf about his homeland. He looked over at the elf and sneered at him. He had the look of..'what are you thinking?'. Then the sound of Cassandra yelling the word run got him to look to her and then towards the darkness to their left. He saw it just in time for him to bring up his falchion. It's large blade made it real easy for him to deflect the air. What unnerved him was he could smell the vile scent of the poison on it. He turned around to face Elendil. "Well you heard her... Run!" He then began to run down as well.
Ishmael
Ishmael finally had a feeling like someone was staring at him rather intently and when he looked to who it was he saw Erandur and then Nova's words rang through his head and sighed. He looked over to Nova and sighed he moved close to her grabbing her hand and lifting it up. "Sorry, I did not mean to make you sad, of course you didn't know. How could you?... Do not feel guilty for something that not even I had no control over." He said his eyes full of sympathy. Then the sound of the arrow cracking against the wall, with Cassandra's yell for them to run soon following it, caused him to turn to face the darkness. He saw a arrow going right for Nova. His behavior followed as such with suddenly pulling her close to him and moving to her left side using his back as a shield. Suddenly without even muttering a word, white wings spread out from his back and covered them with the wings. When the air hit the wings it, along with the wings shattered. The spell was a simple shield spell which caused the arrow to splinter and shatter. He then quickly guided her along using his own body as a human shield.
Aeria and Deedlith
Aeria had positioned her self behind Kyoto with Deedlith to her right. She listened to the conversation that Kyoto and the other woman were having and it seemed rather nice. Then like all good peaceful moments. It all came to a end and for her, her reflexes saved her. She bent her back a bit more backwards as a arrow shot past her but for Deedlith,... she was not so lucky. The air that nearly hit Aeria hit her, not in a usually killing spot for it did not go in so deep thanks to the armor she wore. However, the pain at her side from the venom she could not ignore as well as the blunt trauma of getting flung to the ground from the force of the arrow. Aeria looked to her elven companion and her face filled with distress as she moved to Deedlith. She did her best helping her friend up to her feet and running with her. Using her own strength as a support for her. This attack would force them all to run farther down the rabbit hole with Heinrich standing at the door way that he had seen earlier.
Heinrich stood there waiting for each member to go past him and into the exit out of the killzone. He then began using his magic to send magic missiles, floating orbs with long thin tails that explode when contacted with a target, towards the arrows that were shot out. It wasn't too hard for him sense from the count of the arrows there were not that many archers shooting at them.
Unknown Enemy
"Damn traitor just had to keep herself from getting hit by the arrow as well as her human friend...." One of the drow spoke as she fitted another arrow onto her bow and took aim. She released it and found her efforts for another try thwarted by the mages magic. She growled but felt a hand touch her shoulder. She looked up behind her to Ezekiel. She blushed slightly at him.
"Don't let your anger get the best of you, he cant hit everyone of our arrows." He said as he looked to the other archers. Danika followed his gaze and then looked back to their targets and saw that they had some difficult targets to hit. However, they did nail one target though, and it just happened to be one of the stinking elves. "Nice shot Ariel, you killed one of the elves anyways,... let's see if we can hit the others and Cassandra the traitor." She said with a bit of glee. Ezekiel smiled at her enjoyment as he watched the group run for their lives. That mage was good though but he did not care. The message they sent was clear,... 'That they were prey to a much more prestine and superior race of beings known as the drow.
"The only advantage they have and the only help they have are Cassandra and our Surface cousins. Their low light sensitivity gives them the advantage he. We must kill them all first and then we can play with the rest,... perhaps save the pink haired one. Me and Danika would love to play with that one ourselves."
Heinrich had ignored the attempts of the monk as he tried to get information out of him about the Chalice. No it was best that he did not know about its power, none of them should know anything like that about it. All they need to know is that in the wrong hands it can bring to the world a dark silence of destruction and despair. There may come a time when he must tell them everything but it wasn't now.

You see the drow society works in what we call houses, and it is the high ranking ones that make up the governing body with a council at the top. Something like a drow going rogue or deserting their house is disgraceful. The only way they could clear that is by killing the traitor. Problem is I still have a place in my heart for some of the members ,if not all, from my house. So you can understand now how it must feel, the thought of being hunted by your brothers and sisters,... and perhaps even your mother and father." She said. As she walked with him though suddenly as sound from the otherside of the dark chasm made her ear twitch and out of a reaction she slammed on the breaks stopping her movement. She even outstretched her arm to stop De as well.
This reaction saved both of them as a black arrow coated with a deadly toxin flew past them and broke against the wall to their right. She looked to the arrow and her eyes widened as her worse fear may have been realized. However, she did not let herself freeze because of it. She looked to De and said one simple word. "Run!.." She Yelled.
Urthak
Urthak rolled his eyes as the elf suddenly approached him from behind and joined his side and asked him about his feelings for the misty atmosphere and he shrugged. He decided that just ignoring him would be rude and would not do them any good. "Yes, I do like it. It feels good against my scales." He answered and then he contemplated on whether he should tell this elf about his homeland. He looked over at the elf and sneered at him. He had the look of..'what are you thinking?'. Then the sound of Cassandra yelling the word run got him to look to her and then towards the darkness to their left. He saw it just in time for him to bring up his falchion. It's large blade made it real easy for him to deflect the air. What unnerved him was he could smell the vile scent of the poison on it. He turned around to face Elendil. "Well you heard her... Run!" He then began to run down as well.
Ishmael
Ishmael finally had a feeling like someone was staring at him rather intently and when he looked to who it was he saw Erandur and then Nova's words rang through his head and sighed. He looked over to Nova and sighed he moved close to her grabbing her hand and lifting it up. "Sorry, I did not mean to make you sad, of course you didn't know. How could you?... Do not feel guilty for something that not even I had no control over." He said his eyes full of sympathy. Then the sound of the arrow cracking against the wall, with Cassandra's yell for them to run soon following it, caused him to turn to face the darkness. He saw a arrow going right for Nova. His behavior followed as such with suddenly pulling her close to him and moving to her left side using his back as a shield. Suddenly without even muttering a word, white wings spread out from his back and covered them with the wings. When the air hit the wings it, along with the wings shattered. The spell was a simple shield spell which caused the arrow to splinter and shatter. He then quickly guided her along using his own body as a human shield.
Aeria and Deedlith
Aeria had positioned her self behind Kyoto with Deedlith to her right. She listened to the conversation that Kyoto and the other woman were having and it seemed rather nice. Then like all good peaceful moments. It all came to a end and for her, her reflexes saved her. She bent her back a bit more backwards as a arrow shot past her but for Deedlith,... she was not so lucky. The air that nearly hit Aeria hit her, not in a usually killing spot for it did not go in so deep thanks to the armor she wore. However, the pain at her side from the venom she could not ignore as well as the blunt trauma of getting flung to the ground from the force of the arrow. Aeria looked to her elven companion and her face filled with distress as she moved to Deedlith. She did her best helping her friend up to her feet and running with her. Using her own strength as a support for her. This attack would force them all to run farther down the rabbit hole with Heinrich standing at the door way that he had seen earlier.
Heinrich stood there waiting for each member to go past him and into the exit out of the killzone. He then began using his magic to send magic missiles, floating orbs with long thin tails that explode when contacted with a target, towards the arrows that were shot out. It wasn't too hard for him sense from the count of the arrows there were not that many archers shooting at them.
Unknown Enemy
"Damn traitor just had to keep herself from getting hit by the arrow as well as her human friend...." One of the drow spoke as she fitted another arrow onto her bow and took aim. She released it and found her efforts for another try thwarted by the mages magic. She growled but felt a hand touch her shoulder. She looked up behind her to Ezekiel. She blushed slightly at him.
"Don't let your anger get the best of you, he cant hit everyone of our arrows." He said as he looked to the other archers. Danika followed his gaze and then looked back to their targets and saw that they had some difficult targets to hit. However, they did nail one target though, and it just happened to be one of the stinking elves. "Nice shot Ariel, you killed one of the elves anyways,... let's see if we can hit the others and Cassandra the traitor." She said with a bit of glee. Ezekiel smiled at her enjoyment as he watched the group run for their lives. That mage was good though but he did not care. The message they sent was clear,... 'That they were prey to a much more prestine and superior race of beings known as the drow.
"The only advantage they have and the only help they have are Cassandra and our Surface cousins. Their low light sensitivity gives them the advantage he. We must kill them all first and then we can play with the rest,... perhaps save the pink haired one. Me and Danika would love to play with that one ourselves."
