World of Telduria [Reboot]

Finally got a good idea. I'll try to get up my application tomorrow :)

World of Telduria [Reboot]

Hello!

A fellow roleplayer and I are considering joining this -- or basically we've already made our dicision and are working out things.

So I'd like to ask politely how the term 'Monster With ability to transform' is to be interpreted. Am I correct with the assumption that the transformation has to be from/to an ordinary human form in order to distinguish them from the non-player monsters ? And what other restrictions are there with regard to the monster-part that aren't already covered by the other rules of this RP and common roleplayer's sense, if any ?

The Five Senses

Týfurkh

Týfurkh could see trouble crawling up upon them. The term was only metaphorical though -- in reality those hostile individuals came at them much faster and much easier than he had hoped for. Their enemies, whoever they truly were, must have been watching them all the time. Frankly he hated to jump to into action that fast, usually he preferred to shout at hostiles first in order to give them -- and himself -- the chance to save lifes and health mutually. The expression on the faces of those individuals however made Týfurkh think otherwise. If he wouldn't act quickly it probably would be him ending up disabled or dead.

The rooftile was shattered by the impact of the steel-shod crossbow as Týfurkh slammed its front onto the ground below. Reloading with one's foot was the most efficient way to do it, so the next bolt was ready well before any of the Clan's members could reach his position. It didn't look as if everyone of them actually had this intention though: In fact, one of them was... flying... well past him. For a moment Týfurkh couldn't resist the temptation to aim for Syella, but soon realized it would be a shot too quick and too far away. By the time he returned his view towards the others, they had fanned out. Two were left approaching him, male and female. Which one to pick first ?

With no better knowledge available, he targeted the woman. She had happened to be closer to his current aim than her partner. A brief, but intense hissing sound, then the latter lost the former out of view. She tumbled, something sticking out of her back that definitely should not be there normally. Her mind had probably shut down already by the time she collapsed, falling into small but growing patches of her own blood. The male didn't look behind, but he must have seen the bolt leaving Týfurkh's weapon.

His face turned from enthusiasm for battle to fury. As Týfurkh tried to reload in time for another shot, the cult member made movements with his hands as if he wanted to throw something at him. His hands obviously were empty, but still something happened a few feet into the imaginary trajectory. The air started to become cloudy, to fill up with something that looked like dense steam or mist, but with another color that was virtually crying out loudly that it was ugly. Týfurkh only became aware of this moments later as he was busy, but by the time he finally did these traces were already very close to touchdown. They appeared to be comprised of nothing more but some kind of gas indeed as there was no noise, but the circular plumes that started to spread from their impact sites were quite impressive.

Týfurkh was engulfed by the wavefront and started coughing. To his eyes it felt like cutting onions -- just a lot worse. He tried to take aim now that the bolt was ready, but only saw a pair of nebulous double images. The clan member had drawn a dagger, but luckily Týfurkh's armor managed to stop it. The clan member probably barely weighed one third as much as he did, so the impact had left the man out of balance for the moment. Still there was the urgent need to get out of this... cloud... or whatever it was... immediately before he'd be hit at the right spot the next time.

Týfurkh took a large leap and subsequent run to escape the obnoxious gas cloud, but his eyes had broken out in tears and there was probably nothing that would stop his enemy from creating another plume of that stuff or something even a lot more poisonous. Given how much space each of these clouds consumed it wouldn't take long for him to run out of roof area to stay on. What kind of magic was this guy using ? Smelling ? Must have taken an antidote against his own creation!

However no further clouds were thrown at him. Unbeknownst to Týfurkh his enemy was far from finishing his training, an important fact that explained why he wasn't yet able to invoke much more deadly concoctions. Throwing more of the purple gas would only help drive this giant off the roof and out of his reach and aside from this the effect on his eyes would last for minutes: No more danger from that crossbow! But from Týfurkh's hands... As the clan member came in for his second attack, Týfurkh managed to grab him. He couldn't escape from that much strength and started panicking with his dagger. A few banging sounds later as the blade hit the armor again and again and there was a different noise. Soft and painful. Týfurkh bared his teeth as he was trying not to cry out loudly while continuing to choke his enemy, almost lifting him off the ground. He could feel his blood starting to seep out from underneath his armor that had been circumvented by the last hit. Was there a smirk on the clan member's face ? Hopefully not for long! But that wound would have to be dealt with better sooner than later...

Thanks for the summary. I will get a reply up within the next 24 hours.

I'm still around, just wasn't sure what to post next and have been occupied lately :/

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

I'm trying to imagine An-Hasst in that situation. Maybe like this ?

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

An-Hasst took a massive leap to the left flank of the group. At this point the more elven part of his blood probably became very obvious as he, in full spite of his colossal size, was very fast to be in the air and following a more or less unplanned trajectory right into the nearby bushes. Luckily for him armor of pretty much any kind had a massive tendency to prove helpful in the midst of thorns -- not like those would have been any protection against this kind of predator. The beast looked as if it would eat Argon alive happily, if necessary.

His melee weaponry would hardly be of any use here and in fact the Skayleigh doubted that anyone's truly would, unless one was extremely daredevil and halfway immune to massive tails flailing around. Aside from this he had dropped his halberd before the leap anyway in favor of maneuverability. As An-Hasst reached for his crossbow, he silently asked himself how the villagers and themselves had been able to miss that creature all the time. Suspicion that the Dorcha had something to do with it were not far away, didn't solve the problem however: They had been in their underground network, too. So the only theory involving the Dorcha that sounded halfway reasonable was also the most uncomforting one: That thing had been brought here very recently and on purpose.

The first bolt was launched with a hissing noise accompanying it. Believing that the beast might be able to backtrack the impact, the Skayleigh changed position immediately afterwards, but didn't leave the thickest he had maneuvered himself into. Maybe that wooden mess might actually be useful in terms of reducing one's visibility and hopefully his sideways attack would help confusing the enemy.

@POOHEAD189 I hope you feel better now ? :)

Gonna try and get something up within the next bunch of hours.

Gurr'Kha - The Dead World

@Gordoth Yeah sorry. I need to catch up on the current state of things first, then I'll try to make a decent post. I know I suck... :/

The Five Senses

So my boss has dictated a strict ban on any more overtime for me -- something that even my project manager will have to obey to with his plans. I have slight hopes that this might improve my responsiveness in the future... :/
