Rolling Boy vs. Jace (Chinoki vs. Saddaj)

With one arm out of action, Saddaj's main form of defense had been broken. He was losing blood - and his consciousness. If he didn't end this fight now... too slow. He had lost focus, and recieved another wound in his leg. Making an effort to concentrate, he lifted the sand he'd attacked the woman with earlier and, while turning to face his assailant, created something of a shield to block the knife attack. He expected it was risky, but he tried to plug his wounds with the remaining sand, to prevent further blood loss. He'd never heard of someone being hurt by sand in a wound, and he hoped there was a good reason for it.

The attack deterred and the blood loss stopped, Saddaj had bought himself a split second to sharpen his thoughts. Even now, it was only a matter of time before he would be defeated. Only careless agression, something completely uncharacteristic of Saddaj, would save him, and he knew it. So he used his split second the only way he could afford to - he ignored his pain, gripped his spear-stave in both hands and dropped the shield. He stepped forwards, raised the spear-stave high and brought it diagonally downwards towards the right side (Chinoki's right) of his enemy's neck. It was an all-or-nothing move that would, if perfectly executed, cut through her trachea, causing rapid asphyxiation. If not, he would be leaving himself wide open to her own, potentially fatal, attack.

Building Rules for a Universal Nation Roleplay Game

The RPG Houses of the Blooded (by John Wicke) had an interesting take on the typical NRP. As opposed to CTE's point, it is very heavily focused on the leader. The setting resembles a medieval feudal system, in which the general philosphy is that if you can't stop others from taking something from you, you never deserved to own it in the first place. Players are nobles - ranked as either barons/baronesses, counts/countesses, marquises or dukes/duchesses. Two games would be played at once - one of the nation, and one of the character. The characters would often be going to balls or hunts, or hosting their own. It is here that the real games would be played - with the law that a contract signed in blood was always binding (there was no punishment, technically. Someone who broke a Blood Contract would, due to the magic involved, immediately have the word "traitor" burned into their forehead), there was a lot of potential for alliances an betrayals, as well as Romance and Revenge (which are capitalised for cultural reasons which would take a while to explain, but it's worth pointing out that in their language, both words were spelt the same, with only a slightly different pronunciation).

I got a little off-topic there, but the idea is that a typical nrp and an entirely seperate, more individual rp would be occuring at the same time.

What if you were Epic-level?

I could get into a conversation about God supposedly being all-powerful and that therefore he is permitting those things and is therefore no better...

I probably shouldn't.

What if you were Epic-level?

I would tell God off for being a naughty boy. He knows he's not supposed to start wars or create horrible diseases.

Rolling Boy vs. Jace (Chinoki vs. Saddaj)

The woman had been hit - not badly, but Saddan would take it. However, she was now throwing a flurry of knives at him. Too many to be particularly accurate, yes, but enough that even without presicion they posed a threat. It was now that Saddaj was thankful for the enchantment placed upon his spear-stave. He could let loose a short-lived but powerful gust of wind. Typically he would use this to unbalance opponents before performing the coup de grâce that would finish them off. This time, though, he had a different use for it. He thrusted the spear-stave, in his left hand, forwards towards the knives. The wind blasted a few a short distance backwards, but most were not caught head-on by the gust due to their spread. These were instead knocked off-course, some being pushed downwards, to the left or right, and many were knocked upwards, flying over Saddaj's head.

The Twelve Labours: General Discussion

Found something on the internet which could make an interesting Labour. It's called the Kaliedoscope Challenge: it requires you to change characters each paragraph, and the same character cannot be used twice (for longer entries, no more than once per chapter). Obviously the any length rule may need to be changed for this kind of Labour to make it a challenge, but otherwise the entries would have to be pretty creative. Let me know what you think.

Compliment the avatar above!
