If things get real bad and you have to resort to cannibalism remember: Vegans first, they are the closest thing to grass fed.

Keep moving forward ۩
⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

Requesting to have this post deleted from topic - roleplayerguild.com/posts/4311477

Thankies for your time.
@mnkee I will be doing a post delete request for your last post from the mods. (Thalkens post is wrong. Roll indicated that his sister was in the ballroom on the same floor as Thalken, just under where the soulless appeared. You have her on the second, which would have meant him going through multiple rooms and up stairs directly passed Mary and Virginia to get there.)

Once a mod deletes, you can repost Fyror and Millicent. Thalkens will need a correction before reposting.
@FantasyChic @ONL @Nallore @Pundii @Morose @Sigil

Counters are reset, just because they are though don't ride them. (I really have no patience for it anymore.) - what is there in the newest IC post is what you have to go off of. (Make sure to react accordingly, don't skip over reactions - it will affect your rolls from here on out.) - Sigil, I will pm you the details of the file the clerk dropped off.




The night was long and stifling in Cairo that evening. The hours ticking away like sands through the hourglass, drifting down lightly as if something was forcing their decent to slow to a crawl. crawling through the sands, suffocating but one could not wake enough to do anything to keep them from continuing. To stop the dreams, the nightmares, the visions that enveloped their minds. It was all too much and yet one could not writhe themselves free from the chains that bound them to their restless slumber. some might find solace in what they had dreamt, others would only find despair. All would find more questions than any answers that were provided. should they scream, it would not be heard. sound did not travel from the Sandman to the waking world.

Vera, Harry, & Aziza: The sun had set and the moon had risen. The colors of the night one would normally think of where not there. There was no cool blues, no crisp whites, no blacks of nothingness. the light of this moon that hung over the vast desert was shades of yellow, of greens, and grays. It was warm, not cold. It held a humidity that threatened to choke but you breathed as your toes rested in the sands. There is silence but you are not alone. Looking to your left and to your right you see two others, you see each other. The three of you forming the corners of a triangle, in the center above you is the forth point, the moon there like a sparkling canary diamond. From the light of the moon a shadow comes, in gray and yellow and green. Slowly it moves, swift on feet that seem to hit in the air on a solid surface. Sprinting towards you. Four legs but a formless figure at first. It isn't until the sands shift and the light fades from blinding can you make out what it is. A cat sits there peering into your eyes. It doesn't matter which one you are, it is facing you some how and away from the others. Its green and yellow eyes piercing you. You are afraid and yet you feel as if you are home.

Haakon, Josephine, & Nora: There you stand in the waters of the Nile. A woman on each bank, a man in the center. It is you. You three. The rivers water is hot, sticky as the air. The sun is shining down, heating everything around you to a boil. It is stifling and painful, like your brands. Your clothing, no matter if it is just standing on the bank with your feet in the water and your toes in the silt or if you are waist deep, it is becoming soaked. The moisture creeping its way up the fabric, staining it in crimson. Dipping your hands in it, it pooling in your cupped hands, it runs red. Blood fills your hand and you try to move but you are held there. An unknown force keeping you from moving as the level of the Nile rises. Up the banks it crawls. To your knees or chest. To your chest or throat. Slowly it climbs. You fight but cannot move. Slowly, tormentingly so, it comes to your mouth, over it, to your nose. You can smell and taste the blood. See it as it coats your eyes until you are beneath the sticky hot burning liquid that bubbles around you like a demons cauldron. You scream, there are no words. It fills your lungs, you try to breath, you try not to breath. Until you are nearly suffocated, until you can hold it no longer. Then your eyes snap open and you are beneath the river of blood, you are breathing the crimson. You see each other. Between you, three sides of the pyramid, a seal is broken.

Reginald, Peter, Lauren, & William: In a valley of grass you four stand. Three around a risen dune, one at the top. The single female the pinnacle. The sun is high above you and you can hear the drums of war. Cries of death. The sound of flesh being pierced by metal and more. Turn and look. To one side men with the heads of lions fight scorpion like mutations. War, death. It surrounds you. You can do nothing, you cannot move but watch the slaughter or each side. Gods fighting Gods? Is that what you see? Two of the creatures, one Lion, one Scorpion, stand twice the height of the others. Facing off against the other. Sitting on a throne of reeds is another with the head of a Jackal, just watching. A cat curled up in his lap and a scale with a single feather on one side. He looks at you, all of you at once and one at a time it seems. You feel your heart pain, agonizing. Blood stains your chest. You see your own beating heart before you. It is hovering there, moving towards the scales. Will your heart weigh more than the feather?

You all wake.




October 4th, 1924 - 6:42 A.M. Local Time



The city streets have come alive as the sun rises. The air has yet to be warmed by the rising sun and it is comfortable. The winds sweep around the city as people rise and start their day. Some have yet to sleep from the night before. A Clerk finishes up his paper work and slips it into an envelope before rising from his place. He walks across the barracks to C.O.'s room and slides the envelope under the door before going to his own room to finally sleep just a few doors down. It has been a long night for him.

In one room a woman rises and she looks around frantically, what a dream has she had? Shaking her head to brush the cobwebs and the hangover away she reaches for the aspirin and takes several with a class of lukewarm water. Why had she dreamed what she had? Why did she see those two in her dream? Splashing her face with water she patted her face with a piece of linen. So many more questions. She needed to get to the museum, she needed to look at her books. Ringing the bell, she summoned the Steward.

In another room where the other guests are being given quarters doors down another rises. The woman pushes back her classic length hair and rushes to the window, throwing open the shutters to look at the sky. The sun was just breaking the horizon. That was a dream was it not? She was not sure. It frightened her but then again she found an odd comfort in it. Her fingers running over her pendant she thought of the man and woman she had seen in her dream. Why were they there? Perhaps it was time to leave, but how far did one have to run to escape their nightmares? Walking to the door she opened it to see the posted guard. Should she leave the room yet? If she did he would escort her. Shaking her head she told him she would wait for someone else from her group before she would head out for food. was she even hungry?

Near the room of the Lord Major, a man rose in his own room. He felt as if he had just relived a war he never wanted to be part of. his leg twinged with the usual morning pain but he grabbed his cane either way and quickly cleaned and readied himself for the day before pushing out of his room. Glancing around and listening, there were no sounds of war. Small prayers were answered for now. Turning, he walked slowly towards the room of his uncle. The clerk had long since gone and therefor he did not see him anywhere. By this time the man was sleeping, perhaps more peacefully than many others that evening before. A sound knock on the door came rapping through it. "Uncle? Are you awake? We need to speak," he called out through the door before resting his hand down on top of the other which leaned on his cane.
@Dragoknighte Ick, yeah, go ahead and edit to fix that.


World Narrative

Season: Late Fall/Early Winter
Time Of Day: Early Morning
Weather: While the previous weeks had been unseasonably warm overnight a chill set into the air that felt like true winter and as the sun finally began to rise there was a haze over the town and grey clouds in the air. A dusting of snow had fallen over the ground and the rooms were colder than they had been when everyone turned in.
General Ambiance: Things in the village are morose and dark, people seem to be in a daze, unsure of what to think or how to act. Nights usually meant attacks but the evening had provided none. Was this a good sign or a bad one? No one knew.
Location: Hamlet of Salarn in the region of Gorlf just south of the Orc Settlement of Yzewz



And So Another Day Begins

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The night had been uneventful, Lady Luck seemed to be smiling on the town. There were no attacks and other than the weather turning cold over night nothing else of interest had seemed to happen. There were no attacks, and no one came up missing. some people had decided to leave town in the night but perhaps they left too soon? Or maybe they left just in time and this was the calm before the storm? No one knew and because of this the people that remained in town seemed to be in a depressive mood and on edge. Was it too good to be true? They didn't dare to get their hopes up. Fear gripping many of them.

Supplies were running low in the town, they had been a while but now caravans carrying supplies were refusing to come close to the town. Stopping miles south, what could get in was having to be transported by hand and on horseback by militia that could be spared to make trip after trip after trip. Which to say, there was not many and it was causing a near standstill in trade. The constable feared if this kept up much longer things would get dire. Trading north was out of the question right then, even with word from the group that had come to town that the Orcs were not behind it, people would not risk setting out that way. East and West, there was nothing.

In the tavern, Femnal sat at the bar, going over papers, speaking with his staff and trying to prepare for the day. It seemed over night everyone had left besides a few. So the place was empty as a ghost town that morning besides the staff and a few patrons. Most of which came in for a breakfast meal before heading out again. No one stayed. Except a white haired woman and her Dire wolf. Kyra sat at a table in the main common room towards the back corner away from every thing else. Her back to the wall with Ash curled up at her feet; ensuring she would see anyone that came into the room. It looked like she had gotten little rest the night before and her boots were caked with mud.

"Can I get you anything?" one of the servant wenches asked Kyra as she poured over a scroll. Looking at the woman she shook her head and went back to reading whatever was on the paper and making the occasional note. The woman shrugged and wandered back off, not exactly knowing what to do right then. There was no one else to tend to.
@Morose Hrm, guess this would fall under one of those no spoilers things. Don't want to do the whole characters tailored to positions thing like when we started, why I removed "opening" in positions when I updated the original OOC.
@ONL Yeah that color is a lot better - I tried it on my computer and my kindle both on full brightness and it was a pain in the butt to read before. This one will work.

K looks good - just need his rank when he was in the Army during the war. (With having an Army man in control of Newnan, if/when he gets there it will be a question in all likely hood, so need to address that now.)

In Mahz's Dev Journal 9 yrs ago Forum: News
Suggestion - Instead of the bell at the top of the page being for total notifications let it be for tags/quotes/upvotes only. We get a notification for Pm's and we get one for subs, no need to have the total be the bell plus the rest. I dunno, just something about having it be a total plus things not covered under Pm's and Subs seems a little disorganized.

So say, we have 3 Pm's, 4 Subscribed topics posted in, and 1 tag - instead of the bell reading 8 total, it would just read 1. If that makes sense.
@FantasyChic @ONL @Nallore @Pundii @Morose @Sigil

Okies, now that everyone has posted I will get to work on the time jump. It might not come until Monday or Tuesday - Have Memorial Day here and have plans with the family. (Don't worry, will do a counter reset when I do the time jump to morning.)
