Bio
BECAUSE I AM SWITCHING ACCOUNTS TO POKE, THIS ACCOUNT WILL NOW SERVE AS A MEMORIAL TO THE ONLY KING THAT MATTERS.
Ostarion, the Skeleton King "Bone is strongest where it's mended."
The victim of a longevity spell that backfired, the Skeleton King Ostarion has built an empire from the bones of his enemies. He lives only to extend his reach, for as long as he is perpetually building and adding to his domain he cannot die. The walls of his palace are formed of fired bone; the streets are paved with bones of every sort of creature and every enemy; and even the wood and other natural features of his land have been swept away and replaced with replicas formed of bone. From the Ivory Forest to Ostarion's towering Throne of Bone, nothing happens in the Empire of Bones without the full knowledge of its Skeleton King.

Forum: General Interest Checks
Interested, I also have two friends on RPGs that might also wish to join. I'll check right now.
Aedius awaited the arrival of the intruders for some time, but Wight would keep them busy for a time. As long as it existed, it would temporarily apply a green aura to all the swords it would wield, regardless of how mundane or how useless the blade was. It was this reassurance which made Aedius fall asleep upon his throne for a time.
He missed the first part of his confrontation, the gravity Mage had entered his throne room, and had already destroyed the near-useless skeleton which wanted to use a bone as a weapon. He only awoke to the sound of electricity, and opened his eyes to see that most of his minions were...dead...again. Save for the two greater skeletons which were channeled for a longer time, they still stood on the right and left sides of Aedius' throne. It was both the giant skeleton and skeleton beast. Aedius opened one eye to see two...no, three mages in front of him. And in turn, the three mages could see him; and were presumably surprised by his appearance: unexpectedly much younger than them, and shorter in stature. Two of these mages had been going around, essentially killing his minions which were created for defensive purposes. Despite this, Aedius did not show much anger. Yet. With only one eye open, he spoke.
"And so, the magically impaired finally make it here. Wondrous" He said with a condescending demeanour. He paused, hearing the female intruder shout at him to 'Fight like a man.' He gave the simplest answer he could formulate.
"No." He smirked. "Why should I have to fight, when others do it for me?" At that moment, he heard another voice. It was the lightning intruder. However, Aedius didn't reply, and pretended to not acknowledge him. He instead payed attention to the gravity mage, who had just forced the two main intruders to the ground with his magic.
Listening to the gravity mage's request, Aedius once again spoke "Stopping a noise? Useless and insignificant" Aedius clicked his fingers, and the giant skeleton planted the tip on it's greatsword into the crypt's floor.
"Necromancy demands power, and those fools in Valford should hear it, and fear it!" He laughed in a cruel way, the concerns of Valford meant little to him due to his arrogance, and the fact that there was nowhere else for him to go other than his current location, and Aedius did not plan on being thrown out.

Even so, what of his post? It still seems to be too influential - for me, anyway.
So we're going to make our own clans?
So it essentially went like this, since the crypt is linear:
[Crypt Entrace] - > [Room 1] -> [Room 2] -> [Room 3] -> [Room 4] -> [Room 5]
- Aedius is in room five, atop the 'throne'.
- Wes is in the room five.
- Sasha is in the room fourth.
- And Angelo is also in the room five. But the issue I'm having here is the fact that he's gotten into the fifth room by quite literally decimating everything; hitting everything that isn't Sasha, essentially leaving no room for anything interesting to happen, it shouldn't really be possible, especially in a single post.

Um, Jangel. Your most recent post IC seems to be pretty OP.
Your speed tripled and your power doubled, and you essentially destroyed everything, which I find to be absurd. I guess it's possible to justify the literal one-hitting of the regular skeletons in the crypt before they actually did anything, but to be able to kill around you (Including the Skeleton Beast/Giant Skeleton and a Wight, in which all three are meant to be quite more resilient than regular minions) without giving anything a chance to react seems to be pretty unfair.
Also, perhaps it's not important, but nobody on the opposing side has actually been injured, or even touched. It makes it a lot less interesting when a battle is one-sided like that, but then again, that may just be me.

In most circumstances, the Wight must be close to the target in order to battle, the lightning intruder had gone into melee range, which gave the Wight a target. Rather than approaching the gravity mage, the Wight turned it's attention to the lightning intruder which made the attempt to battle with it; unleashing a flurry of strikes, stabs and slices in a short space of time, only stopping when the lightning intruder moved away. The cursed aura on the Wight's sword seemed to burn at a higher intensity, implying that the Wight was going to prepare another onslaught.
Aedius on the other hand, was at work creating more minions for himself inside of his throne room. Waved his hand horizontally in front of him, and two more magical seals appeared on the ground. From these seals arose four more skeletons.
One on the left wore black hooded robes, and had a medium sized flame in it's hand, which served as a catalyst for casting fire spells, whilst the other one on the left was an archer, sporting a green cap with a red feather on it. Likely a reference to something. It had both a bow and quiver, the arrows within the quiver being sharp in a way.
The third was a berserker, wearing leather armor and holding a large greataxe which it seemed to wield without issues.
The final skeleton was mundane. It had no weapon. It looked around for something, and found a pile of useless bones. It went over to the pile, and picked up one of the bones. It would use that as a weapon. The archer held an arrow up high, and the fire mage skeleton set fire to the tip. It would use this on the intruder which it saw as the biggest threat.
Aedius felt ready for the impending arrival of the mages. His wide variety of fighting styles which his minions had would make it extremely difficult to leave unscathed.

Aedius had not expected anyone to make it to the fourth room, but he had ensured it was inhabited. It's contents included a single Wight. One of Aedius' most powerful forms of undead, technically just a skeleton, but fully clad in iron armour and wielding a mysterious green steel broadsword with an unusual cursed aura emanating off of it, and a simple yet effective buckler shield. Despite there being only one, Aedius prized his Wights, as they were much more resistant, skilled and powerful than regular skeletons. It would not simply fall in a few hits. However, their armour caused them to move much more slowly, until they actually reached their target, where people severely underestimate the swordplay of a Wight. It would likely manage to get a few hits in, as opposed to Aedius' other minions.
The gravity mage had reached the fourth room, and the Wight saw this. It didn't make a sound, it simply stared at the intruder, and began it's slow, yet considerably intimidating walk towards the target. The two skeletons he knocked backwards with gravity gave up on their pursuit, and turned their attention to the two mages still in the third room. They both targeted the ice intruder, and threw a few punches at the them.
While this happened, Aedius had finished the second part of his spell. The second magical seal had created a feral being. It was reminiscent to the giant skeleton Aedius had previously created, and yet, stood on all fours, and was seemingly energetic, and aggressive. This was not enough for Aedius, however. He considered creating more undead creatures to control, and likely would. But they would most likely be skeletons rather than more powerful undead. He also wanted to continue to taunt his intruders; using his staff once more, he spoke into it, and a deep, omnipresent voice echoed through the crypt.
"The worms fight back! How amusing. Yet, so inconveniencing."

In the third room of the crypt, there were undead in abundance, there were six skeletons. Most of them did not have weapons with them, and would simply try to pummel the mages with their hands, but two of the skeletons did in fact have weapons. They stood adjacent to each other, one was agile, dual wielding rapiers, the other was slightly slower than it's counterpart, but dual wielded spiked clubs. These two skeletons appeared to be much more co-ordinated that Aedius' other minions, and Aedius had dubbed them 'Twin Executioners of the crypt' although they hadn't actually had the opportunity to kill anything. They were preparing to attack the first intruder to enter the third room.
A gravity mage.
Their preparations were cut short, as the gravity mage had used his abilities to push all of the skeletons out of the way before running past them, and subsequently prevented them from pursuing him with some sort of gravity wall. The minions didn't mind, however; As the fourth room, the room he was running into could be considered much worse. Even so, three of the six skeletons still made the effort to push through the wall, but only two managed to succeed. They chased after the gravity mage as he went to the fourth room of the crypt.
The rest of the undead horde waited for the pair of mages who were on their way to the third room. The Twin Executioners also awaited the arrival of the pair of mages.

Kael had finished his pile of toast. Despite 'obtaining' a bottle of water, he hadn't even drank from it yet. 'Save it for later' he thought to himself. Although, Kael was curious of who it belonged to. Not curious enough to go out of his way asking, but still curious. It didn't really matter at this point though.
He turned his attention to his Pawniard. They had both finished their Pidgey meat, and were waiting for the order. Kael did previously have intentions on continuing the duo's fight in the dining hall, and he would act on it right now. He motioned for the two to face each other, and stand a few steps back. The Arced was on the right side, and hit the ground multiple times with it's bladed hands. The Warped was on the left side, and prepared to rush at his counterpart. They both awaited the order to begin. Kael could plainly see that they were both ready.
"Go." Kael said rather quietly, not wanting to interrupt the rest of the group's conversations.
No sooner than that, the Warped had made a crazed charge toward the Arced. The Arced himself had yet to move, and was likely waiting for the Warped to come to him. The Warped had reached the Arced, and did a frontal stab. Before it even made contact, the Arced used it's own blade to redirect the stab upward. He had just parried. The Warped hopped backwards, surprised that something such as that would happen in a duel. Kael smirked, also surprised at his Pokémon's strategy in such a short space of time. "Very good." He said.
