Hyrule's Civil War (Zelda RP)

Hyrule Castle

Secret Passage - B1

With a loud, rusty screech the door moved as Lesina's blade cut through the darkness. On the other side, the Knight found signs of the guard's last stand. A total of three bodies were scattered across the walkway, each wearing armor identical to the last dead man. The way the guards had died made it plain that they were fighting the guard with the map. If not for the fresh corpses, the rain water would have washed away all traces of the battle.

Aside from the corpses, the passage went three different directions. If someone checked the map that The Drifter had recovered, it would show that the path going straight would lead directly to the castle. The other two paths seemed to connect to different secret entrances and exits. Strangely, the stone pathway leading to the castle ended after a few yards. To go forward, everyone would have to brave the waist-high waters.

It was cold and wet, even in the tunnel. The heroes couldn't help shake the feeling that they were being watched. As water drained into the passage from the streets above, it sounded as though footsteps were wadding through the waters in every direction. In the darkness, Lesina's blade continued to shine with fire.

Telma's Bar

Telma sat in silence while she processed Nadijah's words. The king was a tested warrior and commander. Would such a simple plan even work? This could be the only chance to catch him in the streets, but would the two Gerudo be able to best him and his bodyguards? Would this even be something the Queen and Impa would approve, or were they starting more trouble? Telma rubbed the side of her head at the foolishness she was considering.

"Have you cleared the Training Ground back home, sister" Telma said after a long silence. "I'm a good shot with my crossbow. If you can engage Rolo while the crowd distracts his men, then just maybe this will work, but we'll need to move quick."

Standing up, Telma moved to a cabinet and produced a black cloak and quiver. "The King will come through the South Gate. He'll have to pass the slums to reach the castle. Find a spot to ambush the King while I get the riot started. We'll meet back here in half an hour."

No worries man, glad to have you back.

Would you prefer I find a way to get Nadijah in with the others by now, or did you have another plan for her and Telma you actually wanted to see through? I'm game with whichever.

@Vertigo

I think Telma and Nadijah will try to kill the king. It'll be a good way to introduce Rolo as a character.

@Product

Real life has a way of sneaking up on you.

Well, I'm not against the secret passage being straightforward. (wouldn't be a smart idea to turn a hidden escape into a maze. people getting lost in an escape sounds like an invitation for disaster.)

I kinda want to know what killed the Guardsman though.

@ArmorPlated

I'll tie up that loose end. Hope everyone is ready >:)

Are we just slowing down or did this fade away?

@Zeroth

@Zeroth

We're waiting on Product to move the plot forward, or Dead to respond with Zwei.

Not sure what's going on, but I'm still here.

Edit: Something must have come up for Product, he's been off for three days, but things happen. Same with Deadmeat, actually.

@ArmorPlated

Sorry for my delay. I had an unexpected trip to make. I had planned for the secret passage to act as the first dungeon, but at this point I'd like to move the plot to a more exciting locations. Is anybody against the map leading everyone through the sewers in one post, and then arriving in the castle? I'll have a post up after work tonight if nobody objects.

Hyrule's Civil War (Zelda RP)

I'll have a post up tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

The Trees Listen. (Stranded in a strange world of dreams, dark forests and magic, will you escape alive?)

I think a Lich is a pretty powerful being to start out as. Would you be interested in starting as young Mage then proceeding to lichdom?

@deadpixel101

That sounds very reasonable. Just to clarify, you mean a young mage that is still living?

The Golden Brew

Are you still looking for participants?

The Trees Listen. (Stranded in a strange world of dreams, dark forests and magic, will you escape alive?)

I'm interested in this! Would a Lich/Undead character be acceptable? (It's not make or break for me. Just have a lich I've been itching to use)

Wait, okay, so let me just make this clear, but--- The Gerudo Valley, in this case, doesn't equal the place where all the Gerudo live, where all their houses and fortresses are and so on... right? But just the valley that leads from the Gerudo territory to Hylia? So taking over that would essentially cut off their free access to the lands beyond.

Because when I saw Gerudo Valley, I thought of Ocarina of Time (I haven't finished BoTW yet, sadly) and assumed you meant the main place where the Gerudo live and went "wait what".

@Vertigo

Correct! In this RP the valley is the same as in OoT-with the canyon dividing the two people and a bridge to cross. During the war the Hylians gained control of the Gerudo side. The Gerudo live within the desert, and Gerudo Fortress guards the entrance to the desert (same as in OoT). The Gerudo still control Gerudo Fortress.

Hyrule's Civil War (Zelda RP)

Was just about to post (sorry for the delay on my part too), but just saw the first part of Telma's post again and realized--- if Zelda is returning the Valley to the Gerudo, does that mean they lost it in the war? If so, I must've missed that part, I thought the peace they achieved meant both sides retained their own territory. Or did I just misunderstand? That's... entirely possible, it's getting late and being sick doesn't help my concentration...

Just checking, because it affects my post quite a bit!

Also, that sounds like a good idea re: moving on and letting the others jump back in when ready.

@Vertigo

I never went into detail on how the war was ended. I mentioned that Hyrule gained the upperhand before both sides agreed to peace. Rolo securing the valley was the upperhand.

Hyrule's Civil War (Zelda RP)

Well that's unfortunate, I was looking forward to seeing Nox play Turok.

I'll get Roa's next post ready, but she's the most recent well-post, so I'd like to avoid being the next to post.

@ArmorPlated

I’ll puppet Turok and any other characters if it’s necessary. They’re more than welcome to jump back in at any point. I just don’t want the RP to get hung up much longer.
