@ThinslayerWell... Funnily enough most of the are elves, only one of them is human and she's... Kind of aggressive... Ivan felt uneasy talking about members of his grop like that, but this is Noire he's talking to, you can't get anything past him.

Now this Zenovia... She's caught my fancy... She's very modest with her abilities, i mean, Sadron made her the mage of our group for a reason right? He didn't know what goes on in those council members heads, but they had their reasons. She seems shy though... So it'll probably take a bit to have a full chat with her.

@Darkmoon Angel

Noire nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, a girl who's modest and shy is absolutely a good catch. I would definitely go for her if I were you. I'll go with you if those snotty high elves will let me. Is Zenovia cute?"

The Faraway Land

Small post, wish it could be bigger but I'm not in the action right now, plus like i said i've been trying to get over from being sick

@Darkmoon Angel

It's okay. The posts don't have to be long. I can't always write short stories in every post, either. xD

The Faraway Land

@ThinslayerIs it always women with you? We didn't become knights to pick up girls. Then again, some of the group's women did appeal to him. Ivan just decided to drop character, he had the whole day to himself before heading out, might as well unwind.

Ok... I admit some of the women did catch my eye... Didn't get to talk with any of them unfortunately... But hopefully through this quest I will be able to. Ivan was unsure if any of the women in his group were even up to talking with him. Most of them were elves anyway... He would just have to wait and see.

@Darkmoon Angel

Noire slipped one arm around his friend and offered a wide grin. "It's always women with me because there's little else to live for as a knight. The money certainly isn't all that great. So, who's the lucky lady? What are the options?"

"...The warlock is my mission" Tiberius heard Kaite quietly say. It was a bitter statement, and Tiberius felt a pang of sadness wash over him. He looked at her, wondering what was going on in her mind but it looked like she would go with him, and for that Tiberius was thankful.

"Thank-you Kaite and don't worry, the warlock is everyone's mission. You are not alone." He paused to look at the town before him, wondering where the others might be before saying, "Let's go find us a killer."

They had barely started to walk before Gorman marched in his way. He knew that Kaite had offered him to accompany them, and if that was the case, they could probably use him to figure where the killer was. However, what Gorman said next completely caught Tiberius off guard.

"I apologize for assaulting you, Sir Tiberius. It was improper, insulting, and condescending. Forgive me."

Never before had he heard off an Orc apologizing to, well, anything. It was a very unique event, something that Tiberius was entirely unsure of.

"Gorman, I thank you for your words but it was entirely my fault. I deserved what you gave me as a reminder to keep a level head. There is no need to be forgiven, for you never did anything wrong but, thank you." Tiberius didn't want to come off as being rude but that was just how he felt given the previous situation. Gorman would have never needed to apologize if Tiberius had never accused him.

"Perhaps you would like to accompany us after all? I'm sure whatever we find will be difficult to kill, we could use your help." Tiberius said casually, trying to move the topic towards the killer that was still on the loose.

@Lord Zee

Gorman bowed his head to acknowledge Tiberius' words. "I understand. Now, regarding this rogue killer, I don't mind helping you find and catch it. What are our leads?"

Seeing as everyone else decided that capturing Vert was the best course of action, The Storyteller dissipated his lightning spell and put away his sword. With that done, The Storyteller then used both of his hands to cast magic rope at Vert. The rope snaked around Vert's body and bound her tightly.

@rush99999

The Storyteller attempts to capture Vert with a magic rope.
* If successful, the story can move on.
* If unsuccessful, Vert's continued survival cannot be guaranteed.

@rush99999 @Rekaigan

I realize we need to move the RP forward and get on with the larger quest at hand, and hopefully I'm not speaking out of turn here @Thinslayer, but be mindful when you are attacking another character or even NPC. You can't assume right away that your attacks or magic immediately affects them, as this is considered godmodding and doesn't give the opponent time to deflect or counter in any way.

So long as Thin is alright with it, we'll move forward and get this damn thing underway! :)

@XenoCyanide

Yup, godmodding is usually forbidden, and it's really bad form for the GM to do it either.

Definitely time to get the main quest underway.

The Faraway Land

@Darkmoon Angel
You okay? Haven't heard from you in a while.

The Faraway Land

@Thinslayer
I mean, how could I mess up 'Especially'? @_@;

And yeah, if I could, I'd bring the whole crew with to go visit the orcs! It'll be great...for Kaite...it'd be like an unruly family reunion where she plays big-sis to anyone who knows her. Again, Idk where to go from there (EDIT: And this isn't a story about Kaite, its about all of us. Including everyone in something as big as skipping team when [MULTIPLE HOMICIDES] happens is pretty much impossible. However, I understand Tex is kinda on their own)

Amazed Kaite's age hasn't come up, yet. xD
EDIT: And it makes me curious about other characters.

@Hawlin

We don't have to bring everyone to the orcs. In fact, I had a funny scene planned out to solve that problem. Gorman would say something like, "How about I pretend-kidnap you? Here, attack me. Hit me right here. It's gotta be authentic, so don't hold back- OW! Ooh, that's a good hit...Too good...Mmph, yep, that'll do the trick."

The Faraway Land

@Thinslayer
EDIT2: I haven't given up on Gorman and that arc, I'm just trying to think of a way to move things along while staying true to my character and respecting a distinct lack of metagaming. Its...pretty rough, expecially being distracted with preparations for hosting [OBLIGATORY YEAR-END HOLIDAY] at my place. The cleaning and pre-cooking...bleh.

Eru, I wish I could have written a better post.

@Hawlin

It's fine. Challenges and conflicts represent the greatest opportunities to develop one's characters.

The Faraway Land

@Thinslayer

At work, we actually had to recently sit through a 3-hour presentation on cultural diversity.
It was informative, but a little spooky how this just came up a day after the meeting. x_x

EDIT: Now I feel bad for not giving Gorman a chance. ._.
I'm guessing it was kinda his mission to recruit Kaite.

@Hawlin

Yeah, it was his primary objective. He's not yet ready to give up, though. He doesn't want to let his Captain down.

EDIT: Holidays can be rough on the free time, eh?
