Dwilight / Re: Join new realm - Terran, Asylon, Barca or D'Hara?
« on: August 21, 2011, 07:09:27 AM »The new realm in Golden Farrow will be led by Allison Kabrinski, which means it is quite likely to be an interesting place. She is a traitor, troublemaker, provocateur, religious fanatic and demagogue the likes of which I have rarely seen equaled anywhere else in Battlemaster. It will be a religious theocracy of Sanguis Astroism. It will be built out of the wrack and ruin of Caerwyn, and as a result should be surrounded by hostile territory during its early days, either pockets of Caerwynian resistance based in Itaulond or Via, or rogue regions (or both). Refugees from Caerwyn will probably make it their lives' work to destroy it, based either in the remnants of Caerwyn or possibly migrating to places like Asylon, Barca, and Aurvandil (the realms I would suspect of being most willing to take in a potentially dangerous group). Allison and Brance (of Astrum) will likely not get along forever either...
I REALLY doubt anyone will try and touch this new realm. Last I checked, most of Caerwyn is hell bent on destroying Itaulond. No one wants a war with Astrum.
Really? There must be tons to do. Caerwyn is not dead yet? :p
Yeah...it's pretty dead.
COME TO ASYLON! We are the only realm with a peace accord with the Zuma. AND sweet drunken/stoned RP's. So sweet.

Anticipating the wave Sih held her breath and swam out of the cave system, the map clenched in her teeth. She emerged from the darkness into a small inlet, down past the main docks. She knew she could not go back to the Winking Lizard anytime soon, so she traveled back to the city through a quiet back road.
She met up with a short blonde hair man, just around the gate from The Company stockade.
"I heard the tunnels collapsed, did you get it?" he asked.
"Yes, buts it didn't go as... smoothly ... as I's planned." she replied. "Dids yous bring everything?"
The man dragged out two bags of what appeared to be mining gear, ropes, lanterns, a tent and an small brown sack.
He handed the small sack to her and she slowly undid the yellow string keeping the bag closed.
She looked into the bag and smiled, then quickly did it back up.
"We makes for the mines in the morning. I's needs to rest a bits first."
The two walked to the outskirts of the city and set up camp.

"Well if you must...at least help me take in the body. We don't want to be interrupted." Sih said calmly.
The dust covered miners dragged the body behind the bar where Sih opened a hatch that was hidden behind a oak. They tossed the body down and Sih started to climb down the ladder.
"Well are you coming or not?" Sih looked up and asked.
The burly miners looked down the hatch, then at each other, shrugged and started to climb down.
Underneath the bar, built into the rock, was an intricate tunnel network. It appeared to connect all the shops on Broad Street, and maybe even more of the port city.
The men looked around at the dimly lit passage and started to climb back up the hatch.
"You didn't think we would just leave him here, did you?" Sih said and started to tug the body farther into the cave.
The men shrug and followed her deeper into the cave. About 5 minutes later the men stopped.
"Alright lets get to it already!" one man exclaimed.
"Okay, okay." Sih said as she started to lift her jacket.
Sih looked down at her arm, covered in markings. She began chanting an incantation, reading of her arm script that was in the shape of tidal waves.
"Mother water, bubbling earth. Wash their sins away, cleanse their dirt."

SM General Discussion / OOC: Prelude - Rise of the Merchant Princes
« on: August 17, 2011, 03:56:36 AM »
I need a couple of clarifications.
When you use magic in a RP, you must to stop the RP once the spell is cast?
Also, does two skills at basic and three spells equate to being able to cast two types of spells and three spells in total? Does this example make sense: Basic Skills of Fire and Water, able to start a camp fire, stop a river and walk on water?
But if we wish to harm someone with our actions, we must have the skill of harm to go along with fire or water?

General Talk / BM is destroying my chances of getting into law school...
« on: August 16, 2011, 08:39:07 PM »
So I write my LSAT (Law School Aptitude Test) in T-6 weeks and every time I go to study SOMEBODY has to write a new message, which I then must read, contemplate, devise a clever RP and check the Forum, play a round of War Islands and then consequently forget that I was supposed to be studying.
If I don't get into law school, I blame you all.

Thats hilarious. I didn't see your post about the Winking Lizard tavern until after I had posted. The name was to good to pass up.
I still don't really get the whole spell thing 100% yet, so I left out any magic. But other than, that did I break any rules?

The two brass doors of the Winking Lizard tavern were thrown open in the wind, causing the weathered eyes of the lizard mural t0 appear black and closed. The barmaid ran to the door and slammed it shut as passerby's glared at the disproportionately large lizard eyes that faced Broad Street.
Inside the dark tavern were no more that twenty chairs and five tables, which appeared to be arranged in no particular order. The bar floor was sloped significantly towards the entrance. The tavern was empty except for the pale-skinned red-headed barmaid, two men talking casually at the bar and one man who sat quietly in the back corner reading.
"If I had a stack of gold for every time I heard that someone saw Tomaas, that greedy old bastard, leave Soupat ... I would steal a Company ship, fill it with naive fools like you and sink it to the bottom of the sea." said the one man. "That man is going to die counting coin in the Stockade."
"HA! If you had that much gold YOU would be drunk for a good month and be the one at the bottom of the sea!" laughed the other.
"Can I gets you boys another?" the slender barmaid asked. Her voice was strong and firm, which seemed oddly overbearing for her small figure.
"Ah, we best head out. Another time love." one of the men replied as he picked up his brown bag and walked towards the door.
"Agreed," the other man said, as the lizards eyes closed again letting the afternoon sunlight into the bar. "Good'day to ya."
The two men left the bar, closing the brass doors behind them.
"What abouts yourself?" the barmaid asked the man in the corner, who seemed to be covered in soot of some kind.
If he heard her, he didn't react.
"Woulds yas like another?" she continued. "I mights need to put in a fresh keg, so this will be the last ones before the drinks get foamy."
He continued reading, not lifting his head to acknowledge the girl.
He was dressed in a tattered black coat, with a green tunic underneath. The barmaid walked closer to the man, until he noticed she was standing directly above him.
"Oh, is thats a map of the mine tunnels?" she asked. "Where dids you manage to find one of those?"
This time he looked up at her. Calmly stood. And stuck his hand out to give the barmaid his glass.
As she reached for it, he struck on the face with it and she doubled back in pain. He kicked the table aside and lunged at the barmaid. He grabbed her by the arm and raised his fist above his head.
"Where is Sih!" He shouted. "You said he would be here an hour ago! I nearly died getting this map! Where is your owner!"
The barmaid giggled as he squeezed her arm harder.
"Where is he!"
She smiled at the man. He looked as if he had sat in mud carts for over a week. The bagges under his eyes sagged nearly to his nose.
"SHE has been waiting a lot longer than an hour for you, silly." She laughed aloud.
The man was confused. However, his confusion didn't last long.
As he loosened his grip the barmaid's arm, she pulled a shard of glass from behind her back and slit his throat.
The man fell to his knees as the slope of the floor drained the blood towards the door.

Far East Island / FEI POWER RANKINGS
« on: August 15, 2011, 09:17:49 PM »
I've been readings a lot of football articles ranking Premier league teams lately. It got me thinking, what would a power ranking of the realms look like? If you have to combine CS, influence, size, recent battle won and lost...
In my opinion:
1. Arcaea
2. Arcachon
3. Principality of Zonasa
4. Kindara
5. Cathay
6. C'thonia
7. Greater Aenilia
8. Ohnar West
Feel free to give explanations as well.

« on: August 11, 2011, 04:14:21 PM »We have bigger fish to fry.
I hope you don't mean the Zuma.
I have noticed Glaumring seems to be grumbling more and more about the Zuma ambassador of late. I don't think Akella would like that very much. Asylon would need about 50 Itaulond seceding to them if they wanted to start that kinda war.

« on: August 10, 2011, 10:01:55 PM »Terran is an awesome realm. I have always pushed for better relations with Terran because of their awesomeness.

Dwilight / Re: Asylon Realm Thread
« on: July 21, 2011, 07:57:10 PM »Please only post here if you are from Asylon.
Here is the place where we can Out of characterly improve Asylon as a place for players to have fun. Try and keep it Out of Character and not to talk about IC matters. Here is a list of questions that you might want to answer:
Are you provided with a suitable income to recruit a decent unit and maintain them?
Do you feel the atmosphere is appropriately SMA?
Is the ruler trying to make an effort to try and provide interest in the realm?
What do you think is making you stay in Asylon?
Are you feeling ignored from the ruler and council members?
Is there good amounts excitement and action in Asylon?
Feel free to write a review or criticism about Asylon. Now I don't really want to determine what direction the realm should IG but instead try and find out how we can try and include everyone and help people to become more involved in the realm. I want you to try and contribute as much as you want to Asylon so that we can a realm that is interesting, fun and exciting for all players to partake in.
1. Yes!
2. Yes!
3. Yup!
4. First small realm in a while that actually seems to have some interesting characters and not trying to just simply conquer everything. *cough* Avenel *cough* Melodia *cough*
5. Nope!
6. Obviously more knights, but I think it would be cool to have a niche for our realm. I know we are all chummy with the Zuma so it might be cool if we used that to attract more knights.
