Against the Night OOC

[Xavier Akafur]

An argument could certainly be made that Xavier is just in it for himself, as well.

[tangletail]

Leo's more of a loyal Government agent. If the item is not that dangerous, but is useful he might be willing to just nab it and bring it to his mistress.

If it's too dangerous, he'll be thinking of preservation, and will rather it's destruction or general inexistence.

[Xavier Akafur]

Sorry for the delay, my great uncle passed on Thursday so I had to take some time off work, which as some of you may know is when I do a vast majority of my writing. I rarely get much free time when I'm at home. I'll have a post up in the next day or two.

[tangletail]

Well... looks like we got a group of badasses who can elude the shadow dancer's eyes. @_@; Least they can't sneak attack him! Uncanny dodge for the win!

[Cyril]

Fight or flight?
!!!!
What is plot advancement

[tangletail]

Mmmm... lets see... Leo has orders unfortunately. I suppose he'll try to make it look like they are leaving, and then go back in "Professional Thief mode"

[Xavier Akafur]

That's entirely up to you guys. The plot will proceed regardless, just in different ways

[Cyril]

Like.. My character's character says to charge directly into the woods but also to drag his homies?
But he also doesn't really back off easy, so I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what I'm going to do here. Hence why I'm taking so long.
I also want to get back to an environment where we can involve all of the active roleplayers, instead of just Xavier, tangle, and I.

[tangletail]

So... we could have our characters strategically back off for now, and bring the army .

[Drakeyboy]

Well if it's against character then how would he?

[Xavier Akafur]

Neshar is there, and he's far less intoxicated and seemingly less confrontational. He could drag them back  if that's where you want to go with it. Also at this point its fairly late in the night and nobody has rested after a fairly epic battle earlier in the day. Camille may realize he's too exhausted to fight a group of random strangers in the dark.

Or you could always go Ham. I am a firm believer in ham. xD

[Drakeyboy]

Leeeeeeroy!

[tangletail]

So... Neshar's predicament

1.) Mission is technically to investigate. Not explicitly retrieve. Secondary orders are to decide what to do once the investigation phase is complete. Three mercenaries, two confirmed with some magic that can ellude the feline's enhanced vision, and natural hearing ability have just shown up in front of him telling him to go home. Obviously they have some interest in what's in the area, and letting them do as they please is a failure. Though... high risk to take a shotgun approach. And after seeing their abilities, chance of failure if he tails them silently. Now even though Neshar is incredibly dangerous in the dark, with the Shadow Dancer abilities enhancing him, he's unsure of the other's skill level... and they're already intimidating by apperance. But... the mage beside him shown he was still capable... even while tripping over himself.


2.) His innate odd sense of loyalty for a thief want's him to get the drunken mage out of there. Mostly out of worry. This will likely get him executed... or worse... scolded by his mistress for letting this becoming the reason of a mission failure.


Though... Neshar does have his own bag of tricks . Plus he didn't go nuts in the fight, if the group were watching him... then he can still catch them by surprise. I'm thinking... it's time to go ham.


What do you say to going ham?


Side note, yes he views scolding as worse than death . He kinda views the general as a mother.

[Xavier Akafur]

Whatever you guys decide to do! That's the whole fun of RP. ^^

Also, check out the looking for more thread and tell me if you guys think any of those characters would be a good fit with the group.

[Drakeyboy]

So i took a looked and to be truthfully honest none of them really fit the group per se. Celestial isn't RPing currently so you don't have to worry about him. But as for everyone else these are my reasons.

Calaiuryon: we already have two stealth characters. Myself with my illusion magic and our shadow dancer. And she doesn't have really anything else besides the potion making which could be useful.

Willow: she is apparently a flat potion healer. Because of all our mages that is kinda unnecessary. Her backstory is also interesting but it doesn't seem like she would go on a adventure because of it. Unless she makes other potions besides healing i'm going to say no.

Dustin: he is the closest one that i would say yes. Good drive for a adventure good backstory for a interesting character but he's a marksman. We already are pretty much all range. All he is is range.

We need some run of the mill knights more than anything really.
