Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Spectators are always always always welcome. Always. Seriously. All you have to do is this: 1. Go to the room spidwebRP. 2. Don't interrupt the game. That's it. Originally Posted By: Khielik, human shaman The cities shun us.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Come on now, be nice. Both parties failed in roughly equal amounts.

And if you still haven't sent one to me, I highly recommend you do so.

Originally Posted By: Lerasti, historian The third of Chamulsep's lieutenants was a powerful wizard of a past age, who the Lord of Pain revived as an arch-lich. After Chamulsep's fall, the lich allegedly threw himself into the volcano Ounolokisha, stoking its fires for aeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I have to say, Eph, this Chamulsep fellow sounds rather dastardly. Just a word of support. I've been reading the logs since The Labyrinth, and I find it all interesting and hilarious. I regret that I don't actually have the time to be a participant, or even a spectator, but I truly appreciate these RPs being available on Spidweb. Keep up the good work!

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Well, I'm glad that even non-players are enjoying it. Since I'm still unemployed, it's good to know that I'm at least doing something useful with my time. Originally Posted By: Dintiradan Oh, hey, Sliros. Yay! Yup, was wondering when anyone would notice. The other Legends of Divinity personalities are welcome to lobby for appearances, for the record. Also, since the last couple of snippets have been more tied to The Blood Marsh, I think it's time to put up something more relevant to Selos. Originally Posted By: Airick, dwarven guardian Once upon a time, there was an elven boy who knew the future. He did not predict it, but he saw it like we would see the words in a book. Naturally, such a child would be cursed with an interesting life. The boy was almost immediately captured by bandits, and taken to the city of Sarden. In a city filled with miscreants, the boy fared surprisingly well, given how many were willing to kill to exploit his gift. It was here that he learned the extent of his power, as he kept himself alive simply by following the graceful arc of time. To him, there was not always one future. But luckily, there was always one where the boy survived. He was fifteen years old when he misread a future and lost his left eye to a confused adventurer, but the disfiguring scar only improved his skill. Less than a year after he lost his eye, he glimpsed a future more distant than ever before. A remote peak above the jungle, and a lonely quiet. Something dark moving at the edge, and then the vision faded. But he knew what awaited him. That night he fled Sarden, masterfully escaping the dungeon of his most recent captor, exactly as he knew he would. His journey through the wilderness was unremarkable, in that no trouble ever befell him. When he arrived at E’Tarn, he knew he had found peace at last. In time, word of his gifts spread, and he attracted a following. They guarded him, and in return, he shared what he could see. So came to be Khashen, the Oracle of Selos.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Methinks you have misunderstood the purpose of these little snippets. I'm not writing them to give spoilers. In fact, many of these contain information that the party members would definitely not know. For instance, Chamulsep's lieutenants? That all happened aeons ago. That's gonna take one heck of a History check. And besides, do any of them sound like they'd be appropriate encounters you? This stuff is for the players, learning about the kind of world this is. And it's also for me, solidifying the stuff that makes the world tick. Originally Posted By: Plaram, master pyromancer The mountain loomed before me as I left Brenn. In that moment, I glimpsed primordial power. Visions of fire, destructive and elegant, swam in my mind's eye. My path, long set, led onward to the heart of Tanalus.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Originally Posted By: Ephesos Legends say that one of Chamulsep's unholy vassals took up residence in the swamps of Risia.

Originally Posted By: Ephesos Risis's claim to fame is that the infamous necromancer Chamulsep installed one of his more powerful underlings in a complex at the center of the swamp. I figure if one of those guys set up the Temple, it might be to our advantage to know which one did, and thus plan accordingly. Besides, who says that the snippets can't be itty bitty spoilers?

Sss-Tkss can still join the party later in the action, we'll just have to work out a quick explanation for the absence (nothing too worrisome).
