Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome aboard hun! biggrin You'll want to PM Kai Karasurei about joining, he'll talk you through everything. You can also PM me if you have additional questions, and I'll do my best to help. 3nodding

Likewise.. you can ask me where to jump in so I can throw wrenches in the carefully counter-plotted Kai storyline that was formerly mine until I decided I should let the place live instead of die a horrible DM-Absent death. So, [Kai, whatever you want him to do.. I want our greenie {No offense, but I sorta like calling you greenie when you have green on your avvie} to do exactly OPPOSITE of what you want him to unless, of course, you intend for him to destroy the whole plot and disrupt the space-time continuum sapect of our carefully balanced/counter-balanced world] let me be your master of destruction.

In short words [if you're smart, you skipped the aforementioned paragraph with the power of lessening IQ quality in all sentient beings, in which case, give yourself a +2 Int bonus and skip along your merry way, unless you continue reading this paragraph, at which point you were too far into this trap to escape because the +2 Int bonus comes AFTER the -5 Int penalty because it takes effect on the sentient beings phrase, so just go ahead and give yourself a nice -3 Int penalty and finish this damned annoying thing already] I'm just here to cause mass confusion and hysteria.

And chaos.

And havoc.

And throw confetti when needed.

Which is always when it's not needed. Like right now.

Just kidding.

And randomness.

But not spontaneousness or congruentness.

And sometimes excellentness.

So.. You poor folks made it this far... I have one last thing to say. And this will void everything and make you return to normal with no penalties and no bonuses. Except for the decrease in experience and the wasted precious time I stole.

At least I have chicken.

[PS- Tarma, please summarize.]

Summary:
(I am attempting to be impartial here ^__^)
Stedding Shain - The entire group has moved here to rest after having split up. Some went to the borderlands where they helped to defend the remanents of a decimated town against a wave of trollocs. They left shortly after helping to defeat the Shadow's forces and failing to expose a traitor. The others suffered the chaotic effects of the source on their way to tear (and after reading most of it, I'm still not entirely sure what happened in that thread...). Now they have come to a Stedding. Doberler has been put in charge of an Asha'man survival camp and is using Liana to build relations with the nearest town, Jazral is taking the time to teach Denath warder knowledge (namely how to hold a sword without cutting himsel j/ks razz ) and Selene is taking Mai'isha underwing after the two were accidentally bonded (Selene is very angry), Darz slept by himself in the cold, also recently affected by amnesia. Mexidia and Insainde have been picking up a lot of the camp chores, such as brushing horses and settling supplies in place as they make the camp more of a home while everyone else seems to have forgotten these simple nessecities as they become consumed by "larger" responsibilities and complicated relational politics, Nozrin has kept to himself for the most part and doing his part for the Black Tower now that he is part of it, and I am not all entirely sure I know what Nikoru is doing. Norn is the NPC who has claimed the tower has given him responsibility over Doberler and the survival camp, along with 8 other asha'man soldiers and dedicated, plus doberler and the newly indducted Nozrin, they have begun erecting structures. Seluth has disappeared on personal business. Nobody has seen him around. Likewise, Kurai has been absent since arriving at the stedding as has Aorn. Where they have gone, nobody is certain (this is all in game by the way). Coltaine spent a night in the camp, but upon daybreak, it was supposed that he had taken up his own place to sleep, possible to avoid the use of a tent and be alone under the stars or else he was on his way before anyone woke up.

Nanako's Village - having left the stedding, Markus a warder, Tarma an ex-general from he borderlands, Kai the young half-aiel martial artist and Nanako the wilder, have travelled to the small town where Nanako grew up. Nanako has come to find an answer to the many questions burning within her and perhaps find out once and for all where she truely belongs. Having witnessed the inter-relational behaviour of the group, Kai has attempted to adopt a more civil attitude when dealing with Nanako as a test to observe the change in social reactions and possibly find new ways of forming allies and vanquishing possible hostile intent. Markus and Tarma have there own reasons for wanting to come, but the intent of the journey is largely obscure to any one goal and focuses mainly on the moral support the small group can offer Nanako as she questions the situation fate has placed her in. A glad respite from the danger they usually get themselves in, Nanko's village has offered new danger to the hopeful group. Four whitecloaks met the group on their way to the village. Naturally suspicious of all travellers, the whitecloaks scrutinized the group before Guntram Goldlion intervened and let them be on their way. The whitecloaks could present trouble even without the dissent of the disillusioned Guntram and zeal of his companion forseeably leading to confrontation. With a Warder and a Wilder in their ranks, Kai, Nanako, Markus and Tarma must step carefully or end up in the middle of religious disagreement that may end in violence for both parties.

The town that Liana will go to is a good place to enter, since Liana and her openly asha'man companion will provide a god alternative to the common townfolk who would most likely kill anyone the deem dangerous, which includeds a male wilder.

Likewise, the whitecloaks may be on the look out to expose someone like that as a darkfriend and the group could offer the only means of escape.

Or the stedding is a big place, and offers respite for more than just this group of travellers. It is not unlike such a large group to be safe enough to allow others into their camp for an evening or a lifetime....


I hope this helps.....if anyone has any problems with it, feel free to provide supplements, apendicies or simply revoke any errors....

Kai. I'm sorry, but don't take this the wrong way. Did you even read the Stedding fully? Darz has become more dependent since losing his memory...again. While Latent was still in charge, he had to "cut" his character's power, and he figured the best way to do that was to also "lose" his memory again...and I think there's some kinda wilder-like restriction on his powers... You'd have to ask him on that'n'.

Umm sweatdrop What independent camp? I never saw him leave after...Kai made soup for the group. To my knowledge, he's still at the very same campfire Nanako was discussing going back to her village with the others involved in the whole, current set-up.

He's also not asking because...he feels he can't confused He's kinda odd.

Ah yes, I went back and checked (again) it seems I was mistaken. But he still spent the night cold and by himself. I shall change that ^__^
Of course, I belief it to be part of his character that he has not asked for help. Thats for him to say though, I dont play his character ^__-

In 1 out of every 2.45 posts someone is getting glomped. For a dollar a day you can help prevent these random acts of glomping...

*cackles* Poor Denath...he is so far in over his head and doesn't even know it! xp
