[Nexus] OoC II: Where Sanity Comes to Die.

Life's temporary Susan. Heck, he only had 8 years to live originally anyways. And that was over a year ago!

"Oh, then I'll tell you ma'am. I don't intend to stay ma'am. This place neither needs nor can afford a butler ma'am. I'm thinking I'll be working at the Watchtower now ma'am."

That seems like an awfully grown up sentence to come out of Butler's mouth.

[Reinholdt]

Well he can't be stupid ALL the time.
Sometimes you find a good piece of chocolate in that box.

[Ashen Lilies]

This is relevant to the current conversation topic.
...
Well, kinda.

[happyturtle]

Kris, that is made of so much win. And it even fits with the current week's theme!

[Moff Chumley]

That... is a thing of beauty.

[Morty]

And don't kill Toby! He's like Reinholdt's only active, free friend.

There's also Anatolij, because Reinholdt saved his life and he doesn't know about the rest of his deeds. Dunno if he can be called "active", though.

[Kaelaroth]

Back. Perhaps not for long. Real life has reared its ugly head, and thus Kael's going to be as flickery as his ghostly harbingers for a little while, I'm afraid. Come Monday, I'm going to be gone for another stretch of time.

Meanwhile.
Due to this, the magic(k) enhancement effects caused by the collapse of various dimensional barriers has ceased, as Kaela pulls in huge amounts of ambient magic(k), as he hits the Nexus...
... which might well be noticeable.

I need to recruit a few people for a potential plot. So... Who likes Drow? And I'm not talking Drizzt clones here, I'm talking dark and mean and irredeemably evil. Drow with a thirst for blood and a lust for power, all for the glory of their twisted spider queen.

I'm going to need a few people to take up some Drow PCs, possibly lead a few small squads of foot soldiers. It's going to be an invasion plot that isn't all that invasive. Yes I said invasion plot, please don't flee from me in fear and aversion. I'm not going to have legions of soldiers flooding the streets, no siege outside the city walls, in fact, if it's played right, the government won't even know they're there. I've already cleared this with DC, too, so we're good that way.

So, if you're looking to add a little unbridled evil to your life, say something here. I'll put up some more specific background details up later. If you're interested but don't know much about Drow, talk to me, I can send you some links or give some advice one-on-one. Thanks everyone!

[The Bushranger]

Oooh, sounds nifty...

Any room for half-drow double agents?
No? Hmmm...
*ponders*

[ApeofLight]

Oooh, oooh! Pick me! Pick me! And some links for the drow would be good.

[Reinholdt]

Oooh, sounds nifty...

Any room for half-drow double agents?
No? Hmmm...
*ponders*

Half-drow roles have already been filled.

[billtodamax]

Sure, I'd be happy to. I'd probably need information about culture and stuff.

[VampireRot]

I'd gladly handle a drow character for that awesomeness! Count me in as well.

[Ashen Lilies]

I'm interested. Sign me up for the nightshift. Or is that dayshift? Whatever.
I'm somewhat familiar with Drow, though some links would be nice.

[happyturtle]

Bah. They're still stinky old elves, just with a coat of evil.

[VampireRot]

Nu-uh. My Drow won't be stinky, cuz he uses old-spice.

DARN YOU AND YOUR IRRESISTIBLE REFERENCES KID KRIS!!!

[Moff Chumley]

Eww. Drow.

[The Bushranger]

Bah. They're still stinky old elves, just with a coat of evil.

Don't let BR(-the-character) hear that, since his first love was a Drow.


@^ And you, too!

[Ashen Lilies]

Oh yeah.

[billtodamax]

*hands KK some pants and a shirt*

Here you go. Sorry about the clown-print shirt.

[VampireRot]

Heh. Now... Do we have to name our own drow? Cause I'm bad when thinking up names (Vampire Rot. Seriously?), and the exotic double consonants confuzzle me.

[Artemis97]

Well... that didn't take long. Anyways, Links!

This one has a lot of good general stuff on how drow live and think and work, lots of specific information there. and This one is the Drow page from the Forgotten Realms Wiki if you want some lighter reading. This is the city everyone's going to be from.

You'll all be Agents of House Xabaresh Chaeron (usually shortend to Xar'Cha), which I've stuck as the 8th most powerful noble family in the city. You worship Lolth (ot Lloth, pick a spelling you like). The Matron is Danube Xar'Cha, she's y'all's boss. Sorceress and priestess, she's a powerful one.

You can play just about anything, really, although assassins and fighters and rogues would be common. Clerics (priestesses) are female only, and wizards are generally male. Also, Women are in charge here. Yay matriarchal society.


And for names, that first link, under lanugages, has a whole chart full. Roll randomly, or pick and choose the pieces.

[The Bushranger]

If you have Drow of the Underdark it has a drow naming guide...
*has Drow characters named Amist, Rhyan, Baraol Alism, and Beldra (only the latter being a full drow, though (and the mother of the other three))*

*is also ninja'd by Art*

[UncleWolf]

Bah! Durned elves.

Why, back in my day, we had real elves. From legend. The Fae. Sooner kill ya than lookit you. Mean buggers, made these durned Drew thingys look like pansies!

/teasing

[ApeofLight]

Hooray! Fun times ahead for all! Most likely...

[Moff Chumley]

When men were men, women were women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

[Artemis97]

Mmkay, you all think about that for a bit, I'm going to get some sleep now.

[VampireRot]

Using the name generator, I'm naming my Drow Merrak. Which apparently means Doomed Storm. And it's a boy. Yay.

Now I need to make a picture and think of some stuff for him.

"All glory for the Spider Queen!"

[Moff Chumley]

What, like this guy?

[VampireRot]

What, like this guy?

No! Who the *IRK* is this *IRK*ing guy Malik Marik?! My *IRK*ing name is *IRK*ing MERRAK! The *IRK*ing names sound nothing like each *IRK*ing other!

...
