[Nexus] OoC XXXI

[Lady Serpentine]

Hello guys. I wasn't here yesterday, and I'm not likely to be here the day after tomorrow either. The reason for this are exams- I had one today and I have one Thursday, so I needed to actually see the morning because that's when the exams are. But I'm here today, so that's good, right?

Also, I did manage to transfer several documents to my new laptop yesterday, which means I have access to the most recent (and hence most accurate) description of Morbit.

If you're still on, is there any chance we could resurrect that scene in the Riverside Temple?

[Asha'man]

Phew.... finally created my avatar but I seem to have made him too tall to fit.



any advice from those that love making avatars, Kid Kris?

[Forever Curious]

So, I made one of those Forumspring things for Kaalia Verk should anyone want to throw some messages her way.

It looks not bad at all. I have two major recommendations. One, as you mentioned, it's way too tall. Take a look at some other oots avis and shorten the body and limbs to more closely match that. Two, thicken most all the lines a bit. Those two things should be a big step in improving it. *nodnod*

[Asha'man]

Yeah, I'll do that but I only get the energy to do stuff when I'm in class.

The reason why he is so tall is his character description. He is nearly 8 feet tall but i guess I have no choice on the matter.

Hey Harnel the dagger he is holding is from the hunting grounds. You have a better idea for it cause I just made a random dagger.

[Hattish Thing]

Hey Harnel? Could you please put up a post in Random Plots for the mine? Its been like six weeks now. I tried pming you but you didnt respond...Could you please post or is something wrong?

[Asha'man]

Pokes Eadin and/or C'nor to outside for Underworld plot.

[Eadin]

I'm still waiting for C'nor.

My current one is a love making avatar.

Crude comments aside, is there a map of Nexus-world? Elanna needs to embark on a quest to find out more about a mysterious bard which will involve a trip to a city and possibly exploring a wasteland/ruins.

Maybe Spreagadh can tag along as well.

[Ashen Lilies]

Sure. Here's one most of us use:

Hope that makes sense.

[Asha'man]

Thank you for that Kid Kris. Hey 'The Succubus' do you have space one or two more adventurers for your adventure?

[Slii Arhem]

Noodle, if you're talking about the Louv're Mine plot I would recommend putting that plot on hold for now. I haven't seen hide nor hair of Rot in the past few weeks, and to be honest I kind of lost steam with it over the course of things.

That said, this is just one man's opinion. If Rot shows up out of nowhere and everyone else wants to continue, I'd be fine with picking up where we left off.

Sometimes plots just fall by the wayside, it happens in a setting as big as the Nexus.

[Shadowcaller]

To anyone with a gnoll character or in control of gnolls in general:

Greg's Group

"I wish for gnolls to have wings and instinctively know how to use them. If there is a limited amount of gnolls you can effect, then start with the ones in the nearest gnoll community and centre the effect on there." If they have wings, Nephrim might be able to convert them to worship Pazuzu. Especially if they suddenly gain wings they were not expecting.

[Greg's Group]

"Your wish be done." The darkness responds as a subtle change goes through the air. Reality rewriting itself. "My purpose is now fulfilled I can finally escape this wretched place. As a thanks I will give you a warning. Get out while you still can. I intend to tear down these prison walls."

And unless it's somehow stopped the darkness will surge right into the nearest wall, leaving behind a strong smell of burned ashes in it's wake. The shadowy substance which the being seems to have been made up will suddenly start to spread through the walls.

Dust and water suddenly starts to pour out as the whole room starts to shake, like an earthquake which slowly seems to spread through the whole tomb.

Ilpholin and Becky will no doubt start to feel the tomb shaking as well soon enough.

If you wish your character to be effected by this wish, feel free, the details will be up to you. Nephrim didn't specify what kind of wings or if they would even be able to fly with them so they could be made of steel-feathers and be used as shields for all I know.

The demons power is limited, basically it slowly built up energy during it's imprisonment to be able to grant one wish. So it will most likely not effect all gnolls.

Just throwing it out here.

I think one of my characters has a 3d map of the Nexus, magically updated in real time...

And that's entirely dependent on your response to her letter.

[Hattish Thing]

Ah...ok. Firat time that happened with me...Well...maybe when he returns we can reatart it.

Nexus cosmology droning powers GO!

The Nexus itself isn't a world, but rather a crossing point between innumerable worlds. Realities bleed together in the Nexus and the further one travels from the center of the Nexus (often times said to be Trog's Tavern, though this is understandably difficult to confirm) the more one enters one of the worlds which the Nexus touches.

If one travels far enough from the Nexus one will find themselves in an otherwise totally 'normal' reality that will probably be aware of those weird people who live Inside but shun them due to rampant insanity.

[OrchestraHc]

Singingnoodle, latest posts in the adventure plot are towards the bottom of page 17 in random plots.

*Poke*

[The Bushranger]

Come on, lead the target...

Stay on target...stay on target...

[Earl of Purple]

C'nor: I would be willing to restart that scene again, yes. I'm not sure who's turn it is to post, however, and I haven't seen a post by iElf for quite a while.

In other news, I might be here tomorrow after all- I have a stomach bug and have applied for extenuating circumstances.

Also, Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let the Questing Beast bite.

[Lady Serpentine]

Or put you under a geas... Questing Beasts are most unpleasant.

I believe it was iElf's turn, but considering that they seem to have gone back into permadeadtime, I think Mel'ara can be skipped, which would make it Harnel's.

*Pokes BR to Remnant and Trog's Second Floor*

[Mindfreak]

Hey guys, like I said Internet is super restricted, and I may not be able to pursue a more serious roleplaying stance again until perhaps next week.
But for now, I can roleplay.
Where am I needed?

[ThirdEmperor]

Well, I do believe we're waiting for a post from you in the Dave and Clarissa's Haunted House plot.

Except the Nexus is also a world too, given how many times someone has tried to destroy it, and WATCHTOWER's ongoing attempt to protect the damn thing. At the fact that it has a MagSat in orbit around it. And countless characters have also referred to it IC as a world.

So Nexus is a world that is also not a world.

Or if you want a less paradoxical interpretation: "Nexus? **** that ****, I'm getting pizza."

[Vhaidara]

Kris, Nexus, much like the Town before it, is not a world. It is a REALLY FREAKING BIG city that we generally consider to include the surrounding area. And it is considered the only noteworthy thing on the planet it is on. Ergo, you can destroy Nexus without destroying the planet, it's just hard to be that precise.

[happyturtle]

No, you can't destroy the Nexus. Unless you got unanimous consent from all the players who would be affected, it'd be godmodding.

[Gullara]

I'm going to have to disagree, Bookboy. The Nexus isn't Town. Sure that's what it evolved from, but that's just what it did, evolved and changed. Not to mention that in this context world does not equal planet.

[Lord Magtok]

Kris, Nexus, much like the Town before it, is not a world. It is a REALLY FREAKING BIG city that we generally consider to include the surrounding area.

Nope!

The Nexus existed before the creation of Inside, and if Inside were to suddenly fall into a black void of doomful nothingness, there would still be more than enough Nexus left over to go around. AMEN, GLoG, Watchtower, Riverside, and plenty of other terribly important landmarks, organizations, and other stuff is completely separate from Inside. Of course, in spite of all of that, Inside still happens to be very important, and is more or less the center of everything, but it's much less important to the Nexus than the Town was to the Town.

[Asha'man]

Are you guys seriously trying to explain an insanity and a paradox? The Nexus is just a really big place with life threatening adventures and dangers.
