Re: Lords of Creation: Boundless Wonder, Endless Strife. [IC] [Part II]
The High Roads
Yohalles the Elder let out a low growl. Eroberung's actions had lit a small fire of fury beneath Yohalles and that fire now grew, subtly changing Yohalles's form so that it was more feral. As The Elder spat on the ground he created a new race that were anger incarnate. Small, ferocious impish little humanoids with six arms, two legs, and a single wickedly curved horn in the middle of their heads. These Angips spread throughout the world quickly, becoming a nuisance almost immediately.
Then he cut his thumb, letting the blood drip onto the ground. Immediately a long ornate spear that is colored blood red burst forth from the bloody mud. This spear is created for one purpose, and with thst purpose in mind The Elder blinked, teleporting in front of Eroberung, thrusting the spear towards him.
As this happens Yohalles the Younger feels his domain expand, taking in fury. What a horrible emotion to become a part of you.

Re: Lords of Creation: Boundless Wonder, Endless Strife. [IC] [Part II]
Ombra kept smiling as she left. That had gone well, he thought. Getting into a philosophical debate partway through was a bit of a mistake but she did seem to have enjoyed herself. Considering what had happened last time they were alone, it-
YOU DID WHAT?!
Ombra blinked as he brought his mental barriers up. Oh yeah, forgot about her.

Michael and Sofía
They saw a large, glittering city in the distance that danced with lights. Caravans of goblins headed out from it and in to it, and hunting parties went out to find food and defeat any Steel Predator they may find. A flowing river went past it, and goblins and crabfolk farmed crops on tilled land brought from the sea.
"Let's visit the city. We might be able to see their culture as well as exploring their lands."
Her wings hovered slightly in anticipation. She hadn't had the best of experiences in goblin cities. She wanted to help her former race, though, so she would take a risk.Characters in Lords of Creation games:

A large, brightly colored, muscular Lloya pats a stool next to a campfire, which is a triangular piece of furry hasen hide stretched between three small poles stuck in the ground. I am First-touched.

Do I have some duty to ensure the safety of others? Kipt thought to himself, and was close to giving in to Dralcor. He had never been a dutiful god, but then again there had never been much opportunity to prove himself dutiful, or otherwise. What of my pantheon? Do I owe them any protection? that thought did not weigh so heavily as the next one did. If not me then who would they raid? Kipt had seen hints of the Peofowlkin suffering the sting of the Drakes as well, and he could not let that go. If not for Adelaide, his confrontation might have gone completely differently. Instead, Kipt now looked completely determined, "If not mine, then whose- why must you attack others at all? Dammit, they are your people. Guide them!" That made Kipt think, maybe Dralcor is just a vile god who leads his people to such evil.
The High Roads
Seera accepts the invitation, "Gladly, friend." Seera act friendly enough, but he still seems somewhat distant, and first-touched may begin to think it is just the mannerisms he has. "I know that your people have expressed their friendship to our's recently, and I have come to ask your assistance in our upcoming struggle with the Kriegmensch. Know that I would not have come if I did not think it might be necessary."
The Hidden Isle
Jewel smiled, and tried to think of something else to say. Nothing came to mind, so she sat in silence for a minute. She relocated to the couch with him, and snuggled next to him; she just wanted to enjoy this moment. When the princess returns, she finds them cuddling.
SpoilerYeah, i'm playing the "i'm all out of things to say here" card.
Razorpine Forest
Stamyn rears on his mount fast enough to get out of the way of Eom's first strike. The two clash briefly, but when Stamyn realizes that his opponent is backed with the direct power of his god, and has nearby backup, the druids flees on his alligator, grabbing Rivra along the way. They dash through the woods, and whenever it seems like their adversaries are gaining on them, a wild animal will emerge to attack them. Along the way, Stamyn dispatches his bird again, and before long a horn is heard faintly in the distance, in the direction the council is in. Once Stamyn reaches the council, the druids have already declared war.
SpoilerIf you want to work with me on separate troop movements and strategy we could wage a war, or if you want to move on, we could just sum it up.
Dragonloft
SpoilerDid we ever establish what the Peofowlkin slavers are like? Anyways, I thought it might be interesting to have some playout from inside slavery, and who knows where it will go from there I tried to describe dragonloft, a place I didn't create, so if anything is off, or you didn't think there would be a cage or something even, you can rewrite parts of it, mark.
The initial three slaves that had been taken from the fertile valley were surprised top say the least to see their captors convening with other raiders who had captured brightly colored bird people. The three Elthien slaves differed greatly in appearance. Milie looks flustered even in her unconscious state that she is seen in by them initially, she has orange eyes, and has typical Elthien goldenrod hair; Zesbrin is an older looking man who is seen taunting the drakes, and taking a beating from the drakes- usually in a sequential manner, he has greying hair and bright pink-red eyes that give him an odd look; and Jarla is a young girl, too young really, who pleads with them to set her free, her hair is tinged with brown, and her eyes are a pretty shade of blue-green.
After they were brought to Dragonloft, the slavers were brought to a great cage in a section of the mountain that seemed like a branch out form the drake's great treasure vaults. Inside the cage, the young Jarla continued to plead with her drake captors, "Please. Why are you doing this?" Once Milie had gained consciousness, she began to sob in the corner. It was only Zesbrin who approached the Peofowlkin slaves immediately. "Hello, strangers. Well we've really gotten ourselves in a bind now, haven't we? Where do folks as...flashy as yourselves hail from?"

Dralcor said, "Well they obviously need slaves to carve out tunnels, serve them food, entertain them, and they need to be able to get out there anger with a bit of torture. Does that some up the explanation." The last sentience he said very rudely as if it was an act of defiance.

Michael and Sofía
Sofía gladly followed him into the city.
The city was loud and chaotic, with vendors advertising for their wares and people, goblin and crabfolk, walking the streets. But it was also a place of peace, of unity between two races. As the two passed, many goblins muttered at the wings on their backs. Eventually, three goblin soldiers came up to the pair.
"We're glad to have you in our city, but we'd like to know why you're here better. We haven't seen your kind before."
Aquaeris
The god smiled at his niece and brother. "You have a good day, my brother. Thank you for the cake, my niece. But if it is within the bounds of etiquette, I must go for a time."Characters in Lords of Creation games:

Michael and Sofia
Michael walked into the city with Sofia, thinking flight might be a bit much for people who had never seen them before. Michael admired the unity that exists and the serenity that echoed through the city, despite the busy merchants.
When the soldiers greeted them, he hailed them, and spoke about the origin of these strangers, "My kind is the Cretaum, we of the Mirage Empire, tribe of Kilos, come in peace. We're here to see what the United Goblin Emirates are doing. We have been out of contact since our inception, including during the time of the fall of Lokab. What are the major events going on here right now?"

"Well if he does come to our defense," Seera says, and takes a quick drink of milk, "we shall be grateful. We thank you for any migration help you may provide us as well. I must warn you, if this does go through, the Razorpine forest is vast, and all of the animals will face extinction with their habitat destroyed. It will be a big task to move so many, is there any preparation your kind could do?"

"Allow me to make myself clear," Kipt says as calmly as he can, but it is clear he is fuming at Dralcor. "I am asking you to forbid your people from slavery, else you have a problem with me."

Re: Lords of Creation: Boundless Wonder, Endless Strife. [IC] [Part II]
[Free Port]
Anarya sat on the edge of a narrow bed, in one of Free Port's many inns, reading the note her goddess had left her yet again, wondering why it was taking so long for Savorla to come to her. She had, after all, done as she had been instructed several weeks ago, and yet, despite the promise to come to her once it was done, the goddess had been stubbornly absent, with not even the faintest sign to indicate anything other than normalcy.
Sighing, she crumpled the note and threw it towards the fireplace. Apparently, she'd been abandoned again. But she could deal with that; it was hardly the first time, after all. At least in this case, she had a pair of magic guns and some money...
Turning her gaze back towards the flames, not wanting to let the actual burning of the note go unremembered, she stared in bemusement at the crumpled piece of paper floating in midair, though her reverie was soon broken by the sudden feeling of a large weight appearing behind her, and a pair of arms wrapping themselves around her stomach.
"So, you thought I'd left you here on your own, hm?", Savlora asked, resting her head on her Chosen's left shoulder, and grinning impishly up at the woman. "I can't say I blame you. I'm sorry for the delay, pretty one; there were other things that came up, and then I lost track of time," the goddess went on, planting a gentle kiss at the hollow of Anarya's neck. "In any case, you've more than proven yourself, so you're now officially my Chosen. All that's left is the actual imbuing..."
Anarya frowned, pulling away slightly at the mention of imbuing. She'd heard rumors and legends about people turned into puppets by that, nothing more than a shell for the god - or goddess - to walk the world. Not that Savorla seemed the type to do that, of course, and if she were it probably wouldn't matter, but still. That sort of thing wasn't something she was at all eager to have happen to her.
"What exactly do you mean by that? I know it's putting god-stuff into something, but what'll it do to me? I kind of like being who I am, you know."
The Ghost Lover smiled reassuringly, softly caressing the mortal's cheek, and shook her head. "Nothing unpleasant, or altering in any way other than making you more powerful, I promise you. All the imbuing itself will mean is that you'll be closer to a deity in some physical ways, and I'm sure you'll have no objections to how it's done..."
The fact that it was obvious there was now only one layer of cloth between them where there had been two a moment ago, and the way Savorla was gently, but quickly, unlacing the mortal's clothing, made her intent quite clear...
SpoilerStarting AP: 15
Raise Hero - Anarya Nachtstieg (-4 AP): Anarya is now officially Savorla's Chosen.
Divine Infusion - Anarya Nachtstieg (-2 AP): When Savorla slept with Anarya, she used the intimacy to merge their essences.
Ending AP: 9
[Dragonloft]
The morning after Anarya's infusion, while her Chosen slept, Savorla cast out from herself, searching for those she might aid. And, soon enough, the plight of a young girl, locked in a cage as a slave, drew her like a beacon.
As she gently insinuates herself into Jarla's mind, the Elthien girl likely gets the sense of being drawn into a warm, loving, embrace, though there's no physical manifestation to go with it.
"They're doing this because they don't want to work themselves, Jarla. They don't care that you don't want to be here, or that they took you from your family and your friends.
Now... Speaking of friends, little one, would you like some company? I can't risk setting you free, but I can talk to you no matter where you are, and send feelings, give you a shoulder to cry on, even if it's just in your mind. And if you ever manage to get some privacy, I can actually show up in person for that."Last edited by Lady Serpentine; 2012-08-30 at 12:51 AM.

The Fertile Valley
SpoilerSorry about that, Elemental. I have a lot of locations going on, I guess I lost track of one of them.
Merk was impressed by the amount of responsibility Zerachiel had. "It sounds like you have a lot of responsibility. In our fertile valley, we have a simple system. We all work as hard as we can farming, or in a trade. Leading us has always been a single person that is generally respected by all. Anything else you want to know?"
The High Roads
Seera looks thoughtful, "I would hate to count us out in this war. It might be that we are able to drive the invaders out of our home. Then again, it could be a good idea to have the animals out while we fight." He takes another sip of milk, "Another thing, we haven't decided where to go yet... we are working on it, though."
Acabare
Kipt eyed the situation sadly. His brother, he figured would be of the same mind as him as he often was. "Do not bother with him, Aqaeris," Kipt told him, "He is beyond reason." Hid melancholy view only held for a few moments after his brothers arrival before he succumb to anger again. "Let me deal with him," he told Aqaeris solemnly.
"Dralcor!" Kipt called to the dragon god aas he walked away, hopefully causing him some pause. "You have offended us! You think that you will get away with your evil ways without retribution, but you are wrong! You Drakes may raid from the air, but what will you do when your death comes from above?!" With that, Kipt visits the heavens to amass his army.
The Heavens
Kipt assumed command of his archon army by sitting in his crafted throne in the heavens. He dispatched waves of his soldiers with the sheer purpose of being a bane to the Drakes, and to free whatever slaves possible.
The Hidden Isle
SpoilerSounds good.
Dragonloft
Jarla felt the loving energy seep through her, and she was suddenly at ease. Next, she retreated from the Drakes to the back of the cell, where she crouched up in a ball, mystified by the voice in her head. "Who are you?" She asked the question out loud in a soft, relaxed tone.

Re: Lords of Creation: Boundless Wonder, Endless Strife. [IC] [Part II]
The Hidden Isle
And so, it happened.
The council was cordial enough, the people of the Isle had very little for underhanded politics and in the end the word of the Scepter was law. There was little use in assassinating a leader when you could not control who would succeed him. Well, you could, but those plans had a tedency to bring about civil war.
Captain Jericho is against the idea of even listening to these outsiders. Prime Minister Jakak is excited by the prospect of opening up a port outside of the Isle herself, allowing the Isle to trade without compromising her security. Eventually Charles ends the discussion and firmly points out that they could not risk this power to fall into the wrong hands.
Jericho agrees to lead a company of Knights of the Scepter to this Isle. Aboard a fleet of three ships. It took about a month before the fleet was made ready to set sail, in that time, Tanya became fast friends with the pair. And when it came time for Jewel and Jib to depart, she was sorry to see them go.
In her own time, she would grow to be a great leader of her people, but that was years away yet and the Scepter was pleased to rest in her father's hand.
The Voyage
As the pair soon learn Kaplans are the main sailors of the Isle. Having a natural affinity for water and an undying devotion to Aqaerius. Strangely there are few Kaplan knights, in fact there are only three in the entire order. Though the one Kaplan that the fleet brought with them seems to be afforded as much respect as Jericho himself.
Humans seem to be the ones most commonly called to knighthood and they are a part of every walk of life in the Isle. After them are the Ravenkin, who make up the majority of the Isle's aristocracy. Then goblins, who tend to favor artisanship to war, though the few goblin knights are fearsome indeed. Last, is of course, the Kaplans, whose only knights are the naturally occuring super soldiers within their race, the Kirik. The rest, stay to the sea and catch fish and pearls for the Isle.

Thorondor heard the voice of his creator, "Thorondor, return to Anreydu at once."
With a short sqwak he obeyed.
Anreydu
"Why you call me back?"
Bjor shrugged, "Kipt is moblizing for war."
"I no ask you."
"Shut up, both of you."
Bjor frowned, but merely asked, "What would you have us do?"
"Two armies attacking the same enemy uncooridinated is unacceptable. I want you to go to Kipt and offer your services as a strategic analyst."
"And the others?"
"I'll hold them in reserve for now, to be honest, I hadn't expected Kipt to act."
"Leadership does change a man."
"Aye, make head get big."
The Heavens
An eagle bearing a single rider approaches Kipt's throne, "Hail Kipt! I am Bjor Hellsbane Captain of the Exalted Knights, I am here to offer my services as a tactician if you would have me."Gwyn, The First Knight
