Where Dark Elves Rule (An all Monk party 2)

[kentma57]

As your team gathers at the gate a young monk(no more than 20) aproaches you "I am Thufir Hawat and I am to be your guide, are you ready to leave?"

[expirement10K14]

I don't ever carry much, so I am. I do not know about the others though.

Thrando looks around to see what the others say and do. It is impolite to keep anyone waiting. These people seem a bit rude. Why don't I remember any of them. A yak-man is something not easily forgotten.

[Rei_Jin]

Fu Ling

Fu Ling merely stands and nods, motioning that he is ready to continue at any time.

[mistformsquirrl]

"Certainly."

[Adumbration]

"Ready and waiting." Yuma raises an eyebrow.

[kentma57]

OOC: So I will be busy for the next few days, and unless one of you wants to fight there will be no random encounter(worth mentioning); I will try to get the next big post up soon(when you arive at the wizards house).

Lyaeus - half-satyr swordsage

You do realise that there is no competition here, no need to feel jealousy or conflict? We are allies, and we are to work together for the good of the monastery, however the Master wishes.

What I do, how I move, is what I am. This is all I know. I travel the hidden paths and walk the way of the broken one. It is not out of spite, malice, or competition that I do this. It is all that I am, and all that I can be.

"Hah! As if the master himself had said it! Well done, Ling. You truly are an excellent student to the Master. But have you considered that what you dismiss as competition is a way of challenging yourself to perform? To become more masterful of your abilities? Perhaps some external pressures can take you to levels you can't reach by yourself." Lyaeus' monologue is accompanied by a smile and energy. He clearly enjoys arguing with the believers in the monastic life.

To young Thufir, "Lead on, youngling! Let's get this circus on the road!"

[Rei_Jin]

Fu Ling

Fu Ling looks at Lyaeus, as if a little confused.

What do you mean, become MORE masterful? I walk the path of the broken one. There is no more, or less. Just the path. And I am challenged constantly by acting on the will of the master. There is no need for me to compare my skills to those of others, for we all have weaknesses and strengths. That is why we are partied together for a common goal, rather than being sent on an individual mission.

A single strand is easily broken, but a cord of three is hard to sever.

Johnny "Arimus"

Johnny rolls his eyes. "Nothing wrong with a little competition," he comments. "Helps up learn our limits and see what others can do. It would be better settle this tension now rather than let it interfere with our mission. Might was well spar it out now. Might be interesting to see where everyone's training has taken them."

Johnny shrugs. "Otherwise, let's put a end to his and get going. I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities for us all to prove ourselves."

[expirement10K14]

I walk the way of the monk. Humble and noble. There is no need to show off, it does not make you superior in any way.

Thrando keeps moving, pulling his hood over his head.

Anything that negates your magic kills you anyway, he mutters under his breath.

[Rei_Jin]

Fu Ling shrugs and follows Thrando out of the Monastery for a few steps, before going invisible again.

Lyaeus - half-satyr swordsage

"Oooo, methinks I touched a nerve," staring at the space formerly occupied by Ling.

Lyaeus walked merrily along once the party started moving, regaling his companions with tales of his experiences - raiding the den of the colossal red dragon Kragatonan for a mystic ruby the size of a human head (and planting evidence it was carried out by a Vecna cultist warlord); rescuing lost children from an evil gnome bard; making a fool of himself at the state dinner with the Prince, the ambassador, and the ambassador's daughter; the cult of Erythnul that was broken and whose high priestess was hung up like a pinata outside the King's gate as a gift; and of the opportunity to join legendary warrior Tsou Chang on his last mission for Emperor Hsing, foiling the plans of the mad troll general Shivan.

"So, what have you guys been up to?"

[Adumbration]

"Me? Well, just last week, for an example, I wrestled the fearsome gabbleduck of the elemental plane of earth. An evil wizard had summoned it, but could not control it, and the gabbleduck gabbled him up fast. That, of course, relieved me of dealing with the wizard himself, but had you seen the terrible creature, you would've rather battled dozens of wizards. Three times the gabbleduck gabbled me up into it's stomach, and each time I punched it in the kidneys and wrestled with it's guts, before it spat me up. At the end of the day - me holding his liver as a hostage - we settled down to a deal. The gabbleduck would return to it's homeplane, and bother the local village no more. It asked nothing but it's liver back, and a nice cup of tea before it left. You see, that's why it was so grumpy, why, it hadn't had a proper cup of tea in centuries!" Yuma's expression is completely solemn and serious as he tells the tale.

Sorry but I have some bad news: some things have come up and my DMing has come to a dead stop. I just don't have any time to run these games. If someone wants to find a DM, I can fill them in on the campaign.

[Rei_Jin]

//Well, that was quicker than normal. No offence intended Kentma57, but I'm yet to be in a PbP game that has actually finished it's adventure. Most of them last one or two weeks. And this one looked to be a lot of fun.

Guess I'll keep hoping *Sigh*

[mistformsquirrl]

<;_;> That sucks. Oh well, thanks for trying Kentma!

[kentma57]

Good news by friend offered to DM, so when I get home I will jump you into the next plot segment.

ps: I will PM you all later(because you have stoped reading this thread)

[Rei_Jin]

*Prepares to use the electric paddles on the game*

CLEAR!

*BBBBZZTT ZAP!*

[kentma57]

Right sorry, I will give the campaign to my friend on the weekend and he will continue it. I just don't have time for this....
