The Ultimate Conflict (Of Gods and Royalty) OOC

[hpboy111]

True, but you did make the situation worse. Apart from that, I trust your judgement as to what Daniel looks like and encourage you to use some creative license. These are just your views of each character, and you should feel free to draw Daniel however you might envision him.

[Toska Moriarty]

Of course I made it worse. That's kind of my forte. Besides, Sebastian's kind of indulgent and androgynous anyway. For fracks sake, I would use 'Frilly' to describe him just as soon as I would use ' Sarcastic' 'Noble' or 'Murderous'. He'll be done within a day or so.

I think "pea-cocking" is one of the best descriptors for Sebastian, I couldn't stop laughing when I first read that post.

[Toska Moriarty]

So...Are the rest of you just going to Idle while we chat it up with the boat-people? I'm almost done with my end of the conversation, one or two dialogue posts left tops, then one or two to get back to the rest of our group. I'm not complaining, really, but some of the stuff that Gidae, Erika, and of course The Harvest Queen do really brighten my day.

[Maugan Ra]

Yeah, we're mostly just waiting I think. It's that or we head off and abandon you.

Fear not, Erika is spending all the time delay thinking up new and inventive ways to mock and embarrass people.

[Realms of Chaos]

I could always make stuff happen in Sigil if you wanted.

Any takers?

Edit: If anyone needs to communicate stuff with people of other parties, you guys probably don't need me to tell you that PMs are your friend.

[Toska Moriarty]

Huh. All of that complaining about how difficult it will be to keep track of Sebastian now that he can fly, and I'm left on the boat. Nice.

[hpboy111]

Well, I'm glad that the forums are back. How about all of you?

[Realms of Chaos]

Viva La Forum.

Edit: Where exactly is Gidae, Infernally Clay? Hard to continue IC until I can account for everyone.
Edit Edit: For that matter, is Vael keeping the gate open long enough for Fang and Daniel to make it back (as they just declared their intention to do so?)

[Toska Moriarty]

I'm just happy the boards are back in town. Not sure what would be more entertaining, either; The gate to The Acropolis left open for people to wander in at random, or sealing it with half the party still in Sigil.

They didn't declare their intention to the Queen. If they're not back by the time she's going to Plane Shift out with the others, then the gate to the Acropolis is closed.

Of course, if you want to say they get back in time just to simplify things, I have no problem.

For clarity though, since there seems to be some confusion- the Acropolis gate is going to close either way. The Queen isn't using it for anything, she's just closing it. To get everyone to the Astral Plane, she's using Greater Plane Shift. No travel through the Acropolis necessary.

[Toska Moriarty]

I am genuinely excited to (nearly) the point of giddiness. The party's going to be split right up the middle, and when the half Sebastian's in gets to where the Gate was, it'll be closed? Do you have any idea what this means?!

I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO PRAY TO HER!!!!

[Metroid33]

Lol we all do I think if we want her to get us there.

[Toska Moriarty]

Back to our board again! Didja' miss me? Anywhoo, doing my job and being the best pain in the ass possible, but I think after that we should all be back together again! YAY! Till then, though, ladies; good luck with the Gods.

[Realms of Chaos]

Although I probably could have squeezed all of the info into a single gigantic post, I'm going for a slightly slower approach so you actually have time to respond to things and so it's less likely that large portions would be ignored.

While I admit it's not the best technique, this is also the only real info dump that I have planned for a very long time (possibly even the campaign). If things seem to be going painfully slow, let me know and I'll speed things up.

Toska: I look forward to the prayer.

[Maugan Ra]

I spoilered my own post to keep from revealing things. The Queen might exploit the second hand news, and Erika might well let her because it's amusing.

You know, the more time Erika spends around you lot, the further she drifts from Chaotic Good.

Then welcome to the part of the game where Alignment isn't so important. With the justification fencing matches and character (Not alignment) acting, sooner or later the little 'Hello my name is' tag wears away. I believe the term is 'Chaotic fun'.

EDIT: Ignoring the spoiler'd post in the IC board has to be the most painful thing I've ever forced myself to do. That says alot, actually, but would you believe how tempted I am to hold my monitor up to the window and try to see through the spoiler tag?

[Metroid33]

Ugh I find it really annoying that the queen left us behind and Daniel just seems to be standing there looking off into space, I'm getting extremely bored of this so will someone in sigil please post because I'm waiting on them, or hell I'll sit down and pray to the harvest queen and turn evil so that at least we can get somewhere. If no one posts in like a couple of hours I'm doing the praying.

Calm your jets kiddo; I've got it completely written up. I'm just giving Daniel AMPLE TIME to act before I do. I've been looking forward to this for weeks, and with Sebastian's habit for showmanship, he has too. Don't make him backstab you for stealing the spotlight, eh? I know it would take the paladin months to respond to the betrayal, but even that would be messy.

[AmberVael]

Come to think of it, why do you guys even need to summon the Queen? Daniel knows where you want to go, and Sebastian has a cubic gate keyed to the Astral Plane.

You know, I've been sitting on that information for quite some time. That's the backup plan if I 1: Cant reach you, 2: Get a 'Do it yourself' response, or 3: Get separated. Calling to the queen is just more fun. If only I was less polite and could just do it?

OH COME ON........ I just want to get moving in the thing but Scott HPboy111 won't post, even though we both have the same amount of crap to do, I'm still finding time to post.

[Metroid33]

Can Daniel or Sebastian please do SOMETHING... its so boring waiting around for Sebastian to pray.

[Toska Moriarty]

We. Have. To. Wait. Have some patience dammit. You don't think I'm bored two? I actually have like four prewritten prayers I'm sitting on depending on his reaction. There are rules and agreements in place about going AWOL, he'll rspond eventually, wether it's HPboy or RoC.

You need to focus, and have some patience. This is probably why Fang and Sebastian don't get along. You're too...Chaotic

[Realms of Chaos]

I actually just PMd hpboy111 the other day and got a response. Apparently, the thread was somehow desubscribed after the long boards outage and he hasn't been getting updates.

[Maugan Ra]

And.... That was interesting. Screw you, Realms.

Sure, it makes total sense with the backstory, and fits the ongoing characterization so well I'm a little concerned you've been mind controlling me, and it should even be quite fun to work with in-character, but still...

Screw. You.

Considering the flood of PM's, emails, and messages I've sent through other mediums, I would like to announce that I smell something both fecal and bovine about.

Excuses, Excuses. How could he think that no-one has posted over atleast a whole week? Bah!

Regardless, I'm just happy to hear he's still alive and (Hopefully) back. Wonder why he hasn't posted yet. Oh, and one more thing: These spoiler tag posts? Murder. I'm a creature of curiosity, damn it! Little OOC hints and quips are not enough to sustain me! I'm STARVING to read those.

*Grumble grumble, Gripe gripe*

It might also be in part that the search function on the boards has been disabled ever since the boards reboot (I know that someone on another thread lost track of his/her games as soon as he/she couldn't just look them up). In the end, however, I just hope that we end up with our paladin.

Also, the spoilers shouldn't last too much longer. Everything seems to be wrapping up nicely.

[Toska Moriarty]

Well, regardless, Hopefully we're on the way. I kind of got sick of waiting for HPboy's post and jumped the gun, so to speak. Maybe now Ill finally get to read some of the spoiler stuff, because frankly, OOC reactions alone are killing me.

Edit: Roc, any word from Hp? I've gotten nothing and it's been more than a week. I'm worried about him.

[Metroid33]

Oh yes, and I take it we still can't look at the old meeting grounds posts? just want to know before I look "by accident"
