Fire Mist RPG: Seeking new writers

[Lady_Firehawk]

*nods* Of course there's fallen angels and stuff-- we just haven't dealt explicitly with them, I guess. It's a little uncomfortable for some, probably.

 

[Blessed-one]

yeah, LF.

Are there no 'fallen angels' or 'evil' in Christia?? How then could there be cults? These sorts of things usually have no substance without some evil lending power or credence to the followers.... so that they become convinced of the 'power'.

i assume that cultists can perform miracles, but using power of evil spirits rather than of God. Whereas with a demon..

oh, how about this? that this went back to the Time of Disorder (about 1000 years ago). The demon was the only one that survived the battle, probably because it was so powerful that they ended up sealing it as an alternative as they were too exhausted to destroy it?

the cup was the thing that Zantuk wants. um, right, what is it that the cup do?

 

[cyberwing]

Well, demons are merely another name for fallen angels. I was thinking perhaps we could make this demon perhaps 'tied' to the sacrificial cup that was used centuries ago by the cultists to worship it.
Leaving us the option later of aiming characters toward the quest to destroy the cup, then said evil creatures power is destroyed.... We must provide a difficult and worthy opponent to the Light for the story to build around. These were my thoughts....

 

[Blessed-one]

be back in two days time to give more thought to this. Going away for a while.

 

[Blessed-one]

i don't get Lady Knight's last two posts. Did you double post, LK? you can edit your post instead of making another one.
How did Zane get there? you need to give us more description to work on, else we wouldn't know how to reply to your character.

um.. the cup (ok, we can work this out later as to whether it is a cup or something else), could it be a sacred artifact of the cultists? they don't necessarily have to worship it, since their god is Zantuk.

 

[cyberwing]

On the cup (or whatever) No, I wouldn't expect they would worship it but it would be rather like a wicked Genie is tied to it's lamp, it is tied to the demon's evil and the demon is tied to it and to gain access to the item is to gain access to the demon's powerful evil call it's presence and have control over it.
*So to destroy the cup (or whatever) would be the way to destroy the demon or at least remove it's power.
That's what I was thinking of.

[The Duke]

Hey, everyone. I'm back. I looked at what's been posted while I was gone, and I'm really confused by it, so I'm not going to post until some other posts are done. I'm hoping that they will clear things up enough. Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know that I'm not longer absent.

 

[Buskanaka]

I also, have returned from my adventurings

 

[Blessed-one]

oh, that sounds workable, cyberwing!

glad to have you back, guys!! waiting for ya.

*plot notes
You know, we could even allow a group of items that needed to be found if that might help Lady Firehawk and Vigilante Hampster with your 'plot line'. Maybe the cup AND a knife for example that were used in rituals for the demonic force... That way both the 'cults' might be wanting to locate the items and could be at odds over trying to locate them before the other did! So you would have the female's cult and the males both trying to find the items first! LOL.... evil would be fighting among themselves for 'power'. hehehehe

*Firemist writers
WOOHOO! Great to have you guys back!!! We missed ya! 's Hope you had a REALLY blessed time!

thanks guys, good to be back my camp was awesome, it was a combined camp with all the christian groups from 3 different campuses of my uni and the main theme was holiness, so it was heaps good!

On the cup (or whatever) No, I wouldn't expect they would worship it but it would be rather like a wicked Genie is tied to it's lamp, it is tied to the demon's evil and the demon is tied to it and to gain access to the item is to gain access to the demon's powerful evil call it's presence and have control over it.

so why couldn't they destroy the cup before, when they imprisoned the demon?

 

[Lady_Firehawk]

Too weak from battling it?

 

[Blessed-one]

yep, same thought here LF. Sealing the demon basically also sealed the cup away with it.
um.. but if they couldn't do it back then? oh well, we had to take into consideration of all the other elements since it was during the time of disorder.

 

[Buskanaka]

so it can be a quest to destroy the magical thingy-thingy!

maybe there's a strange mountain somewhere in anserak that is filled with lava and they have to throw the cup in

 

[Lady_Firehawk]

ROTFLOL!!!

/me gasps for breath, her face slowly turning purple
If I keep laughing, I'll asphyxiate...

Whatever the case, VH is gonna have to get her evil little healer wench in on it! Of course, what Isliel would want with a demonic wine glass, I'm not quite sure. Maybe Zantuk needs a new way to enjoy his Chianti and Merlot?

 

[Blessed-one]

no way, that's too much like LOTR, Bus!! *BIG NO*

um.. to open into another world?

Hmmm good question.... perhaps it was LOST?? Maybe there was a cave-in (which trapped the creature and the previous heroes had not realized the creature was tied to the item? Oh, LOTS of possibilities....)

LOL, yes we could do that but how about some other way of destroying it? Like it need to be doused with water from a sacred well or has to be melted by dragon fire from a special dragon of some sort or one who possesses some special gift or power? .... one we will have to discover??? Come on let's keep the ideas rolling here....
~Cyberwing

PS NO WAY LADY FIREHAWK!!! Can't waste GOOD Merlot on the evil sorts!!! ROFL!!!!

 

[Buskanaka]

no way, that's too much like LOTR, Bus!! *BIG NO*

yeah that was the point

but dont worry I was only kidding

VH will like this quest. its destroying the magical thingy-thingy not collecting

 

[Blessed-one]

ok, due to necessity, i've hammered out the history and details of the demons with LF. I've posted them in 'A Time of Trial' but please give feedback. I can go back and edit the post as we go.

“On top of mana assaults, El had the Nel’luficum to deal with. With a feline like body but twice the size of Teglon,” Arcares said. The class erupted into good-natured laughter. “Strong muscled with sleek fur, eyes that were even redder than the dragons and bodies the width of a tree trunk, they possessed incredible strength and speed. One normal sword could hardly pierce its skin. The mana wielders back then were placed under extreme pressure to handle these other world creatures, leaving the soldiers to withstand mana attacks by themselves. As a result of overload, a great number of Mexgardus were destroyed.”

need a better name for them besides Nel'luficum?

BTW, this is only a description in common songs, when the group gets to meet the actual demon (don't use the word 'demon' in posts please), it's gonna be quite different.

and also, all the records on this last surviving demon, sealed away under the mountains are destroyed, so to prevent people from digging up its location. As far as everyone is concerned (save the few Zantukite individuals), the demons are just legendary creatures. They do not exist in Christia. How's that? (meaning the dwarves and dragons don't know about it either)

 

[Buskanaka]

what's wrong with that name? seems perfectly fine to me.

cyber do you have something planned for the shadow in the trees?
