The quest to defeat evil in Duria

[Brilliand]

OK, I'm going with a small group of powerhouses:

Iban
Querrot final form (from the future - practically a cyborg)
Keleinestwif (four-armed rune mage, armed with rune-covered staffs)
Argusandra (able to reflect attacks)

 

[Narmegil]

Sounds cool, for my group, how about 3 dragons, all very large and fire breathing, 12 giant trolls, fully armored with Mace-and-Chains, and Battle Axes, as well as 30 archers, 40 Uruk, and um.. that's probably it.

 

[Brilliand]

Anyone else going to post groups, or should we move on to deciding the order?

 

[Raptureman]

Hmmm.... I would say Narm first....

 

[Brilliand]

I'd say Raptureman's group looks weakest, except that I'm not sure what the pyromancer and necromancer are (that could be why). How powerful are they (i.e. what can they do)?

 

[Maul]

Woops! Ok, well, my group(hard, just in case): Aries(character), 5 expert assassins, 2 body gaurds of Aries(kinda like the Ra'zac in Eragon and Eldest except with a bit less power; ex. they can't blow up a house silently), 30 Uruks(like the Kull in Eragon once again), 20 Elite, 50 orcs(regulars), 25 archers, one oliphant with Aries and his bodygaurds on it with some elite archers;20, one lesser Dragon, capable of breathing fire but not for a long period.

They might be a bit too powerful, put together

 

[Raptureman]

Pyro= fire mancer= honestly, no idea. A pyro mancer has control over fire.
I thinlk we all know what necromancers do right? For those that don't know: Control the dead.

 

[Maul]

Not really control.. Summon, yes, but not control 100%.. And I would say it would take up physical strength to summon them, because it would be a bit god-modding, controling every single dead person within Duria or whatever.

 

[Raptureman]

and I'd say me group is the strongest and the largest....

 

[Brilliand]

Iban can destroy the world if he gets frustrated...

What I meant was, about how much can those mages do at a time? A pyromancer can mean anything from burning hands to a volcano, while a necromancer mught raise dead dragons and shoot death rays - or he might just summon thousands of human zombies.

 

[Maul]

^That is what I am talking about - a bit god-moddish, doncha think? That's why we should limit it to energy. Example: shoot an arrow and it flies on mile. You will be tired from pulling the string back and everything, right? Well, if we limited it to enerygy and you shot it with magic, it would take the same amount of enerygy. Savvy? And I don't appeal to the destroying the whole worl thing either

 

[Brilliand]

OK, Iban won't destroy the world. We just have to kill him with an energy or magic attack when he isn't touching the ground.

I agree than Narmegil's group should go first. However, I don't see any point in making an effort to avoid the evil characters' godmoding. The good characters have the advantage of biased authors.

 

[Maul]

Yup, we sure can kill the whole underworld, eh? Right. Easy: and Elf, another one that can use magic, a dude that is mending his armour, a boy, another person(txeagle), Siela's character although she hasn't posted in awhile, and anyone else I missed.. They have to die sometime. Elves cannot die from old age, but they can be pained from it. Oromis, from Eldest.

 

[Brilliand]

Querrot can make himself younger, so no age limit there. Although I do have a limit of about a thousand years because I have an evil Querrot coming from the future...

It might help to pick up the Whipmaster's magic-negating blade. We could have the characters grow stronger as the story progresses.
However, I think it's time to start thinking about the end. What are we really fighting, and how do we end the rush of evil? Perhaps some hidden evil temple needs to be smashed up?

 

[Maul]

But then he would have to rest, right?

I agree with that, that is the way life goes.. Start out crawling, end in running over 100mph

The evil could be the source of an old relic. Or maybe more then two, maybe three or more, so we can keep the story going, like this relic is where we are going now and after we destroy it something could hint that the other relic is in the middle of the land and the next is in the mountains somewhere..

 

[Brilliand]

Sounds good. Let's put the first attack in the middle of the night - just shock troops at first, so we have time to wake up, then the dragons show up. The second attack in the pass... and the others after reaching our armies? Perhaps for number 3 we could even save our armies by attacking the enemy from the rear.

Oh, and who wants to pick up the whipmaster's sword?

 

[Raptureman]

Me! Me! I wanna another sword!

 

[Narmegil]

Great idea! The main plot was to reach our armies, trapped before the pass, and then fight our way back and destroy the evil encapturing Duria. Basically, there was going to be some main baddie..

 

[Brilliand]

Raptureman, the dirk negates magic, so you'll have to put it away to use your mana. But it will be great protection against Keleinestwif and your wizard villains.

 

[Maul]

What? What is this talk of armies? Am I blind? I thought it was just us..
