OOC Thread for PPU Adventure #1

[piñata]

All right, I'm going to post my ideas for plot advancements here. If any of them interfere with anyone else's, let me know. BTW, the "travel plan" is just a rough, unofficial idea... if you guys want to change the order of the locations, let me know. For now, though, I'm listing them chronologically by when I think they're going to occur.

-Zero One-. Before reaching Ragbralbur, we have to cross this frigid Arctic wastleland that lies to the west of it. There's going to be an encounter with Wampa snow creatures, and an encounter with a droid of some sort that will take us to Redorblue01's underground lair. He's not Immortal, but he's used cybernetics to prolong his life (with the side effect of making him more machine than man). After RoB joins our party, we can go on to...

Ragbralbur. Here, the party will split up... one group, led by Bass, will go into town to hit some of the seedier bars and taverns, getting whatever useful information is available from the spies-for-hire that frequent such establishments. The other group, led by Elfie (and also containing Belgarath, since he's going to handle the meeting with DA) will access Elfie's backup lab, and there find DA (who, now that he's running the lab, is even quirkier than he was as a lab assistant -- this is mostly due to being deprived of human contact for centuries while he continued Elfie's work). After DA joins Elfie's group and Bass's group rejoins them, it's off to...

Algaria (the northern plain, which is on the other side of what used to be The Conclave's northern border). There, we will somehow collect Devo and Secole (I'll leave the details to someone else). Then, it's off to...

Static DMC. Since I'm not very welcome there, I'll be keeping a low profile and letting you guys handle this part of the adventure -- Static will never join us if he knows that "us" includes me. Next, it's time for...

Val Alorn. Here, we will probably have an encounter with Martje the blind seer (who may have something interesting to say about the Prophecy) before picking up Omeguz, temporarily hiring a ship (probably Greldik's) and hauling ass over the high seas to...

Olwe. There will be a lot going on here... a person, not part of the prophecy but still very important to our later success, to collect; an Elven enclave for Elfie to convince to join him (Elfie's part of the prophecy is to unite all the farflung Elf tribes and become High King over all Elvenkind); and a Grand Duke to depose (and execute, if at all possible). Then, it's into the ocean again, exploring what used to be the Conclave's east coast while looking for...

Scythe. He could be on or near one of any number of islands -- the hostile-Elf-inhabited East Olwe, the still fragmented Mer Empire to the north (formerly North Olwe), the treacherous isle of Deadman's Dike, where thousands of ships have met their doom on the rocky coastline, or the island chain of Las Cinco Muertes (the five deaths), a quintet of remarkably similar islands that are all inhabited by dinosaurs. After collecting Scythe, we can send the Cherek ship back to Val Alorn and travel on Scythe's ship to...

Nyissa. There, I'll be concluding my business with Queen Salmissra, and handling the rendevous with Panamon Creel (Viperdude) and his friendly guerrilla force.

After that, I'm not sure where we'll be going... the other pieces of the Prophecy are less easily collected.

[Wildkarrde]

I think that point would be a good one for Wildkarrde's ulterior motives to come into play, so iff you would allow me to, I'll take a brief detour at that point.

[piñata]

That'll presumably result in the meeting with Morbaruk, anyway, so it'll fit in nicely there. I was kind of hoping you (or someone else) would volunteer to "hijack" the story at the exact point where I ran out of ideas for it.

[Wildkarrde]

Oooh, hijack is a perfect term for what I'm going to do, teehee::realizes that sounds like a fairy rather than a diabolical maniac:: uh...Mwahahahahaha

[Belgarath]

That sounds good pinata...

DA hasn't had human contact for hundreds of years huh? That should be interesting ;D

Morb, can you get Scythe to join this forum, and find out if he can help in the adventure, so we don't have to post for him?

[Wildkarrde]

He said he would. Maybe we should find him first so he can start posting sooner, hmm?

[Scythe]

Say no more, I'd be happy to join in if you want me to. You guys'll have to fill me in on what has happened and stuff. What sort of stuff has been laid in concrete about my character already? I need to know what I have to work with. I'll do my best to be available to continue my part of the story, but there is a chance that I wont be so you might have to post for me a few times after all. Just communicate with me and I'll get it done. ;D ;D ;D

In other words: What did I miss? ;D

[piñata]

So far, the only background information that's been established about your character (other than the fact that he was Overlord of the South Conclave before its fall) is that he's a great explorer and adventurer (legendary in most circles), spending most of his time on the ocean seeking out new (and preferably dangerous) lands. He's also a Planeswalker, so be sure to increase your power level accordingly. ;D

So basically, any battles involving large capital ships are going to have you in charge of them. That's actually the reason I made your character like that... you mentioned being disappointed about the lack of big capital-ship battles in one of the Star Wars movies once, so I figured I'd make you an Admiral in the Conclave storyline.

[SuperBassX84]

Blarg. The necklace is back. Blarg.

-=Grumbles about its destruction on the 'Clave and it's apparent re-creation=-

[Wildkarrde]

Hmm, I just realizedm we need to explain how there's a new bane/necklace, since I kind of Drain Life'd him in the clave adventure,. I was going to use that as why Morb gets corrupted and all. But over a long time, since he';s strong. And not the same way as everyone else. He just sorta turns evil, but no voices. So we somehow need a new bane.

[piñata]

Oh, and Scythe, another thing: you can jump into the adventure at any time if you don't want to wait for us to track you down... Extrinta has a coastline and harbor, so you can just say you stopped for supplies or something, then sensed a magical commotion, then came across us when you went to investigate.

As for the necklace: I'm really not sure where SC is going with it.

[SuperBassX84]

Well, my plan on the 'Clave was to absorb him back into my being eventually (seeing as he IS an incarnation of MY evil). This would allow for some nifty plot twists in the future as well as the reason for my meditations here (re-read some of my posts...you'll pick up on it)

[Wildkarrde]

Well I was originally thinking that my Darin Lifing him would be a good chance for Morb to pick up some evil, and thats why he's missing and manupiulating in this one, but I suppose I can find some other reasons for that. Just remind me to lead up to this sometime before we finish the clave adventure.

[SuperBassX84]

Even if we do finish this 'Clave adventure, I'm sure there will be PLENTY more. Trust me. Just...GO FIX THE CURRENT ONE!!!

-=Cries=-

[Soulcatcher4]

what bass? Do you want me to continue with ythis? Or do you want me to rearrange it some how so it isn't really the necklace he's wearing, but an entirely different one. Maybe there could be two necklaces of the same entity.
