View Full Version : Who wants to make a mess?

All right, with a rather wide range of free time that I find in my hands, as I starve myself on a diet of solely coffee and cigarettes with the occassional sandwich every couple of days, I've come back to Althanas, missing the feeling of writing ultraviolence and such. Now as a member of Althanas, I have any number of options to get myself back into the flow of things. I could, like usually, start a solo. Or, I could try to shoehorn myself into any random quest.

However, I'd prefer a blood drenched, teeth rattling knockdown.

Not any will do, though. The plot I have continues directly off of this thread (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=11032&page=8), Letho's many-man-melee. In it, Dan collected some of Letho Ravenheart's blood in a vial, planning to exchange it to a Salvarian alchemist for info on his daughter. The real blood of a hero is a hot commodity. On its own, it's not much; it oozes and drips if you turn its container upside down, and its a delicious refreshment, if you're into shit like that, I guess, you fucking freak.

But when prepared alchemically, the blood of a hero could be used for powerful potions. It can be used in the forge to make weapons of power, or used as an ingredient in certain necromantitc rituals. The list goes on; its versatile stuff, really.

What I'm planning, as that either one of your characters, or something I'll just NPC, snatches the vial off of him as he hobbles down the Radasanth streets, slowly healing. The thief, in panic and seeking refuge, high tails it back into the Citadel. Dan does the logical thing, returns to the Citadel, kicks down a random door, and barges into other people's business, going on a rampage to find the thief.

Now, aside from a thief, I'm looking for two people to be having a battle in the Citadel at that moment that Dan rushes into your room. We won't have to trade epicly long posts for an epicly long amount of time, Dan will lash out at the two of you through sheer annoyance, or something one of you says, for perhaps three or four volleys of posts, before he magnetically rips down a wall and continues on. So, if you an another person have been planning on having a battle, please, start it here. You can go ahead and continue it, if you'd like, in a seperate thread; I don't want to injure or kill either character, but make an Althanian "WTF?" moment.

What comes next, is Dan faces a single combatant, which, through sheer luck, is either the thief, or someone waiting on an opponent just as the NPC thief appears through the door, and Dan comes pounding in. This will be the longer fight. I'm either asking to recruit someone of a higher level, say, Five or above, though if a lower level would like to volunteer, I will rig up the fight with handicaps against Dan, of course.

So, to recap, what I want is:
[ ] Either a thief character, or a character interested in the properties of the hero's blood, who would be enough of a prick to snatch it. Not quite as important as the others.
[ ] A character of any level, to participate in a three sided, brief fight - which can be continued elsewhere, of course
[ ] Same as above
[ ] A character of lvl. 5 or higher
-or-
[ ] A character of a level lower than 5

I might be interested, to take the part of the thief, or of the 0-Level Char....

If you'd like... I have an ability that limits other people's overall level. It's in my character update. If you could use that to make the fighting fair for a lower than 5 character, I'd be game.

Hah. I have to admit to being a little tempted. Don't know if I could swing it, but I'm tempted.

Check out my character's profile and tell me if you think it'd fit in any way, shape, or form. And, if you're that particular, I've got my first post up in Scara Brae - you can take a peek and give me a "yay" or "nay". You check my character and tell me which role, if any, you'd like him to play.

Also - I like your style. Random, anger-fueled fits of massacre. Fun stuff.

Sorry about any wait you guys had, I was just sort of biding time and seeing who would come - also, googling cheap and effective ways to make bongs out of household materials. Gravities are getting too easy...

Anyway, I'm glad to see people volunterring for this sort of thing. I plan to have it judged as a quest rather than a battle, by the way.

For some reason, whenever I think "althanian thief", my dumbass blanks and can only come up with Yari. So, WitW, if there's anyway you could actually swing Aly into this, it'd be great. If you can't, though, Gordie, you'd work equally well for thief or for the brief three way fight.

Task, that'd work pretty well, really, I recall reading it in your profile. So, you'd fit into the role of the last fighter, if you're still up for it.

Mavek, I'm liking what you're doing so far in your SB thread. While I'd like to put you in the role of the last guy, you'd probably work better for the three way fight. Hope you work your way into Of My Flesh, by the way.

Oh, and thanks, the whole theme comes from listening to too much death metal and having mental diseases, lol.

Haha, death metal ftw. Yeah, just tell me when and where to post, and I'll join in.

My biggest concern isn't with getting to Dan, getting the thing, and getting to the Citadel...it's that after Aly has stolen the vial, she won't quit running. She isn't a combat character and wouldn't be able to withstand so much as one blow from him, much less him ripping her head from her body and doing grisly, grisly things to it.

Not to mention that if that were to happen and she died, the vial of blood would disappear and be gone forever...so is there a way we can work out that after/if he gets through Task, Aly surrenders the item (as per the rules of her game, as it says in her profile) and he doesn't kill her?

That works
