Heroes come in all shapes and sizes (OOC)

[wombat9966]

Hi milkmaiden38 and crew.

I have just been reading over your story and I have found it great. I have noticed however that a few of the writers have had to drop out and you have had to pull double duty for a little while. I would like to offer both my services and a character that you seem to have been missing in your story.

Draxx Sawtooth

Lizardman
Height: 7ft 3inches tall
Colouring: Light blue and Dark Purple scales
Eye colour: Bright red

Draxx is a young lizardman out having some fun before he has to return to the hidden Temples in the Swamps and begin his grueling training to become a Temple guardian.
Already highly trained in the use of sword,axe,mace and hammer his preferred weapon is the mighty serrated edged warhammer, hence his name.

Draxx likes nothing more than a good fight and travels towards places most people are fleeing from. His scaly hide is better protection than most armors, and his prodigious strength make him a mighty warrior.

Draxx's main problem is he is too trusting and takes people at their word. He is an honest warrior wanting to do nothing more than to fight,eat,drink, maybe whore around a bit,sleep and then do it all again. He doesn't understand other races need to lie and is often swindled by them and made fun of. Of course once he finds out that person soon dies and the cheating usually stops.

Hi everyone,
Happy New Year!!

Oh … and the big battle scene is coming up.

Here is my suggested timeline (open to better suggestion!!):
- Garliks arrive early. OOPS! Wombat9966 will need to write about how he'll get the folks into the correct spider holes.

- Bad guys give "we are going to kick your ass speech ... Good guys tell them to go fuck themselves …

- Bad guys attack ... (fire lines tripped and few other little surprises … please have fun here and kick some ass!). The first waves of Garliks … pretty much destroyed …

- Bad guys ... send in the big stuff ... enhanced Mesoblubron and something new.

Sector commanders ... fight to hold on (With the city broken up into defensive sector ... each writer can have a sector to write about if they wish … please let me know if you wish to write for Allontree, Devon's family, Col Yebrs):
Wombat is going to cover the fire lighters (I can help with Tina, Prrip and Wind) ...

Deathsknight will cover the Devon section

I'll cover whatever is not covered (Allontree, Devon's family, Col Yebrs)

Isca, Megan and the Dragons arrive. When this happens ... Megan will be able to weaken the Mesoblubrons ... your characters will need to kill them.

Gragathor, Father Dragon, will take on the new monster ...

As these conclude the demonlords will throw all reserve units at the city ... Maut will arrive with the undead army ... more butt kicking … and victory!

This will be the big final battle of this story thread ... please don’t kill off my baddies too quickly … need your characters to take some damage (broken weapons …. depleted spells … damaged armor … Nefer’s get her tail pulled … etc). During the battle there may be a chance to resolve character weak points … life decisions … etc.

Looking for feedback …?? Everyone ok with this approach?? Please PM me or post here on the OOC thread. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
Slight change of plan ... deathsknight killed off my new monster! (Not his fault … I did not tell him the Hoak was my new monster. Oops)

So I’m going to have a demonlord show up and fight Maut directly. That should be fun!

Isca, Megan and the Dragons will arrive … I will have another new monster show up called a Kaoh (hoak spelled backwards!) … please don’t kill it off … that will be Father Dragon’s job.

Megan will be able to weaken the Mesoblubrons ... your characters will need to kill them.

Mesoblubrons #1 on battle tower (Isola, Megan, Zarik, etc)
Mesoblubrons #2 Draxx, Tina, Prrip
Mesoblubrons #3 Devon
Mesoblubrons #4 Princess Allonetree and Col Yebrs
Mesoblubrons #5 Isca and Venar-surr

everyone good with this plan?

 

[DeathsKnight]

Sorry!

I thought of the creature like one I have read about in a Dean Koontz book. Didn't know it was your mack-daddy deal thingy

I have a special surprice for the Mesulbulbron once it's vulnerable

 

[milkmaiden38]

Hi,
Sorry for all the posts ... but i think everyone is where they need to be.

Have at the baddies ... Megan will break the code and make them vulnerable after all of you ... bat them around a bit!

Do you like the music?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

As you can see this "heroes" thread is wrapping up. This is a good time to write your final "and they lived happily ever after" posts.

I want to thank everyone that helped write this thread. You did an awesome job. I think it is pretty fun to read! Thanks.

FYI, My thoughts are to start up a new thread with totally new characters in a different part of this world.

The story plots are loosely connected. When the demonlords opened the "dark" passages to send the Garliks across the river ... they opened 4 other throughout the world. The Garliks attack different cultures and peoples.

So the new thread will start shortly before the arrival of the garliks ...and run through ... to their defeat and the closing of just one of there dark tunnels.

If you wish to be part of this new thread let me know ... and provide ideas to shape it. I have not picked the place, beings, or developed a more detailed plot line yet. So everything is wide open.

Thanks
Linda

 

[wombat9966]

i would be in on that. just let me Know when you put up the oc and I would love to get in at the beginning of the thread this time.

MM is Princess Allontree in Heroes the same as Lady Allontree in the Glaive? If she is can the Glaive set of characters cross over into Heroes II?

 

[Iscaa]

Hi everyone;
I just want to say I had a lot of fun in this story, and have now written my end part. Thank you Linda
for letting me be a part of your rich and wonderful story. I has been a pleasure writing with you all.
Many hugs
Kari...aka...Isca

Well then, awaiting Zarik and the king's reply to Maut, I will wait for that and then give Devon's final part.

I have an idea for a tank character if I am allowed in the second thread, think barbarian berserker and you have an idea of what I want to do.

Also what is the chances of making Maut a recurring character? Just less prominent as in the first thread, I would love for him to be in the last thread, the final battle against the demons...

Oh and also, how would Isola feel about a battered, bloodied and dirty Devon going to his knee in front of everybody? Just curious

 

[milkmaiden38]

the one knee idea sounds good to me!

All characters will be involved in the final battle and can be part of the next thread if it make sense. (i.e. they need to be able to get there)

Berserker sounds awesome ... i'll be posting suggested race/city types soon. But i'm totally open to suggestions. Looking for more writers ... that are commited ... and willing to stick it out.

Thanks

Basic Story line is … a portal opens up in a major city … caught by surprise the city's defenses are wiped out … heroes fight against the garliks … but there is no way they can win. Heroes can meet each other (or not) in the city … but for sure as they leave the city they find each other. A resistant movement is started. Magic items recovered and/or additional allies are found and city is retaken … the portal is closed.

Possible Races/city types are listed below:

Draconian City
As explained before … In an earlier age the forces of magic were far beyond current ability. Some mages were powerful enough to created whole new species and creatures by using the magical arts. Creatures like the hippogryffs, gryphons, manticores, and others were created.

The demonlords, bent on world control, created smaller demons whose sole propose was to kill off all dragons. They could not attack full grown dragons … but these creatures were skilled at attacking the eggs and especially the younger dragons. There was no regard by the demonlords to killing off a whole race (like the intelligent dragons ... later the demonlords would pursue the path of killing off all life … but at this point in time they only wanted to remove the strongest life form) The dragons fought back … but there were tunnels and places dragons could not get too … and even dragons needed to sleep … So the dragon race was in trouble.

One of the powerful mage of that age decided to help … he used powerful magic to create a new breed of creatures that could find and kill these demon creatures … and this race could also protect dragon eggs and young dragons. These creatures were called Draconians!! Soon all the demons like creatures had been destroyed by these powerful creatures ... who were willing to serve dragons.

Half dragon/half human, Draconians share many of the same positive and negatives as their dragon and human counter parts. For this reason, Humans and draconian often join together in alliances. Draconians come in different shapes and sizes like dragons (red draconians … white … etc).

After the first fight against the demonlords … the draconians built cities and established a kingdom. This land is far away from Kingdom of Palamar. However the demonlords open up a portal to wipe out this race. Hero characters can be any races … but the most common in this city are human and draconian.

Basic outline below:

Stage 1: Hide, survive, and start acquiring resistance items (weapons, information, etc). (Characters will be getting their asses kicked at this stage …) Stage 2: Start making a difference … more support … more effective raids … etc. (Bad guys notice … lay traps for them, etc) Stage 3: Open rebellion with slaves being released … or other attacks (killing the city leader … etc) Characters takeover the city … but will need to hold it against a second garlik attack … stuff like that.

Halflings
Halflings are simple and peaceful race. They not adventurers or fighters … they run business and focus on prosperity. Some are farmers, or eccentric pranksters, or others celebrant drunkards. Halflings are extraordinary cooks, and eat well. They enjoy music, and telling stories. Halflings are also friends with Eagles.

In this story … the demonlords have opened up a portal to wipe out this race. Hero characters can be any races they like … but the most common in this city are halflings, centaurs, Eagle riding halflings, humans and maybe elves.

Basic outline below:
Same as last one … but a lot of effort will need to be done to turn the halflings into real fighters. Perhaps … more focus on sabotage … or building weapons to defeat the garliks (a Halfling tank?) stuff like that. Characters takeover the city again … but will need to hold it against a second garlik attack … or something like that.


Tigrans
This race is a mix between a tiger (but others cats also like lions, panthers, etc and a human). They are powerful warriors that employ the powers of the great cats to stalk their foes. Their homes are great structures of sandstone, which blend into the desert sands. Tigrans are expert spies, and relish the enemy that underestimates their capability. Some of the warriors ride atop great tigers when going into battle.

In this story … the demonlords have opened up a portal to wipe out this race. Hero characters can be any races they like … but the most common in this city are Tigrans, centaurs, and humans.

Outline on this one … goes… Heroes establish an awesome hideout … next heroes go out of they're way to taunt the Garliks … make Garliks SCARED of the heroes … (Garlik will punish innocents here … ) Recruit more people … heroes capture a nearby town … turning it into a resistance town. Finally, raid against the leaders of the city … retake city … but will need to hold it against a second recapture attempt by the garliks ...


These are just some suggestions ... they can be mixed and matched ... looking for your thoughts!
