Aww Cats, I'm so touched you care! Hehe. Remember- my character is loyal, not always honorable but loyal as hell. She's decided that Tobias is her charge and she'll keep him alive untill such a time as she's dismissed. Pay's not really the issue here, though it would be nice. Anyone who joins Tobias gets the same blanket coverage.
Healing and a bit of understanding when she turns furry under the dark moon is all she asks. Yup- no fullmoon stuff for her- she's different- the dark moon calls her fox form forth though she can fight it if she's changed recently or by just partly chaning, is ears, tail and a bit of fur on an otherwise human form.

Really? Tobias?
Huzzah for Tobias!
Well,...Tobias isn't exactly rich,.....
But he can heal! And cook! (Cooking, cleaning and such come with being an apprentice. Have to earn your education...)
And,.....ummm,......well, he has a little money left, I guess,...
Ohhh, blanket coverage? Nice.

Not that kind of blanket coverage! Well... maybe not that kind. Certainly not at the moment. That works.
As I said, payment can be talked about later- she's not above taking and selling the armor of those she's killed either. Ever practical and deadly are the Dancing Foxes. She can also dance or sing for her supper, one of the many trade skill she had to learn as a rouge/fighter child.
Not really a warrior, more of a lightly armored, fast little rouge right now. May upgrade her armor later if need be but am quite happy with the high-quality, magicaly enchanted stuff she's wearing now. It changes with her- concentrating into a collar and four anklets when in full fox form and back to normal armor in human/partial forms. So no, "Opps I changed now I'm naked" unless she wants it that way.

Awww.
Hey, if she's willing to dance for her supper, Tobias is willing to cook it!
And I meant the normal blanket coverage.
Not that the other kind isn't good too.
But I'm not expecting anything. It's just fun!

Tobias has much to learn before he's able to handle Vix in that capacity, LOL. May use it as a reward system... a kiss for a fire started or something random as that.
On another note- my I have a steed? Just thought of this- would be nice to have a giant fox, normal horse size to ride. A sister in arms of sorts. She is as Vix and Vix is as she. Briony, I think would be a suiting name. Like any large loyal canine- love Vix and while not aggressive to strangers is somewhat cold. Big red fox, knows not to eat horses (unless their lamed beyond mending) and can hunt for herself. Rather likes boars- so keep the orcs a'coming. Mmm... bacon....
Can carry up to three people, or two people plus Vix's gear- a tent, a pot and griddle, some food, a few herbs, small cauldron, change of leathers, dress cloths, and a dancing outfit among other things. Plus spare blades.

Geez..
Man do I feel out of place in this thread being only a over the hill adventurer whose gone to seed with drinking. I mean, we got aMagical figure, Fox-people, another shape-shifting being, Son of the old king, a fox steed, and other assorted magically or racially inhanced individuals. I mean, my guy has a staff and a bar stool for weapons. Oh well, I guess he needs to find a cache of hidden magical stuff or something he set aside in earlier days, but more likely its a cache of hidden good whiskey. I'll figure that out. But remember gang, we can't all have super beings or it's going to just be, "Let's march on the castle and lop of the Evil King's head." I mean, right now it looks like we could do that as soon as we leave the "Friendly Bed". Anyhow, just some thoughts, afterall this is supposed to be an adventure.

He's got a point
Darklord does have a very valid form. Tones down the steed- just a normal giant fox, animal intelligence, well trained. Rather like a trained battle horse with teeth.
Perhaps a quest for the boy's father's hidden armor first? As well as a, I don't know an accompanying sorcery book to bring in Tobias and Vix?
And Vix doesn't do well near gold.
I think we've had enough orcs, too. I thought there were only three- the two with Nanny Og. Now they're falling out of the rafters and just everywhere. Enough Orcs. Really. They're stinky anyway.
I think a round of introductions outside once its clear would be nice.
Poor Garad! Orcs, furry chicks in leather, a bumbling sorcerer and bounty hunters- after a full day's work!

Yeah, I noticed the overflow of orcs, too.
"How many were there? Ahhhh,...."
As for superpowered, Tobias only knows three spells. And every time he uses the one to call of flame, it always lights him on fire. (Doesn't have that much control...)
And Tobias doesn't need a spellbook. As soon as he, say, learns who the boy is, he'll follow along. Besides, he's already got two he can't use, what good is a third?

Well it's quite odvious to me, he lights him self on fire with spells now, if reads all of the third book, then odviously he could hurt himself that much more.
As for the super powerfull good guys, we have many of us aren't insanely powerful. And there is another way to combat that, orcs a a fantasy tradtion, they are always their but they are never the strongest villain, so rember the stronger the light the stronger the shadow.
okay, okay...
Okay, okay, I'm just being a crotchy old poster or something then.. Sheesh, a man speaks his mind and the next thing you know, someone lops your big toe off and only says "oops". Kidding gang. Anyhow, I think we would be best ssuited by perhaps having Garad maybe win over the few loyal nobles in the land to help us overthrow the vile and evil king? Or perhaps we need to go for outside assistance to do that, or even better, he has to fulfill certain prophetic passages to prove his worth to be the new king? Or maybe I need more to do at work than think things up.?.?

Damn all the orcs were killed off by GMs fire and they are still their for anotehr ten posts and then the fire kills them off again. Um, I didn't mean to be crazzy in my last post, but I didn't want my character not to have his sword in the future and once some one grabed Xeil I had no choice but to have him walk into the place.
Any how after reading that last section, I'd agree with dark lord, we are god moding a small amount, no ones doing it delibretely or excesively but, we do seem to be doing it still, and it'll be hard to have a good fight if we keep doing it.

On invincibility...and spelling...
I think what happened needed to happen, although i think people went about it the wrong way. Some characters are unnaturally good.
This needs to stop.
Everyone must have weakness or there will never be any threat. I understand this was the first fight and everyone was fight-testing their characters, but follow the givin amout of enemies and don't make your character's crazy good whenever they are challenged.
Shit, let em die! Death is good for the story!
Okay, that's the other extreme, and it sure doesn't need to happen this early (No emotional attachment to the character on the part of the reader yet). But anywho, this is generally how it goes.
The more weakness, the more drama, the more interest, the more fun.
Period.
Don't kill it by going invincible. We all know how tempting it is, but try to keep it contained.
Thanks everyone
Oh btw, if its at all possible, try to clean up the spelling. Lit is annoying for its lack of spell check, i know, but its god awful hard to read some of these posts. If anything, copy/paste over from a word processor.
Thanks again

Spelling
Ha you should of read my first posts back when I joined this site in the SRP area. My spelling was so much worse then what it is now, I think the only reason people put up with it is because my characters seemed real. Oh well my spelling has improved since then, but sadly I think the quility of my posts went way down with quantity.

Sorry
For most simple things I spell pretty well but get anything with more the four syllables (or three) and I start soundspelling without realizing it.
I do apologise for playing God- should have run that by Lateral first. *raises paw* No more crazy story twists unless authorised.

No more story twists? That'd be bad because those can be fun, unless they destroy a months worth of plot some one else has been building. I think we are just against the orcs becomeing a large group of cannon foder. But thats my opion otehr people may have difrent veiws.

Were you the one that did that? Oh well, impromtue or not it made a ggod twist because it puts every one in one spot got rid off all 132 orcs, and gives us a reason to leave town togeather. This twist could likely pull this group togeatehr and allow us to get more organised.
But your right, prehaps Lat should of been for warned, still it's done, don't waste to much time regreting it.

Okay,.....let's see,....
I never killed any orcs with my fire. When I first used the spell, I said he threw it at any orcs he could see. Notice: I never said he saw any orcs. So, it seems, he just set himself and the Inn on fire.
A terrible tragedy, but, oh well.
And yes, weakness is fun. That's why my character is damn near useless. About all he's good for is healing. And look, he's already wasted his MP. lol
As for spelling. There's a thread here in the ORP 'For Those of us who need a spelling buddy'.
If it's compatible, I highly recomend it. Added a spellchecker to my internet, but I use explorer, so,...

My mistake, I read in here some one got rid of all the extra Orcs. So when I read the story and you said "All the Orcs I could see." I must of assume you got rid of all the orcs wich is why I was suprised a bit latter when some one seemly brought the orcs back.
Oh well you must admit GM, it's not really important at this point. The story is fun and thats all that I really care about, but it is always a bonus to be able to go back and read it again and say damn this was really good.
Presonally I feel an evil villain is alot more fun if they have some reason to be evil. Even something like vengence makes a character seem so much more real. And when you have some one who starts a war for vengence against just one unimportant soldeir he seems really real.
