samurai-turtle Posted July 23, 2015 I guess I will take H7 (Knight). If I am getting the rules right. Is their some sort of reward if we make it to the other side (like in checkers or if we were a Pawn). Could not help but think it would be easier to take "Elves" head on than sneak around and try to kill them. Quietly telling the others. Dibs on any weapons I can use (or armor). OoC: I equipped my Fine Boots. OoC: I think they are called "Nice Boots". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KotZ Posted July 23, 2015 Mhinak whispers back "Should I show them the badge and tell them the guardians sent us?" "If you think it won't piss them off," she replies. "If diplomacy seems to go south, I'll step in." She returns her attention to the Star Elves. "Allow me to continue. I am leading this current party. Mhinak is serving as the ambassador of our group, and Bobby... he's well... Bobby." She shoots Bobby a casual finger point, hoping the Star Elves would at least think the party was less of a threat than they probably were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzalirk Posted July 23, 2015 Mhinak steps forward and unveils the badge from under his beard "The name is Mhinak and I was chosen by the guardians of this forest for a specific task. These are colleagues who are to help me. Please step aside and let us complete our quest." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purpearljellyblob Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) If I am getting the rules right. Is their some sort of reward if we make it to the other side (like in checkers or if we were a Pawn). This is neither checkers nor Pawn is offered as a piece. Crouching behind a dirty rock in what felt like a barren, lifeless wasteland, Miderun hardly felt more at home. "This'll be good...haven't gotten to use my hunting skills in very long. These girmyro will not know what hit them, until I break cover and use my club. Then they will know." "Miderun, my vision isn't the best, I would need your assistance to fully navigate around." Quietly telling the others. Dibs on any weapons I can use (or armor). "You wouldn't want their stinking armour" whispers Bain. Bain then draws her Sange and assumes a predatory stance, almost hissing with rage at the incoming Star Elves. "Watch and learn, Heroes." Red streaks begin to slowly creep around the blade as she prepares to pounce. Heroes start first! Make your move! THE CHECKERED CROSSING Objective: To successfully eliminate all the Star Elves.Rules: Each grid on Row H (1-8) has its own style and range of movement according to the "International Chess". All members of the party must make their first move on Row H and members of the same party cannot occupy the same spot. After making the first move, the Star Elves will assume their positions on Row A and the game starts. Players can either move to an unoccupied square or one occupied by an opponent's piece, which is captured and removed from play. Players alternatively move one PC per turn. Movement of PC must state current position and the position the players intend to move into (i.e. H2 to F3 for example). Miderun has control over Naîm until he returns. Bain and Elnath takes suggestions. ----- "I am Kiray Nastayo. This is Bobby and Mhinak. With whom am I speaking?" "Sounds good to me, yo," whispers back Bobby. He tries a friendly wave at the Star Elves. "If you think it won't piss them off," she replies. "If diplomacy seems to go south, I'll step in." She returns her attention to the Star Elves. "Allow me to continue. I am leading this current party. Mhinak is serving as the ambassador of our group, and Bobby... he's well... Bobby." She shoots Bobby a casual finger point, hoping the Star Elves would at least think the party was less of a threat than they probably were. The guard inspects the area, especially amongst the dead corpses and the blade markings on the trunk and footprints on the soil. He turns back to the Heroes, voice remaining firm, seemingly unaffected by the antics that the party tries to pull, "This is a restricted area. In fact, I suspect that you lot are involved in this. The whole lot of you are detained for conspiring with a wanted criminal." Mhinak steps forward and unveils the badge from under his beard "The name is Mhinak and I was chosen by the guardians of this forest for a specific task. These are colleagues who are to help me. Please step aside and let us complete our quest." Seeing the badge, the Star Elf's tighten, and the guards move closer, "I do not care what task you have with the Guardians, but it seems like you are the right person to tell me... What happened here, Guardian Ambassador? Where is the Fenarian scum?" Edited July 24, 2015 by Purpearljellyblob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) "You wouldn't want their stinking armour" whispers Bain. Heroes start first! Make your move! I can always get rid of the "stink". He whispers back at her. H7 to F6 Should Elnath move to G2? And Bain moving to G7? Suggesting to Miderun. OoC: Is the "flag guy" a king or a queen?

samurai-turtle Posted July 24, 2015 OoC: OK (King). I just want to make sure of his movement, it helps with the planing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purpearljellyblob Posted July 24, 2015 H7 to F6 OoC: OK (King). I just want to make sure of his movement, it helps with the planing. If I am not clear enough, only one Hero can move per turn, similar to Chess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted July 24, 2015 OoC: OK now you are confusing me do I have to say "start at H7 moves to F6". And I thought it was our turn to move. The other were just suggestions for the other guys. I guess I am just trying to play it safe here, for the record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you guys need to decide amongst yourselves which one Hero will make the move against the Star Elves. Happy to clarify any more questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy to clarify any more questions. OoC: Now I get it. I was thinking all pieces get one move, not one side get one move. i think this might be better in a PM session.

That way you can put me (samuraiturtle), Enceladus, and purpearljellyblob in the PM chain since you have the most post. I do not think I could put every one in the PM chain if I tried it.

Yzalirk Posted July 24, 2015 Mhinak responds to the Star Elf. "I'm going to ask again that you step aside. You are interfering with a special quest the guardians assigned us to do. If you deny us passage, you must answer to the guardians. We are to collect a Brown Nekrastone that'll restore life to this forest. Do you think they'll expunge your doings if the forest dies because you wouldn't let us through? Now let us through." Mhinak whispers to the group. "I don't think full honesty applies here but if you guys deem it necessary, speak up." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KotZ Posted July 24, 2015 "Covering up or hiding a little truths is fine," Kiray responds. "Just try not to put us in bad situations where our loyalties get divided.

Purpearljellyblob Posted July 24, 2015 THE CHECKERED CROSSING Naîm opens a direct path to the Star Elf guard, who then decides to move closer to his group realising he is isolated alone in the dark. Heroes turn! Make your move! Round 1 Heroes: H1 to H2 Star Elves: A2 to B4 Mhinak responds to the Star Elf. "I'm going to ask again that you step aside. You are interfering with a special quest the guardians assigned us to do. If you deny us passage, you must answer to the guardians. We are to collect a Brown Nekrastone that'll restore life to this forest. Do you think they'll expunge your doings if the forest dies because you wouldn't let us through? Now let us through." One of the other guards speaks, "I do not care what business you have with the Guardians. We have been alerted of the theft of the Brown Nekrastone by the weresnakes lead by their leader, who is a Naga. They have been lurking around these parts for a few years, committing petty crimes. Now they have really crossed the line. We are not here to track down the stone, we have been assigned to pick up the Fenarian scum that has been caught stealing in allied territories and trespassing Star Elven territories and escort her to the asylum for further questioning. But we cannot let you through unless we know what is going on here." "You have not answered my question, dwarf." "Covering up or hiding a little truths is fine," Kiray responds. "Just try not to put us in bad situations where our loyalties get divided. We have a job to do and can't get distracted." "I would like for you to name who this wanted criminal is," the black knight says to the elf. "Bain Ga, Female Fenarian, for crimes of theft, trespassing, vandalism, animal cruelty, possession of illegal weapons, antisocial behaviour." The guard eyes Kiray's katana, "Mind explaining what were you doing with your katana in these parts? And why is this Venistrap plant here is all dead and sliced up? Along with all the dead dryads and spiders, which were supposed to keep an eye on the Fenarian scum until we arrive to hand her over?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzalirk Posted July 25, 2015 "I don't recall seeing this Bain Ga character but if we do, we'll sure do our best to detain her. About the plant and the look of this area, she probably escaped with a dagger and killed the Venistrap that attacked her while escaping. That would be my guess."
