So... 16 Knights left, 23 Zubats left?

plus two of them are distracted by my imminent death

Be aware that whatever knights you guys leave are going to be obliterated of the face of the planet. If you have any pity, you should probably go easy on them and kill them fast. Then again, they are probably trying to eat your spleens, so...

Whatever. I'm getting ready to put together a MASSIVE curbstomping for anything that is still moving. I expect some more WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN... from you guys.

Happy to hear that! :D

Anyway Kariese is next. But I guess she's not here now, current count:
14 knights and 22 zubats free. plus 2 knights and 1 zubat about to murder our resident cow throwing Rincewind (that actually knows more than one spell! yay!)

Edited the count to include the zubat at Guyshane.

Better than being on a campus tour all day... SO MANY FREAKING STAIRS..... T_T I seriously think they went out of their way to take us on EVERY SINGLE STAIRCASE. It's like "OK, here we are on floor one of a three story sub-building, so first we go to the third floor, cross the floor and go down to the second, now cross that and loop back up to the third, then back to the first, then the second, then the first, and now all the way up to the third again!"

It's going super. I'm having a great time.

By the way, I'll just say this again, I'd love it if you guys could leave me at least two Zubats and a couple knights. I'm going to start working early on my post so you don't have to wait for me to build a wall of text, then make modifications based on what you guys do and what you leave me.

Since we're back in the normal order... That's mostly up to your brother and never, actually. The rest of us probably won't be able to/try to kill everything... If not for these two you probably would have at least 10 zubats. :lol:

You guys would prefer a joke plot or a more serious one? (Either way, I suck at making jokes, so instead of fun it may be stupid. Be warned.)

Actually, I'm still ahead of never for now till we do some time scrambling. Otherwise he would get two goes at the mooks before I could move. Maybe it is better this way, though, since my brother and I can plan out sequenced posts... IDK. Opinions?

So you are saying have a serious plot but let the players make the lols? It seems like a solid idea.

Totally fine with me. I won't be making any lulz though, aside from the humor resulting from the juxtaposition of Sabrac's extreme Stoic tendencies and the rest of you and your ridiculousness. *cough*cowincident*cough*

I thought we were only swapping for one round, but since you wouldn't get a go at the mooks, you can go ahead for one more round.

That's what I was intending, but after I moved, I realized that the time scrambling involved made it so that the order became important. Basically, because I started going into a new section of time before everyone else, I essentially accidentally became the first in the post order, time wise. However, after I convinced the GM's to post the mooks when they did, I just passed that place on to YOU, so for all intents and purposes, you are now first. After a turn or two, we can then cast that on to the next person, and then the next, and the next, on until it gets back to me again. Sometime in the middle, when the first and last places are taken by other people, you and I can switch back, or, if we want, we can stay this way. (I'm actually thinking that would be nice, since I can work together with my brother for the initiative pass off and do epic stuff like with my entrance, but the spot is yours, so it's your call) This way every one gets their own chance to lead the plot. Sound fair?

Sure, as long as you and your brother don't team up on us all.

It's a plot based thing, so there will be a minimum of blowing other players up. Also, we would be more likely to blow EACH OTHER up anyway...

Oh... It won't be any fun if they actually work together... The posts would be hideously short: Marsisa spellcards you. Sabrac joins and (giant) fireballs with self-worsening wounds. Your're dead.

That's not going to happen. Sabrac is not a team player at all.

Most likely they'll be clashing with each other and we'll have to deal with the actual plot issues. :lol:

A great read as always, Isla! I'm going to start working on mine now. Let's see, I think there is Finch, and then... Victin? And then Xana closes it off and it goes back to my brother?
