The assault on the Goblins of lower.

Dash

Guys, sweet ideas, but seriously, except for Ommadawn, you're not giving me the information I need. I wasn't around for most of the original efu. I was there for Tooth's rebellion and that's about it. If you say "The assault on the Goblins of lower" or "Revealing Sheriff Azzim was enthralled" or anything that is just a few words, I have no idea what that means! I need characters, plot, some kind of background info.

I can't tell the whole story of Sanctuary obviously, I could tell the founding maybe if I knew what actually happened! Or I could tell short snips of your characters lives, if one of you did something awesome, or had a great villain and came head to head, things like that. Tell me about your favorite characters, guys, and what they did and why they were so cool!

I don't want huge server wide events like "Red Elient" here, I want a short story with cool characters that I can tell in only 16 pages. That is all, please bring forth the ideas.

derfo

please make a story about scumbar i will give you needed details via irc if desired. it will be an epic tale of humor drama and destruction

Calculor

You need to illustrate the journey of BONES.

Kotenku

you should make a manga about this thread.

Quote from: Dash;132686Guys, here is what I need:


Quote from: GuysHere is some shit that isn't helpful

Jasede

Quote from: lovethesuit;132523Do a yaoi doujin about Howland and myself.

And send me a copy.
Kururokku-kun & Dakarai-senpai shonen-ai for me plz.


edit: on a less serious note, how about "The adventures of Uncle Worn, the Goblin who killed 30 level 5 characters at level 3 while logged out with only a dagger and a scroll of grease & their trusty Eyeball friend in the Pyrimo."

Howlando

The fact that no one really seems to be taking this seriously and isn't contributing is both shocking and disappointing.

Dash is offering to make something awesome and hardly anyone seems interested in helping.

Kotenku

To help the retarded, here are the logs of what I suggested to Dash. Note that I was being completely self-serving and only telling a story from one of my own characters. That's -okay-, here, this isn't Roleplayer Recognition so much as "holy fucking shit, dude, you should illustrate and publish the best scene that happened to my favorite character, HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY IT'S AWESOME."

Quote okay- get this:
yea?
a lawman is out on patrol, and returns to HQ to find the exploded bits of a child decorating the front hallway-
he was sent with a promise that the vest of explosives he was given would summon a clown named bungo to caper for his birthday-
lol
some questions are asked, and the name of the villain is learned - Dimes. The lawman is mad. loses his mind over it, and stalks to the rough side of town as his compatriots tug at his sleeves, yelling: no! No, it isn't worth it!
He arrives in the slums where the villain is laughing about the handiwork with his boys, the lawman froths at the mouth, outraged at the inhumanity - he calls the thug out, demands justice-
And the lawman is butchered in an instant, as a crowd of outraged spectators look on-
did this happen to you >.>
cut away, to the final page of the manga- and the thug's head is on a pike, and justice served.

it took me 4 minutes to type this in IRC, and provided a complete short story arc that is actually partially workable except for certain problems (children exploding is not really okay, apparently.)

Vlaid

I wasn't around for the founding of Sanctuary, all the information I know about it stems from reading the website, both the new and old ones.

In fact, the DM's themselves would likely have the best information about various cool stories and ALL the awesome parts to give to you. Especially such events as the founding of Sanctuary, which many of us weren't around for.

Us players rarely get to see the complete story unfold from more than one perspective, which isn't a very good angle for storytelling.

Ommadawn

Go with the Spellguard story, Dash. Do it. It's an amazing piece, and doesn't need any real explaining to be an interesting tale.

Do it.

Howlando

Just for the record my suggestions for Dash were -

- The Decline and Fall of Sanctuary

- Alexander Archibald's Last Speech

- The Rivalry between Phandiates and Intryzz

- Frederick Bresley's  journey to the surface

- The Isle of Vhuln and the terrible discoveries made therein

- The assassination of Matron Mother Jhael'nyir

- The ascension of Temrariel, the Slime Lich

- The Rise and Fall of the Tigereyes

- The tragic saga of Sheriff Eugene Walters

- The Rise and Fall of Demetrius Bhast

- Zovaldar, the Fire Giant Mummy

- The enthrallment of Etorix

- The sinister deeds of Rhalix Ghail, Reduskan Perduskan Loxitan the Elder, and the Red Skulls

- The War With Sslal'teesh

- The Death of Finder Wyvernspur and Rebirth of Moander

- Adventures in the Machine of Dunwarren

- The Coming of the Tribe of the Blade

I also provided some examples of interesting PC villains/factions. And could have easily kept going!

Broken Crockery

The final death of the tigereyes -- Howland can tell you more but the scene is a tense accusation, standoff over lt tyderious's role in the fall of the tigereyes + betrayel of the captain, then a sweet fight where terio menthur proves victorious, leaves the tigereyes to tane and escapes to surface with babe in arm. Get details + characters from howland but I am convinced it would be a tremendous single chapter. Gotta run!

Broken Crockery

Goos Characters are: Terio - older suave moustached warrior and bard, Daniel Tane - young charismatic fighter with bastard sword, Mordor - Duergar fighter, Juline - eyepatched former quartermaster now forced to serve drinks too...

Villians: Lt Tiderious - half-drow fallen into decadence and drunkeness after betraying the tigereyes and collecting the bounty on them, surly drunken former tiger-eye betayers about 10 of these

The scene starts with the good three Terio, Tane, Mordur, donning the tigereye uniform and compng out of hiding in the back alleys of lower, and marching to the bar where Tidellious has taken up residence. People bolt their doors and run in fear.

The three survey the disgraceful unkempt lot that the betrayers have become march into the basement and have a tense standoff with the LT before he admits to his part on the betrayel.

Wild fight. Terio kills Lt. They find evidence of betrayel.

They walk up, flash LTs head, and Terio declares Tane the new Captain of the Tigereyes, scoops up Juline, and marches off into the darkness.

Snoteye

I always liked Sheriff Hennet's fall but 16 pages might not be enough for that. Also, Melinda Bresley's death and the immediate consequences.
