Plus, I can do magic, so neugh. I will give the gods some benefit, lightning is an interesting race.

EDIT: I know ice magic, buddy.

Yes and I know hey look my dragon spirit went throughthe ground and started gouging your eyes out mister I can't take a hit.
And I am excellent at taking hits mind you. Remember, I am a mortal with the physical prowess to take god surpassing speed on like it's nothing.
(I don't know why we are arguing. I was just trying to prove my little worth)

[The Wizard Who Did It]

We're arguing because we are all megalomaniacs that have to win whatever argument we get in.

Mainly, it's because I have two advantages, speed and magic. And really, last time I got shot in the wing and had to have Krylo take a hit for me because I couldn't move. I know Krylo was waiting for that as he wanted to take that Shapeshifter down with it's own medicin, but I wanted to be a pain in the ass and stick around.

EDIT: Don't demean your worth. Dragons are really nice and strong and all that stuff.

[PyrosNine]

I understand your worth Mestizo, cuz I just read Eragon and Eldest, I'm a big fan of Anne McAffrey, and I own the game Drakengard.

YAY DRAGONS!

[Incendius]

Dragonz Roxorz all. Seriously though, Dragons are supremely awesome, why do you think I chose a pyroclastic dragon as my (now ultimate) form to change into?

[Bailey]

pyroclastic?

you mean superheated volcanic ash flowing down a mountain after having been exploded into the air by steam?

[Incendius]

Yes basically.

Edit: I am the superheated, the ash is everything that was around me, and the steam is generated by my heat.

Here is what I would look like mostly

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

SIGH.

I go away for like.. 12 hours and NINE FREAKING PAGES?! Expect lots of angst.

AAAAND we're coming up against first is:

Name: Angry Cave Imps
Class: grunts
Appearance: agile cave-dwelling folk only 2’ in height. They are characteristically brown in colour and possess large eyes, extremely strong sharp teeth, slender but strong arms and very VERY sharp claws. They are normally seen wearing a dirty loincloth over their privates.
Abilities/weapons:
Dark-vision – the imps have exceptionally good vision in the dark. Hence, the first thing they normally do is put out any excess light that comes into their abode, plunging anything into utter darkness.
Large numbers – unlike other more solitary imps, once a cave imp has established a safe home, it will bring along its parents, it’s 30-40 siblings, it’s 100 or so cousins, grandparents, distant relatives and so on. Entering a cave imp’s home is harkened to suicide.
Weapons – cave imps use carefully selected rocks to pelt their enemies and sharpened sticks in close combat. They will always attack in dozens or more, and their main strength is in their overwhelming numbers. They will also use their strong teeth and claws to tear into their victim.


Name: Giant bats
Class: Sane
Appearance: Large, oversized carnivorous beasts that fly through the air on a wingspan of 2 metres. They are dark brown in colour, have a short snout, and extremely vicious fangs. Their wing claws are also sharp and their eyes and ears are large.
Abilities/weapons:
Flight – easily explained, these bats are hellishly hard to attack when they are flying.
Corrosive droppings – a self-defence mechanism that is also a way to bring down prey. Travelling in large flocks, the bats unleash a deadly hail of droppings so corrosive due to their carnivorous diet that it can literally eat through clothing, fur, and armour alike. The feeling of one such dropping on your skin is very much like a touch from the fires of hell, minus the actual fires and charring of flesh. Getting a dropping in your eyes/mouth, however, is akin to death.
Imp Rider – now and then, Giant Bats will pair up with Cave Imps to take down bigger prey. While the bats fly high overhead, the imps rain a barrage of sticks and stones down upon the victim.
Explosive bite – once a bat has got ahold of you, it can administer a bite so deadly that it will make you break out in fire. This is considered a kamikaze attack, as the bat isn’t quick enough to avoid the fire it creates.
Intelligence – Giant bats are more sentient than their primitive brethrens. Hence, they communicate in a more complex sort of language, and can plan attacks and such.

The intent is not so much as killing the lot of them, but charging straight through and hoping there isn't many of them in your way.

You think you had it bad, I just spent two hours reading all those posts and *right* when I was about to finish my own "firefox.exe encountered a problem and needed to close". But it's alright, they were sorry for the incovenience. ;_;
And ya, Sorry for the delay, I tried to make the post pretty big to make up for it...

[Arhra]

I think we might need a post limit per day. To prove my point, I conducted an analysis of the RP thread.

We've had 25 people post in the RP as of 95 posts. The highest number of posts were by Newb and Meztisio - 18 and 13 posts respectively. This is ludicrously high - it means a third of the thread's length was generated by two people. The next highest is Raiden and Pyros at 8 posts each. After then it drops to 6 (PyrosNine), 5 (The Wizard Who Did It) and all others posted four or less times.

I think a post limit of four posts per day might help cut down on this ridiculuous thread bloating. Or at least could the more active posters write fewer, long posts. Its annoying having to trawl through all these new posts.

I've got the full numbers in this attachment

[Melfice]

I second that statement Arhra.

I mean, before I made my third post, I had to read through two pages of 40 posts each, before I had a grasp of where we were, nor did I have a chance to join in on the bickering in the bathroom. (Although, I would have stayed out of it anyway, it would have been nice to be able to have a choice of being a part of it.)

Anyway, four posts per player? That sounds fine by me.
