Blasphemy. Lies. Baseless slander.

I resent that! Slander is spoken. Written it's libel.
You all have fun in the Fire faction why I take over made the military as captain of the guard in Ko-Koro.

I can't wait to play the character I've been designing she's going to be great.

I wouldn't mind being the Ta or Po koro general/captain of the guard.

Before I post Episode Eight: how do we all feel about part of Episode Nine (and very likely the vast majority of it - in Tesara) being done here, in the topic, where we can all see it without awkwardly splitting into two or even three PMs? It's going to be chaotic, but I view having it in this topic the best solution do this because, well, this is the game's topic.

More than half the players in the game are/will be in Tesara at the start of Episode Nine - and generally anyone else not in Tesara is in their village, doing things not really concerning another player.  It's roughly about two-thirds of the living players as well... hence why I wanted to do this. 

 

As for an epilogue, maybe.

Either host it here or open a new RPG topic just for it. If we are going to do it here, then once the last real episode begins (in case of an epilogue) then we adopt the IC and OOC format just like in the PM game sessions.

Confession here: I didn't bother to test my joke code from last night (go figure)-- that is, until just now

 

Long story short, when it's overwriting "woofString" it should begin the substring at the index 3 greater than that of the "woof" being erased. Otherwise it's not removing the current "woof", and will count an infinite number of "woof"s in an infinite while loop. Index + 3 allows it to erase most of the "woof". Index + 4 would erase the entire "woof" but would cause an indexing error if the string being parsed ends exactly in a "woof". Weird solution, but considering that the alternative is writing actually good code, it's a measure we have to take

 

I've edited the code sample posted, and I just want you all to know that I feel really bad for not getting it right the first time

EPISODE EIGHT

THE TRIBES TOGETHER

 

NOTES:

-The dream is spreading well.

-Are we all ready for the final showdown?

-All the shards are in the same place.

-The tools exist to repair the Mask of Life.

-All the Skrall are in the same place.

-Almost all players are in the same place.

-Get yourself prepared: Because most of you are in Tesara, we’re doing something special for Episode Nine! (And also because PMs cannot fit more than 10 people, including ourselves, and there are 11 players in Tesara right now…)

-That’s right: we’re doing Episode Nine’s Tesara section LIVE, very soon now, here, with you, IN THE TOPIC - this is likely going to go by quickly, so don’t miss it!

-So if you have any really important moves to make, MAKE THEM!

EPISODE NINE BEGINS SOON!

THIS! WILL! BE! THE FINAL PROPER EPISODE!

(somebody please make a post so I can post the start of Episode Nine, also there might be an epilogue episode but don't hold your breath because it will likely be very short)

EPISODE NINE

NO PLACE FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

 

-TESARA-

-All-

IC: Timelord (All); Andekas (All); Lan (All); Hyethut (All); FF (All); Smoke Monster (All); Quin (All); Voltex (All); Nato (All); Terrorsaur (All); Toru (All); Tuma (All)


Clouds of yellow powder, thrown by General Hyethut of Tesara as he yelled 'GRAPES!' followed by a cacophony of the same word from the Agori soldiers present at Tesara, floated through the front lines of the Skrall forces, met with a severe sputtering, followed by the sight of many of the Skrall at the northern gate of Tesara vomiting, creating a revolting slurry soon home to the corpses of said vomiting Skrall, slowly burning in the ever-growing flame starting to consume Tesara as per the orders of Tuma.


Two Agori had appeared amidst Tesara - seemingly out of nowhere, one carrying a bag, a bag glowing brightly, only matched in luminosity by the item - the Shard - within the chest the small force of Quin carried with him, him and his forces standing outside Tesara’s southern gate.


The vast majority of Vulcanus’ forces were within Tesara - on the other side of the Skrall at the southern gate - but while the forces with Quin were small, they were no longer alonge. A force of one-hundred and seventy five Water Agori and fifty-five Ice Agori, led by Terrorsaur and accompanied by Toru and two Jungle Agori in a Thornatus and a Baranus respectively, had become visible, approaching Tesara.


Tesara is burning, under a siege by the Skrall, while representatives of every tribe visited, and the Mask of Life wanted itself reforged.


Tesara, right now, was no place for the faint of heart.

IC: Voltex

 

I sigh, shaking my head wearily, knowing Nato is almost certainly feeling the same way.

 

"Perhaps your new master can make it up to us for destroying my tribe so long ago, and help us retrieve that final shard without either of us getting killed," I say. "I don't fancy our chances against Vulcanus forces if they refuse to hand us the final shard... and I don't wish to risk trusting them to hold onto them, either."

IC: Toa Smoke Monster

 

Since I'm still on top of a building, I glance around for both Tuma's location and look for possibly safe exits out of Tesara in case they are needed for players and villagers to escape. I request RNG rolls of Intelligence and Luck to help with this.

 

OOC: Question. Is the building I'm on top of on fire yet?

Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

IC: Nato - The End.

 

"About my... master..." the word tastes unpleasant in my mouth, "...they spoke to me again in that cavern. They want the Mask completed, they said they'll stop it from killing anyone when its reformed. They said the Mask will be them." I hesitate, feeling a creeping fear within as I ponder the consequences of my next words, "So... if you don't trust me - if you don't trust the being behind the dream - then when all of this is over, however it ends, don't take the shards back to Ionia. Keep them secret, keep them safe, and keep them separate."

IC: Voltex

 

I think back to Surel, back in his cave, and how he had intended to destroy the shards. I had refused him then, for even then, the quest had itched at me, like an addiction.

 

The Mask of Life had broken once, and it could be broken again.

 

"I trust you, Nato," I say, filled with determination. "I will finish this quest, and your master will help us. I will finally meet the being responsible for my tribe's ruin... and perhaps we can come to an accord. Your master may have been the catalyst, but it was the tribes of Bara-Magna who turned us away and forced us into exile. They must pay the price for their crimes."

 

And once I have what I want, I will destroy the mask, if I can. Another gamble, but I am still without anything to lose.

 

"Dream, Nato," I say. "Dream of our success."

Smoke Monster: Find exits & Find Tuma: Intelligence: 6 + 10 = 16; Luck: 6 + 10 = 16 (average: 16)

 

Smoke Monster, glancing around the area, spots Tuma heading around the palisade walls of Tesara, likely going to the southern gates of Tesara. Along these palisade walls, there are watchtowers every so often - perhaps, given that the wall is made of wood, exits and entrances could be forcibly created within these watchtowers as long as they don't burn. 

 

---

 

Tuma is heading to the southern gates of Tesara. He has left the Skrall at the northern gates to fight and block any who try to flee Tesara.

 

Needless to say, he is very angry. Thornax fired earlier are beginning to land upon Tesara's forces, buildings, and civilians, and with the fire spreading, panic is rising.

IC: Nato - Dream Mode Activated.

 

For a moment, I take Voltex's words as little more than a joke. But then I remember Dalu, the Agori whose sword I now hold. The way they spoke into my mind in that cave, their voice an extension of the dream. If I'd somehow managed to infect Dalu during the brief time I'd been with her, then... perhaps some of the Skrall who'd been escorting me to Roxtus were infected as well. Perhaps the Agori fighting and dying around me were becoming part of the dream as I watched. Perhaps we had some allies in this fight. 

 

Clear us a path to the shard. I 'think' as hard as I can, hoping that someone, something, is still listening, For the dream! Maybe I'll get lucky, and cross paths with Tuma along the way. There's a great many things I want to say to him before this ends.

FF: Moment of Opportunity: Intelligence: 6 + 5 = 11; Luck: 6 + 10 = 16 (Average: 14, rounded up from 13.5)

 

Smoke Monster: Snipe Tuma: Strength: 7 + 8 = 15; Luck: 6 + 2 = 8 (Average: 12, rounded up from 11.5)

 

---

 

FF, still in his own fight against Branar - who was trying to block the 'secret entrance/exit', quickly observes that Branar is momentarily distracted by odd behaviour from a few of the Skrall he led. Likewise, there is some odd behaviour from some of the troops you lead, but they are still fighting nonetheless.

 

(OOC: The yellow powder is not near you, FF)

 

---

 

Smoke Monster, after having a brief bit of trouble properly loading his thornax launcher, fires it upon the back of Tuma, which he can just barely see. The problem is, you see Tuma turn around, and lock eyes with you, despite the distance between you.

 

---

 

With his mind, Nato felt a growing presence. The 'word' ' A C K N O W L E D G E D ' flashed in his mind, and then, he began to feel a growing familiarity with a few beings to the east, just slightly beyond a collapsed watchtower - a collapsed watchtower where a familiar face, General FF of Iconox - leading a small force of Tesara's soldiers, was fighting against a few Skrall within the collapsed watchtower.

 

---

 

Tuma roared as he felt yet another thornax strike his back - adding even more pain, and causing the wound on his back to visibly bleed, leaving a trail of blood. Infuriated, he turned to the direction he believed the thornax to have come from, and saw the familiar figure of a Rock Agori at the top of a tall building. Tuma, locking eyes with the Rock Agori, loaded and fired his own thornax launcher, intending to kill the Rock Agori who had caused him a significant amount of pain.

"Oh no..."

 

Seeing Tuma take aim at me from a distance, I duck down and back away from where I am and traverse back down the building a ways to avoid his projectile. I request RNG rolls for Agility and Luck for this action.
