I think it would be cool to have it at the point where the ravine meets the plain.
or at least have everyone meeting there.
gavurah , or whatever we called it can move about. perhaps it will move toward handefu?
that would make sense because of the death of the infants it will likely feel intoxicated by the stench of death around the city.
it would be a good are for us to hold a battle because it has lots of things we can use as tools to link our battle around.

I don't think metal man will notice weakness with s-gard, as at the moment s-gard is exuding insane amounts of power.
he may not be sentient but he is unbelievably powerful.
he has the ability to manipulate forces around him to a far greater extent. this is what darkness has helped with. the consiousness may not be giving up, but the joining has already infused their 'bodies'. so the part that shadow was collecting is doing the work for s-gard. but the weakness is that he is not sentient because of the argument. so anyway, metal man will simply want to keep out of his way else he gets completely destroyed.
ah... here is somewhere that shadow can really be of help.
that plant where s-gard mistook shadow for darkness will have come in handy if you like the idea i have now.
maybe shadow wants to help s-gard and so she persuades metal man to sacrifice his body?
well that would come after the defeat of gevuurah but i think it would be cool considering her control over metal man.

so anyway, I wish s-gard to simply stay where he is. then when givuurah gets to the city s-gard will have some part of recognition and will engage the thing.

One thing I was concerned about.
I do not feel we have made good reference to the other blades that we were going to have. I think it would not seem right to suddenly produce them.
unless I have missed something... i feel it may be best just to have alycone and the dark saber to merge to create the one true blade?

I think it would be cool to have blaze be involved in this way so he is no loner in his own separate thread that he seemed to go off on. however, if we are going to have everyone at the exit of the ravine at the time of battle, maybe we do not need to take them to the infirmary?



maybe I should try and set out some sort of model for the fight.

everyone congregates at the exit of the ravine.
s-gard is fighting the thing and basically whupping it, but he cannot keep it down. they are basically evenly matched.
xeravil has by this time ecieved the dark saber and is possibly joining the blades?
xeravil joins s-gard and they kill tha blasted thing.
I think it best if xeravil delivers the finshing blow as she has the blade.
s-gard is needed to keep the thing from killing xeravil though.
when it is dead. s-gard still wants to kill things. he goes to kill xeravil but she will escape. he then is chasing slowly and it seems as though he is as bad as the death summon except he can be fixed by the symbol and the summon.
da dadada da. things happen..
stuff gets done.
something occurs and bam its finished.


BTW, I made it so that wade and shadow can view this forum.

i'm sure shadow will appreciate it thank you.

With the bit with Shadow and Metal Man I was going to make it that the darkness she had introduced into him at his creation was the key Xeravil needs to implant darkness into Metal Man. After all he was a created being, therefore he should be lacking innate light or dark so you have to use something else. shadow is currently tossing up whether she owes S-gard a favour or not for mistaking her for darkness because she was honoured about such a mistake. the city made the same mistake but they are weak pathetic individuals who aren't worth mentioning and should have knonw better. S-gard of course should have known better as well but the fact that he didn't was very flattering to her because he actually had the power to know better. At least I think that's what shadow's line of reasoning is.

Sorry with weakness with S-gard I meant that because he's not moving or noticing his surroundings maybe metalman wouold find this odd. maybe not though. Of course, he's got to notice that through all the power!

With the way things are happening it's probably better to have everyone met up on the Ravine since those in the Infinrmary could perhaps follow Xeravil there.

Blaze is currently at the city because I asked him to go there. What he's fighting though... I don't know. Mav suggested something nice for him and that was to have an Elemental Council. Now, Blaze has given himself ice powers and now seems to be developing Fire ability. Such a thing is imbalanced and would attract the attention fo the council so Aamon was sent.

We have made one reference to the other Blades but not by name. The first time Xeravil talkes to Alycone she talks about Alycone's sisters but it probably just went right over everyone's head so it probably is best just to join Dark Sabre and Alycone and keep the sisters as something else.

Oh... while I was doing my back reading.... I noticed something....

If you take the palace as the centre point, the temple is to the south, valkyrie cave and island espy is holed up on to the west and the city to the east.

Overall plan sounds good. :) ALthough for the moment I guess I've got to go deal with Wade... or maybe grab Templar who said he remembered a book and run! I checked the books locations. Templar had one but never said what happened with it, so I was goign to have had him take it to the Infirmary and then leave it there so that the Nurse has it. Reinhart can find the other and I know shaodw's got one.

the darkness and shadow and metal man thing sounds good. looks like you got that worked out.

yes, I found it strange what nizalb said. I thought he was making a strange mockery of shadow for a moment, then he mentioned about lazers??? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

the north south east west thing....
I guess the compass points can shift as is the nature of the place. otherwise we will have a hel of a job trying to figure out where things are..... I think i probably got the layout wrong many many times already.... ^^;

um... I never got chance to do metal man taking the dark saber north...
if you get chance before myself, could you do that please?
It's no big, I can probably do it tomorrow evening and all should be well. I dont think theres a big rush.

How to get the guys to move from the infirmary to the plains??
any ideas?

also, I am thinking of waiting til shadow, kcirevam and nizalb leave the city before I have s-gard attacked by the it.

does that sound like a plan?

what am i waiting for...
shadow kcirevam and nizalb...
also for xeravil yourself to complete the puzzle?
is that right? is there anything else?

at the moment, your highness, kcirevam and i are still playing... although i imagine there is not much left in the city that is worth playing with still and we will have to got elsewhere... in the midst of battle now which should be over later today

xeravil reports that if she's got m tagging along, she could probably get the others, especially if she grabs kavor. the puzzle though still requires one more book that shadow has. it has broken out of the temple but is moving slowly to enjoy the death.... although it was shadows poor understanding that suggested that xeravil need only complete the puzzle after it was defeated and the combined entity which was darkness/s-gard wanted to kill things, herself included!

i will hopefully have a few posts ready to go later today. the ocean is nice.

good point....
yes I guess the puzzle could wait until after 'IT' is killed.
I guess I will watch and wait until a good time.
I think it should be okay to start the fight once you 2 have cleared the area?
oh, and nizalb.....

I am puzzled.
maybe a little worried.
metal man is moving north.
If aamon is flying to handefu, then you will miss metal man, and will not get the dark sabre...
also, shaould I start the fight with it, while you guys are in the city?
It is troubling me....
would you please let me know when it is good to post?
I do not know what your plans are for pacing etc. so I will need some sort of prompt. thanks.

I'm trying to give Ingriam the chance to develop a little but we will see how that goes.

If Metal Man is moving north, that's no big deal since we can simply spot him from the air. I was going to finish that post with finding him but I decided it would be better to try to get Ingriam to talk or type something. We can bypass the city all together since I'm going there to talk to S-gard but you aren't exactly in a position to talk right now. :) I don't know that yet though so I imagine I will beat a hasty retreat when I find out that you are otherwise occupied. Heh.

As for fighting it, how many posts did you want that to take? But there is no reason why it can't take place on the plane them move closer to the city so you could start any time. I think I wrote somewhere that it was moving slowly but the definition of slowly is a little vague.

I get the impression you'd like this done by the time your X-mas/New Year Holiday's are done?

it would be nice...
I am growing a little weary.. but then thats probably because i have one fanfiction in progress and another that is yelling at me to start it!
also, I have to do some drawing before I start back again.
don't worry though.
I am not gonna expect people to rush just for me.
I'll just play it by ear.
if it is ok for me to start the fight and then possibly relocate then I may do that.
I am unsure how long to make the fight last.
It is a matter of pacing, and with fights I sometimes have trouble with extending them.
I try to make them as interesting as possible, but then it is tough.
It troubles me when a fight approaches because I am thinking.. how do I make this interesting but not too short...?
