Okay, so, apparently TRF wants to lose the old thread until such time as Dibs sees fit to return.
So, as per his request, I have made a new thread. I, of course, don't see exactly why this is necessary, but I suppose it won't hurt anything to accommodate Turf.
So, I guess this will just be a continuation of the prior thread with the old characters and we'll pick up where Dibs left off. I suggested that Noob DM this one, but being that he doesn't have any of the source material beyond what's on the internet, he declined. That being the case, if there are no objections, I guess I will be DMing this one. I won't have access to my books myself for another week or two, so if it's okay, I guess I'll be using a homemade campaign. And as far as the campaign goes, expect to see a lot of stuff that's not exactly D&D canon, because, as I said, I don't have my sourcebooks right now. Unless, of course, someone else wants to DM, in which case, I'd be more than happy to step aside.
Unfortunately, I do not think that this game will be accepting any more players. This thread is here for the sole purpose of reducing clutter in the other. It will actually be a lot easier - it was getting to be a pain, navigating that other one with all the pages it had(we were almost at 4,000!).
To start off, I'm going to request that we all post our sheets(I'll track mine down later) and if there is anyone who would like to DM or has any requests to that effect or which concern the next campaign, speak now or forever hold your peace.
Cheers.

He sheaves his sword and bows slightly.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Andeeyloplardii, did I say that right? I am Belneiros Urthadar, but you may call me Bel. I am afraid we do not possess what you seek, or if we do, I do not know about it. Is there something else we may pay you with?"

You realize the word is "sheathes", right? xP


"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Andeeyloplardii, did I say that right?

"No," she sighs in a resigned way, "but no one ever does."

I am Belneiros Urthadar, but you may call me Bel.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Andeeyloplardii I am known as Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobella Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andre Charton-Haymoss Ivanovicci Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser... the Third, but you may call me Free."
"Rafel Soulsbane," Rafe says, stepping up. He bows deeply.

"It is my honor to make your acquaintance.

I am afraid we do not possess what you seek, or if we do, I do not know about it. Is there something else we may pay you with?"

"Of course!" she says, smiling like...well, like a cat. The cunning variety. "I had rather hoped, of course, to improve my collection of ioun stones, but I am also always seeking to add to the vast collection that I hold up here." She taps her head with one paw. "Knowledge! If you tell me a riddle I cannot unriddle, recite a poem, or something of that caliber, I will let you pass, and share my secret with you."

Keep in mind, this cat's intelligence is Genius, but you know what they say: the creature is only as smart as the DM.

"I apologize for my mistake, Miss Andeeyloplardii. If any one of us passes your test, do we all?"

What would Wisdom be worth in this context?

So....... we are ****ed since I am the only smart one and I am playing a Barbarian? Seriously, I'm the only one that figured out the riddle about the colors and the flowers in the original Darkside.......

I didn't even pay attention in the original one, and again I say you don't know what I got.

If you provide a piece of information, I'll roll her Wisdom against yours to see if she already knows it or not.
Other than that, as far as the riddles/poems/etc. go, it'll basically be a player vs DM type of thing.

�"The longer one holds on to a memory, the longer one lives in the past. The deeper the memory they hold onto, the more beautiful the past will become.

She scowls deeply and an angry growl begins to bubble up in her throat. Her tail lashes back and forth violently.
"I should eat you for that! Plagiarism is the most disgusting, horrific-" She continues on in this way for a good ten minutes or so, sprinkling multiple swearwords in various languages in as well. "Well!" she huffs. "Since I never explained to you that PLAGIARISM WILL GET YOU SUMMARILY EATEN, I'll forgive you for that one. But you know what will happen the next time."
Seriously, Dibs? Your idea of intelligence is a quote from an anime character?

"I apologize for my mistake, Miss Andeeyloplardii. If any one of us passes your test, do we all?"

"You answer as a group, and if the group passes, you all do. The reverse is also true...if one of you is to be eaten, you all will be."
She's basically saying you're allowed to confer, you answer as a group, you get rewarded/punished as a group.

What it's an awesome quote, and I am not really feeling it, "what can I say I heard it before and thought is sounded nice."

Bel turns to the group and suggests these:

No matter how bad things get, it'll only kill you once.


Knowledge is the counting of every drop in the waterfall. Wisdom is understanding why the water seeks the earth.


In life, there are only two things to be worried about: either you're either well or you're sick.
If you're well, you have nothing to worry about.
If you're sick, you only have two things to be worried about: either you're either going to get better or you're going to die.
If you get better, you have nothing to worry about.
If you die, you only have two things to be worried about: either you go to Celestia or you go to Inferno.
If you go to Celestia, you have nothing to worry about.
If you go to Inferno, you'll be too busy shaking hands with old friends to worry about anything.

That tears it.

[quote] "what can I say I heard it before and thought is sounded nice."

"KEEP TALKING LIKE THAT AND I AM GOING TO EAT YOU! And I'll start with the soft parts!"
She breaks off into angry mutters about plagiarism again.

"Oh, and one more thing," she says. "If you cannot think of anything yourselves, I can tell you a riddle. If you solve it, I will let you pass, but will not tell you the secret. If you do not, I will eat you, and I WILL START WITH THE PLAGIARIZER." She glares at Free.

Remember, my character, Rafel, has 18 Int and 17 Wis. He's pretty smart. He suggests these...

"Strength will win a battle, but strategy will win a war."
"Foresight is avoiding injury. Hindsight is learning when you do not."

Man, I'm like Sun Tzu.

So, what do they think of Bel's suggestions.
"Yours seem too worn. She wants knowledge new to her."

Free suggests True knowledge is knowing that you know nothing. God I feel like I heard that somewhere but not sure where, or if it is from something else, I think it's from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.
