Actually, I'm not so sure about that. If they're stronger than a team of knights, I'd see no reason why the Spiral Order doesn't just make everyone wardens.

I actually think that Spiral Wardens fall faster in combat than other knights because the nature of their role demands it. The strength of their gear or the depth of their skills won't make up for having to throw themselves in harm's way to defend their fellow knights.

Patience. I'm working on a post as we speak.

He should do the latter. If he hasn't already been acquainted with the team, he should take care of that now.

You have no control over Serris. Your use of the character was strictly limited to Affraiel's lore.

Tell you what, I'll trust you with more control over the story's direction. Let me PM you the backgrounds of the four Spiral leaders, and you can decide on things from there.

No, I want you to take a load off. I don't want to direct it all by myself.

The descriptions of the remaining two Spiral Officers has been sent off.

The four have already been PM'd to you.
*Ozlo
*Feron
*Barrus
*Vaelyn

I'll handle Feron for the most part.

Reference

That's a good first post! Most notably, one particular well-written phrases caught my eye:
-"He continued forward, picking his way through piles of junk." Concise and picturesque. I couldn't have said it better. Really.

The rest was so-so. It got the picture across effectively, but I thought there was too much of "[do]ing, he did [something]." For example, "Picking it up, he found a target." And shortly afterwards, "Hurling the scrap metal, he ran forward." If you're trying to convey action, the "-ing" ending slows everything down and counteracts that. Give the verbs more action; for example, you could instead say "He picked it up and found a target," or "He hurled the scrap metal and ran." Even better, "He picked up a piece of scrap metal, hurled it at a bot and ran."

I also have some character feedback. Rhendon implied that he visited the Chasm Pass so many times that he's sick of it. He ought to know by now what to call that "big [thing] that looked like wood" (Lumber). I also doubt he'd be running around grinning and shouting in a place he despises.

Don't be discouraged if you got more "criticism" feedback than "praise" feedback - it was a good first post. No edits required; just keep the above tips in mind. ;-)

Shall I or Darkwatck handle the mecha knights, or shall I leave them to the players?

You certainly may control the Lumber.

The Mecha Knights shouldn't be a problem for Solomon, since even a noob like Evaria could handle three of them all by herself. Just make sure to dispatch them quickly before they learn anything.

Also, Feron's squad list has been updated on post #51.

It would be more accurate to say that this RP is supposed to be based more on PC development than on fighting alone, because the fights can also contribute to PC development. We will be spending lots of time on the battles that are important to the story.

The encounters down here only exist because they would logically have occurred, not because they are important, so they must be completed quickly.

Not quite. The fight sequences should start to be more common and lengthy as the story goes on because of their importance to character development. I'll mail you a few summaries of those fights.

You've already been mailed the major plot points for the near future. You might want to have a look. ;)
