Return to Cradle 2 Discussion Thread (apps open)

Can everyone give me a status report of what is going on and what are you planning on doing next? It would be really nice if everyone just share the intel.
My current goals.
Elzilia and Ursulan: Searching for the primordial fallen and convince him to assisst in the attack on the platinum spire.
Affraiel and Midnight: Searching for Gwen and bring her to justice, Affriael's brand of justice that is.

*To reach a satisfactory ending for Gwen. It need not be a happy one; it just has to be powerful.
*To find a good place for Hexlash's "Brandon"

We need Gwen and Cicero's inputs on whether they're going to the Wildwoods to find Xindao (and possibly take out Snarble) or not. Two birds with one stone, Come On!
EDIT: Okay, I just got ninja'd by Thin from the story thread.

First is to Judge the Snarbolax(with the others)
Next up is to amass more of the current population away from the Order and Morai, questioning them for once.

Well if that is the case, Affraiel and Midnight will be moving to the gloaming wild wood, killing Gwen while she is killing Baron and snarble, killing 3 bird in one stone. Damn, or just teach her a little lesson or two about what justice really is.
Affraiel's quotes on Gwen:
Affraiel: *sneers* “So you are telling me, that the white haired brat, or your Queen… is going around killing people because they killed people? What kind of BIGOTRY is that?!”
Midnight: “Bigotry?”
Affraiel: *Frowns with frustration* “Still don’t get it? Tell me this, who protects the innocent, from the woman who protects the innocent? This so called justice crap? Is nothing more than a soothing word that she say to herself every time when she takes a life away, it spares the burden of all the sins she created… I may have killed a lot of people in my life, I lost count at 108 as a matter of fact, but I paid dearly for every life I took… I can still see their ghosts, hovering around me… calling me a sinner, do I deserve this?”
Midnight: “Did you kill because you seek justice? I can use my prayer to ease your pain…”
Affraiel: *looks menacingly at Midnight* “Spare your prayers… and No, I kill because I choose to, I fought for what I believed is right and I killed whoever stood in my way, I justify nothing, I have already paid my tribute, this planet, this, clockwork, was my purgatory, my final trial is neigh, once the three spires are destroyed and your Queen is dead… I will finally rest, in the paradise that I was fighting for my whole life…”
Midnight: “The Paradise? That would be Heresy, unless you are redeemed…”
Affraiel: *face palms* “No, not the paradise you came from you idiot! The one that is in my dream, a little island floating in the middle of nothingness, away from this world and its problems. I will sleep there in an eternal slumber, away from bloodshed and war… with nothing but peace in my heart, wind blows, leaf falls… just the way I liked it…” *snugs into his prison mattress and falls asleep*

I just thought about Sam's speech to Raiden before his fight against Monsoon. As for the story...
THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME zfyfxfzjgfzh

Gwen really wouldn't have a hard time picking out Jaxter from the crowd. Remember, she's not just any Valkyrie; her Sensory stat is ranked at 2, an "Impossible" rating. She can pick him out no sweat. Once her shoulder regenerates (if she can avoid injury until then), Jaxter is toast.

Maybe it wasn't such a wise move to fire on Cicero right then...scrap. Ah well, best be writing the funeral poem. He lived a good life.

Jaxter might not get killed if Gwen undergoes a lil' character development. ;)

Well, Blesse just lost her lid at this. Everything was going so smoothly before her Rage took over (insert her moments of Rage as stated in the app). It seems Jaxter did a little more then anger Gwen, he angered a fire bender.

That sounds...promising! Leave him for dead, but not quite?

Welp, looks like Cicero has no choice but to join them now.

So it's Gwen, Knights who are getting burned/cooked alive at the moment and Blesse. Grand.

So, Cicero was able to dodge a whole volley of gunfire from knights at least thirty feet from him, vault over one while still avoiding Blesse's fire, and reach me...while Sono put him on the lift and went downwards to Xindao. Look man, you're godmodding.

Also, good news everyone! We are 500+ post in and still running strong. Can we give our Host a round of hands for keeping us going this long into the game. :D
[claps for Thinslayer]

Malk clearly got ninja'd hard by about 5 different posts.
/clap Thinslayer

*applause*
Nice job! This was an nice RP for me to start on, thanks to you Thin! Well done!

This is what happens when your at the center of something, you get posted from muilitpule angles at once. YOu have to be able to make a judgement call that makes bothsides happy. In this case it would be best if Malkalack went down the elevator instead of rushing into a burning inferno which was spawned by Blesse's since taking a leave of mind.

It's Vanilla... or Chocolate. I have both. Um, pudding aside, I edited my post to make a little more sense.

"It takes two to tango", as the saying goes. I couldn't make any of this happen without you guys. ^_^

That still doesn't make a lot of sense, since Gwen was I believe still on the lift.

I don't know if that was a bad idea.... Seriously, Is Gwen still up there? Malkalack has made that rather confusing.
I don't know if it's obvious, But Renao does not have control over her temper.

If Gwen wasn't previously on the elevator, she is now.
Also, I have a plan brewing. Gonna make good use of that Analytical: 2 rating. ;-)

Blesse has higher endurance. In a since she can take a vast beating. It kind of helps her when it comes to her heat.

Affraiel and Midnight are on route to hunt down Gwen. Hope they will get there soon, this is likely Affraiel's final stand. he will probably be the first casualty in Elzilia's crew. Deus Aradama will replace him once he is down.

A pack of insane ninjas attacked me during that scene, and dropped from the ceiling with their shurikens of plot advancement.

Will be brb for about seven hours. Road trip to Vegas. Have fun!

Its when you just can't help but bust out the Tools and throw them at the closet plot development board. It just seems like Malkalack was the one everyone aimed for.

I was the one aiming at the others who aimed for Malkalack- Because we need something to counteract the excessive destruction.

So, I've been wondering, is there like a website where I can make theoretical music scores to hear what it would sound like?
Just a small question for a small time nonexistent bard.

You guys just up and dissapeared off the face of Isora. what happened?

Still here. I'll be posting next when I have a good opportunity.

Parents when in Vegas for awhile....they're just so excited and I'm like: Computer doe. ;-;

Im just ready to spring forth as Xindao's insurance policy.
Which I hope is pretty soon.

Anguis makes the ground shake a little.
No Pulses given.
And its very doubtful that from some shaking makes it clear that its a snake.
Im still curious as to how you detected him.

Yeah, he metagamed... that's really the only thing I can say.

I'm hoping the situation will resolve itself without my intervention.
*hint hint*

Idk, Affraiel is aiming at Gwen's head right about now, or when they are facing snarble, either way, or, he is going to settle some old scores with either Barrus or Gwen. i will write once when Gwen is in another fray, for now, just kept in mind that Serris, Affraiel's sworn enemy had long left cradle thanks to Gwen, so yes, Affraiel thirsts for revenge.

All Knights who use a HUD have a built in display for a map of the level, this map is generated based on connection of the Terminal's of the levels as well as connections with HQ. Now enemy placement is triangualted by an algerithem which sends out a unheard pulls too low for the human ear to hear or detect. It works much the same way radar works.
Signal goes out and comes back in, Since sound is sent via partical's bumping back and forth, its easier to 'hear' something underground and judge it's distance then in open air. This gives Bless a better idea since she can use the HUD of any knight connected to the network's mainframe (Which all knights who used a HUD in their' Helms are) to locate and or point out any creature's with in the area of the Map location. The only thing she can't do is give you fine details like what it looks like face to face. Just small things like it's shape and it's hight.
(Not that it matter's I am going to called out for Metagaming no matter what here. ._.)
And if that does not help thing about it like this, the Knights have a more advanced version of our Sonar system so they can detect things better. It's just threw the others she can map out the area threw Technology.
But at any rate I throw my self at the mercy of the court here.
Renao was planning to go after Gwen the whole time... To assist.
