Special Powers! 2nd Epic (Revival)

[ZephyrPhantom]

A scream is heard in the village, and a panicked Wyrm seems to fly away from the scene. Something is wrong....
We aren't too far from the village, until we hear a loud scream. Rushing towards the village, my group arrives to find a white-cloaked figure attempting to hide among the crowd as they gather around the corpse of a fallen orc - from the looks of his gear he was a animal breeder or trainer.
I text Web to ensnare the sneaky suspect.

1) Run towards the village.
2) Look to find the white-cloaked figure.
3) Text - Web.

I stop as a scream echos out back from where the Wyrm breeder was, curios, I edge into a growing crowd and try to blend in.
1: Blend in crowd
OOC: Is this white cloaked character me? I just want to make sure

Nope, it's someone else.

[tyranim]

yeah, i want to be part of this, but i dont have the time. my ghost character and all final decisions on the specifics of his powers will go to whoever can solve this riddle first. if a plane crashes on the border of mexico and the u.s., where do you burry the survivors?

[Camoninja]

You don't!
I was thinking of finding a "Character Archive Machine" to store people who can't play or have to leave. Say, a giant metal box with blinking lights and beeping noises, with a force field surrounding it, disabling all powers and items inside of it. And then whoever wants that person's ability can go over there and bring them back into the world. I haven't played pokemon, but I've seen people playing it and I think this is similar to the PC in there.

We tried this last game but it ended up with either borrowed characters being dragged around in an alliance or characters sitting in said storage with no one using them. Not sure how it'll handle this time around.

As I enter the village, I hear a scream. After I wind-walk to a roof above the scene, I peer over the edge and see a fallen orc with a crowd around it. Suddenly, I spot Zblader texting on his phone, and I see someone in a blatant white cloak pulled down into the ground. Bad move, Zblader.. He was obviously a paladin, priest, or some other official of the Light kingdom who, like the villagers, was trying to see what was going on...unless he was an impostor?
I see someone in a black-cloaked person running silently through a dark alleyway towards the northern edge of the village as the crowd migrates from the corpse to the white-cloaked figure.
I silently drop down to the edge of the crowd and push my way through it, reaching the orc. I bend down and place my fingers on his neck while easing money out of his pocket with Wind magic. I get up, look around, and pull my head down.
"He's dead," I state solemnly. Although it was quite obvious before I checked his pulse, a murmur spreads around the crowd, and everyone turns their attention to the white-cloaked figure. Then, I drift out of the crowd and, once I'm behind everyone, wind-walk towards the northern edge, passing a small, large-eyed girl with ivory hair and azure pupils. I hope no one in Zblader's group noticed me.
1. Note that Light officials wear white cloaks.
2. Steal money from the dead guy.
3. Chase black-cloaked guy.

"Sorry for the misunderstanding, Lyra." I look up. "Where's your friend headed?"

"Shaden's is headed for the forest. Apparently the Death Elemental we're after took the orc's soul for some kind of summoning ritual in that cave." The blonde friend of mine looks at me. "Oh, how goes 12 Realms? I heard the group's slowed down for a bit."

"Yeah. Other adventures, like the Falling Empire and the opening of the Gladiator's Arenas. "

EvaRia walked over to us at that moment.

"Azure just ran in the same direction as that black-cloak person."

"Really now?" I raise an eyebrow. "Don't tell me he's expecting treasure and glory again. Come on, we better catch up before some giant overleveled dragon starts attacking us all."
1) North we go!
"Not good." Shaden looks at the advancing goblin spearmen from a branch. "Whoever's around here is headed for trouble." He summons a raven, and commands it to go after Lyra. Tied to it's leg is a slip of paper.
Everyone, get ready to battle if you're in the village or in the forest. (A small catch : the battle will be slightly different than just taking actions.)

Announcement:Create an avatar of your character here (http://www.tektek.org/dream/) and post it with your next post on this board. You'll be needing one soon.

"Don't tell me he's expecting treasure and glory again.

Do you have a mind-gate or something? Or was I seriously that obvious in my actions?

I stay in the cave for a while, channeling my forge again. As usual I place it in my pocket for it to absorb power. After a short period of time I decided to follow the others. Specifically I follow the footsteps of the one named 'Zblader'. I run briskly along his path, and eventually hear a loud scream.

I run and leap up into a tree and swing through branches up to the top of a tree further ahead. Looking down, I can see this person is still a good way ahead of me, so I keep scampering through the trees until he reaches the village. There I lower myself down, but by the time I have finished my descent he's out of my sight.

Running through the village with this stupid ninja suit probably would attract too much attention, so I decide to jog around the city to the north. Hopefully I run into any of these other people there, and possibly gain some information. Preferably how I can get different clothes.

For the record: 6 Caltrops, 1 Obsidian Amulet, 1 Emerald Amulet.

Pretend this is a one-piece that's less comfortable than it looks

This is actually a neat little tool. If I can find items to match Nel and Jorg, I could even use this for Adventure when I get it rebooted

"Who are you?" I say from behind Shaden. "What are you doing here?" He looks down, and sees the ice dagger at his neck. "Waiting for your ride, huh?" From our north-east, we can see a cave, and out of the cave flies an Ivory Dragon, similar to the one back in the ruins, except this time much, much larger. "And what a sweet ride that is. Anyways, I know that you killed the orc and I know that you framed the Light official. I just want to know why."
"Look, there has to be some kind of misunderstanding," Shaden says, as my vision turns to black and he appears a few meters away from me, holding my knife in his hand. "I'm a Darkness mercenary, and I was doing some work for the Light Kingdom with the Light official you speak of."
"That's bull, why would someone from the Obsidian Empire ever work for anyone other than the Bone Empire? By the way, you can't just steal my weapon like that." I quickly create an ice dagger to throw at Shaden. He easily parries it, but once they make contact, the one I threw triggers an explosion in the one he was holding, causing shards of ice to dig into his palm.
"My hand!" He yells in agony.
"So you're an enemy now, Azure?" Zblader shouts from afar. He mutters something as he sees the dragon coming up to the village. I look at Shaden, I look towards the dragon, and I look at Zblader's group, somehow missing Lyra running beside them.
It all seems to make sense to me now. I assume that Zblader and his group are also working for the Bone Empire. "I see," I mutter, wind-walking back into the forest, towards the cave the Ivory Dragon came from to destroy its summoner.
As Zblader runs up to Shaden, he looks towards the direction I was going. Unbeknownst to me, Zblader undoubtedly thought that I was working with the Death Elemental.
1. Interrogate Shaden
2. Damage his primary hand.
3. Go towards the cave.
I can fast-forward through 1v1, Me vs NPC fights, right?

You can fastfoward through some fights with weaker NPCs, but it depends on how the enemies fight.
"Ah, I see.  So that bloke thought I was 'evil' and trying to help the Death guy, eh?" Shaden shakes his head. "Far from it. I'm a friendly NPC, and that Mage has gone rouge from the Bone Empire's magi schools. Apparently he found smashing people's skeletons with Holy Light too fun. He's not someone to be messed with either - better stop your friend he gets himself killed."

"And you?" I ask.

"I'll head back to the village with Lyra to handle that giant dragon."
Lyra nods. "Knowing how you're another group of the run-of-mill adventurers, we'll leave it to you to stop the rogue mage and calm your friend down."
 

"You shouldn't have rushed here so quickly, pal!" The arrogant necrophyte  taunts as Goblins step from behind and in front of him. Further back, a strange circle glowing with energy is present. It looks like you can either run back into the forest and hide, or you could try going for the circle....

Skirmish - Patchx94 vs. Neophyte starts here! (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,30572.0.html)
