Attack. Keep my shield ready to block him and my sword ready to strike. If that fails the heavy mail should protect me.

[adwarf]

I changed my action before you did that post. Also I wasn't banishing him just weakening him.

[Ochita]

The hooded figure hears the scream, and pardoning himself, he chases after the noise.

[Yoink]

((Adwarf, please don't just keep making excuses about how things shouldn't require a roll, etcetera... It's not that bad! You unleashed a demon on the town, that causes fun! Lighten up, have your character run around screaming, blame it all on Kaguro or something. See! Just think of new solutions, don't retcon some magic spell you learnt years ago into existance to deal with it. ))

OOC: Adwarf, all actions that have a chance of failure make use of a roll to determine the outcome. Even causing a demon to pass out through the use of magical techniques that no seventeen year old would normally be capable of.
Further, stop complaining and making up excuses. Certainly stop editing posts to alter entire actions after they have already been made. Editing a post to do anything more than clarify actions or fix typos, something you've clearly never heard of doing, is in very poor taste.

On a less irritated note, when we get Kaguro's reply I'll make all relevant rolls and then continue with our courtroom drama.


If King Erik had planned on giving the summoner a moment to rectify its mistakes, he was never going to be able to now. As the first guard fell, and the second fled, half of the regiment in the room closed in. Within moments, nearly fifteen guards would be attempting to make the summoner into an impromptu weapon-rack. Three would move to guard the possible exits/entrances, and ten more would be rushing out of the castle to try and stop the possessed guard.

The King himself was stunned, caught off-guard by the sudden burst of violence and magic, and did not react until after his guardsmen had already moved in to attack. Seeing no other option, or perhaps not intent on anything other than slaying the traitor's demonic brethren, he raised his longsword and moved to aid his soldier's in cornering and slaying the summoner.

A Day or So After That...

The King smiled, and extended a hand to the woman "Well, congratulations on your marriage, Lady Drua. I'm sorry I could not have been there for the celebration." He paused a moment to think, and then concluded, "I believe that is all. You are welcome to remain here as long as you like, and a regiment will no doubt be willing to escort you back to your estate whenever it is you are ready to return."

((So, I need to roll... Do I use a certain online dice roller, or just roll a physical D6? Also... When is this demon rampage happening in relation to Trubaldsome's meeting with the king? A day later or something, right? If so, I don't need to react to it.
EDIT: Oh, and lol @ Adwarf. Seriously, you really do make up all your containment spells on the fly ))

Day later, but unless Taricus is pretty sharp it's likely to stretch more than a day.  Physical D6, or d20 Dicebag are both good.  I actually use Random.org's dice roller for this game, just to be sure.

((Changing action even if he cahnged bodys the seal on my arm is what keeps him tied if I destroy it he disappears. That wasn't my fault it was Ituem's he misunderstood my post draining Gil. to the point of passing out in his cat form wouldn't have caused what just happened since it just involves me concentrating on reducing his power with no side effects.))

I didn't misunderstand your post.  I flat out overruled it because it was unfair on other players, completely unbalanced and most importantly of all because you gave yourself no chance of failure.  Without a chance of failure, success is meaningless.  If you start out a living god, what boundaries are there for you to overcome?  What opportunities have you to grow, to develop?  The only way you can go is down (which can actually be just as great, playing a mighty character's destruction - that's essentially what tragedy is) and if you don't even let yourself do that then what you end up with is a stale, pointless character that ruins the fun for everyone else.

The reason we use dice is because risk is fun.  Yes, we lose out sometimes but that just makes it better when we win.  The other reason is because dice are impartial.  This is why so many roleplaying game systems use dice - otherwise what you end up with is the old game of cops and robbers: "Bang bang, you're dead!"  "Nuh-uh, you missed me!", and so on until both players get bored and go do something where there's a chance of the eternal stalemate ever ending.  The need for impartiality is the reason we have GMs, and the reason why players describing the results of their own actions (especially in a way that brooks no deviation from what they want) is a big roleplaying no-no.

Play someone who isn't all-powerful.  Take some risks.  Accept that you might fail, and if you do, do it with grace and tell a story that everyone will want to read.  That is a true success.  There's a pretty good chance that Trubaldsome's ploys will fail horribly and he'll be exiled from the kingdom at the very least for his efforts - or even executed and his character removed from the game.  But I am pretty damn sure that Yoink is mature enough that if that happens he'll make sure he goes out with enough style that everyone will applaud how it ends.  The same for KaguroDraven if the axe should fall the other way.  Your character's goals might succeed or fail, but no matter what happens if you can have fun doing it and tell a good enough story that others have fun reading it, you've won.  That's what your goal should be, regardless of whatever your character's goals might be.  To have fun, and respect the fun of others while you do it.

((Just stop argueing, please))

Kaguro just stares at the burnt corpse with little expression. "Ignoreing the first part of your little show here, you're saying I sent an assassin after you and the King's cousin"" He said with a nearly monotone voice. He closed his eyes and shook his head "You do realise that I'm quite outspoken in my loathing of assassin's yes? I think they are a weak and cowardly way out of your problems that could be handled by way of an army or diplomacy." He said, a slight sneer comeing to his face. "If I wanted you dead I would challenge you to a duel and rend your head from your shoulders myself, no use in getting another man's blade dirty over my problems when I can just get my own blade dirty.". "Of course these accusations of molestation are just as rediculas, for several reasons. But before putting forth personal reasons let's go with the logical ones. Why would I molest the King's Cousin when it would be far less troublesome to do so to women from random small villages? Or women on the path of war?"

[Yoink]

Trubaldsome speaks convincingly to the King of Kaguro's misdeeds and treachery, and has the burnt and unrecognizable body of the "assassin" brought before the King as evidence.

Roll for persuasiveness, +1 for grisly evidence.  Up to the King as to how he actually perceives it, of course.

((Well, not sure how I'm supposed to do this, so I'll just roll a physical d6 and stuff! ))
6 +1

((Uh-oh. A six. D: ))

[adwarf]

OOC: Oh well you are an Arbiter your word is final I will just try to worm my way out of it, or let him destroy the town for all I care the king killed my brother, so I will let that kill him.

Run let them deal with Gil., but I must escape.

[Taricus]

((Yoink: You're going to implicate yourself gallavanting WITH Kaguro XD))

[Little]

Drua smiles warmly at the King's kind words, "Thank you very much. I believe, once I can find that charming diplomat, I'll probably be heading into battle with a regiment from my estate. Fighting for your honour and the protection of Miring is next on my list, and then maybe a mapping expedition."

Drua grins wolfishly, "But I'm sure the combat is going to be very interesting, and I'll do my best to help win it for our side."

Drua will seek out Terenos, tell him to meet her on her Miring estate, and then depart to her estate. Once there, she will inform her husband of the impending war and rally the personal regiment.

[KaguroDraven]

((I prefer to let the King or GM roll my rolls, I have very odd luck when it comes to rolls where it's usually insanely good, IE on die 100s I usually end up above 85, but rarely is incredinly bad(below 10), it is rarely anywhere inbetween, if I roll that on this people might accuse me of cheating,so I'd rather a GM do it))

(( I'd like to point out that so far I've caused 3 explosions and apparently decapitated a guy with a makeshift ballista, all on accident, I loves me some dice.))

Dismantle ballista!
