Merysta cocks her head to the side. Something feels off, some sound she heard, but she's too young to focus on it for long. Right now, she's starving, and there's a tasty carcass in front of her that is only half-devoured. She sets back to it; there will be time later to look for the jasper.

Cast my higher-tier Heat spell on a tree. Then travel back towards my home (south-west I believe)

(Stop giving away my ideas. ^^^ I'm planning on trying to take over a small village when I get old enough, myself...)
...There's a difference between taking over a town and befriending a town.

(I'm bored, so I'll address this. By taking over town, I don't mean 'stomp in roaring and demand tribute.' I mean more 'find a small village, befriend them, get them to think of me as a protector, help them take over other small villages and expand into a full-fledged city state, then reap the benefits of being worshipped by a mass of people' type of thing. ^^^ Unlikely, but I can dream. And attempt.)

Very similar to my plans! Especially the use of the term "worshiped" as opposed to "served" or "is friends with."

I dunno, it looked to me like you;re going with the 'hostile takeover' route.

I foresee a shaky alliance that will probably end with Merysta and Raikonai either hooking up or constantly trying to stab each other in the back, then hiding the knives and acting innocent whenever the other turns around. XD

Side note, I actually made more progress in the army combat system. So random events for kingdoms may return.

Quote from: IronyOwl on April 05, 2012, 05:06:23 am

"Hmph. Then enjoy your dirt and sand, maggots."

Fly away, at a slightly off angle from my lair. It's important to not look weak, and leaving promptly would be wise.

Return to lair, after the slight detour to throw off any attempts at tracking.

You retreat, defeated without a single drop of spilt blood. Well, at least as far as you could tell. Someone could have had a nosebleed.

You fly away at and angle and return to your lair.

Quote from: Dwarmin on April 05, 2012, 10:48:08 am

After taking in her surroundings, Anthramarux took a moment to think...her Mother, if properly motivated, would probably lay waste to the camp in a rage...but, she might destroy the very scales the Gods wanted, or otherwise scatter them to the four winds with fleeing bandits.

No...she decided to take a risk and visit Gunstun, the knight commander. Surely, he could enlist his help in wiping the bandit blight from the land...or at least, some medical aid. While she chafed at the thought of being in debt to him-noble though he may be-she knew it was the easiest way to achieve her goal.

And if she had tell some creatives fiction to them, then so be it. It was for their own good, after all.

Action: Fly toward Gunstun's army camp at a safe level, to avoid hostile intent.

You fly towards not-Gunstun's camp at a somewhat safe level. And slowly. Hopefully not invoking hostile intent.

You arrive above their camp. Everyone is panicking. To be fair, you are a dragon.

A bunch of knights come out of a building. Surely one of them must be Gunstun.

Quote from: KineseN on April 06, 2012, 03:01:40 pm

There was nothing Kin hated more than a swamp. It was damp, the ground was soggy, the water disgusting and the air had a pungent smell to it, like ripe fruit simmering in muddy water. Worse was that he wasn't as fit as he thought him be. He started to lose height because of his tired wings. He started to regret his impulsive decision and should have just staid home.

While keeping his northern direction now on ground, Kin kept an eye out for anything living that would be too close to him. With tired wings and unstable ground he wanted to be alert against any adversaries he might meet.

You continue walking north. It's just more swamp. Lots of swamp. Swampswampswampswampswamp. You've pretty much reached the edge of the swamp and can't go north any further on foot as the swamp turns into lake.

Jaydenhal would wait.

((Please don't do this kind of action. 9/10 times I do an action, I leave the player in a situation where I expect at least some input. I do not consider waiting input. In fact, I consider plain waiting (waiting without your character doing anything at all) to be a waste of the poster's time and mine.))

You wait, standing perfectly still.

Your mother looks at you for a good while. She then starts to look worried. "He's not reacting. Is there something wrong?"

"I... don't know. I've never heard of this from my parents. I guess we'll have to see."

...

You spend several years with your parents. Life is fairly standard so far. You eventually become a child. Refer to turn 5 for roleplaying changes.

[4]: Life is really quite average. Though today your parents are now giving you a gift for your birthday. A first for this RTD.

They give you a fancy ring. They don't tell you what kind of ring it is, though.

Quote from: Repulsion on April 09, 2012, 08:19:09 am

Cevitil attempts to track the Duke and Baron's movements, examining them and their repertoire for any possible weaknesses. Also, examine the castle for the same.

Be sure to keep an eye, nose, ear, etcetera out for any information concerning the Spy Master.

Also, be subtle.

You examine the Duke and Baron's movements for any weaknesses. [Int:6]: You examine their escorts carefully. There aren't many visible weaknesses. Determined, you foolishly get too close to the two and find four guards bearing down on you. You don't hear anything about the spymaster.

"Stand back, dragon. The Duke and Baron are passing by. Can't have you causing trouble."

Turns out, being subtle as a dragon in a city of humans is pretty darn difficult, as you catch the eyes of a lot of the escorts of the two lords and you catch the Baron's attention as he passes by.

+1 Int.

You bloody your face with the blood of your meal. What is left is the undesirables and bones. Everything else is eaten.

There is a sort of blood lust with the blood, but it doesn't really 'fit' your current mood.

Quote from: Talarion on April 10, 2012, 12:55:33 am

Cast my higher-tier Heat spell on a tree. Then travel back towards my home (south-west I believe)

[Int:1]: You attempt to cast the-AAAAHHHH HOT HOT HOT! You wave your left hand around in pain; you've got a burn underneath your scales on your right front arm/leg and hand... It hurts quite badly. ...You flopped up on one of the most basic safety rules and managed to target yourself.

South west is into the sea. You're waaaay off course. Your home is on the same tile.

Anyway, you fly a short distance back home.

-1 HP. -1 Int.

Quote from: Ahra on April 10, 2012, 01:58:20 am

check out the cave

((No, you're not going to search the whole cave in 1 turn.))

[1][3][3]: You look around the cave and find two blank rooms with nothing in them. So it doesn't come as a surprise that the next one i-OH GOOD LORD GIANT SNAKE HOLY CRAP.

You ask mother what the goblet is.

"It... It's a goblet I took from a human. Nothing special... besides it being gold... I think I'm sick..."

Mother lays down, coughing, dropping the goblet.

Why did you run a turn? Now I feel compelled to run a turn for mine you bastard.

But more to the point...

If you don't mind, I'd enjoy having a look at your army combat system later. I'm going to have to work out one of my own eventually, looking at a prototype by someone of a very different style might be useful.

Dermonster · « **Reply #1404 on:** April 13, 2012, 06:27:56 pm »

Yeah, I just kinda don't care anymore.

it;s gotten to that point where I just go 'Oh god I have to do another turn?' whenever I see the thread update.

IronyOwl · « **Reply #1405 on:** April 13, 2012, 06:37:22 pm »

Raikonai snorted. His first attempt at building a power base had failed, on account of his subjects being insolent, arrogant, dirtmongering worms with no interest in bettering themselves. He wondered, a bit maliciously, if their fetid dirt pile would just fester there forever or be wiped out by whatever subjects eventually accepted his rule.

Well, no matter. That region was dead, so he needed to think about another. Or at least, he needed to think about another once he'd had a chance to rest- all this flying was tiring him out.

Search through my forest on foot, trying to find anything interesting or unusual.

Okay, I'll PM it. I'm not sure how much use if can be for you since you have no RTDs with the same setting, I'm not sure how balanced it is, and one half of it isn't really nearly finished and partially outdated... but if you say so.

Spoiler: Sheet, as per your request. (click to show/hide)

Name: Aleia (Ah-LEH-yah).
Gender: Female.
Body:
Head: Rough. (+5 Intimidation, +5 Charisma)
Horns: Single horn. (+5 Charisma, -15 Intimidation, +2 damage from head ramming.)
Claws: Normal. (No effect.)
Scale Color: Chromatic. (+10 Charisma, -5 Intimidation, -5 Evil.)
Body length: Standard. (No effect.)
Spine stiffness: Standard. (No effect.)
Tail: Blade end. (+5 agility, -10 strength, +5 Intimidation, +5 damage from tail.)
Breath: Saharia's Cold. (Can be used every 5 turns. +5 Evilness, +5 Cruelty. Cannot be used if Saharia is angered.)
Stats: All non-red. REMEMBER TO FACTOR IN YOUR GENDER AND BODY PARTS PLEASE. And remember to add a plus or minus so I can quickly tell that you are getting it from your body part or gender. Each stat starts at 50 points. And you have 20 bonus points. So in total you have 270 points to work with.
Strength: 50, -5 (Gender), -10 (Tail) = 35 -15 = 20 (35 points left)
Agility: 50, +5 (Gender), +5 (Tail) = 60 (35 points left)
Intelligence: 50, +5 (Gender) = 55 +30 = 85 (5 points left)
Toughness: 50, -5 (Gender) = 45 -10 = 40 (10 points left)
Charisma: 50, +5 (Gender), +5 (Head), +5 (Horn), +10 (Scale color) = 70 +10 = 80 (0 points left).
Roleplaying: If you want to add roleplaying information, here's where to add it to:
Personality: Aleia respects authority, as long as it is competent. She is not a conformist. She does not realize what she has until she loses it. She is cheerful, considerate of others, perseverant and open-minded. She is whimsical, confident and pretentious. She is sincere, but only if she won't win anything with lying. She will do anything to achieve her goals.
Mother background: Aleia's mother was a chromatic dragon called Arabella. She loves spending time as a human with a ring her own mother had gifted her, and as such, discovered how a lot of money can be made by simply charging people to guard their valuables and money with her, and making loans. A.K.A., she's a banker. When it was eventually discovered that she was a dragon, she convinced many people to keep using her bank, and who better to prevent something being stolen than a dragon?
Father background: Aleia's father was a blue dragon who went by the name of Stroril. He, as Arabella, loved disguising as a human, but his way of earning money was buying items to broke people for a low price, and if they got enough money on time, give it back to them. If not, he kept the item if it was interesting or sold it at a higher price if it was not.
