Is there more to this tale?

You should probably... you know, give us a little context here. Is this who we're playing as? What are we doing? What is our motivation? Where are we? Are we the head of a mercenary band, or just a member? What's our backstory, who the hell are we? Sorry, but this is just a very confusing and unhelpful intro. Also, you should proofread your posts before you send them, because you've got a lot of spelling errors.

Half convinced that you understand the blind man's dialect, you respond
> I'm a juju boy

The man blinks. Heh, 'f you a juju boy ain't gon sense you much I reckon. Dunt get me wrong, aint no'thing harm a juju boy in this town 'cept maybe...a paddywaddy, 'f they can find y'all anyway. No, boy, I jest mean dat dem juju boys up in der asses in paintn' n' readin', seem real artsy folk 'till you find why 'dey paintn' n' readin'.

He suddenly upends his beer, completely draining the bottle in time you didn't think a man his age would achieve. Starting again, he tells you matter of factly The last juju boy I 'member went down the dirt road in 'da wilderness.

You take into consideration the information he's given. You wonder if you should pursue the path the old man laid out in clues or try your luck with getting the old man to tell you more about the town.

I am Glómbulum Krakaz, a 73 year old dwarf.

I have much skill with my axe and with my shield I am unmatched.
I can move in my heavy armor as if it was made out of feathers, my strength is overwhelming, even among the strongest of the race of men.
My will is nigh unbreakable.

Dusk is coming, and the forest turns golden from the light of the setting sun. It is peaceful, but you know night is coming and you are not sure how much further you have to go. All this was a little bit of a rushed undertaking. But rumours of a worthy challenger in the village ahead made you leave in a hurry.

>Nothing worth living for if not a good fight!

You know there are supposed to be some caves nearby, for you the next best thing to your mountainhome. Sleeping under the oen sky is not for a dwarf, and this is far from civilization. Who knows what's lurking in the night.

What do you do?

>>1410566
Head for the caves, if any danger lies within them, I can take it on with my trusty axe!

And last and somewhat notably is a dedicated raider group going by the name of Raynors raiders. Apparently it is led by a war hero gone rogue who split with the dominion some time ago, taking a rather terrifying contingent of troops with him, including a small battlecruiser fleet.
The Aleksander and her new escort look to be by no small means his superior, but apparently he has rumored protoss contacts, and the means to cash in those favors. If he were to focus his eyes on you instead of the dominion, it could spell an early end to your campaign.

You are torn, the smaller and rogue outfits of rebels and terrorists of the system make up a number nearly 3 times the assembled forces of Orlan and Raynor, and apparently run a great many other worlds in the outer parts of the sector. If any of these forces were to organise, to draw against you, they may rival the dominion in power. Destroying them outright may not be an option... But you wonder again to the idea of a terran Coalition, or rather, if someone with the right ideas might beat you to it if you tarry.

>Begin organising a propagandist council, add a few transmissitter arrays to the foundry queue, and send a request to the admirals for permission to transmit from the spy sattelites when the time comes
>Make contacting Raynors Raiders a priority. They are not under surveilance right now, but trapping and disposing of them, or rallying them to your cause may serve you well.
>See about organising a small detachment to visit deadmans port and see about establishing a base of operations. Hiring the local muscle would swing any battle
>set your sights on Orlan. If he can be swayed or removed, setting yourself as master of Deadmans would net a massive supply of industry and labor, as well as trained mercenaries.

Ill give this thread one hopeful and naive bump. I'm probably wasting my time as I missed my normal Monday posting, but Ill hope against hope someone is reading.

>>1402227
>but Ill hope against hope someone is reading.
The greatest despair occurs when hope is at its greatest.

Resisting the urge to squeeze out every cent that Boyd owes, you turn away from the box full of electronics and wait for him to bumble back in. A low roar comes from outside, shortly followed by your name called out. Wanting nothing more than to get this over with, you step out and prepare to try and move this along as soon as possible.


Out of the backdoor, with a toothy grin on his face, Boyd stands beside a rumbling red bike at hand. "Pretty uh...pretty cool, huh?" he somehow shouts over the engine, turning it off when it proves too loud for his wasted self. "It's a uh... Kawa-somethin', GP- uh...GPZ whatever the number on the side is. One thousand hundred. Got it from uh...where'd I get this...from. Some guy kicked the bucket or somethin', girlfriend didn' know what it was really worth. Jus' got it runnin' earlier... haven't gotten to uh, show it off yet."


Boyd holds out the keys in an inviting manner, the way he had done several times years ago.

This time, you shake your head at the offer.

"Whu'? You don' wanna ride? That's uh, that's alright. I'll jus' leave these keys in here for ya..." Boyd returns the key back to the ignition, patting the seat. "Now if you'll ex-cuse me. I'm either bout to pass out or puke and I'd rather do it uh...inside. See you 'round, Law." You wait outside, just long enough to make sure he gets inside. Looking back at the motorcycle, you can't help but wonder if he'd always been like this, or if you grew up while he tried to cling to the past.


Not wanting to waste any more time out in the dark, you give the red bike one last look before returning to your car. It wouldn't be surprise you if there was news of Boyd's early death in the paper one of these days.

...


[1/4]

The drive back to the house is short, much too short. During that time you managed to kill through three cigarettes and practically the remainder of your pack, keeping the last one for later. There's a creeping feeling in your gut, like some teenager about to go home and admit the bad things he did. Except this time, you're letting them know that their only remaining child is running away and might really never come back.


You spend much longer than you should in the dark driveway, trying to get your bearings in order. Out of desperation, you take out the notebook and start to scribble down in the pages. It takes a couple of tries, scratching out and starting over again, but somehow you manage to write down something that you consider bearable. The entire trip to the front door, you try to plan how this should all go down. Your dad already knows what's about to happen, he'll probably help keep your mom calm. Delilah should go upstairs in the meantime, and then you just have to pass over the letter you wrote. Get through that, go to bed, and then get through tomorrow till Crockett gets here. Easy enough- you've gotten through worse.


"Oh, welcome back sweetie." From the kitchen, your mother greets you without any idea of what's about to happen. She stops her search in the cabinet, your father sitting in the living room. "Can't find where I put my wine... Hm? You okay?" Not one to miss out on the smallest detail, she can undoubtedly tell that you have something heavy weighing on your chest. With a dry mouth you nod, but it's clear as day that there's something about to go down. Your mother gives up the search, coming into the living room now. Right away you search for Delilah, and the panic on your face when she doesn't show up must be more than enough to alert your mother.


"Looking for your friend? She's upstairs... Seems like she's real squeamish. Jacks was messing with one of the window panes in the garage and nicked himself. Nothing bad, just had some blood running down his wrist. I was more worried about her passing out from it, if anything. But I helped her lay down a while ago... she's been down once or twice but she's trying to sleep it off I think." You don't doubt that she's concerned about her, but her words sound stressed.


"Need talk. Both...of you." Giving a quick glance over to your father and back, you can barely stomach the look heartbreak that already overcomes your mother's face.

...

[2/4]

All you can do is sit on the couch with your head bent down, waiting for them to finish the letter you wrote out.

I never wanted to be a burden for either of you
All I've done is hurt you both, inconveniencing and using your hospitality and just bringing bad news
There's been a lot of mistakes I've made, and tomorrow night I'm leaving with the girl again
I have no idea when, or if, I'll end up coming home again


A short letter, but your mother keeps reading it over and over again. Her hand begins to shake with each read through, choking up as your father finally tries to process the fact that you really are leaving again.

"Lawrence..." your mother sobs, page still in her hand as her head collapses in them. "D-Do you really have to go...? S-So soon?"

"I'm pretty sure he does, Delilah." Your father can barely offer any comfort to her, her shoulders starting to shake as she can't even look at you.


"I'm sorry." Forcing yourself to look up at them, you repeat it again. "I'm sorry. For not...being better." It only takes a second before her arms wrap around you, refusing to let go. It continues on for some time, enough for you to return it back.

"Please stay safe for me..." she whispers, embracing you tighter, "Please Lawrence. Don't get hurt anymore..."

It's nothing you can promise, and you're sure she knows that.

...


Her tears don't stop, but your mother finally lets go. More distressed than she had been earlier, she tries to hide it anyways. "No kid wants to keep living with their parents anyways, right?' she tries to say, even if it doesn't apply to this situation at all. "At l-least you gave us a heads up this time... I'll have to make sure to make your f-...favorite breakfast then. And um..." she loses her train of thought, rubbing her temple. "I'm sure you had a long day...you probably want to s-sleep right now instead of listening to me nag. I should go lay d-down too. You did say tomorrow night, right?"


You nod, but it's still much too soon for her. She goes to the bedroom, your father getting up to follow. You expect him to just walk on by, but you're met with a quick and rare embrace by your old man. "You really do need to stay safe out there, we worry about you enough.." And just as quickly as it happens, he lets you go and you're standing alone in the living room. You're glad there wasn't more of a fight, but it doesn't make this feel any better. Tomorrow is going to be harder, and you aren't ready for it.

[3/4]

>Allison goes through the process of becoming an Apostle.
>It can't all be done in one day just like that.
>But within a week she should be ready to officially take the position.
>Veronica and Allison head back to the lab under the Grand Cathedral to clean things up.
>As for you, you've had enough of that place, and have decided to pay Clarity a visit.
>You knock on the door.
"Is it safe to come in?"
>"Y-yes.. Please."
>You see her in a big heavy coat.
"W-whats the deal with-"
>"Shh! I had a feeling you would come. Follow me, we'll take the secret passage and go out for a day!"
"S-secret passage?"
>She pulls a book out from the bookcase and it opens up.
"You know somehow I should have seen that coming."
>She giggles.
>"Come on!"

>>1401352
>She takes you out of Hausterien and into a nearby town called Fida.
>You were here many times as a child. It's a quaint little village outside of the big city of Hausterien.
>Clarity has her hair up and is wearing a sunhat and pure white sundress.
>Her eyes still that pure blue like the summer sky.
>You're sitting just outside town on a hill.
>She has a lovely picnic basket and cloth laid down.
>The warm summer air is a welcome change from all that cold you experienced up north.
"S-so, do you do this kind of thing often?"
>"I've used the passage once or twice.. But this is the first time I've really done something like this.."
"O-oh.. I see."
>"So, tell me about yourself Anon."
>You give her the cliffnotes version of what happens as you enjoy bread and wine watching the clouds pass over the quaint little village.
>She seems curious and always seems to ask more questions.
"Alright.. Now tell me about you. Whats the deal with the wings? And uh.. May I see them?"
>"Y-you.. Want to see my wings?"
"I-if it's not too much to ask."
>She stands up spreading her arms.
>The warm breeze makes her dress blow around a bit.
>Suddenly huge white angel wings sprout from her back.
"Wow! That's incredible!"
>She giggles.
>"I've been able to do this ever since I was young.. And, I suppose I've always had a knack for learning too. Once I read something, boom, it's locked up tight and I never forget! I never knew it was a rare skill till people told me that it was, and since then I guess I've always been a big fan of books."
"That's so awesome.. Hey, could I.."
>You reach your hand out toward her wings.
>She nods smiling sweetly at you.
>You place your hands on her wings.
>You feel the soft white feathers, softer than anything you've ever felt.
>Every part of you wishes to caress these wings and fall asleep on them.
>"What do you think?"
"They're so pretty! You're like a real life angel."
>She sits down.
>You sit back down as well continuing to feel her wings a bit.
>"An angel.. People have called me that.. But, would an angel really do the things that I've done?"
"Clarity, you did nothing wrong!"
>"But.. I stared at them.. Those men, I know some of them have wives.. I had those thoughts.. And so, I committed adultery."
>You sigh.
"Well, you may still be a human in that regard. But I don't think any less of you for it."
>"R-really?"
"Yeah.."
>She places her hand on yours.
>You take it holding it.
>She gazes longingly into your eyes as the sun begins to set.
>Everything seems to happen in a whirl.
>Your mind is in a haze.. Your body seems to have a will of it's own.
>You rub your hand along her soft chin.
>And then she presses her lips against yours.
>Lips locked you wrap your arms around each other.
>You stop to breathe.
>"T-this is.. The closest I've ever been with a man.."
"This is the closest I've ever been with a woman.."

>>1401353
>You resume kissing.
>The feeling of her hot breath as she gasps slightly between the pressing of your mouths.
>You fall ontop of her by accident but she doesn't seem to mind.
>With great passion you make out with her, savoring every bit.
"I know perhaps you will think this creepy.. But I used to watch you when I was young.. I would see you from afar.. I had.. I had dreams from then, dreams that right now are coming true!"
>She's blushing.
>"T-truly then, this must be Gods plan.. I've never felt so at ease around anyone.. I know it has been only a few days since we've interacted, but already I feel a fondness for you as if I've known you all my life."
"I feel the same.."
>You hug each other closely.
>The last of the sun goes down over the horizon.
>"It.. It is a shame we cannot spend more time together."
"Yes.. But it would be unwise to linger in the dark where the creatures of the night are here.. Though I would protect you with my life were anything to try and assail us."
>"Your gesture is greatly appreciated.. Today may be the happiest day of my entire life."
"And mine too. Truly nothing in this world has made me as happy as I am right now.."

Example Character:

Name: Richard
Soul: Wizard
Exiled: Killed an apprentice in training

More explanation of mechanics:
Since Richard has the wizard soul, spotting magical items receives a +5 to any roll.
This is because it involves magic which is related to his wizard soul.
There are many categories and random events that give you bonuses depending on your soul. Choose wisely.

Lets say later Richard gets an additional word: fire
Now he's a fire wizard.
Lets say he activates a trap that launches a ball of fire at him.
Before he would have received no bonus to his roll but now he gets a +10 because of how specific it is to his soul.

Souls not to choose:
God, Chair, Naruto, Fire, ect. I hope you get the idea

>>1400742
Name: Lars
Soul: Adventurer
Exiled: Caught looting tribe's ancient ruins

alright i'm back early
Good luck Lars!
Assuming you don't die, you may become the strongest here because of your headstart.
Use it wisely.

You awaken among the shattered remains of the boat that brought you here.
Next to you lies a corpse impaled with wreckage.
As you stand up to walk away, you hear a sound.
The corpse is moving!

This thread will be a bit different as it will be a continuation of the previous thread since we still need to attend to Jor and the Commanders big mission.

We can also use this thread to discuss troop designs both Legion and Reconstructed since there was talk about that in recent threads but I never got around to it (sorry)

>>1399268
Finally here for one

>>1399296
So the time line is not moving forward
Like in terms of things that are measured in the passing of threads

Can research still move forwards? It makes sence that we would make thinktanks to keep up with the expansion of things to do. Now each in game day or whatever amount of time each thread is more things need to happen that can happen in one thread
It's like civ on PC early turns are like 100 years but eventually are 1 year later in game

Am I making sense? English is hard
