The Unknown Ajah Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) The officer at the border wore an expression of attentive boredom, with more emphasis on boredom than attentiveness. There were few men manning the post, no more than five. Little competition for the Monks. "Kind sir, can you please state your name and purpose in coming here?" The monk, ignoring the officer, calmly grabbed an axe, not a hatchet or some other axe that could be used to cut wood, it was an axe of war. It also was clearly not meant to be thrown, the Monk either didn't know, or simply didn't care as he threw the axe with blinding speed at the man in front of him. More Monks stayed behind him, unmoving, it was considered the prerogative of the highest ranking Monk to take the kills. Moving faster still than any human, he dashed forward to grab his axe, snapping the kneck ot yet another officer while moving. That left three. With his axe again in hand, the Monk split another man in half before blocking the attack of yet another officer in the same motion. The man who had just attacked swept his blade back to slash at the Monk's side. When the Monk moved his axe to block the blade, the swing turned out to be a feint that reversed to cut at the Monk's head. However, attack failed to draw blood due to a faster than human duck. The Monk then cut diagonally, beginning at the man's shoulder and traveling to his hip. The man fell to the ground, the Monk was surprised by a stab forward from a a silver skinned man. The blade moved in a complex motion, slashing diagonally, then making a circle, then slashing in the opposite direction diagonally, then cutting at the face, the in to conflicting curves before slicing at the feet. After that last swing, a bright light flashed forward, killing the Monk. The man stared at his sword in disbelief. While he was absorbed in his awe, another Monk stepped forward and beheaded the man. "Ignorant men have no idea what they fight, to Elantris we must go." The Monks stepped over the body and across the the border into Arelon. During the skirmish, a sign had fallen. It read, "Welcome to Arelon, home of Elantris." _____ Hafbjorn has died, they were a Dakhor Monk and a fictional character. Five Guardsmen have died, they were innocent bystanders.

Mat Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I’ll play. You should probably reformat the thread title to actually say ‘Quick Fix 57’ instead of ‘QF’. Though the future threads can have QF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shard of Reading Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) I'll join. Are there PM's in this game? I'm assuming not because you didn't put anything in the rules, but I'd still like to make sure. Edit: Also, when does this game start?

MintSilverTea Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Many warnings beforehand: a.) I know nothing about elantris, just kind of wanted to join a game b.) I haven't played this before, so I'm just assuming it's like Mafia. Sorry if I mess up somehow. c.) I'm a student, so might miss a few cycles here and there. Most likely won't happen, but is a possibility. ...can I still join the game? I'll join as Zephyr the bard. Sings songs about things no one quite understands, with a fondness for fruit and a tendency to always be broke. (Sorry for the blatant referencing, is this legal? I can change it if not...) Hello there... would you like to hear a song? I know many songs... don't cross me or I'll give you a taste of the melody of eternal sleep.

You don't really need to know about the flavor of the current game, although it can be helpful for RPing. We also tend to spoil lots of things, as a minor warning. It's like mafia, but with a bit more reasoning and discussion than the in-person version. As to the last, this game will likely go for 4-5 days, so I'd say if you can commit to being active for 4 out of the 5 potential days (although being active the whole game is clearly the best result), then sign up. Otherwise, I'd wait, since inactive players can mess up game balance by quite a bit, especially with a low player count to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Leo floated. Or... at least that's what it felt like. He wasn't sure where he was anymore. But wherever he was, it was nice. No worries. No pain. So he stayed where he was, feeling... nothing. Ignoring the nagging feeling that he was supposed to do something. Because if he listened to the voice, he would have to worry again. Feel again. And so he stayed. Scared of what he was, but terrified of what he might become. Wish I had the time to play again, but I'll just have to spectate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
