  1. I would like to join this group. Books before Friends 17th Shard before the Real World Release Dates before Birthdays I would like to add, one more Sanderson Elimination before Homework I pledge allegiance to the knights Awkward
  2. I think the debtor is a good mechanic, because it forces us to decide. (I don't mean good like "oh, I love this mechanic", I mean that it serves the GM's purposes. The problem is, is that this early in the game. We don't know who the cultists are, and we don't want to lynch innocent people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hene Bata was increasingly distraught, who could he serve his, king appointed duty of being the assistant to the assistant elephant cleaner. He knew that the king would only trust a responsible and powerful noble such as him with such an important, vital task. But now that they were all catching cultists, how could he do his job? 'I know, he thought, I'll catch all the cultists and get back to work' He sat down on a pot and began to think, who did he know that had weird wind knives. He couldn't think of anybody. Aghhh, I must think harder. Edit to Fix: spacing problems with the dashes, tricky little buggers
  3. What happened next almost couldn’t be explained. Nigh simultaneously the rogue power convertor began their assault. Rainmaker’s counter- attack turned the world into a haze of wind and hail around the rogue epic. Police and crowd scattered in all directions as the Epics raged. Tonedeath heard orders for Cornucopia and some intelligence from Chase regarding some other Epic threat. Some kind of fire- epic supposedly. Tonedeath dampened the sound of the wind in a bubble around them “We need to head for the tunnels, and then to point A. We can’t fight these guys on the ground. Maybe we can give support from above, but not now.” “Got it, let’s go” Tonedeath, upon entering the city, established routes through the sewers and water ways to get to established bases. One such route was through some old water tunnels and then into the sewer system. A hole cut into the basement of a building provided access form the sewers into Base A. Tonedeath and Larry sprinted for the water tunnel that used to empty into the river. There used to be a grate, but it had been removed when the base had been constructed. A massive explosion of steam followed by multiple volleys of gunfire, erupted from the area where the spectators had just recently stood. Larry made it to the tunnel first quickly followed by Tonedeath. “Are you sure this is the best idea,” Larry asked, “I mean, Rainmaker might be angry.” “We’ll be fine, you have weapons in the base right?” “Yeah” “Perfect, we’ll be lots of help.” Tonedeath and Larry ran through the sewers, gross but necessary, until they reached the entrance to Base A. Tonedeath boosted himself up and then helped Larry in. They climbed out of the basement and began to climb the flights of stairs until they reached the top floor. They were a good distance away from the site of the demonstration. Larry let themselves in to the room that they had secured and stockpiled in. “Get two sniper rifles and meet me on the roof.” Tonedeath ordered as he pushed through the door they had made onto the roof of the old apartment building. Larry followed soon after. They looked out on the scene unfolding on the field to the east. Unbeknownst to them, they were being watched. Scott watched the explosions and chaos of the rebel beat-down from afar. There is no way that they’d drag him into that death trap. He had watched the rebel Epics begin their assaults, ‘that’s not the way to go about killing Rainmaker and the queens, you needed a plan’ he thought to himself. He was watching through some binoculars and saw two forms slipping away, he zoomed in enough to see Tonedeath’s reflective stripes, and knew he had found his target. “Now, where could you be going,” Scott mused to himself aloud. Tonedeath had been one of his targets for a while now, he had a useful purpose, but was weak offensively and defensively. He knew that the Queens of Corvallis were built on a high stack of regular humans, infrastructure, and weak Epics. He knew that in order to bring the top down, you had to remove the supports. Scott saw where the air was heading, towards the old water tunnel that they had redone. But a massive explosion of steam abruptly arose from the field obscuring his view. Scott had went down into the sewers after he learned that Tonedeath was doing something down there. Scott pulled out a hand-drawn map of Corvallis, he had traced the sewer lines in green and had marked the access point in black, to the building that they were heading for. In order to be able to get a good shot off at Tonedeath, and maybe the sidekick, Lawrence, he had to get closer preferably another similar sized building. Most windows were boarded up nowadays, so they would obviously make their way to the roof, perfect for one well placed shot. He was sitting on an old roof of a suburban house that had fallen into ruin. He boosted himself off, and began running towards a dumpster that the whole neighborhood had once used. The trash had stopped being collected, so it was the perfect place to store things. He climbed into the dumpster and dug around until he found his duffel bag. He had a few weapons inside and pulled out his sniper rifle. He began moving towards a nearby apartment building, though not the one that Tonedeath and Lawrence would enter. He entered the old building with little effort, the doors were old, and hadn’t been maintained and the windows had been quickly boarded up, easy access in almost anybodies eyes. He found the stairwell and began to climb. Tonedeath was probably already in his building, the thought made Scott climb faster. When he reached the top floor and entered one of the rooms, he realized that there was no easy way to the top, he didn’t have time to break down the door that maintenance would have used. But there was a balcony. He pushed the old screen door aside and saw a good seven foot climb to the top. He saw a better area to climb three feet over, off the porch. He slung his gun over his back and jumped, grabbing onto the old rain gutter, and began to pull himself up. But the gutter bent and began to sag beneath his weight. Adrenaline surged and he, in one motion, pulled himself up onto the roof, behind him the bolts holding the gutter together busted and that section of gutter fell away, down into the streets. Then he saw them, the pair on the roof top, they were facing away from him and were looking at the scene on the field. Perfect.
  4. Corvallis Characters:
  5. I'm learning Mandarin, I'm in Chinese Two at school, I can speak well. But writing is funky. And I'm really bad a the tones. I'll figure it all out at some point.
  6. Just read, Heir of the Void's Mechborn, in the fan fic section. Wow, amazing

  7. Man, That was awesome. That story was so good. If I could upvote twenty times I would. You seriously have a great idea, and the means to deliver it, wow. (Walks off dazed)
  8. I'm there too, but I'm the random servant guy.
  9. I finally get around to reading the Count of Monte Cristo, and then I realize that my copy is abridged, I am so angry right now

      Abridged books are a terrible tragedy, forced upon us by liebrarians to oppress the masses.

  10. Welcome to the Forums If you want to waste a bunch of time I'd play a game of Sanderson Elimination, it's found in the Role-playing section, a game is about to start called A Venture in Atium. Also, so far what is your favorite book of Brandon's? Also, Don't take the cookies Edit for Spelling
  11. You might want to change the title of this thread, seeing as that it is a huge spoiler for WoR
  12. All you guys are ruling out Shallan, but WoR Spoilers
  13. I could be wrong, it might only absorb from the user, I know, I'll Coppermind it Edit: My search came up with no it doesn't consume investure. But if Vasher left Nightblood and ran, The Lord Ruler might kill himself
  14. That's true, but also Nightblood consumes investure, so it might just absorb the steelpush
  15. Maybe he or she is a human character who delivers pugs to people who have been devastated by Epic attacks to make them feel better
  16. I'm sorry TLR, but even you can't stand Nightblood to the face
  17. Hey guys I see that there are plenty of Musicians here, and I figured I'd want to join. I play the clarinet and the alto saxophone, I also sing a little bit, but I don't have enough electives to actually take chorus, but I sang in the after school play. I just thought it would be cool to talk about stuff that most of us share, and to talk with some cool people
  18. Hey guys first post in this thread, i haven't had an unfortunate series of events like this in a long time. Okay 1) This morning I ate my cereal, and the milk was kind of funky. Literally the minute after I eat it I start to feel kind of crappy. I push through it, it wasn't that bad yet. And then comes fifth period, band class, my favorite. But I feel like I'm going to hurl the whole time, I felt super crappy. I was told my multiple classmates that I literally went green. So usually at this point I'd head to the nurse and go home. But every time I go to the nurse she basically tells me that I'm fine and that I should go back to class. Also I had a big test seventh period, that I did not want to miss. 2) I am, as I said, in the school band. A classmate of mine that plays lead alto saxophone, neglected to tell my band director that he couldn't make the festival we have tomorrow. I play lead clarinet, but I play alto in jazz band, but even then I'm not very skilled at it. So my director asks me to play his part about two days ago. The alto saxophone has a huge solo in one of the pieces and a person even less prepared than me might have to play it. I am feeling better than I was earlier today, but still I'm in a pretty big bind, I'll probably be able to go to the festival, but how often does sickness just come and go in about twelve hours. Sorry for the long post, I just have to lament my situation. On a different note: I know I want to see it so bad, I'm not as aggravated as you but I feel your pain Edit to add: BTW my upvote on your post is a pity upvote (is that what it is called?) I don't enjoy the situation you are in
  19. Just going to start MR 6 in SE, if you guys have not played a game, do it, it is so fun

  20. I think that because TLR held Preservation, it is possible that he know secrets about allomancy that no one else knows. We don't fully understand what happened when he held preservation and seeing how lots of Preservation's power is in metals are, we cannot rule out much in that area.
  21. I agree, I also think there should be some organized vanilla revolts, but not stupid riots, smart planned assaults on epics. What do you guys think?
