My goodness!

This is absolutely wonderful stuff Durelin! I say that we realize that Parkun is acting strange, but never entirely suspect his treachery until it is too late. Great job Durelin!

I'll get my post up right away.

Yay! Very glad it's approved at the moment.

Added a brief edit to the end, back with the Wargs. I went back and looked at Pio's work with wargs/wolves in 'Wolf Run', so I give much credit to her for inspiration and more...especially for the names.

Yeah, this game was kinda-sorta supposed to be like a sequel to Wolf Run.

Durelin, Kuric has a giant mace not an axe. I noticed you said he had an axe in your post. Anyway, so if I understand correctly, Toby and Parkun were together and Parkun betrayed Toby and the others and is now trying to have the wargs feast on all of us? Well Kuric will be conflicted because he wants to help but he is a bit dim witted and will think that continuing forward to kill the wargs he heard is the best way to help.

Ooh! Action and treachery!

If Parkun is being very unnormal, maybe someone should suspect treachery but banish the dark thought or not be porperly listened to, so it's kind of same if no one really suspected anything. Personally, I think it should be someone the others don't take 100% seriously. Orin would be perfect, but it would be uncharacteristic of him to suspect treachery. Maybe Lea? Or the poor Hobbit no one is listening to?

I will post some time this week for sure.

Durelin · 05-27-2008, 12:01 PM

Agh, sorry morm, very stupid of me! Will edit immediately.

And yeah, Parkun's a nasty sort.

Parkun's not an evil mastermind - he's freaking out, and will be until it's all over, one way or another, so I think it's definitely noticable. Then again, if he's seen a warg attack Toby, and somehow narrowly escaped being attacked himself, his freaking out could be attributed to that. Of course another thing the others might be skeptical of is how he escaped unharmed.

Yeah, having the person who really suspects something be someone the others won't necessarily take seriously or listen to is a good idea.

It seems a shame to let all this good healthy momentum go to wast.

If nobody else wants to make a post I'll catch us up to Kuric. However, I'm most interested in seeing how your characters react to this new twist that Durelin has made up!

I'll wait a couple days before I get my post in, that gives you guys time if you want to make one.

Durelin · 05-30-2008, 09:23 AM

Ah, don't worry now... It's only been four days, and the weekend's coming up...

I was hoping to get something done fairly soon, my biggest problem is that I'm not sure what I'm going to have Kuric do. I think that the most Kuricish thing to do would be to tell him that he left the others behind and the persue the wargs in front of him. Afterall, his adrenaline is pumping right now and he's ready for the kill. He almost has bloodlust

In fact, Parkun is lucky that the old dwarf didn't swing at him.
