Aldegar can be knocked off that list, post just went up for him.
I do want to mention something in regards to the updates though. You keep using 'you would', 'he would', 'it would', etc; but thats not the right thing to be honest. If I would do something, it means I either have not done it yet, or I will not unless a previous condition or even has been met/occured. For example: The stranger would save the struggling man from drowning, but needed to take off his expensive shoes first.
If someone/something is acting or happening then let it happen, give this would shit a rest already because it really does not mean what you are trying to post for us.
"You would barely manage to roll out of the way..." "You would hear a pistol shot..."
The above does not mean that the person manages to barely dodge and hears a gunshot; it means he would if something else happens. If he dodged and hears the shot, then say it. That single filler word changes the whole meaning and distorts what your saying. It does not help it in any way. Watch what happens without the word:
"You barely manage to roll out of the way..." "You hear a pistol shot..."
Clear sequence of things, the person dodges and then hears a shot. No other unknown condition must be met before this happens, it is, has, or will happen just as layed down.
Sorry about that, but I know I mentioned this to you before and it really didn't look like the thing clicked in any true sense. Might not have been as clear when I mentioned it the first time, hopefully this is more so.

Revan, while its always nice to see the GM NPC acting, I don't think you need to include stuff for him in the update like you do the rest of us. Its not like any of the players have control of him and need to know specifics beyond what you have our characters seeing him do, or how he interacts with us.

Hahaha, just when I thought I'd have some time off from work, to finally put in some solid RPing with you guys. Not 1 day in and suddenly more work than I've done all year comes crashing down on this week.
Shit, I haven't even been able to check out the forum for almost 2 weeks.
Sorry revan, but you'll have to kill off Maxim. But I'll catchya later in another RP some time in the future.
Cheers.

Two things:
No, Aldegar left the temple steps already; he was heading to the stables in search of horses. I made sure to say this much in the first of my two posts because like a few of the others Aldegar is not just standing there talking.
Think you mean Nysard, not Kai

Alright, update is up. Next update will be on Wednesday.
Right, the following is for if the group wishes to become something MORE than human:
I asked everyone in this rp to be human for a reason, it means that during your travels you can become something more than human (werewolf, vampire, chaos warrior ect). There will be points in the roleplay in which you can become any of these but there are limits to it.
You need to make a group decision about these things, if one of you falls to chaos so does everyone else. Vampires/Liches/Werewolves/Necromancers on the other hand, you can each become separately because you are all creatures of the night so you all have something in common and most likely a similar goal. Then again you can also remain on the path of good and become great hero's and champions of the empire in which you may get rewarded by one of the Elector counts or even Karl Franz himself.
Now, Magical weapons/Items: Yes there will be magical weapons within this roleplay but you will only get ONE each, and they wont all be weapons. For example Keira could stumble upon one of the nine books of Nagash(as only 5 are actually accounted for: 1 in the imperial vault, 1 with Neferata the vampire queen, 1 with Manfred von Castien, 1 with the vampire who has the title The Ever Living, and 1 with Hiemrick Khremllar).
Magical items/weapons will appear from time to time and to make things fair when they appear, first some first serve, though magical books/spell will of course be limited to Keira only(as she is the only one with magic).

Just wanted to note something about God-moding.
God-moding is forcing actions upon another character without their choice. Even something simple as ‘Jack shouted to Jill and she turned to look’ or ‘Bill threw a punch that hit Joe square in the face’ without gaining the player’s permission (or gm's in the case of a main npc character) to act (or react in the case of an attack) for their character is god-moding. Sometimes it is hard to avoid, but you always have to be aware that no matter how much You would like another character to do something… they are not your character and, in the end, you have no control over their actions.
This also goes for making choices for another character as well- 'Bill shouted over the battle to his squad brothers- "Cover me! I'm going in!" before advancing under a hail of covering fire... etc'. Although you might want the other characters to react to your character's request, you can't make that choice for them because you never know what they had in mind and, by forcing their choice, you have limited their ability to act as they wished.
The reason I wanted to say something about it is that I have noticed a lot of 'X runs up and hits Y' lately... a trend that I fear I might have started with my Dyanah's slapping of the main NPC. Not only did I speak to Revan before posting that, but I think we went back and forth half a dozen times with the details before I was given the go-ahead to include it actually landing in my post.
Just a bit of a pet peeve of mine I had to give voice :wink:
