I didn't like it.  I f***ing loved it.

And yeah, don't worry about ghosting The Gorger a bit.  I prefer it in order to speed things up from time to time.

EDIT: Thought I should clarify though that while The Gorger was under the vampire's control for quite some time, the time frame between Sir Alexander capturing him and giving him to the crusade took a matter of weeks.  If it works better for the story though to have it be a matter of years, I have no issues with that. :)

“You either intentionally attempted to harm your own ally,…”

I wanted to clarify, that since it was a healing spell no “harm” was intended, sure some crippling pain was mixed in it, but harm? Noooooooooo! Rau did behaved like a kid, but I think Sir Walter should have been able to see, that the priest didn’t use a spell that would cause permanent or long lasting damage. I was honestly expecting the lecture to be on behavior, rather than on intent. Since I thought the intent was clearly shown: power up --> exciting new addition to his energy -->  teaching the ghoul a lesson and casting his first spell with aether!

One other thing, I thought that The Gorger doesn’t have his memories, so won’t telling him that he was a crusader once be quite significant?

As for the rest, it was quite fun to see Sir Walter huffing and puffing!  ;D

The point is still there that you inflicted 'harm' to the Gorger intentionally, whether it left a lasting wound or not.

The Gorger has fragments of his memory, so that probably wouldn't be anything new, especially since he could've looked at his old armor and seen bits of Imperial imagery.

Yeah he's aware he was a warrior in the crusades at one point.

Also: seems like an incredibly harsh lesson (on Rau's part) when The Gorger was actually on relatively good behavior, haha!  Either way, I feel like Sir Walter was pretty justified on lecturing both of them pretty harshly.  Rau caused The Gorger unfathomable pain and discomfort, The Gorger - in a fit of ghoulish rage brought on by pain - tried to murder Rau.  I'm just glad we took it that far so we could see such an explosion of Sir Waltery rage!  *EPIC ROLEPLAY HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND*

Looking forward to the reaction post.  Sir Walter finally said some things that The Gorger would respond positively to.

There are suddenly boldings and underlines on the words power and options on my post. Who did that? I kinda like the emphasis, but I didn't do that myself.


Nevermind. There's been something quietly installed on my browser that's making add connections.

Is Sir Walter aware of aether and if he is does he uses it?

He is aware of it, but he does not draw on it. He draws on a completely separate source of energy from priests or dragon priests. It's a power fueled by raw emotion and willpower, similar to it, but it is a more aggressive variation that does not require faith or a connection to the outside world. He is basically a living generator of power which he can draw upon using Techniques he has learned from all three nations.

This is why experienced tamers are powerful; they have abilities and skills that they have learned from all three of the different cultures of the human race.

Sorry I've been taking so long. I'm part of the local theatre's production of Romeo and Juliet and It's hell week, the show opens this friday, so we're rather busy. I'll get on it hopefully next week during the break between shows.

Final run of the show is this weekend, but then I've got a trip to Florida coming up next week, so there will probably be a bit of delay. I'll try to get a post to tide you over for a week out before I leave.

As you know I was late and did not manage to get a post out before I left. However, I did manage to read Stephen king's The eyes of the dragon book over the trip I was forced on and am filled with a renewed will to write, which I will have to act on tomorrow, as it is late today.

There ya go. You can go ahead and take a wild guess as to who my new avatar is after you've finished reading. I like this character a lot, I've got a lot set aside for him.

I love your characters' reactions by the way. It makes it all the sweeter that I actually know who they are and what their purpose is. I'm glad I was able to describe them without giving them away.

Alucard aside, I can’t get even a vague idea who the other guy is. My initial response to the robe and one weird eye was to think of thief, but no mask or unholy powers. Than I thought something more recent would be a better match, so I started thinking dishonored and again it is not a perfect fit, since the mask has 2 eyes and there is no yellow glow that I can think of. I checked out a few more universes that this kind of character might be a part of but to no avail. So yeah I got nothing on him.
