Posted by Starry Ice on 5/30/2005 10:31:06 PM
Maldovia's become a popular tourist location in recent times, so I thought I'd jot down a few notes.
Those Who Are Being Haunted By Vampires
Connavar - Maria (vampiress, daywalker)
Malakhi Aquistine - Avadielle (vampiress, daywalker)
Kan Brenner - Avadielle
Cain Angus - Avadielle's hounds
Marion Wyldfyre - Avadielle's hounds

I've mainly been posting in the Halloween 2005 thread, but I thought this one was worth putting here. I'll probably end up dedicating this thread to logs of interest.
Background: I don't know if you've seen Mirghul Forest Trail recently, but it's gotten very spookeh. By day it looks like Maldovia woods, all misty and creepy-like. By night, it's totally black except for a dim red light that illuminates the trail. The sounds have changed too, it's silent save for a soft wind by the ... |

(The day after Benny's Drums Along The River event. And the third time Alton, silly wussy Halfling, decided to tackle Mirghul by night with me online. The first was after the event with Miramil, and dang, I scared myself despite no DM being online to make it worse. That place is Teh Spookeh now. The second time, he was off to Ferein and had to go through by night, despite me telling him—as one of the guards—that he should wait until morning. And now this. ... |

*Stunned silence. And then...*
Sol? I don't know what you feed to your RDDs but I want some. WOW. He is coming along VERY nicely. *Wipes tears proudly from eyes*
Okay, will try to run the murder IG or, failing that, post about the murder in the B&N thread. Will also sort out grabbing the gold he gave the gypsies. *Goes back to gaping in stunned and awed silence at this man’s sheer creative eeeebilness*

He's so ebil I am dedicating this thread to keeping track of his ebilness. Previous records of notable ebilness (widow's tears, Mirghul gypsies, etc) are here.

The Story
I've been randomly messing with Willom if I've seen him IG. This is a plot that runs itself anyway, but I've been helping it along 'cause it's the sort of lunacy that's right up my alley.
Currently it's up to Act Two (the trout).
The thread James has is pretty accurate and up-to-date, so no point repeating what's said there. |

A few more brainstorming ideas, as things are starting to get rolling here and I'd like to get at least one event off before New Players Week:
Syn
Just talked to Mykal and Coruva and read Mykal's story again, so I've got a few bits and pieces of lore that are really handy that I might be using.

Alton slashed Miramil into bloody shreds with a tainted dagger. And then he turned into a shadow/creeper/halfling thingymajub and led a bunch of PCs on a merry chase through the Bloodwood and The Thundering Cliffs as he tried to go through the mirror in the ranger lodge atop The Thundering Cliffs.
Miramil's pretty much brain-dead at the moment (see |

---THE BIG PICTURE---
Blood and Nightmares
- Main plot
- Archiax will awaken and unleash lots of yummy monsters who will migrate over to Maldovia
- Vampires grow a little bolder (up until Halloween, then they go dormant again) for the bloodletting; a few victims turn up here and there, a few people start to go missing around the east coast (probably Paws, Brandibuck's recently been Drama Central :p)
- The Maldovian breeds of vampires will be ... |

+ They witnessed Maria's giant army (led by Zacch) vs the Maldovian forces (led by Avadielle)
+ As of 2-89-6 nothing beyond the south gate is accessible
+ The way will be opened up on Hallowe'en during the first event (a path that goes via the Aquistine residence)

+ The shadow giant army (an army a few thousand strong) was witnessed marching across The Great Plains, led by Zacch, by Conn, Gabriel Lighthall and Claudia.
+ Lex and Grace watched. Lex commentated and explained a little about what was going on: Maria needed Zacch because she had to figure out a way to transport the giants quietly and with a minimum of fuss. Ergo, during the day, they hide in his shadow; and come night time, they march out on their own.

The Escape

Okay. So I am thinking with Halloween of running something across the various timezones with different DMs.
The main event will be the opening of new Maldovia/Mount Valinor/Valinor Castle, the emergence of Morgaruva, the procession of the shadows and return of the shadow giants to their home, and basically me tying up the Blood and Nightmares thing.
