    Before you are fully out the door, "Perhaps you don't fully understand what we do here. This is the Criminal Council. What you do, no matter how noble you choose to spin it, is still under our jurisdiction. And the job we would ask of you is, well, let's just say it's more in line with your skills than the last one. There is an elf in Manoloon by the name of Gafriley. He stole from the wrong man, and recovery is no longer possible. Justice, however, can be enacted. Make it so and you will have membership, and perhaps a small percentage of the fee. 100 gold, shall we say?"


    Stopping in the doorway, he turns a little bit. "I never stated my deeds were noble."

    He then thinks for a moment before responding further "Tell me identifiers of this...elf. Mind you it will still take me a bit due to having to take care of another job."

    Quote from Xenphire
    I've been a member of a lot of forums. On a couple forums I post on for DOOM and Nine Inch Nails, threads get closed and people banned without notice just if the admin is in a bad mood that day. On many World of Warcraft forums I used to post on, the amount of negativity and nonsense posted was really sickening.

    If you want some entertainment, check out Post Hell on Doomworld: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/post-hell/

    Warning: Background music starts. It's supposed to be obnoxious.


    Obnoxious is an understatement. No wonder people go blind, and it's not to ... adult things. LOL

    Reading the 'rules' for workshop, it's funny that it says:

    General Rules

    Do not do any of the following:
    Flame or insult other members
    Bypass any filters
    Abuse or encourage abuse of the Reputation, or Post Reporting Systems
    Post personally identifiable information (i.e. name, address, email, phone number, etc.)
    Bump threads
    Derail a thread's topic
    Post links to phishing sites
    Post spam (i.e. +1, 10char, rickrolls) or Re-post Closed, Modified, Deleted Content
    Repetitively post in the incorrect forum (example: trade requests belong in trading forum)
    Openly argue with a moderator


    Seriously...the two bolded ones are like "Uhhh...okay, but if your bumping by responding to it, then what's the problem? And Openly argue with a mod? What if they start it?"

    Bleh, it's no wonder I don't respond to anything in there.

    First you're busy, then I'm gone, now we're all back. Let's see what happens.

    You return safely to Darkwall (+1B) and seek out the Criminal Council hideout, where Arthur is eagerly/impatiently waiting for you. "Oh, good, finally. I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about us. Well well, that's a shiny thing, isn't it. Excellent. As promised, your bounty in Begrina will be voided long before you could even hope to arrive there on foot. If you wish to join our ranks here in the Council, though, you might wish to stay a while. You have proved much with this heist. Another, simpler job would suffice to prove you're worthy of admittance."

    (Darkwall: A mostly mountain-locked city that feels itself like a fortress. Its citizens are wary of outsiders after the War of Rites all but destroyed the city. But Darkwall was rebuilt to withstand mighty armies, with tall walls, archer’s parapets, and every structure forged from the darkest of stone. They say that at night, you cannot even tell you are approaching the city as the black walls blend into the darkness all around. Within the city walls, keen adventurers will find the Pitch Blacksmith where they can buy weapons or perhaps convince the shopkeep to upgrade what they own. They could also see if any tasks are required by the city at Castle Darkwall. For those who believe in him, there is a Chapel to Arkho. Weary adventurers can attempt to rest at the often-hostile Crossblade Inn. And throughout Darkwall’s narrow alleys, crime and dark magic have a strong but subtle presence.)


    "Sometimes it takes patience and finesse to obtain what is necessary."

    He then thinks about what is being offered to him and looks back at "Arthur" and shakes his head "So you want me to prove my worth to you, by doing a simpler task. And what might this task be might I add, that is considered 'simple' to you..." and then stops mid sentence, thinks and says "Even though there is no honor among thieves, I am not. I am an assassin and have another job to do to further myself. If you want me to do something, you can come seek me and offer me what you are willing to pay to do it."

    He then begins to walk out of the council chambers.

    Ordishi

    OOC: Remember, stuff here is not what it seems to be.

    The horned man looks and points south to the gate, "Just pass through to get to Fa-Halloum. Sure you didn't just come from there? For cities here, we have a few villages, some are struggling far off, but no big places. Fa-Halloum is for that."


    OOC: I know. I haven't taken that out of mind. Just difficult to do ninja stuff when your doing a single color. Slant Guess I'll have to improvise since black ninjas tend to be more graveyard/discard orientated which doesn't help with information gathering, LOL. Smile

    Looking directly at the horned creature, unflinching, he signs "So tell me more about this place. I know there is more. And what did you mean by "Late"?"

    He then looks around even more, but keeping an eye on that bridge. He is intrigued by this ... horned creature.

    Sigil of Consequence 1BB
    Enchantment (R)
    Whenever a player casts a spell, that player puts a -1/-1 counter on up to two creatures they control.
    If a graveyard has five or more creatures in it, you may sacrifice Sigil of Consequence. If you do, all creatures get -1/-1 for each creature in all graveyards until end of turn.
    "Never underestimate what consequences your actions will have."

    Ordishi

    The red-eyed fellow seems to not care about your ignoring him, but narrows his eyes when you begin signing. He stares at you for a few moments, appearing to be concentrating, before he replies, "Sphere is called Heliddern. You are near one of the most successful townships. We raise a lot of sheep, and sell them to Fa-Halloum, on the other side of the bridge," he points at the bridge to the south, "You lost?"


    Looking at the creature, interested in seeing that he understands, as it's fairly rare, but then again, to each sphere their own. He proceeds to sign "I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't. I have no idea how I got here." as he points around. "Tell me, how do I get to this...Fa-Halloum or the nearest city?"

    Name: Ordishi
    Race: Demon
    Class: Ninja

    Personality: While he LOOKS evil, and often times is, he actually is the lesser of most evils. He believes that there is a consequence for everything. He is usually the first to make it possible for that consequence to happen, or to be the consequence itself.

    Background: The sphere that he grew up in was that of harsh and cruel punishments for those that disobeyed. His was the movement of his mouth to his left hand for speaking to much. Now he doesn't speak. This is when he learned about the consequences for one's own actions. Because of this, he worked his way through their caste system, and after several hundreds of years of fighting and learning various weapons and movements, is now known as a "Demon of Consequence" throughout their sphere.

    Trait: Speed
    Hindrance: Mute

    Appearance: Ordishi has dark grey skin, leathery wings (usually folded), spines running down his back of varying length. He also has no mouth in the 'usual' spot (it's actually on his left clawed hand).

    A peaceful meadow extends out before you as far as the eye can see, beneath a pitch black sky. You arrived here just a short while ago, but it seems it is night on this sphere. Looks pretty unremarkable. Just grazing lands broken by a few trees and what looks like a mountain to the south.

    However, as you look, two lights jump out at you through the gloom. A pair of eyes. As you look, you notice that it's a pair of eyes, and they've noticed you. It takes about five minutes for them to close the distance to you, they were a long ways off, but when it gets close, you see that it's a humanoid creature with a single horn protruding from it's forehead, and it's red eyes glowing fairly brightly. Looking you over, it asks, "Hello stranger. Arrived a little late. Are you lost?"


    Looking at the humanoid, he scans it briefly before looking around at where he's at, trying to get his bearings, completely ignoring the creature while he does so. He then paces around, trying to get a feel for the ground below him. He suddenly stops his pacing and looks at the creature speaking to him, he signs to him "Where am I?" and awaits a response (if any).

    I dunno. I've been running Chainer, Dementia Master and Sliver Overlord reliably, but that's just me. It does really depend on your strategy for the colors that you are using. Most of mine are budget (except the fact that I did just trade off a Voice of Resurgence for a few cards since I rarely ever play WG), so that has to be taken into consideration as well.

    It would be really difficult to determine a Tier level with so many choices that can be made with EDH. Would it be nice? Sure, but it would be a lot of hassle in this regards and many people would disagree with various choices.

    I guess your best bet would be to watch who plays what and go from there.

    CARD EVAL
    Card: For that mana cost and rarity, I should be able to get all four of these. It seems incredibly rare that one would ever not choose the last mode, and then it's just a matter of whether the -1/-1 counter also kills something. The +1/+0 is so trivial compared to the rest, as well. 7/10
    Flavor: So… which modes are you choosing? I'm going to go ahead and tell you that it's the first and last because that's the only way this works, even though it conflicts with your narrative. I get that you made an assassin-y card for an assassin-y thing, but the connection needs to be more solid than that. 7/10
    Score: 14
    Difficulty: 18 14
    SUCCESS (Mana Spent)
    EXP Gained: 3 (This low EXP is because I cut you a break on the difficulty because I felt bad re: your IRL emergencies and such and want you to be able to catch up, plot-wise.)

    You take the diamond, leaving the body in the trailer-office-thing and disappearing in the least civilized direction: North to Mooncrest Slope (+1:symwb:).

    This hilly region gets its name from its crescent curve, which resembles the moon in its sliver form. This mystical natural shape has made the place a haven for traveling ritualists who think the ground itself is in some way hallowed. Given the odd creatures that sometimes roam these hills, they might be onto something.


    OOC: Thanks. I promise that I will try to do better, just haven't had my mind into the game, even though I really want to play, so I try. LOL

    Stashing the diamond, he nods to himself and then makes his way back to the people who want this by way of Manoloon (City), Moon Road (South), Moon Road (Center) and into Darkwall. He keeps low key as to not draw attention to himself and keeps the diamond and gold he has close by and out of sight of others.

    OOC: So he will ultimately be going North, West, North North, West to Darkwall, if there are no encounters, and if I'm correct of where he has to go to return the diamond. Again, I'll have to double check, but for now, this is the direction he will be going.

    OOC: As this continues I get less and less sure of the logistics of what is happening…

    You sigh and lean against the door having been given your 30 Gold for the Iron. You don't see any other exits, but you are feeling roguish enough (+) to possibly even invent your own. Rolfund prepares to go back to the crowded camp for the night. This is your final chance before you have a crowd to deal with, too.


    OOC: Well, I am hoping you gave me what I needed to make a decent card. Plus I had IRL emergencies to deal with, so I had to stall a bit. Slant Sorry about that. LOL

    Seeing as there is no other exits, and Rolfund is beginning to want to walk away, he quickly pulls out a blade and slashes his throat, searches the vest for the diamond, pocket the diamond and vanish into thin air and away from the camp.

    I'm giving you a pass on not navigating per the rules since I'm so slow during my vacation, but in the future, when traveling through space, please say how. As such, I won't be posting all apt Nav entries.

    You take to the skies and fly to Orion Hub (+:symwb::symwb:).

    NAVIGATOR:
    ORION HUB (Station) == Borders: Korbuska (Planet, Spaceport: Robuskall), Virn (Planet, Spaceport: Cobo)
    A medium-sized military-built space station with very little lingering military presence and high recreation and trade value. It includes soldiers’ quarters, a cantina, a personal armory/shop, a ship armory/shop, a droid stall, a cloning center, and a biosphere. One travels from level to level via converted freight elevators. The clientele of the station nowadays tends to be higher-end, though some seedy types still make their way around.

    You take a look around: Everything is sleek and well-lit, with advertisements rather than orders blaring over the speakers. It's like a residential, well-secured mall floating in the middle of space.

    You take the elevator to the cantina level and enter the cantina. A grand mix of drinkers, gamblers, musicians, dancers, businessmen, etc. from all species and sectors inhabit the place. A familiar tune is playing when you enter, the same song you remember from that one cantina from that other place…

    You see a human man holding the wrist of a female Tirlee, a traditionally beautiful humanoid species with superior intellect and no hair anywhere to speak of. "Ah, excellent, you must be the lucky sap," Draken says. "I'm Draken, and this is Carliah."

    "A pleasure," Carliah curtseys.

    "Carliah seeks passage to Komanion, on planet Iri'leth. Honestly, I can't remember the full way there but I know it takes you past planet Urpion if you follow short routes. But keep an eye on her. She can be trouble."

    You take her hand and walk away, thinking, perhaps a little gleefully, how it's going to be a very tight fit in the cockpit.


    OOC: Sorry, the navigator thing still kind of throws me off a bit. Slant

    As he takes Carliah with him, he looks over and asks her "What kind of trouble are you anyway?", while not making any stops along the way back to his ship. Once at his ship, he searches for the shortest route to Iri'leth (via his Navigator?) at the least, by way of Urpion before taking off

    (OOC: So that way I can at least give you a route)

    You begin to compliment the vest, seeking a way to get it in your grasp for even a moment, but he doesn't seem to be letting it go. Your frustration swells within you (+1:symur:)

    OOC: Deathtouch would require an attack, and while I haven't given you stats on him, its presumable that he has power of at least 1 and thus would probably kill you back unless you had first strike. Also, the office is relatively private, but not soundproof or locked.


    OOC: Well the first strike part is easy enough, LOL.

    Seeing as the door isn't locked, he wanders around a bit while waiting for him to (OOC: I am assuming here) hand him the gold for his mining. He then sighs and leans against the door as if he's becoming a bit impatient. He also looks around for a potential secondary escape if necessary, or in other cases, prepare one.

    He looks at his Navigator to locate the Orion Hub Cantina and then proceeds to head that way.
