It’s perhaps not a good idea for him to go by himself. We do try and keep some level of “realism”, in that fact that if someone is very powerful you would not be expected to beat them. Zacharias is meant to be very powerful, and going up against him by yourself would result in failure if it was to play out properly.

 

[Lord of Ravens]

Perhaps if Zakharias has allied himself with Nagash, you can fight him in the fianl battle. That way we can get to the grand final a bit sooner.

 

[Count Darvaleth]

I realise all of this, and have sent a PM to DoN regarding the issues you have raised. If he gives his consent, I will write up the story of Drake going to the Forest of Shadows, which, if he accepts it, can be put in some supplement Section or something. But just for the moment, could nobody try and chase after Drake? Because if DoN agrees, I'm afraid it would be a waste of your time and would confuse others.

I just beg for your patience.

 

[Mr Nightwere]

Good thing you left Other wise Vaskatchi would have gone for the jugular and then no one would be happy... good thing I was away.

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Bah I would have turned into a wolf and eaten you. You're just lucky Drake got bored.:tongue:

 

[Order of the Blood Dragon]

Now now children, you really shouldn't have been fighting since that would have started a bigger fight and the best vampires would probably win. Course I'd just sit on the sidelines watching.

 

[Sweeney Todd]

Since chapter 52 is still open, I think it should be ok for Peter and Todd to carry on talking a little bit more since Todd is the 2ic of sorts.

 

[Ghouly]

Ghouly is Back and I got my net fixed so I can post more. how about we have a bunch of simons goons drag Graveclaw in in chains

 

[Trevy the Great]

Yay! Ghouly!
Good to have you back!

 

[Order of the Blood Dragon]

'It's good to be back' so cliche I know, sorry guys.

Having read a fair bit of graveclaw's dialogue I have to admit I've been impressed so far. Seriously, he reminds me of Wei Yan in Dynasty Warriors (pretty much graveclaw in a human form)

 

[Sweeney Todd]

Yay! Ghouly's back! I'm not the only Strigoi any more!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Great to see you back Ghouly! Finally looks like things are getting back on track.......wouldn't it be great if we could get everyone back who ever posted for the final battle?

I think your idea of being dragged in......not too sure. I think Graveclaw has been downtrodden too much, he should stride in from the forest and rejoin the Council.

It would also be good if other player can actually react to Graveclaw more like he looks. He is the tallest and the most muscle bound of all the vampires. IF he chose to he could rip most of them apart bar the likes of the Duke and Vekarin, so he should come across much more intimidating than some have been making him out to be.

With no insult to Ghouly's RP skills intended, the problem with this is that he just isn't behaving in an intimidating way... yes he may look the part but he isn't being taken seriously because he doesn't make people take him seriously.

Take the Nexeternus chapter for example; Graveclaw spent a lot of it just hissing insults at Simon and Mircea, which isn't all that scary... instead I think Ghouly needs to unleashed a bit of Graveclaw now and again to actually make the others intimidated... Vekarin does this a lot better, i wouldn't have my characters pick a fight with Banespike because the character actually kinda scares me... Graveclaw just doesn't.

As you pointed out DoN, Graveclaw could seriously damage and kill a fair few of the Council members if he wanted to... but this needs to come across better in the RP itself


That might said harsher than it was intended, and in no way was I criticising Ghouly's portrayal of the character but aggressive, powerful characters need to be RP'd in an aggressive, powerful way.

 

[Trevy the Great]

Yay! I'm scary!
Woohoo!
...

Dang, I think I just blew it.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Is no one else posting?

 

[Malatith the bloody]

How do I get myself into the story.o.o

 

[Order of the Blood Dragon]

Your character looks a little tough, look at some of the characters and you should see that it takes thousands of years for vampires to get as good as yours is and it requires focusing on getting better to be so skilled at those characteristics, your guy could be good at certain things but not that high in all stats.

Maybe reduce them all a bit, but add that he can persuade people to his side, that would explain how he got so powerful in his city and would explain how he got humans to fight alongside skeletons, which sounds kinda hard to me. Just my two pence (not cents)

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Oh yeah, added to the above RUDE PERSON'S comment, you're "about 4th" generation? How, exactly? Where you half-born or something? You have to be the 4th generation, like this: A father, a son, a grandson, a great-grandson. They are 4 generations. How do you manage to go in the middle somewhere? Like, halfway between a grandson and great-grandson? A feotus? See my point?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Oh yeah, added to the above RUDE PERSON'S comment..............

In what way was the comment rude? Order of the Blood Dragon's comment was bang on as far as I am concerned. Your character's stats are generally too high for a 4th gen.

Remember that 5 is considered average for a vampire lord - so what is the justification for your vampire to be much more powerful?

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Oh no, he was rude in another thread. :tongue: The comment was not rude, the person was. Grrr.

 

[Malatith the bloody]

Yer, i wasn't really concentrating when I did it.
And I said about 4th gen becasue he doesn't know who bit him, I'll change him, I feel really stupid now.

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Don't feel stupid I wasn't sure what the whole generation thing was so I just guessed and wrote 4th. I only really understood it after, at least you understood it beforehand! And yeah, as for the "who bit me?" point, you could still include that, but just put sire as unknown and Generation as "Unknown but power indicates 4th Generation" or something like that.

We all make mistakes (such as hippo genocide :mad2: ) but at least we can learn from them. As to how to fit you into the story, you could have just heard of Vlad's resurection and come to see if it's true. I'm sure your character will be great!

 

[Sweeney Todd]

The stats look much better now. Could I kindly ask that you work on the spelling as well? A bit of a pet peeve of mine, as the greater the amount of punctuation/spelling/grammatical errors a post contains, the more unpalatable it is for mine eyes to digest.

 

[Ghouly]

Not everyone is a 5-star writer Sweeny I'm sure he is doing his best

 

[Order of the Blood Dragon]

Yeah Darvy lets take this argument outside the TVC
If you need people to do spelling and grammar checks then just say so, I would be willing to help, I'm not exactly a spelling expert but I could help remove the majority of mistakes so it makes sense and is legible... to most
