Okay, that was cool, but one of the weirdest posts I've ever read - Armadalus' father used to electrocute fish!? Beo, as well having the presence of Chaos creatures suck creativity from people, are you doing something like those who are normally super-calm are quite the opposite and so on? Also, anyone want to write the last dramatic stand of Nighthunter? Well, I want you to do it. ;D If I need any reasoning for that - don't think I do though - then I'm pretty sure you're the only one who's already written Nighthunter other than NH himself. And oh yeah - you'll do it awesome! By the way, I concur that this is a rather apposite juncture at which to see who's currently available to contribute. Things had tailed off a bit before I wholeheartedly jammed a giant spanner in the works for two months, but here's hoping there's still a dwarf or two and maybe some others - already involved or not - who are up for the continuing adventure.

Yeah, it was an additional little twist that seemed logical, but also seemed a good way to get Armadalus and Sahmas out of there, and also have Armadalus reacting to the big events without it needing to be a genuine, binding reaction. Better to let his real, controlled reaction now stew... Anyway, so the idea is that initially, the 'chaos' is being sucked from people. Their baser emotions, intuition, etc so they lose some 'spark'. Only those that are very intouch with those feelings and impulses can hold on and keep creative. However, once the Creatures actually attack an area, then the 'chaos' the lucky few held on to now gets amplified. So in a way, it's a one-two punch. Either you could become too restrictive, or if you manage to hold on to that, you could then become too out of control. Funniyl, I think Armadalus, Cloe and Simey are probably able to balance between the two, all having strong intuition or secrets (in Simey's case) yet also having powerful self control (or fearof lack of control, in Simey's case) I figure Sahmas would be susceptible to the second of the two effects (becoming too fearful). I figured it highlighted the double-hit Armadalus just got by Cloe coming back and Simey's betrayal, that he temporarily lost control. N=I'm not sure what his normal reaction would exactly be, but in this heightened circumstance, as the creatures all started massing ready to attack, then he was affected by his emotions powerfully too. So yeah, that was the idea there. As the creatures got closer and closer, Armadalus and Sahmas were sudden hit by greater and greater waves of emotion. I think Armadalus can probably pull it back together, I think Sahmas would probably be caught betwwe ntow types of fear and perhaps be able to function. Poor Nightnunter - I think you were the one to suggest it's his sacrifice that allows the group to escape. We really need to quickly catalogue the commanding knights around, and have them all get wiped out or become NPCs fleeing with us

Zipp - I'll let you decide whether you answer that question of have us interrupted right there.
Well, I think it's NH/BS's desire that Nighthunter be killed off, so a heroic last stand of some sort seems fitting. The real NH - as well as his WW character - did more than anyone else to originally establish the MKC on TotS while I just made jokes about Knight Club, so he can't be allowed to go out with a whimper.
Commanding knights-wise: dunno if Simony Bryont is here - would he have come? The ones I've named are Knight-Captain Behlen, who's fine to be chaos-fodder, and Knight-Commander Gelas Fleck, who I don't want to lose at the moment - he's not the nicest of characters, but I've got a bit attached to him for the time being.

Actually, I don't know what is Al is doing, but if he could write NH's final scene, that would be great - since the two characters had already fought side by side at least once. It might be a nice little nod to that.

I'm planning to get back into WW again. Probably incorporating my return in the Dorm into it. Do I have to start a new book or new chapter? I don't have the time to read all the previous stories, ideas anyone?
Maybe trying to write a storyline to explain my absence here aka HE's sudden disappearance from the time after the battle between the Kai Fleet and the Darkland Ironclads until today?

The 'reboot' happened where we did a storyline involving everyone. Except not many people came, and it's sort of fizzled out. I would put some * * * * before your post, but otherwise post in that thread though (Book 2, chapter 1). Technically it's chapter 18 though! Edit: I just put a button on the current battle in the West Watch, so technically you could post your Hawkeye post there without it seeming strange. The storyline from the 'story so far: "When rumours of Darklord Xog being reborn near Eshnar surface, the knightly orders of Sommerlund dispatch a scouting party to figure out the truth of the rumours. Little do they know of the true evil that awaits them there, for the Chaos Master has manifested on Magnamund and eagerly awaits shedding his first blood..." The meeting setting this up (the innorgural Magnamund Knights' Council meeting) had an NPC Al reporting on the Kalte situation. Except without saying what happened (it was hinted there were few Grand Masters in attendance to hear it, but not if Hawkeye's disappearance and memory loss plotlines were resolved or still a matter for concern) Black Cat was still finishing off his imposter storyline when the new one kicked in. Wildhorse was with him. Winterhawk posted to have the Sommerswerd sent back to Durenor and a crystal beacon restored at the monastery. Other than that, the Kai Monastery is as you left it with Ghostbear holding the fort down. You can carry on the amnesia storyline, or you can simply drop yourself back in to the current one as a 'meanwhile' and use a separate backstory thread to recount the amnesia resolution as an when you want to. The knights are currently at Eshnar being ripped apart. No one would know this, only that the knights have gone to check out Eshnar. So any plotline you wiah to do only needs to pay lipservice to 'his thoughts were with the army, ands the scotuting kai with them, but meanwhile...' and then happily go your own way Al (and Doomy) were with the knights' army too. Umm, I think that's an overlong post to describe a simple situation. Just post, you should be fine!

Just post, you should be fine! Indeed so. And you might just reawaken a long-slumbering WWriter or two. This battle's a bit of a pain now that nobody's involved in it. But there must be an interesting way round it.

Lol, check the other thread - I gave my ideas on how to get out of it. It worked for Eshnar, and it can work for us once more!
Except this time, less memory loss and more 'no-one else to talk to about it for the moment'

Okay, I like the feel, but I'm going to blame big lack of sleep for slow uptaking....
So are you suggesting skipping ahead a little? Or a lot? Or actually not at all, but drawing the focus in tight and not detailing what the army as a whole does?
Moving completely beyond the Chaos story and leaving it as a gap? Keeping with the Chaos story, but from a much more limited point of view?
If there's any hope of rekindling the WW on however small a scale, I am, of course, very interested.
EDIT: Hadn't noticed the entry in the OOC thread. Have now.

It's a colloquial phrase I'm now worried I'm using wrongly.It just means to do something to finish it off. So as far as we're concerned, the battle is done, and you can post a Hawkeye post without it getting lost in lots of battle posts

Ahh, indeed you used it wrongly and got me lost. Thanks for clearing it up.
