I just realized I never got around to posting what Herald looks like (Also I hate to be picky, but you have him labelled as Chieffson, instead of Cheifsson, two S’s not two F’s)

Herald is a silver coloured Egyptian Mau with black spots. He is rather small, only 5’2” and lean, but is very toned, capable of moving incredibly fast for his size, but lacking somewhat in strength to back up this speed.

@Hebs/Bri: Well, I wasn’t sure if we were allowed to be wolves, and I didn’t want to be significantly taller, bulkier, and a fair amount stronger without reason… Plus I kinda needed a reason to be an evil bastard from time-to-time.
But if I’m allowed to be a wolf then that’s a-ok, cus now I don’t need that “magic necklace” crap.

Scientifically speaking all dogs and wolves are in the species Canis lupus, domesticated dogs just fall under the sub-species Canis lupus familiaris

@Visionary

Thanks.

On a side note: The damn colors always come out too dark, but whatever. It’s supposed to be Leather armor with a few metal plates for protection.

@Rukral
1:The picture is an edit, I even stated that underneath it.
2: I choose my fancharacter because it was allowed and because I wanted other people to be able to choose the BCB character they wanted.
3: Post your picture! Unlike yourself, I don’t take pleasure in knocking other people’s work.

@Everyone
1: Sorry for posting this here.
2: During the game: If I do something annoying, hateful, stupid, out of line, etc. Please tell me in a calm manner and I will stop. This and the MMGs are the only RPing I’ve ever done, so I’m fairly unfamiliar with this and I apologize for any future transgressions.

@Sean, dont worry so much, your new at this and just a bit overeager, just keep a cool head and try to avoid posting in these games more than twice in a row at max, lets the scenes devolp a bit before jumping in when youve already said your piece and you’ll do just fine

A summary of the story so far:

Day 1: There was a festival, and everyone was invited. Large crowds merrily wasted their days away in a celebration in the honor of the great Lord Makar. During the celebration, a dark wizard, Rienhild, appeared and attacked the king, seriously injuring him. Many heroes tried and failed to assail the powerful magic-user, but it was McCardell, the unassuming assassin, who managed to shoot the evil woman in the leg as she fled, allowing Lady Lieselotte to follow her bloody trail. However, the king called in the party, wanting them to rest before they went into the face of danger in the woods.

Day 2: The party set off into the woods, following Lady Lieselotte as she traced the trail of Reinhild. Unfortunately, some bandits, probably hired by the evil spellcaster, ambushed the party en route. Sebastian died first, stabbed in the back by a bandit as he struck out on his own, and the rest of the party circled defensively around the disguised Princess Sunday as she used her magic to defend the party. Herald was the next to fall, a magical fire burning him to death even as the powerful group of heroes made short work of the bandits, forcing them to flee. The battle was hard on Delilah, who spent the entire battle cowering behind her friends, first Dave, then Albert, and finally even the elusive assassin McCardell and Lord Makar had to step in to keep her safe, while Lily, the advisor to the king and Princess Sunday, was gravely injured. Hannibal looted the corpse of his fallen comrade Herald, claiming his weapons as his own.

Day 3: After making camp for the night, Lady Lieselotte and Lord Makar went off to a nearby river on their own. There Reinhild appeared and summoned a great shadowy dragon to assault and slay them. Lady Lieselotte was badly wounded, and by the time those awake managed to make their way there, the pair were in dire straits. Aggamemnon’s attempt to destroy the dragon led to his own death, as his powerful spell became unstable and consumed him utterly. While the thick scales of the dragon were sufficient to repel the attacks of most of the party, Dave and Hannibal managed to hamstring the great beast while Sean rushed to heal the fallen vampire. In the end, Lord Makar leapt onto the head of the dragon and, with the magic of Sean and the dance of Delilah strengthening his stroke, drove his sword in through the monster’s skull, slaying the beast. The badly injured Lady Lieselotte was carried back to camp, and the party was forced to stay there as the party nursed their wounds, several members of the party collecting the scales of the dragon in hopes of doing something useful with them.

That evening, as the party rested, Hannibal began to hear voices in his head while sitting around the campfire with Dave, Sean, and Albert; the spirit of Herald speaking to him through the dead warrior’s blades. Dave and Sean encouraged Albert to declare his feelings for Delilah, but when Delilah awoke the warrior could not quite summon the courage to do it. Lady Lieselotte, mostly recovered from her wounds, awoke to find Lord Makar had been stroking her head and, embarrassed, walked over to the fire. Hannibal insulted the deadly woman, but between Lily, Princess Sunday, and Delilah, he was only partially strangled rather than slain outright for his stupidity.

The vampire stalked off out of camp, making Delilah and the Princess follow her. She spoke with them briefly, but Delilah got too close to her and the angry noble stormed off once more, this time without the pair following her. Delilah and Sunday declared their respective adoration of Lord Makar, and Delilah spoke of Albert as well, the man who had saved her from Agammenon before. Little did either realize that Lord Makar had awoken without the Lady Lieselotte by his side and had left the camp in search of her, only to find the pair talking about him on the edge of the camp. Conflicted, the knight gave away his easedropping and fled further away from the camp. Albert heard the shout and saw the shaking trees as Lord Makar vented his anger on them, and the two spoke briefly, with Lord Makar advising Albert to pursue Delilah before the unhappy knight trudged back to camp on his own.

The pair of women on the edge of camp vacillated on whether or not to confront Lord Makar, with Delilah eventually deciding to pursue the knight and Princess Sunday, held by her station, returned to camp alone. Delilah walked up to who she thought was Lord Makar with determination, but Albert managed to undercut her a little with his declaration of love. Delilah admitted that she reciprocated, and the two embraced, holding each other for a while before deciding to return to camp together as partners. Sunday returned to camp, only to discover to her surprise that Lord Makar was already there. Speaking with him, Lord Makar admitted to his easedropping, while the Princess urged him to declare his feelings for her. He admitted to caring for her deeply, but also to feeling deeply conflicted, not wanting Lady Lieselotte to be left alone once more, as he feared the noble vampire would see his love for the princess as a personal betrayl. The princess told the knight that she would be happy no matter what, so long as HE was happy, and the pair, snuggling up, kissed.

The vampire, her anger having cooled as she stalked around the camp, was just returning as she saw the Lord and Princess’s lips meet. Exactly as Lord Makar had feared, she came to the exact conclusion Makar had expected, and ran off, crying, into the night, to feed and to vent her anger out to the stars. After Princess Sunday fell asleep, Lord Makar went out hunting with Sean and Albert for deer, but came across the vampire instead. His companions left Lord Makar to deal with the lady on his own. She at first fled from him, then confronted him, giving him an ultimatum, that he needed to choose - and to prove his devotion, join her, as a vampire. The pair kissed, and Lord Makar returned to camp to break the news to Princess Sunday.

Welp, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say I’m terrible sorry I didn’t/will not get to participate in this and that I potentially wasted a character and a card.

School has been hampering my time to be active and well, it didn’t help that every time I checked the forum for a while before going to sleep, there’d be 150+ new replies in the thread (200+ on the first day IIRC). I just didn’t have the time to back read on what was happening nor had the time to script an elaborate auto-play/command because the thread moved too fast. Timezone didn’t help either as the thread comes alive when I’m at school and dies once I’m home.

TL;DR: Didn’t have the time for it, my timezone didn’t help at making time and am very sorry about it.

Day 3 evening: Lord Makal’s admission of love for Lady Lieselotte deeply upset the princess. The sound woke up Delilah, who went to comfort her, then confronted Lord Makal for playing with their emotions.

Day 4 to evening: In the morning, Lord Makal, Dave, and Sean heard a sound out in the woods and stalked off after it. They ambushed a bandit scout, and they quickly assembled the party to sally forth in pursuit of them. The impatient Lord Makal, out in the front of the group, foolishly walked into an ambush, however, and was drug off by the bandits. The others set off in hot pursuit, Lady Lieselotte outpacing the rest. The Lady and the party each devised a plan they would execute come nightfall…

Thanks for getting me caught up, T-Dra! Nevertheless, I should probably peruse the first chat so I could get a bit more of a reference on Makar’s personality.
