Three Random Ideas

 Disclaimer: This is a fan fiction, I do not own the setting, deities, or locations involved. I do not plan to make money on any of this

The Blizzard Walkers are a small holy order. They seek out hidden catches at old ruins, weather they be Giant, Humankind, or other. Going off the grid for long stretches of time, wandering blind threw the wode. When the Blizzard walkers return to a settlement, no matter the size they will share the knowledge they have found in there travels.

It is no surprise really that to become a Blizzard Walker, one of the trials is to walk into a blizzard and make it out alive. If one can find the knowledge of a Blizzard one can find knowledge anywhere. They Believe that the more dangerous the knowledge, the more dangerous it is to have it in a location known by everyone is a disaster waiting to happen. That is why the last trial of the Blizzard Walker is how to give Sirsex the location of the knowledge they have hidden, so that no one but Sirsex knows where the information is located.

The Dogma and Deity that they follow and truly align with is that of Sirsex. There is nothing wrong with hiding your true intentions, tied with the fact that people do not tend to look deeper than surface level. The name and the trials should be enough to keep the true mission hidden. Everyone, Giant, Humankind, and the Wode has lost knowledge that needs to be either found or hidden better, and no one does that better than those who Walk the Blind parts of the world.

Ah you want me to thank me for saving your life and your wagon. Well to be honest we just happened to be travellers heading down the same road at the same time. It was no trouble at all.

Oh, That is interesting, some one of my age moving the way I did to defend us is not normal.

You want to know how I learnt to kill so well? See, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Well okay, I will tell you on one condition, you keep the ale flowing. Deal? Deal. So way back 300 or was it 400 years ago. A few of the Gods got together and made an organization. Yes there was the war against the giants, but there was other dangers of the world.

Yes the world is still dangerous now, just imagine before when we were fighting for a chance to make a place here. Hence what happened tonight.

Hmm. You want to know the name of the organization? That is a fair question.

Under the light of the moons, in the long shadows of the night, no danger shall escape for we are those who protect the roads. We are the Xanredor Sentinels. It is a rather fitting oath, and name.

Oh the name doesn't make sense to you? Well its simple, really. The Xanredor Sentinels are named after the moons: Xandarin, Eredin, and Orojor. As the oath stated, we are an organization that operates mostly at night.

Never heard of us? Oh well this is a large land and we do our best to protect all of the roads. Even if the people needing protecting are the giants. With how much roads there are and how few of us there are I can understand you never hearing about us.

Which of the Gods created the Xanredor? That is another good question. I knew you where you where a smart man when we started travelling to Rindelton together. That is something your not really going to believe either. But for protecting humankind you got Sillelio, remember this was before she went made. For operating in the darkness of shadows you had Anethrex. Yeah I know it doesn't make sense, but I trust those that told me, for they where there.

Then you had of course Nemevena for the operating at night which is her domain, and you can't have a warrior clad without Biezen's support. Oh?

Hmm? How did I learn this? Well Not only did I have a master and a few other apprentices beside me, I also managed to survive long enough to make it to the Convergence and talk with the members that I mentioned earlier. The ones that where there when the organization was founded.

Whats Convergence? Well what else would you call it when all three moons converge in the sky at the same time and are all (Full or new) moons? It only happens every fifty four years and two hundred and eight days. I being a human was lucky to make it even one, I am now way to old to make it to the next one.

Name: Fivin Liakeer Race: Wood-Elf Gender: Male

Age: Somewhere over 600 Location: Unknown Class: Ranger

Fivin after having spent a good chunk of his life fighting in the three hundred year war helped his friends lineage Rindelton set up a place for people to be safe. That was his life for a good while, but eventually Fivin got tired of being one of a token of people who had seen the war and just talked to as if he was well past his prime.

He just simply left his home in the middle of the night during spring and moved into the Wild. Figuring if he died there he at least would die on his own terms rather than on other peoples. Building a log cabin and harvesting fire wood keeps Fivin in good shape.

With the use of the magic spell Good Berry and making sure to replant trees when he cuts them down for firewood in the winter, Fivin has a what he would call a good life. It is also easier to avoid reverting back into being in the war again when your away from the distractions of city life.

There are times when he thinks what his kin think, if they consider him dead. There are times he considers just abandoning his cabin and heading back to Rindelton, due to the fact that by now he is probable forgotten. Though that brings up other issues like how does he prove to anyone he is who he says he is. Or how does he make money.

There are other times he considers trying to find a wood elf settlement to spend the last years of his life, but that brings about other issues. Such as having never been good at remembering where things are. Wondering aimlessly through the world to find people does not seem like a good idea.

The Family loves, the Family Protects

Team name: The Vafelier Vanguard

Home base: Pettit-ville, Ouest France

Members: five full time members, One Part Time, One former

Species: Fey, Demonkin, Angelkin, and Mutated

Threat level: Country

Notes: If they ever started fully trusting each other they would be a full global threat

Aura:

: Full Fey

: Mage :

Do not let her young appearance fool you, she is older than any human. Do not let her immature actions full you either, she is very well versed in her craft. For a prime example, her favourite way to great new people is to set off a harmless magical explosion in there face, for the soul reason that explosions make her happy. She is a mischief maker who can level a city block with her power.

Best to distract her with Trinkets if need be.

Lady Eleanor, Governess of Pettitville

:Angelkin:

Like all of her species she is a master of words, though she seems to be even better at it than most. Her words can do more than just move people, to the point where her words can physically hurt a being. There are even rumour that not only did she use her silver tongue to get her position of Governess, but also has killed numerous foes with her tongue.

The best way to deal with her is to find a way to silence her. The bonus of this methodology is the silence, if done well, can hamper both of the mages.

Note: It is known that Eleanor has at least three kids

Lark

:fey:

:mage:

The former member, presumed dead. If still alive he is even more of a use cannon than Aura, though his spells seem more focused than Aura's explosive magic. The total extant of damage that Lark would be able to do, or the mental state of Lark is an unknown.

Liber

:half-Fey:

:Unknown:

This being is not an ordinary being, the full extant of what he is eludes us for now. What we do know that he has much more power than his body can fully contain. There are plenty of times when this power boils out of his body and affects the world in weird interesting ways.

We do not know the true extent of his power, or if he is a plan mortal, but from our research it shows that he is a extraplaner being who has put a some type of spell on themselves to surpress all there power. We do not know the full extent of his power, approach with caution

Nux

:Mutant:

:Shapeshifter/Speedster:

Also Known as: Edward, Mz Francine, Jester, Lord Kendrick the Third, Odysseus Ord,

His shapeshifting allows him to take on the appearances of other people. With the fact that it requires him to shed the skin like a snake, but at a much quicker speed, causes Nux to have a very high appetite after eating. There are rumors that he alone keeps several restaurants open in Pettitville.

He has several black black belts and even though he knows how to do all sorts of martial arts, he prefers to kick people at high speeds. See both the tactics for dealing with speedsters and shapeshfiters in the reference guide.

Note: Seems to be married to one of the restaurant owners in home-base, under the Edward skin

Spyndra

:Mutant:

A talking spider the size of a tank who likes the taste of pastries. Otherwise no different than any house spider.

Velphira

:Demon-Kin:

She avoids the powers of her race and instead decided to find a way to be powerful on her own. She is a master of all weapons to the point she can pick up anything and beat some one else who has trained there whole life in melee combat. To reiterate avoid melee combat with Velphire.

Wears a scavenged powered exoskeleton which means she is the teams air support.

Also seems to be second in command behind Eleanor

For further reading on exact powers and abilities see the individual files on each member of the Vafelier Vanguard.

Kalihar Stalcast Ustok – Thracian -------- Aula Valeria Messalinus – Roman

Salvius Septimus Pompolussa – Oscan -------- Pompo Faustina Proculinus – Umbrain

Metie Tiberius Catulus – Etruscan -------- Titia Aemilia Clemntillus – Etruscan

Aemila “I can finally put this whole fighting for a living thing behind me. Before I go I have a few things to say.”

Valeria - “Just shut up and leave. You retired, no one wants ya here.”

Aemilia - “First off, lose the anger. You are very good in the arena, and get tons of kill, so you have no reason to be upset.”

Kalihar - “Yeah, just relax. The only place to get anger is the arena, teammate.”

Aemilia - “You might be have the shiniest armour out there, but it doesn't matter when you cant get the kills. You need to be more angry, period.”

Kalihar - “I am just getting my stride, don't worry about me, cha.”

Aemilia - “Anyways, Tiberius, you used to be an upcoming scary. Than the same thing that happened to me, happened to you. You learned magic missile.”

Tiberius - “I may not be as scary as Fasutina over there, but I still have a better record in the Arena than you.”

Aemilia - “Faustina is scary, and probable the best gladiator this ludus will ever have, to bad she is half way to retirement now. “ - Tosses her equipment down in the corner with all the other loose gear and exits stage left.-

Tiberius finally breaking the awkward silence - “She did have one point, Valeria, you might not have the bow you won, which is wrongly named, but you actually are as scary as Faustina. Though with your whiny attitude no one takes you seriously in this Ludus.”

Kalihar - “Yeah I told you to chill out and calm down.”

Septimus - “Hey, why don't you come give me pointers on the bow? I rather not end up like Kalihar and have no teeth in my attacks.”

Aemilia - “Yeah, lets take out our new horses for a spin.”

The two of them exit stage left.

Tiberius - “Ah the young bonding over horses, its so sweet.”

Faustina sneaks in stage right, and creeps up behind Kalihar. Tapping him on his shoulder, and giving him a little friendly wave when he turns around.

Kalihar bolts out stage left with a look of panic on his face.

Tiberius - “What did you do that for?”

Faustina shrugs and hands Tiberius a paper. “Orders for both Arenas.”

Tiberius looks puzzled as he looks down and reads. After a few minutes of reading states “Oh, Chariot Racing is thing now.”

Looking up he notices he is all alone in the common room. “So I guess this means I have to buy the new equipment for two of our three Charioteers, because of course our ludus is trying out three different strategies. One of them being to send a chairoteer out with the most basic equipment. Of course that is what happened with Valeria, Septimus and Kalihar. Three different strategies there, and than Septimus strategy got rolled in with Valeria. Seems Archers are the way for the future.”

Looks down at the note one more time. “Oh, looks like it is redemption week for me and Kahilar. Guess I should go find him and tell him to be ready for the Arena.”

Septimus exists stage left.

Kalihar Stalcast Ustok – Thracian -------- Aula Valeria Messalinus – Roman

Salvius Septimus Pompolussa – Oscan -------- Pompo Faustina Proculinus – Umbrain

Metie Tiberius Catulus – Etruscan -------- Titia Aemilia Clemntillus – Etruscan

Kalihar - “You guys did good out there. I hope I get to go back out there soon and get the kills. You guys seem to be good at the kills.”

Valeria - “Shut up. Just Shut up.”

Septimus - “Just because he needs a better chest plate than the old worn out one he has, doesn't mean he won't go out and get the kills when its his turn in the arena.”

Valeria - “You can just Shut up too.”

Tiberius - “What seem's to be your issue, young one?”

Valaria - “My Problem is I won the battle for the Mage Forge, and they make a Bow in honnor of an Archer winning the match, and what happens?”

Tiberius – “They spell your name wrong?”

Septimus - “They gave me the bow?”

Valaria - “They spelt my name wrong!?!” *Flips the table and walks out of the room.*

Aemilia - “You guys sure know how to push your team mates buttons. And as you know Tiberius it could always be worse.”

Tiberius - “You mean how the manager of this Ludus gave us both a spell that we focus on, instead of what we do best? Or you mean how the first gladiator to grace this Ludus didn't get anything besides equipment for the first half of there Career?”

Aemilia - “Both of those are issues this Ludus has had yes. Both of those issues has costed this Ludus what it cares about the most: Kills.”

Tiberius - “So? The new generation, Both Valeria and Septimus are doing very well in the kill ratio. They are causing us to be one of the top Ludus with kills. Top four I believe. It doesn't matter who has what equipment, or what name the equipment has as long as the Ludus is achieving its goal.”

Aemilia - “Tiberius you never did understand how people feel, its why it was so easy for me to convince you to became a gladiator.”

Kalihar - “Hey, we are one small Ludus, we are supposed to get along, and help each other. Not bicker between our best new comers, and the Old crew.”

Faustina - *looks up from the book she is reading * “Will all you old timers, and youngsters be quiet before I lightning bolt you all?”

Zombie Character 2

Name: Dustin Woodward
Eyes: Blue
Hair: light brown
Height: Five foot ten Inches
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Assumed Sexuality: Straight
Current Status: Loner
Role: Follower
Alignment :Chaotic Good
Parents: Died to virus

Growing up middle class, with a father as a tech salesmen, and a mother who worked as seamstress, life was good for Dustin. While he was bullied in school, Anime was a good escape from that. He had a few friends that he hung out with, not really the anime geeks, more like the outcasts. Dustin could of hanged out with people that liked anime as well, but decided that hanging out with the other people that were bullied, or just ignored would be better.

This people became much better friends, respecting there differences. This caused Dustin to know a small amount in a lot of areas. Being a fan of anime, and a son of a seamstress, lead Dustin to be able to cosplay rather well.

He is unsure if his friends are alive or not, he did have to watch both his parents die to the virus. After watching both his parents die, and wondering why he didn't die. It took him about a week to get a plan, and that plan is to get back to his home town. Which was a challenge in itself, due to it being south of where he was. South of Ren City.

Making his way down, he learnt a few things about the zombies. Having a few very close run ins, he eventually learnt the colour thing, and used it in making costumes. Though having to travel by foot by himself, means he had to work on the costumes at night, and also take supplies for the costumes when found. Having gone through a few due to wear and tear he was glad he found his latest costume in the random house he was in.

With a bit of modifications it was wearable, and pink. With the newest costume, Dustin continues to head through Ren City to his goal. To see if his friends from his home town are still alive.

AAR - House Khon - Part Three

So, I hope to take the lessons and mistakes I learnt from this game and go forth in a new game. While I could continue my mistakes were repeated to much to often to go on.

Here are some mistakes I had; 

1 ] I did not taking into account the maintenance cost of current or future mercenaries I hired. Its very easy to lose a war when you go bankrupt from hiring mercenaries multiple times. Like when I hired more troops and then the very next month went bankrupt. Causing the mercs to join the enemy. 

2] I forgot to take a moment and check peoples status. Weather that be there wealth or there military or there age. Leting a character die because you think the heir is above 16 when the heir is below 10 is a bad time. This includes checking my allies and pacts and others allys and pacts, and also future potential allies.

For example: if guy I am thinking of going to war against has a kid about to turn 16 and be married off to the kid of a power ful nation. Dont declare war on that nation until you can ruin the alliance.

Another note: Catholics, and Muslims have a lot of holy orders to call on to defend against heathens. Watch out for that in that future.

3 ] I need to keep a closer eye on the factions in my nation. This was a one time mistake this game but it was large enough for me to be take from a five province duke to a single province count. 

All these mistakes, the ones listed and the ones not, are hopefully things I can learn from. Doing an AAR has actually helped me learn more about This game.

Oh. I m on my third new ruler since the last update. I made to many mistakes back to back to back in the last time I played, I dont feel like I can crawl my way forward to a fun position. I currently feel like I am in a Kobayashi Maru situation so am just going to end this AAR here. 

I am sorry.

AAR - House Khon - Part Two

Glypo Khon Shakya Lodro of Uttaranchal

Ruled from 13^th of December 1108 to 25^th of March 1130

He was a good ruler. He was put in a bad place to start with what with being in a losing war when he took over the throne. He managed to not lose to much face when he white peace lost money, and prestige but it wasn't a surrender, and we the people understood that what he would bring to the table or lose on the table would be in the future so we didn't hate him for losing that war.

The first war that our great leader Khon Shakya Lordo declared was a strategic choice. He wanted his grandfathers land back, and used the U-Tsang civil war to his advantage to regain the land that was lost. Then he decide to try and hunt down the white bear for the first time, to no avail.

He tried his hand at raiding his neighbours but each raiding party was successfully beaten back. This didn't hold his plans to hunt the White Bear. Though none of the hunts for the Great White Bear was successful, He and his loyal hunting dog went out several times. It is believed that during one of these hunts he got the Illness that plagued Glypo Khon Shakya Lodro for most of his life.

During a time of peace of the court physician cured his illness, but it cost him more then it should of. After that point he became an Eunich for the rest of his life.

Being a man who was careful to watch the going on of the wars and politics of the world. He saw that one of the lands to the south was being invaded from two sides, and decided this was the optimal time to take land. So expanded the west as well, he noticed that U-Tsung was at war, and tried to gain more land from U-Tsung. Unfortunately for him, the war wasn't major enough for them to be distracted long enough for our army to scoop land. But it was a white peace, we lost some money, but not a lot, and got away with most of our lives.

Calling in his many allies to defend against a Raja in the massive land to the West claim on some land that we own was a smart move. There army was just to large for us to deal with on our own. Its during this last war that the Great Glypo Khon Shakya Lordo of Uttaranchal was taken away from us due to natural causes.

The Glypo is dead. Long live the Glypo.

Glypo Khon Shakya II Lodro of Uttaranchal

Ruled from 25^th March 1130 to 17^th October 1131

Okay, due to the last two Glypo Uttaranchal has had living up to the age of 62 and 67 I didn't expect to have to do this at all. I expected to be dead by the time the next Glypo died. But Glypo Khon Shakya II of Uttaranchal didn't even set up a council to rule the many aspects of the Kingdom. He just jumped into leading the army against the invaders, and thought he was invincible and the best at everything.

This feeling of being invincible due to being the Glypo, and at the age of 42 decided that with no combat experience, that he could take on anyone in a duel. He challenged a much better enemy commander to a one on one duel, and lost his life. Putting his ten year old son on the throne.

He couldn't even stop the invasion force before he died. I hope to be dead by the next time the Glpyo dies.
