Militia Thursdays

Level cap for next week 14 and NO HIGHER!

Battleflag

I'll be with you lovely people next Thursday! And I'll try for 14 prior to that.

I needed to get my thug MM rdy for tonight's Strike Force (which is like lvl 20).. so thats why I was absent.

Oh, I did tell Hyperdrive (Blitz Arrow) I wasn't coming.. hope he passed the message on?

I'll look at the Militia thread for any plot updates.

All

I've been meaning to thank you for making the game so much fun in an IC and general gameplay respect. I enjoy playing at other times but the Thursday session really adds something different to the experience. I'm certain that it's going to get even better as our foes and missions get tougher.

For the first time I'm really enjoying the healing side of my character as it requires me to really keep a check on things, especially with certain hyper individuals on the team.

Another thing I've noticed is how well a team can do when it really works as a team--I'm impressed people, keep it up

Battleflag

I'll second that. In fact, the IC teaming is making the rest of the game seem bland in comparison. Bring on more IC teaming I say!

I'm signing up to Vlostok's Project-I15, themed sg. I'll probably be on tonight if anyone else is interested. I know we've all got limits on our time but it's worth a look at the thread if you haven't already.

If anyone else is thinking of joining, I've just created a tanker by the name of T - 34(space between the dash and letter and numbers if, by any chance, you are searching for me).

Let's try to support our fellow IC players.

Battleflag

I strongly third that - IC teaming is so great!

As regards "Mr." Vlostok's project, I hope to be taking part as a kind of sub-plot via Meriam's friend Natalya, who is just returning to Paragon after a forced leave of absence. Meriam and "Mr." Vlostok have already briefly discussed this - that is actually another added positive dimension - meeting up with alts and different SGs IC

Yes, the Alt interaction can be fun, if confusing at times. I'm glad to see there's interest here for Vlostok's idea.

Letter from Chaos Mage to Militia HQ

Dear Militia Members,

as his host and because I was the one initially introducing Leygran to your SG and also pushing him into joining you to give him an task in our world I think you have an right to be informed about his fate yesterday night.

After his terrible accident he already wrote you about and to inform you to not plan him into your next Militia Task Force for the next while, I was able to balance his condition but as my area of experience is not focused in the artwork of healing magic I called MAGI as soon as he was somewhat stable. And because they still owe me a few favours they arrived 20 minutes later with 3 of their experienced healers and analyzing Mages in my Mansion. In sight of the dear mean of time they immediately started examining Leygran as well as further healing him taking at least the danger of an physical breakdown out of play what was my more precious worry. As soon I saw that I was neither able to help them in healing or analyzing his condition I left them alone and went into my library.

About an hour later one of the Mages came to tell me what they found out so far. As it seemed the Portal which the Circle of Thorn group opened and through both the summoned Demon and Leygran came to our world another darker creature without own physical form also used to slip in our world hooking into him and feeding getting more and more powerful with time. None of the MAGI Mages was totally sure about this entity as they had not seen or heard about it before, what is of no wonder as the portal reached also to Leygrans world which they had no clue of before. But 2 of the Mages where absolutely sure that during their analysis of Leygrans magical aura and spirit they both had flashes of an dark shadowy figure rooting itself deep into his very soul and life force most likely with the aim of taking over Leygrans body after devouring his soul completely. When they now tried to deepen and sharpen their sight of this dark possession it seemed that the being was drawing even more life force out of Leygran to protect itself forcing the Mages to stop gaining more information about it.

After finding out this most alarming possession it was now easy to combine why he had so much problems using his magical abilities. As they said his hole spiritual aura was flooded with the darkest negative energy they had ever witnessed in their research for MAGI, as an result of that negative energy flooding him it was so hard for Leygran to draw either healing or the force of lightning to him and altering it to his favours. And also his terrible accident when he meditate and tried to draw our worlds natural magic flow into him to get in union with it, as when he flooded his body with simple called pure white magic flows meeting this extreme twisted and cruel dark magic caused an simple backflash when those totally contrary powers meet inside him.

I was not fully overviewing the hole situation yet when the Mage then told me we cant wait any longer because Leygrans condition is already in an stadium we may not be able to help him anymore. The two Mages remaining with Leygran will as he now speak with me already begin an magical ritual slowly ripping this dark entities roots out of his soul and life forcing it out of him. But as they had not encountered the nature of such an being before they would not be able to contain it anywhere so it may just slip back into him after it was connected to him for a while with ease. So their hope was that because of its none physical form I would be able to drive it away from him using my illusions and phantoms maybe even destroying it utterly.

As we both stand up to make our way to the room Leygran was with the 2 Mages an loud howling and shrieking rushed through my mansion and the temperature around us dropped also drastically as I was aware of goosebumbs shooting over my skin instantly. Both of us run into the room we left Leygran and the two Mages.

We rushed through the door to discover Leygran standing in the middle of the room emanating an massive cloud of dark energy around him, nine grey blue translucent tentacles moving from him into the 2 Mages holding them trembling in midair. After one hearthbeat he shifted his red glowing eyes into my direction his face an mask of pure hatred and pain blood dripping out of his ears and nose. An crackling unearthly deep voice rushing over us in an alien tongue as well as Leygrans own pleas and begging to kill him now and without mercy filled the room making the scene almost unbearable as the flood of dark energy itself roaming in the room alone made our bodys even 10 meter away shudder and tremble at we stay at the doorway.

Routined from many encounters in my long existence I then shoved my fear inward summoning my phantoms infront of me, 4 white frames holding blazing azure blades appeared and I commanded them mentally forward to tear this dark abomination apart merciless. An pure blast of dark energy washed from the creature to the doorway then reaching for the remaining Mage and me. Luckily I was shielded through my phantoms infront of me so the dark energy touching them diminished into the ground without causing me any harm, but the Mage standing now 2 Meter beside me apparently also readying an attack of his own was hit complete and totally unprotected what lifted him up crushing into the wall leaving him as an shuddering ball bleeding on the floor. My uprising anger let me then effortlessly summon my most powerful Illusion Phantom directly behind Leygran, as soon as it manifested it throwed an massive wave of energy into his back slamming him forward a few steps stumbling forcing him to drop on his knees. As my phantoms now stomped unhindered through the dark mahlstorm their blades severed his tentacles in easy strokes letting the 2 Mages drop to the ground and out of harms way. Still not fully recovered Leygran then lifted his head as my phantoms blades went down cutting deep and merciless causing him to cry in pain and terror as well as letting the shadow around him loose in intensity. Impaled on their azure blazing blades my phantoms lifting him upward now his feet hanging loose 2 feet over the floor, his bleeding body trembled and he grasped for air when my phantom behind him loosed another beam of concentrated energy into him destroying the dark cloud around him nearly and let him vomit blood through his mouth and nose splashing on the floor with an ugly splashing sound. Shocked I commanded my phantoms back letting them draw their blades out of him. So as his feet touched ground again his eyes blazed in an poison green surge of power his aura burning with sparks of black and green exploding outwards in an nova pure darkness my phantoms as well as myself where forced back crushing in different corners. Bleeding and grasping for air he then catapulted himself out of the big window to my mansions garden out into the night disappearing from my sight into the darkness leaving only an trail of blodd and shattered glass.

Instead of rushing after him I went for the other Mages aiding them with the little healing powers I have to prevent their deaths what I succeeded in at least. Other Senior MAGI came uncalled just a few minutes later rushing into my mansion alarmed by the huge explosions of dark energy their magic senses let them feel. After telling them fast what happened some took care of their 3 members and the rest rushed out with me after Leygran. But without any success after hours of searching I am back in my mansion now writing you this letter asking myself what mistake I make on the way and if it would have been possible to prevent all this somehow. If any of you may get a glimpse of Leygran dont approach him alone or risk following him, call MAGI or me.

Will keep you informed of further changes.

Best regards,

Chaos Mage

BEcause of the difficulty of getting to 14 with such limited play , suggested thatwe team up when ever we can as long as we don't have prior CoX agreements. Have 4 people with travel powers and the rest with in the hollows is not the smartest. I will be doing a hour session on tuesday 6:30 till (:30 if any want to come and join me between those times, ill probably even have frostfire or atta, unless you want me to wait> also to solve the plot holes for the AV fights maybe one person in bravo and one person in alpha gets the mission and we do it at the samew time and story wise say we sent in the teams from to different entry points and that we both took him down. Then again we could always do FFM suggestion and get the whole milita in one map, but thats less exp and only one group will et the credit for killing (exp) frostie. Up to you guys.

SO is anyone coming tonight then?

Angel will try to make it for a brief session between 19 and 20 BST.

Derek'll be there.

Eh.... Be where? =P

... and when exactly? is it 1830 - 1930 as UltraNova says or 1900 - 2000 as LotusX says? Or just evening-ish...?

I'll stop spamming now

Hmm...not quite sure - good thing we have our standard issue Militia SG-communication devices to locate each other through If I remember correctly, Angel is currently camping in a rather hostile part of the Hollows - perhaps not too far from Derek's apartment ...

Oh...I think UltraNova's time is the right one, I just don't think Angel can make it before 1900 BST

Derek lives about 250 yards east-north-east of the gate to Atlas Park. It's a house with steps up to the door and one of those thingies made of fabric that blocks the sun and sits above doorways and patios and stuff, it's green. (Enter: my poor english vocabulary)

See you tonight

Im starting at 18:30 but ill be on almost all day if anyone wants to join me. Meet at the regular spot in atlas

Amber will be around from about 5:30 till 8:30 tonight so I will be keeping a look out for you all. Hope to see you tonight.

Hello All

My real life is very busy at the moment and is likely to stay that way for a while. As a result, my game time and posting times are limited so please just organise yourselves and I'll be around as much as I can. I've just had a good 40 min session with Derek, Hyper and Masked Angel thanks to the SG--Cheers Max. Bumping into IC/Militia friends is becoming more common

I'll hopefull see you all for the big patrol on Thursday. Meet at the statue as usual and then off to the hollows fior about 1 hr. I doubt I'll be lev 14 at the start but I should be by the end of the session if the hunting's as good as I'm hoping.

Battleflag

Yes, it was a rather great team up. Short but eventful. It's great to be able to look around and realise there are other team-mates online and hook up with them.

As for 14, I doubt I'll be that level either but I'm with you on hoping we hit 14 by the end of the session. Amber's legs can only itch for so long...!

((IC)) I hope all you slowpokes are gona be able to keep up with me this thursday. Just got back from my check up and there letting me use my powers again. Catch ya thursady!

TONIGHT

We'll use the same teams as last week but we may need to split into three or whatever, who knows, turn out's difficult to predict. We'll just have to see who arrives and make the best of things. I suggest Diamondskin leads Alpha and Dragonfly leads Bravo, but they're just suggestions.


Alpha:

Diamondskin-Tanker(leader)
Force commander-defender
Masked Angel-Scrapper
The Portent-Blaster
Tatters-Scrapper
Brother Tchall-Defender
Hawkshaw-Controller
BlitzArrow- Defender

Bravo:

Dragonfly-Scrapper(Team Leader)
Extrisity-Blaster
Manolith-Tanker
Derek-Scrapper
Devlin Saint-Defender
Tristan Moyle- Defender
Leygran-Defender
Amber Banshee-Defender

If you're not on the list(but you're in The Militia) then just join one of the teams when you arrive. I'll probably be there but I'm not sure. 7.30 start at the statue and off to the Hollows for at least an hour's hun...patrol.

Best of Luck

Battleflag

I know this might seem a bit, erm, ignorant of me. But I'm still not quite sure who is who here. I mean, your forum-names contra your characters names.

I get confused with all the names associated with this game, you know: RP'd given names, super-hero names, global chat names, forum names. It's too confusing for my fragile brain(not everyone has their char-list as a signature).

Can we post a list or something? Just for little 'ol me? Pretty Please? Pretty please with whipped cream? Pretty please with whipped cream and a cherry on top... and sprinkles? Chocolate Sprinkles.


Regards

Not a bad idea at all. I think if we were to collate something that went:

Forum Name; Hero Name; Character Name

It might be useful at least until we all get to know all the names off by rote (you're not the only one with a bad memory...). Hell, I'd print it out and attach it to my screen like a little SG crib sheet.

Therefore, I'll start the ball rolling with:

Dante - The Amber Banshee - Saffron Mackenzie
