No - it's a specialty use that is normally a liability; if the opposing mage throws a fireball at your delivery mechanism before you can throw it at the mage, you've got problems. I'm just planting ideas; it's still your turn.

*wishes he had something.*

not that i have more than a vague idea what a nixie's supposed to be.

Nixies are sort of like pixies, only their domain is water.

You could try having Narp throw one of the dust pouches that have been thrown at us back at the mages, shooting a few arrows at the bandits, swordfighting, all of the above, or something else.

the problem isn't thinking up ideas, it's when i try to put them into words, it comes out bad. boring. i have to be interested in the scene before i can write it, and somehow none of them are stiring my imagination. and i just read 'her majesty's wizard' and 'count scar'.

well, i knew that much.

Perhaps it would help if you took a break from action for a bit, and painted the scene as a still. Sure, we know we are in a cave, with a well, a broken pump, some shelving, et cetera - but how big is it? What's it smell like? How are things arranged? What color are the walls? Are they finished? What's the texture? Are they rock? What type? Are there patterns in it? How are the bandits dressed? What weapons do they carry? Armor? The mages? Robes? What do they look like? Color? Symbols? Staves? Where is everyone in relation to everyone else? Make the scene come alive in your head, then take a few pages to describe it in type.

Her Majesty's Wizard - that's a good one. I haven't read Count Scar however.

C. Dale Brittian and Robert A. Bouchard. it's good. realistic, within itself and they wrote it well together. you can see some stuff where they both have different ideas, but not very much. anyway, i have to go to bed soon.

thanks for the ideas. i've been thinking we need to keep better track of our suroundings. and, of course, it might help.

By the way - I'll be gone over the weekend; If Krsqk comes back, feel free to keep posting story stuff without me.

And I am back. Narf, I'll wait for either Jack or you to post something, especially since I'm idea-free right now.

Maybe we could get captured?

well, i couldn't come up with anything good for Narp, but i did come up with an idea for Jack. if i can't come up with anything by the end of today, just post.

Quote:
Jack "We really can't have fireballs flying into here. The psi might get hurt."

A green glowing bubble surrounds the wizards, who hastily cancel their fireball spells, then wave there scorched fingers in the air. after a few moments, they start casting dispels and a few of the warrier's throw sacks.
feel free to change it, rearange it or ignore it.

Actually, now that Narp has been washed off, Jack would likely just teleport everyone away. Hmm, if there are no objections, I'll go post that.

Well, I didn't see any objections, so....

Done.
