It Began in a Tavern (OOC Thread) (Part 2)

For sure! I'm not trying to be a stickler or anything, these questions just all came to me at once and felt important to ask.

I really appreciated them!

 

[ps102]

And recommendations of where she should be?

It's not been very long so she couldn't have gone far. Last time I wrote, she was by a forest, and the only forest near Clifcross is the Forest of Death. I have absolutely no idea why I called it that, but it is what it is. Again, the world is always open to changes for anyone to request!

Speaking of which, a high res version of the map is long overdue. Here you go: i.imgur.com/COR3iv5.jpeg. If you visit that, you'll be able to zoom in all you want. It's high res so you can do that to your heart's content.

Edit: I tried to have it show here as an image, but it doesn't work because it's probably too big—even though it shows up fine on the editor. Use the link for now if you must.

 

[ps102]

Hmmm, well, that didn't work. It looks totally broken. Let me see if I can fix it.

I fixed the direct URL but I couldn't get the image to display. If that's wanted, we can ask for help from the staff I guess. For now, can @Louanne Learning update the map and index it as well on the lore post?

You should always ask when you feel the need I encourage it. Questions are good, not bad.

 

[Louanne Learning]

Forest of Death.

Love it!!

It's not quite right, but it's not your fault, it's the forum's. It automatically converts the direct image link to an indirect imgur link. Terrible software design. The user should have control of this stuff.

Here is what you need to do: Copy the link and click the chain icon. It will ask you for text and a URL. Paste the URL as-is on the URL field. Then, for the text field, remove the https:// and just leave the "i.imgur.com/COR3iv5.jpeg" part. That should make it work.

Xenforo also added an attachment. There is basically no need for it. Delete that and click save.

The reason it needs to be a direct .jpeg link is so your browser can read it directly. That gives you zoom capabilities.

I think it is okay now.

hey guys, I got a shingles vaccine yesterday, and the fatigue overwhelmed me this afternoon, and I just had a two-hour nap!

I'm going to get as much of the entry done as I can today, but will probably need tomorrow now.

 

[ps102]

I'm going to get as much of the entry done as I can today, but will probably need tomorrow now.

Not an issue at all. I hope you'll get better!

 

[Louanne Learning]

I'm working on the entry right now.

With sympathy, Brother Silas dipped his chin. He understood the terror Dusca must be feeling, with her daughter on a quest in which her safety was not guaranteed. But, nothing in this life was ever guaranteed. All one could do was play their part, and hope for the best.

Dusca grabbed her head, as if to keep it from exploding. “Fragments!” she shrieked. “The world is coming to an end and you speak to me about fragments!”

Barnabas, arm around her, drew her close, and she buried her face into the crook of his arm. Protectively, he bent his head over her and softly murmured into her ear...

One question - in this entry, I describe Melina as "Melina of the North" - but I'm not sure if that is correct.

Melina of ...?

 

[ps102]

One question - in this entry, I describe Melina as "Melina of the North" - but I'm not sure if that is correct.

It's Melina of The West, not North, but that's an easy enough fix. If you're ever confused about the world, just look at the geopolitics entry.

Otherwise, incredible entry!!! So much stuff was introduced. I think it might be best to write some Encyclopedia entries to connect everything with the current lore and to have a point of reference. If you can do that, it'd be great!

By the way, I get the feeling that you were really inspired while writing this!

 

[Louanne Learning]

It's Melina of The West, not North

Fixed! Thanks

Otherwise, incredible entry!!! So much stuff was introduced.

Thanks! I knew they had to go get the fragments, and decided to connect it to what the fragments represent

If you can do that, it'd be great!

What specifically do you think I should make entries for?

I get the feeling that you were really inspired while writing this!

yeah, little bit of Greek mythology inspiration there

 

[ps102]

What specifically do you think I should make entries for?

I really need to finish some C++ stuff right now, so I'll get back and tell you later today.

By the way, I will say, the time travel is great (and look forward into what you do with it) but let's not get into the complicated territory of the Butterfly Effect. That would raise questions like, "Well, why doesn't Silas go back to take kid Melina and encase her in a high quality prison?"

That's just to say, the future shouldn't be affected by time travel, but everything else is okay.

 

[Louanne Learning]

so I'll get back and tell you later today.

Thanks. I am thinking the Underworld and the place through the hole in the sky?

but let's not get into the complicated territory of the Butterfly Effect.

Agreed!

 

[ps102]

Thanks. I am thinking the Underworld and the place through the hole in the sky?

Certainly, you can get started on those. I'll tell you if there is anything else.

to take kid Melina and encase her in a high quality prison?

That's so funny. I meant high security prison. Yeah, I do mix up words sometimes.
