(Alright, we can dispense with a lot of monotony quickly. Not sure if you looked up much on the Mongolian Steppe but it is one of the most remote places in the world. Mile and miles of grasslands that is still pretty backward. And since Awakenings has a limited range the only way to track your foe is a lot of just plain leg work. In the remote reaches of that country that means on horse back. I don't suppose James knows how to ride?)
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:03:48 PM)
(well being one of the more remote area's when night falls flying shouldnt be that big of a deal, hehe, but no he does not specifically have the ability called ride
nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 9:07:50 PM)
(*nods* They would need to pack a lot of provisions as well. It is still pretty cold and inhospitable even though spring is breaking a bit, but it is not a part of the world known for comfort. They live in yurts and drink mare's milk after all. So if nothing else they will need to have aquired some horses for pack animals....I hope you are getting a grip. In reality we are talking about James having spent days and days and days.....of pure diress and misery to find his target. By the time he located him he would no doubt be tired, dirty, and smell bad, not to mentioned bruised and battered from dealing with the unfamiliar horses. And he likely has saddle sores in places he was not aware he possesed. Get the picture?)
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:08:19 PM)

nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 9:09:27 PM)
Well just to give Soph the full affect.....hold on a sec. Amy
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:09:54 PM)
(and so it will be at least abit of resting before confrontation, to let any bashing damage heal hehe)
nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 9:13:29 PM)
Mongolia is one of the most remote places on earth. The steppe is a virtual sea of grass and the country is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. It is just turning spring but still pretty cold. Also since Awakenings has limited range you guys have to cover the area in a slow grid. This will involve ridding and/or dealing with horses. Since neither has much horse sense that will involve bruises and a lot of saddle sores and probably getting thrown a lot. Days and days and days...in this harsh environment searching. Also you two do not speak the language. So by the time you have any hope of finding the target you are going to be dirty, tired, beat up, smell bad and have saddle sores in places you did not know you had. It will have been a real ordeal of misery. I want to make that clear rather than spending hours describing monotonous searching. Got it?
Sophie Willows (Mar 17, 2011 9:14:47 PM)
(Got it... tired, sore, pissed)
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:17:03 PM)
(dont blame me.... i voted for flying, hehe)
nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 9:18:36 PM)
(You cannot carry provisions flying unless you plan on eating dry grass)
nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 9:18:44 PM)
(Now at the end of this ordeal we get to the nuts and bolts of using Awakenings. You guys can indeed locate Timur/Azliar of course he can also locate you and/or knows you are coming. On top of that it is his home turf so basically it will be an even throw down when we start. He will be in his App. Form in full tormented glory as befits a Ravener. He also has six mounted Mongol warriors with him who are armed with AK47s. So before we get to narrative and initiative how are you guys prepairing for battle?)
Sophie Willows (Mar 17, 2011 9:19:20 PM)
(high torment here)
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:19:50 PM)
(so, they will rest, let the bashing and bruising before going to this confrontation, but, if he can be sensed coming for them, it will be all about finding terrain that benefits the lesser numbers)
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:21:56 PM)
(Apoc, all low torment, and cloak of shadows for high torment)
nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 9:22:29 PM)
(May as well go all out on torment James it costs the same)
Sophie Willows (Mar 17, 2011 9:22:57 PM)
(He knows we are coming, he can feel us, he's ready for the fight we might as well be :) )
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:23:21 PM)
(ehh might as well, just will need a new vest later, those damned quills, heh)
nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 9:25:29 PM)
(Alright, and not a bad idea James but you forget this is their home. Not like they are going to let you pick the ground. The configuration will be like this Azliar will be flying and sending his mounted warriors out in front of him. The warriors can of course shoot at you two when you are in the air though the diff will be increased to 8 to hit such a challenging target. The minions will go last in initiative the rest of us will roll so toss the dice)
Sophie Willows (Mar 17, 2011 9:26:34 PM)

Sophie Willows (Mar 17, 2011 9:28:20 PM)
(This I did not know. But if he's flying can I use command the storm to bring forth a hurricane/thunderstorm and force him to the ground?)
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:28:21 PM)
(your form just adapts and looks abit nastier when tapping into the torment)

nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 9:38:10 PM)

James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:45:46 PM)
(5 sux fist of air, high torment, so, 5 lethal)
James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 9:45:54 PM)
*James saw his former friend coming for him, he had hoped to give him one more chance to end this peacefully, but he had suspected the bastard would come out swinging. Taking to the air his form changed from its usual, becoming leaner, the angles of his form were harder, and his wings had turned black, as did the winds swirling around him, blacker than the night. He reached into himself and into the past, reaching into creation turning the winds at his command even colder, and when they lashed out at Azliar they tore at flesh like shards of ice.*

James Laurence (Mar 17, 2011 10:16:59 PM)

nasty2 (Mar 17, 2011 10:38:45 PM)
