Salamandra 1136 Share Posted March 10, 2012 *A note is nailed to a lightpost in renatus, the is blood staining the bottom right corner of the letter, as you begin to read* Hello King... This is the letter, written by the man who tried to kill you today. I'm surprised at how easily you were fooled. I disguised myself as an old man, from my face you should have been able to tell I was nearing 500, as I am a dark elf after all. You simply gave me a sword and let me duel with you? One should be more careful. I was inches away from piercing your little cowardly heart, and ending your pathetic life. However, I underestimated your "swordsmanship", also known as always keeping your hand on your sword because you're scared. With pure luck, you were able to block my final strike, or were you? If I was able to trick you that easily, what's to say I haven't fooled ALL of Renatus already? Who's to say my men aren't your guards right now? Did you notice how NONE of them chased me after I tried to stab you? Sure, you could say you knew it was coming, how you knew I was in disguise, that's the easy way out. If you knew I was going to kill you, why would you even bother to listen to me in the first place? I wish you luck, King. Your life will end shortly, so keep your cowardly hand on that blade. ~Your future assassin [[screenies Below. I used improvechat to scroll to the text, I didn't really take screenies during the action, I would've died xD Great RP by The_Sultan (Who I believe is Mogroka) and everyone else who was involved. I'd like to point Lothriel out as well :) Note: I am Ben Cheer I'd also like to thank BannanaToYou for that FINE commentary <_< ]] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathmetus 152 Share Posted March 10, 2012 ((Left hand? It is possible he can parry with left if he is a good swordsman, it can be either since minecraft doesn't allow for either hand to have a weapon. I mean it is RP.)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamandra 1136 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 [[True, but to block with his left hand with reflexes faster than a 40 year assassin? [That's how long I've been one IG And he didn't know it was coming. Good point Bannana, but even still, I enjoyed the RP alot xD]] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmetus 152 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (( We all had armed ourselves icly and prepared icly, our new king is a more accomplished swordsman than eze'kiel was so it is possible, as well it is possible a younger man in his 20s may have a better reflex even in his 30s, but that is beside the point. It was very good and fun RP.)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallino 81 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (what you did is a instakill witch in rp is not permeated.) I agreed with everything in your statement but this one. As assassins we are already forced to initiate Rp, by speaking and emoting, something done only for the enjoyment of others(Don't forget all the meta we deal with doing this =/). In truth good Rp for an assassin is to Instantly kill their target, and escape. Yet, again, for the sake of being good villains(DB is one of the biggest Villain groups, and we take pride in this)we ignore this and take the time to set up an interesting event in which we attempt the kill(This drastically diminishes our chances of succeeding, but, hell, it's more fun for everyone, including us. Also during these events we tend to similarly kill the target with emotes, leaving his items out of the question to again better Rp the quick no time for looting escape, and to allow the target to Rp a dramatic death death(Or he could be saved, depends on who's around)). 5. Your duty as a villain is to "provide" fun for other people through conflict. If you want to be a villain for your own little conquests, understand that you are not welcome. This includes being rational, and fair; and often, even giving the upper hand to the other party. The emote sala did was aiming for an Insta-Kill, but you were given clear time to react, and hence your still alive =P. Regardless even a minor flaw can be ignored when the Rp is enjoyable, as that's the reason we're all here =). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(When done so, Assassination must include the person you are assassinating as part of the plot idea.) (Although I did, continue the rp with parrying it, I only posted here because banana was arguing on its legitimacy, I had fun.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
