Heh. Well, just because Naar invented the process does not mean that they are created by His hands. As I recall, NAK have to be created by Nadziranim or Dark Cultists, don't they? Hawk Bane should try telling Unc or Slûtar that he's superior to them. Gnaag or Haakon would simply obliterate you on the spot

I made a crude map in MS Paint so you can see the rough layout of the castle. Tried to post it directly in the post, but I'm not very familiar with this technical stuff... Anyway, the link is: img213.imageshack.us/img213/5248/karta1pw1.jpgHope that works. Anyway, the castle is... well, I couldn't find the technical term for it in English, but literally translated it means "compound keep". The main keep looks like four big round towers molded together, with another round tower placed on top (the circle in the middle). This means there are two roofs, the lower one with place for catapults and suchlike, and the higher one. I hope that is clear, maybe I can make a better illustration later on Edit: Damn, that image was way too small... I'll see what I can do about it. Edit 2: Aaargh, curse all this! Perhaps it would be easier if I just mailed the image file to one of you? I got Corwyn's and Soul Spawn's adress. Bit of in a hurry now, so I don't have time to fiddle around too much.

hey dudes, once again want to say i am enjoying reading this! I have never read a play by post game as an observer before, so it is very interesting. I read an online blog that is a story, so this is sort of like that, but with seven different writers

Owing to how these two games are evolving, it is cool to see the other's game as an observer. Shame we don't get to fight side by side! Infact, I'm already starting to miss the character chamaradere! Though of course the players are fun and it's also fun to be able to tweak each other and try to act tough

Taden will return directly to the townhouse upstairs room he rented while staying in Vanamor, and begin sorting what he will take with him.

You go and tell that to Naar. I'm sure he'll love to hear you tell that to him. Nadziranim or Dark Cultists, whatever, they still serve him and it's his wish that they handle the process which gives birth to the NAKs. Like I said, I doubt any Darklord would risk incur the wrath of Naar by obliterating his creation. That Darklord would be a DEAD Lord. Go ahead, make my day. Simply put, NAKs look at themselves as superior than even the Darklords, being his creation and answerable only to him.

Simply put, NAKs look at themselves as superior than even the Darklords, being his creation and answerable only to him. Ah yes, Hawk and I had a little PM exchange about the NAK:s place in the Darklord hierarchy. I fully understand Hawk's point of view. But I still hold that however superior the NAK view themself, they must still fit into the organisations somehow. The Nadziranim that create them are the Darklord's servants, the weapons and armour they wield are forged by the Darklord controlled smithies and presumably handed out by them, and so on. I have a bit of trouble coming to grips with the idea that the Darklords would accept a rogue force within their lands and organisation that is completely outside any sort of control. After all, the Darklords too are the "children of Naar" and his creation. However, I don't see why this should be a problem. We must remember that Naar is a God and not someone who is present to give orders directly - the Darklords are his manifestation on Magnamund. So, as I see it, Naar is the NAK:s god, but the Darklords (or at the very least, the Archlord) are their monarchs, just in the same way the Kai Lords serve their god Kai first, but must also bow to the king of Sommerlund. This still gives the NAK plenty of freedom to serve Naar the way they see fit, without consulting with the Darklords or even feel compelled to obey their orders if they feel they are against the best interest of Naar (quite like the Knight's Templars, if you've seen Robin of Sherwood, like in the exchange between the sheriff and a templar: "I represent the King!" whereupon the templar answers "and I the King of kings!"). But like I said, they must still have some place in the organisation and do their part in the war effort of the Darklands. This means obeying the Darklords at least on a practical level and when it comes to tactical matters. To get back on track: Does anyone of you have anything more to add or ask in the briefing part at Ruiger's? If not, then I think we can move on to the next scene.

Thus showing the faulty NAK logic even now. Since Darklords are Naar's creation too, answerable only to him too, actually directly in commune with him, AND they are invulnerable to pretty much everything. So I wonder who is the favoured child of Naar... And if Gnaag can get away with wiping out two fellow darklords and is acended for it, I reckon a couple of NAK aren't going to make Naar bat an eye Edit: Oops, double posted. Yeah, Ddirac will tak a guest room, and split his equipment into stuff being left behind with the pack horse and stuuf to take with him to the castle

The GM has spoken! Again, I remind that it's Slavey's view and my view, but not my CHARACTER'S view. Read the text in the NAK pdf and you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, as for me, I'm done here. I think we have the info we need before we plan our move the next day. So yeah, on to the next scene for me.
