I just thought I'd share this. I thought it was hilarious!

Yay, Order of the Stick, Yay ! ;D

Haha that comic was awesome xD

I remember on my old server on NWN1 I saw at least 12 long lost siblings of Drizzt all with 2 Scimitars, I loved it =P

But so far nobody on this server knows ICly I'm a drow, some can go ahead and assume it due to my method of escape after I stole the bronze dragon egg during an event but so far nobody has uncovered me.

I've been harassed ALOT for wearing my helm though and currently have 5 different stories circulating on why I wear it lol

I'm not the tradition "rebllious Ima be good and use 2 scimitars! drow", I've so far been a trickster falsely gaining the trust of random travelers to have them kill monsters for me. So far the servers done a wonderful job of making me feel isolated and scared of showing my face =]

I meant to ask you about that, after you escaped the other night during the event I believe a few people called you a drow.. and I didnt know if it was meta-gaming or in fact they knew you beforehand.

Is the official story then that no one really knows you are a drow? I didnt really know how to proceed because I didnt want to go along with someone else's use of OOC info if they didnt really know IC.

If only those big guys up front would have grabbed you, an opposed strength check would have been fabulous about that time. I couldn't get past everyone in the narrow hallway to grab you myself. Lol.

I can't wait to see how it all plays out in game, it will be fun.

[thegnomeherder]

It will be pretty fun =D

But yeah so far not a single player has RP learned of me being a drow, people have jumped to conclusion as you saw, but nobody should be 100% sure Ahkyn is a Drow. Nobody's gotten my helm off or gotten a confession from me, for all they know I can be an elf with a darkness scroll haha.

Also come to think of it nobody should ICly know my name, I've given the name Elhen to everyone who has asked, some have beaten my Bluff roll and know I'm lying but so far the only things ICly people should be able to tell is that I wear a Helm and give the name Elhen.

Theres seriously like 6 different stories about why I won't take off my helm though haha

[broham2]

Lol, yeah and actually I was hiding near the bridge and heard you tell two of them, but my character is pondering what that means, especially in light of your actions during the event.

You died at one point early in the event, and I SOOO wanted to remove your helm to check for a pulse, but i always feel bad outing drow in the game because it can turn south quickly.

If only I would have known your plans! Ha ha..

[thegnomeherder]

haha you should have exposed me, you have the potential to become my arch enemy xD

[broham2]

And what a perfect enemy that would be for a worshipper of Shevarash!

This is something I wrote some time ago. I hope you like it.

Drivv'l Overd'n[/u]

Class: Ranger
Sex: Male
Race: Drow
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Deity: Probably his Dad

Background
Raised by the Sorcerors of Khlee Shay, Drivv'l was treated well but, never knew his family, certainly the Sorcerors spoke of it in hushed tones and would mutter of 'unique ancestry' and 'great destiny'.
While not overly interested in Sorcery, a natural gift for magic made itself known at an early age. Many put this down to his Drow blood but, others suspected a greater source.. (Cue spooky music)
While Drivv'l was a naturally good person, who went out of his way to be as reasonable as possible with everyone he somehow found himself getting into fights to the death on a daily basis until he was the best warrior for miles around, more than capable of beating the twenty and thirty year veterans of wars and battle that were now reduced to gate duty at the Sorcerors Enclave. Despite this, said Guards had no problem referring to Drivv'l as 'whipper-snapper' and sending him on petty 'fetch and carry' errands.
Drivv'l took all of this in his stride, he was more concerned with two other characters, both of whom, it later transpires, he barely knew.
The first was a close acquaintance of some kind (Brother/sister/cousin/friend/mentor/other - delete as appropriate) while the second was a mysterious stranger who kept mentioning destiny and power. Unfortunately Drivv'l didn't have the sense to ask the mysterious stranger any questions whatsoever, he just made vague notes in his journal and thought no more about it.
He certainly didn't ask anyone about the strange amulet that the mysterious stranger wore so proudly.
Even the greatest tactical genius (and Drivv'l is a tactical genius - it's coded) has a critical failure occasionally.

Then came the Cutscene of Doom (DUH, duh duuh!) when, in a bizarre and totally unpredictable hook, the mysterious stranger (and possibly associates) kills or captures the Close Acquaintance.
Oddly, Drivv'l was the only person who cared and so he set out to release/revenge his close acquaintance and possibly find his world shattering legacy on the way.
The legend begins...

gnomeherder,

I'm not sure you want that. You'll have the whole Weave Master guild on your back. It won't be fun

[thegnomeherder]

I'm pretty sure they already want my blood considering I Stole a Bronze Dragon's Egg out from under their noses as well as key members of the Flaming Fist and nature guilds haha


Oh, boy...I'm in for it ^-^

[thegnomeherder]

ALSO! On a more serious note about the Drow Race

The -1AB light penalty stays during the night, it only goes away indoors, Is that a bug? =o
