Re: Writing Prompts

Ah, okay. I missed that.

Next question is what to do with these large animals. They might be a good source for arianesin-wool :mrgreen:

Re: Writing Prompts

Better not dig too deep here and avoid making things too convoluted.

Anyway, big beasts and game on Deinar are not canon, so when featuring in this environment they must have been introduced. And I'd not be overly surprised if the initiation is somehow monitored.

Re: Writing Prompts

You’re right, Deinar itself doesn’t really have wildlife . I think that everything, including the hoppers and game, has been introduced, and during the course of their trial they may need to venture out when they deplete resources. Regarding the diral trials I got a “Truman Show” feeling. The elders...

Re: [WP] New Frontiers (Story Thread Only)

“Look at that! I’d never have imagined this!” Coldfire exclaimed in Loroi trade, caring to also share her thoughts with Nathan. Coldfire, Nathan and Argent were looking down at the pack that currently counted eighteen animals gathered in the natural corral at roughly an hour walking distance from t...

Re: [WP] New Frontiers (Story Thread Only)

Quickriver and White Thunder had been oozing unhappiness about the current state of readiness and work to improve the diral’s stronghold. Although participating in preparing all defences, both had lost confidence in the effectiveness of only a static line of barriers when they were digging the tren...

Re: Writing Prompts

Spoilers ho. I'd initially started writing to introduce a couple of new characters tending the forges just before the arianesin decided to show up, but had to scrap that plan when Zarya updated, so I changed them from tending the forges to being with the ore gathering party and adjusting as necessa...

Re: Writing Prompts

Perhaps the impossible just takes slightly longer?

I’d get a writers block having to invent a plausible solution for dealing with a blitz carried out by 20 divisions.

Re: [WP] New Frontiers (Story Thread Only)

“Stay here!” Within a couple of heartbeats Argent scrambled most of the Loroi, who set out armed with knives, sticks, as well as the medikit. In an instant the clearing was left almost deserted. To find out what was happening Nathan ran towards the dizoin oven which was still tended by a single Lor...

Re: Writing Prompts

I wasn't thinking of 'special powers' just increased telepathic strength coupled with Nathan's bonding Lotai being used in internal power struggles, the lost diral thus becoming highly influential amidst the Mizol. If the Diral became a Mizol black ops tool then it would explain both the secrecy an...

Re: Writing Prompts

Have been struggling a bit, trying to keep it in line with Beacons. Was hiking along on the concept proposed by Dragoon that humans can amplify Loroi abilities, but actually ended up with Nathan broadcasting to all when in direct touch. In a way the same effect that occurred when Alex casted his adv...

‘ They are playing hide and seek by touching Natan ’, reported Poisoned Claw. True enough! Argent noticed how various members of the Diral popped in and out of sanzai reach together with fragments of thoughts coming from Nathan who was obviously trying his best to show discipline. He was focusing o...

‘ The large meteorite found by White Thunder’s group contains a high proportion of iron, almost 19 out of 20, the rest is mostly nickel and we’re lucky to have traces of vanadium and tungsten.

Re: Writing Prompts

Also, the portal on Earth must have been destroyed in the process of moving Nathan, else it most certainly would have been discovered by now (the 2160s), because already in the actual "now" practically every square centimetre of the Earth's surface has been explored to some degree. Perhaps it will ...

Re: Writing Prompts

Either we have another FTl discussion - which I really liked BTW - or the portal only functions at light speed, which isn’t consistent with the Loroi Empire / Earth dates originally defined by Orion1836. In the latter case we’re 250 or so lightyears later than the American Revolution, Nathan’s relat...

Re: Writing Prompts

New frontiers hasn't gotten to the point that it hints to what Beacons says, it may never will and be left open ended. I hoped it’d be possible to “explore” more efficient ways in New Frontier on how to establish sanzai links than bedroom scenes and consecutive sessions in Turkish baths. A knock on...

Argent was sitting on the side of his cot and was already looking up when he entered. He walked over, sat down next to her, gently wrapping his right arm around her and gave her a hug. Then he held up his left hand with his fingers spread wide. Argent brought up her right hand and laced her fingers...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Wild guess: It wasn't cataclysm. Soia ended their experiment (whatever it was) and just revert changes, clean up workspace and collect garbage. And then started their new experiment and stepped off the stage to see how it progressed. “The Gods were wearing lab coats.” :D http://drakaronline.com/ima...
