SotN TET Report

27 December 2002;

The noise woke Dalthid from the best sleep he's had in a while. It was coming from the roof, the sound of hooves. He leapt out of bed and grabbed a large aluminum case from the corner of his room. The combination was already set to open, he flipped the latch. Inside lay his Ruger .308 with Hogue over-molded stock and Sightron 3x9 scope. He took only one of his "re-loaded" 150gr ballistic tip rounds and slid it into the chamber then pushed the bolt forward and locked it. Before leaving his room to investigate the commotion, he slung his holster over his shoulder that carried his Kimber Custom Target II (w/match barrel) 45 ACP fully loaded "cocked and locked". He scurried down the hall over the two startled K-9's who followed him to the door. The youngest, Cooper, a pure bred Husky, yapped and nipped at the heels of Dalthid as he was unlocking the front door. Chloe, the eldest, a 50/50 Husky/Northern Wolf was set back on her haunches with the hair down her back at full attention.

Dalthid opened the door as the noise grew louder, "Hey!" he yelled to whomever was on his roof. "Hey what?" a voice shouted back. It was Acklay, up to something. "What the heck are you doing on the roof?" Dalthid asked curiously. "I'm putting up a plastic Santa and reindeer thingy!" He shouted back. "Well, that explains the hooves I guess." Dalthid thought.

Dalthid set down his rifle and tried to engage a conversation with the young Protector. "I told you I don't like that Santa crap, dude" Dalthid explained. "Yea but I live here too, and Page said he didn't mind..." Acklay defended. "But Page is in PA...not here, so take it down!!!" Dalthid demanded. "No way "shortee" make me..." Acklay challenged. "Okayyyy..." Dalthid said to Acklay as he let the holster fall from his shoulder. With a quick snap he caught the holster as it fell and jerked the 45 and blasted the magazine empty. "Holy crap you psycho...you could've killed me!!!" Acklay wined. "Nahh, if I wanted you dead I would've done it..." Dalthid said. "Awe mannnn...Santa's all "holy" now!" Acklay said not realizing his pun. "Hardly...now get down." Dalthid said. "No way...you're out of bullets...I'm gonna fix him." Acklay retorted.

Dalthid smiled and cleared out his 45 and set it on the porch. He reached for his rifle and flipped open the scope covers. Acklay wasn't paying attention until he heard Dalthid whistle to him. Acklay turned to see Dalthid drawn down on Acklay...not exactly "center mass". "Ummm Acklay, you want kids?" Dalthid asked with a chuckle. "Alright, I'll take it down....but you just wait 'till I get a gun you nutcase!!!" Acklay said as he scurried from the roof. "Humbug" Dalthid said as he went back inside, Chloe following right behind him.

Clan Competition Part 2

Phase 2 "Turn up the heat!"

*Krath:

Reaching the platform seemed like it hat taken forever, but you finally did it and you are still alive too!

As you reach to the suspended PCON to remove the low humming device on his chest, another flash of light blinds you as you wonder if this is going to become a habit.

As you regain your sight you see that you have been transported into a stone room and notice that two of your fellow clan members nearly appeared at the same time as you did. you are not sure , if they also tried to save the Proconsul and entered after you, or if they were just another illusion. on your guard you greet them and start exploring the room. You see four doors, each placed in the center of one of the walls. you open the doors and to your amazement you find that each opens up to a totally different landscape and place. One leads to a jungle, the second to an ice desert, the third to a forest that very much looks like the Desalmado forest and you can even see the shapes of the clan's stronghold in the distance and the forth opens to a long corridor.

you turn around to your companions and say....

Rules:

Run-on for three

open for Sith and Obelisk as well,

basically you grab 2 of your friends and start writing a story with them, you do it over mail between the three of you only in a run-on fashion.

with setting a limit to three it makes it easier to control and waits smaller . each of the three can chose to be on the rescue mission or an illusion, a sort of an enemy within to foil it. it is up to each of you, and no you don't have to say from start what you, it would only take the suspense away! :P

by the time the deadline is here you should have complete stories that you send over to Consul Drako and myself!

as for the finish of it: what ever way you chose in the end you find yourself in an arena sort of place .

Dalthid's Corner;

Due to extreme inactivity, SotN is a bit lighter this week. Oh well, it had to happen some time. Still no one has sent any weekly stuff. With all the complaining in the beginning of the month about who deserves what, there are some who don't deserve what they have and will be the first to complain about what they haven't got! That's my bit of revelation. So press on, fix whatever is broken...'cause now I'm sure it ain't me!
