Thrin relized that he would have to speak, while everyone was lookin at the speaking man he slipped a vile from his mouth and into a shoulder pocket. Then he spoke "Waiting will not make your forces stronger, the matter of numbers will not be an issue if you have an extra 10'000 men." he said nodding towarwards Ben "As we speak Tameran could be making plans to attack you. If you wish to survive then you should attack! I dought that the entire army will be gaurding his palace and you have the element of suprise. I am sure that the King of the realm will also assist you, if you wish to stop Tameran's growing forces then you must first take out it's heart."

((We're progressing a littile fast don't you think?))

(Would you rather still be in the forest, doing squat?)

((^ All the better for another sequel! You ARE hosting another Whitewash, right?))
"Hm, you do have a point. But I jusy fear that Pan might be planning something..."

((Hmmmm, good point. Where are you Tom?))

Sevear had been watching the doorway for Hirokis return. The second she walked in, he rushed to her side and whispered into her ear, "What did you two talk about?"

((Good idea. You could keep making sequels! These are popular roleplays, so I'd do it if I were you!))
"I agree with Thrin. Who knows when Pan will strike us?" said Kasoti. Shadow and Darkness nodded, as if agreeing with their master.

I showed Sevear the pack. "It's our old friend. You know, from ten years ago." I winked at him, and hoped that he caught my drift.

"Ah, yes. Our 'friend'," he said, knowing what she meant the instant he had seen the pack.

I smiled and put the pack away. "You sure that this will work, Xel?" I asked. "It could just make him stronger."

Aseren escorted Hiroki into the room they had just left. "As I was saying, the attack is merely a distraction. A distraction for a team to infiltrate Pan's Palace. However, Pan will not fall for a distraction if anyone in the opposing army knows it is one. Therefore you must somehow make your army believe this is a true assault, which will be the most difficult part. This conversation must not leave this room. Not a single Pantrizer outside this room must hear a smidgeon of this conversation." He was completely serious. "If you let word get out, then we will truely be doomed."

He regretted telling them about his plan. Any one of these men telling even their wives risked the world ruled by Tamarans. He had felt that at least these men needed to know. I will not plan the same as Tamaran. They have every right to know what lies ahead. No secrets from these men.

"Now the question is, how to form a formidable force to withstand the main guard of the kingdom of Tamaran? Hailon might be out of the way. It may already be too late for the King. Sending a warning message to him from the Pantrizers is risk enough if Pan gets ahold of that letter, or worse, the poor sap who read that letter." This planning will be difficult. Pan's ability almost crippled stealth and secrecy.

I listened carefully to Xel and nodded. This was going to be difficult.

"I volunteer to be part of the team that infiltrates the castle and kills Pan," Sevear said, getting out of the chair and displaying no emotion.

"And, of course, so do I" I said after Sevear.
I then paused. "One question." I said.

((Common, what's in the pack?))
Yotoshi listened to Xel carefully.
"But that leaves a problem. According to what I heard," He turned to Ben.
"The extra 10 000 troops would take about two weeks to come, that's far to much time."

((You'd know if you were in the first RP ))

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!

I wanted to keep this until later, but I guess when you bring up sequels...

****************************
This portion of the Legend of Tacid is to be a trilogy RP.
Pan Tamaran succeeds in attaining his power. (Legend of Tacid)

Pan Tamaran's rise to immense power. (Fall of the Empire) I never said it was Pan's Empire that would fall in this RP now did I? *big hint*

The Fall of Pan Tamaran. (The Last Seer)

This RP will conclude when a force is put together, strong enough to pose a threat to Pan.

In the heart pounding sequel to this one, each of your characters will be leading their own battalions and legions of followers against each of the Imperial Generals. Each will have an epic battle with each General in the final RP. Anyone can die, either Pan, Aseren, the Generals, Hiroki, Kasoti, Tom, Ben, Yotoshi, Sevear, Thrin, etc. in the final RP. The battles will be through PMs before posting, so as to make your battles even more epic.

Best start figuring out what your army will be made up of and what its strengths are. Create your own places in the world with different people and how you will muster up individual forces. The remainder of this RP will be how EACH and EVERY character brings their own personal armies to the battle to end all battles. Have fun and think hard about strengths and weaknesses to your armies. Have fun! I will be monitoring the development of your armies.

((It's a secret from the previous LoT))

I sighed. "Where is Pan Tamaran's soul?" I asked.

"I'd like to know that as well," said Sevear, nodding in agreement to Hiroki's last question.

Thrin looked at the voulintering man, "If you wish to break into the palace you will need my help, I was trained as a spy and I have broke into the palace before. And escaped from it's dungeons." Then Hiroki spoke and Thrin's ears percked up. "Tameran lost his soul?!" He shot a look at Xel and couldn't help but thinking "Did he lose his soul too? Would he become the demon that Tameran is? Ah crap."

Sevear could tell by the look on Thrin's face that he was worried Xel had lost his soul to.

"I can tell what you are thinking, and I am no Seer. Pan has lost his soul because of the number of times he has used his gift, and because of the way he has used it. Xel, on the other hand, retains every piece of his soul because he avoids using his gift."

((Actually, I'm not sure I like the "Anyone can die". There could be other methods, because that one sounds like you kick them out of the RP. Perhaps they get heavily injured and have to retreat the battlefield and you can't continue fighting for 1-3 days (in real time)?))

(Anyone can die. Obviously, you are PMed and discuss the battle before such a big event such as a main character's death occurs. It is not kicking you out of the RP. You can easily make a secondary character to continue in the army, they just will not be important to the rest of the plotline unless you want to make a secondary plotline. When I say this is the battle to end all battles, I mean the battle to end all battles.)

EDIT: (Characters not dying will, in my view, hinder the RP's conclusion if noone is at risk and every good guy wins. There will be more Legend of Tacid RPs and new characters can be made, but this trilogy is to be marking the greatest battle in the history of the Tacid series.)

"That is not entirely true," said Aseren with a downcast scowl. "I am unfamiliar with all information reguarding the Power of Mind but I do know this. It is based on you losing something to gain it. An exchange is occurred when you receive the third eye. You are correct in that Pan's overuse of the power has torn apart his mind, but a Seer chooses to be granted dominion of this world, in exchange for losing the chance at the next world. You must forfeit either your soul, or the power. You cannot have both."

"So which did you forfeit?" asked Sevear, his curiousity at its peak.

I nodded and looked at Aseren. "His power, of course. He is not a mindless zombie, bent on destruction."
For an unknown reason, I suddenly was reminded the past that I once loved, and wondered if I still loved the man I used to. I shook off the memories. Not now!! I sighed, and looked away, saying nothing.
