Tales Of Mana[RPG Thread]

[ Sorry, For My Long Absences. I have been busy lately. ]

Every new step Reki took seemed to require more and more effort, as though lead weights had attached themselves to his feet and were working their hardest to root him to the spot. This feeling was all too familiar. Dread was tearing its way up from inside him, and he tried in vain to ignore the panicked adrenaline that was beginning to course through his system with each thud of his heart.
Not again. He couldn’t deal with this again.
His hands were trembling. He knew what was coming, the same terrifying sensations and broken thoughts telling him that reality was about to shake itself loose and come tumbling down around him.
Trying to calm his breathing, Reki crashed back against a tree trunk, clasping a hand over his forehead and screwing his eyes shut.

Reki’s eyes snapped open as the image slammed into his mind, almost making him drop to his knees with a choking gasp. All that belonged to verisimilitude span around him and he found himself back there…back at that place he always tried to forget and yet never managed to escape…

Her hand, bloody and broken, reached up to lightly brush Kyougu’s wide eyed face, before it fell to hit the floor as her body became a dead weight in his arms.

The man dropped back against the tree, desperately trying to fight the flashback. His grandfather’s words hammered into his mind as clearly as the day he had first heard them.

‘Do not underestimate your potential…you are capable of so much more.’ Juuniji winced and clutched his chest, before firmly meeting Reki’s gaze for a final time.
The sudden deathly silence converged with an overwhelming solitude……….. an inescapable nausea oscillated up through him, and his thoughts refused to stay still, leaping from one to the next in a frenzy of fragmented images….

Falling to his knees, Reki clasped his arms over his head, gritting his teeth as his mind threatened to crack.

The spray of blood soaked his arms and face, but he continued without showing even a trace of emotion. Jyan didn’t even have time to drop to the ground before Reki’s foot slammed into his chest, sending his cousin’s limp form flying back into……..

These were images that Reki wasn’t sure were even his own memories. He recalled them, relived them as though it were someone else that had done all the terrible deeds he watched himself do.
The visions started to merge into each other, making his world spin in a nauseating gyration of sanguinary spectacle.

Her hand, bloody and broken, reached up to lightly brush……his agonised scream was cut short as the wakizashi sliced….the terrified older man helplessly tried to crawl away from Kyougu…the smell of death was….

Reki nearly gagged as existence snapped suddenly back into normality. He lost all the strength in his body, collapsing sideways as he tried to stop hyperventilating.
It had been two months since he had last had a flashback like that. The last one hadn’t been as disquieting, and again the last one before that had been lesser so. This increase in his inability to hold on to his sanity was greatly distressing.
The man decided he had better rest himself for a while before trying to continue on his departure.

Azar saw reki freaking out from a distance. he started to run towards him and when he finally got there he was asleep. "hello? are you awake?" he said feeding him some raspberry mint cordail in rekis mouth

hate to interupt but i said i would join so what r we doing

((I suggest you bracket your posts if they're not really in the game KB120))

((I'm assuming it's night time DM))
His grubby features remained hidden in darkness and camoflauged by his semi-blackened skin, it was almost shocking when he suddenly lit up as he incinerated the end of the cigarette in his mouth with a flick of his thumb and forefinger.

the smouldering cancer-stick flared at frequent intervals as he inhaled and exhaled the eventually-deadly smoke, all the time whilst watching his so-called companion thrash about during one of his 'moments' with Azar trying to comfort him.

"Weirdo..." he mumbled under his breath before filling his lungs again, unaware that the gathering cloud of fetid smoke began to slowly drift in the-now concious Reki's direction.

As the last bit of his beloved toxin inhalant burned away and just before it burnt his lips he discarded it into the small fire in the middle of their little group, Keii clapped his hands soundly and the fire tripled in size before anyone could blink, "Ahh, toasty!" he mused as another cigarette appeared between his lips and a sinlge floating ember flew from the camp fire and ignited it for him on a whim...

((This isn't as long as i wanted it but still worked out...))

((dude weres the sigh in thread?))

The moment Reki’s eyes flickered open and took in the star speckled sky, which was obscured here and there by the occasional grumpy and heavy looking cloud, he swore loudly and pushed himself to his feet. He hadn’t meant to fall asleep; the flashback must have drained him more than he had first realised someone came up to him and ask him if he was alright. It was abit annoying for the man to help him, but at least he was awoke, and moving in darkness meant that there was less chance of any detection.
The man was about to move off when a fire ignited out of nowhere triple it's size and a man appeared. He stared upwards expeditiously.

What the fu…?

To his knowledge, he noticed a Elemancer.
Innumerous conclusions span through Reki’s mind all at once. The man seemed like a Fire Mage, Then he had looked at the other man who had awoken him…he seemed like a Soldier coming to help him…the idiotic soldier wanted to help him…those two men was going lead Knights to his position…
Reki’s eyebrows furrowed, but it was followed with a bemused and somewhat relieved smile.
What in Kami’s name do these idiots want?? Soldiers and Elemancers like that one, was not only overconfident it seemed, but naive and prone to stupid ideas. The inexperience that these Soldiers of this displayed was almost unbelievable.
"Well, What do you want?" He spoke through a low but a sturdy voice.

((my the way ima a polemaste))

"just aw you freaking out and wanted to help idget"

Chase watched as The two before him conversed. He felt like just walking away but them saw Reki's eyes.
"He could be of use......"
Chase stood and watched more closely as he played with the dagger his father 'gratefully' gave him. It was still stained with his father's blood. 'Blood of the inocent will never wash away', his uncle once told him. Chase did not care what his uncle had thought. He waited for one of them to spot him.

off in the distance a strange man with a black robe approached the traveling party they turned and reki yelled be u friend of foe but all the mysterious man did was stand there and laughed...he laughed a most evil laugh that only psychotic people would laugh. the mysterious man's eyes wide and yelled my name is toz and i come to delay ur travel......

((can i have a reacap Im really sorry that Im late))

Zenthous saw everyone stoped by some guy in black. "Good." Thought Zenthous. "They're all stopped. But its going to be tough to attack them all." Zenthous decided to wait to really surprise them.

((It's only just the beginning, AG; you don't need a recap it's just a few posts...))
((Oh, TANT; could you please revise your format of typing... there's no problem with grammar but you could do to use some "speech classifications" if you know what i mean. And try to use some commas and paragraphing; all of this helps to keep the threads fun and easy to follow! 😄 😛 😄 ))

Taking another drag, Keii stood up with a bored look on his face and at the howling and literally barking madman who called himself Toz.
"Hey Toz, I'm Keii; you like fire?" his bored expression twisted into a maniacally-demented smile before suddenly turning to Chase as if he knew he was there the whole time, "how 'bout you mate?" only Zenthous remained hidden from the Fire Mage.

His pupils contracted rapidly, both from his heightened emotions and the sudden burst of light that began with a flick of his thumb and forefinger and exploded into a raging fireball in the center of his now-open palm.

Just for dramatic effect, he took in an entire lungfull of his cigarette and replaced it's mangled form with another, lighting it idly off of the pillar of near-white flame that lept from his hand.

Without warning and an outcry of insane babble that could be classed as laughter, Keii charged towards the black-cloaked man from amidst the trees and the campfire, the fireball growing rapidly over his head and between both palms with his tongue flailing and with the obvious intent of hand-delivering the flaring package personally.

((Sanity is for the weak! 😛 ))

((sorry, forgot to say that it was TOZ he's charging at like the demented freak that Keii is... 😛 😛 ))

toz yelled to reki death comes to the weak faster than to the strong toz began to laugh but then suddenly stopped and turned and pointed to Zenthous. Toz yelled are u friend to these disgusting group of people or do u want to see them torucherd! *toz made a fist in his black leather gloved* will u choice to be apart of there demise or will u be apart of my victory.

Keii quickly covered the distance between himself and the black-clad 'laughing-man' called TOZ ((hehe, LaUgHiNg-MaN! Horrah for GITS; SAC!!!)), it seemed that he was using his power over the element of earth to 'accelerate' himself by catapulting each footstep further by forcing the soft grassy-soil beneath his feet upwards and out of the ground it lay in, proppelling the barking wild-fire at breakneck speed; he used his earth magic for agility with his beloved fire casting to assault the man named Toz.

His first ball of raging flame landed just before Toz's feet, sending a violently-buring ring to run around him rapidly as the elemancer flew into the air and well over twelve feet into a mid-air cartwheel, hurling another two bursts of flame towards the crazy man apparently ful of evil mirth.

The only thing that was out of the ordinary was that his leap over their so-called attacker was caused by a sudden pillar of rock that struck out from the ground and threw him into such a high and psychotic menuvere overhead; a thick trail of cigarette smoke followed the near-insane wild-fire through his even more-so insane stunt.

((I know this may seem like much but there are many opportunitiefor you to defend yourself, this isn't godmodding and i never said that i hit you yet, I leave that up to you and I'm sure that's how Death Maker wants us to play; via turn based where you make your move and your opponent reacts, sending their own attack in return))

toz yelled i knew ur weak and used a water spell to put out the fire. toz then said i will be back when u are truely ready to die (toz laughed his evil laugh and in a puff of smoke he was gone)

((Look TANT, you're a Blade weilder and only your character is only eighteen; he wouldn't know water spells and how to teleport so TOZ is still there. Think of some other way to escape this situation so let's just say the origional three attacks by my character were dodged, make your move and fight))

((And another thing, fantasy fire spells don't rely upon elements to burn, just water can't extinguish things like that as the fire doesn't use air or any other combustible materials to burn!!))

Keii landed on the opposite side of the kid Toz, he only appeared around seventeen to eighteen and was really starting to get on his nerves what with all of the maniacal laughter; that was usually his job!
Dropping into a brief concentration stance, he centered his thoughts and remembered the traditional elemancer conjuration enchantments, announcing in a clear voice that was much unlike his own and amplified magically...

"Voorahc!" came the first phrase in the ancient language; his hands outstreched flat to his either side at a nintey-degree angle.

"Lohkai!" he screamed the second, bringing his palms together in a resounding clap.

"VAROKAERN!!!" the third and most powerful word of might he announced with such fervor that seemed to shake the very ground, slowly puling his hands apart and cupping them opposite to eachother; creating a void between them that gave birth to a growing ball of green flame that was now twice the size of his head before thrusting his palms outwards infront of him with each hand's base touching and spat forth a powerful variant of the Burning Hands spell.

As the line of fire flew forth Keii announced one final phrase; the common-language variant for the spell in a mighty roar, "Dragon's Tongue!" echoed his amplified voice as his hands became a green flamethower, controlling the direction of the liquid fire in it's purest magical form as it spat forth towards Toz.

((I love that spell, favorite one in DnD!))
((Terribly innacurate but devastating in the right 'hands', lol; though can only be cast once per day, twice for a high-level master...))

( dude im so sry i was really confused but know i get it sry!!!)
toz knew he wouldn't be able to get out of the way in time to avoid the green ball of fire so he pulled out his giant sword witch was hidden be hide his long black cape his sword was 3 feet long and 7 feet tall after the blast hit the sword toz's face appeared from be hide it and he glanced at his sword quickly then toz said this is my best friend wrath and that little magic trick u did only made the steel go from sliver to black toz began to laugh then toz picked up wrath over his head witch appeared to be very easy for toz and he jumped into the air pouncing down on him like a tiger on a antelope toz's eyes gleamed with fire with his devilish smile and evil laugh, no one has seen this side of toz before even because of his psychotic ways this was different it was like he didt want to but something was contorting him to then reki teleported out of the way and said u have to be better than that.
