Fire. Smoke. The stench of burning flesh and wood. Those were the first sensations to assault Kali as she awoke. Her eyes widened in horror as they took in the destruction that had taken place. The destruction she had wrought. She fell to her knees, tears coming to her eyes.

She turned to look behind her and saw nothing but the forest that she was raised in, burning to the ground. Some of the trees were still on fire, flames still smoldering on some of the more healthy trees. Further in the distance were the mages that had been her teachers. Their bodies were burned and blackened as they had run in a futile attempt to escape the magic that was running wild in Kali. From a distance, the sound of an army could be heard approaching. The thundering of their hooves brought Kali back to reality.

She got back to her feet and started running. Away from the army that was coming to kill her. Away from the lives she had taken, away from the destruction she brought everywhere she went. Most of all she ran from the weight of the responsibility that was on her shoulders.

She ran, but she was not fast enough. Soon, the mages of the Radiant Empire were upon her. They moved impossibly quick, darting around the trees and jumping over fallen logs. When they got close enough, they loosened bolts of fire and lightning at her. Flashes of a fiery orange and dazzling blue blazed all around her, but they missed their mark. Craters created from the battle magic being flung at Kali smoked, throwing up an unintentional smoke screen for her, giving her a chance to widen the gap between them.

"Aaargh!" Kali cried out as a searing flash of pain shot through her left shoulder. She tumbled to the ground and rolled into the fall. When she came to a stop, she wasted no time getting back up and running. But it was too late. Kali had reached the end of the Great Forest and now stood at what seemed to be the beginning of the Green Plains. Far outside of the boundaries of the empire.

The mages had used their magic to outrun her and then surrounded her. Ten of the Empire's finest war mages had her in their sights. This was the end for her.

"Stop this! I am the Avatar of Flame! You must obey me!" Kali cried out with a fierceness she didn't really feel.

"That is inaccurate. You used to be the Avatar of Flame. But since you've failed to learn to control The Spark and killed some of our Order, you must be...removed from your role as Avatar." One of the mages said. He stepped forward, breaking away from the circle. He wore a very real looking masks that had the face of a wolf, fangs and all. He reached up and took off the mask slowly.

"Uncle!" Kali gasped. "Please!"

The man, Kali's Uncle shook his head, tears falling from his eyes. "I cannot help you, Kali. Not this time." He slowly raised his arm, blue sparks crackling and wrapping around his hand. The other mages mirrored him. Kali backed away from her Uncle and the others.

"No! Wait!" Kali begged, The men started chanting and a circle of magic was raised, trapping Kali and her Uncle inside the center of the circle. They began chanting in low voices. The magic of the circle grew brighter and brighter.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!" Kali cried. Her eyes glowed the color of magma and her hair started to float around her, as if she was swimming in the air. Her body slowly rose into the air and as she arose, she extended her arms outwards and closed her eyes.

She had spent most of her entire life training to control the power that laid within her. But the nature of that power was too destructive, too distant from her own nature. She never learned the keys to mastering her own power.

But now, when she needed it most, her power didn't fail her. It wasn't a question of learning, or memorizing chants and incantations, it was a matter of need. In order to to save herself, Kali dug deep down inside of herself and PUSHED

Power flowed out of Kali and surged across the field that she and the mages found themselves in. Magma materialized in the air before her, scorching everything in sight. The air was literally set on fire as the magma rolled through it.

Her uncle was gone in an instant, swallowed up by the flames. The mages that were reinforcing him died seconds after them.

With the threat gone, the power seemed to just shut off. Kali plunged towards the ground and her head bounced on the dirt. And then there was darkness.

I think I win....

I was just at work browsing comicvine today, which I've been doing less and less, and a question popped into my head: If it wasn't for plot who would win? And I'm not even talking about a fight. I'm talking about if Batman, with all of his skills ad resources(besides other heroes and sidekicks) at his disposal, could successfully play the role of a body guard if Joker was the assassin?

Here's the scenario; There's a visiting dignitary in Gotham and the Joker wants them dead. Batman is on the case and is determined to stop the Joker. They'd be in an embassy so there will of course be heavy security.

I'm sure there's been a comic book about this, but the results of those battles were basically because of the needs of the story. What's been bugging me all day is, would Batman still be able to pull out a victory if it was in a more "real life" setting?

My money says no. I think The Joker is way too ruthless. He'd probably think of some savage plan so crazy Bruce won't be able to prep for it because he couldn't possibly imagine the things Joker would do.

Anyway, what do you guys think? If this battle has been done and discussed, my bad and post the link! I'd like to read it!

@cbishop: yea man. Been trying to clear up some mental energy, my vote is hopefully the first small step.

i vote for cbishop

For the night is dark and filled with Terror.

Hey all, I'm not really a big poster on the RPG boards but I read a lot of the RP's here and I had an idea that could be roleplayed out. I haven't seen it done, but maybe it has been already? Anyway, here's my idea. Also this has nothing to do with Game of Thrones.

Recently I did some research on public domain characters and stumbled on a character known as Zambini the Miracle man. After try to find out some info on him online, I didn't find much so I thought, "hey I should use this character!". I haven't put him to use yet, but I think that there's an idea that's ripe for roleplay, seei G as you guys have shown an ability to roleplay very well together. I don't really see that on other sites. Anyway, on to my idea. (I know, I said that already)

Basically Zambini is a ridiculously powerful mage/magician/wizard/sorcerer/reality warper/magic user. Or at least he will be once he gets training. He is unaware of his gifts, however, he's always had an interest in the occult/supernatural. One day, he decides to indulge in his hobby and buys a Grimoire at a book shop. He takes the book home and peruses it. He discovers a spell that should turn dreams to reality. Young Zambini chooses this spell as the one he wants to try out. He and a close friend of his prepare the spell and cast it. But oh no! Zambini has made a mistake on his pronunciation!

The Consequences are a twisted spell that makes nightmares real. And not just Zambini's nightmares, but everyone's nightmares. All over the universe, people's nightmares start coming to life and attacking them. Soon the nightmares start taking over our reality and they won't stop until there is nothing left but nightmares.

The Nightmare Hordes have no known weaknesses. They are super strong, super fast, super invulnerable (is that a thing) they don't need to sleep, eat, or breath. The only thing they need is to kill. They cannot be stopped, only slowed.

This RPG can be like one of those events where all the hereos can fight until they can't fight and are killed. Then the last ones make a stand and are slaughtered. Until that one light shines in the middle of the darkness and is not overcome. Then that light can set everything back to normal.

Doesnt have to be a Canon rp. But it can be fun to play out.

Pro's:

Your character, can go all out. They can give it their all in an effort to save not just their world, but reality itself.

Interesting character interactions since villains and hereos and anti-hereos and anti-antihereos will come together in hopes of defeating the darkness.

Cons:

This idea is suggested by a someone who's not on this board so this post may not even be valid according to this board's rules.

Your character may have to die?

And probably a whole lot of other things you guys will think of that I didn't.

Anyway, it was just an idea I had for a character I've taken a liking to. I'd love to roleplay it out of there's interest.

Uh I guess pm me or comment here?

Just realized this was labeled as chapter 17 but it was supposed to be 18. Just now fixed it.
