David the Wanderer -> (DF) A Paladin's journey (6/25/2014 14:02:01)

Well, since I've started writing my very first AE-based story, which is the backstory of my character, I think i should also set up a discussion thread! Here's a link to the story: http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=21726410&mpage=1&key=�

About the story itself, is Ahtrik's pulling a Coeuraservi? (Using Paladin magic to resist lycantrophy.)

As for the two boys, are they initiates to the Church of Light or how did they get an old Paladin, loyal to the Lord of Light alone, to tutor them?

I don't have any comments other than that is looking impressive thus far and I'm looking forward where you are going with this.

On the grammar: Third time I'm explaining it ([:D]): Basically, yes, it's not grammatically correct, but it's an error you'd see often, to the point many people won't catch it. I think it also sounds better, more... taunting. And since I'm using it in a dialogue, and it's being uttered by a character who, amongst his crimes, cares not for grammar (a truly heinous criminal, he is!), I deemed it ok to use it.

The two boys, which will be the focus of the story, are indeed initiates of the Church of Light. Since, as far as I know, in the DF world there has never been any specific description of how the Paladin Order works, I've decided to make up some stuff: basically, any aspiring paladin needs to be tutored by an accomplished paladin (preferably a senior one) before effectively joining the order. Next chapter (which will come soon. Sorry for the delay, but the AKship tackled me as soon as I posted the prologue!) will expand a bit more on that.

At long last, new chapter! I seriously need to stop being so lazy... Anyways, hope you guys like it!

Pretty good chapter. I'm looking forward as to how you describe the Paladin headquarters in greater detail.

After David had lost count of (how) long he had fought, he readied himself to strike at yet another elemental, when he noticed that the chapel was empty apart from himself and the other recruits. Slowly, David lowered his sword and looked around, making sure that nothing was hiding in the shadows.


I liked it too. Especially the part with Fred vs the World Elementals.



David the Wanderer -> RE: (DF) A Paladin's journey (9/7/2014 9:08:32)

@Dwelling Dragonlord: Thanks! As for the headquarters, I actually have sketched a map for them, as well as a lot of stuff (walls, floors, decorations) for certain rooms, and even some outside areas! Sadly, I probably won't be able to show all of it, since the focus will move from Swordhaven to other locations.

@Kian: Thank you too! Writing the combat scene was really fun, but now that I'm re-reading it, I think I should give Fred a win, once in a while. He's supposed to be a somewhat good fighter, after all. That said, if I ever write something from Fred's POW, it's going to be called "Fred vs. the World". [;)]



Kian -> RE: (DF) A Paladin's journey (9/7/2014 17:51:36)

Yeah, you should! Team Fred! :D
And I'd be honored if you were to do that ^^



David the Wanderer -> RE: (DF) A Paladin's journey (11/4/2014 11:34:47)

After ages of waiting, procrastinating and more coffee than you can possibly imagine, I finally posted chapter 2!!

Swordhaven's walls aren't white, I'd say.

A good and solid chapter, the only issue I had with the plot was that it seems unthinkable that for such an important mission they would ask for volunteers rather than assign a group of veteran paladins.



David the Wanderer -> RE: (DF) A Paladin's journey (11/5/2014 11:46:29)

Gah, did I really make all these errors? I swear, rise/rose/risen gets me every time... Anyways, corrected everything. I guess I was thinking of AQW Swordhaven, which does have white walls. DF Swordhaven is more... White/grey, I guess.

Well, some say Paladins are Lawful Stupid... Other say that just because you worship the Light, it doesn't means you can't have a few tricks ready. *throws a smoke bomb and runs away before revealing spoilers*
