last of multiple posts. see the rest on the previous page

in new varrock, zemouregal looks through an orb, and sees the adventuring party composed of jack, christina and duncan. he starts speaking to himself

zemouregal: "Heh heh. Kill all you want. There are more than enough for all of you. How annoying that the other two got out of my sight, though."

he then changes the view to edgeville and notices ashlin facing off against lucien

zemouregal: "Hah. Fool. Fighting a mahjarrat alone like that is asking for death. If he wishes for a challenge, however, I¨ll be happy to oblige..."

he turns his head towards someone. it is the christina of this world, but details are impossible to make out at the moment

zemouregal: "Christina. Spice up the fight a little."

without missing a beat, christina 2.0 puts her hands to the side, preparing to cast magic in the direction of edgeville

zemouregal: (I don't know how she does it, but as long as she gets the job done, I guess I don't need to care. Weird. I don't recognize most of the spells she's using. I don't think she does either.)

Almost as quickly as they swarm into the cave, the icefields are dispatched quickly by the party’s counter-attack. I add in a few thrown spinning blades made from solid fire, slicing through several opponents. The larger icefiends prove more difficult to deal with, but other than that are just bigger versions of their brethren.

Me: We might be able to seal off the cave, but I can sense light coming from the outside, even though it’s weak from here. I want to find out where it leads, if we’re under a mountain then it might give us a good viewpoint!

Before I can set foot inside the tunnel, there’s a blast if frozen air. The party is pushed back a couple of feet, and the walls of the cave we’re in begin to frost over. Large icicles form on the ceiling.

Jack: Look out!

Christina, Barlor 2.0 and I just manage to jump back as the icicles being dropping down, targeted at us. After a moment of chaos avoiding the frozen shards, a much larger icefiend enters the room and begins attacking us as the luminescent icefiend theme begins playing.

Me: I’ll take care of that attack!

I use pictoconjuration to summon a fireshield to protect us from the falling icicles.



Me: That will last longer than something made with energy conjuration.

I begin firing the same fireblades at the boss.

after briefly getting over the amazement at witnessing the fire shield, jack turns towards the large icefiend

jack: "A monstrous icefiend that rains icicles. Barlor mentioned fighting something like that."

duncan shoots blades of fire at the icefiend and the overall heat from the shield weakens it. however, the steam from the icicles melting and evaporating alongside the aforementioned heat turns the place to a sauna. back at new varrock, the action distracts zemouregal from the ashlin/lucien fight

zemouregal: "This fight seems to be going nowhere. Christina. Time to spice up THIS battle. make it something worth watching, but remember: I want the woman alive."

christina 2.0 seems to think deeply. back at the cave, the area starts to get far colder, weakening the fire shield and strengthening the icefiend. christina also feels a purple aura surrounding her. she recognizes it as a teleport spell and, in a fit of panic, teleblocks herself. the icefiend starts to recover from the fight, and rapid fires its own arms. jack and barlor 2.0 each deflect one, side buying christina time to regain her composure. her staff/flail (not sure what to call it) starts to float in the air and she brings her hands together to conjure a damaging fire spell, and she fires it (pun not intended) full power at the icefiend. it relents from the impact and having warmed up (again not intended), she strikes it with another for good measure

in the magma cave, i, sarah and the stranger walk through the cave, seeking the end. it seems unstable, and tremors are frequent as stalactites and formations crumble and fall. after some wandering, we find a small formation on the floor shaped like a stand. on it is an ominous looking orb

sarah: "Hmm? What should we do with this? I'd say leave it alone, but I wonder what happens if we take it. Maybe it's some kind of magical artifact, a chronicle of sorts... or maybe it's just there to look good. I have to say though, it's... kinda... alluring."

sarah becomes increasingly enamored with the orb. it radiates a feeling of power. i recognize it as a type of corruption, but sarah has little experience with such things. she stares at it without a blink, and envisions herself in ways she has never done before. in her orb-induced daydream, she sees all her friends felled by her hands. her face has a malicious, almost evil grin. she then sees herself sitting on a throne, wearing an imposing yet elegant dress, clad in jewels while undead servants work tirelessly to fulfill her every need. on her forehead is an equally threatening crown decorated with gems. in the real world, sarah gets more closely drawn to the orb, until i bring my fist down on it, shattering it to pieces. after the initial jumpscare, sarah regains her senses

sarah: "What... what was that!?"

me: "Temptations. It has been feeding you false desires. I felt something similar back at Daemonheim."

sarah: "False desires, huh? Yeah, I can see that now. Was it up to me, I wouldn't sit around all day or wear fancy clothes, and I sure wouldn't kill anyone who mattered to me."

the quakes get more active, as if responding to the orb shattering. magma starts flowing on previously dry ground

sarah: "Uh... I'll take that as a sign to get out of here."

i was not expecting such exposition heavy text. my first thoughts were "the team finds an orb and barlor smashes it". improvising at its finest

Ice caves

Me: Drat!

With a sweeping hand gesture, I pull the fire in the shield, concentrating it into a barrier that shields us only from the front. After this, I follow up Christina’s attacks by throwing more of the feather shaped fireblades at the luminescent icefiend.

Just as the fight seems to be getting back on track, there’s a crash and dust clouds up the cave for a few seconds. A large troll covered in ice lumbers in and roars aggressively.

This is cut short by a large rock falling squarely on its head. There’s a slightly awkward pause as it rubs its scalp, getting its bearings again and glaring at the party as if eyeing up its next meal.

The troll slams its fist into the ground a huge wall of icicles springs up from the ground, filling the height of the cave and splitting the party in two, with Christina and Jack still facing the icefield, and Barlor 2.0 and me finding ourselves face to face with an already charging Icy Bones.

Luckily what remained of the fire barrier split in two, leaving a smaller version protecting each pair.

Me: I’ll weaken it!

I tuck my arms in before fling them outwards, summoning a barrage of glowing orange lights that spin around, forming into a steady vortex of the flame-quills. As the troll brute forces its way toward us, bits of the ice covering it break away as its health is chipped at by the vortex.

Magma Caves

The stranger walks forward and pulls on a heavy glove before picking up a shard of the orb. What with it being quieter and lighter in here, Barlor and Sarah see that he looks identical to me except for round glasses instead of square ones, and shorter darker hair that’s spiked back. He has two grey stripes but seems the same age nonetheless. He also seems a little more well-spoken.

Stranger: This is some good crystal. It’s still got a hefty amount of that dark enchantment, whatever it was. Shame it was wasted on such a depraved spell.

As the cavern begins to shake, he nods at Sarah’s comment.

Stranger: Agreed. If you’ll give me a moment -

Crouching down, he places his free hand on the ground and closes his eyes for a few seconds, as if concentrating.

He then drives his sword into the ground, turning it almost like a key in a lock. The ground beneath the three tremors and rises a little. The rock around breaks into pieces and moves around it, propelling the tile they’re on straight toward the cave wall.

Before either of the other two have time to yell that they’re heading straight for the wall, they make impact - there’s a cloud of dust, and when it clears they’re still charging along, now with a new large arch in the wall behind them.

They slow down in a large boiling cavern where lava falls descend lazily into a murky abyss. The only relatively stable way across seems to be a natural stone bridge leading to an opening on the other side of the pit. On a wider, circular section halfway across there seems to be three suits of dark armour standing, like the type the black knights have but more elaborate. There seems to be a glimmer of red in their eyes for a second, but as the party spots them it dies out, as if they’d just imagined it.

(Yeah, I like the improvisational stuff we can do on the journey through the caves, like having a monster of the week without it feeling like the story is taking a backseat)

(if i am being honest, i think random conflicts is what forum fight is supposed to be anyway. i feel like i took it a bit too far away from its roots with this story going on, but it resulted in the creation of three more characters and we might as well carry on to the end of the story. i have actually planned a huge, climactic finale, but then i realized how far on the roleplaying side it went, so i simplified it so that it can end more quickly when all the fighting in the story is finished. a complex story with moral ambiguity does not sound much like "forum fight" to me. has that actually happened before i came or did my presence alone make the tone darker and more serious?)

barlor 2.0: "An ice troll? That brings me back."

the group is split. all fighters take note of the situation and duncan does his stuff. on the couples side, christina attempts to maintain the barrier, utilizing protection players to shield herself when needed. jack attempts to pummel the icefiend, but the ice is still too hard to crash and only a sliver is chipped off. he reels from the impact and the icefiend takes the opportunity for a nasty punch. jack quickly regains his composure, however, and uses the momentum to narrowly dodge the punch and deliver a swift counter, hitting it right on its cheek

on the other side, barlor 2.0 and duncan face off against the troll. as it forces its way through the vortex, barlor 2.0 goes for a charge. he dodges its strike with a duck to the right, winds up and hits its stomach with the hammer. the troll proves more resilient than expected and barlor 2.0 is rewarded with a sucker punch to the face. he follows up with another hammer swing, ignoring the impact from the punch

varrock castle

zemouregal watches over the group, and is thrilled with the introduction of the troll

zemouregal: "Heh heh. Maybe that'll even the odds. Come on, little pawns. Entertain me."

after a while, he suddenly feels a sharp pain, almost like his very soul was struck. he keels over for a moment, but then asserts himself and continues like nothing happened

christina 2.0: "Is something wrong?"

zemouregal: "No, no. Nothing's wrong. About the fight... I had enough entertainment for now. End the fight, but leave the lovers alone. The man's of no use to me, but he might make a useful bargaining chip."

christina 2.0: "And about the two others?"

zemouregal: "Kill them."

magma caves

the journey is finished and we stand in the aforementioned room. sarah is pumped, but i just treat it like a normal day

sarah: "Woo! Let's do that again!"

me: "No. We must find a way to varrock. It appears that bridge is our only option."

sarah notices the eyes on the statues were glowing for a moment

sarah: "Huh? Did that statue just..."

me: "Hm?"

sarah: "Never mind that. Let's get going. Only one way to find out what happens."

just to make sure, sarah gets out her rope and places the coil on her hip. She cautiously, but uneventfully, walks towards the suits of armor. she then taps a little on the closest one.

sarah: "Hello? Anyone in there?"

nothing happens for a moment, but then the halberd the armor carries is suddenly brought down on her. she just manages to dodge with a little hop

sarah: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Haven't you heard not to hit girls?"

the three knights then walk slowly, but surely towards her. they start to corner her

sarah: "Not much for conversation, huh? Fine. I'll make you wish you could say sorry."

she fires an arrow on one of the knights. it gets the full impact to the head, but keeps walking unflinchingly. sarahs confidence seems to drop as she dons a nervous smile, but then lunges towards the knights and vaults over one to make an escape

sarah: "Guess I'll just need to get smart then."

i then rush in and tackle a knight with my shoulder. it reels back a little, then makes another approach. another knight swings its halberd. being animated, the strike is a lot harder than an ordinary human is capable of. however, i am no ordinary human and parry the swing, albeit with more effort than normal

EDIT: huh, just realized jack is the only character i created now who does not have an evil counterpart. not that he needs one, i just noticed it

May as well finish my fight also all of this talk of doppelgängers has given me an idea for latter. But for now I'll just keep everyone guessing. Also to answer your question about whether or not Forum Fight RPs have always been this dark well yea pretty much. Although you'll occasionally get that one person who mixes a bit of humour in.

Edgeville


*As the fight continues my suit warns me of an impending magical attack. I quickly dodge it buy am met with a giant godly fist slamming me into the ground. I look up to see a now gigantic Lucien. Half of my armours visor falls off and Lucien looks at me in horror.*

Lucien: Can it be? No this must some kind of trick. But just incase I'll use the stone.

*Lucien summons the stone of Jas and places it on his gigantic chest. I smile at the sight of this.*

Me: Just the opportunity I was looking for.

*My visor regenerates and I jump up and my fist glows. I then punch the stone so hard that it shatters causing a massive explosion of energy knocking both of us back. I then carry the energy in one hand.*

Lucien: How is this possibl-

*Before Lucien can finish the ball of energy slices his throat and I quickly pull out a strange antenna like device which absorbs the now deceased Mahjarrat god's energy. I then recall the orb and the godly energy that was absorbed from Lucien and it eventually forms into a ring.*

Me: Excellent now I have what I came here for.

*My armour retracts its helmet and sleeves and sparks clearly damaged.*

Varrock Castle


Zemouregal: How did he... I'm going to kill him! Come Christina!

???: Now there's no need for that.

*Zemouregal turns to face a dark hooded figure who Christina is already bowing down to. He quickly does the same.*

Zemouregal: Emperor!

???: Leave the one who defeated Lucien for now. But do with the others as you please.

Zemouregal: Of course my liege.

*The hooded figure quickly vanishes and reappears atop the castle.* The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.
