A few notes:
</font>

• I reply with the same amount of effort you give me. You give me two sentences, I give you two sentences. </font>
• Pay attention! I might have told you to post again. Some situations are a little too hasty for me to post a reply to. </font>
• If I've given you a handsome half-elf to play with, PLEASE be careful with him!</font>
• Some of you may be finishing your stories within the next few chapters. No pressure to folks who joined late! </font>
• Once again, I'm starting up a new game this summer (that's significantly different from this one). It won't have as many players as this one, so if you want a slot, you may want to inquire now. </font>
• If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. </font>
• All people who win awards (below) have full permission to gloat.</font>

<center><font color=teal><font size=4>And now the moment you've all been waiting for...</font></font>
<font color=indianred><font size=5>THE AWARDS!!</font></font>

I couldn't decide on just one of you wonderful people, so we're handing out awards in catagories...

The first category is 'Best Make-Up/Costumes'
And the winner is...
GLORFINDEL!!
[img]graemlins/yaya.gif[/img] Though he whistles underwater, he looks damn good well doing it. Gills, scales, and webbed feet. ;) Simply ma-valous.

The second category is 'Best Special Effects'
And the winner is...
NEB!!
[img]graemlins/yaya.gif[/img] We all saw that pulsing brain in the floating mirror! [img]graemlins/hairfreak.gif[/img] We may not have wanted too, but them's some special effects!

The third category is 'Best Director'
And the winner is...
TALTHYR!!
[img]graemlins/yaya.gif[/img] He's gone to both sides of the Bulwark, proving that when he wants ACTION, he screams it through a megaphone! [img]graemlins/director.gif[/img] Congrats!

The fourth category is 'Best Supporting Actor'
And the winner is...
ANGEL OF DEATH!!
[img]graemlins/yaya.gif[/img] His apprentice generally gets more action than him, but that's OK! [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] He's good eye candy. Like Billy Zane in Zoolander! Except... Cooler!

The fifth category is 'Best Supporting Actress'
And the winner is...
TAO!!
[img]graemlins/yaya.gif[/img] Unfortunately our friend can't be here to accept her award. [img]graemlins/loveya.gif[/img] But she'd like to thank all the little people.

The sixth category is 'Best Leading Actress'
And the winner is...
SKYE!!
[img]graemlins/yaya.gif[/img] We laughed, we cried, we ruined Spree's new jeans! [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] "An no takin Toby! He'z mine, not yers!"

The seventh category is 'Best Leading Actor'
And the winner is...
LARRY!
[img]graemlins/yaya.gif[/img] This is all part of his plan... [img]graemlins/flash.gif[/img] Smirk for the camera!

<font color=skyblue>I would like to thank Spree for not only providing me with that award, but also to thank her for giving us one hell of a good game to play in. She must really work OT to provide a story and plot, not to mention NPC interaction (Thanks for the girls ;) ) , and I cannot begin to imagine how she does it. She really deserves an award for best Director, Choreographer, leading Actor/Actress with NPC interaction for us, and certainly the most devoted to the game's success.
Ain't nobody works harder than she...if you disagree, I'll ban your sorry ass from my forum! ;) </font>

I know I'm not entitled to say any words here.... [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] but I shall, anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Spree's doing a fantastic job and I'm just so sorry that I can't commit too much time these days to RPG. Well-done, Spree! :thumbsp:

[img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] Thank you Larry! [img]graemlins/bighug.gif[/img] Thank you Mistral! (Whispers something in Mistral's ear)
<font color=red><font size=6>GROUP HUG!</font></font>

Lerris

<font color=silver>~Ryeley nodded his head, sighing.~ "Yes sir..." ~He walked a step behind you, sulkingly, not saying a word. (He sticks his tongue out at you!)~</font>

Tril'orbb

<font color=silver>~Lac'Nala beamed.~ "Let's go then!" ~Taking your arm, she led you across the busy street and into the tavern. Inside you saw many drow huddled at tables or partaking in other services the inn offered. Lac'Nala pointed to the far corner.~ "See over there my Tril'orbb? Fighting pits. Fun to bet on, unbelievably entertaining to fight in."</font>

Skye

<font color=silver>~Toby tried to put his foot down. He tried to refuse and do what his mother would be proud of... But he couldn't! Those puppy dawg eyes were just too... GAH!~ "Missee, I'm nobody to deny a goddess' wishes!" ~Without warning he then picked you up and paced down the hall toward his bedroom, kissing you all the way. (Now you were in for a fun-filled night of crazy eights and monopoly! ROFL!)~</font>

<font color=skyblue>Larry looked up at the sky and yelled, "Mithia! Why did you give me a talking horse? Now I gotta put up with an animal telling me off! I'll get you for this!"

Turning to the beast, he said, "Well, do you already know which way, or do I need to bother with the map"?</font>

(ooc: thanks for the continuing good times, hopefully I'll get a chance to join the new game, this was my first RPG like this!!)

*Looking back, out of the corner of my eye, replying VERY sarcastically* ~I saw that, smarty-pants.~

~ok, lets roll~ *slowly using my staff as a poking device, we slowly begin to move forward* ~ You know all good wizards need a staff, as soon as we get out of here, we are going to town to get you an apprentice staff. SHHHH!!!! what was that sound.......

Tril'orbb

He grinned, "Fighting pits, eh? Hmmm... I believe that I'd like to try fighting in them. Will I be pitting myself against other Drow or will I be fighting captive creatures of some sort? Perhaps surface elves?" He wandered over closer to the fighting pits to have a look.

Murdock
The Red Silence, Zali'fey Oasis
<font color=silver>~Ruinem's ears pricked forward, listening intently to your voice. A fore hoof scratched the packed sand. Bobbing his head agreeably, he whuffled.~ "Celebring and I went this way many times." ~The horse gnashed his teeth.~ "Though he didn't weight half as much as you do!" ~With a snort, he kicked sand at the tack that lay on the ground. He then nipped your shoulder hard.~ "Come on then! I won't throw you if you promise to watch your heals!" ~You mounted the horse grudgingly. No sooner had you settled did the stallion rear high, nearly tossing you, and began running across the faceless sand in the assumed direction of the city.~</font>

Lerris
[img]tongue.gif[/img] A Cave
<font color=silver>~Ryeley chuckled, replacing his tongue in his mouth.~ "Heh heh."
~When you voiced concern over noises, Ryeley looked tense. He whispered.~ "I told you we should have sent a fireball down here!" ~Holding his breath, he held one hand to the cold stone wall of the cavern.~ "I'm gonna sneak down and see what it is..."</font>

Tril'orbb
Drow City Of Jess Che'el
<font color=silver>~Lac'Nala grinned, stepping beside you to view the battles in the ring. Currently a male drow and an incredibly large bugbear were tearing eachother apart. The two of you stood jeering with the crowd until the drow stood triumphantly over the carcass of his oponent. Loc'Nala now put a hand on your shoulder and whispered in your ear.~ "There's a high elf to be had in the third ring, Tril'orbb. How would you like that?"</font>

*claps for k-spree* you are the best rping mod!! great imagination! great npcs! great stories!! great everything!!! *hoping doesn't have to pay for new jeans* ^_^;; lol. but seriously, you're really good at this. ^_^ YAYYAYYAY [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
OOC- now my question is this- is this nite "censored" and skip to the next morning, or should i go with this? ^.^ I think Skye's looking forward to the crazy eights and monopoly. ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]
IC- Skye returned the kisses and clutched to Toby's neck, in order not to fall. When they had reached Toby's bedroom, they incountered a problem. They couldn't open the door without putting Skye down and stop kissing. :D
OOC- oh no! What a dilemma!!! :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Skye
Castle Grella, Lucky Lance Tavern
(ooc: :D We are caffiene-addict poster children!! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] :D [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Just let your coffee do the talking for cripes sake! Toby's high on the Coca-Cola and he wants to get some Twister in before the night's up!! ROFLMAO!)

<font color=silver>~Toby muttered frustration beneath his breath, trying to fiddle with the doorknob as he moved on to your neck.~ "Ah shit..." ~Desperately, he formulated a quick plan. He hitched you onto his hip. This left him with a free hand to open the door, and he could content himself with your shoulder for a moment. The door creaked open, and he eagerly picked you up, leaping from three feet away onto the unmade bed.~</font> (ooc:And reaching onto the nightstand for his chess board. :D CENSOR TIME!)
