[Sir Neil]

For several reasons I am trying to limit this timeline to multi-character adventures, but I realize there were other critical events, like Eilonwy and OG DK's appearance, that could confuse a new poster.

I went throught pages of back posts the other night to compile this, but I wasn't able to finish. Particularly, I wasn't able to find the numerous intra-Russian team-ups, and I couldn't find dates or a roster for the Cypris (sp) Cove battle.

Help & comments?

[Natasha]

Do you know of specific Russian team-ups you could not find?
Or you merely know of some team-ups but didn't find them?

Such as Bert in Nalchik, et cetera.

[Sir Neil]

Both. I know Kolya and Sasha have had several adventures together, including one with a teleporting ice fairy and another against proto-juicers, but I think I was in Army training when they started posting up a storm, and don't know how many there were. (I also didn't know Bert did any missions with them at all.) Next week I'll have the time to go through back issues and try to find them.

As far as Cypress Cove, I know Fate, Holister, Celeste, and Bert were involved, but there were a lot more.

[Natasha]

It wasn't a mission, just an event. Nothing significant, although I think it was another fun one between Bert and LazNat. And by fun I'm talking about the kind of fun Bert and LazNat had in a D.C. hotel room. You can find these by searching for "Nalchik" and the other is entitled something like "Bert, Me, and a DC Hotel Room" or some such.

You could probably find the Siberian adventure by searching for "Ilya", one of the mages that participated.

[sasha]

Proto-juicer is old, look in October 2005. Search for "runway" and Kolya as the author.

[Sir Neil]

Thanks, it helped me find the Cypress Cove roster and some intraRussian adventures. (Found the proto-juicer, too, but it's a solo.)

[Xar]

You know what would be helpful to Lazlo Society wannabes? Links to these specific threads, so that one could go in and read what truly represents the way things are done well at this site.

I've read the gormaglut story and loved it, and a couple of the others seem familiar, but I'd really like to read them fully.

Thanks

[Xar]

Excellent! Thank you.

Ecclesia war story is here

[Sir Neil]

Yeah, 8-Ball bought it in Mexico.

...read what truly represents the way things are done well at this site.

Er, yeah, about that...

Some of them are excellent adventures well told. Others are over-the-top ridiculous in any game except maybe Heroes Limited or Rifts (where they're just implausible.) I'm not a creative writing teacher, and I like the posters over there, so I'm not going to say which is which. (Except for calling out that hack, Willie Long!)

The second thing is, the board has a 10 link per post limit. It might be interesting if people would post links to stories they want to promote.

[Sir Neil]

I've never seen that one. Evar.

This story's ending flew completely under the radar.

This story is the first Ron Caliburn adventure. The man the myth the legend starts there.

[Sir Neil]

Fixed. I've been meaning to ask you, what powers does GhostSpider have? What about Karlash?

[Jefffar]

Now he consorts with Necromancers and plots foul deeds.

[Sir Neil]

I just remembered that Heather Dawes and the Russians were involved in something, but I don't recall the details.

[sasha]

All of Heather's older posts have been removed. So it's a bit of a choppy read.

[Sir Neil]

It was enough to reconstruct what happened. Thanks. Are there any other holes in the timeline that I need to fill?

[sasha]

None that I can remember at the moment. Except for one. Scotty and Ethan looked for McVay in December 2007.

[Sir Neil]

I think I'm all caught up.

[Sir Neil]

Oh yeah -- Clarity.

What month did she team up with the Caliburns?

[Jefffar]

New Year's Eve/Day

[Sir Neil]

What am I missing now?

[Cybermancer]

Let's see, in July of 2009, Nemesis was in the town of Ashcroft to assassinate a vampire named 'Vlad' but winds up fighting to contain a zombie breakout. The stories still in progress.

In January of 2010, Hannah's mother, Sarah was killed by Not Ron. Hannah went into hiding and Ron went on the hunt.

Several days later Nemesis goes to check out the scene and is drawn into the investigation to see what happened.

Cab312/Mack is the next one to join the investigation, adding his medium powers. 'Monocle' makes her first appearance. Cab312 is the first person to meet Nemesis in person although they are still disguised at this point.

Shang Li 'cleans' the site of Sarah's murder.

Technocrat begins assisting Nemesis by providing his technological know how to the investigation.

Early Febuary, Skeptic joins the investigation. Nemesis meets him under the guise of 'Steph', a ruse he sees through. Regardless, he keeps her secret.

A little later, Hannah reveals clues online as to her whereabouts. Enough that Nemesis is able to figure out where she is. This prompts Nemesis, to (foolishly) confront Not Ron. He gets into her head. She manages to get out a few distress calls before she succumbs to his mental assault.

Clarity Grace is the first to get to Nemesis and heals her. Then Skeptic and Cab312 show up to get her to a safe house just minutes before a mob hit team arrives and fills her room full of bullets.

Eilwony Solstice also comes to Nemesis' aid, entering her dreams and helping her confront and eventually expel Not Ron.

With Nemesis down for the moment, Hannah encounters her boyfriend, Peter. Just as they're about to have their first kiss on Valentines day, Not Ron arrives having used the information he pirated from Nemesis' head. Peter is revealed to be a were-jaguar. He is able to hold off Not Ron long enough for Hannah to escape.

A short while later, Nemesis picks up Hannah and they make their escape, hooking up with Kolya and his crew of Russian supernatural hunters, Skeptic and of course, Cab312. They retire to Kolya's ranch in Utah. At this point, Nemesis' identity is entirely revealed to the boards as Darcy, a young woman.

Ron Caliburn resurfaces. He shows up to rescue his old friend, Konthaak. Outside of Konthaak's house, a team consisting of Shang Li, Ron Caliburn, Brutal and Reckoner hold off some bat like demon monster. Technocrat is also present but rather than engage, choses to running screaming like a little girl instead. He does manage to retain enough presence of mind to drive the family to safety. Whether they like it or not.

Mar 2010:

While in Utah, Death comes for Hannah. She somehow summoned him to take her to the Fey Realm. This prompts Ron Caliburn to go to Utah.

Doctor Boggs arrives to help the group crossover but his ritual fails for reasons unknown.

Shortly thereafter, Natasha arrives and 'summons' Cybermancer in front of Koyla. Cybermancer is able to send the whole team over to the Fey Realm in an adventure yet to be related on the boards. Hannah returns before her rescue party, prompting Cybermancer to abort the mission.

The whole group (less Cybermancer and Dr. Boggs), returns to DC. They take up residence in a safe house provided by a friend of Ron's.

Sometime during this time, Darcy returns to Chicago to assassinate two mob leaders. There she runs into an old family friend, Frankie. While she's doing that, Brutal rescues Technocrat who had recently been kidnapped by the mob, hoping to track down Nemesis. Slayer arrives in the middle of the rescue, during an unrelated attempt to take out a supernatural entity working with the mob. At Technocrat's urging (and payment), Brutal and Slayer join forces before escaping the scene.

Shadow Stalker and his team also arrive to help. The house is getting crowded. Slayer also arrives to help.

Despite the people and power present to protect Hannah, the house is assaulted and she is grabbed by an astral traveller. A message arrives from Khavik, demanding an exchange of Wie and Ron for Hannah. Wie can't make it so Darcy disguises herself as Wie. Ron and Darcy walk into the same church where Celeste died in Ron's arm. The church blows up.

April 2010

Meanwhile, Hannah escapes on her own and makes it back to the safe house. She starts planning to attack places she believes Khavik could be hiding. A mob hit team arrives to assist for reasons known only to them. Three teams are made up. Slayer and the mob, The Russians and Shadowstalkers people. Despite the coordinated assualt and the resurfacing of Ron and Darcy, Khavik escapes.

Cybermancer and Doctor Boggs team up to save a little girl, "Clara" from a dream invading demon.

There's certainly been more but I've focused on the stories I know the best. You may wish to condense them somewhat.

[Holister]

Lets see. Well in March 2010 Kon Thaak's character died in a " diving accident " at the reck of the Orion 12 oil rig.

I sort of figured that was important to mention.

[vika]

Cybermancer, I thought it was Wyoming, not Utah?

[Cybermancer]

You are most likely correct, Vika.
