The Marking; Brave non-Drow Citizens of Sshamath

[pattu]

This short story is in response to me being tired of non-Drow characters mouthing off or threatening Drow within the city without repercussions. Even outside the city, non-Drow characters show no signs of fear when dealing with Drow characters. I just feel this is not valid RP.


The faern of Qu'ellar Baendar, Cal, chose to spend his time browsing a fine selection of daggers as a way of winding down after spending long hours experimenting on the goblins. Several daggers had caught his eye when a large Orc approached him. Cal, focused on the wares, became startled when the Orc yelled to him,
"DO YOU KNOW FLAMETONGUE?"

Almost dropping a dagger he was holding, Cal covered his ear with one hand and placed the blade back down on the table with the other. He turned and stared at the orc briefly before replying,
"Dos are speaking to ussa why?"

The Orc became offended by Cal's response and changed his attitude
"I could crush you instead weakling"

Again stunned by the Orc, Cal shook his head not wanting to make more of the matter. The Orc clearly must be a brave and talented individual.. or incredibly stupid to challenge a Drow Wizard. Cal felt it best not to pursue the matter and dismissed the Orc.
"Please leave. Dos have wasted enough of ussa's time"

The Orc seemed to take the hint and move to the exit, but offered another comment before departing
"Meet me outside the city so I can give you your medicine"

Cal again simply shook his head and now laughed at the Orc's continuing threats. The Orc departed leaving Cal shocked and dumbfounded at the brave behavior.


Cal finished his browsing and left the shop to make his usual stop to purchase additional scrolls. To Cal's surprise the Orc was waiting for him outside of the merchant shop.
"Follow me outside the city weakling"

This Orc truly did not wish to end the conflict. Cal now desperately annoyed tried once again end the issue.
"Ussa am flattered dos would waste his time bothering ussa."

Cal made his way to the Beholder merchant with the Orc on his heels. Cal's new strategy was to simply ignore the Orc. The Orc stood in the middle of the merchant district and continued his taunting and threats.
"Follow me outside the city weakling"
"You are pathetic and a coward. All talk. Be afraid next time you leave the city weakling."
"You have been marked"

Cal simply shook his head, offered no return comment to the Orc, but instead spoke to himself.
"Nau foolish orc. It is dos that has been marked. A lesser race will never escape punishment for insulting and threatening a Drow. Dos actions have been seen and observed by the Charnag Maelthra. The Drow are tired of the lesser races showing no fear. Ussa shall enjoy hearing how dos screamed and squealed when dos are cut into tiny pieces."

/// There are far too many that metagame this scenario. I don't care who you are, what title you have 'achieved', or how good you 'think' you are, Sshamath has over 12,000 drow citizens and 13,500 slaves, if you undertake such behaviour you would be killed, regardless of whether BGTSCC has the infrastructure in place to enforce it or not

[Gruk]

// next time , just print screen and send to DMs, short stories wont get that orc killed , but i have seen someone get perma deathed for lacking respect towards the guards lol

i saw that guy go boom live and gone forever ( char perma death ) , i'm sure Dms would make a move on it if they have the proof. Xas xas , print screen it all next time

[Gruk]

="illithid" whether BGTSCC has the infrastructure in place to enforce it or not

they do , i've seen it before.

((My goal is not to get anyone permakilled. I did not include the character name so no finger pointing. I just want UD RP to be, well.. UD RP. And no metagaming would be nice too.

Thank you. It is good to know there are actual Drow who play in the UD still.

//I am online and something like this happens, contact me.

[TheVoid]

//Just like the campfire there will always be some character and/or player that will try to troll for pvp in the most inappropriate places.

Just like there are dudes that will try to hit on every woman they see at a bar or nightclub, they are desparate to prove something and are most likely anti-social or sociopathetic in tendency which leads them to use extreme circumstances to "invite" themselves onto another person.

Next time post a screen shot because we do consider your screenshots as IG NPC's watching the happenings whether it is a fist, guild guard/sentry, Charnag, etc.... Don't worry about the consequences YOU ARE NOT responsible for their fate, THEY ARE. Permadeath is only one consequence we use to make examples of and/or educate offenders.//

Please continue IC at will....

// Is that why I did that?

Well, it did help me to meet my wife

[TheVoid]

Wow.. way to make your wife sound special Mav...

[Maverick 40]

Wow.. way to make your wife sound special Mav...

Hey, she made a honest man outta me and has kept me on the wagon ever since! Forget that IG "Living Saint" crap, this woman is the real deal

Besides, when we first met, she didn't like me at all. It took weeks and weeks to break her down finally

I guess my point is, there are worse things than Drow that prowl the streets of this world and if your not lucky, your daughters might end up marrying one of them like me

MWHAHAHA....MWAHAHAHA...MWHAAHAHAH...*chokes*....ah, ah...ha...mwha....MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Empoweredfan]

. . . but you are already married. . .

[Servin]

He's still alive? After having cheesed off 5 players and a DM on an event? And having been permakilled for interrupting an event by another DM?

Seriously, you're telling me that all those harassment mails I got were not enough to stop this kind of behaviours from that individual?

Star Wars The Old Republic - Free to Play it is then.

By Lolth! Can this be? He's not spider fodder yet? Having aggravated and displeased 5 of udos glorious race and been lethally struck by a deity during a time of great importance?

This will naut be, dos tlun to tell me that all the insults received, were not enough to have the authorities to act?

Sweet thongs of Eilistrae!

Usstan needs to teleport out of here to a different dimension.

[Eviloth]

Great if Servin is gone, how many left in the UD? Storm you still alive?

//No. I'm sorry for derailing the thread, but being a douchebag does not mean you have antisocial or sociopathic tendencies. It is much more likely they're just insecure about themselves and/or suffering from low self esteem/sense of self worth and feel they have to prove themselves (in thus case prove they're the bigger, badder ass) to have any.

Please don't demonise people.
