(You got me, I'm sitting on the other side closest to the door.)
Deugaro blinked at his outburst. "That was... unexpected." He thought. With mild curiosity of what the picture was, Deugaro complied.
"It is considered polite to give your name first before asking another." He said in a patient baritone voice. "As for your other question, I came through that door which is connected to the halls, that is connected to another door that leads outside... That is where I come from."
With no full answer given he relaxed in his chair, the painful ringing in his head fading slightly. (Thank you for the rank up Aniur.)

Squireof the son "Liran. That's okay, just a little warning will be fine." Wow. Haven't had that magic used on me for a while. He pushed open the doors, and felt a gust of wind blow past him. "Too many people. Can't trace the pulse. "Liran murmured. The girl from the gate caught his eye. Kind of defiant now aren't we? He walked up to the table and stood behind an empty chair. Can't use magic, I want to see how good she is. He looked around at all the people there. Then looked for Raoden. First of all, glad to have you back boy. D: I was worried. No need to be worried now though. :3 So lets do this. Just so you know, an interaction note. You couldn't feel the magic I sent out, it was based in the subconscious. All you know is that you have this itchy feeling that will only go away if you find the dining hall. It will be as if you thought of it yourself.
Its a good post, a little short. There really isn't any grammar problems. So I don't need to comment that. :3 Just next time push yourself a little to get a bit more out of it, you're in the room, who do you see before you? Double check the posts to see whos there. You just focused in on me, but why didn't anyone else grab your eye?

Vanyel had gone over to the room the other had gone into earlier. "Excuse me," he said hoping not to intrude on the man's privacy, "but I have a question about one of the gods here. The elder stood and walked over to Van and gestured for him to follow. Van was doubtful, but he assumed the other man had been watching him and somehow knew what he was going to ask about. Then he realized he was being led away from the strange and terrible figure. They reached the opposite side and the old man said, "I'm willing to bet you were drawn to this one, am I correct?" he sighed another deep, tired-of-the-world sighs he seemed so apt to do, "It feels like everyone is drawn to him. Many of these others have been neglected because of him. It's very sad." Van was stunned, this god was amazing, but he lacked something that the dark figure had. He seemed be lacking a purpose. "Actually no, not him. I meant the one at the other side, the dark one on the pool of water." For a moment the other man seemed to be shocked, "Are you sure you are interested in him? No one ever has gone to him." He pulled a scroll out of his robes and handed it to Van, "If you wish to learn about him, look for these texts, they will help you. I wish you luck Child of the Dark One." he walked back to his room leaving Van standing before the golden god in stunned silence, "Child? Of the Dark Lord?" he puzzled for a moment of the meaning of the old man's word. He walked out of the Chapel looking for someone who could help him get the texts on the list. Out of nowhere it seemed, Van had an urge to go to the dining hall. He looked at the sun and did some quick mental math. A sudden thought struck him like a blow, "Oh my! I'm late! She'll rip me to pieces!" Vanyel ran off at top speed towards the hall. As he entered he realized that it was almost full. He found and got into the nearest empty seat and hoped no one had noticed his entrance. He put the text under his seat and waited for his meal.
((I'm glad you enjoyed my last post. It's interesting because usually my posts degrade if I'm even a little tired. I've been working on a couple other RPs and it's been helping me improve faster because I'm using what you told me so often.))

Aeros Endeem Aurak continues to look at the picture. He sniffs a couple times from his crying. The tears let up a bit, though one can see the stains they left behind. Sensing that someone else was in the room, he looks up and around until he finds a Middle aged man sitting in a seat. (Where did you sit? On the same side as Aurak, or across the table? XD) Aurak became startled by his appearance. "GAHH! Drack!" With his right hand, he hid the picture behind his back, panting from becoming startled. Pointing to the man with his left hand, he asked "Who are you and where did you come from?" What can I say, very cute. Nothing really tugs at my heart strings like a big, blubbering dragon type thing. The way you described her though, she was pretty. I don't blame you. XD A few little picky notes. The "Middle" in the phrase "middle aged man" is a descriptive feature and doesn't need to be capitalized. Um, lets see. You're doing so well I have to really pick this thing apart to find the problems.Quote: Aurak became startled by his appearance. Little problem here. Everything else you've been doing is in the moment. I would like you to continue with that because you just write so well like that. Some people are better with past tense, some with present and some can mix the two. You defiantly flow much better in the present. So basically 'became' should have been 'becomes'. On the same strand, 'hid' should have been hides and 'asked' should have been 'asks'. Otherwise, quite good. You're doing leaps and bounds better and its really showing. X3

Omirao "Liran." Raoden mumbled, then slouched into the hall directly behind Liran, hoping dearly that no one was paying too much attention to the door and, if they did notice them enter, that Liran would attract all the attention. He stood behind the empty chair next to the one Liran had chosen and did his best to become a part of the background to anyone looking. He succeded fairly well considering that he had no magical abilities that could create that effect. :3 So it is my first student who started all this comes back for another posting. Been waiting for this, lets see if you've gotten a bit better from those other rps you've been taking part in.Quote: Raoden mumbled, then slouched into the hall directly behind Liran, hoping dearly that no one was paying too much attention to the door and, if they did notice them enter, that Liran would attract all the attention. Oh girl, holy run on sentences Batman! I see at least two sentences in there. Good use of the word slouched though. definition Slouch 2. to move or walk with loosely drooping body and careless gait. Clever, you almost got me there. I had to look it up because that is not a normal use of the word. Very clever though. :3 Getting so good at this you got the upper hand on your tutor there. Lets see. Its not so much you made a huge mistake in linking all that into one sentence, its more that its a lot to swallow in one chunk. If you get my drift. So lets:Quote: Raoden mumbled, then slouched into the hall directly behind Liran. He hoped dearly that no one was paying too much attention to the door and if they did notice them enter, that Liran would attract all the attention. Not a huge change, it was already well written. Of course that makes an issue with the next sentence, but I know that you know that it could have been started like this:Quote: Standing behind the empty chair next to the one Liran had chosen, he did his best to become a part of the background to anyone looking. Otherwise, this was quite good as well. You did a good bit of character work right there and while I felt the post was a bit short, I don't see much more you could have done with it due to how your character is interacting with those around him. Good. :3 I'm happy with how you've been developing your character in the last few consecutive posts.

Deugaro (You got me, I'm sitting on the other side closest to the door.) Deugaro blinked at his outburst. "That was... unexpected." He thought. With mild curiosity of what the picture was, Deugaro complied. "It is considered polite to give your name first before asking another." He replied in a slow baritone voice. "As for your other question, I came through that door which is connected to the halls, that is connected to another door that leads outside... That is where I come from." With no full answer given he relaxed in his chair, the painful ringing in his head fading slightly. (Thank you for the rank up Aniur.) Aurak realizes what the man said was true. You have to introduce yourself first! Idiot! He looks around to notice that about three more people had entered while he was off in memory lane. Though he didnt get a good look at them, he can tell that one was a female and the other two were males. Looking back at the man, Aurak bows to him. "The names Aurak, Aurak Endeem." Stands back up. "Sorry about the outburst earlier, you just startled me that was all."

He said in a patient baritone voice. Just a little issue here, it has to do with how quotations are done. They are tricky things and I've seen a lot of trouble with them in this thread. It seems to be one of the few problems you have left in your writing, so we're going to try and tackle it.Quote: "It is considered polite to give your name first before asking another.", he said in a patient baritone voice. Also, a question of intent here.Quote: With no full answer given he relaxed in his chair, the painful ringing in his head fading slightly. I understand what you were getting at, or at least I believe I do. It could have been worded better. Perhaps instead of "With no full answer given...", something such as "With parts left out that he would rather have unknown..." or "Trouble in the guise of probing questions side skirted..." or even "With the attention diverted from himself..."
Thats about it. Short and sweet. Good job.

"My full name is Deugrashimbatekete... you can call me Deugaro.", He nodded his head once in his direction as a gesture of respect. As he was about to say more, there was a sudden flash of white before his eyes and the next thing he knew he was lying on the ground, his jaw agape.
"Has the pain risen so far already?", He pondered from his uncomfortable position on the ground. "I absolutely must get the brew going or else this abbey is going to fall down on their heads!"
He forced himself to his feet, his body protesting movement and worked his way towards where the kitchen was, using the chairs as a crutch. Sweat beaded on his brow from the pain before dripping into his line of sight, still he struggled forwards valiantly attempting to halt the corrosive process of his dark ability Dakoon.
(Just a little help to everyone on pronounciation Deu-gra-shim-ba-te-ke-te)

D: I'll spare you the messy details. I am glad to hear though that you've seen improvement in yourself. I understand how hard that can be, but also how good it feels. :3 Well, lets get going:Quote: Vanyel had gone over to the room ... Just a sticky little note. You use "gone" twice which makes your sentence feel redundant. It's not grammatically incorrect, it just sounds bad. Something more appropriate would have been:Quote: Vanyel went back to the room... Simple and sweet. The rest of the post is rather brilliant. I mean, not only the way you've manipulated the npc, but the artful way in which you interacted with my little prompt. The thread of magic. I've really been looking forward to each one of your posts and the same can be said for the next. :3

Van soon got impatient, so he decided to see the others that were gathered in the hall. Many were chatting, but two in particular caught his eye. One had collapsed as Van had entered he hall, making it possible for him to go unnoticed long enough to reach an empty chair. He was getting up and didn't look hurt though. He wondered what had happened to the other to cause such a random fall. Van continued to look around and then saw her, the one that had opened the gate for him earlier. Even though no one had said anything, he had a feeling that she knew exactly who was absent from the hall even in this chaotic mess. He had an uncomfortable feeling that she knew who was late and by how much they were late. Van shivered and decided to busy himself with other things. He pulled out the scroll and scanned the titles, "The power of Dark Magic", "History's Greatest Necromancers", "Contacting the Death Gods and Goddesses", this list went on and on. "Well that's creepy." Van muttered. He decided that looking round the hall was much preferable to looking over the scroll the mysterious old man had given him.
((I hope you're feeling better!))

Aeros Endeem Aurak realizes what the man said was true. You have to introduce yourself first! Idiot! He looks around to notice that about three more people had entered while he was off in memory lane. Though he didnt get a good look at them, he can tell that one was a female and the other two were males. Looking back at the man, Aurak bows to him. "The names Aurak, Aurak Endeem." Stands back up. "Sorry about the outburst earlier, you just startled me that was all." :3 Good day to you sir. Lets see what we have here. ( Have you guys noticed I'm taking a long time to grade? It's because I don't want to get too ahead without Squire around. )Quote: He looks around to notice that about three more people had entered while he was off in memory lane I really like this sentence. There are a few problems with it though. The phrase "to notice" is the infinite form of noticing meaning that it can't be assigned as an action. You have to conjugate it to another form. In this case you should have used:Quote: He looks around and notices that about three more people had entered while he was off taking a jog down memory lane. You know, I really liked that memory lane bit, but I kinda tinkered with it to give it a bit more flare. The kind of thing I believe your character would think. :3 Not much else to change, but getting much better. In the sentence "Though he didn't..." should be "Though he doesn't...". Same old same old. Didn't is past tense, doesn't is present. :3 Looking for the present tense here. If you're not sure as to which form of a word you should be using, check a thesaurus. Last note, tack a "He" on to the front of that "Stands back up." It just completes the sentence.
:3 Good job. Fewer and fewer mistakes every time. Solid posts. Very good work.

(oh, sorry. A paladin is kind of hard to miss. Especially if you come from an abbey. And it doesn’t help if she’s attractive. I’ll check with you about any magic used before I make note. I keep up, my posts don't keep up. I can get on about one day a week. Sorry.)
A dragon-like thing caught Liran’s eye. He was slowly working his way to the kitchen. He ran up to him and wrapped the guy’s arm around him. “Careful. You okay?” He reached his sleeve around and wiped of his sweat from his head. Liran started to notice a dark vibe emitting from the guy. “Dark magic?” He murmured. He looked around, and see if anyone else notice the vibe. He looked over at the lady from the gate to see what her response was to the struggling dragon and to see if she noticed any magic.

Raoden spent time observing everyone in the dining hall, trying to discern what their abilities, srengths, and weaknesses could be. He wasn't getting much. Everybody was so different... There was even one who looked to be of a different race than he'd ever even HEARD of! He cleared his mind of the confusion he felt and began observing the room, searching for any exits or hiding places, should things go badly for him. Still he did his best to avoid notice. He felt like he was succeeding in that aspect, for no one seemed to be paying too much attention to him...

Mira headed straight to the closest chair she could find, plopping down onto the seat with a relieved sigh. All the other people in the hall had already gone back to what they were doing before: interacting with their neighbors, staring blankly at the walls, or just sitting there. Placing her pack by her feet, she scooted closer to the table itself, curiously looking around the room.
As expected, it was huge. The ceiling arched high over the room, the lights not even able to fully illuminate the rest of the ceiling. The walls themselves were decorated like the halls. Hanging scrolls and paintings with beautiful landscapes and portraits of gods. There were a few bookshelves set in the corner and she wondered why there would be bookshelves in the dining room of all places.
They must really like to learn here. Either that or they're there for entertaining people when there's a long wait for the stragglers, Mira thought, amused when she saw a person getting up to look at the bookcase.
Folding her arms across the table in front of her, Mira glanced around the room, noting the positions of the people in the room.
(I don't actually know what I'm typing up there and I hope i got all the facts right....Oh yeah, and should I wait for my post to be evaluated before I post again?)
