Lonthide (Asther)

   Hello, this is Ecrys. So the midterms are over and I'm enjoying the little time I have until another project comes up.
   I was a little bored of playing GG2, so I decided to scribble a little. This is the result. I enjoyed writing it, I hope you (Anyone out there?) will enjoy reading it. It's a short text, for now. More of it will come as the time goes by. Although I can't promise anything. It could be another 'Stories From GhostlyWorks' incident where I don't care enough to continue a story because I simply lose my interest in it.

Lonthide

   Wul'raen 19, 3E340

      This is the journal of the last justiciar alive...
     Sense of time gradually fades away, the longer I spend my time in this wretched place. I believe that today is the nineteenth day of Wintercall, and the fifth week of my imprisonment in this god forsaken land, Lonthide...
      It all started on the night of Luneea fifteenth. An army of undead have assaulted Daegnon, the city that is named after the valiant Prime of Light. The army was under the command of Khor, the great descendant of Hrocnar the Damned himself. It was a grim battle, no, it was a slaughter.
      The morning of that horrid day, Agon and I have arrived at the city gates, after a three days journey, completely exhausted with thirst and fatigue. Scaling the mountains of Khalanod was no easy task for anyone to achieve, as it was not meant to be a gateway, but rather an obstacle, towards the valley of Galandreim.
     I united with a couple of old friends and companions there, such as Aneth, and Trea. But Ecrys, Clydia or Crell was nowhere to be seen, and I knew that Aldren had returned to Ashlands. The city had gone more quiet since the time I left.
    I must admit, despite my occasional unexplainable visions, I was utterly unaware of the danger until the moment it occured. Pure darkness and chaos... I, with my granted gift of elemental unity, endeavoured to steer the battle towards the favor of the city. Yet I didn't know that I must seek, find and secure the one crucial key that would cause imminent danger in the hands of the second lieutenant of the undead forces, Morph. But the time that I finally learned this, it was too late to prevent my demise... and if I fail now, it won't be just my fate that will be sealed due to my own fault.
     As cruel and grotesque it should sound, I'm afraid that the key I mentioned is a human. A little girl around the age of ten. That damned Morph, managed to break the seal between the plane Lonthide and our world. I only caught him and eliminated him right after the dark ritual was made. Soul of the girl was shattered, torn into pieces and spread through realities, condemned to be lost in eternal dream, as the price of breaking the seal, as long as the seal remains broken... The scarlet gateway to Lonthide was in front of me, and there was only one way to seal the gate back again and perhaps, hopefully, save the poor soul from eternal suffering in doing so. I dove into the plane without a moment of hesitation, and there begins my imprisonment in the crimson lands of Lonthide. I wonder what is Agon up to, since the time I had to leave him in such an unannounced fashion.
      This is the story of how I ended up in this eternal prison. I must continue my search after eight hours of sleep... and I should find another source of food and water. A water that doesn't taste like copper, or even blood, although I don't think that there is such a thing as clean water in Lonthide.
      If I ever believed that hell exists, I think Lonthide would be the first thing that comes to my mind. I'll explain why it is so, in detail, at a later time, possibly tomorrow. Goodbye for now, the non-existent reader.

Sincerely
Asther, the Justiciar of Light

My Skyrim RP Character Generator

   This is an example from my Skyrim RP character generator. It's a bit all over the place and not really good by itself, but still, it helped me shape a lot of characters.    The program creates a complete sheet, but you have to copy it into a word file or something.    There is a random name hint for the character, but that's only good for me.    There is a line named 'Class' in the sheet. I fill that spot with whatever my character resem-bles, like a Battlemage or something. You don't have to.    There is a 'Text' assigned to the moral compass, if you want, write e.g. Chaotic Neutral there.     I think that's all... Download it from here if you want it, it's a jar file:    SCG2 Drive Link (Dec 11, 2017)   Edit:   I fixed the download link. Apparently, I didn't make it public, because I'm stupid. I don't use the blog anymore but I noticed that this post has gotten some atten...

GhostlyGame (Aldren) (An Old Playthrough)

   So... This is the first GhostlyGame log that was recorded on a computer. It doesn't have any of the game mechanics displayed, I edited them out like I did for the GG2 logs.    The story is long, and on (mostly) second person narrative, like the old choose your path adventure games. I enjoyed playing this game more than I enjoyed playing its successor, GG2. But it is too complicated to just leave around for a couple of weeks and return later, and it takes too much effort in exchange for a nice bit of story.    I'm posting every single story log in Aldren's logs, so this is going to be a very long post to read. If anyone is willing to read this, don't try to read it all at once, it's just not worth the time. I'm going to read it, and update / fix some grammar / vocabulary issues, when I have the time. This story is at least a year and a half old, and my English is still very flawed.    Enjoy Aldren's original story, from an abrupt start in...

Story / Report Log of QVMZ

    This is the story / combat log of the GhostlyGame 2. Not necessarily an excellent work of art, but rather a glorified report sheet. Still though, you might enjoy it...    Reading the place and character descriptions in the character lot helps with picturing the images, but it isn't necessary.     Story gets much better as you continue. ---    Quaelyn, Vaineras, Marcelle and Zagraine journeyed into the forest of Veklorean after they were done with the ruined temple. They were given the mission by Dunvar Corp., the mercenary company, to capture one of the fortresses in the forest, which was the Great Oak Outpost.    It was after dusk, when they approached near the roots of the great tree, trying hard to not be seen by the eyes of the forest, the lookout of the great oak...    They could see the entrance of the hollow from afar, unguarded by the looks. On the left of it there was the stairwell and also leftwards b...
