Gnome Thief Campaign

Alrighty then im just gonna start with the story, the cinematic ofcourse will change, this is just the full story.

Ahem
the story begins in a really beautiful landscape i really admire it myself a Gnome named appearently Erik (Not Decided) lives in a house next to a monestery (Cathedral) were the priests took him in when he was found half dead wandering the lands.
Erik prove to be quite useful in obtaining harmless relics for the monastery to study at times, so the priests gave him a job and allowed him to live near the monastery.

Oh Btw i copied this straight from a conversation with PaulH so there might be some answers to his questions or something that would happen when talking through msn, and forgive my incorrect spelling or bad grammar.

but one day Erik found among some ruins when exploring an abondand Tower a Gem of some sort and he brought it to the monastery to study.
13 days later and still he hadn´t heard any news from the priests but obviously they were hiding something from him.

and on the fourteenth day there came these bunch of robed people they looked quite sick and the priests offered them shelter but the refused.
the priests had a long conversation with one of them who was apperantly there leader,and then these sick people left without another word

on the fifteenth day Erik awoke and saw those same robed people again at the bridge with the high priests talking again.

and then he heard the high priests call for gaurds but it looked too late the leader had stabbed the high priest with a dagger and then all the robed men changed into there true form. The last the thing erik heard before the battle was from the Robed leader that had shapeshifted into an orc and he cried to his warriors find it the master wants it back.


and then the mission is for erik to capture and escape with the gem.

This is about the first mission and it explains mostly about what this Campaign is all about but i don´t want to give much away but what i can say is that this will be an rpg mix warbands.I will give more away ofcourse to those who want to join


The Gnome has a bad skin so i would need a skinner to fix him, any help would be appreciated for i can´t do this alone i suck at making big citie´s and very often i go blank when trying to create spells that fit characters or trying to make a trigger work,I also would like people who could and knows how to make good icons but i think im dreaming, The gnome has attack animation and he is ready to go hopefully. I just need a small team please.I know i haven´t made myself cleare enough on the story but ofcourse ask any questiones.

To make more things interesting the jouney will include hopefully a goblin underground city using someof thoose fine models that have been made by a lot of people, Through Ships and pirates demons dwarfs and elfes, and a personal story beween characters hopefully followed by attraction dislike or hatred between the playing characters it ain´t onlay about the gnome or the good guy´s for that matter.

Edit:Haven´t thought about the name though, The Campaign Name i mean.
More Screeny´s Green Warlord onlay done with his face might need a more orcy armor look and the horse not so demonic.

Maybe he has to steal to survive. The world we leave in can be a lot tougher then you may think :)

The idea sounds good Quick Burner, I have no further comments on it ^^

Thanks man i love you too. Well i made him a thief because of his father daggers that he inheritated from him, he was a thief and he taught his son the traits because they had no home and it was the onlay way for them to survive, the reason he was wandering around in the mountains is a mystery the onlay think he remembers is that his father is dead, oh and one more thing if i do manage to let this happen i want it to be a whole new world not warcarft necesserily its easier that way.

Is it? I backed up Dark Intentions as well... okay, that was about 2 months ago, but still...

But I do admit, I like the idea, I like it that it has nothing particular where it is based on - which is rare nowadays - and I like it that he is asking in an exact proper way.

EDIT: And even if I don't back up a project and it happens that'll work out fine, then I am willing to fight for it to keep it being supported... as I did my best to keep many projects hosted. Heh, remind me never to start an argument with my superior ^^

Correction, "you" want shortlings. I am not fond on shortlings (with a particular dislike for gnomes and dwarves) at all.

Also, of what jobs were you exactly interested in? I recall you asked for someone to reskin the gnome, but that was pretty much all you've asked, is it not?

well it seems my evil plan is coming together muhahahaha.Aehm anyway i posted this up today so i wasn´t excatly expecting anyone to join so soon but the gnome is onlay one of several other characters that would join altough his story is first and one of the major ones, altough i don´t want to many characters onlay like 4 or 5 that you have to play and then occasionaly you might need to play the evil dude, oh and ahh when i do cinematics i would require someone to fix my spelling :\ .And hopefully i would be able to create a whole background for each individual even evil for them to have better personalities and to understand them.I haven´t actually thought to much of who´s gonna join except for maybe 2 other heroes but i sure as know the whole concept and destination of the journey and the story, but ofcourse the team would also have there opinion and a lot might change as we go along.


There are several units that needs skinning but as for other jobs, There will be a lot of maps to play with and i am no master at terraning citie´s or some area´s like swamps or dungeons prisons but i´ll do my best with peoples help.I also have trouble with triggers a lot especially with the Ai (but i can trigger a lot), for instance i want raiders to patrol a certain area but i don´t want them to patrol that area constantly, and then there´s these minor things that keep bugging me about like names, but ofcourse any other help would be most welcomed.

I edited my post above about other job avilable as for spelling sometimes i can´t spell the word correctly and need to find an alternative way´s to say things but hey what can i do about it im from iceland, but usually that could really be bad.

But as you said yourself im also tired of big and mighty heroes who can slay a whole army. what im looking for is strategy running away from too strong normal units and heroes and finding and alternative way´s to kill them and sneaking around to steal stuff, or a dual between magick with real system not the one the just stand around and cast spells i would want you to act as a you would normally would while the enemy teleports up cliffs were you can´t reach and summon cast spells shields himself, you supposed figure a way out how to defeat a monster.its isn´t made yet and somethings will be dropped if anyone dislikes it because i want to do something new and something people would like.
