Hey! An'Jantar's going to the councillor, completely ignoring my character who's slumped over unconsious?

I kid, I kid. The councillor DID, err, die. ^^'

Subject: Patience.


Well, how about we wait for another two or three days? I have suddenly quite a few things to do, especially finding that I'll be absent from the Internet for a week coming up, and I'm hoping for at least 3 players for a game like this.

Topic: The Scarred Continents
Subject: Explanations.


The human's eyes lit up at Jenra's acceptance, relief practically emanating from him.

"Ah, indeed I am glad you asked," Tryean said. He certainly LOOKED glad; Jenra suspected he was one that would always be happy if he was talking about some scholarly pursuit or piece of history,"To begin, it is commonly established belief among historians that Rog has more or less been held at the mercy of the Shadar-Kai there, whom under the Raven Queen's authority have been keeping the entire continent in the grips of plague. However, I have spoken to two people who repute that. One is a Shadar-Kai priest herself, who assures me that they stopped the so-called 'cleansing' decades ago, and another is the most trustworthy being in the realm-an Angel, who has told me that the Raven Queen has far larger issues than keeping Rog almost devoid of life."

The human shrugged.

"Of course, old fears and legends weigh heavily on the minds of many. This is primarily diplomatic...though I use the term loosely. History of the continent brings me to believe that if we find living races there, our most likely welcome will be an arrow to the eye. Rog has always been an incredibly warlike continent, a whole land gripped in an undending, chaotic mindless battle that is almost impossible to comprehend...but that was hundreds of years ago, before the plague. Who knows what may have changed?" Tryean looked at the eladrin with respect at the final question, having to look up slightly to meet her eyes.

"And so you come to the most important question of all, who will benefit? I am a man of my word and my God, Sra-Amun the Protector, and I assure you that this expedition has only peaceful intents. Perhaps we may be able to give aid to the stricken continent? Certainly, though I understand many nations are not nearly so charitable, even small pieces of land may be traded to the benefit of both sides. But in many ways, I would hope that alleviating this burning curiousity of the land is reward enough, as long as we do no damage to the people there.

Mind you, I certainly know that some of our crew consider this little more than a treasure hunt. Some are in for the payment, some are in to prove something. One in particular is with us repaying a favour. Some are in for the curiousity and love of knowledge and adventure, of course. Isn't it exciting, not knowing what we could find?"

As Tryean finished his explanation, his expression changed into a somewhat sheepish grin, briefly turning his head from looking at the Eladrin.

"Forgive me, I am not overly accustomed to seeing the beauty of the Eladrin so close," he excused himself, before looking back at her, "Would you like me to show you our ship now, or later? You've come in at the last moment; we leave tonight, so I hope you don't have any outstanding business."

Well, I'm certainly interested. You'll have to give me a bit of time to look over all of the lore, though. Just know you've got a player from me, though I need to make a character, of course.

Subject: Take that, plotline!


HaHA for defeating the GM's planned plotline! (Not the first time I've done THAT in a game, eh clockwork?)

Much be Varis' natural luck. Brilliant. ^_^

But anyway, we might want to give our new player a bit of a chance to act...she hasn't seemed to be on in such time. In fact, she's playing in my own adventure, which has been waiting for her post for a few days. She must be busy in real life, or computer broke, possibly.

P.S. I'm not sure whether Varis almost killing himself will GET him experience...or LOSE him it. -_-' Good to know a PROPER mage is finishing the healing though.

Varis isn't dead or anything, mind you. Err...I don't *think* he is. ^^'

Subject: You made Varis sad. :(


"NO!" Varis yelled, as if it would make some difference, have made him faster to react, faster to stop what happened. Dropping his sword, he ran to the collapsed An'Inglefar, ignoring the now-fallen figure without looking at the face, too busy frantically bringing the healing potion from his belt, pouring it into the councillor's mouth.

"Come on, COME ON!" Varis yelled, the liquid dribbling out, the councillor's body making no response, his eyes still open but lifeless.

"Come on...Lords curse it, I'm NOT going back to Ulrick to tell him his friend died right next to me! Wake. Up!" Varis said, thumping the chest of the dead councillor in futile, some detached part of his mind realizing the blood from the wound was not spreading over the body much. There was no bloodflow.

"I am NOT!" Varis yelled, his mind suddenly shifting his perceptions, suddenly not looking at the dead face beneath him, but to Varis' own self. His powers. Varis drew magic from every bone and muscle of his self, shaping it all, forcing it all into the councillor's heart, trying to heal it against natural laws, trying to start the entire body again.

Varis realized, in some corner of his mind, that this was too much, he was channelling energy his body just couldn't provide. He felt the wear of weeks without sleep, miles of running and days without food or water.

[I *will* do this. I *will*.] Varis stubbornly fed still more magic in-

-before collapsing.

Topic: Footprints: Part One, Chapter Five
Subject: Getting ready to guard.


Glancing back to see the boulder, the fireball, and the roof collapse, Varis winced at the destruction, dread forming in his stomach as he hoped his comrades were still alive and fighting. Determinedly continuing to hum, Varis felt a measure of certainty in DHarem's abilities as cool, rationality sustained him again as he finally made his way through the crowd, coming face to face with the magic-casting councillor.

Seeing the councillor and foreigner both turn to face him, Varis kept his sword lowered and his other arm raised.

"I'm hired to keep you alive, sirs." Varis explained rapidly, praying to the Gods he wasn't about to be roasted in a fire spell.

Topic: Footprints: Digging Too Deep Recruitment CLOSED
Subject: Mention from me..


Nah, I won't play in this. Partially so I don't overextend what I can and can't do, and also so possible crossovers are a bit more interesting.

But however, I did the same thing in a real-life D&D with another DM for the parallel adventure (Clockwork Demise). The problems were getting the adventures to sync up, though, how long one was taking in comparison to the others. Especially since we also were working with a calender to some extents.

Hell, that world we played in I'm using for the online game I'm DMing on this site, except centuries in the future. ^^'


However...anyone reading this, I hugely recommend it. Darren is a reliable and good GM...and the 'Footprints' system is excellent.

Topic: Footprints: Part One, Chapter Five
Subject: Varis to the resc-oh wait. Bodyguard duty it is.


[Mage!?] Varis drew his sword at hearing the warning, feeling an instant of guilt as he clearly recognized many of the crowd around him shy away from him at the action. Searching around, the babble of the suddenly antagonized crowd drowned out many of the shouts Varis swore were of his companions throughout the square.

Perversely, all he could hear was the banter going on between Karrain and the previous duelers after Karrain coincedentally leapt so near him in his magically-fueled jump.

"Varis, Mage .....ting left.....Dharem!"
"DHarem! ... building, to your right, ......!"

Varis made as much sense as possible of the garbled shouts, blocking out the newly formed comments by the Councillor and Foreigner. He remembered Dharem's positioning and span in time to see the dust and the sudden appearance-seemingly from nowhere-of the robed caster.

Varis made a quick decision, running through a gap he spied in the crowd to get as close to the councillor as possible, determined that no stray spell or arrow breaks his promise to Ulrick. As he pushed his way through, keeping his sword lowered to avoid undue panic or injuries, Varis hummed a tune under his breath, reciting without words a complex ballad he knew. It kept his mind cool and working, anchoring him and protecting him from the chaos that was starting to form and the adrenaline that threatened to overwhelm him.

Topic: The Scarred Continents
Subject: A Scholar's Offer...


Lifting her hand to his face, the scholar gracefully brushed his lips across the profferred hand of the Eladrin, delicately releasing her hand afterwards. His eyes glinted with good humor, and appeared to be in his prime years, between 2 and 3 decades of age, as Jenra thought of age in.

"Jenra. A lovely name. I fear you think me a con artist of sorts, but I assure you that is not the case. Perhaps I had better explain, as I'm sure you did not just see me at my best..." Tryean spoke, once again his accent weighing his words slightly, at least to Jenra's ears. He gave her a smile, one as if holding some kind of sadness behind it.

"I am writing a book, you see, or at least a collection of notes. I seek to detail the Common Realm as best as possible, with it's histories and cultures, or at least within the Scarred Continents. I am unsure as you would have heard the area referred to as such, but it is a fitting title to the lands in this part of the realm. Indeed, that is why I am at Silvour, but my time here is over.

Silvour is a mapped nation, and one assured of it's history. The Western Continent still seeks unity and trade within itself, but cartographers have been attempting to map it for decades.

But there are other continents. To the far, far south...perhaps you have heard of Rog? It is a land cut off for hundreds of years, scoured by plague and war. An apparently barbaric land of orcs, ogres, gnolls, goblins... But I have it on good authority that the land is far safer than it seems. Few are willing to join this possibly perilous expedition, but...I have come across funding regardless.

I have found a crew for a ship, and a variety of mercenaries and other hired aid. I seek to travel there to find and see for my own eyes what has become of such a land. This is not for treasure or riches, but knowledge. What if we could make allies with tribes there? The possibilities of a whole new continent...why not expand our horizons?

That said, this expedition will stop at many places along the way to the continent, the entire journey will take well over a year to reach there, and who knows how long we'll be there for, but at our stops along the way I hope to fill more spaces on the ship. But we lack a wizard of any arcane war magic, something essential in the case of pirates along with many other threats. Many talents of an arcane wizard would be useful-my own Bardic talents are limited at best, and the only other mage we have is a Psion. A mighty one at that, but one with poor control of his own abilities.

If you're interested...I can promise you will be fed for the duration of the expedition you will always have a place to sleep. Your pay will be a total of one platinum once the ship leaves the dock, and another three once we reach Rog. With bonuses for unexpected occurences..." The scholar trailed off, sounding as if this was far from the first time he had spoken the entire deal, as he looked at you inquisitively-looking like he expected return questions rather than an answer.

Jenra had to stop herself from reacting visibly in surprise... Four platinum was what a travelling merchant would earn in a *decade* in Silvour, and that was a dangerous enough job as it was considering bandit attacks. Four platinum would be enough to buy a farm and livestock, or else a house and start a family business, in human terms. The name "Rog" was unfamiliar to her, though...Actually, she didn't know much of the Western Continent, either.

It has begun! Both a Q&A and Game threads have been made, putting the total amount of threads related to this game up to 4.

On the linked recruitment thread, "Aftermath: The Scarred Continents", lore will be placed and updated on occasion...

In fact, if your characters hear certain phrases in a conversation, or otherwise find out certain information, the lore page may update (much like in a few BioWare games) and you may even get an experience bonus.

Then there's this page, where new players should first speak at.

There's the game page (self explanatory)...

And finally, the Q&A page. Anything that's out of character and related to the game, put it there. Questions, ideas... Also, taking the idea from the user "Darren", the GM of a game I'm playing in, the Q&A section will also be host to the Character Sheets of the players (my own copy). I will put up everything from powers, to equipment, to coins, to backstory, to skills...and their experience, and where they have gotten their experience from.

Topic: The Scarred Continents
Subject: Oé-Lek. A city on the Southwestern Coast of Silvour...


Salt-lined, lazy wind breezed through the port-lit by the dawn sun-causing signs advertising a range of shops and taverns to swing and creak. The harbor district of Oé-Lek was not a pretty place, but at such a time of day one may be tricked into a sense of contentment, but one doomed to be lost once you looked down and found your belt-pouch missing.

Not that many thieves would dare steal from a wizard. An eladrin wizard, no less. Perhaps that is why she strolls so comfortably and inquisitively throughout the near-empty streets, seemingly unfeeling of the chilled air her dress and cloak could not possibly protect her against sufficiently. Eladrin. Once you've seen a cold day in the Feywild, there's not much the Common Realm can throw at you. Or maybe it's about being a wizard...certainly it's no secret, what with the inscribed staff, the lack of any visible weapon and the unusually large assortment of tools and components kept in an equally great assortment of compartments.

The wizard, Jenra by name, never failed to be surprised at the smell of the ocean, though, but had come to terms with it being just one thing she must get used to; In the Feywild, the waters smelled sweet, not salty. As the eladrin wandered, seemingly aimlessly throughout the area-a strange pastime for an eladrin-she absently took to mind the various streets and landmarks. "Platinum Dirt road", was the name of the street she walked now, and the signs and constant background noise from behind closed doors described most of the buildings on this row as being taverns, in some manner of speaking or another..

Charming.

*SLAM*

Jenra did not turn instantly, recognizing the sound correctly as nothing more than a wooden door hitting the wall it's hinged on as if pushed open with too much force.

"Well I'm sorry that you think that, had I known-" The voice, a human voice of a surprisingly elequent accent certainly not borne from Silvour, was cut off almost immediately as he was practically harried out of the "Two Silvers" Inn.

"-that I had a wife and children, and as such was rather attached to my life? Go find some other madman to take you up on your offer. I'm a mercenary, not a fool." That voice was more clearly from someone around this country, the accent of one whom grew up in Lek. Another human.

*SLAM* The door slammed shut again, and Jenra turned to look with interest at the well-spoken foreigner. Having not recognized the only other person on the street, the foreigner appeared to be grimacing, praying to himself as he looked at the Tavern in...

[[Information Gained from: Passive Insight]]

Regret? Regret or worry, Jenra decided, taking a better look at him.

His clothes were of a fine make, and unhindered by armour-a strange show of confidence in such an area. A pale blue overcoat of some tough material, over more fragile silver tinted silk, and dyed red leggings. A single, sheathed heavy-rapier, almost a short sword, was attached to his belt, but no other weapon of self defense was seen.

[[Information Gained from: Passive Arcana]]

Not that he needed any other weapons. Jenra could detect the traces of Arcane Magic around the man, as though through a sixth sense. They weren't powerful, so she doubted he was an actual wizard or sorceror, but perhaps something more...subtle, a dabbler in magic. Perhaps some kind of scholar? A swordmage? A bard?

"Avandra pity my misfortune in this land, and grant me greater luck in my future travels..." The man prayed quietely, but easily audibly, before turning to look at Jenra, finally. It wasn't hard to see how she gained his attention, Eladrin tend to generate interest, even so close to the City of Moonstair-so known for it's portals into the Feywild.

Something...strange came over his eyes as they widened. An emotion you can't tell at a glance. Suddenly he smiled the geniune smile of a man of goodwill, and approached the eladrin before bowing, holding out a hand much like one would to a noblewoman, with the expectation of taking and kissing the woman's fingers delicately.

"Forgive my forwardness. I am Tryaen Creek, scholar of Arvale. I did not expect to see an Eladrin on the coast. May I presume you to be a wizard? I find myself in dire need of someone of magical prowess..."




[[GM'S NOTES: Okay, and now it's time for gamergirld20 to take the lead. I won't make notes like these in the future, that's what the Q&A thread is for. However, I would like to point out now that the "Information gained from:" sections for passive skill checks are normally not going to be mentioned. I have only put them in as examples for what checks will show, and normally I would write them as Private Messages to the group members who noted them (who are, of course, not allowed to share this information amongst themselves unless publicly on the thread as character speech).

Also, you may want to see the "lore" thread, found in the recruitment section (or linked to the Parent Thread of this), if you want to know of "Arvale" or even learn a bit about this...Tryaen Creek. Not that your characters are likely to know of him specifically, unless they were interested in studies of the Common Realm.]]

Feel free to make a character. Anything you wish, within limits, obviously. However, I would prefer it if you did not have them originate in Silvour at this time (if you'd like, feel free to PM me for more info if you want a special backstory to allow you to be a sorceror/wizard/fey race inside the Western Continent).

Remember, you have a lot of leeway if you originate in the Western Continent, due to it's size. The limitations I placed on class/race/deity really only apply in the northern parts of the continent...the sections I have long played and worked out in detail.

Anyway, I'll make the first post of the game and create the thread within a few hours...Gamergirld20 will be taking the stage for a time, so good luck to her!

Better to start now than keep the other players waiting for longer.

Topic: Aftermath: The Scarred Continents (LORE ARCHIVE)
Subject: A letter, concerning William "Will" Fortune, a Psion.


(NOTE: This excerpt, unlike the others, is unlikely to be particularly relevant in any way, shape or form for a long time, if ever. However, it does mention a name that will pop up again, soon. Also, please note in advance this is not written by Creek)


"Dear Sheahnie and Jill,

I hope this letter reaches you safely. It is sent by a messenger I trust explicitly, and I suspect he will have ridden for months, searching, before finding you, so be nice to him, alright? He's perfectly capable in combat, and you may consider that a recommendation if you needed any backup. Short of active suicide missions, he's eager to help, I'm sure.

I wish those magical defenses you have weren't necessary, though I know they are, then I could Send to you and make sure you and Jill are alright. I guess I shouldn't have to worry, though, all things considered, but you're treading in dangerous territory, even for us.

But I didn't write to mother you both, I'm sure you know how dangerous He can be. I'm writing to you, primarily, about William. You remember him? It's been a few years, I know. Will Fortune, the Tiefling Psion, once a friend of Winter and Z'Rhal'Khai'Rivan. Well, as unofficial Spymaster of Silverveil, he's been busy. Since we lost Bahamut things have been falling apart, thank Sra-Amun for Emilia though. But Will was essential in keeping order, stopping dangerous charlatan and cult leaders before they arose, not to mention trying to stop the tension that Kar'Me brought with their seperation from breaking into war, even so many years ago.

Well, over the years, especially with Z'Rhal and Winter gone, Will was growing...tense. His wife had spoken to me about it, and he had started telling his wife that work kept him busy and away from home, yet he was absent from his desk all the time. He couldn't always have beeb doing field work, off-the-books or not.

Things got worse. Whenever I tried to speak with him, he argued. To me, his body language was clear, I could see into his mind how deep it was. He's so jealous of me, for my eternal life, while he has always feared nothing more than the Raven Queen's touch. It begun to scare me to look at him, how deeply his feelings ran. Finally, he left without a trace, and never came back. Not even his family knew...poor Trish. I've brought her into the temple with her children, though she's insistent that her children are not covered in the guise of humans through Runic magic. She says that her children are always pure and beautiful regardless of horns or skin colour. And I agree, but even after all of our attempts, there is still a lot of anti-Tiefling feelings in Silverveil and Tamjar.

But it's Will that really worrying me. His need for longer, if not eternal life is...strong. Fortunately, he is no arcane user, nor would he ever follow Asmodeus or Orcus, so necromancy, demons or devils are out of the question. But as Spymaster, he may have been able to track down Aegune's court since the war...if that's the case, he may willingly submit to them to become a Vampire. Please, when you get the chance, track Will down, wherever he's gone, and quickly. Don't let him make that mistake.

Be well, my friends. I shall pray for you.

P.S. Oh yes, Z'Rhal asked me to pass on a message whenever I could, Jill. 'Sorry for stealing your kill and all, but that Forsaken was really starting to piss me off.'"


~A letter from Devoted, High Priest of Silverveil to his friends and veterans of the God Wars, Sheahnie Trueleaf and Ji'Li'Kei "Jill", concerning the whereabouts of William "Will" Fortune, Tiefling Psion.

By the standards of the New Tamjarian Calender, this entry is dated at 29/2/7 AW, or the 29th Day of Ssyssiruss, Year 7 After the War.
