Subject: :D
Yay Zombies!!! (Or not... we'll see how it turns out, I suppose.)
Glad you enjoyed the post, Hammer... Looking forward to seeing what the rest of you write up!
Word of warning, though... It's getting ready to rain down rocks on our opponents (I hope) so I'd advise against a headlong rush at the very moment.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men...
Subject: Good call, Galardil!
By the common sense rationale given by En’Aranthea, Danon, and the others, Galardil’s initial call to arms may have been hasty at the time he had given it but, as it turned out, Kith-Jora’s cleric was likely not far from the mark. As the two groups drew nearer to each other Jarenion murmured a simple incantation and trained his violet eyes on the more distant assemblage… then scowled when the detect magic spell framed each of them with the dark flicker of necromantic taint.
“It would seem, melloneamin, that Galardil had the right of it,” the mage cautioned his own party, “The odious aura of necromancy hangs about the folk ahead. Mind yourselves!”
As the night and the fog seemed to encroach with the same vile physicality of the oncoming group – who, at this point, had yet to give any indication they were even aware of them – Jarenion reconsidered the larger stone in his hand, returned it to his satchel in favor of a handful of smaller pebbles and, for a moment, fell behind En’Aranthea and the rest as he wove eldritch energies once more… The spellworks whirled in his mind, directing his fingers in scribing the proper sigils and his lips to uttering the proper words…
A twig snapped and Jarenion’s eyes lifted to confirm that, yes, the sound had at last drawn the attention of the rotting others. A maniacal tittering issued from amidst the necromantic group and, for some reason, this curled one corner of the mage’s mouth into something of a smile… Some not so rotten as the others it would seem, part of his mind noted as another part completed the spell, Let us focus on you, then!
His arms whirled, one hand casting the mana charged stones skyward and the other thrusting his ironwood staff purposefully in the direction of the gibbering ghoul… “ONDOR ARMEK!” The final words of the incantation boomed from his chest… and he hoped that his compatriots would stay their charge until the spell took effect.
((Okay… Hailstones, please, centered of Mr Fang-face if possible.))

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men - Q&A
Subject: Marching order...
I imagine that Jarenion would prefer the middlish region of any formalized marching line. I don't think he'd care for being relegated to the very rear and being envisioned as a "support spellslinger" and, while he's certainly confident enough that his magic will get him through any situation, he's smart enough to know that having a sword and shield or two between himself and anything ahead isn't a bad thing. So, the middle gives him the opportunity to "play up front" and get all nasty with the mana-mashing while also allowing something of a "fall back and play the fire-support role" when he must.
Current order as posed by Hammer seems okay to me for the moment, regardless. Somewhere towards the rear - at least within chatting distance of Galardil.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men - Q&A
Subject: Speaking of backgrounds....
...here's some info on Jarenion for those of you who might be interested (or need some fodder for postiness... or might just be bored and in desperate need of something to read...) Won't post his entire sheet here as I'm guessing Olan is still in the process of working them up and giving them a polish, but description and background can't hurt.
Jarenion Mithésonel
Physical Description: Being Sylvari, Jarenion stands at a fairly diminutive 5' 5" tall and weighs a rather sleight 105 lbs. Despite his small stature, however, the young Syl cuts an imposing if not intimidating figure owed to his confidence and determination. He wears his long black hair in a loose and, in truth, somewhat unkempt fashion, his eyes (a violet shade common to his blood line), much like the points of his leaf-shaped ears, are seldom seen as they are often hidden by the spill of his hair and the wide brim of the dark leather hat that he rarely removes. He is most often seen wearing a knee-length, charcoal grey coat, blousy black trousers, and soft charcoal grey boots in lieu of the standard robes of a mage. His only visible weapons are a rune-carved staff of dark wood that is seldom far from hand and a small knife that hangs amidst a cluster of pouches from the belt around his waist… what items may be in those pouches or, for that matter, in the dark leather satchel slung from his shoulder are beyond imagining as he guards their contents jealously.
Background: Jarenion Mithesonel is a relatively young Sylvari ( around 118 years or so), hailing from the town of Hith Elee in Alloryen. His father, Taniian, died nobly in service to the Order of the Secret Storm and, as such, his mother, Minluina, encouraged him practically from birth to follow in his father's footsteps to honor Taniian's memory and the "family tradition." Thus, Jarenion's life has been steeped in magic (and very little else) from very early on. His studious nature has made him quite proficient in the wielding of the arcane arts and, more recently, gained him admittance as his father's legacy into the Order of the Secret Storm.
Jarenion also has a younger sister, Calteliel, who, in the not too distant past, left Hith Elee for Megilindar Nost in Maelamin to pursue a life as a Bladesinger. The last Jarenion heard from his sister was that she had reached Tinechur, wasn’t far from Bladesingers Keep, and would contact him again when she reached the Keep and let him know that she had arrived safely and had been accepted among the Bladesingers. Jarenion has yet to receive that communique, though, and has begun to wonder as to his sister’s fate.
Personality: Jarenion might easily be mistaken as being arrogant by those who haven’t taken the time (or had the patience) to get to know him beyond appearances and first impressions. He is rather aloof and supremely confident in his abilities, though, tending to be a bit of an intimidator when it comes to wielding the arcane energies he’s spent his life mastering and, often, prefers to take his spells into combat alongside sword-and-armor fighters rather than simply providing them support from a distance as he has seen many other mages do. Despite his standoffish nature and lack of a ready smile for most of civilization, those who have travelled with and/or befriended the mage know that a warm smile and pleasant conversation can be evoked from Jarenion on occasion… if you can pull his attentions from his spellcraft for that long.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men...
Subject: Yearning for dry clothes and a nice, warm fire...
Jarenion had been weary of this particular road for some time now and, by the time the mist had risen from the earth to meet its cousin the rain, the mage’s humor had turned decidedly sour. His feet were sore, his clothes and hair were sticking to his skin, and, even though the others had assured him more than once that Crandel was not much further along this so-called road, he had begun to believe that the village would ever be out of reach as it seemed they would all soon be claimed by the muck that this little dirt track was becoming. He considered voicing this opinion more than once but, after some thought, came to the conclusion that it would be pointless… The entirety of the party - even Kith-Jora’s cleric, Galardil, who typically adored nature in all of its manifestations – seemed to be feeling the same sense of uneasiness with their current situation.
“Jusarin’s berries,” the mage grumbled, lifting a finger to push a strand of mist and drizzle dampened hair from his eyes with more than a little irritation, “if we don’t come upon Crandel soon, I fear I’ll need to rewrite every spell in my book! This cursed damp has soaked me to the skin and I am almost afraid to open my pack and see what it’s done to…”
It was then, in the midst of his directionless fussing, that Jarenion spied the faceless group trudging toward them further up the road. The weather had been playing tricks with them for long and long, already – causing shapes to appear and then vanish before a keen eye could be set upon them, causing strange sounds to echo from somewhere out in the mist and rain – but this, he thought, was more than just a deception wrought by the elements and it disconcerted him more so than did those meteorological chicaneries. There was something that was just… not right… about the group that was steadily shambling toward him and his companions.
If this encounter delays my finding some dry clothes and a fire by which to read…
“I dislike the look of this very much,” Jarenion said, now, the brim of his hat inclining to indicated the oncoming knot of mist-cloaked figures as his hand dipped into his satchel and found purchase around a sizeable stone secreted there, “Folk in their apparent state would have cozied themselves away somewhere in Crandel given this weather, don’t you think?”
A smattering of spellworks began to uncoil in the mage’s mind even as he posed the question to his cohorts and, as his fingers flexed around the stone that he had since brought forth from his pack, the words for an incantation that would identify any arcane influence ahead began to whisper past his lips…
((OOC: Not much of anything other than a bit to get us going, I suppose… Jarenion will utilize Detect Magic when in appropriate range of the other party to assure himself that they’re not illusory, at least, and to identify any other magical properties/items/whatnot amongst them that may be of concern.))

First - Welcome, Kyle! Nice to have another meat-shield... *ahem*... fellow adventurer in the fold.
Second - I'm perfectly fine with En'Aranthea being our de facto leader per Olan and Vanadia's rationale on the previous page.
Third - Yay for potions and posts! Put J down for a potion of cure light wounds or some such, good sir, and I'll see what I can do about tacking a post on to the game thread!
Finally - Facelicks all around!!! Cuz I'm slurpy-licious like that!

Subject: Well...
...initial thoughts that come to mind there, Hammer, are:
- Jarenion is from the Northern kingdom...
- the Bladesingers Keep is in the south...
- Jarenion could have been traveling N to S to see about little sister and encountered your character going the other way
...things happen, alliances are formed, yadda yada yada.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men - Q&A
Subject: Indeed!
I added the bit about Jarenion's sister training to be a bladesinger in order to "open up possibilities" where the "how did this group come together" question may arise with the idea that En'Aranthea might have known our mage's sister (or her name at least) and that led to those two, at least, to begin adventuring together... buuuut I also left things ambiguous enough to go other routes, as well. I can work with most anything.

...my router at home got frizzled over the weekend and AT&T isn't being very helpful with helping to set up the one I bought to replace it so I'm limited to my phone and/or sneaking in here from work. Hoping that I get all that resolved today and have my interwebz restored at home before too much longer. Got a helluva character brewing up... aaaand back to the spellbook!
