Topic: Legends of the Red Dragon Inn Subject: Legends of the Red Dragon Inn
I've been mulling over this idea for a while, and have decided to go ahead with it. This thread is dedicated to various legends of the Red Dragon Inn. In it, we will recall truly special characters (and the players who brought them to life), what made them special, and so forth. I will personally come back periodically and add legends, myself. I suppose that others can do the same!
In the interest of organization, I plan to reserve this parent thread for mentions of the most recently added legends, and I will link them from here (each in their own message board thread).
Without further adieu, let's get to the legends!
Runyacath, a sylvari Bladesinger, played by Vanadia

Topic: Hidden Corruption Q&A Subject: opinion poll
Woudl you folks like for me to make posts publicly about what Kithran is encountering? Or just handle that via PM with her?
I'm thinking the former, just for the purpose of sharing the entire story...

Topic: Hidden Corruption Q&A Subject: Whoa
I have to hand it to you, here. The level of RP you are talking about is incredible. For Aranwen to go from disciplined Bladesinger to brainwashed cultist and would-be mother of abominations.... just, whoa.
I get how that could happen, of course. Like you said, her mind would be broken.
But still, it takes some kind of special player to even admit that kind of thing could be a possibility.
Course, I have to point out... if you go back another silver screen moment, you see that syls don't fare well in that role. That doesn't mean that the cult might not try...

Topic: Hidden Corruption Q&A Subject:
So, let's see.
Gib and Cedric are humans, and can absolutely be raised as ghouls. Cool.
Midge is a cidal. I see no reason that he can't be a smaller ghoul. Though they might just kill him.
Ch'dau... hrm. No special protection for the species, so he could presumably be ghoulified. That's a scary thought!
Aranwen is protected by her species, no becoming a ghoul for her; she'd have to be ghoul chow. Or maybe a ghoul concubine. Or concubine, then chow.

Goading? Who's goading?
I'm over here running a story about heroes and saving the world. Cheese.
Hmm. It occurs to me that had the party died in the woods, the world would actually be safer than it is now.

Lol... I'd say I was sorry, Breebles, but there's no sense in lying.
Onward? I mean, you can always turn around and go home. Kith had a good run, right?

No signs of trap doors, hidden doors, etc. Course, the point of a hidden door IS to be hidden, after all.
Anybody in the group good at finding these?

It is... deathly silent.
Just to point out the obvious - the corridor is far too narrow for someone to have drug both of them from the middle of the group down either direction of the hall without being detected doing so. Nor would enough time have lapsed for them to get out of sight.

Topic: The Corruption Hidden Beneath the Surface... Subject: horror takes form...
The the utter darkness, the attack of the giggling obcenities against both flanks threatens to instill unthinking teror into even the stoutest of hearts. If not for years of training and experience, the warriors might not have been able to stand firm.
“If there is anything you might do to dispel this accursed darkness, little one, now is the time!” Ch'dau roars to Midge. The little mage shakes his head, not than anyone can see that fact. "I have no spells of light, no way to break the spells of others!" he nigh wails. At the giggling of the third ghoul - and Davena's scream - the cid begin a chant of his own.
Aranwen slashes out, high, though she does not connect... the invisible ghoul steps inside of her guard and sinks fangs into her forearm. The Bladesinger can feel the grip of the grave reach into her bones, but she is able to resist the cold evil.
At the rear, the second creature leaps in, thinking to flank Ch'dau, only to run into Gib's shield. The warrior priest holds firm, giving the Kazari the opening he needs to drive a falcatta deep into its rotting guts.
Midge may lack a way to counteract darkness, but Cedric knows that the Radiant Father has given him just such a blessing. Gripping the shining disk of Solanis, the priest entreats the god of light and life to bestow light upon the party, and the deity immediately responds, melting the darkness away.
In an instant, the crippling darkness is gone. The corridor is hardly well lit; the divine influence of each priest has merely cancelled the other out. But the greenish glow is visible once more, as is the warmer torchlight.
One would think that, in such a desperate struggle for survival against the living dead, the ability to once again see would bring a measure of comfort those who oppose them.
In this case, it does no such thing.
Oh, the light does reveal the giggling creatures well enough, allowing Aranwen to take advantage and cleave the lead ghoul nearly in half. But not everything revealed is so comforting...
"DAVENAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Garn screams in anguish. A glance at the big warrior's position reveals that the blonde women is... gone. There is no trace of her in the hall whatsoever.
Gib stabs the rear ghoul, and while it is so pinnned, Ch'dau finishes it off with a vicious strike.
The incapacitated ghoul lying at Aranwen's feet somehow manages to choke out another giggle, its mouth wide in an expression of hilarity as it stares towards the middle of the group.
In the moment, it becoes obvious that Kithran is also missing.

Continuing to work on fencing attackers out. Also just set up some limits to help stop an attacker from running a denial of service as easily.

I used an arcane tool called "Facebook Messenger", saw the green light by his name, and hit him up.
He's still in Germany. Says he may can post withint he next few hours/day, but I told him no big. Enjoy the trip, no big decisions to be made right now, anyway. I can always NPC.
