Subject: You don't say
Karia pondered that statement. "Maybe we should assume these traps aren't meant for us." The whole scene didn't sit right with karia. Then it donned on her "What if we were supposed to come here and what if we just became the prime suspects for a different crime." Karia had a really uneasy feeling about the whole situation, things were not adding up now why would a simple thief trap his house so well for a small group of naked adventurers.

Subject: Starting a new game.
Hello my fellow innmates, I feel its time I hosted a game here and im looking for a few good men or women.
As for the game itself I have the main idea which is a Horror survivor plot. I promise to have a bunch of interesting creatures of my own design mostly and will probably draw from Folk lore to let people put boot to rear of some of there favorite story creeps. It will be a rules light type of game characters will have Abilities and classes to define them.
The time line im still deciding I just wanted to get a general impression of how many people were interested.

Subject: The proper proposition.
The man looked to Assal and smiled, "Why sir you have seemed to read my mind."
On his way in he moved quickly to catch up with aquascales, and said in a low voice as to keep the conversation private. "Good friend you seem far less cheerful then when we last met, what ales you honorable paladin of bahamut?" he looked for a few moments at the burden kobold "You know I heard a rumor that a building had been broken into in town just tonight, strange thing dont you think?" "But you know I also heard they didnt steal anything and that there was a small coin purse left for the inconvience that more then covered the repairs. It seems there is much honor in that especially if it was for a good cause wouldnt you say." He said with a caring small as he put a reassuring hand on the paladins shoulder, he then walked ahead. While he made his way into the building he softly said "The Dieties sure do work in there own mysterious ways."
M Set at the bar enjoying a cup of fine tea when Assal set down he gave him a stern look. "I was wrong when I told you of Tharex he has an ally Visiting that while worth a substaintal bounty is also highly skilled and highly dangerous." "I dont know if your men and women can handle this challenge and I couldnt send you into a situation like that. My resources tell me he will be there around dusk tomorrow I dont know for what or why or how long."
The Man took a few sips of his tea and then reached to his pocket and pulled out a vial. "I have a few more of these and they will be rather effective if you choose to continue your endeavor." His gaze showing his resolve as he looked Assal straight in the eyes,"I will also be joining you."

Subject: Lending a Helping hand
“I don’t really know any of you well enough to share a room with you,” Moon said frowning and looking at all her Male comrades, “nothing personal but… I think I will find my own place for the night.”
"Well My lady I have a room that I am no longer in need of."
Standing behind the group was a man that most of them had met before the one that set them on the trail of Tharex. He took a low bow to the group putting one arm behind his back and coming up with a small smirk. "I hope you are staying on your feet better these days Sir Assal. It appears i have mislead you about Tharex it seems like he has more back up then anticipated.."
He looked directly in Assals eyes and gave him a look that all experienced warriors know to well. "Might I accompany you then, I feel my assistance may come in handy in a tight spot."
The man known only as M noted the appearance of a new member to the team, as well as the non-appearance of the mysterious drow lady. He figured not all of them would take the bite but he knew she would be sorely missed in this adventure. But the appearance of the new shorter lady with the light looking fingers. They had thier work cut out for them but after seeing them he felt a little bit more confident in the odds.
"Shall we turn in for the night the first round is on me, Assal if you dont mind my I have your ear for a minute before we retire for the night."

Subject: Humbled.
Karia came up to a knee and wiped her lip from the blood. She knew she let her anger get the best of her and cost them the element of surprise. "I messed up huh.. I let my emotions get the best of me, it wont happen again."
Karia came back onto her feet and cracked her fingers then her neck. "What if we smoked him out, Hes got to breath right?" Karia reached down and grabbed up some dirt and rubbed it into her hands. Even though she had gotten pummeled by a oblivious trap she had a weight lifted off her shoulders and felt somewhat more at ease.

As the others were talking Karia was seething. She firmed her resolve, "One of you flank the building now."
Karia focused herself and calmed focused her rage, she took a running start and with all her angry and despair crashed into the door with every bit of strength she could muster.
Her plan of action.. Shock and Awe.

She turned and looked at at Desrik "Its nothing lets get our everyone together its about time we find this butterfingers.. I have alot of aggresion to get out."
As they walk back inside and regroup, Karia gets everyones attention "We are going after Butterfingers tonight, I know where he is and the traps he has set up for us, I expect there to be more then just one but at least we know that he is prepared. Its time to stop being victims and get our lifes back."
(Karia will go to seek out Butterfingers even if the rest of the group doesnt choose to follow her, She is to angry to be reasoned with at this point. But she wont be reckless about how she does it.)

Topic: Wanderlust
Subject: Painful memories
Tears streamed from Karias eyes as painful memories came rushing back to her. "Shabyla..." was all she could muster up to say. What had her failure cost, how many lives were lost because of her, who did she leave behind. The scars she bore had meaning , she only hoped that her sacrifice was not in vain. She turned away from the two and walked for the door half rushed and half staggered. She turned as she exited the tavern tears streaming harder then before her emotions took over. She fell to the ground and clinched her hands in the dirt so hard she felt as if she would make diamonds. All she wanted was to know what happened to those she failed.
Her tears dried up and she took to her feet.. on day she will properly grieve but not today. She had another mission and more important things consumed her mind. She clinched her fist more tightly then ever before and with new found strength and form she struck the thickest wooden strut she found. The Connection was more solid then she ever thought possible the sound reverberated through the cleft and she heard a solid crack of snapping wood.
Now was the time for action and time to get back what was theres. Securing the future by forgetting the past.

Karia was surprised that the last member was awake. "Well met friend, I dont suppose you know any better then we do how exacly we all got here.. or who we are for that matter"
Karia took several sips of her stew then passed it along to Vyran "We all need our strength if we are going to figure out what happened and get back on our feet."
Karia found Dom more creepy then anyone she had met here, But she new he may have his uses as much as the thought repulsed her. But in hard times you need to do desperate things. The had few leads and fewer time but butterfingers was first on there.. to do list.
"Here in Cleft, money ain't any use, as it can't be melted down and used for weaponry. We barter in useful objects or services, or duels." those words kept ringing in her head, if that was the case then thier possessions wouldnt likely be sold yet seeing as it wouldnt be practical if there was no currency to be bartered with. Then trading in mass would require a mass trade in return.
Karia stood up and walked over to Dom, she sighed deeply as she walked slowly. Karia smiled as she greeted Dom "I have heard of you, I was the one inquiring about the tavern position, but Im at odds because I am owed a debt by Butterfingers but I just cant seem to find him.." She batted her eye lashes and made she her form was in full view of the old man. "I dont suppose you would be inclined to help, I would be very grateful."

Topic: Wanderlust
Subject: Playing to your strengths/Muscle memory
A grizzled old man in a chair by the fireplace, an old hag with a crystal ball at the other end of the room, a soot-stained burly man and a weedy boy each with a pint of beer... three adventuring types, armed to the teeth, strode out through the door as it closed behind the four clueless new arrivals.
" It looks like we have three primary goals: get our stuff back, find out who we are, and get a source of income to pay people. Vyran paused for a second before turning to the barkeeper. He asked," Good sir, what type of currency is used around here?"
Karia payed close attention to everything around her the Adventurers that were "heavily armed" the weedy boy and the Hag with the crystal ball. One of them was bound to know the whereabouts of butterfingers..but if he indeed did rob them he would have all thier possessions if they werent hocked already. So going after him first may not be the safest course of action, till they could become more equipped at least. But Karia did have an idea that may just work.
Karia tried to look as innocent and charming as she could when she addressed the owner. "Thank you so much for helping me and my friends here in our time of need. How noble you are and your kindness will not be forgotten, Some stew would be lovely." she said with a smile "do you have a clergy in these parts by chance?"
After finishing up her conversation with the barkeep karia met with her friends at a table they had bought a little bit of time but they needed to act quickly or the trail would run cold.
"listen that one is still out cold so he wont be of much use to us as is, I suggest we leave him in the room and ask the bartender to rely a message to him in the event he wakes up. We have food and rooms for the night and a possible lead on our possessions, but we still dont know who we are or what we can do. But we do have a Fortune teller who may know a little bit of magic and some well armored warriors. Maybe seeing them in action might jog our memories, at least so we know what are strong points are. I will try to Charm the men into giving us a little display but we need to act quickly if we want a shot at this. Any thoughts on everything?"

Topic: Wanderlust Information Thread
Subject: Playing the slueth.
Karia is going to attempt to piece things together based on what she knows.
1. How hungry is she? that might give an estimated time of how long they were unconscious for
2. She is going to try to watch the people around her to see if any of thier skills seem familiar to her giving her a better understanding of who she is and what she can do.
3. At this point Karia is under the assumption that she is a soldier based on her line of thinking and how she instinctively went for her side when she was startled .. but its just a guess.
4. Karia will make sure the excess clothes get back to the sower as well as her thanks and promise of repayment.
If all else fails she will attempt to get a job somewhere in the town to pay for lodging and food till they can piece things together.

Subject: The Falling Fool.
"My dad said to invite you to come get a drink at his tavern, the Falling Fool. First drink on the house, he says it'll draw more custom. Anyway, I've got to get back to work, so if you'll excuse me..."
The Falling Fool karia thought to herself, That clears up some mystery. As she looked through the clothes she grabbed a skin tight sleeveless white shirt, a pair of grey baggy pants with a pair of brown boots and a loosely slung belt and a black scarf that she through around her neck letting the excess hang behind her back. Karia looked at the girl "Did you see what happened, or does this type of thing happen often?" Karia had all but ruled out that they were from here and if they were enemies they wouldnt be afforded such graces.. nor would they have woken up for that matter. She knew that no matter what the young ladies response was her father was bound to have more information. It would seem more likely they were either traders,soliers or adventurers.
She noticed the social graces of one of the men.. the one that kept looking at her.. maybe he remembered something she didnt maybe not. First thing is they need to find out what the tavern owner knows and repay his kindness.
She entered into the Inn and greeted the man accepting whatever the first drink she saw was "Sir, thank you for your kindness I humbly offer my services around your inn as repayment for these clothes..and board?"
Karia would make sure that her group had proper food and lodging and thier was no better place for someone who needs information to be then the center of all gosip. But one thing else remained, Karia didnt know if any of them were warriors but she knew they needed weapons.

Subject: Thinking
"Well then I guess we should move to find a tailor then and see if anyone saw what happened."
Alot of things didnt make sense to her why was everyone so apathetic to thier situation it seems like this would be more of a scene then it was made out to be. That led her to believe that they werent locals seeing as someone they knew would have said something to her or the men. But it seems like outsiders would also draw at least a good samaritan, unless this was more common occurence then it would seem. But how did all of us end up her, were we friends, comrades, enemies? She knew someone would know something. Through everything that happened Karia felt incomplete, she was missing something that was very attached to her. Only time would tell how this would all play out. But first things first they needed some clothes...

Subject: That sinking feeling.
"Dont forget, everything is up to you now." Karia looked towards the voice but couldnt see a face. "Who are you? What am I doing?" the voice responded "Never forget."
She opened her eyes and was startled she jumped up but immediately went back down. She grabbed at her sides that were in pain as she checked for bleeding she realized she had no clothes on. That was the least of her worries though as she couldnt remember anything else. As the sound of man rang in her ears her left hand dropped swiftly to her side, she looked down and saw nothing. She was confused "what was I looking for? What am I doing here?"
She looked around to see all the others naked just the same as her, The thought that she was the only woman surrounded by naked men crept into her mind "did they.." She dismissed that thought based on the fact that she was in the middle of the town, noone wold be that brazen. She saw the stone buildings around her and the people not paying much attention to the group of naked people surrounding laying in the middle of the town in a small pool of water. Something here wasnt adding up and this was no accident they were her. Moreso before she could figure out why she was here or what she was doing she would have to figure out who she was. Was she part of the town, a travel, a adventurer. Her head started to hurt as panic set in and she couldnt remember the slightest detail.
"Hey! Does anyone have any clothes I could have?"
"So, sir, if I may ask... Who the hell are you, and why the hell am i unclothed? And assuming you know more than me, why are we in each other's presence? All naked, i might add...."
She took a few deep breaths..."karia.. thats my name and thats where ill start." She stood up taking care to cover herself and looked to the others "Is everyone ok?" "Do any of you know whats going on?"

Just like the title says whos your favorite?
Favorite hero, Whisperwalk the Werewolf Lord druid who raised an army of forest animals to fight of a orc campaign and thier Half-devil Ogre warchief. He ended up killing him but was mortally wounded and killed off by the rest of the orcs. But ended the campaign.
Favorite Villian, The Dragon Emperor a Half-Dragon(Red) Tyrannosaurus. He was born with no innate dragon abilities besides full sized arms and the ability to communicate. He was bitterly jealous over all things magical since he had no real draconic ability. So he raised a small force of lesser half dragons and other dinosaurs. While gathering as many powerful relics and magic items as he could in the attempt to rule over all other dragons and become a God.

The assassin lay on the floor utterly broken only able to take a few labored breath. He was begging for death it was his only release now. He told everything he knew, he had nothing left he had failed in more ways thn one.
The Man hastily gathered his supplies and everything he needed oil, knifes, rope, Bolts, poison and most importantly acid for this mission it may be his greatest weapon in the fight to come. He knew he had rushed things and sent the Adventures into a trap, he could gauge thier mettle but thier adversary was the best the man had ever known. He had no time to waste he tied a bandana around his exposed arm to cover up his tattoo, he knew if the orc bard saw it he would be found out. The man looked back at the assassin before he left, with a stern face betrayed by a small grin he said simply "thanks." He pointed his right arm at the man and from his hand shot a bolt that pierced right through the mans skull. The assassin finaly found the relief he was looking for but the real game had just begun.
