Dark Ages RP- OOC Thread and Sign Up

[Zerlina]

Also feel free to use the NPCs they're there for your amusement/development.

Quick note about weapons- you can choose to take the swords given by the nobles, OR you can bring your own OR you can carry both if the weight of your weapon allows it. Please also decide what you will be bringing with you on the quest as we don't want to have people pulling items out of nowhere. Keep in mind your characters weight and please post what your inventory.

Also a quick note about story- I'll try to be pretty hands-off, but there will be a couple of times when (as GM) I may have to steer the quest in one direction or another by having something happen to one of your characters (eg: an injury, a temptation, finding an item etc). To keep things fair, in order to decide who these things will happen to I'll be assigning all of us a number and rolling to see who is affected. Keep in mind this doesn't mean that you can't have things happen to your characters on your own, just that if there's a major even in the story that needs to happen to someone (and it doesn't matter who it is) it will be randomly chosen as things in nature are often random.

[Zerlina]

Should we start wrapping up the feast?

[Dragonium]

Certainly.

[Prpl_Mage]

Indeed.

[Zerlina]

Hey guys, feel free to have more interaction with each others' players, not just with NPCs. The story is also yours. As much as I'm keeping the larger events organized, you are free to invent subplots and to develop with each other etc.

*The last image should read 6th floor

Here are the floor in ascending order. There are some props in the rooms, as well as others you can add yourself as long as its reasonable that they would be in the room. The more you strategize, work together, interact with the environment, the better the rewards you will get at the end of the battle. The witch and Dougal may use some things against you as well.

LIMITATIONS: One player can only open one chest per post, you can only go up two floors per post, assuming the door to that floor isn't locked. The door on the 1st floor is locked at the start of the battle, but there is a key for it- the other locked doors are locked. You may attack the witch and Dougal, interact with her etc, as they are undead, there is only one way to kill the witch (a couple ways to kill Dougal) which you guys have to figure out and then strategize to achieve. Feel free to move the witch a bit but I'll control her major movements.

Iasan

History
   Iasan was born in Wintrie to a poor merchant with many children.  His father was unable to feed him, so at age five he was sent to a monastery to become a monk.  Here his education was paid for as a charitable act by a local lord.  While he was not overly religious (for the environment), Iasan did love the monastery as he had a natural talent for medicine, he eventually became a monk-physician.  Iasan was sent to a smaller monastery in Eyefer by his superiors to get him out of the way as he was a bad influence on the novice monks (encouraging drinking/gambling), it was thought that he would do the least harm in Eyefer.

Personality
   Iasan is a responsible person, however he does drink too much if there is alcohol around, which can lead him to gambling.  His skills as a physician are exceptional, and he is always looking to try new ideas to further his knowledge.  Iasan is a fairly easy going person, he is intelligent but will most likely listen to other’s ideas and follow them, as it is easier than arguing with them.  He does love adventure and seeing new places.

Appearance
   Iasan wears his monk robes, along with a leather bag carried on his back containing his medical tools and his mace.  He has very short black hair, and is average height (5’ 10”).

On a story-unrelated note, it occurred to me while looking at the world map that I can't recall a single Charas RP that hasn't slowed down and died once the party entered a swamp. Mersc Swamp, if we reach it, will be yet another a test of our prowess.

I like your use of maps though Zerl, it's nice to have reference materials.

[Zerlina]

Thanks! If I find that the swamp is dragging then I'll take us through it quickly. But it's not a barren swamp so we shouldn't have too much of a problem as long as we keep posting

Also- working on expanding the map right now. Stahn will actually have a country soon (a choice of 3 actually).

[Zerlina]

Ok so you guys have the choice of whether to go through the sewers or through the main gate. What would you prefer?

The sewer is not a windy dungeon sewer, it's pretty straightforward, but it will require some stealth and fighting to get there. It will take you out to the river.  You may have to ditch some of your heavier armour depending on how good of a swimmer you are.

The main gate is heavily guarded with footsoldiers and archers, and you will require either a whole lot of stealth, or a whole lot of man power (I would suggest stealth and a plan). It will take you out to the road, but depending on how you escape people may immediately be alerted of your exit, making you an easy target on the road. Also archers.

Hey Freddie let me know this wasn't very clear (thanks Freddie). You are all still on the quest, and are still on your way to kill the princess. You've just hit a bit of an obstacle in leaving Agrigola.

[Zerlina]

Also I edited a line in my last post:

"Ask your comrades. I don't know your true mission, no one does except those who the king deemed necessary. I know it is to do with the wedding of Elaine and Bahn. But that is all- I am only a lowly representative, after all...and a marquis" he looked at James.

This way you guys have a choice of your character knowing what the mission is, or not knowing.

[Zerlina]

Did some work on the world map so now there actually exists a continent north of Galuterra.

Also here is the predicament you guys are currently faced with- remember the guards are near the door and can be heard if they yell from where they're currently standing. You are currently in the room at the north end of the hall.
