Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Gosh everyone is so nice already! Can't go wrong with offering muffins, real or not! ;P

On another note, I have to drive to Portland today and it's a really terrifying, stressful crazy city full of one way streets, construction and insane drivers. I've literally had recurring nightmares of driving there on accident and freaking out, so basically this is the stuff of hell for me. Why do I tell you this? Because if I don't post on here again you should probably assume I died in a fiery inferno somewhere on the 205.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Sorry everyone! Had a lot pop up and my schedule shifted slightly, just enough to ruin my previous scheduling setups.

I'm still here! Gonna try n catch up and at least read everything today.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Sorry to say that Brother Sul has bowed out for the next few months. Life gets the better of us sometimes. His character will still be here when he gets back though. Best of luck to him!

In the meantime, if you need me to inject into the current story, please let me know. Otherwise, we can start moving towards the next chapter. Cheers!

Best of luck, Sul!

What exactly is the next chapter? Some of those items on the rumor board look interesting too, are there any close to Maypole?

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

I've got a lot of things pulling me around right now. I can still actively post, but I won't be doing much along the lines of driving the story for a bit while I get a better grasp of things.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

The rumor board quests are always up for grabs. There are also the PC threads, such as Farrissa’s situation, Arizima’s research and investigations, and even Kharash looking into the dragonborn lead. You could also pick a place on the map and explore if that is something you want to do.

I am good with hand waving the rest of downtime and moving straight into a quest setup, but y’all will have to decide which direction you want to go. Right now, my plan is to have Sul stay back in Maypole and learn the ropes as the leader of a new order from the Roses.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Well we have to deal with the Farissa situation first.  At least that's been my take on the situation.  Past that it probably makes sense to go on some sort of quest from the rumor board?  She wouldn't immediately demand it but Arizima would prefer something that was in the direction of that old Dunnothi stronghold so she can stop by it on the way there or back as well.  If that's possible.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Pending no objections, I will update the Caged Bird thread on Sunday to reflect the group trying to interact with Farrissa before her trial. Please have any posts you wish to close out done by then. The next Chapter of this story is about to begin!

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

I've updated my latest post in the caged bird thread to reflect some information I was working towards outside the latest thread so anyone that's read it may want to reread the second paragraph.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

I'm really sorry for my lack of posting lately. Things have been really busy. I have a project that requires all my time and energy, and I keep thinking I can keep up with the game, but it turns out I just can't.

I don't want to make everyone wait for me all the time, so I think it's better if I take a step back from the game. At least for the next 5-6 weeks, until this project is finished.

I will be able to check in every once in a while, but then I won't participate IC - that way you all can enjoy the game freely :)

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Of course. RL comes first. Easy enough to have a Watcher come in and out of the story.

How does everyone want to proceed?

In reply to Griswold Ortmann (msg # 699):

Don't worry, you didn't put any pressure on me. I actually like how you involve people like that, and were things a bit different Kharash may have actually stepped up to the task ;)

I forgot to ask.

Do y’all have a group name decided on yet?

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

I don't remember even talking about it. Something related to the order seems rather fitting, given the circumstances.

I’ve taken to referring to your group as Heirs of the Order when referring to you in the RL game I have set in the same world.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Roland and his father are both still alive and Farissa is still imprisoned. Let's go gain some levels so Wrenn can nuke the Ashen Order into oblivion and save the girl!

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

quote:
The Lord Markham, Duke of the Western Lowlands, has reported a band of roving orcs in his lands and has offered 2 gold per head.

-A band of hunters reports something turning things to stone in the forest. The local towns folk are in a panic.

-A village has reported a ghostly bear haunting the town and needs assistance.

-Children have started to go missing in the town of Verlaine. The reason is unknown, but seems to be without cause.

-Xaril holds the promise of riches and artifacts.

-The Oracle of Armana is being sought by a baron south of Leffrun. The path to the oracle is treacherous and only a few brave souls have made the journey before.

-Should they ask for quests, Lady Inara will inform them that the borderlands always need brave souls to quell uprisings and rebellious lordlings. There is also the Wild Lands that can be explored.

-A mysterious figure has been rumored to enter towns, leaving them husks when they leave. The latest victims are in the town of Port Ariana.

-The crew of a legendary cargo ship that went down has been seen along the coast.

-A forest duchy is reporting that they need help. The information is vague, but the rumor is the dukes wife has gone missing in the forest.

-A rumor has emerged of a dragon being sighted near a village north of Sighiem, at the base of the mountains.


Griswold would be most interested in helping those children out, but anything is fine.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Children and Xaril seem the most promising, atm. We can go after dragons, vampires, and medusas after we've gained another level or 8.

Re: OOC: A tavern outside the universe

Arizima would like to move in the direction of those ruins she uncovered in her book but she's not going to be super picky.  If the children (they sound like they're in the lead right now) aren't that way that's fine.
