Hello all.

The characters look good. I can't copy/paste Penny's sheet so if you would like in the character details you have to do it. if not i don't mind checking the link.

i know that you guys know each other and probably know a lot about one another's characters, but i don't. so if you wouldn't mind go into the character thread and describe the character's relationships, if any, to one another.

i'm assuming the characters have a history with one another, but it isn't a necessity. work out whatever ties the characters have to each other if any and i will go with that when the game begins.

also if you would like to throw a little creativeness into the world answer the questions in the Vaiden and You thread and I will use those detail in expanding the world and the story lines.

i will try finish a basic map of the area the party is in to give you some feel for where you are. also, i will try to put out some basic world info like major kingdoms, gods, notable history, ect.

Sounds good. Previously we all knew each other as we were 12th level in the game we all worked together on these characters but I'd say this should be an earlier stage in everyone's career. As 3rd level characters we MIGHT have met a little but I wouldn't imagine anything strongly existing

I am screwed up with the maps, well, i deleted them by mistake. no worries, it was only around six hours of work!

so, in the land of Alkuff (All-cuff) in the capital city of Kardican (Car-de-can). the city is not large, about 5,000 residents in the gates, in the surrounding township, and the farms out about a mile along the old road.

the majority of the populace is a roughly even mix of human, halfling, and dwarf. there is a good sized community of elves in the nearby forests and more than a few little villages of orcs and goblins.

primary trade products are lumber, iron ingots, and dwarven liquors. other common trade goods include tools, weapons, wagons, carts, sheep, sheep dogs, cement, and flagstone. the city isn't a bucket of wealth, but the average citizen enjoys a good life and poverty isn't a common condition in the capitol.

King Alfred the Wise, 44, Human (more commonly known as the Bold - too much fighting)
Queen Lelu, Half Elf, 23 (Lelundra Goldleaf - the fourth Queen in 18 years)
Princess Sildine, Human, 15 (Only heir, from second wife - educated and entitled)

Standing army, the King's Guard, has around 100 knights, 300 more cavalry, 800 infantry, 300 archers, and a handful of specialists. Currently the Guard is divided into to the three 'divisions', the Southern Division in on patrol in the southern part of the kingdom, the Northern Division in the north, and the Capitol Guard is stationed in Kardican.

Not currently at war with anyone but there is a lot of activity such as banditry, raiders, and monsters in Alkuff.

There are a few petty kingdoms to the north, similar to Alkuff really, that have been at war for a decade or so. That is a week's ride away. To the east, about ten days or so away, if the border of the Il Dracoi Empire - one of the largest nations in all of Vaiden and it is owned and operated by clans of Vampires. Yep, a vampire empire. say that really fast five times in a row. i dare you.

if you guys want to go into the character thread and outline any existing relationships between the characters then head over to the beginning thread i posted and start there we can work into the beginning of the adventure that will get one of you sacrificed to the staypuff marshmellow god and one of you enslaved in the land of beautiful women as a urinal bucket holder.

no rush.

i will try to get a few maps up soon, say in a day or three. thanks for the patience. time to go save the kingdom

good job guys, i will give everyone a chance to put up a post or three before I bring in the dra, er, the plot hook that looks a lot like a dragon, only not exactly a dragon, well, yeah, it's a dragon, but it's the plot hook too, and only one of you needs to die now, er, sacrifice themselves for the salvation of the town, that is, until the plot hook returns and breathes fire everywhere

the unconscious elf gal is wearing a cloak of wool lined with satin, a long tunic made of very fine linen, breaches made of the same linen, knee high boots of well tanned leather, and a thin silken scarf. At her waist was a thin belt with a ornate silver buckle that mounted a soft leather purse, a dagger that looked out of place with her attire due to its functional nature, and a wand in a slim case. She was carrying a slim leather and oiled canvas pouch hanging over one shoulder that holds a collection of potions, a small pouch, and a map case.

all together, including the gambison, she weighs about 110 pounds.

Well thank you for having us! Sorry I've been not posting as much as I'd like to. I've been coming home just wiped lately. I'm going to be asking my doctor for a blood test to see if theres something wrong and hopefully it can be fixed and I can get back to more posting fun!

my guess is that you have a case of the canthelpits, happens to all of us at times. it will pass. the cause is acute exposure to real like. the cure is rest, good food, and a little patience. that is why so many people suffer from it.

Great job.

Where you are headed is about twenty five miles south along an old road made from flagstone pavers known as the old trade road. it comes from a time when the vast continent you are on was once all part a single kingdom. Parts of Kardican are rebuilt in the ruins of some old, old city.

It will take two days, one night only, of travel to get to where the elf maiden's husband is encamped in the wilderness. he is known to be embroiled with a small war against a tribe of nomadic green skins. think orcs, goblins, ogres, and the like that travel around like a tribe of roaming vikings just looting, killing, raping, and generally oppressing those they come across.

the weather will continue to be cool, stormy, and generally no fun to travel in the whole time, so if you need some sort of gear to cope with it feel free to acquire it without role playing a shopping stop. You probably would have had it anyway.

Once every has made ready to travel I will move the scene along in a new post covering the travel to the camp. there is most likely be a not so random encounter where Cthuhl, um a bad guy, shows up to devour Penny with some onions and ketchup.

I will try again to get a map involved. thanks for the patience there.
