Lassara - Shards of Neril - OOC and Signup Thread [In Play / Sign-ups]

[Greyblades]

Yeah I thought about that but then he made a post in the story thread after his "goodbye" in Netherworld. We'll just have to ask him.

@Greyblades: How many days have passed for your characters now? I think I lost track a bit.

Third day, mid afternoon, they'll be arriving at leon in the evening.

[thefluffyone93]

psssst......
Where shall we go Chaotix?

[Chaotix]

Perhaps you should read my story post in reply to you last story post...

Frijyk has had enough of the people of Leon, doesn't want to go back there. Also thinks it's pointless to keep chasing the golem. He suggested exploring the east.

[Seon]

Don't worry, Chaotix. I'll... uhh... catch up with you...somehow...

BUT WHERE?

I'll have Morangul suggest a town name after pointing it out on the map.
Vintom is probably going to be assaulted by the army soon.....

How about south, to Yonal?

I'll have Morangul drop a hint that the Paladin Stronghold was located in the southern part of the country.

Sound good?

Oh, and anything we should know about Yonal?

[TheLastDays]

Like all Lassaran towns it is ruled by a noble family, in this case it's a relatively "new" house as about two centuries ago one of the sons of Lord Katar of Epayl Nir has taken a group of settlers there and founded his own town. It has grown fast because of a large amount of minerals in the mountains so it's a mining town. Apart from that you're free to invent

[Diamondeye]

Secura, I am still awaiting your reply.

[thefluffyone93]

I have posted.

And left all of the decision making up to you, Chaotix.

[Chaotix]

Frijyk doesn't have a map, Fluffy! He's been living in an isolated stronghold in the mountains his entire life!

EDIT: Alright, you gave a decent justification, so we'll roll with it.

[thefluffyone93]

Ach, Chaotix.

Your mention of horses brings about another question I have.

Are we to do a day-by-day commentary on the travels between towns?
For the most part, I would think that it would be uneventful....

Of course, saying "x amount of days passed during their travels"
isn't that great either.
Plus, it would place our characters some time ahead of everyone else.

Of course, I could just have Morangul cast some sort of spell that
speeds up the travel immensely, such as a magic carpet (tacky, I know)
or some other means of magical transportation.
I wouldn't use teleportation though.

I will check back in the morning.

Tatty-bye!

[Chaotix]

I figure we can just travel at the speed of plot.

Right now we are slightly behind, as we are on night 2 while the rest are in day 3. So we spend day 3 getting back to the road, and then we'll worry about it.

[Greyblades]

I'm back and I've got afew points I'd like to discuss, namely magic; There are three things I'd like to figure out.
Firstly, scrying, in this world morangul has already established you can magically observe distant places and people, what's stopping boreal or vayn from going to a crystal ball and telling it to show them the location of the princess?
Secondly, we've got teleportation in this world, what sort of ranges can you go, are there some locations we cant go?
Finaly, We have gods, I was thinking we would just go with the Dungeon and dragon's pantheon plus whoever TLD wants to add, anyone have a problem with that idea?

[Diamondeye]

I mostly have a problem with Secura's silence

[TheLastDays]

Yep, where is everyone? ^^

But as for Greyblades' questions:

1) I'd say you'd have to be pretty powerful for scrying which Morangul is. Definitely the villains would be powerful enough but let's just keep it the way Morangul did it. He didn't tell his bowl to look at a certain person, just an area (the capital city) - so scrying is rather limited, you can't just stallite track someone
2) Well you brought teleportation in and as with scrying I'd limit it very much. Range should be very limited and it should get more and more inaccurate the farther you want to teleport.
3) Gods will be very important, not necessarily playing a very active part but for the backstory. The Lassarans still worship the gods they have worshipped before they arrived on the island now known as Cantun. I'll update the OP with a section on their pantheon today or tomorrow. All those that have created their own races (like B_Ray) can of course create their own gods that their races believe in or whatever religious system they might want them to have.

[Seon]

I'm actually waiting for princess's reply to my offer :p

[B-Wing]

Guys, I'm sorry for being so inactive, but my time is about to get even shorter starting in a couple weeks. I'm thinking about writing my character (Glungurd) out of the game, whether through death or some more temporary means. TLD, how do we wish for me to handle this situation?

[Secura]

I mostly have a problem with Secura's silence

Unfortunately, I'm working 40+ hours per week, across three locations around town with minimal staff and high stress, for no wage whatsoever... I don't really have the motivation nor the capacity to contribute anything worthwhile to the game at this moment in time. You'll notice that I've removed myself from the mafia invitation list too, I just don't really have the time at the moment. :/

If I'm seriously holding you guys up, you can continue to write without me... just assume that Tawariell doesn't want to talk, or that she slinked away, or whatever you want/deem most appropriate. Apologies for having not said something sooner.

[Diamondeye]

It's no biggie, Sec - I've got first day at my University tomorrow, so I'll probably be adequately entertained for the next couple of weeks..!

[Greyblades]

There's no preassure, the odd short paragraph every now and then to say your character is continuing to follow someone else or travelling to a place would be plenty until either you gain more free time or something interesting happens.

[TheLastDays]

Oh I thought you wanted to reply to shlin. Sorry, update will be up shortly.

We can handle this any way you guys want. If you want to retain the possibility to rejoin the game later on we can have your characters wander off and resurface somewhere else later. If you want to step out permanently we can orchestrate an honorful death ^^

It's no biggie, Sec - I've got first day at my University tomorrow, so I'll probably be adequately entertained for the next couple of weeks..!

So, are you going to step out too? I'm just asking to be sure about what we're going to work with. Neither can I nor would I want to force anyone to keep playing this game but I also don't want to force anyone out so I'll be as flexible as possible.

[TheLastDays]

Err, Seon, I just made something up for the disguises, I hope that's alright with you :P

[Secura]

There's no need to kill my character/s, this lack of posting won't be a permanent thing; it's just until I can sort my work hours out and find my writing mojo again. :P

Awwww...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Alright, I think we'll just see what khaan says as he is the most linked to your character at the moment I guess so if he has time and wants to contribute atm we can have your character/s run off for the time being and return whenever you have the time to come back

Also:

OP in all three threads updated with a section on religion. More entries in that section to come, but for now the main pantheon because GB asked for that. Sorry for the delay.

Status & Locations updated in all three OPs. Chaotix/fluffy(Slender) please tell me what time you're at right now ^^

[thefluffyone93]

Uhhh....
Night 2, beginning of Day three I guess.
The travel to Yonal via my mystical flying chariot should take a full
day, unless you want it to be longer.

[Riedquat]

@tld

The princess, Shlin and Dietrich looked like your average farmer from the surrounding areas of Leon and Alaria had taken back to her appearance of the girl they had first seen her as.

Sorry but if Shlin is there, where is Drax?

[TheLastDays]

Lol, good catch gonna fix that right away

[B-Wing]

I'm somewhat caught up on the story thread, and I actually feel inspired to make a post now, but I'm not really sure what our party's current objective in Leon is.

[TheLastDays]

Well we want to meet with he princess' old teacher, the guy DiY and DE visited, but unfortunately he died in the bombardment... but right now our goal is simply to get into the town without receiving too much attention

[Greyblades]

Isn't it about time the princess' group had a transition scene into leon?

[TheLastDays]

True it is. I was waiting if shlin and Seon would want to continue their ingame discussion but I'll get the group into Leon shortly.

Err, everyone, could we get a little sign from anyone who's still here? I'll send out a few reminder PMs I guess, just so we know who's on board and who isn't.
