--- XP Awards ---
[SBLOCK=DECEMBER 2005]
STARTING XP
ALLOCATED XP
NOTES:
* I'm awarding 1xp per post, a sort of garnish to the time served award. The number in brackets is just the running total. Ignore it, its just an administrative aid for me.
** ROLEPLAY BONUS AWARD: I like the idea of rewarding good roleplay, but I think that everyone should have a say in which player/character gets the award. So we are going to vote for it.
Everyone gets two votes. You may vote for your own character. You may not vote for the same character twice. The two characters with the most votes will get an award of 50 xp each.
Characters may not win the award for three consecutive months. If they come first or second in the third month after getting the award in the two previous months, then the third place character gets the award instead.
Rule Zero is in effect.
I will post voting forms at the start of each month for the previous month's play. The form will look something like this:
* ROLEPLAY AWARD JAN'06 * [SBLOCK]1) XXX, 2) YYY.[/SBLOCK][/sblock]

PR BONUS: Next month I promise.

[sblock=The Red Dragon Inn]Tavern - City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn VIII, post #778
A well dressed man quietly enters the Red Dragon Tavern. For a moment he stands still in the doorway. His gaze wonders around the tavern. He nods to Joe.
"Joe. Long time no see. The faces are new, but otherwise things haven't changed much, have they. I'm looking for a little help again. Is there a booth available?"
He returns his attention to the tavern. This time his attention is directed at the faces around the tavern.
"My name is Ashih Hanasisar. I am a merchant here in Orussus and I am looking for a little help. Four to six brave souls would probably be enough. I am offering 240 gold pieces now, and another 240 upon completion. It will take a week or two, and involve some travelling. If would like to know more, feel free to join me over here."
Ashin gestures to the booth that Joe had just moments before indicated was free. Ashin himself heads over to the bar where he orders something from one of the bottles on the top shelf and served in a small glass.
After knocking back the drink, he returns to the booth.
"So, you all know who I am and what I bring to the table. Who do we have here and what do you bring?
Tavern - City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn VIII, post #791
Ashin acknowledges each of the adventurers as the introduce themselves.
<snip>
Ashin glances around the tavern to see if there are any more coming this way. When it seems tht he has everyone who is coming, he returns his attention to the group. He runs his gaze over the group once more and nods with satisfaction. The merchant offers anyone who would like one a drink. When everyone is settled and ready, he continues.
"As I mentioned I am a merchant here in Orussus. I have a contract with one of silver mines in Duvik. Duvik is a village, well small town really, in the Stonepike mountains. The silver comes in from Duvik once a month. About 6 weeks ago when a shipment came in we were told there had been some illness in Duvik. Over the next few weeks, I began to hear stories, rumours of terrible things; plague, madness, monsters the walking dead, demons. So a week before the next shipment was due, I sent one of my people with a couple of stout men up to Duvik to look around, and see that the next shipment came back safely. That was three weeks ago.
"A few days ago I had the opportunity to talk to someone from Duvik. Apparently, many have fled the town. The persons recall of events was hazy, but in accord with the stories that I had heard. They spoke of a plague, madness, monster stalking the streets and the dead working the mines driven by devils with whips.
"Something is going on in Duvik. I think that that is clear enough. But I think that the stories are as much a product of the superstitions and imagination of the people as anything. Duvik is an isolated place, far from the centres of learning and politics. The people are simple folk, and superstitious. They see kobolds under the bed and elementals in the every water pool. I think the answer is more mundane than they think, but perhaps more complicated.
"For that reason there is something I need to do."
Ashin takes a small leather tube from his belt and slides off the top third, revealing a plain iron rod. The rod is about 8 inches long and about half an inch in diameter.
"This is a truth rod; it prevents the holder from lying. Before we go any further, I am going to ask those who are interested to answer a simple question."
Ashin holds up his hand to forestall any questions.
"I perfectly understand if you do not wish to do it, and I will tell you the question before asking any of you to make your decision. The question is this: Do you own allegiance or debt to the Lord of Fallon, or to any that themselves own allegiance or debt to the Lord of Fallon.
"If you answer 'yes', then I must ask you to leave, with my thanks for your time."
Ashin give those who wish to leave time to do so. To those that remain he hands the rod and asks the question to each in turn.
Each of the arrivals agrees to take the rod and answer the question. There is a brief discussion about the fee and a questions about Fallon and the possibility of adding another to their number. As he has allowed for six, and there are only five so far, Ashin leaves the matter of taking on one more to those already gathered to decide upon.[/sblock]
