"I don't think...I can believe you." Beld whispered, his voice quiet. The High Priest Paragron slammed his hands down on the table, the sound reverberating through the Great Hall, stunning those that had not been paying attention, and shaking those who had been asleep.
"You're a damned fool to believe that whatever is on the other side of the Fey won't invade us!" Paragron shouted from across the large Unity Table, the one place where the leaders of the Governance and Council met. Beld looked concerned over the High Priest's harsh words. On all other matters important to the city and the morals of Corellon, the High Priest wavered. Beld had never seen such forcefullness in Paragron in all his years as Governance Elder.
"The Fey is moving back from the city after untold millenia," Paragron continued, his voice only slighly lower, "and instead of giving the Council unilateral power to mobilize the army in defense, you wish us to sit on our hands!"
"But we are unsure of what this threat really is, High Priest!" Insisted Beld, the agitation in his voice growing clearer with every sentence, "What good is it to mobilize the forces against a threat that is unknown to us? No, the proper way is to send scouts and begin the Scry to the outskirts of the Commons, where this threat was first reported." The two powerful Eladrin stared silently at each other for moments that seemed like an eternity. The silence was penetrated by a hacking cough.
Centiri, one of the Eldest of the Council, began violently coughing. He attempted to stand and remove himself from the Table but doubled over, coughing mucus mixed with blood onto the Table and food that had been served. The other Members around him moved away quickly, but Beld moved to help the old Eladrin.
"No!" Shouted Paragron, stopping Beld, "you mustn't touch him!" The Eldest was still coughing, his body lurching forward now, each impulse seemingly larger than the last.
"Look!" One of the other leaders said, pointing to the ailing Elder, "he is bleeding from his ears!" Indeed, there was blood coming from both of his long ears. But that is not where it stopped. The blood began to pour from his mouth, nose, and even eyes. The Elder, now choking on his own blood, release a gagging scream and fell to the ground, his body convulsing as blood now seemed to seep from his pores as well. Finally, the Elder feel silent. All of the leaders look at each other, horror filling their eyes. Was Centiri poisoned? Were they next? No one dared move, and no one dared breathe. Some even covered their mouths with the sleeves of their shirts, afraid to breathe the air.
"By the name of Corellon..." Beld finally spoke, breaking the silence. He was covered in sweat, breathing hard from the trauma of seeing on of his friends on the Council suddenly and violently expire, "What in the name of the Nine Hells..."
"Dear Agony." Was all Paragron could manage, his strained voice echoing across the silent Hall.

This is the OOC Thread for the paragon tier campaign that was conceived here. The following people have submitted interest for the campaign. Any additional recruitment will be considered later.
1. WalkingDad - Dwarf Swarm Druid/Blightbeast - Controller Character Submitted
2. Voda Vosa - Human Wizard/Weaver of Chance - Controller Character Submitted
3. renau1g - Human Cleric/Battle Chaplain - Leader Character Submitted
4. hero4hire - Githrezei Monk/Storvakal - Striker Character Submitted
5. Theroc - Cold-themed Dragonborn Sorceror/Dragonsoul Heir - Striker Character Submitted
6. Cabana - Human Cleric|Wizard hybrid/Divine Oracle - Controller|Leader Possible Alternate
Character Creation and House Rules:
Characters must be created using the standard 22 point buy system (as described in the Players Handbook). The standard wealth will also be used. Characters will start at level 11. All races/classes that are available in the Character Builder are acceptable (and any updated materials automatically become acceptable.
Currently, we will be going by all the standard Players Handbook rules. "Legendary" items will be accepted, so long as any power the weapon uses is within the rules. For example, the Legendary Weapon Bladespin is (and always was) a +3 Defensive Longsword, however the legends have made the weapon out to be something special. Legendary items are legend in name only.
Once your characters have been created, please post (or re-post if you have already done so) your completed character using the character posting guidelines given in the "Paragon" thread. Characters posted any other way will not be accepted. I must have a PDF copy of your character sheet that I can download.
If we have more than 5 people who have completed the character process, we will have a small posting competition to determine who will be able to play (I will flesh this out if it is necessary).
Posting Rules
I don't like to give any set rules for posting, but a good rule of thumb is to make sure that I am the one everyone is waiting on. PbP campaigns can be really fast or really slow, I expect them to lag and then pick up pace very quickly throughout the process. I am expecting everyone to be excited by this campaign, and therefore willing to post. If this is not the case for you, then do not submit a character.
If it is your turn to post in any way (combat, RP, or otherwise), please post as soon as you are able. If you cannot post within a reasonable time frame (a day or so), please let me know. If you do not post within a few days of your turn, you will either take a Full Defensive Action (FDA) or will be skipped during RP.
All OOC actions posted in the IC thread must be made in the following format: (size 1 and "Gray" color)
{Minor: Please post your spell or you will sustain or minor action
Move: Please use the grid I provide for maps to state where you want to move.
Standard: Please state the Power Name along with the roll you use. Also roll for damage if it is needed, and any status effects this power creates when used. Also list any special properties this spell has.}
Dice rolling will be performed using Invisible Castle dice roller, and you will be responsible for all dice rolls except for initiative rolls (to start combat rounds) unless I specify. If Invisible Castle is down and you would like to post, use the Online Dice Roller at this link. Please use your username as your nickname, and join the room SinsFeyborn. This allows some sort of fairness in dice rolling from both me as your DM and you as the players.
This IC thread will be posted (whether competition or actual play) once all the characters are accounted for and ready to play. If I am missing anything or you have any questions, please let me know.
Let the fun commence!
