[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 9215995, member: 1282"] [I]The men who came to Juniper House, bearing torches and reeking of drink and arrogance, clearly were sent by the Sheriff of Ravenswood, though they were more armed hooligans than sanctioned posse. Stern words from Jendi and Toriq's threatening presence drove them off before they could cause real mischief, or worse, but it's clear it's time to get out of Dodge, at least temporarily. The men mentioned Elena by name, and it's clear her father will no longer brook the soothsaying and more Mylistra has provided his daughter. The men will be back, looking for a time when Jendi and, especially, Toriq cannot offer their protection. What's more, the men had spoken of a new logging operation planned for the Chestnut Grove! The Sheriff must be hiring loggers to do his dirty work now. So under the darkness of before dawn, the three residents of Juniper House, along with young Nemo, who raced from the docks with forewarning of the coming threat, are faced with a decision how to proceed. Do you head into Ravenswood (stealthily, perhaps in disguise? in direct confrontation? in some other fashion and with some other plan?) to try and help Elena escape her domineering father, the Sheriff, and risk making powerful enemies? Or do you try to put a stop to the logging industry's incursion into the Chestnut Grove, where Dryope makes her home and where each felled tree is a physical blow to her being? If the latter, what will be your approach (ambush and perhaps combat? frightening off the loggers somehow? beseeching the Guildmaster directly to change his plan?)? Or do you have something else in mind entirely? What do you do?[/I] [HR][/HR] Whatever you choose here will have mechanical impact down the road: the conflict you choose first (even if it's not related to any of the 2 situations above), as it develops, will be at-level, and the ensuing conflict will be level +2.
