    bicameral legislation, kings and popes.

    I've always been intensely interested in the way different forms of government handle the problems that always come with leading a city, country, or empire. It's part of the reason I got into political science, and it's part of the reason I've been the main DM in my group. To me, it seems that...

    [IC] The Port Opal Underground - Part One

    Mischa seems to disappear for a few minutes whilst everyone returns to the cabin and settles down for the first day of sea voyage. Already, Moira and Haley are working on making sure that nothing will roll around or fall off tables by putting them away and what-not. Later on, Mischa returns and...

    OOC: Whenever you elect to use a skill or attack someone, you may roll the dice yourself. Also, if you're rolling a combat roll, please roll both To Hit and Damage and include them in a parenthetical addition to a sentence or something. - - - - - The half-elven crewman turns and regards the...

    [IC] The Port Opal Underground - Part One

    As Frem speaks with Brenodan, he spots Mischa and his other cabin-mates returning from the main deck. The group heads toward the cabin, and come to a halt when they meet up with Frem and Brenodan on their way up the stairs. The bald halfling waves casually and yawns noisily as he heads down the...

    Supporting a Keep/Fort

    There's some hireling information in the DMG, I can't remember the specifics off the top of my head, but I know it's in there... Also, the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook is also a good source for that sort of information, I think -- I'd have to check.

    [IC] The Port Opal Underground - Part One

    Mischa sidesteps away from Mongrés as he draws his bow and lets an arrow fly toward the harbour. He looks quizically in Marec's direction, hoping for an explanation -- and probably finding none. Off in the distance, the arrow lands and several children can be seen scrambling toward it. Then...

    Mischa nods again, and points out toward an old lighthouse, "It's so odd being back in Lucia. I used to live in that thing for a few years back when... well, when I still had hair." He snickers and leans against the railing, "Boy, thirty-one and it feels like I've lived longer than Kennewick's...

    Mischa agrees with Marec, "In my experience, there's only a cursory connection between the races. It's mostly money, and status, and power that separates the people. I have no doubt we'll get to know them in some way, it will be a long journey, but I doubt it will be anything meaningful." - - -...

    One of the crewmen stops and regards Brenodan, "Well, sir, it seems that there's been a bit of an overbooking onboard the Unity, so we're going to have to move a group from that ship to this one. All I heard is that they're a group of elven ladies and that they were the first to be 'elected'...

    OOC: Sorry to keep you waiting! - - - - - Brenodan spots Mischa, Mongrés, and Tobius halfway down the corridor in the direction of the stairwell leading up, to the crew's level and the surface; and down, to the cargo, mess, and other assorted, lower level "quarters." As he starts to move, he...

    My apologies for not being able to post anything up in the past few days. It appears that I've caught a bad strain of something and I was bed-ridden since Friday. Looking at the monitor still makes me a bit dizzy, but I think I should be a bit better tomorrow (well, at least in a few hours since...

    [IC] The Port Opal Underground - Part One

    After watching Marec storm out, Kennewick furrows his brow and says "Well, Kaufman, we don't really need anyone else to give us any money up front, you see, because we already have a tidy sum of gold and silver already in place." He places a stone and digs into his backpack and brings out a...

    He will be now, hehe. Thanks for the well-wishing, Krug, I think I did well! Before I go any further, I'm wondering this: "Is everyone fairly familiar with the way our banks work?" I ask this because this is how I want gnomish banking to work out... Imperial banks don't lend money, they merely...

    Kennewick ponders deeply for a moment as he puts another stone down, "Hmm... I'm not certain that benevolent society is the best word. You are familiar with Imperial Banks, correct? The fact that they are mere holders of money, and do not lend it, is perhaps their greatest weakness. For a very...

    Nolan shrugs as he deals out the first card to everyone, face up. He then deals out the next four cards face down. "I guess it's true that we're fairly eclectic, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it an odd group. I think the best explanation is that we're all fairly good friends, or at least...

    Kennewick shrugs, "Well, not exactly. I'm from Guelphia City, Tweek and the Blackwater boys are from Illumina. I think Haley and Moira are from Taebrook, but I'm not sure where Mischa's from..." The gnome opens a book written in gnomish, it's pages have pictures of the War Stones board with...

    OOC: Maddmic, I'm sorry to hear that. :( Oh well, how about we say that your character introduces himself to everyone as Frem Peridoc, another fellow looking to start out a new life. For now, we'll say that he's quiet, and politely listens to everyone else speak due to the fatigue of travel...

    Kennewick looks up from his book in small surprise. Glancing in Mischa's direction, he smiles and pulls his spectacles off and takes Kaufman's hand. With a slight stutter and a noticable gnomish accent, he greets the goblin cordially, "Well, I- uh, thank you - I mean, hello. Welcome. Welcome...

    Regarding Tonguez and Elves Tonguez, I received your character. Good job, everything seems to be in order. :cool: Now, onto the Elves and other Races. I figure that the Pale Elves of this setting differ from the basic elves of other campaign worlds in more than their appearance, but also the...
