Velious takes Calach's hand and shakes it briefly. "I am Velious." The slender elf looks out at the crowd, marking the progress of the Shifter. "What an odd gathering this is, so filled with possibility and chance. Might I ask what brings a pilgrim such as yourself to the city of Towers and...

"Whoa. Peace, Aenyeweddien." Laucian grins as he steps noiselessly from the underbrush. "You can't kill all of your problems, especially not ones of this size." He shrugs. "What if we do kill a few leaders? More are just going to boil right up. The Horde seethes with violence...

Thank you for your words of encouragement, both of you. Sorrow, I apologize for dictating your character's actions without your input--I'll do my very best to make sure that doesn't sure that doesn't happen again. Ferrix, your character will be introduced into the story soon. Do you have a...

"We are too far north," Gravan tells you solemnly at your next meeting. "Impossibly far north, I'd say." He rubs his unshaven chin and looks at your thoughtfully. There are dark circles under his eyes, and it is obvious that he has come to feel a great deal of strain. "I can't begin to...

Velious looks over the two men standing at the column, the youthful Human paying little attention to his surroundings and the hooded Shifter effortlessly remaining keenly aware of everything around him. How very opposite they are, Velious muses, like light and dark. There's something unique...

Velious Three years in Sharn, Velious thinks, and I'm still constantly awed by the endless complexity of these towers. How very quintessentially human they are--on the surface, fragile and often not much to look at, but they can conceal surprising wonders. Behind his mask, Velious smiles at...

A few notes (skill and intelligence checks) Luckily, Gravan doesn't require any of your group to take a shift on watch--for the most part, you're all treated as passengers rather than as sailing crew. Which means that Norderil is able to devote plenty of time to a little research, both of the...

Well, I'd say that the game has gotten off to a pretty good start, and I hope everyone is enjoying it so far. Although I've done gaming for a while, I'm still pretty new to the PbP thing, so feel free to tell me if I'm not doing things right. Am I going too slow? Too fast? Writing too much...

The storm rages through the rest of the afternoon and evening, probably the worst thunderstorm any of you have ever seen. As night falls, the rain begins to freeze, coating the deck and sails with ice. Despite the danger, Gravan and his crew remain at their posts, keeping the ship afloat...

It will be difficult to take the Warforged's axe and shield. The axe is actually attached to his arm in place of his left hand--someone would have to actually cut the axe off in order to disarm it. Its inert right hand is holding the shield tightly in place, and a Strength check will be needed...

Gravan nods, obviously agreeing with Mong's assessment of the situation. "Low-ranking soldiers in the Order aren't trusted with much information. But it is a good idea to question them. What little we can glean from them might help shed some light on the situation. By the way, have you...

The skirmish winds to a close... A crack of thunder echoes off in the distance, warning of an oncoming storm. The sudden fog that had so badly obscured your vision of the sea is vanishing fast, driven back by the waves of heat coming off of the black ship. The sky is rapidly darkening--heavy...

An explosive (although brief) battle! Karthak closes his eyes, fingers twisting sublimely in the air as he concentrates on precisely manipulating the elemental forces. A split second later: an incredible roar, a brilliant flash of light, and a searing hot wind that whips across the ship. The...

Fireball Adjudication [OOC] Because Fireballs can be tricky, I want to make sure I'm getting your intentions correct before I continue. I've added an extra diagram to the maps above showing one possibility for the spell. This possible blast radius would catch the female leader, one of the...

Laucian Wildwood Here's the first draft of my character. I plan to add more detail to his background as things develop. Name: Laucian Wildwood Class: Druid Race: Wood Elf Size: Medium Gender: Male Alignment: Chaotic Good Str: 13 +1 (3p.) Level: 1 XP: 0 Dex: 16 +3 (6p.) BAB: +0...

The tension rises! The air crackles around Karthak as he begins to intone an arcane formula. The angry, eyepatch-wearing woman shouts, but the spell is finished before her men have a chance to react--tiny electrical sparks dance away from Karthak and strike each of the explorers, causing their...

Whoops! Sorry about that ability score thing--I misread my monster manual. I'll fix it right away. As for the skill bonuses...those aren't racial, they're from the druid class ability Nature Sense. Sorry about the confusion--I should have made that more clear.

I'd say you're more than welcome to read the IC thread. That would actually be a good thing--you'll be up to date on the story should we need to bring you in. I want to thank the alternate players for the effort you guys have put into your concepts. Just so you know, I do plan on using...

Actually, that works really well (since it allows me to tie a couple of other subplots neatly together), so we'll go with that. I wanted to let all the players know that so far, everything seems to be going quite well with the game. But, of course, I'm not all-knowing and all-seeing, so if...
