Other deities... the first thing to note is that as far as Astresians are concerned the answer is 'none'. Astres is the only true god. Since the Astresians are pretty dominant, that means there are no other major religions on Valis. Nothing much above the level of a cult, except for paganism...

Great, sounds a lot of fun to me. Should be a nice antidote to stuffy Astresians and humorless square-jawed warrior types. ;) Complete Scoundrel material should be fine.

Ysande freezes for a moment, biting her lip. Her mind is racing, automatically putting together a hasty plan for the best way to squirm out of the situation. With a deep breath, she puts all that aside. With her allies standing around in plain view and already preparing for a fight, there's...

Glad that the world seems interesting to you. :) I'm definitely open to the idea of fey heritage. Fey on Valis fill pretty much their normal niche of elusive forest dwellers, though since the Astresian expansion they are perhaps even more elusive than normal (being naturally vary wary of an...

Kae sits tight for the timebeing. Things seem to be coming along nicely - now if only Sedar can get out of there, he might be able to draw away the necromancer and Manticore as well.

Magic of Incarnum is fine, yes. In fact orders of Incarnates and Soulborn have long had a presence within the Astresian church and military respectively. Most people have heard of incarnum, but only in the same way that most people in our world have heard of subatomic particles or somesuch. It's...

Cool, I'm glad to see some promising inital interest. :D Zurai: Looking good. I think the next step is to think a little about his background. How much contact has he had with his elemental heritage? The Sanction has tended to polarise the genasi. Some have been drawn closer in to their...

Rambling Introductory Thoughts This is an idea I've been mulling over for some time, and I've decided I'll put it up here and see how much interest it receives. I've loved the Book of Nine Swords ever since I first flicked through it, and have wanted to run a game revolving around the sort...

Ghaunder lets his shot fly as he sees the airborne figure. He's aware even as he does it that he's no marksman, and he's not likely to hit such a mark. Still, it's what's available. He reloads automatically, keeping an eye trained on the target. "Watch for flyers!" he calls out for the benefit...

Ysande nods. "Well, if there's only two guards on that door... I say we take them out. We can get the uniforms accurate that way, and in any case our story won't hold any water at all this high up. The fight will need to be fast and silent. Can we manage that?" She looks between the others...

Kae grimaces. From where she's standing, this isn't looking too pretty, and she isn't feeling much inclination to go rushing into the midst of it. In fact, if Sedar can manage to get the truck off the ground, he might provide quite a nice diversion. "Stay put," she tells Zook and Rethlin in...

I'm a little confused, us folks in the tower seem to have been written out completely of the last couple of rounds. Can we hear anything of what's going on, or see it out of the crossbow slits?

FYI the older man would be Fen, my character, not Rexy (who asked the question). Rexy is a young girl. ;) As soon as it becomes apparent that the hiding girl was not a danger, Fen's attention had been less on her and more on her murdered friend. He narrows his eyes, chewing away on his...

OOC: Initiative 1d20+3 = 23

"Right," Ysande agrees with a nod. "So I'd suggest that you and Kaj scout ahead and see if you can get a good look at any uniforms or insignia."

Kae shrugs. "Let's give it a shot, I guess. Just hope that they don't decide to stay where they are and shoot us, or call their friends."

Ershe says nothing, his expression one of sad acceptance. Washi's words are barbed, but they do not penetrate him and he feels no need to respond. He is sure in the knowledge that he has not betrayed his people. It is a sad fact that Washi is obviously equally sure of the same thing for...

Jina tenses up a little, feeling a little thrill run down her spine as the secret passage is revealed. She draws her swords, invoking the power of her new scabbard, and stands ready to follow on behind the others once they move off. Using the scabbard's Keen Edge power. 2/3 uses remaining today.

OOC: Spot 1d20-1 = 11 "Interesting. Indeed." Kae grimaces. "Do you suppose they've seen us yet?"

Fen, still looking an unhealthy shade of greenish white, tears his gaze away from the hideous scene to peer suddenly into the shadows. "Shhhh," he hisses urgently. "Noise again. Not rats." He quickly nocks an arrow to his bow. "Be ready fer a fight. Could be we've cornered us a killer."
