    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    Lacerdan Accroutrements for the Discerning Gentleman of Taste and Means Pets Pets are a persistent feature of Lacerdan culture, rather than a passing trend, and almost everyone of any means (from dockworkers and labourers to wealthy merchants and court officials) is accompanied by a small...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    Sul-Mahat looks pleased by your reluctant acceptance, and gleefully taps out a tune upon the grate above. Presently, someone above removes the cover and the two of you wrestle Wattock's unconscious form through the hatchway. You are in a stone-floored, low ceilinged room with no windows. You...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    "I've got to take Wattock 'ere to some o' my superiors. He'll know what to do with 'im. I don't want to have to kill this bloke. Sure he's an evil-minded, cruel-hearted bastard who never gave nothin' to nobody, but Im not sure he should die for it... 'Course, he'd 'ave killed both of us, had he...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    Sul-Mahat blinks, suddenly well out of his depth. "Look, I'm no historian or philosopher, I'm just a humble soldier of the revolution, a freedom fighter of the people! I leave the social and political ramifications of my actions to others more suited to the task!" You begin to wonder if this...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    "But anyway, back to the matter at hand. The boys from the brute squad we dealt with back there were right, I am involved with the revolution. The organisation I work for is dedicated to placing the true king on the Lacerdan throne, not this pompous, arrogant imposter, Darukin. No, my superiors...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    OOC: All in good time, all in good time ;) As Sul-Mahat guides the overladen rowboat down the subterranean canals, he begins to explain things to you. "Those two were no mere thieves. No, they were members of the Prince's secret police! They're called the Foxgloves, and they wear no uniform...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    "Ah, so I was right, ye are a clever one, by Bahamut! Help me with this body then, and I'll explain on the way." The two of you pick up Wattock's unconscious bulk, no mean feat, and Sul-Mahat leads you around the corner, to where the alley opens on to an even narrower back street, then opens a...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    Sul-Mahat casts an appraising glance over Corrin, a wry grin creeping on to his saurian face. "I can't figure out if ye're jestin' with me, but given your performance now, I'm inclined to give ye the benefit of the doubt." Sul-Mahat begins to gather up his possessions from the trash-strewn...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    OOC: Not sure how much more I'll be able to post today, but this will probably be the last one :[ I've had a great time though, so thanks a lot! I can resume tomorrow morning. Corrin succeeds in saving the life of the thug, and the man groans faintly but remains unconscious. "Ye're a good...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    A quick description of your newfound friend. The tiny kobold looks up at you through heavy-lidded eyes, clearly exhausted. He is breathing hard, and furtively looking up the alleyway in case anyone has seen the encounter. The entire affair took place in mere seconds, and it appears the mob out...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    OOC: Nice! Crits in 4E just deal max damage, so you get 11 damage. Corrin's blade sinks deep into the thug's stomach, and as he draws it out, a fine spray of blood is accompanied by a sickly glooping sound, and a length of Wattock's intestine spools out on the coblestones. He shrieks briefly...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    OOC: The attack misses. Wattock turns Corrin's blow aside and steadies himself, "Think ye're a bit of a lad, eh, runty? We'll soon see, won't we!" He strikes back with a clumsy swipe that clangs harmlessly off Corrin's shield. OOC: Attack roll 2 + 4 = 6 vs. AC 12 misses The kobold meanwhile...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    OOC: You can use a minor action, a move action and a standard action each round, in any order. You can choose to take a second move action in place of a standard action. Divine Challenge is a minor action, so you use that on Wattock first. Powers are all standard actions (there might be some...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    The kobold ducks under Bockum's out-stretched arm and comes up inside his guard, plunging his sword into Bockum's armpit and twisting the blade cruelly, illiciting a howl of pain from the brute. (OOC - The kobold attacks with his encounter power, Torturous Strike, and rolls a critical hit...

    (OOC - Okay, that makes sense, I guess you wouldn't really be walking around in the scorching heat in plate, would you? :p) The kobold sees you ready yourself for action, and is emboldened by having an ally! Facing off with the thug, Bockum, he feints with his dagger, luring the man forwards...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    The thug with the sword turns fully now, giving you his full attention. His face twists with effort as he tries to make sense of what Corrin is saying. He says to his companion: " 'Ere, Bockum, what's this lad saying'? 'E looks like a wee lad but the words comin' out of 'im is all grown-up...

    Arca Terra, Chapter One:

    Without turning to face Corrin, the thug holding the kobold up mutters in low, threatening tones: "Leave it, runt. No point you gettin' gutted over some worthless sand lizard, is there? You just turn around and forget you what you seen!" The kobold's eyes turn towards you and you see they are...
