Throughout the recent days of travel the elf, Vellekhyr has been a study in contradictions. Though literally luminous and exquisitely fair, he seemed to slip in and out of view like a being made more of spirit than flesh. And even before being reduced to wearing a coarse and ill-fitting travel...

Should be amusing. I know how Vellekhyr will respond. But rathing than saying, it should be more fun to play out. Its an odd place to go, but I could see V. being more keen to take a stab at reworking some of Constance's finery than stabbing some animal for rough furs. Welcome! You may want...

Nope, Vellekhyr doesn't have armor either. I figure he has a blanket and rope from his traveling gear. Far from ideal, but better than naked. I could buy clothes in game with my 1 precious resource point. But I really don't want to buy anything until I have artha to back it up. I don't want to...

I tried 4E ... once. Thinking of it purely as a Descent-like tabletop strategy game, it seemed like fun. But as an RPG its an EPIC-fail.

Yeah, its a bit worrisome that enworld got repeatedly reported as an attack site. That makes me a bit reluctant to use anything that requires scripts, at least until the matter can be cleared up. that would presumably include the die-roller, although I've never used it so I can't be sure. Would...

Hopefully it won't be a problem. I imagine we'll all be counting on a fair amount of 'beginner's luck' early on. It's an opportunity to learn new skills. HandofMystra, Is there anything in particular you're stuck on? Is there anything you'd like to see incorporated into the game that no one's...

Sounds workable. Personally I liked the idea of Aurvang (cool name btw) swearing a now regretted drunken oath to help Constance, a bit more. But again, the axe definitely has possibilities. I could see Vellekhyr stealing the weapon stealthily, delivering it to one of Aurvang's rivals, then...

Vellekhyr Ariondánthe Lifepaths: Born Etharch, lead to wilderness, Forrester, lead to protector, Ranger Age: 162 Stats: Wil: B6, Per: B5, Pow: B2, For: B5, Agl: B6, Spd: B5 Attributes: Ref: B5, Steel: B6, Health: B6, MW: B9 Circles: B2, Resources: B1 Beliefs: I am the doom of my...

My original idea (though I'm not married to it) was that House Tleil'laxu is human, but due to intermarriage with selkies many many generations ago, some of them have a special trait. That trait allows them to skin other humans and wear the skin as a magical disguise. Now the head of House...

Cool, I'll make a final proposal while we are at the Keep. Right now I'm leaning toward something along the lines of "the keep is a focal point for an inevitable conflict that may engulf the entire continent. There is a path that will provide the influence to mitigate the disaster. That path...

I assumed Hand of Mystra's character would handle most of the hand to hand. My default isn't completely awful in a pinch. The great thing about Lyric of Healing is that it works differently than and synergistically with normal healing skills. The not so great thing is that it doesn't count as...

Here's my first stab at Vellekhyr. Vellekhyr Ariondánthe Lifepaths: Born Etharch, lead to wilderness, Forrester, lead to protector, Ranger Age: 162 Stats: Wil: B6, Per: B5, Pow: B2, For: B5, Agl: B6, Spd: B5 Attributes: Ref: B5, Steel: B6, Health: B6, MW: B9 Circles: B2, Resources: B1...

Sounds great. Vellekhyr is staying close to Ferrantos in hopes that the latter will eventually be able to help the former escape his fate (of seeing Vyalia/Álfheim burn). But Vellekhyr hasn't mentioned his desire for help, planning to wait a decade or so. He might also have some notion of...

You missed my character, the elven ranger. Mathalus, would it work for you if our characters got to know each other just outside of Vyalia/Álfheim? My char would have exiled himself well over a century before the start of the game. Hmm, if its cool with you, perhaps I could have known your...

A 'houses in conflict' sub-theme would be made of awesome. And the intrigue could create some interesting possibilities for the thief-pardoner. Perhaps House Karameikos could have a few lesser houses (of varying loyalty) sworn to it, while the Traladaran houses could be independent of each other...

I only chose Vyalia it was the cooler sounding of the two names of elven clans mentioned on the Mystara wiki. I was way into the Norse mythos as a kid, so Alfheim is awesome. I hope its OK if I take a while to let Vellekyr's beliefs percolate. It would be nice to get a better feeling for the...

The Born Etharch, Soldier-Protector, Sword Singer lifepath is intriguing but I'm leaning a bit more toward Born Etharch, Forrester (wilderness), Ranger (protector). Born under a prophecy that he (she?) would see Vyalia in flames, Vellekhyr has forgone his noble birthright to wander in...

Ooh! I've been wanting to play some Burning X. The system seems very cool, and should lend itself well to PbP. And dipping a toe in with with Burning THAC0 is probably the best way to go. How much experience you have with Burning Wheel, Burning Empires, and/or Mouse Guard. I read BE and BW a...

Heh, its magical physics. The circle of lightning only conducts inward :blush:. Anyway, leather over the grip of medieval would presumably offer some protection ... if you ignore the fact that wire was usually wrapped around the leather to help hold things in place.

I'm sorry sweetness. I don't have a way to heal you. But I can keep the pressure on. I would suggest waiting a moment if you were planning on running up and hitting him though. Focusing her mind, Haereka erects a persistent wall of bright blue electricity, arcing in a circle around Makuna...
