Marissa Quinn, Human Commoner
The door to the inn suddenly bursts open. A fair-haired woman in her early thirties thumps into the room, slender hands that have seen their fair share of calluses and oven burns blocking her face. While she may have once been beautiful, the hard life she has lived (evident from the patches on her simple dress, and the broken nature of the shoes she has slipped on her feet) has washed all but a few traces of that beauty away. The smudges on her face have been smeared and streaked by a recent bout of crying.
She runs straight to Joe, who seems surprised to see her. "Marissa...? What are you doing here?"
"It's Tomas, Joe! He didn't come home last night, and I can't find him!"
"now, calm down... that boy is a bunch of trouble. I'm sure he's just being careless."
She bawls loudly, and buries her face in Joe's chest. The bartender stares into nothingness, embarrassed. "That's just it! he's never done this before! And I haven't been able to find his friend, Hukk, either! I just know something's wrong! I know it!"
"Now, Mar..."
"Please, Joe, I know you can do something. Please?"
[sblock=Adventure Notes]
This is an adventure hook (obviously). It's going to run for at least three months, if not longer - my last adventure was supposed to last "two weeks" and wound up lasting two months, so don't quote me on time limits.
In any case, it's designed for five characters, and that's all I'll be taking. 1st level characters are accepted, although I want higher (2nd or 3rd) level characters as well. Really, I'd like the group to look something like this:
One first level character with no experience points (with preference going to people new to the boards)
One or two first level characters with at least 500 XP
The rest of the group being 2nd or 3rd level, with the expectation that they take the brunt of some of the encounters.
In addition, I want at least of the characters to be from my previous PbP, Blacklily Violence. However, that is not really a requirement (just a personal preference, really).
Before you try to sign up, I'd like to say that this is going to have it's tough parts, and I'm not going to pull punches. I post every other day or so, though I'll be checking the board daily, I think. I want players to post at least two or three times a week.
Urban characters will come in handy, especially bards and rogues, although all character classes should have somethign to do.
Finally, if I don't throw you on the roster, don't take it personally - there's a lot of people in the RDI right now, and I can't take everyone. [/sblock]
