Message: <blockquote data-quote="sleepystyle" data-source="post: 2250689" data-attributes="member: 16924">Mega>Just working up my background and tying it into the 1st post.  I hadn't worked the bit about the letter out until I started to write the post.  I intentionally left a vague reference at the end of my bg and once I had a chance to think it over, the 1st post and its letter was what I came up with. FROM BG:In his final year at the University, he is undertaking a field internship as his final project before graduation. The goal, his advising professor has just informed him, will be the recovery of a legendary ring from the continent of Xen'drik. Given his family connections though and the unusual destination, it is nearly certain that he will be asked to discretely transport something either to or from ...It certainly wasn't intended to gain any special knowledge or anything.  Just an explanation for why he bought some martial equipment that he wouldn't have needed otherwise.  The gist of the letter was meant to be a notification that his family/house had need of him and had used their influence to have him selected as part of an upcoming expedition where he would be required to act as escort.  He would be running the final leg of a contract to  smuggle a noble with rivals attempting to assassinate him/her from Thrane to the estate of a distant relative at the Port in Xend'rik.  Age gender and most details about the noble were left vague (though I was imagining a child) so that you could either use that as a story element or not.  Either way the noble being smuggled would only be with us until landing and may quietly remain in the background, with assassins having already been shaken or recalled if you aren't interested in that angle.I had planned on sending you a message or posting here about the details but the cable lines at my apt are jacked up and I keep losing net connection.  It's been out since friday afteroon after I made the post.  It may work later today, or it may be out till I get the cable company to work some magic.  Until then-cheers for the chaos effect getting off to a nicely paced start.-d</blockquote>
