Velenne, I just wanted to say the way your play your character rocks. Norin's humility is truly puts the exalted in exalted deeds. Definitely enjoying reading your posts.

Rock on, dude.

 

[Velenne]

Wow! Thanks a ton, that means a lot to hear!

My favorite character has always been Carlos Munguia from Gangs of Texas. His spontaneous wit is sort of Peter Parker-like and something I always wished I had. He's a very hopeful and optimistic hero with a soft side and realistic weaknesses. If you want one of the best examples of what PbP has to offer in terms of roleplay, read GoT.

Ray, I've got a couple of questions about undead and the law.

1) Obviously, only crimes that carry the death penalty are going to be effected by the undead laws. Which crimes carry the death penalty in Andeluvay?

2) Is there a fixed sentence of undeath, or are the animated dead kept in service until they fall apart?

Sorry to get down into such details, but Nessa's answer depends on these. TIA.

Ok, the death penalty can occur for the following: murder, assassination, theft (only repeated petty theft, or theft of a particularly valuable or volitile thing, like important documents), betrayal of one's liege, treason to the crown, piracy, brigandtry (being a brigand or highwayman), rape, open worship of outlawed deities (usually only for repeat offenders), unlawful use of magic (cohersion by charm spells, unlawful necromancy, etc.) and arson being the most typical. It can vary from one lord's land to another, but the majority of these crimes have punishements determined by the king.

For the sentence of death, it usually goes like this. The person's typical lifespan is assessed, and their service only lasts as long as their "natural" life would, or twenty years, whichever is longer. After their service is up, the undead are destroyed and their bones burned to prevent them from being re-used by the unscrupulous. The undead are fitted with a magical collar which is linked to a person who controls a certain number of undead by the virtue of a linked magical item.

We got updates!

Ray, it was my intention to fast forward Norin into the next day. I was under the impression that he had been searching out the wayward and weary in the evening hours and brought in Brel that night. He let the boy sleep, does two hours of sleeping himself, and prays/chants/meditates until dawn.

Is this right?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Yup, pretty much, and I edited it to reflect that more accurately.

Where's Nessa at the moment? Last post I made had her heading back to her temple. I deliberately left it open so she could be where and when you needed her. If that's not a helpful approach on my part, I can be a bit more specific about what she's doing

Jarval:

*Nessa, back in the vaulted temple of the Spell Lord, with its smell of strange spices, dust, and vellum, you're met by one of the acolytes.*

"Counselor Caoilfhionn, the Spell Lord Tellaqu wishes to speak with you on the morrow at your convienence," he says carefully, obviously having rehersed that little speech several times to get it right.

It's in post number 37.
