[GC] A Game of Children IC (introduction)

[Sixchan]

"My mum was a Cleric of Gond, that's how she knew so much stuff about him. She could use magic to heal people, but she could make bottles of healing stuff too. But she liked inventing, and so did my dad. They told me that a tenday after I was born, they got as much smokepowder as they could and had something called a 'fireworks display'! They said it was like lots of explosions and bright lights in the sky that make it look like its day for a few seconds. And lots of lovely colours too! I want to have one when I'm older, and I'll invite everyone in the land to see it! My mum said you can use Smokepowder for weapons too, and that I wasn't to use it until I was much older in case I hurt someone. But I'm gonna get some, and get the person who did this!" Aska looked pretty angry at the thought of someone doing this.

 

[GWolf]

SmokePowder Weapons.

"Ahh Smokepowder I remember reading lots about it. If i need to fight people I'm going to find a way to use smokepowder/blackpowder/gunpowder, and make it into a deadly weapon." Fritz says grinning at the thought.

Aska smiled back and went on, "My mum once said that the Gnomes in Lantan had smokepowder gonnes that were like much more powerful catapults. If we could get a gonne, we could get whoever it was!"

 

[GWolf]

Something he told me

"Ah I remember my father talking about these guns once. They used smoke powder to shoot a hard metal object a enemy, the only probelm was once you fired a shot, it took awhile to fire another. I would find a way to make it work better. Wait I WILL find away. I'd just need to meet these gnomes, alot of books, and alot of time which I think and hope I have alot of."

Wolfgang, lifted the rubble from his face and hearing the others discussing meeting at the temple he yelled, ''I'll be there'' as he pulled a lether jacket from a friends body and said ''I'll wear this to remember you pal.''

Then Wolfgang ran for his home. Much destruction and many bodies littered the path. When he arrived at his house he found it in complete shambles. Though the rubble looked like someone had been there before him. He found Hans, his mother and father all huddled together in what used to be the living room, but his sister was nowhere to be found. He piled wood on the bodies and applied oil then set the bodies alight as is the custom in his religion's (sorry I don't have FRCS but I'm thinking a loki type god, if you're willing it could even be loki you can get the norse gods for free from www.bastionpress.com). custom.

Wolfgang then stumbled to the temple of Illmater. He walked in and fell into a ball on the floor inside the doors. Tears streaking down his face. A combination of loss of blood from the gaping wound covering his right cheek and nose, hunger and shock at loosing those that he loved.

In a moaning, cryfilled howl he yells out, ''Ericka where are you, I will find you my sister. I will find you and I will raise you. With every ounce of my soul I pledge this to the gods above.''

Wolfgang then passes out.

 

[Sixchan]

(OOC: I think at this early stage, guns would still be called gonnes. The name didn't change to gun until much later, IIRC)

Aska adopted an ever so slightly slightly scornful tone. "Smokepowder was a gift from Gond to the people of Lantan. It'll be hard to get them to show you how they make it unless you're in the favour of Gond!" She stared at Fritz for some time. In an easier tone, she continued."But you want to invent, and Gond says that's what people should do. Maybe they'll let you in." Aska smiled again, "I like you, Fritz!"

 

[GWolf]

Well Gee!

(yes GUN was my bad even thought I claim to know about early guns, I thought gonne was a childs way of saying it )

"Well thanks Aska. I think Gond sounds like a great god. you should teach more of him to me! And even if the gnomes wouldn't help me I'd learn on my own. Hey do you think the others are ok?" Fritz says smiling.

 

[Sixchan]

"I hope they're OK Fri..." She stopped as she saw someone approach.
As the boy ran past her into the temple, a trail of blood left in his wake, Aska sprang up and entered the temple after him. Seeing him crouched in a ball on the floor, blood pouring from a gaping wound in the side of his face, she ran over taking out her medicines, and knelt beside him.
"Here, I can try to help you."
She began preparing another bandage.

(Heal check?)

 

[Drawmack]

Wolfgang opens his eyes but they just roll around unable to focus on anything and after just a brief moment unconsiousness overtakes him again.

 

[Sixchan]

Aska worked as fast as she could, wrapping bandages with various medicinal concoctions on them around the new child's face, taking care not to blind or suffocate him with the bandages. Eventually, the bleeding stopped, but Aska had no idea how to bring him back to conciousness again.
