Into the New World - Recruitment OPEN (Current players stay OUT!)

I was kinda shocked too. Makes me want to re-work my background story, except........ I don't know what I can change to add to it.

I guess what I'm getting at is, is this how our society would work? Not just..."I need bread, let me take it. You need skins for a blanket? Okay take some."

Yes, that's the intent. The society is barter-based. You don't get something for nothing, although people aren't just going to let someone starve to death either (excepting exiles). The spirits tend to get upset when anything starves to death.

If someone is perceived to have no worthwhile skills, they'll have to work as a laborer for their food, or get family to provide for them. People tend to die a lot younger than the PHB maximum age, so the 'elderly' in Cuirlen aren't much of a problem. Life's pretty harsh in an isolated bronze age society. And that's before the neighbours get restless.

I hope the "short" story I'm writing will help. I should finish it today once I get home, and I'll post it. Of course if I'd been smart I would have put it on my USB drive and finished it here. :\

Times like this I wish I was psychic lol. Just read Zurai's mind and be like "crap, I didn't make it," or hopefully "Woot! I made it! I'm king of the world!"

 

[Zurai]

I havn't even decided how many people I'm taking, let alone who! Sheesh, some people...

 

[OnlytheStrong]

I didn't really figure you had a list in your head of who you were taking.. (pick me!) I don't want to try to convince you to take me (pick me). Just.......pick me! lol


I really don't envy you for having to choose who to pick. I like several of the concepts and alot of the backgrounds lol.

Yeah, but what if he changes his mind when you aren't looking?

By the way, in my story the exile is attacked by wild animals for no apparent reason and Enko perceives this as a trial from the spirits. Is that ok? Also, I kind of made Blackfrond a little overpowered in this, as it caused wounds to scar over in about a day. Maybe the healing effects are cumulative so that you heal faster the more regularly you drink it... If you can stomach the stuff!

That's fine. I'm giving you guys pretty free reign over your backstories.

It's possible that blackfrond tea works better when the one making it has the very literal blessing of the blackfrond Also, just because the wound scars over doesn't mean all the hp damage has been removed. Scars have a nasty tendency to re-open when struck or stretched.

Shorthand: That's fine too.

Ok, cool. Um, is it cool if the results of what happens in my story end up becoming in/famous within the world. I already thought it could be called the story of the forgiven, or the repentant exile, or something like that. A lesson about how it's practically impossible to be forgiven and therefor another warning against doing things that would get you exiled in the first place. Also, it'd be cool if the story made it's main characters a bit in/famous too.

I really of want to share the ending with you, but would you rather I wait until I post the rest of the story?

Jeez, at this rate Enko will be a minor legend before I even get to play him. If I don't get picked for this round I'm just going to have to reuse this character's background for the next one. Unless you make him an NPC, that's cool too I guess.

Also, can unprepared Blackfrond work like Kingsfoil to stop bleeding? Except it stings link hell for a bit.

As long as you don't go making yourself King of Cuirlen, I can probably handle it I can't give you a much better answer than that until I see the backstory.

It's up to you.

<rolls dice> Unprepared blackfrond fronds are mildly poisonous and hallucinogenic. They won't kill anyone, but they make your stomache feel funny and you see and hear things that aren't really there (or are they?).
