While writing, thoughts are in italics, actions are in *asterisks,* and speech is in "quotes." Colors for such things are optional, but if used must be light enough for me to see (and not bright enough to cause me to burn out my retinas). I will also employ the use of spoiler tags, like this (highlight the following text),
. I'll use this to use certain languages (putting a tag that only those that know certain languages can highlight it) or to put up information only certain PC should know (at that point in time, when the PC tells everyone, then they can highlight the text if the PC says that's ok).
I will do all the die rolling. If you have any special circumstantial modifiers to add to your checks, AC, saves, attacks or what have you, just make a note of it at the bottom of your post.
Questions or other out of character items go at the end of the post like so:
[OOC: I'm casting charm, which should give me a +35 on my Diplomacy check I want to make to calm the chorrim down.]
I'd also like everyone to put their character name, race, and class(es) in the title of their posts so everyone remember who everyone is. Turning off your sigs would be nice too. I don't mind people going back and editing, as long as it's for something like correcting a misspelling, correcting an action you know to be blatently wrong (you targeted a person you didn't realize was already down), or there's be a large miscommunication or misunderstanding between the DM and a player in regards to interaction. (So if I write something way too confusing, I'm not going to yell at you for correcting an action that I may have missinterpreted.)
And now, on to the story:
~~~~~~~~~~
Navael is a city known as an artist's haven. Inhabited primarily by faen, the city is, in places, done to a minature scale. Buildings are both pleasing to the eye and well as to the touch (in their interesting textures) and the ear (from the way wind blow through them to windchimes and bells). Plants grow in great profusion, not just from parks but in oversized windowboxes and rooftops gardens. Open gallerys can be found all over the city, displaying paintings and sculptures. Fantastic gardens are found all over, in addition to hothouses for more exotic plants. Theaters and dance halls play at all hours of the day.
It is in this place where one may find any teacher in any artist's craft. Some crafts are even more fantastic than usual, including the craft of magic, witchery, runes, and memory. The magical "performances" and "gallerys" are well regarded, and attended by many seeking inspiration for their next piece.
A great many festivals of the arts are held here, and the next one coming up is the fourth week of Seventhmonth, only a week away. It's called Sky's Favor, and is a highly competitive contest of all types of arts, all according to a theme chosen by Ui-Narath, the Steward. This year's theme is Earth and Fire's Passion, one that should have promised a great deal of creativity from the city's artists. The prizes in this contest are substantial, including the use of one of the best gallery in the city for a year, several uses of the largest amphitheaters, large amounts of gold, and the incredible prestige of winning.
However, the usual buzz for this kind of festival has been subdued as of late. Several of the greatest artists of the city have only been seen infrequently, and there's not even been a tiny hint as to what they're working on. As most of them can't resist bragging, this development is disturbing to say the least. Some rumors even claim that many of them aren't even going to participate this year, surely preposterous, but alarming all the same.
What concerns many of the weather witches however, are disturbing dreams of a terrible storm hitting the city during the festival. Wind, sea, and winter witches have been having bad dreams for weeks, as has anyone who is strongly connected to wind, sea, or weather. Such things taken all together seem to point toward something terrible happening on the day of the festival.
Eryic, you have been having the bad dreams. They're terribly unspecific, only visions of a terrible storm of thunder, lightning, even a tornado seeming to barrel down on the town during the festival. But as to when, or why it's happening, you're uncertain. Your only clue is that they've been getting worse as time goes on.
It is now early on Dawnday, the first day of the third week of Seventhmonth. Where are you and what are you doing now? You've all been here for at least a week, some longer. Why are you here?
