Mega-Adventure Prologue--The Council and the Fellowship

[Velmont]

OOC: With RA input, I'll remake the group later tonight or tommorrow moring. If you have any wish, tell it now. And don't hesitate. It's sure you won't have what you don't ask, and I know it's fun to continue to adventure with people you already have, but I 'm not familiar with everyone. So, I'll form group of 6. Elektra and Nurlan will not count in that limit as they are representatives, so it will leave a bit more places for others.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: I know Patlin hasn't been on as much, so I'll point out that Ironwolf has adventured with three of the Terran Shard characters recently (Eternity, Michael, Hulgyr). I don't know if he'd like to stay in the group with people he knows. I think he went on an adventure long ago with Vanitri too)

 

[Bison]

Better to travel with a friend then a stranger!
I will be your axe Quozan!
and I think you will find that Droogle would be your shield.

aye Cousin ... I would go with this group .. besides, I need to keep an eye on you.

 

[Dargon]

"I think it is very likely that the cult has people in positions of power so that they may spy on events such as this."

"So do I but what is the chance of on of them ending up at a council concerning their matters if it wasn’t known beforehand what this is about. Beside a spy that reveal himself is not a very good spy. "

And perhaps you weren't listening when he said that he was going to try to actively stop us. That most definitely makes him an enemy.

"Perhaps I weren’t listening do to my little encounter with him, perhaps we put different meaning in to his words, perhaps you were blinded by his unreasonable dislike for half breads."

"You might be right, bad luck might have placed one of them at the council, but I think it is far more likely that he believe what he says, I heard people agreeing with his reasons more or less."

"but as for warnings we should be awere of posible spies everywere. Even in the acadamy. Not just in Riverblight"

OoC: Nura has pleanty of langueges she hasn't used and that there were no special reasons to pick in the first place. If no one can be found with the right languege skills and if it is a must I can chance it if the judges alows it.
As said before adventuring with people she know is prefered but she will go were most needed.
Nura might be evil but she still does belive she do everything from the good of her hart

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: It isn't a must, per se, and I definitely do not want someone changing a language to Aquan due to meta-game knowledge that they need Aquan)

 

[Voda Vosa]

The Undine shard group should be formed by Dorrin, Jallembo, Khairi, Krindorf, Lokin, Nura, Tumna and Valan

"Aye! Ah' Like the sound 'f tha'!" Krindorf says

 

[ajanders]

Michael accepts Rinaldo's assignment, fingering a red-gold stone into smoothness as he does.

 

[Someone]

"We have yet no clue, or too little to put effort in that direction. But I think we will have the chance to gather some information on them on these mission. I doubt they will leave us pick freely the shards. They will probably try to stop some of us. So keep in mind that if you fall in front one of them."

"Glad you happen to agree with me. On one hand we have the traps and wards left by the mighty wizards and legendary lich dragons of old, on the other some actual living beings that are presumably human. What we're doing is the equivalent of the man who looked for his keys outside, despite having lost them inside, just because outside there was more light and could search better. Also it'd be a shame if we get out from wherever are the shards hidden only to fall to a welcome party of cultists - it's perfectly possible that we could be doing exactly what 'they' want, if 'they' exist at all." Nodis makes exagerated quotation gestures when saying 'they'

 

[BigB]

Rinaldo looks at everyone. "Ok, I'll start by asking each of you, you name and a few more qeustions to evaluate your skills." Rinaldo starts to walk around, asking each one present what are there name and quickly asks there past experience. Behind him, Hogarth walks and write a few notes. For the few who see the notes, it seems the elven cleric write down his text with a dwarven alphabet, but teh words seems to make no senses to people who speak dwarven. Maybe a few person can decipher it as Terran.

Once Rinaldo have made the count, he take a looks at his notes:

OOC: I've put everyone who has post once, plus a few that had shown interest and I think they are there (or would be good for group balance). If a name should be added or remove, please, tell it.

"Ok, here my suggestion.

The Peregrin shard expedition should be formed by Vanitri, Tenebrynn, Ashnar, Elektra, Ironwolf, Hogarth and Rinlado. We are all veteran, we have seen our share of danger and most of us have already worked together in the past.

The Terran shard should be composed by Duncane, Eternity, Hulgyr, Opale and Zack.

The Tempest shard should be led by Almayce, Devlin, Micheal, Nodis, Nurlan and Tor. Nurlan, if you go with that group, I would like you to take the responsability to represent Orussus on that expedition. Is that fine with you?

The Sylvan shard group should be formed by Babette, Gur, Lucien, Richard, Rinya, Saithnar, Tablin and Ximix

The Undine shard group should be formed by Dorrin, Jallembo, Khairi, Krindorf, Lokin, Nura, Tumna and Valan

The Nocturne shard group should be formed by Droggle, Hasin, Jace, Jinx, Octavio, Quozen, Peladus,

That would leave Ashmodai, Gaius, Lord Baldrian and Maladar.

Don't be scared, with what is coming in front of us, there will be lots of thing to do and you won't stay here waiting for the others. I suppose there is some people late and some people might add themselves to the current group. Also, I made these group out of my judgement of what I know of you. You might have split friends. So if you would like to team up with someonelse, tell it now and we will see what we can do."

OOC: Ok, I have tried to split the above list in group of similar level. I also tried to keep as balanced as possible when I had choice, mianly in teh low level. For the four remaining, there si other adventure waiting. And for people not in the list, please, at least post an OOC post that you want Name(Class Lvl)[Player] to join up and we will see if they fit the best. I think at long as teh team are between 4 and 8 character, it should do a nice group, so you can see in that spirit, only the Nocturn shard group is complete.

Sounds good to Khairi...Finally time for action.

Heading for another quest
Ashmodai, Gaius, Jinx, Lord Baldrian, Lily, Maladar, Peladus[/SBLOCK]

OOC: I've remade the groups. Here some notes about each:

Peregrin: I've kept Ironwolf on that group for now. Two reason, first, he is lvl 9, so lvl wise, he should be in that group. Also, he will fill a hole in that group, as there is no good hand-to-hand figther. Also, we have a group of 6+1 representative, which is Elektra, Vanitri's cohort.

Terran: Here, Opale and the brother Grim have already made some adventure together. Eternity, Hulgyr, Micheal and Ironwolf also. But with Hulgyr, Ironwolf, and the brother Grimm, this group have more then then share of figthers, another reason to upgrade one of them to the Peregrin, and then, again, Ironwolf make the most sense. Also, we have a group of 6+1 representative.

If Patlin want to continue to adventure with Eternity, Hulgyr and Micheal he can go with them. After all, even if balance-wise, it might not be the best decision, LEW is a game and we are in for fun.

Tempest: Tablin and Gur have been promoted to that group to gives more support and also to have in mind the pattern 6+1. The representative, in that case, is Nurlan, a PC, as he has been named by Rinlado (himself being in the Peregrin group)

Sylvan: With Gur and Talbin in the Tempest group, we have 6 members. Adding an NPC representative, that will make 7.

Undine:There is 7 characters in that group, as I felt it was starting to be difficult to move too many people. only Khairi have been moved to Nocturna.

Nocturna: Jinx and Peladus are going on another quest. Khairi will be match again with Octavio. This group might be a bit more heavyly figther oriented, but Droggle, Hasin, Jace and Quozen wanted to be together, and Khairi and Octavio had good relation in the tournement adventure, so it made senses.

Other Quest:They are now 7, which make a group similar to the other group. Now they will need to know what task will be assigned to them.
