New Heroes Arise IC

"...an ancient evil known as Belzebub..."

IC: Haldamir was satisfied with William's answer but worried about what it might portend. Belzebub, have I ever heard that name before? he wondered.

(OOC: I've read about the arch-devil in the BVD, but I'm not sure if my monk would know anything about him. Would Belzebub be considered common knowledge like the other two deities or would it require a knowledge check?)

IC: Regardless of whether he knows anything or not, Haldamir remains silent for the time being.

OOG: I'ld allow a knowledge check to anyone who has ranks in both Knowledge(History) and knowlege(Religion), but none of you do.

IG: You all think for a moment and realize that none of you have ever heard about Belzebub before (The other gods are, of course, common knowledge).

William looks at Deirdre for a moment "While that WOULD be quite useful, I unfortunately do not have anything that could let us stay in Constant contact. I do, however, have a spell that I could use to speak to you for a few moments each day.

OOG: I'ld allow a knowledge check to anyone who has ranks in both Knowledge(History) and knowlege(Religion), but none of you do.

OOC: This would be why im taking that history book with me.

IC: Jeremy will decide to wait until everyone is ready to go to get going. While he is waiting he will open the book and begin to read.

OOC: if you just want to note anything that may be of help later on down the road, or just like gimme skills in knowledge (history), or quick little paragraphs here and there, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Really the whole point in asking to borrow this book was to get a knowledge of a little deeper history.

Hoegor walks over to the chest and kneels before it for a minute. Hoegor is filled with a sence of foreboding. He remembers his uncle's words; "Never let your fears rule you. But never ignore them." Hoegor shakes his head. With a small gesture and a few inaudable words, he reaches in and pulls out a Flask of Acid, Alchemist's Fire and a Reduce Potion.

Turning back to the others he says, "So, it looks like we are all in, for better or worse." There is a smile on his face.

Dana smiles while looking at the others one by one with her silvercolored eyes. "Well, it seems like we're all in. Since we'll be spending quite some time together, I think it's about time we get properly introduced to one another. We might work better together if we all know who everyone is, what everyone is good at and why everyone is in on this assignment."

Deirdre takes a couple of seconds to breath before continuing: "I guess I'll start. I'm Deirdre Silvereyes, daughter to Bevier Silvereyes. He took the name because his eyes had the same color as mine and it just naturally passed on to me. I'm a paladin in the services of Heironeous. I finished my training not too long ago and since have been looking to put my aids to use. When I learned about the orc raids this town frequently had to suffer, I decided to stay here for a while, helping the town guards fighting against the orcs.

Recently, the storm has been intriguing me a lot, but I had no idea what's been causing it or how to fight it. When Sir William called me in, I was rather hoping he had some way to deal with this, and it seems I was right about that. My reasons for joining as a paladin should be obvious, I want that storm gone."

With that, Deirdre ends her words and looks at the others, wondering if anyone else would introduce him or herself.

(OOC: During the last 20 days, my character would've done a detect evil while looking at the storm on at least one occasion. Did that provide me with any info?)

 

[doghead]

"Hoegor. I'm a Barbarian. I came here because it was on the way to somewhere else. I just thought that the weather was always miserable here."

There is no longer any hint of the smile that had just recently played across his face.

 

[Guest 11456]

Jillian looks up at all the giant (by her perspective) people. "I am Jillian Tealeaf. I am an aquirer of fine objects."

 

[shaff]

A little annoyed that he has to interupt his reading to introduce himself Jeremy says, "I am Jeremiah Townsden, but everyone calls me Jeremy. I am a cleric of Pelor." Jeremy holds up his shield as the HUGE symbol on it wasnt obvious enough. "I suppose i was called here because I have defended this city along-side many of you. I have more than likely healed just as many of you. Same as the paladin, this storm has worried our temple for a while now, and I am glad Sir William has called me here to investigate."

With all that said Jeremy goes back to reading his history book.

Hearing the others tell there story Kordrim waited till they had finished and started his.

"I'm Kordrim, I was born in a small forest to the east. My mother the elven side of me is still there and my father was from this very town but he was killed in the orc wars. I stay in the town because most of the locals know me and I sort of got banished from my elven family home after I fried a few elders with my spells when I was learning my trade."

Shaff - It's a rather large text, with about 12 chapters, each of which would take at least a few straight hours of reading and thought to digest. There is, however, an index that could be useful if you're looking for anything specific.
