Silverymoon Campaign - IC

Tsoren Gildersham - Human Rog1

Tsoren looks up, "You know .. perhaps there is something you can help us with Lady Alustriel. I figure that even if word does reach your enemies, it won't be specific enough about the bracers. With that in mind, could you send a few groups of 7 people with green bracers (just dye something) to Sundabar? Perhaps some of your soldiers, but not armed as such. Then we would be one of 4-5 groups of 7 - all wearing green bracers - traveling the road." He looks at Alustriel, "Does that sound feasible?"

After thinking for a few moments, Fizzlewikk writes up a list to give to Lady Alustriel. It reads:

Lady Alustriel, this is the equipment that I think our group shall need:

1 crowbar
2 Shovels
100 ft. of silk rope
7 Climbers kits
1 Healers kit
Cold weather outfits for everyone that doesn't already have one
1 Bolt cutter
1 hacksaw with a few superior blades
a few vials of stonebreaker acid
2 weeks rations for everyone
2 torches for everyone
7 collapsable grappling hooks

In addition, I'll personally be needing:
20 daggers
20 light hammers
a bedroll
winter blanket
50 ft. of silk rope
4 flasks
2 sacks
a master-crafted buckler
expert lock-picking tools


After finishing this list Fizzlewikk will show the list to everyone else. "Can anybody else think of anything else we'll be needing?"

Aram, half-elf monk

Tsoren turns to his companions, "Well, it seems obvious that we should travel the road, so that makes me think that we should take ANY OTHER way there to avoid others who would expect us to take the road. How about we skirt the mountains along their south edge, avoiding the enemies of Silverymoon that will surely be waiting to thwart our efforts."

"The obvious path might prove to be the most difficult one," Aram says with a thoughtful look. "We should avoid Sundabar. That's where the enemy thinks we will be traveling, one way or another. We should stay off roads and take the southern route. It would be wise. I like Tsoren's ideas, all of them."

Aram takes a look at Fizzi's list. "Add two tents."

Willow, female wood elf druid

“I prefer to travel light and only carry what is really needed, but I can see that we might need some equipment on this journey.”

So how do you want to proceed?

OOC: OK, how does everyone want to proceed at this point? It always proves difficult to get everyone to come to a consensus in a Play by Post game, so I may have to consider selecting a group leader to make these types of choices.

To recap, your choices at hand are: What direction do you head? Do you decide to go the 'Southern Route' as Tsoren mentions? And what is your cover story, Adventurers as Willow suggests? Fizzi covered the provisions, and I will comment on them in a bit, but if anyone wants something else, let me know.

I do owe you a map and I will make one up in a bit. Your path could take you through Sundabar either via the road or via the river. Or the Southern Route as Tsoren suggested, however, that route is not patrolled and mostly wilderness.

Alustriel nods, 'These items will be made avialable to you.'

The Old Man's Map

The Old Man makes some sketches on a map and hands it to you. "This is where you need to go. How you get there is your design."

OOC: This is a JPG representation of the CC2 Map. I will start providing the CC2 maps once everyone has this installed.

Seeing the old man return, Fizzi turns to him and speaks, "Old man, you had previously talked about the fall, and destruction of the Netherise. This isn't something that I mahself know about. Could you tell me about this, and perhaps it will provide some clues for us?"

The man speaks slowly, 'That is a long story of an age long past. But, I will give you the very short version. The Netherise were once the most powerful wizards on the face of Faerun. With powerful magic they created vast floating cities. The attracted many enemies, among them the phaerimm, but I will not speak of them in this story. The leader of the Netherise, Karsus, in his folly challenged the Goddess of Magic, Mystryl and in his power, defeated her, taking on her powers for a brief time. It was in this act that the Netheril were destroyed, for Karsus could not handle the power the Goddess and all magic on Faerun ceased. It was this magic that kept the floating cities aloft and when the magic ceased, so fell the cities of the Netheril, plummeting to the ground in the area surrounding the Anauroch, destroying most of them. Karsus fell to the earth, destroyed. Mystryl sacrificed herself in the struggle and was reborn as Mystra. this was in the Year of the Sundered Webs, -339DY. The DragonStone comes from that age."
