The Four Lands - The Great North Part 2

[J. Alexander]

Character

Scotley will indeed be joining us he is just running behind.......

I will email draco and canan to see if they are willing........

"I disagree with Finian's reasons, but perhaps his solution is the best: keep the book far from the south until we can figure out a way to neutralize it. If we cannot neutralize it then at least we can do everything in our power to keep it away from where it will do the most harm."

Vadric nods as he considers his companion's words, and runs a hand through the tangle of chestnut hued curls atop his head. The knight-priest's hair was beginning to get long; of course, there was small chance of finding a barber out here. He may have to use his dagger, and cut it himself. Shaking his head to clear such thoughts, Elareon came back to the matter at hand.

"While your concerns are certainly worth noting, I worry about the prolonged effects of the book upon us and our companions. I do not believe all of us have the willpower and faith to avoid falling to its influence, should we find ourselves exposed overlong."

Leif, OOC:

Man, here come another huge conflict. That half-orc better be able to do some 'splainin', or he is going to end up with Warsong in his gullet.

Hehehe, point well-taken, Sir! I had just come to basically the same conclusion on my own. Guess that may leave me playing a vanilla Human Fighter. Maybe a ranger?

Leif, I welcome another player, but pay attention to JA's warnings. This game world is not tolerant.
We had a ranger before (Bertrand) but have not heard from him since the re-start. Do you have a list of the current characters? This is the link to the gallery: EN World D&D / RPG News - Powered by vBulletin
You can also check the wiki, but the character info is not all there.

Yes, Rath, I know JA's style very well. But thanks for the warning -- it cannot be said too often! And I think you will find that I already have characters in the RG for the Four Lands. (Well, maybe just one now... not sure)

Hmmm, if Bertand is still gone, then maybe a Ranger is just what you guys need?

Jaroth

The Elder Druid looks in the direction of the withdrawing forces, having attempted to scry their intentions and being treated with a painful headache for the effort, he merely watches them recede.

What was that group's purpose? What happened within the tent to him and his friends? Was it the book's influence or an outside force that was toying with them? He needed answers, answers that he was having no luck finding elsewhere.

Then an idea occurred to him. If it is his duty to try to turn the tainted spirit within the book, if the book's highest interest is self-survival, if the taint and be removed or limited and its continued existence poses a risk to others, his task is clear.

He looks around to see what the others are doing. Satisfying himself that they are otherwise occupied, he slips into the tent, finding a private area. He fortifies himself with his protective magicks and reaches into the satchel, pulling out the book that contains the tainted spirit. He reaches out to the spirit within the book, to communicate with it....


OOC: I'm baaaa-aaaack!

 

[Leif]

Another OOC question:

How are you gents fixed for rogues, btw? My thoughts are turning mostly to Rangers now, but perhaps a small slice of rogue would be in order, too?

 

[J. Alexander]

The Great North

OCC: Welcome Back Jaroth ...wanna try and summon something......been way to long you know

Lost in his thoughts, Jaroth is convinced that it is a combination of all of them yet none of them specifically. The auras are murkey and unclear at best leaving much chance.....

For Jaroth
[sblock]jaroth gets the feeling that what happens here will determine the pattern of events for years to come..that time and meaning have come to a crossroads to set the course for the next millenuim but instead of having only two choices there are at least 6 that he can halfway discern[/sblock]

Whoo Hoo! Caanan is back!

Leif - it occurs to me (belatedly) that you probably know JA and his games better than I do! I'm sure that whatever you choose will work out fine. I imagine a ranger from the northern tribes would be easy to explain, but JA promises that Scotley will return soon and his character is a ranger/rogue. :-(

 

[Rath Lorien]

"Then, Vadric, my friend, we had best get busy. If your prediction is correct then we don't have much time. I only wish I had a more specific suggestion of what we should do."

OOC: Honestly, I don't think any mortal can fathom the inner workings of JA's ponderous brain! But, thanks for pointing out Scotley's chosen career path. I don't know, then, would another plain old fighter be of use to the party? Or, perhaps Scotley wouldn't mind having another Ranger around?

A quick look at the Rogue's Gallery Gallery of Heroes indicates the following:

-Original Group-
Anniston Van Aalorn, Paladin 12
Jaroth Urkas, Sorcerer 7 / Eldritch Druid 5
Vadric Elareon, Cleric 12
Finian Douglas, Bard 8 / Swashbuckler 3 / Lyric Thaumaturge 1
Bertrand Brookmead, Ranger 8 / Rogue 4

-Late Comers-
(Ethandrew's PC) 10th level Sorcerer ?
Vorian Tolgar, Cleric 3 / Fighter 4 / Tolgarien knight 3

Also, I believe JA has been starting the newcomers a couple levels behind the rest of us, but he'd have to verify that.

I'm fairly certain that Ethandrew is gone, and I'm not sure about Dracomeander and his PC Finian...with that said, we are a fairly balanced group, so you can probably get away with playing just about anything.
