The Reconquista OOC

[Branding Opportunity]

Greetings everyone,

I'm in the process of writing the first IC post (it hasn't been posted as of right now), but I wanted to talk about a few things first.

To begin with, I want to thank everyone for giving the whole Adventure Synopses idea not just the Old College Try, but wholeheartedly embracing it. By throwing yourself into the character development the way you did, you really have brought the PCs to life for me. I think all the "work" you did in this thread will serve us all well in the IC game.

Having said that, I think it's probably a good idea if we focus on the main plotline of the IC game, which will be trying to figure out what the heck is wrong in Istivin. I have a feeling that in a PbP game, you spend so much time working through just the main plot points, that you rarely get the chance to deal with side stories. I will attempt to keep on introducing plot elements tailored towards individual characters, just to keep things interesting, but they'll probably be more for flavor.

Ooh... anticip... ation!

Um, I am the unstealthy, by the by. I am not even approaching stealthy. I make Mavic's watch me come you bastards approach look stealthy.

-6 ACP in full plate. Stealth? I hope someone cast silence on my armor.

There's a nifty new spell in CAdv - "Iron Silence". Bard 2/Cleric 2, removes ACP for Hide and Move Silently on one suit of armor/3 levels, duration 1 hr/level. Mavic's cohort is one level off being able to handle all three suits of plate armor

I've posted the first introductory IC post HERE!

Individual posts concerning background and possible side-quests will soon follow.

Eventually, I plan to update the background in my character sheet with the bits from the synopsis, which would feature Latalya and maybe a few other bits and pieces, that come to mind (like how she aquired her sword; some kind of reward most probably).

Bye

Yeah, I think I probably need to revise Mavic a little so that any of the Sterich Police can readily profile him in case he goes off the deep end and the vague little tidbits that have been concluded from the synopsis'.

I'm trying to decide whether or not Istivin would trouble Mavic enough that he'd just consider it as a continuation of the war, or if he'd just feel lost and small without someone to fight and people thanking him for being a vicious so and so. Oh John Rambo, where are you now that I need to channel you?

I thought we were waiting for individual intros before we began posting in the IC? Am I two posts behind and ticking people off, as usual?

Hmm...

Individual posts concerning background and possible side-quests will soon follow.

If that (see above post) was what you meant, then just edit the individual introductions into the first post and we can likewise edit our posts to accomodate.

I was thinking that everyone could post a little bit about their time in Fitela, or perhaps what they had been up to until then. Once everyone has done that (although that's not mandatory of course) we can continue in the "present" which is in Istivin Crossing.

The individual posts I mention above will be more about other things which you might do in Istivin.

BO: [SBLOCK]Why only am I having this feeling, that our "not-remembering" of the capital was not just that, but rather have magical roots and is somehow connected with the visit of the Drow parlay group in that recent backround synopsis...

Also, was there actual memory loss, like "Istivin, what was that again?" or was it more akin to "Oh, right, Istivin, I havn't been there for a long while." ?

Was it just us six (or seven with cohort), or do other people also have not thought about it, from what we heard?

Maybe I'm just paranoid... [/SBLOCK]

Bye
Thanee
