[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3106327, member: 35788"] This is the OOC thread for the solo game: The Sudden Approach of Unexplainable Power. Unleashed, let me spin out a quick possibility for the opening scene: - - - - - - - - After being encouraged to go forth into the world by Aekalos' dragon father (for lack of a better name: Sappurapolician, but change it if you come up with a better one). The dragon father gave Aekalos only two directions. One: Explore the world to its fullest. Two: Come back safe to the clan. After a bit of time, Aekalos finds himself trading stories with a bunch of salty old sea dogs. Perhaps they're pirates, perhaps their just old men who've spent a life out at sea. Either way, they tell the story of how their captain has been caught by the innept captain of Earl Patron's guard. The captain of the guard is claiming that the captain of these sea dogs helped kidnap a local nobleman's daughter one night. They tell of how their captain was framed by a nearby orc tribe. Their story smells like there is more to it than they admit, but the sea dogs are willing to pay quite handsomely if anyone is willing to infiltrate the orc tribe and find any sign of the nobleman's daughter. In particular, the girl was known to always wear a simple locket with a dragon in flight carved in one side and a picture of the sun on the back. The locket opens up and has a message engraved around a black pearl. The sea dogs don't know what the message says. The salty men would go themselves, but they've gotta stay in town to make sure that if the trial (and likely execution) happens before Aekalos gets back they are there to fight for their poor, framed captain. :D - - - - - - - - Anyway, that would be the opening scene, so if that sounds more up the alley of a 2nd level rogue/sorcerer (although feel free to change if you've gotten another idea) we'll run with that. I figure this will give Aekalos a change to use his stealth, spells, and probably charm to infiltrate the orc tribe and return with what he finds. As for background, I'll give you a fairly liberal leash - assuming you don't claim to much glory for a 2nd level character! :) I doubt you will, just saying.... How's that sound? Oh, and I'll give you an option. If you want an RG thread, I'll leave it to you to manage. I figure that way it could be from your perspective if you want it. If not, could you save your first post here for your character sheet? Thanks. That'll just mean that it is easy to find. As for character generation ... 32 pt. buy and 75% HP as per my other games sound good? [/QUOTE]
