(YBA) Moth in Red Star Valley

[Ciaran]

Having only just completed his training at the Monastery of the Red Butterfly. Moth ambles lazily down the road, looking forward to his first adventure. The world outside the monastery is full of horrors and wonders, or so it is said. Surely he'll encounter some of them soon enough...

((New YBA character seeks adventure! DM wanted. If you're interested, chime in and pull Moth into the dungeon of your choice! - Eric))

*Moth*

You venture to a small town on the outskirts of a vast valley. This is the town of Reddawn. This Valley is known as the Red Star Valley.....

Down in the Depths of this valley is the High Temple of the Red Star.....

The monks at this temple are very peacfull folk.... only comming out of the temple and up from the valley rarely to make trades and the like.....

Recently however, the trades have stopped and the monks have not been seen entering or exiting the valley......

As you are a monk of sorts...they have asked you to explore the recent absesnse of the monks from the valley top town....

The village has scraped togerher a few yen for you to take with you.... in case you need anything to venture forth with.... they give you 10 yen and tell you to get going as soon as possible.....

 

[Ciaran]

"Thank you, blessed Elders of Reddawn. I will seek out these monks and return to tell you of their fate."

Taking the handful of yen to the village herb-witch, he purchases a handful of herbs, berries and resins. These he carries into the woods, where after several hours of enchantment, he weaves a warding-spell to protect himself from whatever dangers he might face. With a smile and a prayer to the spirits, he eats a spare meal (purchased with the last of his funds), extinguishes the fire, and sets off towards the valley.

Trained in the basics of the martial and magical arts at the Monastery of the Red Butterfly, Moth seeks adventure and lost magics. Surely he'll find them, but will he survive?

A guide leads you out of the village and down a small winding path...... after an hour or so your guide tells you it's a little warmer than normal here for this time of year.... you figure it may have something to do with the absense of the monks...... but it's just a guess....... he leads you to a steep downward sloap the begins to desend into the valley..... from here your on your own..your guide will not follow..... you have two paths... one the leads almost strait down the path at a steep sloap...or one that's a little more windy... but alot less steep... which do you choose???

 

[Ciaran]

"Thank you, friend! Don't worry, I'll be fine from here on out."

Seeing the forking paths, Moth pauses for a moment, then takes the gentler slope. He smiles, enjoying the wind in his hair, and walks slowly, taking in the sights and smells of the valley as he descends.

 

[Rathan]

you walk a ways and the path levels..... off in the distance...you can see two humaniod figures throwing some sort of round object back and forth to eachother...... it is up to you weather to try to sneak around them or confront them.... which do you chose????

 

[Ciaran]

How curious, Moth thinks... is this some sort of game the monks play to practice their co-ordination? It reminds him of some of the exercises practiced at the Monastery. Curious, he walks on down the path to get a closer look.

((Heading home now... be back in about 16 hours!))

 

[Rathan]

*The humaniods are now clearly visable...and they are green and quite ugly....... they are goblins..... young ones at that....and the drop the metal ball they were playing with and charge at you....

"How strange!" says Moth aloud, feeling the rush of adrenaline as he faces his first real battle. "Unhumans in civilized lands... could they be responsible for the disappearance of the monks?"

Readying himself for the onslaught, Moth attempts to parry the goblins' first attacks, then leaps in the air to stun one with a kick to the head.
