    @Dark - Indeed it is. Had a post ready to go yesterday, but the site kept being unresponsive and dropping. Will have it up in just a few minutes after I change up a bit to make it match up with the newer posts.

    Just to make it clear, Jaelnec's clothes (the coat, hat, armor, etc.) is by no means a Knighthood of the Will uniform. The Knighthood doesn't have a uniform. It is simply a mix of clothing he owned as an apprentice and clothing/armor he inherited from Freagon when he died.

    And yoshua... I could just be all strict and obsessive about this and say "not that your character would have access to", but that is really not for me to decide - it will be your character, and you will decide which rare objects it has. Runes cannot be used to "trap" anything within them in the sense that someone gets put inside them, but there do exist extremely rare crystals which require enormous amounts of power to even forge in the first place, but which can then trap things inside them - like the souls of the deceased or entire magical beings, like immortals or pseudo-immortals (of which Shards of Sin would fall into the latter). These crystals are usually referred to as Crystal Prisons, and whatever is trapped within still lives there, though contained and a skilled magus - with lots of practice - can learn to tap into the energy of whatever creature sealed in it. However, doing so runs the risk of accidentally freeing the imprisoned creature if too much of it is released thusly... or having the creature possess the mage, having it inhabit the mage's body along with the original soul, sometimes even obliterating the mage's own soul in the process. Energy belonging to an entity such imprisoned can only be used if channeled through someone else first, though - such as a mage, wielding the prisoner's energy instead of his/her own.
    Runes placed onto anything can have magical energy stored within them, whereafter the person from whom the energy came can unleash that energy (for an effect depending on the sigil in which it is stored) whenever they want, or even absorb it back into him/herself. A rune filled with magical energy can also just lie idle for extended periods of time, but remain under the control of the one that charged them. Alternately, (as you wrote about "channeling") one could make just about any device with a combination of magical crystal (something different from but related to Crystal Prisons), some other material and runes that would function like a rune sword, as described in the Arcane Magic sub-section.

    Now, as for that summary... well, thus far the group met up in Borstown, where they foiled an attempt by the Crusader's Guild to kill a whole bunch of people lured to a black market with the promise of a cure for the Withering so that the Guild would have fewer competitors in the search for said cure.
    Then the group went to a settlement in a forest called Shrubnest (both Borstown and Shrubnest were in the duchy of Nemhim) where they found more crusaders, which they fought and defeated, to reach a scholar, who turned out to be a necromancer called Gerald. They learned a bit about the Withering from him, then went on, deciding to head to Zerul City because one of the group members had a father there that had been inflicted with the Withering, but who had recovered.
    Gerald decided to go with them as far as Anaxim Forest because he wanted to study the place, as he learned of other people there mysteriously recovering from the Withering. The group then went to the duchy of Anaxim, and briefly visited the small forest of Schaxathris, where some of the group found a small nest of vampires in the ruins of an old Gazzeral Church of Reina. The vampires assaulted them, and although there were both physical and mental injuries inflicted upon them everyone survived. The strange traveler and self-proclaimed exporer extraordinaire Olan also joined the group there. In Schaxathris, one member of the group called Immanuel also abruptly and inexplicably transformed into a Harvester and, after having failed to massacre the companions, went out to go on a murderous rampage in Rodoria.
    After having finished up in Schaxathris, the companions continued to the fringe of Anaxim Forest to get rid of Gerald there and otherwise follow the treeline until they got to where the borders of Anaxim and Zerul met, choosing to go by less traveled roads for the sake of avoiding further attacks. Ironically, when they arrived at the forest, Natyr the Melenian abruptly burst out of the forest, followed by a whole tribe of goblins. The group is currently in the process of slaying said goblins, and have reduced the tribe to about a fourth of its original size thus far.

    Of other things of note, Nemhim City recently came under attack by Seclyrian warriors because it was revealed that Nemhim had spied on Seclyr for Zerul. Of things not mentioned in the RP yet at all, IC or OOC (because of lack of relevance and because the characters' would not know), Pelgaid City is currently busily preparing the upcoming wedding between Frederick Pelgaid - the White Duke - and Selene Zerul. Because of this, Marcus Zerul - the Blue Duke and Selene's father - and most of the nobility of Zerul has left and gone to Pelgaid along with a large chunk of the Zerulic military, and further more have gone out on various missions althrough Rodoria, leaving Zerul with only a few remaining soldiers.
    Hmm... I think that covers the most important events thus far.

    Of characters there are:
    Jaelnec the Nightwalker, a squire of the Knighthood of the Will. A trained hunter of evil and monster-slayer, masterful swordsman and expert knife-thrower. He is also the reluctant leader of the companions.
    Annabelle Silversmith, a Paladin of Liya clad in heavy armor and wielding both sword and shield and dual swords, depending on the situation. Although she is a Favored One of Liya, she is also secretly a three-quarter demon who has deceived everyone (to some degree even herself) into believing that she is human. She also has two followers that are just basic soldiers, Brian and Louis Pennyworthy.
    Then there is Aemoten, a warrior from a distant southern land. He uses a sword quite aptly and otherwise has the advantage of being "unkillable", meaning that he can sustain any injury and still not die, and will recover with time. He can also somehow trade with his deity to invoke something like Favored power, though he must always give something in return.
    Let me see... then there is Thaler, a Daywalker thief who goes by the alias of Black Sun. On top of the traditional rogue kind of skills, she has an ability that is like an advanced sonar that allows her to perceive the world around her despite her blindness. Hymusia calls it "echovision". She also has a mysterious power that allows her to compel others to follow simple orders.
    We also have Kegan, also known as Brand, though he has not yet joined the group. He is a former noble that has now become a Cleric of Hazzergash, and thus wields fire as his Favored power. Not much is known about him aside from that.
    Jillian is a sorceress and a practitioner of black magic, of which the latter has marked her as an outlaw and made her a hunted person in Zerul. She is currently trying to escape to Anaxim.
    Finally the last character waiting to join the group is the free deigan Jehlavreh'nai, or Jehla for short. An ex-Balance Warden turned prostitute, but still with the skills that come with having learned the Art of the Warden. She is in Zerul City.

    ...I think that's everything. Feel free to ask if there's anything else you'd like to know.

    EDIT: Didn't see the new question until the page updated when I hit "post"... As a penin practiced magic and gained power - through the "exhaust-regen stages", as you so aptly put it - their health would indeed deteriorate more slowly than most other races because it was quite simply better from the beginning. Magical exhaustion still affects them as quickly and strongly as any other race, however. Given that they go through the "exhaust-regen stages" sufficiently many times, their health would ultimately deteriorate in the same way as any other race as well - it just happens more slowly.

    Hmmm I see. Thank you ^^. I do appreciate it greatly and this is very fortunate as I think I can make something truly unique with these things taken into consideration.

    Oh that's not for others -though they could use it if they wanted to- its just for my own reference. Also the profile is now finished with the exclusion of the Titles which won't be added until after I edit everything to Dark Jack's Liking and general Acceptability. I do apologize slightly for the rather...considerable length of my character profile but I kept getting inspired and it led me to want to fill in different dimensions of my character.

    One last thing.

    Dark Jack, If you would give your entire critique/need of edits in my profile at once either in the OOC or in PM please do so all at once rather than in sections as it would be far more convenient -if possible, I am asking with the utmost respect for your own amount of time and such - if you could do it as such as it will be easier for me to edit everything that needs it at once rather than going back each time and editing each individual thing.

    Uh... how to say this... I can't open the spoiler and read what's inside. I keep pressing "Show", but nothing happens, which is sort of an impairment when it comes to looking over the CS...

    Sorry about that...Maybe now it'll work :/. If not just say so and I suppose I'll remove any other spoilers and such but if I do it will be...slightly annoying lol.

    Speaking of posting, it is about time for me to post, too... I'll probably do so later today, from work if I don't have much to take care of.
    I presume we've around thirty-five functional goblins left after Player2's post?
