Ah, kay, so Tirarian is also now at the Manor place. Thanks for mentioning that!

I was waiting for the day to pass by, as she did return to the Den to go to sleep for the night. No one should know it was her who killed the guy, except the guy of course, if he's managed to be resurrected.

But if any case. Julia would be heading back to the smith to pick up her sword come the next day. I wasn't sure if anyone was going to pop in, investigate. There's been so much going on, sorry I haven't written >.<

Oh, no! It's fine. My apologies I should move it along to day time... soon... ish... eventually... Er uh, I must ask. Forgive me if I don't recall, but did you hide the body, if you killed him early in the day? Or did you kill him near the nightfall? So it'd make sense they wouldn't react, until, ya know day. ... Broke the rules you fiend!

But er uh yeah, was the body hidden?

Lol no, the body. Wasn't hidden. The act was done at night, he grabbed for her, she evaded but knocked something down which got people's attention. So disguise ed Julia ran. But they would've found him with a piece of glass in his eye, just as he left the elf, a few stab wounds to the chest. And I think that was it.

Backstory: Corvus grew up in North Farethas with his cousin, Falcius. Right from the start, the two were bad seeds, stealing food to survive, brawling in street corners to earn a bit more money. The two became renowned as troublemakers and ruffians. At one point, someone even tried to have a bounty put on the pair's heads, but this was rarely pursued and most bounty hunters saw it as a waste of time. One day, Falcius was picking pockets and swiping wallets when he dipped his hand into the wrong man's coat - a lieutenant in the Jackal gang, one of the three big gangs plaguing their city. Unsurprisingly, the lieutenant was furious, but he couldn't confront Falcius there and then - all the boy had to do was call for help, and the Jackal would have half a legion of guards on him before he could throw a punch. However, Falcius and, by association, Corvus were now on the hit list, totally oblivious to the trouble they were in.
The learned about it a week later. Whilst hanging around one of their favourite brawling spots, watching a fight in progress, six Jackals and their lieutenant ambushed them. They took everyone by surprise and since it was boys against men, it should have been a short-lived fight. Should have been, if not for Corvus. Driven by some kind of ferocious loyalty to protect his cousin, he dove straight into the fight, aiming for the lieutenant, figuring that if he took him down, his friends should be able to handle the rest. The head Jackal, not expecting such a fast or ferocious counter-attack, ended up on the floor, beaten and bruised. Like Corvus predicted, the other Jackals lost heart - two ran away, the others were swiftly overpowered.
It wasn't long after that when Falcius and Corvus were introduced to the Khans, a second gang vying for control. Unlike the other two, the Khans had footholds in other cities and were by far the most powerful organised crime empire in the region, The Khans were impressed by the two brawlers, especially when they heard Corvus took out a Jackal leader. The two were permitted to join the Khans under the rank of Brawler - not a high rank, but better than most recruits.
In the years that followed, Corvus and Falcius grew in rank and respect in the Khans, and helped them grow from a small crime empire to a massive, infamous clan, one that had entire towns under its control - literally, it's enforcers were the town's guards. They didn't do this themselves, mind you, but they were a part of several crucial fights that crushed competitors like the Immortals, the Crimson Cobras and, of course, the Jackals. Corvus reached the rank of Warrior, Falcius one higher at Enforcer, before something changed in him. The childish fights and illicit drug dealing didn't appeal to him anymore. He had seen what the things he supplied to people did to them, and vowed never to take the drugs himself as long as he lived. He left the Khans, though they made it clear that if he wanted back in, all he had to do was ask, and went to a nearby town to find work. He was 22.
He found a job that suited his skill set perfectly: he joined the army. The Khans taught him how to use swords, shields and armour, so he had an advantage in training, and he was able to see foreign places and cultures as he was sent around Farethas' allies, teaching and learning all the while. While visiting a land called Torney, he learned how to detox his drugs to make them less addictive and more beneficial. Using this knowledge, he was able to supply his units with makeshift painkillers, disinfectants and anaesthetics, allowing them to fight on longer and harder.
But all good things must come to an end. The Khans and the army were obviously at ends, but no-one thought anything of it - the Khans saw the army and guards as being easily corruptible and lazy, whilst the army saw the Khans as a load of dirty drug-dealers that weren't worth their time. No-one quite expected the brass at the top to order a full-scale attack on several key Khan hideouts. Corvus feigned illness to get out of going, expecting the Khans would push the army back with minimal casualties on either side. No-one truly expected the outcome.
The Khans were massacred. Very few survived, and those who did quickly abandoned any thoughts of continuing that lifestyle. The army, too, suffered heavy losses - in several areas, only one or two units returned, and in one location, a lone soldier returned to tell of victory. The brass had expected the Khans to be a pushover, but they lacked Corvus' first-hand knowledge of their intense training regimes. They had hoped to install garrisons in the captured locations, but there simply weren't enough troops. A few towns were recaptured, but everywhere else fell to ruin.
Corvus' couldn't stand being a part of an army where the leaders didn't understand the strength of the enemy. He didn't want to be a part of the group that killed the only family he'd ever known. As vicious and as sadistic as the Khans were, they were his family. The army couldn't replace them. And now, most of his army friends were gone, too. The garrison were he was could now fit in one tent, and survivors were quitting left, right and centre. Finally, Corvus quit, and decided to make his way to somewhere quieter and less aggressive - Estermere

Good work Feig! You achieved the Four = Death character!

Can't wait to see backstory. Will do my thing as soon as I see that.

I'm actually really excited for that one Feig :) awesome back story! Hope you have better luck with him.

That's odd. For species you put Gryph, but you're clearly playing a human.

...What's a Gryph? But, everything else looks good. I might put up some lore about recent wars in Daiar, esp. ones involving the Nisceni Empire, the Rostguardian Foreign Legions, and whatever Farethas is doing.

Oh damn. The term 'Gryph' was meant for a different rp. I've changed it now.

Yeah looks fine Feig. Get on in there. I'll still do the various questions, but looks fine, get in and choose a spot to do stuff at.

I recommend either
Forest with Gnolls
Elric's Shoppe
Elric's Manor
Or Astronomer Guild.

For the sole reasons of PCs. Or you can go to the Church! But the burning of the heathen isn't happening yet.

It's FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
Rotten Vegetables are only Half Copper, to purchase and throw during the Long Walk.
Rocks tend to be free. Some vendors sell heavier rocks for two copper.
Really nasty and slimy rotting chum is a silver.
A Bonding Moment with the Family? - Priceless

Everything about this post is the best

Anyway did a fairly quick thing. (Will need to actually describe the manor in detail, didn't do it with this one, cause wanted to get something out.)

Lets see, and next round I'll get the other locations, such as Rihar with the Gnolls, probably go to check everything out and make sure they have proper Gnoll chains so they can solve the mystery with Ark. And stuff like that, oh and turn it over to next day soon-ish...

Where the corpse will be found because some Jerk broke the Den's ONE Rule.

Eh, Wyvern, wood elves move fast especially on horseback. Might want to add them in the gnoll thing.

Feig, looks good, accepted.

Anyone direct me to the burning with a post link? Too much stuff going on/

Haven't burned the heretic yet. Tribunal needs ya happen first.

Then they'll burn and it'll be a fun family gathering.

A four legged eagle that lays chestbursters in you.

That is a Gryphon, or may happen you are referring to their wingless cousins, the Keythong? A Gryph is honey-skinned, tall, muscular Elf breed who believe they are the children of aforementioned gryphons. Well, they are in my RP, anyway.

No, I checked the D&D wiki just to be sure. They are definitely chestburster eagles.

Forest - Maybe I could stumble upon this meeting in the forest, but I'm a tad worried this might upset the balance of the game by interrupting an important part.
Shop - Not likely. After all, why would an ex-alchemist, ex-soldier need to go to a barber-surgeon?
Manor - How could I crowbar myself in? Also, may seem like an unwanted intrusion.
Astronomer's guild - Magic is for pussies. Real men use steel.
Church - Praying for redemption for his past sins? Or quietly plotting a way to destroy the monks and their religion without being discovered?

Please tell me you're a salesman of some description. if you aren't, you might want to consider it - you'd be damn good at it. You're the kind of guy who could sell bacon to vegans. To eat. Repetitively.

Nothing quite says "I love my family" quite like watching a young girl getting roasted alive in the name of religion. And if you get to throw rocks, rotten fruit and animal guts at the child in question, all the better.

Expect some kind of faux-hero moment with Corvus. He grew up in the Khans, man. They actually give a flying feather about how people die.

Hm. Didn't think they were a real fantasy race. Fair play.
