[OOC] Trouble in Korthos

[Leo Khan]

Me as well.

[Lord Orgasmo]

UPDATE: Work and School has been pretty Taxing on me, and I got pretty burned out for a minute, but things should be back to normal for now. I'm still working on getting a map because for whatever reason good map makers are hard to find. Below is the Requested backstory for Korthos. Lastly, for our first posts I'd like to do a "Flashback moment" What you were doing before getting on the Wyndspire Falcon/ what you were doing on it. This is a chance to develop characters, establish relations, etc. I'll wait a couple more days for everyone to finish everything up , and then I'll hit up the first post.

Korthos

Korthos was Originally uninhabited by Humans. The first settlers were Sahuagin, a race of fish people. These Sahuagin worshipped an evil god called the Devourer. They populated some parts of the island, but mainly stayed near the water, as most Sahuagin do. After some time, a small boat made its way to the island. a small group of people looking to settle. 5 men and 5 women, all humans, were sent to populate the island, and would respond to their homeland once a settlement had been made. The Sahuagin, discovering this, demanded sacrifices from the humans, for living on their home, and raided their city in a show of power, stealing the runestone that allowed them to commune with the mainland. The humans, weak, and unwilling to fight, gave small amounts of gold, meats, and even weapons to the Sahuagin. Being so few, however, the Humans could not keep up with the sacrifices, were forced to flee the island, or fight. Two women, and one man decided to flee, while the rest submitted to the Sauhagin. Those who submitted to the Sahuagin, were enslaved by the Sahuagin, and their children were converted to worshiping the Devourer, and some of the adults, eventually began to worship too, out of desperation.

The escapees made off with their magical runestone in a scuffle with one of the converted, who had planned to try and return with them. Now four, they could finally commune with their homeland, Ecclesia. Unfortunately, during the years, a civil war had broken out over taxes, and laws on property. After explaining the situation, the King sent over what sparring soldiers and supplies he could, as well as any volunteers from Eccessia that wanted to go. Arriving on a much larger scale, the people of Ecclessia set up a village along with the original four, and began to fight back against the Sahuagin. Over the next 10 years, Korthos would be put on the map, both the Villagers and Sahuagin forces (Both the Sahuagin themselves, and those that believed that the Devourer and Sauhagin were the winning side.) would rapidly grow in numbers, while Ecclessia cut off all contact and supply ships after the civil war was over and new leadership was put in place, and few would go to the Island.

The opposing forces have reached a sort of stalemate, neither really wanting to launch a full scale attack for fear of the consequences. However, with no real military to speak of, only a select few of them possessing any real professional training, the villagers are weak, and the Sahuagin and cultists are getting more bold by the day, and to top it all off, a dragon has appeared, freezing the normally tropical island. Why is the dragon here? Whose side is it on? Will you be able to do anything about it? Find out soon.
(I wrote this while sleep deprived, pls no hate.)

@Lord Orgasmo no hate xD Nice write up and we all appreciate your efforts and your honesty. I’ll start hitting the books on my chara. Have a good night

[Gareth]

@Lord Orgasmo and everybody work has been busy I appologize for the bs... I won’t say anymore and I’ll see what I do.

[Lumiere]

Still patently hype.
Can certainly start working on 'post zero'(What they were doing before the crash) if we're still doing this.

:x

[Lord Orgasmo]

Tell you guys what, why don't you all write your flashbacks while we wait for others. I'll work on a quick post to get the surroundings ready, and we'll start from there.

[Lumiere]

I have a majority of a post finished. Should I send it to you, or just post it when its finished, ending in 'waking up'?

EDIT: I didn't see your material, but I can form a full post at this point.

[Lord Orgasmo]

Go ahead and post it,@Lumiere you can end it either waking up, or after Jeets' speech.

[Leo Khan]

@Lord Orgasmo I posted. I wrote it rather quickly, as usual with my busy schedule, so let me know what you think, if I should change or add anything.

[Lumiere]

Just decided to fix a tiny bit of Luci's words so he actually introduced himself and is nearby the supposed collection of peoples.

[Leo Khan]

@Lumiere I've noticed you refer to your character as both they and he, which would you prefer we use?

[Lumiere]

@Leo Khan
Androgyny is funny like that. 'He', probably, for simplicity, though its not outwardly apparent that they are, as far as IC goes...I mean, unless someone asks. *Shrug*

[Lumiere]

So, does rotation work in a way where it would now be my turn to post, or are we waiting for someone else?
:x

[Lord Orgasmo]

@LumiereI believe we have one or two other people who need to make a CS, but if you're referring to just hanging put on the beach area, you can post now, in whatever order you'd like, but once we get into situations like combat, I would like us to follow a posting order. For the posting order part, I'll somewhat be enforcing a time limit, so that people don't hold everyone else up. By somewhat, I mean that it's negotiable. If you're at work, and you've been pulling all-nighters and you can't post for a couple of days, let me know and we can swap your turn with someone else, or maybe the enemies will begin to counterattack.

I'll give everyone 4-5 more days to finish any and all CS's, and then the story will move on, with or without them.

[Lumiere]

I'll probably post again just to spur on some dialogue. It's most likely not going to be a super long post, but I'll try to keep it at least interesting.

[Lord Orgasmo]

For those of you using spells... here's a list of spells, whether to use directly, or to base ideas off of.

Magic

Bard
Cleric
Druid
Eldritch Knight(Fighter Archetype)
Paladin
Ranger
Sorcerer
Warlock
Wizards

Do note that as of now most of you can only cast up to level three spells or so. Rangers, Paladins, and Eldritch Knights only have access to level two spells. We will be working off of a mana system, so be wary of that, but also know than Cantrips are free to cast.

[Lumiere]

@Lord Orgasmo
So that level 3 spell I have...I actually shouldn't have?
>x>

EDIT: Tiny Hut
EDIT2: I mean, it hasn't come up yet. I can just nix it for later, but I'd make up for it with more spells since I have mostly cantrips, a level 1 spell and a level 3 spell.
EDIT3: I'm not opposed to reworking my spells to fit a specific level of Bard that you'd have in mind. Just let me know what I'm doing and I'll do it.

EDIT4: A Racial power (Darkness), A class ability (Inspiration), 3 Cantrips, one 1 Lvl 1*, 2 and 3 spell; one of each.

*(Liberties taken on 'Cure wounds' to splice it with 'healing word'. Luci technically knows 2 lvl 1 spells)

[Lord Orgasmo]

I totally forgot about that, my bad. So let's do, level 3 spells for full casters, and level 2 for Paladins, Rangers and Eldritch Knights.

[Lord Orgasmo]

Unless you guys want to dismiss the conversation, I'll wait for you guys before I continue the plot

[Lumiere]

I'm fine with moving on if @Leo Khan doesn't have anything to say for Sev...or if everyone so far is fine with just leaving stuff up to a section at the beginning of a post with the assumption that we soon move on.
