[OOC] Under the scorching sun (Fantasy western)

[Lord Wyron]

@Milkman Alright, all my edits have been made! I sincerely apologize for the long wait: what I thought would be a simple Mad Libs style copy-and-paste to change Vilhelm's occupation ended up turning into a complete overhaul of the Character Sheet to make sure all the changes flowed naturally 😅 I had to make a few world building assumptions in the Summary section, if there's any problems or changes you need me to make, please let me know! Otherwise I'll get started on an IC post ASAP!

[Lord Wyron]

And first post is done! Once yours is up @Abstract Proxy I'll edit mine to incorporate Vilhelm's impression of Dylis :)

Thanks, posted!

[Milkman]

I'll read up everything later today :)

@Expendable You posted your OOC in the IC. You might want to remove that from IC and post in OOC :)

@Hellion

oops! Thanks!

@Milkman So, if it's over a hundred years old, the notebook ought to be close enough that it should sort of "ding" at Jake, letting him know that the notebook itself is real. Like Jake said, just because the notebook is real is no proof that what's written inside is.

Would Jake know why the Emperor never retrieved his lost treasure?
Were there any rumors or stories that Jake might know as to why he was moving it, and to the middle of a desert?
Are there legends of some remote oasis or even an isolated escarpment there in the desert, say listed in The Devil's journal Jake carries?

Jake's going to shift slightly and using his peripheral vision, try to notice if others are paying them any attention.

Bandits are to be expected in bars. They may not believe in the treasure, but any expedition would have useful supplies.
And there may be others, true believers, who may show an interest now the notebook is out.

The emperor and his party entered the desert but were never seen again. They never made it to their final destination on the other side. The desert spans the entire continent from east to west and formed the border region between the Iridian Empire north of the desert and the Kingdom of Adaigo south of the desert. The assumption is that they got lost in the desert and everyone died. These events happened 50 years ago.

There will be a section in my next post with the details Jake can learn about it with his psychometry ability.

[Milkman]

Working on my next post. I think it should be up in about 24 hours

[Lord Wyron]

@Expendable Did Jake just call Vilhelm 'miss'? 🤣

He called Katelyn 'miss'.

@Expendable

But Katelyn set the Diary down in front of Vilhelm, who took it, read it, then offered it to Jake at the end of my last post!

@Lord Wyron

I have fixed the post to make it clearer.

[Little Bird]

After lengthy consideration, I officially want to declare that I will not be partaking in this RP. Where I'm at right now, the written expectation of post frequency will likely be too much. My plate is a little full as it, and I'm needing to start limiting my invlovement in RPs as to appropriately dedicated time to other facets of my life.

[Abstract Proxy]

Will have a post up asap, just traveling a bit this week.

[Hellion]

How are we doing?

[Lord Wyron]

Still here! Eagerly waiting!

[Expendable]

He's convinced it's the emperor's diary. Other than that, waiting for posts.

[Hellion]

While Vah'lux doesn't have much to add to the conversation, I probably should make another post for her while she's waiting patiently around the table listening to the others...

[Milkman]

I'm having a rather though time due to some circumstances in my life. Currently very busy with clearing out a house that needs to be empty by the 3rd. I'm swamped in work until then. After the 3rd things will have quieted down for me.

[Expendable]

Good luck.
