[OOC] Rites Of Passage (a High Fantasy/Forgotten Realms Adventure)

[Astarael42]

as an addition to anyone planning a post...

the feeling of being watched still remains as it has for some time now; basically it started when we left loudwater on an occasional basis and once we were on the trade road it was much more common. Now it happens fairly often whenever you are not in town (when working outside town). As yet have not been able to catch anyone paying undue attention or find the source of the feeling.

I apologize for my absence but my laptop is out of order and im incapableof writting on a phone.
Once i get my laptop back ill definitely post.

[Astarael42]

no worries. I'm not going anywhere.

[Astarael42]

waiting to hear back on a new potential member. Will give him a few more days before moving on. I will be traveling for 3 months however -should- have wifi to keep posting more regularly than before.

[orcpunx]

HAIIIIIIII

whats happening anyone still here?

[Astarael42]

yup. still here. barely.

[Astarael42]

now the question is anyone else here? I was waiting for a friend to join us but he seems to have dropped off the planet so I'm done waiting.

[orcpunx]

im here. not sure about others.

[Jollan]

Sorry I have been gone for a while, school work and vacation have all blended together alongside the fact that I had no idea what to post about for the longest time. Then I realized I didn't need a long complicated post I just needed to freakin post. I'm sorry I left y'all hanging for so long, I'll try to be better at it.

[Astarael42]

No worries. I was waiting on a friend for awhile, then I was traveling and while I thought I'd have good signal I didn't, then my dog passed away and I'm just now coming back to life though I still don't want to do much.

[orcpunx]

4.) our employers will be giving us gifts before we leave...if there's something in particular you think your character would really like let me know otherwise it will be something high quality and useful (as opposed to decorative)

[orcpunx]

okay sorry for my abscence
so we write the things we get the new one ones and the how our characters fell before teh leav? like were packing or so to say atm?
or we just list them in the ooc?

[Astarael42]

hi @orcpunx. You can use whichever method you prefer. It's probably simpler to do it in the ooc. I have a post half started but I had a pretty serious family emergency (for the past month and more) and I'm working on that right now. If I don't get it up today then it won't happen for a week or so and I will rewrite to fit whatever happens to be up by the time I can do stuff again.

[Astarael42]

I have edited my last post to bring us forward in time to life on board the ship, but not long before port. Anything you wish to add via flashback or similar is welcome. The trip itself, with the exception of the storm and working the children's butts off, has been uneventful. I have some NPC stuff to post up soon but will wait on another post before I do so.

[orcpunx]

okay so.
i think getting proper armour and weapons is one thing.
making a small convoy is another.
a tent
tools and tools and then some tools. ropes included
some clothes and thats about it.

[Astarael42]

@orcpunx@Jollan

Its decision time. One of the big ones for this adventure. In your next post...whenever that may be...include a dream. In this dream you see a great boar and a great snake fighting (where they are fighting, what they look like, how the fight looks is up to you). If your character is going on this quest to seek justice for those that have fallen to the dark gods power in some way the boar should win the fight. If your character is on a quest for personal vengeance for the loss of your family/loved ones the snake should win.

[orcpunx]

i hope you realise how big of a decision i need to make now. i cant... i mean.... fuck... what if i want to change later.... i dont..... arghhh....... im gonna hang myself and problem is solved XD

[Astarael42]

@jollan wondering if you are still around. Not trying to pressure you, just want to know if you are still playing.
