[OOC] Estermere - A Medieval Fantasy Roleplay

[BKburke]

Ok

[Professor_Wyvern]

Mmyeah looks fine. Just hope that you don't walk in-front of a Wizard who is paying attention.

And make sure you can find the necessary ingredients. And such.

[BKburke]

Got it.

[Professor_Wyvern]

May need to link it over here (well sans background and things like that) for transparency's sake. At the very least mention the inventory/abilities, so no misunderstandings and uh, things like that happen.

But yes. Everyone please enjoy this motivational message from the sponsors. (Or something like that)

Motivational

[BKburke]

Will do.

[LiverisGood]

Are you taking new CS by any chance?

[IncredibleBee]

I think so, yes.

[LiverisGood]

Well, I will have to find time to read 345 IC post (as of this post) to see how the world works and what is happening so far before I submit one.

Time flies and keys spam. Sometimes you lose track of how far you have come. To be fair not a lot has happened, we've just done a lot of posts

[BingTheWing]

Wyyyvern, PM.

(Note: if you fail to understand me this time I will write it in the OOC.)

[Professor_Wyvern]

No need.

I will post it here for transparency.

ADDITIONAL INFO, BRO:In my next IC post I'm going to describe a camp in the wilderness, not far from Estermere, where Remington's destination will be to deliver the documents. The idea is to nab him and save Elric before he does.

Ah but you see Mimsy took the box and book with info on the box. As he was knocked out Elric took it. And Anya used the liquid for finger paints (alongside the book regarding the liquid)

So really there is only one document at the actual house. The surgical paper. The others were liberated/destroyed through the events of the roleplay.

[Professor_Wyvern]

Also ah whatever happened to the art of finger-painting...

[MyCatGinger]

For Liver: Saves you reading over 340 posts, eh?!

A summary of what has happened up to now, mostly

Well, right now, Remington and his homies are members of the Estermere town militia bought over to the Nisceni Empire. Currently, they have captured Elric, a barber-surgeon who has in his possession various medical papers that contain revolutionary discoveries invaluable to Nisceni.

However, the plan above is plan B. Plan A was that, last night in the RP, anothoer Nisceni agent called Jel the gnoll commanded a giant hyena called Grushtov to rampage through Estermere to provide a distraction to gain the papers, Remington being his accomplice. But Grushtov and his master were eventually dispatched by Elric, James the knight, and Tira the gnome alchemist. A nearby gnoll tribe is being questioned on if Jel belonged to them, with a reply disproving so.

As for lesser characters doing their own thing:

At the Astronomer's guild, a half-elf traveller who has just arrived to our little town of Estermere and a half-orc scholar were exchanging information about how the elf could get taught there, which is what he's always wanted. Let's call him Trafalgar. The half-orc scholar's name I've forgotten. <<" Sorry Wyvern. Anyway, another half-orc, called Shork, (who is besties with my chara Corinne) joins them, surprised that the rumours of a half-elf scholar in Estermere are true, and just generally welcoming the half-elf as well because he knows how it is to be ill-treated by the fullbloods. They all bond and exchange information with the scholar about the guild.

A full elf, Corinne, and a half elf, Julia, just met at the remains of the tavern from the destruction by the Jel the gnoll and his ugly rabid dog pet thing the night before, where Julia had just arrived to the town at as well. Corinne was there to pick up her uncle, who had passed out by...a certain someone's doing. *AHEM TRAFALGAR* the night before. She was just checking if he was okay, because he was in one of the rooms upstairs and she left the tavern in a hurry to see where the gnoll and his pet's rampage led to, which happened to be Elric's home. Regardless, the two ladies meet, and they walk towards the smithy, and nearby also happens to be one of the more shadier taverns, The Hunters' Den. or more simply, The Den. They speak leisurely, Corinne, Julia and Corinne's uncle Sebastian Vaudrey, who happens to be a half-elf. So he's kind of her half-uncle, since her mother shares only a mother with the man. His father was human, and hers was elven.
REGARDLESS SHE'S BEEN LIVING WITH HIM FOR A HELL OF A LONG TIME SO HE'S HER UNCLE.
Anyway, they reach the smithy, part ways with Julia there who heads to The Den. Corinne finds her love interest, the blacksmith Rowan's son, is not at the forge at the moment and chooses to sit and wait for him there. Both to see him and to ask him about some fruity rumours.
Uncle Seb is just having a good old time with Rowan.

Note: Elric the barber surgeon has a huge hole in the side of his house. In his house currently, we have Remmington, dealing with a little girl there who thinks his study is a playroom and is absolutely adorable and has no idea Remmy is...well, not what he seems at least, and helps him unknowingly to the best of her ability, but for someone her age it's not very...good. Also note, she's a vampire. She cannot leave the house. Her father however, James, has.gone out to scout the city and left her in Elric's care. Elric...well, at the moment, happens to be knocked out by some guards and taken from the house. Tirarian is currently in pursuit of the guard possessing him, who is called Mimsy, and James panics and makes for the house to check if his daughter's safe.
And who knows if she is, with Remmy being so close by and his temper being this short...

And in other news, a little 'demon girl' as they call her in the poorer part of the city, Harkness Street, was being harassed by the public, and she lost her cool and her ghost summoning powers manifested, and she scared everyone off and they think she's a witch and they're going to take her to church to 'purify' her again and make her repent for her sins and devil worship. Her name is Liesel. She's very quiet, but also very quaint. She spends a lot of time tending to the graveyards. Currently there are no active characters interacting with her, save NPCs. Perhaps Delvin would like to be her knight in shining armour, and tell the townsfolk to back off because she's just a child?
Note, she's unworldly pale. I don't know if he'd notice that off the bat.

Oh, and a high-elven missus is in the city as well, another traveller I'd suppose, and she's a demon hunter and came because of the high level of demon activity she heard of in the area. (Does this mean we'll have Liesel-Leara interaction soon? 'You're the demon?' 'No I'm no-' 'QUIET. BE GONE.') And she's trying to make a name for herself there. Though cleverly enough, she's actually a demon tool herself and made some sort of blood ritual pact with them and basically she has green eyes and is 2sp00py4me but also bewitchingly beautiful. Like all elves.

And SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW on gnollish plains, Ark the gnoll is being interrogated about his tribe because of the attack the night before by a dwarf and two pretty pissed humans but they figure out he captured a dark elf (elves tend to go hunting a lot, my chara Corinne is a hunter herself) who had wounded one of his tribe members, and they took him in and found out something wasn't quite right with him and so they are proceeding to claim Ark and his pack innocent. I think they also offer him a peaceful citizenship so long as they keep at bay with attacks and no elves are meant to hurt them ever.

So... (TL;DR)

Available characters and interactions:
Singles:
Julia at The Den, currently probably rethinking her options and gulping because they're a rowdy bunch.
Corinne at the smithy, waiting for her lover from wherever he's gone out. Hopefully Wyvern hasn't killed him off yet. I'll skin him if he has.
Liesel at Harkness Street, being harassed by the people of the town in the area/
Leara at ??? location, dealing with a rat demon infestation, if I'm not mistaken.
Ark the gnoll, who is currently being interrogated by a dwarven member of Estermere guard about the attack last night. Has nothing to do with it. A dark elf discovered in his mitts. Will you be passing through gnollish plains in order to meet with this gnoll and the conversation happening here?

Doubles:
Shork and Trafalgar at the Astronomer's guild, talking to a scholar and discussing general magic and abilities.
Elric is knocked out, but he should be back soon enough. Tirarian the gnome is in hot pursuit of his captor. You could join.
James Hawthorne the human knight, currently rushing home to meet with his daughter Anya and make sure she's safe, though she prolly isn't with guard Remington so close by.

Have I forgotten anyone? Hope not. Hope this helps you see where to jump in!
god it's a matriarchy my fair ladies.

[annalynne_d]

oye ... that took a lot, but I think I'm happy with it. Honestly, I didn't see it going there when I started writing haha. Hope you all enjoy.

[BingTheWing]

I don't know if I'll have the time to write the post when the wood elf reports to Ironmaw, so Wyvern, you okay with doing that? Wood elves travel fast, you know, so he would reach Estermere in just over half the time it takes on horseback on a path. Anyway, you've been following the Mimsy/Remmy thing better than I am.

[Rainmaker]

I'll wait for Vec/Trafalgar to write a post talking to Ashera first before I write something more, if that's okay.

Yeah that's cool.

[BKburke]

I'll post my character Jacks abilities and equipment and stuff here. Don't want his bio getting out yet. Also not sure how I would introduce him.

[Feigling]

Once more, my ample schedule is limited by that of others.

Why can't we all have more free time?

[IncredibleBee]

It's weird to me how the Niscenci Empire doesn't actually have a symbol of any kind, just "they wear red". We should add a symbol for them to rally behind. Maybe a lion, or an eagle. Chimera maybe.
