@Dragoknighte

I don't know what to think about that game. Some people say it's really good, others say it's lame. You can't really go wrong with $11, though. Tell me if it's any good!

In our first arch of our story, the demons attacked the town with hopes of leaving it in ashes. Unfortunately, with the help of our unlikely team of heroes, Waeldeshore was saved. YAY!!!

Once upon a time...

When we started our story, Maria had a few patients earlier in the day in our healing shop 'Maria's Medicines and Sundries'. Edict stormed in with Xusin, Tirarrian, and Cassius. Xusin had a wounded hand, badly wounded or not, Edict demanded that Maria fix it. Cassius was badly wounded though stepped to the side and waited his turn. With all the commotion and the rudeness directed at her and her shop, Maria snapped. Without any regard for her clients or herself for that matter, she whipped out her spell book and healed Xusin's hand. Edict, having an extreme distrust/dislike for magic, drew his sword to her throat and the situation only escalated from there.

Joseph and Piper were on their way to the docks with their new found friend Jason, who thinks Joseph is a legendary hero named Sir Joffridus, however, after realizing that they've been followed by Isabeau, they've hid in an alley way just near Maria's shop. Isabeau confronted the trio in the alley and things only got stranger from there.

Just as they all started to settle down inside the medical shop, Xusin felt/saw a presence of someone - Aezophyl a demon who was sent here by Zargon. She stormed out of the shop in a fury to confront her fear. In an effort to 'burn off some steam' Aezophyl ... made someone go on fire. In a panic and fright, the burning man ran right into the wall of the healers shop. But he wasn't dead. Rising back up, the charred, still burning skeleton rose back up and started stumbling, causing everyone on the street to flee and in a matter of minutes, bells of alarm to sound. It clumsily scratched at the shop's door even as it set the said door on fire. Between this and the fleeing Xusin, everyone rushed out of the building. Edict rushed the burning skeleton with his sword then caught up with Xusin. Maria had had it. She was accosted by someone who demanded her services, then left without paying, her door was burned down, there was a strange incident of a burning skeleton outside her shop. She ran out of the shop yelling and chasing them, demanding payment. Aezophyl had made his way into the Ugly Mug, and within minutes, more trouble had brewed, sparking the tavern into flames. As he walked out, Xusin, Edict, Cassius and Tirarrian were there to face him. Following Aezophyl out were tons and tons and tons of burning skeletons, minions set forth to cause more destruction and chaos to the town. Cassius attacked first as he lunged at Aezophyl with a few moves that were unfortunately deflected. Though it did give Edict enough time to launch his attack. Tirarrian had settled somewhere and set up her crossbow with a pouch that Edict had given her. Unfortunately she had become overrun by skeletons, but her shot did go off and was extremely successful as it hit the tavern and had taken out the fire that was burning inside.

Piper, Joseph, Jason and Isabeau left the alley way just in time to see the battle unfold. Isabeau went to save Tirarrian from the flaming skeletons, as did Tobias, who had also just arrived on the scene. Katia, Tobias's adopted daughter was busy chopping up skeletons along with the guards. Both Tobias and Isabeau had told Tirarrian that it wasn't safe for her to set up where she was (in so many words :p). Joseph had dragged Jason and Piper away from the fighting, Tirarrian went to join them. Isabeau went to help Edict and Cassius at the tavern to defeat Aezophyl. They were soon joined by Jade and Katia, and then Robert. Aezophyl suddenly found himself quite overwhelmed, outnumbered and rather wounded. Things were not looking up for him, and so, with an ominous message of what was to come, he took his own life.

Artholath, a demon from another realm and yet much the same, specializing in ice, had been deployed by the "boss" Zargon to kill the Mayor. Unfortunately he was intercepted by Durin. The bloody match went on for a bit, although it ended when Artholath was able to escape through a portal, opened by Zargon.

At the moment, we find most of our main characters gathering their wits and mending their wounds. Two of our writers are on vacation for a couple of weeks, so I'd like to use this downtime to get to know our characters, get some more interaction between one another. It's a great opportunity for new characters to join and integrate themselves in our cast, as well as character development for all involved in the rp.

If anyone has any questions, concerns, comments, rants, just pm me :)

[Dragoknighte]

That's a pretty comprehensive summary of the RP. Must have taken forever to write up.

[IcePezz]

@Dragoknighte haha when I actually did, it did take me a bit. Luckily since I do updates often, I just snipped and pasted pieces from posts here and there and made the changes based on the progress made :p

[The Fated Fallen]

Remember folks, we're the best... Aroouund!

[Dragoknighte]

Nothing's ever gonna bring us down

[KazeXDZ]

Name: Siegfried Roanoke

Race: Human

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance: Rowan is a tall man with a average frame and a muscular build. He has one icey blue eyes as well as upper-back length, black, messy hair. He's a pale-skin with a deep tan and scars covering his torso and arms. The strangest thing about his appearance is the birthmark on his forehead which resembles a third eye, one which becomes more prominent when he is more enraged. The last notable piece to his appearance is a brand on his upper right arm which resembles a jagged swirl.

Clothing/Armor: He wears red, tattered pants, a leather belt, a red, tattered shirt, leather boots and a black, tattered cloak. Over his clothes, he wears thin armor over his feet, shins and knees as well as bracers and a light chainmail. Around his neck he wears a circular locket with an ornate celtic design, inside of which is a picture of him as a child and a girl with their names, Siegfried and Brynhildr, scratched into the inside opposite the picture.

Weapons: Rowan wields a long broadsword with nothing special about it other than its extended handle, allowing him to switch from single hand and two hand wielding styles, which he keeps sheathed on the side of his backpack. His only other weapon is some sort of eastern dagger (similar to a scimitar) that he keeps sheathed at his left hip.

Alignment: NG

Skills/Abilities: He's proficient with longswords and bigger blades but has trouble with new weapons at first. He learns quickly how to use weapons. Very proficient at hunting and fishing as well as other survival skills. He knows how to work a forge well as he repairs his broken weapons and tries to keep the others from breaking.

Magic: The branding on his arm magically calls monsters and demons to him. Because of the dragon blood in him,

Backstory: He doesn't know much about his history other than the fact he's always fought monsters, his name and the girl. However, this is only a small part of the man.

When he was young, Siegfried spent much of his time running around the little northern village he'd grown up in with his best friend, Brynhildr. Other children would pick on him because he was smaller than them. Because of Brynhildr, he became braver, stronger and bigger. When he became of age, his village was attacked by a dragon, Fafnir, which he battled and defeated, accidentally swallowing a bit of the beast's blood and covering his wounds. Since then, he's been wandering, fighting, surviving, honing his skills and defending the weak.

@KazeXDZ well, I'm glad to see that you're still interested. I would rather cs's be posted when they're finished, or at the very least with a bit more information than what was copied and pasted :p

Let me know if there's anything I can help you with :)

[The Fated Fallen]

Sorry if my language has become a bit oldey worldey and my demeanour all the more sour. I have gotten back into Darkest Dungeon, enveloped by it's terrible maw of despair and wretchedness.

There can be no hope in this place, no hope at all...

[IcePezz]

@KazeXDZ I love the avatar btw

@The Fated Fallen

Darkest Dungeon is my shit. Triumphing over that adversity is the best part. If it was just impossible to win against the dark, then it'd just be pointless.

These nightmarish creatures can be felled, they can be beaten!

About Dragon's Dogma, the game seems pretty fun so far. It feels fun to do just about anything, run around and explore, attack, pick up vases and throw them off a cliff, climb up onto a hydra's neck and stab it until its head comes off. Also it's character creator is really in depth, but it works far better at being able to make characters look good than say Mass Effect or the Souls games. If there is something I think the game lacks, it's some sort of lock on feature and markers on the minimap for enemies you've engaged.

[The Fated Fallen]

You will arrive along the old road. It winds with a troubling serpent-like suggestion through the corrupted countryside; leading only I fear to ever more tenebrous places.

There is a sickness in the ancient pitted cobbles of the old road, and on it's writhing path you will face viciousness, violence and perhaps other damnably transcendent horrors.

So steel yourself and remember there can be no bravery without madness

The old road will take you to hell, but in that gaping abyss we will find our redemption

[Dragoknighte]

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

As the enemy crumbles, a faint hope blossoms.

Dazed, Reeling, about to break.

[The Fated Fallen]

The path is lit, the way is clear. We require only the strength to follow it

Now comes the true test. Hold fast, or expire

A moment of valour shines all the brighter against the backdrop of despair

[Dragoknighte]

Prodigious size alone does not dissuade the sharpened blade!

Without tools of iron, you must rely on flesh, and indefatigable purpose.

Glittering gold. Trinkets and purpose.

[The Fated Fallen]

Glittering gold, trinkets and baubles. Paid for in blood

The cost of preparedness. Paid now in gold... Later in blood

Elusive. Evasive. Persistent. Righteous traits for a rogue

[The Fated Fallen]

Shitposts... Awaaaaaaaay!!!

[Dragoknighte]

Is it really shitposting if it's quotes from Darkest Dungeon?
