[OOC] Dungeon Crawling Adventure

[VitaVitaAR]

As promised, the RP is up!

[Boomrocker]

@Boomrocker: That seems like a good start, write it up and we'll see how it goes.

@VitaVitaAR

Done. Please confirm no additional changes are required.

[VitaVitaAR]

He's accepted.

[Raineh Daze]

I'm presuming harpies are lactose intolerant. Where the fuck would you find and tame cows with no hands in the mountains? Goats aren't THAT much better. XD

[VitaVitaAR]

@Boomrocker: While it does make sense, I would have liked if you asked before putting him in the same group to start with as Tanya. The only reason Sophia's there is because it was discussed beforehand.

@Scrapula: I'm not entirely sure why she's already at the dungeon. ^^; I mean, it's not like it's unknown(later IC posts will detail how only the lower two levels are mostly untouched), but it's going to be a bit before everyone else gets there and I haven't really described it yet.

[Scrapula]

Presumably, the first floor or so is standard castle and dungeon fare, right? Fieri, being largely outclassed and unwilling to stray too far from the entrance, won't get to the weird stuff until she has a reliable customer base (i.e. the rest of the party).

Fieri heard of the castle's wealth, popularity, and spectacular ease of looting from someone who has experienced it firsthand, and recognized the mercantile opportunity in the making.

[VitaVitaAR]

The reasoning is fine, it's just that she won't have anyone to interact with until the party gets together and travels there. ^^;

@Scrapula

The thing is, you're nowhere near anyone else, and it means going into detail about the castle whilst everyone but you's there. Better to meet the other characters than go dungeoneering alone.

[Scrapula]

Inferring and describing the architecture and decorations of a long-defunct castle is child's play, and most likely can't impact the lower levels in any meaningful way. Plenty of mortar, plenty of dust, plenty of rotten wood and maybe one or two goblins. Fieri's planning on making her immediate area as safe as possible, and immediately going to set up a storefront. At the cutting edge of mercantilism, there's no way for her to lose in today's cutthroat economy!

@Scrapula

This assumes an open front door. Regardless, this is a party based roleplay. There's no justification for going off alone to do something alone in your first post. :/

[VitaVitaAR]

Again, the reasoning she has isn't bad(though going through the front door is not a good idea for reasons I would be getting to when arriving at the ruins comes up). It's just that you're not going to have anyone to interact with until everyone gets together and arrives there.

[Scrapula]

I'm not quite sure what's with this hostility from you, Raineh. Everything is going to be fine and dandy. Fieri meeting and presumably joining up with the party is a foregone conclusion: she's where the party is going. Since the castle is notorious for being raidable by parties of adventurers, the entrance is almost certainly, if not open, then at least openable with only a modicum of effort. She'll trip the trap at the entrance, and either get stuck or be in need of help, and that's an excellent opportunity to roleplaying and building character relations.

@VitaVitaAR

My apologies. I was over-eager.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Scrapula: Well, the entrance is sealed, but there's a way in from the side. Still, I'd like if I didn't get to describing the dungeon until it was actually entered by the party as a whole in order to keep things a surprise.

I'm still worried about you not having much to post for a while, but if you want her to be waiting there anticipating raid attempts maybe she sets up shop directly outside?

[Scrapula]

For the sake of maintaining my character's scruples and making it so that the party can reach the lower levels that much more quickly, I think I'd prefer to have Fieri find her own way in, and meet with the party later. She can find something to do on her own-- all she needs is a place to start artificing.

[Scarifar]

Now remember @Descartes and @IncredibleBee, don't speedpost and leave everyone else behind.

Also, Bee, unless you've discussed the whole arm wrestling result with Descartes, perhaps you should refrain from auto-responding to other people's characters, even if you are a ridiculously muscly person.

[VitaVitaAR]

I have to agree there, though I've made my own post as well. I'd going to request an edit, and once there's an edit I'll change my post as well.

[Descartes]

I'm fine with my girl being tossed around.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Scarifar: I kind of had Tanya direct Leander to Sophia so that he could get filled in on the situation. ^^;

@Descartes: I'm kind of surprised you went for a bad injury like that already.

[Scarifar]

@VitaVitaAR There, that should, probably, fix it.
