From Afar - Prehistory meets Alien Invasion

@DreamforgeI sure hope so. This looks like a lot of fun.

From Afar - Prehistory meets Alien Invasion

I like it. Good time period. Good villains. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. You have one player.

@Holy SoldierCheers, mate.

You need to read the fine print on the quests.

The Fat King only requires 3 people

Bridge Rat Infestation will involve the whole guild.

@Holy Soldier

all about quests from IC post 1

Quest Board

A RPG can't be complete without quests. The Quest Board can be found posted about town, leading to crazy plots either the entire party or a few party members can complete. Whoever decides to be the party leader must choose to pick who they want to go. Meanwhile, those not on quest can partake in other quests and shenanigans.

• The Fat King - "Oy, that Fat Willy up there on tha' bridge thinks he's jus' gonna let us rot! We, the Bridge Lords are gonna show his fat arse a thing or two. Y'see the slobs actualleh plannin' ta' leave his castle for once, and he's gonna leave his women at 'ome. Most ov'tha' guards gonna be escortin' tha' king, which means we're gonna sneak in, steal some loot, and some lovelies while we at it. Maybe use tha' gals fo' ransom!"
  King's Request: Guard the Queen and Princess.
  Difficulty (# of party members needed): 3
  Reward: Plenty of Gold to get the party to the next location comfortably, food, wine, and three days at an Inn.
  Level Up: Yes.
• Bridge Rat Infestation - "Help! They're everywhere and they're eaten us! Oh gods! What is that? A monster! Aargh!"
  Difficulty (# of party members needed): Everyone
  Level Up: Yes
  Reward: Rat King Skull (someone might want this); Rat King Heart (someone might want this)
• Stolen Daughter - "Please! Someone! The bandits took my daughter! Please, help!"
  Difficulty (# of party members needed): 1
  Level Up: Yes
  Reward: Health Potions x3
• Boss: Jack Johnson and the Bridge Lords - LOCKED

Some quests and their results will unlock other quests or more quests called Side Quests can appear. Some quests may permanently lock other quests, so be careful what you choose. When all quests for the area have been completed or if the party acquires enough funds to move on, then the party will do so to the next location.

@Holy Soldier

I read the fine print on the quests very carefully. As you can see above the amount of people needed are expressed clearly in number of party members. As we have three parties and three quests I tried to get the best assignment to the most proper party. Surely, that a quest requires a certain number of party members, means that this is the minimum amount, not the maximum. If not, please be more clear with the instructions in the future.
If you meant guild members instead of party members, it is an oversight and one of yours.
If you did mean guild members you've actively started a game where either all are pushed into the same quest, or not even half are given a task while the others wait.

As a player (and many times a GM) there are a few things I find unacceptable from the GM. One is being ignored, which has happened on three counts before the game even started despite use of the mentioning system. Another is being corrected for doing the correct thing based on the information provided.
I do not have a habit of abandoning games, quite the opposite, I often do more than my share. Do consider my words carefully.

I'm giving you guys an opportunity to do some party-chatting and stuff like that. My next post will begin with handing out the quests. My thoughts so far:

The Fat King - Party 1.
Bridge Rat Infestation - Party 2.
Stolen Daughter - Alexander.

I'll rewrite the quest text to suit Seth's way of speaking. If you really think that the parties should switch tasks tell me why and I promise I will read and at least consider it.
@Legion02 If you want to go with party 2, could you please tell me how Alexander would respond to Seth as he gives the quest? That way I can get it all into my next post so you don't have to write a whole post around the action of saying "I'd rather not" and then wait for me and/or the leader of Party 2 to reply before we can get on with it.

Mentioned:

Riding the wave of success for a second longer Seth used the momentum to really take control of the situation and continued to talk with a loud voice taking care to be heard by the whole group.
“For those of you who does not know me by name, I am Seth of Valeria. You could say that I am the orchestrator behind this little gathering from now on known as the Eye of the Storm guild. I have a list here... “ Seth started patting himself down to find the piece of paper “Aah, found it. I have had a look at all of you and put you in teams depending on your specialities. So, the teams are as follows; Party 1: No, Gwendolyn, Elel, Lizzy, Kerylun and myself.” Seth read each name carefully and looked around the room to identify the people one at a time. With a face to each name, communication should be easier.
“As leader of this guild and a fighting member I am going to take the role of leader of party 1 as well.” He looked at the gargoyle Kerylun and the elf Elel.

“Party 2: Keith, Reavus, Raven, P4NDA and Shama. Ideally you guys need a ranged fighter of some kind, but we will assign you something to do where range does not matter for now. Do not worry, I am looking at new recruits every day, so we should sort this out shortly. You will need to elect a leader to coordinate with me about the quests and other important issues... Alexander Salzar, you are on your own for the time being. I have a special mission in mind for you, but if you would rather join a group you can talk to the leader of party 2. But wait until we have had a chance to talk.”

Seth gave everyone a short while to let the teams sink in before he moved on to the quests.
“Alright, everyone, settle down. Now that we all know each other, I am going to hand out your assignments. Alexander, could you please come over? And who has been elected leader of party 2? Would you have a stroll over here?

So, question. As the player of the leader of the guild of the game.
How exactly do we do this?

I mean, we've all voted out of game about these things, and the groups are already made up. Will we have a short timeskip and just assume that the votes were cast in-game as well and go with it? If so, can't we assume that we simply agree on the teams as well?

If we're going to do this with in-game dialogue, voting and justification I can easily see this one thing lasting a week.

”Well, that went better than I thought” Seth thought to himself as he saw his words sink into the skulls of the two heated men, they almost appeared to shrink as the steam left them. The man left the room, a tad ashamed according to Seth, to check his room. As he stamped out Seth stood still in silence, breathing, thinking, trying to figure out the next move. The air was still a bit heavy with conflict and chaos. Someone had to try and get everyone sorted out, if the guild could not be left in the same room for more than a few minutes without a fight breaking out, then the guild was surely doomed.

The man… Barbarian… Seth made a mental note to ask for everyone’s name properly, identifying people based on primary characteristics would not only get old fast, but could wear down a patient man in no time. Anyway, he was only gone for a few seconds before a great crash could be heard from the rented rooms, followed by heavy footsteps. He came like a storm, rushing into the room and almost instantly assaulted a tavern worker who’d been daft enough to step out of the kitchen area when she heard the man screaming. As he picked her up by the throat Seth’s legs were moving, one hand on his sword, ready for battle. Guild or not, he could not allow such an unwarranted attack on a woman. Then a voice from behind stopped him dead in his tracks and sent a chill up his spine. So calm, yet with an unmistakeable dagger hidden behind the words. The barbarian heard it too, and once again the musclebound man seemed to shrink before Seth’s very eyes as the words chiseled away at his stubborn rage.

Seth turned to see that the words belonged to the elf with the bow. He hadn’t recognised her voice, but he could now clearly see that she was not simply another elf girl with a bow and mighty ideas about herself. Then the monster started shouting things which broke the spell on Seth and he twirled around so fast that he almost got a bit dizzy only to take in, all at once, the big, manly man in an apron that would’ve looked ridiculous on a five year old girl, sweeping the floor. It took all of his available concentration to keep himself from bursting into laugher, complete with pointing and knee-slapping. Somehow, with his lips firmly held shut with his teeth, Seth managed to keep quiet. At least until his brain could decode what the monster had shouted.

He’d only gotten a few steps, only just past the monster, which was a surprise to the knight of Valeria. In his mind he’d been almost there, sword half drawn, cut aimed at the barbarians outstretched arm. It had felt so close and real that he’d felt the weight of his sword in his hand. But there he stood, sword in the scabbard, only three or four steps away from where he’d been standing.

His closeness to the monster helped, and he was about to calmly ask the thing not to taunt a man who tried to right his wrongs, but was asked for his name before he could gather his mind into a complete sentence so he dropped it.
He flashed a smile at the monster, trying his best to not let its inhuman appearance get the better of him. He dipped into a deep bow before the great beast, one hand on his chest, the other holding the sword in place, and came up again talking.
“My name is Seth of Valeria, last knight of the house Valeria. I doubt you’ve heard of me or my family, for we are not native to these parts. “ He noticed the monster motioning him to sit down, but did not dare to get within range of those claws before he’d had a chance to evaluate the beast’s character.
“You know, this all reminds me of a verse I learned once in my younger days… Something like;
Oft, though their hearts lean towards one another,
friends are divided at table;
ever the source of strife 'twill be,
that guest will anger guest.”

He was about to prod the beast about how he and the burly man may be more alike than apart, but as soon as he’d recited the verse two voices were raised, calling for the guild meeting to start. They were right of course, it was the whole point of them all being in the same place. They were banding together for money and fame, easier won as a group than alone.
“Quite right, you two” He said aloud as he turned away from the beast. “We’re all here for that meeting, so let’s all settle down and get to it, shall we?” He glanced over to the burly man in the apron just to make sure he could be heard clearly even that far away.
“If you don’t mind me taking the proverbial first step here… We need to do two things to begin with…” He held up two fingers, counting down as he spoke “One, divide us into suitable teams to tackle quests as efficient as possible. And two elect leaders for said teams that decide which quests, tactics and team members are best suited. All agree?”

@Fetzen Thanks. I must've read that part too quickly. Fixed it.
