The Obivec Isles: Battle for Abbaden [Lore Rich, Lots to Explore]

I got back from working until like 3 in the morning last night and since noon today...

@rivaan I think it's your turn to post for the Falkegroup? Otherwise I can make a Beccapost when I'm less dead.

“Very well then.” Serena said, easing up somewhat as she and her student packed up their belongings. The fire was extinguished by a sharp gust of wind before they left. Veronica sighed, trying to clear her head. That was supposed to be how you did it; let your thoughts be occupied by nothing but the warmth of sunshine or gentle admiration for the beauty of the night sky. She had trouble with this, and it was one of the few problems that Serena or even Aegea had no wisdom for. It only ended up frustrating her even more. She noticed that Tirnea seemed to be having trouble dealing with the cold. Perhaps she didn’t pack warmer clothes? She’d have to ask after they got to town.

The journey to the capitol city of Twilight Fields was somewhat refreshingly uneventful. But not dull, at least to Veronica. She was in familiar territory, and she took more passion in taking in the sights and smaller details of her surroundings. Of particular interest to her was the bridge leading across the river separating them from the city. She told the rest of the group of how, on the occasional night or uneventful day in her youth, she would come to that bridge to practice singing, her sister often pretending to study nearby in an attempt to avoid getting roped into joining her. Serena would prefer to stand silently, staring off into the grand tower in the distance or the flowing waters of the river.

The city itself was fairly normal when they finally reached it. Well, normal for Twilight Fields. The various Crescent Sun acolytes and officials moved to and fro alongside animate suits of armor, but they were all on their usual business. The observatory tower that served as the Order’s base of operations stood over the rest of the settlement, a clocklike face denoting the phase of the moon and prominent stars and constellations for the night. A set of guards stood at the tower’s entrance; two mages and two suits of armor, the latter armed with spears and a longsword sheathed at their sides.

“It’s a nice city,” Veronica said. “Just be sure not to rock the boat. Especially if it’s about the faith.” Her teacher frowned, masking her contempt.

“Well,” Serena answered. “We will need to prod around somewhat if we are to find that vampire… May as well start asking for more information.” She moved onwards, scanning everything she saw for something that might hold promising information. She hoped that this would not end up being a wild goose chase.

Hey, I'm interested in joining, but I'm not sure where I should have my character start off. Where do you guys think a wandering mage/spearman whose entire goal is to create peace between the numerous factions of Abbaden.

Also, alternatively, are there smaller wyvern type dragons in this world, because I didn't see them in the creatures section of the lore, but I reckon being a wyvern rider would be fun.

@Rabidporcupine

I can't imagine there would be an abundance of them given all the monster hunting but I don't think it's impossible. I've gotta leave in a bit so I can't answer everything right now but if you wanna PM us your ideas we might be able to work something out.

Also I have a question for everyone: Should I condense my posts at all?

@Crosswire

I actually really like all the extra maps and little diagrams and details and stuff, so probably not. All the additional stuff makes it really charming.

So it turns out that like as soon as I was all dressed up and on my way over there, they called me and told me that they had to reschedule the interview for tomorrow.

“Very well then.” Serena said, chugging the rest of her drink. She disappeared into the tent with her bag, curling up and closing her eyes as she rested against the covered ground. She pretended that Veronica did not wake her up when the knightess trudged her way into the tent herself.

Serena awoke slowly. Veronica was not there. This was likely to be quite the morning. She grabbed her flask again, took a drink… well, tried to. There was nothing left. She wasn’t at the cathedral anymore; she wouldn’t be able to order her special brew any time soon. Maybe she could find something in Twilight Fields, if she was lucky…

The warrior touched up hair and makeup by the reflection of her sword before she left the tent. It was rather early in the morning, the sun only barely rising above the horizon. She found Tirnea by the fire, and by the sound of it Veronica was off “training” again as well.

“I hope you found a good night’s rest, Tirnea,” Serena said. “Would you like me to prepare breakfast now, or shall we wait until-” she was cut off by the burst and crackle of flames, which were quickly cut off by a wave of Serena’s hand and a strong yet soothing gust of wind. Veronica poked her head out from behind the tent.

“Or shall we wait until we reach town.” Serena finished, her voice ever so slightly more firm. She turned her gaze to her student, who looked down in some form of apology.



“WHAT YEAH THE REPORT’LL BE DONE IN TWENTY-” Rebecca said, awaking suddenly. Her energy suddenly faded as she adjusted to the situation. She did not fall asleep at her desk. There was no coffee. There was no extra reports to finish. Wait… there was no coffee. Damn it all…

Rebecca rose to her feet with a yawn. How in the world Chambala managed to be so awake was an enigma to her; she’d gone to sleep after the researcher did, as far as she knew. Maybe it was another trick of hers. She’d have to ask later.

The researcher threw on her coat, slapped on her cap, adjusted them both, and carefully checked on her case before slinging it over her shoulder. Even if she hadn’t slept all that well, she was going to make some real progress today. With any luck, she’d get to see her hometown, turn in her report, and get ready to head back to the comfort of her lab and her study before the day was done. Rebecca took some of the food she had stored away and began eating as she left the room, trying to get those gears in her brain turning the way they were yesterday.

“I’m ready,” Rebecca said to her friend in between bites. “Did they say where we were supposed to meet up?”

Yeah sorry, it's just been taking me a while to get back into the swing of being productive after getting out a rough patch. I've got a job interview tomorrow but I'll get something up tonight.

The Obivec Isles: Battle for Abbaden [Lore Rich, Lots to Explore]

I'm not really sure what to do with Jumper other than to have him wander back to town or some city. I mean, I can have him do that, but anyone else have any ideas?

@LegionPothIX

Sorry for the late response, but I think going back to town might be a good idea. I can't recall if Autumn is back there or in a different town in Twilight Fields, but both groups are headed towards the capitol and I think the TdR one is going to be there soon-ish.

The Courier sighed as she let the tune wash over her. Sounded like something that might have been playing on the radio back home, but at the same time, it felt a little too different to fit in with those. Just where was she? Didn’t stop it from being so soothing, though…

Until it was so rudely interrupted.

“I was listening to the music, asshole!” Chance snapped reflexively. It wouldn’t do any good; the Pip-Boy didn’t even have a microphone as far as she knew. Still, she listened to them talk and promptly began fiddling with the radio again when they stopped talking.

“Come on, there has to be a way to get that tune back…” She muttered. They didn’t have songs and important communications on the same channel, did they? For all she knew, they might. That accent certainly wasn’t anything familiar to her, could be some backwards cultural thing. She eventually gave up, shutting the radio off again.

“Welp,” Chance said. “I’m gonna check ahead, see if I can manage to not get shot by those guys. You all planning on milling around here any longer?” The Merchant shrugged. She started heading down the solitary path to the south, staring at the greenery with an odd disdain. Hopefully there weren’t any horrible plant monsters around here, either.
