Who Are You To Judge?
~@The Irish Tree (MAG)~

"E-Err...well, um...I-If you're sure that this is his "lover", then...I suppose it'd be best for me to go get him from his farm. I'm a bit too big to ride a horse to begin with. Thank you though, ma'am! I-I'm sure he'll be happy to have Sally returned to him. Do you mind keeping her here a while longer? I'd just be a few hours,"

Magnus Eissenhoeff

"Ah, don't worry about that, sir. I'll just get my husband to ride Sally to Jeb. He's an old friend of ours, anyhow. Is he still at his farm in Ambran?" The Holstaur offered a more convenient approach. "We'll just deliver any reward to you in a day or two. Ah, may I ask who you are and where you live?"

Noticing your disbelief at the revelation, the Holstaur added a remark. "Yeah, life in Ambran does these kinds of things to people. I should know, my uncle-in-law raised goats."

"T-That um...Salamander...s-she wouldn't...hurt anybody too bad, right?"

Magnus Eissenhoeff

"Eh? Your friend is actually looking for a fight? I thought she was just--"

~@The Irish Tree (MAG), @Enkryption~

Magnus and the Holstaur's conversation was interrupted by the arrival of a fearsome warrior clad in hellish armor resembling that of the Hellhound monster. The smell of of sulfur made it seem like that the armor really was forged in the deep depths of Inferno itself. The sudden appearance was enough to scare the Holstaur as she fell silent beholding the newly-armored Annalise.

"Jesse!" The man who found Annalise earlier emerged from behind the Mimic Slime. "I-I'm not sure what to make of this. I found her clad in armor near a well and then she threw herself in it and then she came back out like this and then she made her way here. It's all so weird." The man quickly told the Holstaur, named Jesse.

"What?! Nero, I don't understa--" The Holstaur stopped herself before finally realizing who the apparent newcomer was. "Oh, I see. Looks like you're ready for a fight." Jesse remarked, still a little afraid but she had now understood the situation. Eyeing Nero, she continued. "Why don't you fight Nero over here? He's a warrior, a former knight of the Order and has seen many battles in his tenure."

"Wha? Jesse, please. I've left that life behind. I'm a simple assistant now. Besides, I'm a little rusty now."

Liberation At Any Price
~@The Irish Tree (NEP)~

"So, what is your plan, then? If need be I can have this entire town covered in fog within an hour. And, how broken do you want the Varjans to be?"

Nephele Francine Megalos III

"No, if they reach the town, it would already be too late." Felipe shot down your plan. "We must take them down at the pass that is south of Sonarra. Come, ate! We shall take you there."

-----

Embarking on a wagon, you rode to the south. Your fellow passenger was a surprise, a Joyful, like the one you fought and killed while protecting the armless Ian. But this one was on your side and so sat across you idly. Should you stare at his grotesque mutations, the Joyful would not mind. It even appeared he was also fascinated by you but his helmet hid his eyes.

Soon you were out of Sonarra and into the Varjan countryside. The land was dark and foreboding. Bones and skeletons could be seen waylaid across the fields. Those that still had flesh left were pecked on by crows or nibbled by rats and other such vermin. Riding alongside you were a large group of Sonarran rebels, warriors and horsemen. You soon realize that their gear resembled Varjan gear heavily, being part of Varjo and all, so you might find it difficult to tell friend from foe.

Soon you were at the pass and the Sonarrans have begun digging in and setting up the ambush. Over yonder, just further south, you saw Varjo itself. Its high walls could not hide the dark spires and towers that jutted out of the blasted capital. The place radiated malice and hatred, madness and indulgence. A monument of Man surrendering to the devils in their hearts.

"Ate, you say you can produce a fog? I'm not sure if an ability is useful since it will also obscure our rebel warriors' sights." Felipe spoke to you. "Is there anything else you can do? Perhaps breath something else? If not, that is okay. I'm sure your strength alone will be a great asset in our ambush."

"Come, my dear. For now, we should go to the Archean gardens... Putting fire on it should be really easy... We wouldn't even need to get inside. But we will leave a small note to them though... After that, we will go to the Barensia Family manor..."

Bast Ragoczy

Eilidh nodded at your decision and followed.

The two of you head over to the manor of the Archaneans at the southern edges of Ambran. The manor itself was definitely that of a noble's, lavish and rich. It stood alone surrounded by low stone walls and steel gates. Hired guards were posted at the aforementioned gates and diligently did their jobs. The garden was likely located right behind the manor.

From a distance that did not warrant suspicion, Eilidh began. "We are to set fire to the garden, right? How are we gonna do that?" She asked as she continued to look at the Archaneans' abode. "However it is, we need to deal with the guards." She continued.

"Being what I am, I am afraid I am less than useless in a stealth approach." Eilidh said. "However, what I can do is provide a distraction so that you may be able to sneak in more easily. What do you say?" The Centaur awaited your answer.

The Great Escape
~@13org (FYR), @Restalaan (YNG), @AzureKnight (NAG & VRA), @Lmpkio (TCA)~

Titanica's mighty roar shifted the caravan's attention from Haley towards her. The troops were shaken before the awesome presence of the kaiju. The Order soldiers would have ran but the Paladin stepped forward atop his steed. "Stay strong, men! We are soldiers of the Order! Of the Chief God! We fear no monster! We only fear dishonor!"

And with that speech, the Order forces held with a proud yell. Their resolve was reinforced and battle was joined.

~@Lmpkio (TCA)~

Your atomic breath threw the Order forces into disarray. Three Footmen and three Knights were burned while some of the Knights were thrown off their horses, allowing the other guild members to be more effective.

"You three! To me!"

The Paladin and three of the knights rode forth to fight you. The three knights all thrust their lances at you but your hide proved to be stronger, deflecting the lances and almost breaking them. However, the Paladin's sword burned with holy fire and with a single swing, managed to crack the scales on your right leg. The pain may be bearable but he showed that he was able to harm you.

The knights and the Paladin circled you, searching for an opportunity for another strike while looking out for any counter attacks. However, an arrow shot and an ice shard almost hit the Paladin as his horse got startled, opening him up for attack.

~@Restalaan (YNG)~

The atomic breath from the dragon-like monster scattered the Order troops protecting the wagons and allowed you to wreak havoc.

As Footmen fell one by one to your martial prowess and Freyr's arrows, your search for the keys proved fruitless. The Order forces were beginning to regroup and the dismounted Knights approaching you looked like they could match you in combat.

"Ate!" Your attention was called by one of the prisoners. "Iyong susi na kay Krik!" He pointed to the red-armored Varjan Warlord. "Na kay Krik iyong susi! Iyong susi, ate! The keys!" The other prisoners repeated his words and also pointing at the Warlord. "Palayain niyo kami and we can help!"

You saw the Warlord block an arrow shot and ice shard with his shield which he soon discarded, feeling it useless. "Get them! Someone get them! What are your horses for?!" He angrily barked at the still-mounted Knights. "Go! Go! Attack! Have no fear! I shall guard the prisoners!"

Seeing you, he pointed his sword at you. "You! You dare test yourself against Krik the Beheader?!" He challenged you. However, you sense a bit of fear in his words.

~@13org (FYR), @AzureKnight (NAG)~

Freyr and Nagare's attacks have supported Yang as the monk battled her way through the Footmen and the dismounted Knights.

"Freyr! You two have incoming!" Haley shouted from above. And like she said, some five Knights have made their way to Freyr and Nagare's position. Their lances held high and with a battle cry, their speed picked up. "Freyr! Nagare! Look out!"

The two monsters were about to be impaled by the Knights' sharp lances if they don't do something about it.

~@AzureKnight (VRA)~

As you stood dumbfounded by Titanica's power, you watched the battle unfold with Titanica fighting the Paladin and three knights while the other guild members fought the rest of the Order prison caravan.

You and Neil were at a distance from the battlefield. It seem it would be safe to--

"VARĂ, WATCH OUT!"

You heard Neil yell at you from behind. You turn around just to narrowly evade a spear thrust from a stray Footman. Despite evading the attack, you still stumbled to the ground after losing your footing. The Footman was about to thrust his spear again when someone tackled him to the ground and saving you from death. Or at least a lot of pain.

That someone was Neil and you watched him and the Footman wrestle and fight. The Footman may just be a Footman but he was still a bit of a fighter, something that Neil was not. The Footman gained the upper hand and with one punch to the face, he managed to stun Neil long enough for him to pick up his spear and attack the boy.

Neil recovered but he found himself holding the spear from piercing his body. His strength was not enough and the spearhead inched ever closer to his face.

Fetch Quest
~@Lmpkio (MOR)~

"I think we should wait. As long as we keep low and stay out of sight, I think they shouldn't see us..."

Morgan

"Alright then." Ian replied briefly. Thus, the trio waited, watching the Wardogs for any sign of major movement.

After several minutes, the pack began to move and leave the area. "Well, they're moving out. Let's get moving too." The mercenary knight went in once the pack was completely gone and began gathering the herb ingredients into a sack. Albeit slowly and carefully. "These things are pretty fragile so one needs care and finesse when extracting them."

"You know, you and your guild are starting to make a name for yourselves around here. The usual pub talk has you guys as one of the topics. I was there when your guild started, you know? I wasn't there-there but I was one of the first request posters. You guys grow up so fast..."

While Ian began to ramble, you then come face to face with a lone Wardog who apparently strayed from the pack. The hound stared at you for a second before pouncing on you, its sharp teeth trying to get a bite on your neck. "Hey, you guys alright there? Can't really turn around since these things require lots of attention."

Ambran First
~@Restalaan (DIT)~

"So where's the Zip-pant-geese are?"

Ditzy Stoneclub

"They're currently in a theater nearby. Come on, we've no time to waste!"

The two men led you inside Ambran and past its busy streets. The town had not changed much since your last visit. It was still the same, home to all sorts of merchants and strangers. You and the two men eventually reach what seemed to be a theater house. "This is the place. Get ready."

Ioseb then pointed. "вон там!"

From the theater house emerged a trio of men dressed in foreign, Eastern clothes and in their hands were various exotic instruments. "There! Get them!" The three Zipanguese men immediately noticed that they were a target for some reason and, feeling threatened, began to flee. "They're trying to escape!"

"Mister Stoneclub, do something before they get away!"

~~~ @A Lowly Wretch ~~~

Varjan slowed to a stop once you disappeared into the shadows and emerged back on top of a pillar right behind him.

The boy lazily crossed his arms as he stared at you from down below. He made no other move. No move to force you to come down nor a move to bring himself to your level. There was not even a move to attack you. Varjan simply stood there as he looked back at you. Whatever his previous plan was, he was not following it up or making another plan.

The audience began booing as the stare-off continued. They then began yelling that you should come down and fight. They were calling you a coward and a pushover. They suggested that you forfeit the match if you were not going to fight Varjan. Basically, they were making fun of you and simultaneously praising Varjan for seemingly scaring you.

Varjan was silent as he patiently waited for you to make your next move.

~~~ @Rune_Alchemist, @AzureKnight (LIS) ~~~

Seleth attempted to mislead Lisianthus with her Mock Souls. However, the Princess shot orbs of light at all of them. Fortunately for Seleth, she had cast Aylama's Mirror on herself so the orb of light bounced harmlessly off the barrier and into the ground, creating a small explosion and throwing up some dust.

Meanwhile, the Mock Souls of the Dark Elf all cast Shadow Weight aimed at Lisianthus but the Princess was nothing if quick. She was able to cast Reflect and protect herself from the dark spells. The shadowy orbs bounced into the ground and threw up a lot of dust, enough to obscure the vision of both fighters of each other.

Despite the difference in position, Seleth and Lisianthus were apparently evenly matched. This development gave the audience much excitement, praise given to both sides of the fight.

Southern Gate Town

~~~ @AzureKnight (ENI), @Polaris North (FAY), @CitrusArms ~~~

Before a decision could be made, a scene occurred near Juan de la Cruz's carriage.

A lady in a pink, frilly, fancy dress with an equally fancy umbrella bumped into a person in a black cloak. The lady tore the black-cloaked person a new one although the tone called to question the lady's true gender. Regardless, the lady lifted her skirt only to reveal she had armor beneath and had weapons attached under the skirt itself. The lady chose a sword and began attacking.

All this caught the crowds' attention. Even Juan's carriage stopped. It would be a prime opportunity to seize Juan but then, a probably innocent person was being accosted.

~~~ @AzureKnight (HIS) ~~~

Why are...you wearing that silly outfit? If people see you in that, they might start to get the wrong idea."💧

Hisana

"Oh don't worry, hon. They're not getting the wrong ide--"

Keith's reply was stopped short when he bumped into a person wearing strange clothes.

~~~ @ZAVAZggg ~~~

You find yourself wandering Zauberheim, the capital city of Razelia and enjoying the sights and sounds and services that the current festivities offered. Said festival was about an annual tournament in Seraph Academy where students and outsiders compete against one another in order to test the students' abilities and show them new ways and approaches regarding magic.

The tournament was currently ongoing and from what you heard, it was the semifinals. Perhaps you could catch a seat for the grand finals in the near future?

But for now, you were at Zauberheim's southern gate town. Then you bumped into a... lady?

~~~ @AzureKnight (HIS), @ZAVAZggg ~~~

Having bumped into Rimlian, Keith-in-a-frilly-dress was quickly offended. "Ugh! How dare you, sir?! To bump into a respectable lady like myself and not apologize immediately?" Keith assumed his most 'pompous lady' tone in addressing Rimlian. "I daresay you should be--"

The mercenary dropped his tone once he examined Rimlian more closely. "Say Hisana, doesn't this guy look like that Enishi guy you were talking about?" Keith asked his literal partner-in-crime. "Well whatever, he looks like he's one of the bobbies and is probably going to arrest Juan. Let's frag 'im."

Keith then lifted his skirt to reveal several weapons attached to it. The weirdly-dressed mercenary then grabbed a sword and attacked Rimlian with it, starting with a quick thrust aimed to the chest.

Sorta interested in being a co-GM. It's just that I'm not sure how to mix these genres together and get something out of it.

I must ask: How big are the mechs? Gundam-sized like the ones in Code Geass or are they a bit smaller or just moderately taller than a human? Besides that, are other Dead Space features also present like The Markers?

The 'Character Sheet' as we know it needs to die.

I guess I should clarify: I don't want to kill off all character sheets for good - just the character sheet "as we know it." That is to say, the usual copy/pasted skeleton with vague "personality" entries and superfluous details. I don't want to abolish sheets for abolishment's sake, but try to get folks to think about their characters and roleplaying in a different way, and encourage a more 'literary,' story-centric approach.

@Aristo

There is no 'character sheet as we know it'.

RPs all have various forms of character sheets that depend on the genre and features of an RP as well as how the GM wants to run it. Sure, some CSs are copy/paste of other CSs but there's no universal CS that all other CSs stem from.

Also, what's the point of encouraging roleplayers to approach an RP in a literary, story-centric RP? Barring some exceptions (and even that could be argued), isn't that the point of Roleplaying?

Who Are You To Judge?
~@The Irish Tree (MAG)~

"S-Sorry. What I meant to say was...we're looking for Jeb's lover. The job he sent to our guild said that she had been kidnapped, and we figured that if he came here, someone was bound to know his wife...girlfriend...lady friend. We didn't want to waste time in case she was in danger is all."

Magnus Eissenhoeff

"I see." Ignoring Annalise, the Holstaur began wondering. "Although, I don't know any-- Oh. Oh. I-I think I know who he's looking for." The cow monster realized. "Follow me, sir. Let me show you Jeb's kidnapped lady friend."

You and the Holstaur walk to an isolated farm just outside of Boreal Port, passing by an area that appeared to be an abandoned part of the town. The Holstaur lead you to the farm's stables where there was a healthy horse of brown hide and white mane. "Sir, let me introduce you to Sally." The cow monster motioned to the horse. "Yes, it's the horse."

"This is Jeb's kidnapped lady friend. Me and my husband bought her from a traveling merchant when we recognized her. She was probably stolen from Jeb since you're here." The Holstaur continued. "Nice to know Jeb's still looking for her... I think. What are you going to do now, sir?"

~@Enkryption~

Having excused yourself to find a secluded spot, you find yourself an area that had a well nearby but without a soul in the vicinity.

But not for long though, a person appeared. A human male in plain, villager clothes with fair skin and short, golden hair. His eyes were a clear blue and had a muscular, above-average build. In his hands was a wooden pail so he was likely there to retrieve some water from the well.

"Oh, hello there." He innocently greeted you. "I hope you're not here to cause trouble since you look like you're armed for battle and all." The man did not seem to be that wary of you despite your appearance. He then noticed that your armor was shifting into you. "Are you alright?"

"Now that you know a bit about the current situation, who do you want to side with? We will get paid regardless of our choice, so..."

Bast Ragoczy

"Wait, if we were hired by this Lady Natalia, why would we be paid by this Lady Natasha?" Eilidh asked, confused.

"Anyway, sounds to me like these two have been going at it for a long time." The Centaur bluntly gave her thoughts. "I really can't sympathize with either of them if all they do is tear each other down while proclaiming that they're in the right." She disdained the two houses. Eilidh was clearly unhappy right now but it seemed that it was not at the situation itself.

"I don't know. I can't choose." Eilidh finished. "You're wiser than me. What do you think we should do." Yet, everytime she looked at you, there was an earnest, bright smile on her face.

Liberation, At Any Price
~@The Irish Tree (NEP)~

"I am indeed from the guild...though, shouldn't you keep your voice down? I haven't personally had much experience with Emilio, but members of our guild have spoken of him."

Nephele Francine Megalos III

"I see, I see. Emilio, himself, has also talked about your guild. He said that you are friends of Sonarra!" Felipe laughed heartily. "And don't worry about eavesdroppers. The loyalists usually stay in their garrison at the southernmost part of the town since the entire town is actually against them. Besides, even if there were, what're they gonna do?" Felipe and his men laughed again.

A waiter approached and wiped the table clean. "Bring us some ale." Felipe ordered.

"So, what exactly do you need doing, Mr. Felipe? I was under the impression that you had..."work", for me, but if it is so easy to walk about, it feels strange you should need my help. For now, in public, Yes, I am indeed from a "caravan" sent to deliver supplies."

Nephele Francine Megalos III

"The Varjans have seized the poor Sonarrans by the throat... and trying to destroy our way of life." Felipe began. "The people are scared, confused. Some of the Sonarrans think of joining Varjo since they have no hope for the town." He then firmly declared. "We must show them that Varjo is not invincible. That Sonarra can be free from its reign of terror!"

"We've received word that there is a small contingent of Varjan troops heading to the garrison to reinforce it." The waiter from earlier came back with two mugs of strong ale. "We must not let it be. We must show that the Varjans can be broken and that the Sonarrans are strong." Felipe then grabbed a mug and raised it towards you, inviting you to toast.

"What do you say, ate? Are you with us?"

The Great Escape
~@Lmpkio (TCA), @AzureKnight (VRA)~

"It must've been a dream. Now get up. We're leaving in half-an-hour."

Titanica

"It's like Titanica said, it was all just in your imagination..."

Vară

Neil paused at the responses before nodding. The boy did not appear to believe Vară or Titanica but he was willing to accept the lie. Perhaps for the same reasons they did.

------

After they were done washing themselves of last night and anymore pains taken care of, the three guild members began the walk back to their guild. Neil followed behind Vară and Titanica, and just as silent as the latter two likely were.

The awkward silence was not to last, however. Once they were on the road below Valoras Woods, they encounter what appeared to be a caravan of human soldiers and knights. On a closer look, however, the traveling troops were actually a prisoner caravan. Wagons with cages filled with prisoners were surrounded by Order footmen and mounted knights. The troops all diligently marched forward and so, did not notice the three guild members behind them.

Moments later, the entire caravan stopped and a familiar voice was heard. "Halt evildoers! You shall not take another step!"

~@13org (FYR), @Restalaan (YNG), @AzureKnight (NAG)~

"I'm concerned that they wouldn't see reason with you and simply fire an arrow towards you."

Yang Bethlehem

"Haley, do what you can, but promise me you will get out of there as soon as things start to get dangerous. Neither me nor Yang can do anything if they start shooting arrows at you."

Freyr

"I don't see any bowmen with them so they're gonna have to chase me if they want to get frisky." Haley assured Yang. Her shaky tone indicated that she was likely assuring herself too. "Let's do this."

Once everyone was ready, Haley took to the sky before landing in front of the prison caravan in a rather dramatic fashion. "Halt evildoers! You shall not take another step!" The Siren raised a wing to stop the caravan. Which it did. "You have wrongly imprisoned these prisoners! And I, as a bird of justice, demand... justice!"

The Order Paladin and the Varjan Warlord drew their swords, the former beginning to converse with Haley and becoming distracted. The rest of the caravan also readied up, the footmen raising their shields and spears and the knights gripping their lances. Their attention, however, was all focused on Haley. On this seemingly delusional monster who thinks she can take on an entire caravan.

The bait was taken and now the trap must be sprung.

Fetch Quest
~@Lmpkio (MOR), @ShwiggityShwah~

The trio reached Lokdar Swamp in a short amount of time, having flown there and all. Ian requested to land at the edge since he had more to say.

The wetland was nothing special. Some wooden walkways were present to help those who, for some reason or another, have to traverse the swamp. Ian, despite his heavy armor, expertly traversed the wetland and guided Ozzy and Morgan so that neither of them took dirt or water in places that they likely did not want to have dirt or water in.

"By the by, we're here to collect some grass. Don't know what they're called though. They glow so they shouldn't be too hard to miss." Ian explained the mission. "That, and some berries. They sparkle so again, not really hard to miss." He continued as you two moved into moist but still firm soil. "You'd think I'd just grab some yeast to make the wine but I'm experimenting here so anything shiny goes!"

"Also, let me tell you about--" Ian suddenly stopped and pushed both Ozzy and Morgan behind a fallen log. He motioned to be silent to them before pointing to a pack of fierce-looking and strange-looking dogs or wolves. "Varjan Wardogs." Ian whispered. "Nasty stuff. Can't be pacified with just chicken."

"This pack seems to have been released. Can't see their handler anywhere." Ian said. "These guys must be just roaming around for food. Hopefully said food ain't us." He told the guild members before glancing over the log once more and spotting something.

"Look over there!" Ian pointed to a patch of glowing grass with a bush of shining berries nearby. "It's the stuff I need. Good thing these Wardogs are pure carnivore or else we'll have to be worried more. Hehehe." The knight-mercenary chuckled at his own dark joke.

"So how do you wanna do this, you two? Do you wanna go in there, wings blazing or do you wanna play the waiting game and let them pass?"

Ambran First
~@Restalaan (DIT)~

"Hello, I'm Ditzy Stoneclub! I'm here from the guild to help Ambran be first!"

Ditzy Stoneclub

You were ignored when the other man stepped up and patted the foreign-speaking man in the back. "Very good, Ioseb. We'll make a civilian protector of our town's borders from undesirable elements of you yet." He praised the man you were speaking to.

"Sorry about that, little guy. Just a... training exercise." He then apologized to you. "You see, there's a real problem here. It's a disaster!" He exclaimed at you. "Well-motivated people eager to do any job to support their loved ones are flooding into this town and unwilling to adopt our culture."

Ioseb nodded. "да!"

"And that's why we formed... Ambran First!" The man and the foreign fellow named Ioseb then saluted to you. "But there's only us, Mister Stoneclub, so we are forced to hire your guild's shady, clandestine aid." He continued. "We have received word that there are Zipanguese men here doing their... Zipanguese stuff."

"Mister Stoneclub, are you ready to join us in keeping Ambran first?"
