Rerun: Blackguards!

I'll wait for @Vertigo before posting!

Interest Check for Westerland Tales!

I'd say simple magic is uncommon and advanced magic is rare. There are no big magic schools like Hogwarts with hundreds of mages running about, but every town or city has a few mages. I guess adventurers would get to see a fair bit of magic, but to the common pigfarmer it'd be quite a novelty. Does that make sense?

How are you faring, friends? Does anyone need help with their character?

Rerun: Blackguards!

I will post again in a day or two. Whoever hasn't posted yet should try to get something up until then.

@TheMushroomLord I think your character looks very interesting! I like the addition of "low" or "common" magic to the lore (even if I want to stress that it isn't common as such - magic isn't an everyday thing in the Westerlands). If you have any idead about the place where your character has business, please send me a PM and we'll discuss it!

@CERO76 You're correct in your assumption that the short story about Lewen-Lar was just a thematic text to get the message across. But! That doesn't mean you can't use it. You're more than welcome to write a character with a mission based, or partially based, on finding the Stargem.

Hey people! Just wanted to say that I've read all your posts and that I try to keep myself updated. My little baby boy's got a bad fever out here in the real world and I need to take care of him before I can get back to business here. Keep going, though, I like what I've seen so far!

@CERO76 Hello there! You played in Shadow over Old Caledon, right? You're certainly welcome to apply :)

@Chrys Whatever makes for a better story is the correct approach. This is simply an early opportunity for you guys to write an action scene and explore how your characters would behave in a fight. There are no big bads here, so you're free to do what you think is best. I've tried to leave some openings for you regarding possible choices; Will the raiders want to fight you? Do you have to kill everyone, or could you take prisoners? Could you even try to run for it, hoping to slip away as the Sulfreyans (that your characters probably are unaware of - unless someone saw the wyvern above) mow down the barbarians?

All of that is pretty much up to you. Follow the Hierarchy of Content and you should do just fine. Discuss things you're uncertain about in the OOC. What would be the coolest outcome of the situation?

Does that answer your question?

@Daxam Maybe check out my other game, Westerland Tales? It's not the same story, but it is the same setting!
