@Lucidnonsense So, I was just wondering (for no reason...) what weaknesses your character has? It's pretty obvious what will kill humans and other such species, but it's pretty much up to you what poses a risk to your character. Do you think you'll go for the more traditional silver, salt, fire, etc. Or are you going to go for something a bit different?

Ok, so I expected to have the post up by today but there have been a few delays. I'll be working on it tomorrow and will definitely try to have it up by Sunday at the latest (although don't hold me to that.)
We won't be starting at the mountain, we'll be starting on the western border of the Old Country to give time for any late comers. But we aren't waiting for anybody to submit a character sheet so I think we can speed up the whole bit before the mountain and get pretty quickly to the action! Oh, with time before for people and characters to get to know each other before, of course...
I just want to get a quick idea now, is anyone going to be interested in being the GM for a dungeon? I don't think I mentioned it in the OOC which, I admit, was an oversight. So, here's the info from the interest check -

So, this is a dungeon crawler adventure RP where the players will have a large influence on what is going on. Each dungeon has a Lich, and each player will be given the opportunity to control a dungeon (though this would be optional), meaning that the players not only participate in the story, they can craft it.

If this is confusing then let me know and I can try and explain it better, or just ask if you have any other questions about it. Again, I repeat, this is optional (if you hadn't got the message).
Oh also, just as a last note, if you get bored waiting for the first post and want to keep 'involved' in the world, you could try adding a few extra sections to your character sheet. For example, fears, interests, illnesses, weaknesses, etc. Anything you can think of! Of course, this is purely optional, but it might help the GM of the dungeon make things more catered to your specific character and help make things a little more varied.

@Sigurd Well good luck with exams, hope to see you later on in the RP!

Empire of Bones

@Nevix That was a pleasure to read (and so nicely formatted!). Accepted, go ahead and add it to the character tab.

Empire of Bones

This announcement is for everyone!
We're waiting on maybe three or four people, but I want to make sure that the momentum that we've found today keeps going. So, I'll be posting the first IC post and getting the RP started on Friday - Monday this week, regardless of if everybody has submitted their character and it has been accepted. Don't worry though, if you don't have time or need a little more, we'll be starting at a tavern on the borders of the Old Country, and although it would be convenient to all meet there, if you can't get the character sheet done by Friday then you can hop in at any time before we enter the mountain.
Hope this is Ok. If anyone has any problems with this or anything else, just let me know.

Empire of Bones

@Lucidnonsense Haha ok, well this should make things... interesting (in a good way). Oh, if I didn't make it obvious before, go ahead and add your character to the character tab!

Empire of Bones

@Lucidnonsense Wow, well, Ok. There's not actually much mention of the lore at all, but neither is there anything that goes against the lore so... I guess it's accepted? Haha, I'm really curious to see how this plays out honestly, I'm looking forwards to seeing this character in action. One thing though, is there any way the other PCs or NPCs can see Emissary?

@Nevix That's great! Well, the OOC is up there, so feel free to go right on over there, etc, etc. There's more info over there, but if you want to know anything else just let me know!

@Disciple Cain
Ok well, I'm really sorry but I'm afraid I've already said that I changed a few things about the undead, as I wasn't happy with how things were before. The fact that you've ported it from the parent roleplay thread may be the source of the problem. Have you read over the new information about the Lich King's Curse?
Here, I possibly didn't explain things entirely well? Anything inside the mountain/the close surrounding area is converted to the Lich's army. Anything outside that caption area is not bound to the army, and is free to live however they choose. Inside the Old Country. The magic of the Lich is strongest inside the mountain (hence forcing all who are revived into the army), weaker throughout the rest of the Old Country (reviving but not recruiting) and non-existent outside of the Old Country. This means that the magic sustaining any undead does not last past the country, and therefore the undead cannot go across the borders. I've put a few more restrictions on the undead than the previous GM, because I feel that they have the potential to be greatly overpowered and I couldn't be happy with how it was, I'm sorry. I also don't want characters to be able to bypass any of those negative effects unless due to a very valid reason.
However, if you still feel that I do not understand, then would it be possible for you to give me a detailed reason why she is set apart from the others? I'm really really sorry for the trouble, I hope this isn't too off-putting...
Oh, also about the magic and all, that's absolutely fine, so long as you RP her so that she isn't overpowered. Again, I'm very sorry if I'm not fully getting what you mean, and for the hassle.

@Lucidnonsense Oh no no, we've only got one other necromancer so don't be deterred from going ahead with your plans! In fact, it would be interesting to see how the two would interact.

@Disciple Cain Kiarda seems like a great character and I'm looking forwards to seeing how you RP her. However, there are a few (small) things that I'm a little concerned about. The simple one is, I'm afraid undead can't travel outside of the Old Country -

Undead can be killed, if the neck is fully broken and the head removed. They will also be 'killed' if they leave the Old Country, as the curse that sustains them and gives them life does not reach any further than the country.

The other one is that, if she was fighting the Lich King while he had all his power, she must have been an impressive and skilled sorceress. I'd prefer the characters to all be of an equal, low level at the start, and so I'm a little worried that she might be a little overpowered at the start, especially compared to characters like dereken's. Maybe something happened to make her weaker and forget quite a few of her previous skills? If I've taken it the wrong way, let me know and I'd be more than happy to reconsider.
I think Kiarda has the potential to be a little overpowered, but I'm sure you'll do great with her and not abuse her power as a character. And I'm really sorry about this, and I've written a lot but you shouldn't have to change too much with her.

@Azereiah He seems very interesting, I'm almost scared to see how he interacts with everyone else! I think the same goes for you as Disciple about being aware not to make him too overpowered when facing enemies, but otherwise he's fine in that regard. If you want to find a picture then feel free, though don't feel it's absolutely necessary. Anyway, accepted - Go ahead and add him to the character tab. Great to have you on board!
