“…Did you find anything at all?”
"Look at me, I am now a wizard, Sharon!" Lord Greymoon called out. Having disappeared into the small tunnel on the balcony above, the human lord suddenly re emerged and held two pieces of a chopped darkwood staff. He he waved them through the air, before suddenly throwing them down on to the floor where they rolled around at the party's feet.
Sharon seemed to be the only person in the room to react to Greymoon throwing the staff off the balcony, as the High Elf immediately jumped back instinctively as both pieces of the staff clattered against the stone floor.
"Richard, have you lost your mind?! You DO NOT THROW MAGICAL ARTIFACTS AROUND LIKE THAT!" Sharon called back angrily, before staring down at the broken staff lying on the floor.
"You could have cursed us all... "
"Sorry!"
Thankfully, Lord Greymoon's primitive handling of the magical staff didn't seem to have caused any major catastrophy. Sharon walked over to the broken pieces and picked the piece with the shaft up. He studied the dark wood and shaft, and he saw a purple gem fixed between warped wood at the end of the staff. Peering closely at the jewelry, he noticed a slight, white mist shifting calmly back and forth in the gem. As he held the shaft closer to his face, he could see the white fog inside the gem slowly move towards him as it scraped against the surface of the gem in his direction.
Moving the staff away from him again, Sharon turned back to the group.
"A staff of the unholy. Presumably from the death discipline."
"I found a small room up here as well, Sharon. Books and scrolls. Looks like a storage of some sort." Greymoon called back down to Sharon. The High Elf nodded, before peering around in the dark room they stood in.
"If this is what I think it is... " Sharon muttered, before raising his own silver staff.
Walking towards the center of the room, Sharon muttered an enchantment as he went, before slowly moving his staff through the air around him over the floor.
A low humming noise could suddenly be heard in the room, as glowing, green signs began to appear on the surface of the floor. They seemed washed and spread out, but they roughly represented various patterns of circles, letters and signs written around. They seemed to be all over the room, appearing under their feet and filling the room with a slight, cursed green haze.
"This hall might be a study, if I am not mistaken."
As Rithrynn followed Sherpa, she soon found herself in a long, narrow hallway. The room was barely lit at all, and had multiple supportive columns running along the side. The walls on either side were bent inwards, and pitch dark. The air was humid and wet, the floors and walls slick. This part of the sewer was much darker and colder, making it difficult even for a Night Elf to see.
An ice cold breeze blew through the empty hallway, which sounded like an inaudible whisper.
As Rithrynn walked cautiously through the hallway with her bow, she could suddenly hear a footstep behind her, and a single name uttered.
"Rithrynn?" Sounded Sherpa's voice. Standing five feet behind her was the High Elf, emerging out of the pitch black shadows of the corners. In fact, it almost seemed as if the shadows themselves were fading from him on their own will, and retreating back into the darkness that surrounded them.
Sherpa gazed at Rithrynn with a puzzled expression from where he stood. His left arm was covered by his shoulder cloak, but it seemed as if his hand was resting on something beneath it, possibly the hilt of a blade still in its scabbard.

I have added her note then.
Gimpsy Blitzfuse
Gnome Shopkeeper. Has her own gadget shop in the Dwarven District of Stormwind called "Gimpsy's Amazing Emporium of Brilliant Solutions". 46 years old. Bright blue hair. 100cm tall. Elder sister of Mipsy.
She also has a little sister, so I guess that means you get two cousins :P
Also, just throwing this out here; seeing as Blizzard has always been terrible at filling in the smaller details of their stories, we've so far agreed that even though a race can live for twice the age of a human, they generally tend to reach adulthood in roughly the same time (maybe a few years slower though).
Mainly because I found it difficult to justify the survival of a specie if it took its members 100s of years to grow up(physically at least) from a Darwinian standpoint :P

The Game of Thrones currently hold the uncontested world record in killing off their main characters, only ever beaten by movies about the apocalypse, heh
Also, we do have a Gnome Shopkeeper in this RP that we'd had a lot of dealings with. She's an NPC, so before I write her note, I was wondering if you maybe wanted to have any sorts of connection to that character, maybe sibling or friend?
She's a shopkeeper in the dwarven district who sells all sort of crazy gadgets(and has become Liaena's favorite shop as well, I might add).. Less than half of her stock is probably actually legal.

I might make a short list of the NPCs, because I realize we might have quite a lot of them running around in the RP thus far.
We're not very good at killing off our NPCs like they do in an overdramatic action movie :P

The party has just survived an ambush in the sewer after being split up, where they were attacked by both assassins, the undead, black wizards and a rather vicious banshee.
Liaena and Serphia(whom are currently in a heated argument), Sharon, Vashi, Lord Greymoon and another sentinel I think are in a hall filled to the brim with animal bones that just recently were reanimated and attacked them, but defeated.
Rithrynn, Leia and Shani are currently chasing after Donald, an assassin who just managed to escape from the group's custody in the hall. They are currently somewhere in the many sewer tunnels.
Rithrynn did break off from the chase though to go after Sherpa, whom she spotted in her search.
Also, in a cistern in the sewer, there's also a half-unconscious dwarf called Smokey who works for Sherpa, but who was gravely wounded earlier.
The action is spread quite loosely out across the sewer, as you may have noticed :)

Indeed, come to think of it; a gnome engineer would have plenty of stuff to do in a sewer.
Does your gnome specialize in a certain line of tech, like explosives, pyrotechnician, quantum mechanics, contraptions or is he more of a general engineer with a finger in every pie so to say? :P
Edit:
Sure, I should be able to conjure a short summary:

Good job with the CS, I've included yours in the original post.
Just let me know if you should want to change it, and I can update the original post.
Also, I'll work on finding a good timing for you to join the RP. This could of course be hastened if you happened to come up with a reason for being in the sewer.
By the way, Drew, since you're a merchant, what do you think about having had dealings with Sherpa( the thread's main villain) in the past? I think it could be a good way to get you integrated and involved in the plot.

By the way, you're free to head over to the OOC.
Keeps things more orderly and centralized ;)

I have posted one of my character sheets in the original OOC post.
It should look like something like that, but feel free to improve on your own template if you feel there are details that I missed.

"I thought you were supposed to be a tactician!”
"Oh no.... "
Sharon's skin gained a slight pale tint as he followed the heated argument between Serphia and Liaena. Although the High Elf agreed with Liaena's points, the human girl's way of conveying her message was unnecessarily colorful. As much as her emotions may have been justified in the greater scheme of all things, they were not helping the diplomacy one bit.
"Ahem!"
The High Elf stepped forward, walking up besides Liaena and placing one arm around her shoulder as he gazed up at Serphia. The Captain's gaze was usually not warm or comfortable, but right now; it was utterly chilling, and it felt as if it pierced right through his mortal body and into his soul!
"What she means to say is that she appreciates your work. But, she is still shaken after having almost been carried off by one of the corpseless dead." Sharon explained as he motioned towards Liaena.
"But now we should get out of here. And would it not be better if we stayed together? One assassin isn't truly worth risking the whole group's safety, don't you agree?"
While Sharon and Serphia were talking, Greymoon had walked up to the spectating Vashi. The old man motioned for the elf's attention.
"Greetings, noble Kaldorei. If I may ask for a favor. I am in need of your power." The old man said, before he turned and pointed up towards the balcony that Sevarian and Serphia had fought on earlier.
"Could you help me get up there? I wish to see what is up there. If you would be so kind... "
"Light curse me!" Donald hissed as he glanced behind him, only to see three Night Elves closing in. They were fast, and their long legs were catching up to him rapidly. The assassin was agile, leaping across small rocks and obstacles as he escaped through the tunnels. But the Nigh Elves were not sluggish either, and seemed as unhindered as himself by the environment in the sewer.
He was running through a maze of narrow corridors, barely tall enough for the Night Elves to stand in without crashing their heads into the low corridor roof. The stone walls and floor was slick, filled with various assortments of slug and fungi that decorated the corridors.
Donald took a quick turn to the side when the another tunnel appeared to the right, escaping into, with Shani and Leia hot on his heels.
But as Rithrynn was about to charge in after her sisters, a figure suddenly appeared further up in the corridor where the tunnel split in two. Stepping out from one of the tunnels was a silver haired man wearing a black, silver trimmed shoulder cloak over a black coat. His hair, much like his skin, was pale as snow, and ran down to behind his neck. He appeared to be a High Elf, judging by his pointy ears and slim figure.
As he passed the corridor leading to Rithrynn, Sherpa turned around to see the Nigh Elf. His blue, greyish eyes met with hers, but remained motionless. The High Elf didn't seem to react to her presence at all, as he merely turned his head back to the corridor ahead and walked away, until he disappeared out of sight again.
