The Harbinger of Ferocity

Post a random fact about yourself.

There are days that I spend engaged in nothing but reading, not even anything noteworthy at that. Namely old manuals or materials for topics of the past, at times those related to roleplaying topics. It feels a bit akin to actual historical research, pouring over things that haven't been read for decades at least, where their actual relevance is dormant and lost but it leads to great gems. As of late, I have come across a trove of supplements for various games that had disappeared into obscurity. Namely I pour over them for material relevant to my own interests, in the odd hope that perhaps one day knowledge of them might benefit me in some way. I do this as well with actual personal research but there are indeed times I read fictional material at length to build my collection.

Chapter I

"Sifting the damp sands once more in preparation for your attempts at rest, you come across the last few bits you can make out at this hour. The glow of the flames now settling, either the fire itself dying out or the wreckage upon the waves further off into the distant horizon, the endeavor was indeed becoming more complex and complicated. However, your rewards still awaited you all the same and you haul in like a catch some frayed rope. Each stroke of your arms, hand over hand, you drag in the coil of fibers until it is in your possession and free of the seas's cool grasp. Despite how waterlogged as it is, it is not much worse for wear, and in acquiring it you make another discovery."

"Much like the chest, you find a rucksack crafted from muted, aged duck canvas. Hastily gathering the floating treasure, plunging into the sea once more, you rescue it from its place adrift and return it to dry land. Beside your ivory prize do you open the throat of the sack and begin to part through it. While somewhat resistant to water, its time spent floating at sea for at least hours has not kept its contents completely dry, and you are left with a drenched pair of boots, pants, and a sailor's coat, as well as a small steel lockbox and a notebook, the latter of which audibly shifts with contents when you put it to your ear. Among the other goods, it seems for certain they might be ruined, as the notebook ink have run off the pages; the journal ruined forever."

"These are the animals that are the reason why you don’t see old animals in the wild. You don’t see sick animals in the wild. You don’t see lame animals in the wild, and its all because of the predator: the lion, the tiger, the leopard, all the cats."

Chapter I

"Pulling aside the strangling bits of kelp, your eyes squint under the starry night and peer for further answers among the wood. For the time being there is no obvious indication of anything special about the wood and your memory still, even yet, has no recall of there being wood or none at all. The entire area seems nebulous and void, with you shuddering to think what would have become of you if you opted to give in to the darkness, to simply fade away in the depths below the conscious mind. This moment of pause ends, just as you hoped it would, and you return to the debris and freeing it from its bonds."

"With another cache hauled ashore, set beside the sand, you quickly acquire your tome one more and heft it under your arm, keeping its surface fast to your tattered clothes. What now to do, to comb more of the beach or venture elsewhere? To sit and ponder on the events or dare to sleep? So many choices that you quickly banish the thoughts, lest your own mind turn again into the maelstrom that had plagued you prior."

I have the fortunate quality of innate immunity to a handful of secondary, commonly nosocomial infections; those frequently found in medical treatment facilities.

The Twenty-Fifth Hour

As I imagine, I just am attempting to afford everyone the schedule and time promised, @DocRock.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

Brannor will follow Orchid by about ten feet behind, hoping that the enemy will initially assume it to be only him, then to charge and follow for a distraction, letting the rest of the group join in behind the two major frontline members. I do not imagine kobolds to be particularly intelligent or have enough time to set up another trap in the span of a few seconds, so this in theory should go well.

The Twenty-Fifth Hour

The topic will be continued today. Unfortunately if it goes without receiving more replies, at this rate I will be closing it due to apparent lack of interest.

Fantasy RP - For those that want to 'Jump - In '

Considering that I have found this topic through some familiar faces and it is certainly no typical "Free Roleplay", I might just cast my lot in. Although deliberating as to how to make said character work, if at all, is the only issue. Regardless, this certainly does seem to be a solid work thus far and I could not help but notice it and commend it.
