Kings and Killers: A Classical Fantasy Adventure (Chapter 1)

"Let me talk, you just grunt when asked questions. " quickly whispered Ashe to Cicero as she took the lead.

"Yes. They don't need these downstairs, different job for them. Jas? I think that was his name, not sure, I'm bad with names. Average guy, nice smile, you surely know him. He said that there's a potential cave-in risk. Taking these over to check it out. " replied Ashevelen in the demonfolk language with ease. It was a language she hasn't spoken for more than a few sentences in years but, with any luck, she would be able to fool those two.

Ashevelen took a close look at the map and mapped it out in her mind. Doing her best to commit the map to memory. It always paid to be wary on one's surroundings, especially in tunnels like these. It was easy for one to be ambushed in the dark or get stuck in a trap.

" Who goes first? Isn't it obvious? The one that has a guard's armor. The one that can easily pass between them with a prisoner and if Cicero would be so kind to see if he can find one for himself, we can drag the three of you around. Apologies Fyr, Dal, but you've been here longer than Cicero, they would recognize you and that's too big of a risk. I'm sure we can find someone naïve enough who can tell us where your equipment is stored and even if we don't...at least we'll have the element of surprise on any that might come to see the commotion that you and the rest have surely caused. Sounds like a good plan, yes? " said Ashevelen. Talking fast but carefully looking at each member of the group in the eye as she mentioned their part in the plan.

@Zapdos The whole "I'm a pure innocent woman that belives killing is bad" vs "I'm a blood-thirsty monster that has seen billions killed, tortured in the worst ways possible" spiel also stroke a cord in me. Two personalities that are at odds with one another. Two people that are wholy different. From a story perspective, they'll both come to terms to whom they are now. They'll grow into a strong pair. They will start discovering that they're not as different as they think they are.

Yes, at the start of the story, they would be average. Maybe even weak (the human part at least) but that's the point, right? Have characters that are novices/a bit above that grow into real heroes or so.

Blood magic - control of a person's blood in different ways. Stopping it to flow for a few sec, forming blood into solid forms and flinging it at targets.

@Zapdos At the start of the RP? She will have some weak healing magic and cooking skills and knows which part of the knife to avoid (stabby part) but that's it. Him though...well, considering that he's trapped in a body of a girl, he'll be tiny bit faster than someone who didn't train that much, stronger too but at the risk of putting too much strain on the body. Neither of them needs normal food and heal a bit faster than a normal human.

Towards the end, when they'll actually be strong adventurers? She will have strong healing magic and know how to fight with a weapon (depending on which other character made by other players would want to train her). He will faster, stronger and (not sure yet) either get some blood magic or persuasion skills (control the mind of a person for a few minutes).

The main thing is that while they're a vampire, he can't be in control for too long. She will be in control of the body until they finally learn how to co-exist and share control. As at the start of the RP, she'll be afraid of letting him have control for long periods of time.

How does that sound?

@Zapdos The Templar idea forms stronger and stronger in my mind already BUT, I've got yet another idea that might prove quite interesting and that I've been meaning to play for a while.

A vampire but not in the traditional sense. In a CYOA book I read vampire were people who's souls have been replaced by a demon. So, one soul goes on, other soul is destroyed but not in all cases. In very rare cases, a person's soul was very strong (lots of willpower) and instead of being replaced, they fused together. 2 souls, 1 body. They didn't drink blood but drank on the soul of the creatures.

The character I'm thinking will be a girl, young and innocent while her demon is the opposite but they co-exist. Each with skills that are opposites to one another. Two characters in one, basically. How does that sound? If it's a no-no, then I'll go for the templar.

@Zapdos

The templar's abilities are that of negating magic, sensing magic and of course, fighting with different weapon. Haven't decided yet on a backstory but I'd probably go somewhere within the lines "Land from far, far away where people avoid magic like the plague. Templars were made as a counter weapon against magic users. " My char would've probably been a squire that learned bits and pieces of their anti-magic powers but then *something, not sure yet* happened and they left the templar order to roam the lands.

The Siren is a specialised class of the Bard. Using their magic to convince people, monsters to do things. Something like this.

The Luck mage is the most random of characters. I can do it in two different ways (more but these two are the main ones).

1. They use a dice to cast magic. They simply need to say what the spell needs to do and then roll the dice. If the roll is a high number, spell works. If it's neutral, nothing happens and if it's a low number, the spell backfires horribly. The magic can be of any type of magic school and do pretty much anything. Dice can only be used twice a day.

2. A duelist luck mage. The luck mage has a passive luck field around them which makes them...lucky. An arrow shot by a master archer...is pushed by the wind and just narrowly misses the target. A sword that was sure to stab the char, hits the exact angle where the armor is the strongest. A spear thurst dodged by moving the arm/body whatever at just the right time.

@Zapdos Thank you for the answer. I won't be doing either of those, it was more to see what other people might. Got into one too many RPs where the setting was loose and people ruined it with custom races that were...too much or at least made me lose interest.

I've got a few ideas.

1. Orc, Templar class - inspired from the templars from Dragon Age (anti-magic people)

2. A Changeling Siren class

3. Whatever race, Luck Mage which I'm already playing in a different RP. The least likely from the 3.

Medieval Fantasy Adventure RP (Title TBD)

@Zapdos Quite an interesting, if somewhat, simple idea which is perfect.

Do you have any hard-limits on what races will you allow in the roleplay? I don't mean in terms of power but in terms of weirdness. Say, the blobs from DnD (or was it Pathfinder) or tiny fairies that fly and have strong magic but strength-wise, they're...well...

@Kalmar This, sadly, isn't for me BUT @Lady Lascivious might be interested?

Ashevelen removed her sword from Dal's throat and swiftly put it back in its scabbard.

"Sounds like he did you dirty. You sure you want him alive? " said Ashe to Gwyn as she approached Dal to heal him.

Before she could say anything else, Cicero's voice could be heard. Upon hearing about Manzur's fate, Ashe let out a long string of swear words.

"That bastard, Manzur! He got paid in advance for training and disappeared? Great. Just my luck..." shouted Ashe in frustration.

Pointing at her borrowed clothes, Ashe chuckled. "Good, that's what the bastards upstairs thought too. Tell them they're going to have fun with a woman and suddenly everyone forgets about who you are. "

Approaching Fyr, Ashe looked him up and down before giving him a nod. "Pleasure to meet you, Fyr. As Cicero said, I'm Ashe and I don't appreciate my name being thrown around to every stranger we meet. So, you know, keep it to yourself. "
