Medieval Fantasy RP (my first title wasn't good, I need to think of a better one)

You are an adventurer! Whether you are a mage, swordsman, ranger, or whatever else, you do jobs for people to make money. You're pretty decent with your abilities, but you also know you have a lot of growth ahead of you as well.

Whatever the reason may be, you found yourself in the small town of Centerville that day, relaxing at a local tavern. The mellow vibe of the establishment suddenly ended when a panicked sun cleric slammed the door open.

"The beast has attacked again! Are any of you adventurers? We need your help! Come with me to the mayor's office, he'll give you a good reward for your help."

Whether for the money, out of altruism, or another reason entirely, you volunteer for the mission. Now you find yourself working with strangers to help this town. Will you be able to overcome this adversary together?

—--

So the above is a little prompt I thought up of for a medieval fantasy RP. The world is pretty typical for the genre and can be developed as the story progresses; the focus here is on your PCs. You would RP as something like a swordsman or a mage. Your characters would be somewhere between novices and mid-level (maybe leaning towards the latter, depending on how everyone feels about it) with their abilities; they'll be able to fight well, but there will be room for growth. I structured this so that there is room to develop a sustained plot if the interest is there, but if not, this can be a shorter RP.

If you're interested, let me know, and if there's enough interest I can make an OOC thread. I look forward to writing with you!

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

@xenon lol, whatever works, I thought the original phrasing was in line with Vadim's character but I'm not complaining.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Vadim: these people saved our town...they're clueless

Yeah, they know little about Mytheria, but it's still an odd impression all things considered :P

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

I wasn't going to write another post until xenon's next one was finished, but you all gave me a lot to work with (not complaining at all, by the way) and it seemed like the better choice than cramming Adam's responses to the PCs and xenon in one post.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

As Adam heard the farmer and the woman he had stood next to earlier agree to the mission, he felt like he was doing the right thing here. Delivering this cube so its use could be discovered had the potential to help more than just a single town being attacked by skeletons. They would need to get to Valheim to do this though, and that meant having good intelligence on the general area.

Thankfully, one of the guardsmen provided Adam with a map that seemed to answer the nature manipulator's questions. It seemed that going off road to the north and through some light trees and hills would be the best way to get there. The document didn't seem to indicate it was a particularly dangerous route either, though in a world of skeleton warriors and ogres it was good to be prepared for that anyway. And speaking of being prepared…

"Excuse me sir, does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?"

The nearby guardsman looked baffled at Adam's question, like he was asking a ridiculously stupid question. Nonetheless, he gave a simple "yes" position response before rolling his eyes and walking away.

The Druid didn't really care what that guy thought though; this was a new world and he couldn't assume things worked the same way here that they did on Earth. Using the position of the sun, the compass and the map would allow this impromptu team to get to the capitol instead of getting lost in the trees.

And with a few words and a nod in Adam's direction, MacKensie declared her intent to help as well. Adam smiled and nodded back to her in response, happy to have her in the group. This would work out. Everyone had been able to fight together against a common enemy before, so why should this mission be any different?

The new guy and James did ask relevant questions that could present new challenges to overcome, but it was Zell who delivered a metaphorical punch to Adam's gut. Asking if they all died, and then grinning about it? Adam loved his family, and he was sure the others had people back on Earth they cared about also. This callousness visibly disgusted the man and made him wonder if perhaps they were in over their heads, too different to cooperate effectively? After all, many of them (himself included) had fought by themselves in their previous battle. What if there was a stronger enemy ahead of them and they couldn't work together? The result wouldn't be good.

And of course, the reminder that he had lost his family was front and center. His father, mother, and brother were people he'd never see again. How were they feeling now? He'd never gotten to say goodbye and told them how much they meant to him. At that moment, the mental exhaustion from the loss and the physical exhaustion from getting struck by an ogre were plainly visible to anyone looking at the Druid, and Adam felt like he would collapse under the strain.

But Fenna had inadvertently provided a path for the man. "Maybe we can find the answer we are looking for in Valhiem. We will drop that thing off, and ask the mages and scientists have any idea how we got here, as none of us seems to know how that happened. If there is an answer to our question, it has to be there."

She was right, and he was grateful to her for that. There was a path forward, one that maybe meant being able to be reunited with the ones he cared about. And if not, Adam was probably still helping innocent people with this quest, and that was something he knew would make his family proud. Yes, he would need to find time to mourn the ones he lost, but the right thing to do now was to focus on this mission. The man took a deep breath, did his best to regain his composure, and renewed his focus on the task before him. The path forward might be difficult, but Adam vowed to do his best to get to the end of it.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

@Saiyan it's an interesting twist, I'll give you that!

Adam will probably dislike Zell's delivery of it though. Talking about the deaths of everyone there followed by a grin probably isn't classy to him :P

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

An imprecise summary of the last few posts :P

James: what's going on here?

Zell: we all died!

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

I like the different perspectives that are being brought to the RP here. It makes reading the posts more interesting!

<Snipped quote by Zapdos>

I remember everything >:D mwahaha-choke-cough

Sounds pretty amazing for a one-time must-see kinda thing. lmao at the drivers, sounds terrifying. At least you can say you've been there and done that. Glad you mostly enjoyed it xD

@Zool

Lol, my memory with things is sometimes either really good down to minute details or I'll just blank on thungs completely.

Yeah, it was nice! Now I am done with the trip though and cam focus on brainstorming new RP ideas :P

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

@ZapdosThink he means Fenna. At the start, Zell identified MacKensie's accent as French, but couldn't place Fenna's accent, only knowing that she was European.

How was Dubai?

@Zool

That could be the case - I missed that detail. There are a lot of international characters in this RP!

Dubai was interesting. The scale of the place is impressive and it's very glitzy. Some of the buildings (for example the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world) are ones you won't find anywhere else. I liked the warm weather there as well.

That being said, the urban parts of Dubai are very crowded, it could be overwhelming at times (e.g. lots of drivers who didn't seem to value their lives), and it felt kind of artificial at times (if that makes any sense).I liked the place, but I probably wouldn't go back unless someone with me wanted to go there.
