I'm glad to see everyone's interest in this idea! I'll get to work on a more detailed OOC thread later. This should be fun!

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

Forum: Casual Interest Checks
Adam did his best to focus on the information Vadim was providing; it seemed like there was a lot going on here and the Druid did not want to be unprepared. This Adventurer's Guild in particular sounded like it could provide a good deal of information for everyone. Even so, the man could not help looking at the other crystal bearers, wanting to know how they were processing everything. Was he the only one who felt the pain of loss so heavily? It seemed not; MacKensie looked like she was hurting as well, despite doing what he felt was a better job at staying brave in these times than he was. Even so, Adam was wondering what he could do to help her when he saw an object in his peripheral vision. It was in the sky, zooming towards the ground. It couldn't be another coffin, could it?
The aftermath of the object's crash into the ground revealed that yes, it was a coffin, which meant another new member for their growing group. This new woman's request for help was answered by James, who helped her out and asked if anyone had water. Adam thought about his gear and apparel in response; it was all very practical, designed for outdoor use. Maybe among it, he would find…?
Yes, it was there! A medieval-looking canteen was among his possessions, and it was certainly useful now. "Excuse me one moment," Adam said to no one in particular as he ran to the river. Kind of tiring, considering the attack from earlier, but he wanted to be able to help this new person. Filling the device with water, the Druid ran towards the coffin and the new woman who had emerged from it. With a smile, he held up the canteen. "I have some water, if you'd like. I'm Adam, it's nice to meet you." The man agreed with MacKensie; it was at least a little confusing right now and he wanted to reassure her as well, but he also didn't want to overwhelm what looked to be some kind of wizard by saying too much at once. But he did notice a staff on the ground that he hadn't seen with the others, and Adam wasn't going to let this lady lose it while everything else went on. Therefore, he picked it up with his other hand and held it out to her. "Oh, and is this yours?"

@Zapdos did Makenzie not pay attention to the fact just seemed so nonchalant about everything?
I thought MacKensie reacted in character for the situation. Or are you asking about her reaction to something else?
In any case, she isn't my character, so I can't speak for @Zool, I can only provide my own opinion
More good posts, they were fun to read! I already have an idea for a post, but I'm not sure when I'll write it.
Welcome to the site, enjoy your time here!

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!

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

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.
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.
