[ic= Jeroen ] Jeroen heads over to the bar. " Just some water for me and my friend here. Tell me Jack. What brought you here to this city? Surely you had not seen the poster until after you arrived. "
I do hope the rumours i have heard of him are false. He seems to put up a rough front, but seems to have a good soul underneath. I know how trying it can be to hide your true self in order to survive. [/ic]

[ooc] What is the name of this town btw? the country too for that matter? and is there anything important and common knowledge that our characters would be aware of? [/ooc]

Darkxarth · October 04, 2006, 10:04:56 PM

[ic=Blackjack] "Me?" Blackjack says, taking a drink of his water, "oh, it was only chance that brought me here. I wander around the lands, and just happened upon this city. But once I saw that poster, I knew I had to learn more."

"What's with this guy? Is it possible that he's not a bounty hunter? I don't know, but I've got to find out!"[/ic]

[ooc]I asked basically the same question earlier.

Quote from: GolemWell, all your characters will likely have lived their entire lives on the edge of the Wastes of Dorum - sometimes known as the dry sea. There are a lot of theories about Dorum, including that merfolk once lived in a sea there, but the truth about the ruins that scatter the desert is unknown. The Waste is far away from anywhere important - although this edge is technically part of the kingdom of Amasiya, none but scholars are likely to know this (Wastep is the only one out of the group who might have knowledge of it). There are a few towns of no particular interest along the border - one of these being Adjut, your current location. The largest in the area is Uadjet, where magical and psionic coaching is available in small amounts. That's... about it. Any particular information you wanted?

[ic=Limuet]Limuet watches them leave.[/ic]

[ic=The Town]Outside the tavern is a long street stretching north - the only street in town. At the top of it is a ramshackle, once-grand building with 'Library' written in flowery elven and common script on top of it. Along the road are several other buildings, including a bookshop, a smith, and what appears to be a magic shop.[/ic]

Captain Obvious · October 05, 2006, 12:41:49 PM

[ic= Jeroen ] Jeroen sips his drink. " If you don't mind me prying, tell me of your roots. How did you get to where you are today? I have heard rumours about you and had hoped they were not true. Upon meeting you it seems so, but I must admit I am intruiged. "
[/ic]

Darkxarth · October 05, 2006, 12:55:00 PM

[ic=Blackjack] "Well," Blackjack begins gruffly, "I've spent the last 7 years of my life wandering these lands, looking for somewhere to make a living. So far, I've stuck to my job of recovering items for a living. It pays pretty well, so I can't complain. Still, I always wonder if there's something more I could do. Just out of curiousity, what kind of rumors have you heard about me? I can't think of anyone I've met who'd want to spread rumors about me. Maybe a dissatisfied customer, I suppose."

"Hm, he might actually just be some random guy who's heard about me. I still need to be wary, but if he's not a bounty hunter, I need to get him on my side. Those other two look a lot less gullible than this guy. Besides, he's not too bad, I suppose, if a little "pure" for my tastes. No alcohol, sheesh."[/ic]

[ooc]Man, Blackjack justs keeps skirting the line between Chaotic Neutral and Chaotic Evil. Of course, a thief often skirts these lines, I suppose.[/ooc]

Wensleydale · October 05, 2006, 01:58:01 PM

[ooc]Well, that don't matter - I have a tendency to avoid alignment. As we have no paladins in the party...[/ooc]

Good, I didn't want him to start out Evil, but he seems to be leaning towards manipulatively Evil. Oh well, I guess I'll just see where he goes.[/ooc]

Wensleydale · October 05, 2006, 02:01:43 PM

[ooc]
If any of you plan on taking paladin, that's okay - forget the alignment thing. ;)
[/ooc]

Darkxarth · October 05, 2006, 02:04:09 PM

[ooc][sarcasm]Ooh! Ooh! I want to multiclass as a Paladin, Dungeon Master Golem! Will stealing from my friends and eating their children break my Code?[/sarcasm][/ooc]

Wensleydale · October 05, 2006, 02:06:48 PM

[ooc]Not really. My Faithful Warrior variant (coming soon!) basically opens the paladin to any alignment, modifying some of the abilities slightly.[/ooc]

Sounds cool. Looking forward to it.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...[/ooc]

[ic=Blackjack] "What kind of person is this guy, I wonder? Hm, brown robes, stick, maybe he's a mage. But he looks like he's in pretty good shape, maybe he's one of those fist warriors. Whadaya call'em, Punks? No, Monkeys? Wait, Monks, yeah, that's it, maybe he's a Monk. Man, if he is, I couldn't have picked a better 'ally'. Those other two guys are nothing. Still, they probably have their uses, I'll wait and see what that one guy, Watsup, gets that info on the Black City from the library. There's something I don't want to spend hours looking up."

"So, what brings you this way, friend? Are you a wanderer like myself, or do you know something about this 'quest' that I don't?"[/ic]

Captain Obvious · October 05, 2006, 05:30:03 PM

[ic= Jeroen ] " Yes, i am, but I travel not for personal gain. I am simply searching for those in need. If this starts them helping others in turn, so much the better, but I simply wish to do what I can for those that live alongside me. As for the quest, I know no more of this than you, but i seems like a good opportunity. "
[/ic]

Darkxarth · October 05, 2006, 05:46:04 PM

[ic=Blackjack] "A noble ideal, if ever there was one, Jeroen." Blackjack lifts his cup of water, "I propose a toast, my friend. A toast to good deeds and new friends."

"Yes! Oh man, this going to be easier than I thought! 'I am simply searching for those in need' what a load! This is great, if only those other two were as simple as this guy. Whew."[/ic]

brainface · October 05, 2006, 08:51:38 PM

[ic=Wastep]
Wastep heads straight to the library, like a man on a mission.
"Well, that went well enough."[/font] Wastep thinks. I might even finally get a good job out of this--as long as Limuet isn't sending us on a suicide mission. And as long as the treasure hunter doesn't get us killed. Hopefully I can scavenge something useful up at the library."
[spoiler=psionics/spells]
pp: 18/18
psionic focus: On
darkness: 1/1
[/spoiler]
[/ic]

[ooc]I'm going to make a knowledge check for any legends I've heard about the Black City or that area of the gray wastes.
Knowledge (Local) [dice]1d20+11[/dice].
And then go straight for the library and/or librarians.[/ooc]

Darkxarth · October 05, 2006, 08:53:55 PM

[ooc]Hey, brainface, can your Psionic character read minds? I've never played Psionics before, so I don't know what all they can do. Just out of curiousity.[/ooc]
