Build a city?

[Nomadic]

I would love to join in. I will have to reread it all (loving how its going by the way) before I feel confident enough to pitch in.

Excellent!  Bring in a character, or start manipulating one that's already made, but don't be afraid to just jump on in

Ishmayl - the date is "Year 1, Month 14, Day 10+" - I think its about time for your bounty hunter attack on Para Bay. Let's see some action!

Hmmm, in the thread itself, I had originally mentioned that Ragnald wouldn't be coming back until the spring (third month of the year), since that is when the pirate season picks up, and he was planning on cruising the area to help protect against pirates.  That was partly because I wasn't sure how our system of months worked, but I do think I want to wait for that for the bounty hunters, since the storm was so recent.

However, I was thinking it may be about time to shed some light on Aerod Plum's mysterious (first) death.  I was thinking we may have a tribe of faeries in the Sharonn woods, who, while not completely malevolent, are not happy about such a strong human presence near their homeland.  Aerod Plum was killed when running from the bear, he came too close to the fey home, which has been able to stay hidden for the last year.

I'm not saying we want to have the humans and fey battle, but there could definitely be some tension, and then maybe some agreements for the humans not to expand in their direction (especially with the lumberjack), and eventually possibly a friendship - but definitely tension first.

I think the presence of fey sounds like a good idea. So I second that motion :P

I agree with the pirates too, lets give that a little bit of time. The storm just happened.

Just a side note, I left the orphans unnamed but feel free to name them (from the looks of things one of them has been so its the two boys without names still).

I'm in for some fey tension. Perhaps Celanta is aware of the fey in the Sharron and could convey a vision through communion with Brother Aval to give the fey an area of protection, following some "incidents" between the fey and the people of Para Bay. I love the idea of a relationship with a community of fey, eventually.

We will have to decide what kind of fey are around in our little world.
Changelings might be a good twist.

[Ishmayl-Retired]

Yeah, I was thinking something sprite-like, not elves.  Changelings could definitely be pretty fun.

[Nomadic]

Yes changelings would be great. On another note, I am wondering how long until we start getting regular snows and how severe they will be (didn't someone say this places climate is similar to washington dc's)

[Gamer Printshop]

Look at my second to last post - I got snow already coming down, though not heavy yet. I say snow season is here, though.

[Nomadic]

Your second to last post is why I asked that. Wanted to know how long until that became regular. Also I am wondering about how severe snowfall will get here.

[Ishmayl-Retired]

I say we could expect for the next 2 months (the end of month 16) it to be pretty constant, possibly maybe even no green/dry ground until then.  THen for months 1 and 2, light sprinklings.  Something in the neighborhood of 1.5 - 3 feet during these winter months?

[LordVreeg]

We're coastal, and will get some storms, but I would agree for the most part.

[Nomadic]

Coastal mid-northern latitude likely means that there will be alot of slush. Basically its very wet so the snow is oversaturated with water and comes down in thick wet clumps that stick to the ground and freeze into a sheet of ice over night. I used to live in the Seattle area, it was like that there.

You will still see the occassional fluffy powder but 90% of the stuff is wet and will soak right through any non-waterproof shoes in a matter of minutes. Then the next day the entire area is a giant skating rink of rugged ice... good times...

[Ishmayl-Retired]

Sounds like fun, let's do it.
