I decided to just overhear the commotion and head that way, so scratch that last request underworlder. Just for my own curiousity, is the green thing a bad guy? I was calling it a beast before i realized that it could be a troll or ogre or something.

Nope, it's an honest-to-goodness lady orc in despair. As ugly and green as it may be... Besides, how could you cross off someone yelling for their baby as evil?

Or maybe, just maybe... Mehehe...

No, I'm kidding; it really isn't a bad guy o.O. Or is it?

Well my first thought was that it had taken somebody elses baby

But now you have me all confused so maybe we should just kill help it?

All these hints..just kill the orc baby because I cant stand to look at it. It's teeth are bigger than it's face!

We need to start an orc child killing cult.
Someone help me come up with a name if you would be so kind. jk ^^

I've got a name for you Xerox:

O.R.C Squad. Orc. Reproduction. "Control". Squad. He he he...

Edit: I'll be away for maybe two days starting tomorrow morning (Friday) and I'll come home again at Sunday afternoon, If you really have to you can control my char, just don't kill him or injure him significantly.

Approved, profile!

Name: Roderick Tager
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Hails from: Estonia (Yes, seriously. Some remote place I found on wikipedia)
Species: Human
Possessions: In his room, he finds a knapsack. A blanket which he improvises as another bag, a lighter steel broadsword in it's scabbard. A waterskin, a scroll detailing the basics of spellcasting and a trivial assortment of spells (he searched and found some of the mentioned spell components around the house). A bronze axe, some extra clothes and most importantly; a sachel of the local currency. Also, a vial of (herbal) healing balm and a book on how to manage a farm but Roderick's more prone to picking up the scroll for something to read.

Appearance: Although not exceptionally tall, standing at a mere height of 6' feet, Roderick boasts firmly packed muscle around his limbs much in contrast to his often unenergetic and indifferent apparent composure. Spikey chunks of dark hair only add to the gloom of his dulled features, staring ahead with bored sullen eyes when left alone. Although pleasant enough to be somewhat attractive in an average sense to the opposing gender, upon closer inspection; he has a glass eye.

Upon arrival to Osar, the clothes he wore were a pair of thick tan furlined trousers that would seem to do very well to keep him warm. Cured hide boots to match, with metal plates covering the front of the feet. A thick belt that held both the pants and a pouch by his side, with it's buckle the only portion not covered by the quilted red tunic he had.

A pair of bracers wrapped around his wrist, made from once again, animal skin (I don't know why). The outfit looked more durable than it was stylish, probably the kind worn by woodsmen or blacksmiths. Back on earth, PETA would run amok in a fit.

Alternatively, on more formal occasions, he wears a grey robe of rather intricate patterns scrawling red triangles along the rim of the sleeves and boasting silver threads woven into the fabric. Two belts criss cross across his hip with a flap of the robe overlapping it, the hood topping it all could easily pass him off as a bonafide magician.

Personality: A creepy individual who has the stomach for morbid humor but not for ickor, walks the fine line of creativity and stupidity. Quite a pocket ninja too, will hide anything that he thinks (which is often not what others think) might be useful in his pockets. Do not be surprised if some of your stuff ends up there too, it's an unexplainable phenomenon.

Short bio: Aspiring to be a chemist, this youngster was attempting to make smoke bombs in the comfort of his own room. A recipe from the anarchist's handbook, till he overboiled the reagents and smoke spewed like a solid fog into every corner. The last thing Roderick heard was the incessive ringing of the fire alarm, before what he thought was the uncannily timely arrival of firemen. But when the smoke cleared ...


Always seeking somesort of discovery to claim his own, Roderick poked his nose into all sorts of things. At age 16, he was on a campaign to see what he could do with a microwave. Impressed by the creation of plasma from grape juice, he began expanding his range of 'test subjects'. One fine day, he decided to attempt to create pure carbon through liberation of oxide from dry ice via microwaving, perhaps even diamonds. But the rapid expansion of gas blew up the contraption, landing a sharp cone of dry ice straight into curious Roderick's eye. Not to mention, it froze his entire eyeball within it's sockets and that's how he got his glass eye.

As a person, Roderick was always wanting more out of life and his greatest fear was being one of the many many many people in the world. Those who would live, eat, sleep, die then get forgotten in the, as he claimed, estimated time of 3.7 years. But his path seemed set, his grades were getting nowhere and nothing in life seemed out of the norm. He was truly bored with the world, but perhaps a prayer of his was heard by some divine ear, pressed against his bedroom door, that one fateful day; their (he's more of a 'us' kind of person) lives would change.

Role: Has potential and aptitude to achieve physical or magical distinction, even something else entirely. Generally the story will have more influence on his profession than having it determined now, but if he chooses one or another these are the likely preferences he will have.

Physical: Prefers to rely on unyielding force, will want to make it count when he hits.
Magical: Utilitarian, such as summoning or hedge wizardry rather than directly blasting something to bits
Others: This will be a good choice!

Gained skills: Basic Divination -Detect Magic
Augury -Blacksmith’s Bane

Vizzer, thank-you for the heads up! If you'd like to, when you come back, just mention your character followed around or something along those lines.

Flickery! There you are... Welcome aboard again ^^.

Hello-ha, thnks for the warm welcome :]. I brought along a fire extinguisher if you don't mind [pokes IC], it's in the last portion so I can remove it without damaging my post too much if you do.

As funny as it may be, drowning a failed D&D book in spume, I'm going to have to ask you don't bring the fire extinguisher along; each and every thing you have in your possession gets turned into an Osarian equivalent, or nothing at all. Thanks.

Guys, I may have a post up later today if I see somebody else has posted-- I wanna see us fight... It'll be so awkward.

Alrite then :], I'll make changes pronto!

My post is up, I want to save that orc baby!

Damn the diplomatic-ness of my character at the current time, lol. I'm stuck meeting the king, and I wanna fight

Oh well, I'll get my time sooner or later.

Subject: Written in Osar: the Prophecy

There's an error there, my guess is king.

Also I want to ask Safisan, will everyone have an escort fey? I've read the IC and most of the posts claim such an NPC companion, I read through the OOC and saw no mention of it as a compulsory post so I'm not sure. Or do we make up our own reasons on how we'll get to meet the ruler of Osar (at least currently), also will there be a synchronized event where the heroes will be gathered in the throne room or something?

Some mentioned an elf or another creature, I just reckoned the tiny bugger was the usual so I did that. Because the people coming into Osar don't know anything, they wouldn't have reasons to meet Enurn other than being told to do so... Osarians may however, have their purposes. And finally, yes, there will be a particular gathering after this side quest.

To those of you stuck near the palace, I'll send something your way, worry not. In fact... Ehehe...

Edit: I just read Flickery's post:

a.) Wait a little on the next, okay? Preferably until about half the players have posted, or at least the ones who haven't done so in some time.

b.) I almost fell off my chair on the last bit, 'it's the angry man's god' that was rich XD.

What the, Estonia? I'm from Estonia! Wow, sorry, that just... shocked me... I'm seriously thinking I'll wait to post until the heroes settle their first encounters, because my nymph will make a better escort later on, and she's really easy to just, insert into a storyline. I don't want to muck up the IC with a useless post describing her in a pub, while the heroes still haven't really assembled.

Random place on Wikipedia... ma armastan sind, Eesti...

I was kinda late on my entry, I mean you all are finding orc babies and meeting other people. Didn't mean to rapid post but I made sure it wasn't too fast in my posts, in fact I moved my character very slowly (he's still in the same spot as he was when he arrived) lol, My bad there if it seemed like I was one of the fast posters, but I'm really one of those who don't mind waiting for other's posts. Just had to make sure my character got the prerequisites to meet the other players later, not just 'know' what's going on. :]

@Safisan: Lol, I cracked up while typing that too. But I assume they are unfarmiliar with our customs, including our more colorful languages! But it's true, we are going to be straaange people there!

@Oran: SERIOUSLY!? I chose estonia because it had such a nostalgic name, I mean the moment you say it you think of castles and drawbridges! W00t I'm actually meeting someone who came from the same place of my character, feels kind of like watching entertainment tonight. What's that last phrase?

I'd kinda like to wait a little more but if I don't see anyone else going for the orc baby by tomorrow after breakfast ('bout 14 hours from this post) I'll be posting once more. I'd like to believe I'm being reasonable in my waiting time but if anyone needs more time, by all means say so.

So I'm assuming that you, Safisan, are going to play the king? If not, and he is an NPC, I can wait till everyone has posted and then continue my post. I'd make it short and simple if anything being that I don't really know how to portray the king. I'd like it better if you would do it instead. If you would need to temporarily take control of Elrohir's words to do so, that's fine by me, so long as he doesn't fall too far out of character.

Just asking is all.

Posting has slowed way down, what happened?

@Underworlder: I believe I answered that previously, but yes I'll be playing Enurn.

@Flickery: I've no idea, hopefully the post I'm working on will shake them back into activity. In any case, I'll send some PMs if this keeps up.
