The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 13 authors
Aside from the visibility lowering there seems to be no immediate danger. In fact, it's not even 'too' quiet. The typical belching of toads and humming of insects continues about as if this town was all but forgotten.
Lytria scowls at the town, seaming to be disappointed. "fine, just be a boring old empty village then." she says to no one in particular before wandering off to find a comfortable looking place to sit.
Vaara "Stormscale" Kalarish sighed, leaning her draconic chin against the hilt of her sword planted in the soil, "Oh really? Bring it here, Agelion!" she shouted back. Turning around, she walked behind the elf and looked over her shoulder, reading the parchment. She frowned, "How did that bullywug get a hold of that?"
Agelion walked out of the house, taking the buckler with him over to the others. He placed himself at the other side of the elf, to read the parchment, while handing the buckler to Vaara. "Just as I thought. It seemed like we were being used to get rid of this village. I think we should speak a word with King Kariin about this matter." He kept his eyes open to the thicker growing fog, carefully to perceive any unusual motions within.
The buckler that Agelion found stood out to everyone. It was something that should not be there. How would the king's army have been here already, before you all had even set foot in this town. At least a week ago, in Detar territory. It seemed as if the Bullywug had only just made it a day or so ahead of you... Something was clearly afoot
Seida shrugged as the others read the parchment she held, then folded it and tucked it into her side pouch. She looked around to everyone "I agree with Lytria. Seeing as that is similar to the fog that surrounded us before the toad attacked us... In addition to the three Hunters that hit us before." She pointed in the direction of the bridge "I would think thats our best route out."
Lytria grinned as she rested the staff across her shoulders "Yet again i seam to come in handy, eh? In addition to having good ideas, i'm also quite good with my hands, and adept at getting into places one normally would be unable to enter." she exclaimed as she started marching on off to the bridge, trying to gather all the facts together in her mind to figure out what they all meant (insight roll to see if my character figures out what has been so painfully obvious to me :x )
It was quite obvious what was going on. You were never meant to survive the last village. Yet, through luck, you never entered the building that would have lead to your demise. Instead the town had been destroyed by the magic that was meant to take you down. Surviving that trap, and those who gave chase to you, lead to the evidence. The orders, the buckler. Something was awry. The King's troops clearly got everyone out of this town, moved them somewhere or gave warning of war. As to where the troops were now, that wasn't so obvious... However the way out was.
Lytria smacked her palm against her face and groaned. "frrrrrrick i do believe we've been rather set up, by our employers, and have escaped from their plot to frame us by sheer chance, and thusly put ourselves in quite another bad situation. It seams war was inevitable no matter what we did and... ugh... i need a drink, does anyone have anything strong on them, i could use something strong, maybe with a nice bit of cake? but i doubt any of you have cake, cake would not survive the journey very well, eh?"
Vaara "Stormscale" Kalarish shrugged. This was getting odd. She took her sword, sheathed it then started walking after Lytria, "Don't walk off too far... and yes we were set up. No I don't have any alcohol or cake for that matter."
Agelion followed up towards the bridge, obviously quite furious about the wrongs that obviously had been done to them. His right hand was clenched to a fist, holding the inborn temperament of the Tieflings within. "Alcohol would be no good for you, my friend. It could distract you from the righteous path!"
"Oi! Did I hear mention of Alcohol? Alcohol sounds darn good 'bout now!" Torbera said, watching his companions make their way to the bridge. He then began to run to try and catch up. " 'Ey! Slow down. Me legs can't keep up! I want some of that beer!" He said, catching up with the group
The thick fog had set in. Wearily traveling across the bridge, a click rang through the near silence that had fallen. All but (Tso) and (Oxi) were aware as to what was about to happen. Those of you that noticed the click did what you could to get off the bridge. -BOOM!- The explosion shook throughout the bog. (Oxi and Tso take 3 damage) It was now clear as to what happened to the other bridge as well. The thick fog and heavy bog hid the casualties as well. ---
Slowly, each of you make it to the unkempt pathway that leads into a dense swamp. In some parts it is flooded over the risen embankment. The path is wide enough for the average caravan of supplies, and looks like it was the main route to and from this small town.
"Well now, is everyone alright?" She looked over the others quickly then turned her gaze back to the pathway. (Nature check: 1D20+12= 27)
Even through the shock she kept her bearings on the correct course. There wasn't much to forage for around here, but it being a natural area she could detect on immediate danger, other than the odd croc that may be lurking about here and there.
"We should keep moving" It was probably obvious, but she stated it anyway "Does anyone know this area?" Seida waited for the others before she would head further into the swamp.
Lytria pouted at the druid "i'm not alright, i could use some special attention." then grinned, giggling a bit as she started walking on ahead. "where ever we go we will be where we are, so long as it's not a jail cell or the end of something sharp, i'll be happy." she squinted as she looked ahead, trying to see if she remembered anything about the area.
If memory serves you right, there is a trade town down this winding path. The name eludes you for a moment, but slowly you recall it. The trade city of Veor. A good day from where you are now, at least.
Vaara "Stormscale" Kalarish chuckled at Lytria's actions. She sighed and started walking along the path with the others, attentive to anything suspicious.
Someone's stomach growls. Or something's. Off to the left of the path, in the water, a large crocodile can be spotted. Clearly something that would be of value to those that are hungry now, and perhaps for its hide later. Other than that, nothing is particularly out of place from the path before you.
Agelion shrugged off the few sharp pieces of wood from the bridge that were still hanging in his chain mail. With a sigh he noticed the minor wound it had caused. Without bothing further for this event, he followed the rest of the group. Just for the safety held his hammer in his hand now, looking around carefully.

Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
I do it chat only because I don't have time to keep up with a PBP version at the moment. Normally just small adventures or parts of a larger adventure/campaign. I still haven't set aside time for the next session, mainly because of many real life issues that have been keeping me from having a lot of free time.
Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Just found this thread, I'd be interested in playing as well.
Although I'd prefer more of a PBP format.(If that was what FaeFire was suggesting, then I'm up for that!)

Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
I am trying to. Not exactly positive at the moment. So far only have two people that can make it, if I count you xD.
Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Hey Vexar, I just wanted to ask if you are going to host a game tonight? You mentioned that you thought about it last time.
Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
It's all on the front page, at the moment tonight's game is a bit delayed, just got home from work and still need to eat dinner xD
Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Like mentioned before, I still wish to try this thing out. I have a Dwarven Cleric made with DnD Character Builder...
Well, I did, until my other computer died... I'll have him back by the time the campaign starts though...
(Edit) Unless ye be needin' a tank... Then I can make a Dwarven Fighter.
So is there anything I need to know before hand?

Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Hey Vexar, is it to late to jump in, as you said that you want to continue your other adventure. I'm also slightly confused on which version you are using. The D&D 3.5e or D&D 4e?
Should there still be a spot open, do you need a specific role filled?
@FaeFire: I'm always in for another round of DnD^^

Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Seems like I'll be running the continuation of our level 2 adventure. This may turn into a campaign before you know it! Gonna do some plot development tonight.
Starting at 8 or 8:30 pm EST and will last for about 3 hours.

Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Yeah, I've been slammed at work recently but I'm trying to find time to continue one of our level 2 adventures, while also working on a 4e campaign.
Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Hey guys!
I am here for 2 reason, one of which might get Vexxi pissed at me, Yikes!
well number 1)
I'm sort of bust recently and it turns out that DnD is one hell of a way of stress relief, and I can try to make time but might not be able to unless I have warning in advance. So all I ask is that We can get another date up so we can start up. The Activity has been dead for a Week!!
and 2)
I'm not sure how many of you guys would be interested in maybe starting something like thsi but with 3.5e instead, It also wouldn't be quite as a casual. It's require a Atleast Weekly(Or so) Dedication and a Commitment to be able to breka a campaign down into tiny chunks!
If you are interested PM Me!
Love, Kisses and Flames,
FaeFire

Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Guys, it's so much fun! This is my first time playing DnD online of any sort, and i'm not really all that familiar with the rules/rolls/numbers n such X3. I'm loving it now that I found a Character builder that explains everything in stoopid speech. <3 If you want to play, then we'll help you make a character :> Or i'll try at least lol. It's so much fun, and Vex is such a forgiving DM <3
So come play with us!
So come play with us!
Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
I'm in the same spot as Fly is...
No experience table top-wise aside from the odd DnD based video game. Plus it seems as I have missed the deadline as well...
Looks like I'll try and hit up the next one. In the mean time, I'll read over the DnD Player's handbook and keep an eye on the IC to get a grasp as to what's going on...
And from the look of the Character list, you are in dire need of a Cleric... I'll keep that in mind.

Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
Yeah we are about 20 minutes away from starting. This may be a weekly or biweekly event though. Just kind of winging it for now.
Re: [OOC] Vexar's D&D Adventures
This is sort of bittersweet.
I have been wanting to do a classic D&D style RP, but I just noticed the thread and it is only a few minutes away from what I presume is the deadline?
Plus I have no experience with D&D, but I have always been interested in it and always wanted to try a tabletop in RL.
