Dude! Iceland!! That's totally on my bucket list of places to visit! What's it like? How are the glaciers?! What about the rift zones between the plates?! Are those easy to access?
I couldn't tell you about the rift zones, we haven't been near any of them yet but I think we're going to? Many of them are in the middle of the island, and we aren't heading that way until some time next week. The entire island is absolutely beautiful, though, just outside of where I was staying in Reykjavik there was an amazing view of the mountains and the ocean. We've seen some glaciers on the mountains from afar, but we should be seeing some of the larger ones later on. I'm here with a group from my university so it's pretty structured and I can't really just go where I want. I'm headed to Akureyri tomorrow and we're probably going whale watching soon, too.
for real adventure (wink wink) with lots of nasty bad guys, come to my country. our present president is cleaning house and taking names ;-)

Whoever this Razelgo is you've never heard of him.
Go ahead and post your approach to the Fort, hell, considering your paranoia, you may even want to arrive there in the early afternoon to be there before Cimri.
She seems to ahve been busy lately though, you overhear Cimri's meetings with several different strangers as well as a few locals for a meeting at Fort Estazano. You tail her out of the Inn and ask her to join. She frowns, "You should not listen in on my conversations without permission! Still, you talk a good game about your powers. I'll give you a chance to put it to the test. Meet me at the Fort in two days time, the job is lucrative, you'll see".
Go ahead and post in the Gameplay thread your approach for entering the Fort.
The Ripper and Pelleas are traveling and have limited access to Post. I may bot them a bit for this opening scene...

OH ya, I heard about some of the stuff going on in the Philippines. Although, Malaysia has some pretty hinky stuff, too. The Prime Minister did some money laundering with like 4.7 billion USD or something like that, and the dummy corporation they ran the money through defaulted on all of the loans that were involved, so... ya.
And people wonder why the world economy is in the toilet...

And you, I take it, are Cimri. Razelgo said you were capable. But, beautiful? He smiles again and sips his drink when it arrives. But, very well, you call the shots. I'll do whatever you say on this little caper of yours.

I'm now in Akureyri for the next two nights, so my access to WiFi is solid for now. I'll be posting later tonight in all my games, right now I believe we're heading to ride some Icelandic horses?

Does that mean Reindeer? :-)

And, how were the icelandic horses!
"I mean feel free to chime in with suggestions but just make sure you say they're suggestions so the others don't think that I'm taking orders for you if I listen. Yeah okay, this'll, this'll be okay".
She stands and stretches, "Alright, you were running abit late, understandable you had to travel but you cut it real close, this caper goes down tonight. It's time to head over and meet the others".
Mortals, so easy to sway Castiel downed his mug and stood with a smile and a wink. Where, exactly are we going? He opens the door with another smile and holds it open for her. Not that I'm not enjoying the mystery of it all.
Schedule got moved around, we're doing that tomorrow. Also, I WILL be off the grid completely for the next two days, so please move things along if needed. I'll do my best to join in tonight.
No time to catch up on things. Please either bot me or introduce me later.

Will have you there but silent!
Psst I still want to be friends if you lose a soul. I don't have to stay this way and am happy to fill any role in Storyteller adventure!
Whoa, yeah, sorry for the absence and all, I was off the grid and forgot to post in here saying so. It's been a long day so I'll catch up on Gameplay in the morning, but I am here again and all! And I'll be putting up a full backstory for you, DM Vengeant.
Would it be an issue if I swapped out my armor expert trait? I was originally planning a slightly different build and I don't really need it anymore.

Sure go ahead and do so.
Awesome. Swapped it to Friend in Every Town to represent how he's surprisingly good at getting along with people and his generally gregarious personality.
I still need to add the fluff to my sheet, but the crunch of it is done other than equipment. I will likely get around to finishing the fluff tonight or tomorrow.
Alright, backstory is finally written in the alias profile, along with a sample of why Alicarus has been excommunicated from the main Kuthite faith in Nidal. Sorry to all for the delays I've had in getting that finished and coming in here, especially to DM Vengeant--life has been nothing but crazy for me at home of late, and it seems like there's been one thing after another since I got back from paintball that's distracted me from being able to get this done. That said, I'm here now, and super excited to join in!
(DM Vengeant, thank you for doing what you could without my backstory finished thus far. I took some of what you supplied and coupled it into what I had already, and I think the end result works well with getting me into the campaign as you've supplied so far, with some minor changes and additions here and there. Hopefully it works for you, I know that working in what you'd done so far was interesting for me and added some things to the character!)
Besides, in his limited experience, most children didn't do very well with good floggings.
The note arrived as he was wrapping up Sarilla's wound. The girl had fallen from the rafters of an abandoned house--one the children had been told not to play in--and without a second thought, her playmates had brought her to Alicarus's hovel in an alley near the edge of town. They'd found him praying, knees pressed into the spiked chain draped around his body, and waited patiently for him to come to the end before excitedly asking for his aid.
"This is going to hurt quite a bit, little one," the aasimar was saying, holding Sarilla's leg on both sides of the fracture. It was an ugly break, the bone protruding through muscle and skin, but a relatively clean one, and Alicarus had little doubt it would heal. "But you know how that is?" He raised an eyebrow, waiting for her answer.
"The pain makes me stronger. The bone will heal thicker and won't break as easy." Sarilla's voice was small and tight, but firm enough. Alicarus couldn't help but smile. She was one of his best acolytes.
"Exactly. So it is with all things. This was just a lesson to make you strong. Next time you may not fall, and if you do, you'll know you won't break. Not too badly, anyway." With that, he briskly set the bones back together, smiling again as the girl bit off the scream that rose in her throat. Glancing over his shoulder as he reached for his tools, the inquisitor asked, "What is it, Jakob?"
"I have a note for you. A lady asked me to give it to you."
"A lady, hmm?" Alic gestured for two of the other children to hold Sarilla's leg while he threaded a needle and dipped it in some strong alcohol to clean it. "And what does it say?"
Jakob unfolded the slip of parchment and began to stumblingly read the words. Alic nodded and helped him along; among his other efforts, he'd been teaching the children their letters. "A mile to the no-north, there is an old fort, Fort... Es-ta-na-zo. Meet me there at... dusk... t... tomorrow, and I will give you the de... the deta... the details. Cimri."
Alicarus paused at the name and mulled over the note. It had been some time since he saw Cimri last, and he knew she'd found others to satisfy her... baser appetites. They'd spent time together, sure, and Alic had pleased her--and, truth be told, she'd pleased him--but he'd never even considered his feelings for the woman to go beyond simple young lust and some curiosity. They'd used each other, nothing more, and when the time was up their agreement came to an end. But now it seemed she wanted something more from him. Surely not like their prior arrangement, but certainly this was something, the first sign of any kind he'd had since coming to Longacre. He nodded, both to let Jakob know to fold the parchment again, and for himself, deciding he'd at least go to the fort and see.
"Thank you, Jakob. Take a silver from my purse and buy a treat for the congregation." The little boy smiled, hugged Alicarus briefly, then ran off laughing with most of the other children to purchase some sweets. Alic watched them go, then turned back to Sarilla. Holding the needle to the edge of the tear, he reached out and held the girl's chin for a moment, locking his eyes with hers. "I'm going to stitch the wound shut, and it's going to bleed and hurt more. Take a deep breath, now, and then clench your jaw. And remember--pain is love."
Yes swing by Gameplay Alicarus :-)
Updates tomorrow, work was never ending today.
BY the way, I love the spoilers you have been presenting about each other when a Knowledge roll is made about you or your family. Fills in those gaps for your character histories :-)
Hey all, I am back in the States and mostly settled in at home. I'll probably edit my last post with some information about Pelleas as I keep forgetting to do that. It's good to be back.
Also, Castiel, in reference to your question about rift zones in Iceland; I got to walk all around on the boundary between the Atlantic and European plates as part of a national park, so I'd say they're pretty accessible.

Had connectivity problems at the Hotel on Thursday morning and just had time to update this game. Sorry for the delay folks.
I just dropped 12 PbP's so that should free up more time for DMing as we move forward.

I will never feel guilty about the size of my campaign list again.
... I'm not even IN twelve campaigns right now.
My entire campaign list is smaller than that, including things I'm GMing.

I am down to playing in 15 and running 13 (+1 on table top) so way more free time :-)
I even had a chance during the week to prep for my table top game so that was good though we take the summers off so that does not start up again till mid-September. Running for Duty and Deity module for the first time, pretty excited about it!
how... how do you find time....
i am in awes!
Yeah, that sucks.

sorry that i wasn't here very much, I had my wisdom teeth removed and have been loopy as all get out
No worries, with so many players a bit of silence does not hold things back very much. He seems like thE strong silent type anyway!
My life for the next few weeks may be chaotic... i might not even post for a while. so just bot me if needed :)
Thanks for the heads up.
FYI, there is a map for this link is at the top.
Map updated to include the distraction team.
FYI, I will be off of the boards on Wednesday and likely Thursday due to my daughters impending surgery. Likely I will be distracted with hospital visit and aftercare those days.
