Anette Leonis, you find yourself outside "The End", the last halfway house between Murkwood and Skyfortress. It is of decent size and houses several guards, the guards are paid for and under the jurisdiction of the Murkwood Townguardship.

One week ago you were given a mission by the Knights of Artoria to confirm and explore a ruin.

Mission breif:
An Independent Hunter/forager in the wilderness has take up one of our standing bounties for information on events and locations in the wilderness.

We have assigned Anette Leonis to this mission with the objective of locating and confirming these ruins. Thereafter a cursory exploration of the ruins should be done to locate any dangers(traps, combatants, dangerous terrain), which should be taken care of if possible. Dangers which cannot be solved should be recorded.

The "Ruins" are supposedly located 100 miles east and 50 miles north of Skyfortress, this is far away from any civilized land, caution is advised.

No additional personnel have been assigned to this mission however, a budget of 10,000 Sovereigns has been assigned to this mission as a mercenary budget.

Anette Leonis contacted an associate, Seifer Elsuran, through magical communication from Skyfortress and has come to an agreement that she find people to partake of this mission which the 10,000 Sovereigns would be split between them on acceptance of the contract.

Anette Leonis stands just outside "The End", the 10,000 sovereigns weigh heavy in her pack. The day is late several of the people Seifer contacted may have arrived already.

Anyone unusual or obviously not human, elf or dwarf, must convince the guards of your friendly intentions. otherwise the Tavern portion is open and inviting in the cold night.
Order does not matter to me, post as you please.

Everyone has 1 week to finish their character crunch and 1 week thereafter to finish their contacts.

I saunter casually up to the inn and look down at the paper in my hands before looking up again, thinking This must be the place.
Proceeding into the tavern, I find the most spacious area to lean up against the wall, leaning my bow up against the wall next to me, leaving my hand holding onto it.


Inside the Tavern is a large room with a fireplace in the center. There are a large number of tables and chairs of middling quality strewn about. A single bartender mans the bar on the far wall from the entrance, a barmaiden sitting on a stool is stoking the fire and tending to something bubbling in a large kettle pot over the fire. It smells good whatever it is.

Four men armed with swords and other martial equipment are taking up a table in the far back right, it appears they're playing cards.

As Roland enters the tavern the barmaiden looks up and says cheerfully "would you like a bowl of soup? it's free for everyone who purchases a room for the night.". She continues stirring the soup.


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

I remove my helmet and set it on a free table, sitting down next to it.
"That would be wonderful, I humbly appreciate the generosity. A bowl of soup will warm a soul after spending time traveling in this cold.. A room and soup please"
I brush my hair back and sit at ease, the tension from travel slowly washing itself out of my posture. I wonder if there'll be mushrooms in this soup


The barmaiden uses her stirring utensil, which turns out to be a ladle and fills a bowl and brings it over. "that'll be 1 gold" she says with a smile.


HP 57/64 | AC 20 TAC 15 FF 15 | CMB +5 CMD 20 | F+6 R+10 W+5 | INIT +11 | PERC +12

I lay the heavy sack of sovereigns on the floor about my feet and lean comfortably against the wall just next to the entrance of The End. A small smirk forms on my face after the bowl is placed in front of Roland. Interesting.


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

I hand her a small pile of coins consisting of six silver pieces and forty copper pieces. "Thank you kindly miss, this should cover it if my counting is correct." After handing her the gold's worth of coins, I drag the bowl of soup closer to my face and inhale deeply, taking in the aroma in fullness. I'm not sure if I smell mushrooms or not.
Taking whatever spoon-like utensil provided, I begin to eat the soup


The soup tastes good, it's not amazing but considering what they probably have available it's pretty good. The barmaiden takes the money, scooping it into her apron, she seems slightly miffed at all the copper, and then counts it over by the soup before once again scooping it up and handing it off to the bartender who sorts it and then stores it somewhere under the counter.

Apparently the armed group playing cards must be gambling and someone must have won because yelling and ruckus can be heard for a moment before dying down again.


feel like i should post something for wills character. :P

From your point of view, Anette, you can see the guards patrolling about occasionally, they don't have much of an organized pattern and simply seem to be going to places occasionally resting a bit and then moving on to another spot. You've seen enough to know there's 4 guards patrolling while 2 sit at a table outside what must be their barracks(which is opposite the tavern inside the comparatively small wooden walls).

You noticed a heavily armored man passing by you earlier carrying a large bow.


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

I eat my soup at a steady pace, trying to taste for mushrooms. I take a second from my soup to glance over to the group of armed men playing cards before continuing to consume nourishment. Awfully loud group, can't imagine if they were drunk.


HP 57/64 | AC 20 TAC 15 FF 15 | CMB +5 CMD 20 | F+6 R+10 W+5 | INIT +11 | PERC +12

I tap my shoe against the wall and hum a small tune impatiently. It's taking an awful long time for her and her "group" to get here... Maybe I should go play some cards...

Gregory stands outside the entrance to the town sighing to himself. Things like getting into town were never as easy as he would hoped, but then again he did look like something from a nightmare. He slouches as much as he feels comfortable with, and approaches the guard hoping his posture will make him look less threatening.

With a friendly wave and thankfully not toothy grin he greets the guards. "Good evening! I would like to enter the town if that's alright. I know I know I look quite frightening, but I promise my intent is to do as little harm to the populace as possible. If it helps at all Seifer is waiting for me in town."


the guards shift as they notice Gregory, raising spears momentarily as he introduces himself. The guards motions him in and says "please keep your intent to harm no one at all and you should do fine here, not that i trust you dragon types but if you have business with someone then you may stay here."

He nods with a grin, and stands up straight. He offers his hand slowly to shake. "The name is Gregory, and I hate to say but if i need to defend myself i will do so. Besides keeping myself safe i don't even see a reason as to why i would go about harming someone. As long as I get respect I respect those around me. "

"Heeeyyy! I'm here! Late, but I'm here!" I yell as I come running up the road. As long as they don't find out that I just slept in today, I'm golden.

I approach the gate and show my identification to the guard.


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

He peers around his shoulder, and frowns at the ID. damn that's a good idea why haven't I gotten that yet. He clears his throat at the small women hoping she'd recognize him.


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

Oh! Hey there, Greg! Glad to see you made it with your tail intact.


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

"I'm not as fragile as my demeanor displays sometimes. just cause i care about the unfortunate doesn't mean i'm weak" He sighs, and then with a chuckle waves it off. "So who do you think is already there?"


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

"Probably everyone, but I guess I'll find out when we get inside. I think I see at least one of them at the door."


HP 57/64 | AC 20 TAC 15 FF 15 | CMB +5 CMD 20 | F+6 R+10 W+5 | INIT +11 | PERC +12

I wave at Seifer, but it's a quick one as I immediately notice the dragon and draw my blade, and whisper to it, immediately coating it in crackling electricity and a cold mist. "SEIFER, LOOK OUT! DON'T YOU SEE THE DRAGON?"I wasn't expecting to fight THIS early...


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

"wait wait i'm only half! don't shoot!" He shrinks behind Seifer her small form not covering near enough of his own body.

He holds his Weapon, a Large steel sphere with small dull spikes adorning it in front of himself as a makeshift shield. A chain is hanging down it.
"See guards i don't get friendly looks! i'm not even in town yet."


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

Hi Anette! I do notice him! He's a friend of mine, he's with us! It's been a while since I've gotten to see you! How're you doing? I hope Roland isn't here yet.


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

"DRAGON?!?!? I say, grabbing my bow, and helmet. Turning over my bowl of little soup in the act of donning my helmet. I burst out through the door bow drawn arrow nocked. As soon I lay eyes on the Dragon-like creature I release the arrow
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 5) + 11 = 17


everyone has a round before the attack happens. and can hear "dragon!" coming from inside


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

Gregory growls out in pain as the arrow lands solidly into his arm. He recoils, and staggers back. "By gods that hurts" He Reaches a shaky arm towards the arrow, and rolls his head. I'm not to hurt people while i'm in here, but god i want to knock that person into paste. He lets the ball and chain fall to the ground, and takes the edge of the chain into his hand gripping it tightly.


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

"ROLAND! STOP THIS INSTANT! He's friendly, and YOU ALMOST HIT ME!" I say as I place my hand upon my deck holster. "Draw again, and you'll have card slots before the arrow leaves your bow."


HP 57/64 | AC 20 TAC 15 FF 15 | CMB +5 CMD 20 | F+6 R+10 W+5 | INIT +11 | PERC +12

I sheathe my blade. "If he's a friend of yours, he's a friend of mine... and hello to all of you. Thanks for travelling this far."


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

Gregory chuckles "oh then do not worry about it friend" He then audibly snaps his teeth together "Your friend shot me with an arrow!!"

He grips the arrow with a soft groan prepping to yank it out of his arm.


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

"WHY WOULD YOU BRING A DRAGON HERE?!?!
I nock an arrow and keep my bowstring undrawn


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

"He's very good at what he does Roland. He's no threat to us, and will not harm anyone unless there's good reason. I retort, now twirling a card in my fingers. Hope this doesn't get more ugly, because I don't need to lose two people today.


HP 57/64 | AC 20 TAC 15 FF 15 | CMB +5 CMD 20 | F+6 R+10 W+5 | INIT +11 | PERC +12

I pick up the sack of sovereigns, and gesture towards the entrance with a nod. "Are we civil enough to sit and discuss yet?"


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

"I will only tolerate the presence of this THING if you insist Seifer" The arrow stuck in the dragon suddenly disappears and reappears in my quiver and I return inside.


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

Gregory grumbles under his breath after the arrow disapears from his grip. I should be used to that kind of slander, but it still hurts
With a sigh he makes his way to the bar's entrance waiting for everyone to go in before him


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

"Roland, just trust me on this, he's worth giving a chance to." I say as walk into The End. I really should have thought better of this... and it's only going to get more strange when 'he' arrives.


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

I follow her in, arrow still ready. "I swear next person you'll bring is a full sized DRAGON." I will murder him at the drop of a copper if he steps out of line

Once back inside I grumble at my soup being spilled.


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

Gregory laughs stepping in sideways into the door avoiding bumping into the frame. "Oh trust me i'm full sized where it counts." He takes a seat at the corner of the bar.
He unfurls his wings just enough to be comfy but not too much to not let it get in the way. "Bartender i'll take just a beer, and keep it coming for as long as this'll pay for." He holds a single gold coin to the table pinning it with his claw. People snatched at him for much less so earlier being a perfect example.


The bartender takes the gold coin and slides it under the table, and begins filling a mug from the tap, and slides a frothy beer in front of you.

The barmaiden approaches the group other than roland and gregor and offers them "for every night you have bought a room a you may partake of my soup for free, there's a lot of it left, we don't usually have so few customers.


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

I look around the bar and see if there might be anything interesting going on.


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

Gregory catches the glass, and handles it gingerly. He sips from it enjoying the atmosphere of the bar and the what he could tell mostly friendly patrons. He was sure there would be some time to relax before the business portion of this trip took place.


HP 57/64 | AC 20 TAC 15 FF 15 | CMB +5 CMD 20 | F+6 R+10 W+5 | INIT +11 | PERC +12

"So, if I remember right, Seifer, one more accomplice will be arriving today?" I turn to the barmaiden and then say with a cheery smile, "One room please, and some of that tempting soup would be great if you don't mind." I hand her a gold piece.

This lot seems capable at least...

FACE CHANGER!

there's a group of armed men playing cards in the back in a table, doesn't look like that's room at the table. They're obviously not affiliated with any governing body, but may belong to a mercenary group, or maybe they're just common bandits. hard to tell.

The barmaiden takes the gold piece and brigns back a bowl and a spoon and then points up 2 the 2nd floor "The rooms aren't locked anyone who buys a room can have any that aren't already occupied"


HP 57/64 | AC 20 TAC 15 FF 15 | CMB +5 CMD 20 | F+6 R+10 W+5 | INIT +11 | PERC +12

"Thanks a bunch." I sit down at the table and ravenously scarf down the soup, drinking the broth last with a satisfied sigh. "The mushrooms were a nice touch."

I then attempt to get Seifer, Roland, and Gregory's attention by giving the sack of sovereigns a hearty pat. "Ready to talk turkey?"


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

"We do have one more who is supposed to come, he's a little different from these two. Not sure when he'll make it this way. We were travelling companions for a while a couple years back, and locating him was difficult. I'm sure he'll show up, he's always been one for adventure it seems, and he handles himself well." I begin to explain as I sit down with Anette and gesture for Roland and Gregory to join respectively on either side of me to keep them distant. "Though in general, I was surprised to hear from you, not only in the manner I did, but about a matter such as this. You'd think they'd assign more trained troops to something like this." I then lean over the table and whisper into Anette's ear. "So, got a boyfriend yet?"


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

As I see the bag of coins being placed on the table, I immediately look at the armed group. Expecting them to have notice as well. I pretend not to be watching them as I approach the table with the others. I lean in as soon as I get there, whispering towards Anette. "If those armed men are any form of freelancers, that sack of coin could draw their attention and their armaments. I would rather not have to get into a conflict during discussions."

I glance towards the armed men again, hand still holding my bow.


Male 1/2 Umbral Dragon/Human mix HP 35/35 |AC 17 |TAC 11 |FF 16 | CMB +18 CMD 25 |F+11 R+3 W+4 | INIT +11 | PERC +0 6

He mentions to the bartender that he will be needing a room as well, and slides another coin his way.

Gregory takes his beer with him, and moves more towards the group watching his step so he doesn't bump into anyone. He makes sure to distance himself from his former agressor with a small sigh. i should get some medicine for this wound. it really does hurt

A hand has his beer the other is placed on his hip placed flat against the chain his weapon, it currently acting as a belt of sorts. He lets out a low whistle at the pile of gold, but doesn't comment on it.


i'm going to hold off for a day in case adam actually gets a character concept up and running.

Well, could we just continue as is and drop him into the story whenever? I'd like to keep going until he gets around to it. We've got 4 ready players...

My face becomes immediately quite red, and I say in a harsh whisper, "W-what? Why would you ask that Seifer?! You know I'm not concerned with such idiotic pleasantries right now... I oughtta smack you."

"While I appreciate the caution, I'm sure we'd be able to dissuade them if they had any less-than-honorable intentions. In fact, here." I give each person present other than myself 2000 sovereigns, leaving the remainder to myself. "Your last friend will receive his portion on arrival, Seifer." I slide the rest back into the bag, which I place on my lap.


Human Zen Archer 6 HP 42/49 | AC 23 TAC 23 FF 23 | CMB +9 CMD 31 | F+7 R+10 W+11 | INIT +5 | PERC +15

"I am not concerned with their strength, I would like to avoid murdering innocent people." Only Dragons deserve to die without question.

I take my share of the money and I slide it into a side pouch, still watching the armed men. "Didn't you mention a fifth person would be here Seifer? Where are they?"


Female Human Weapon-Meister | 6th Level | HP 34/74 | Tactic 4 | AC 19 TAC 14 FF 15 | CMB+7 CMD 23 | F+6 R+11 W+4 | INIT+6 | PERC+11

"We have one more on his way." I hope... I take my set of Sovereigns and divide them in half, handing one half each to both Roland and Gregory. "These are yours on good faith you won't kill each other. I need you both alive."


far later in the day, coming up on night time i walk up to the guards "Hello there, i was contacted by seifer is this where she is? i hate to be away from my studies for long periods of time, i want to keep exact details on it."
