I'm just not able to get myself to work on this campaign. That's why I've been so slow to post. Truthfully, I have nothing prepared, just some vague ideas, and have been developing all the information on the spot. Unfortunately, for this type of campaign, with politics and heavy roleplaying, that just doesn't work. So I regret to inform you that I will have to bow out of being DM. If someone want to take over for me, I'm totally fine with that, and I'd be willing to play in it even. Otherwise, I'll be sad to see you all go, this was shaping up to be a great game.

A number of servants enter the room. These look better than those that had just left. These wore deep red liveries, with gold lining, the lion emblazoned upon their chests. These are the king’s personal servants. They line the walls, taking the place of those that had left. Then walks in the king. As the king enters, everyone stands. Kraymar clicks his heels together making a loud clicking noise and salutes.</p>
<p>The King seems almost like a normal person. If it wasn’t for the deep red robes, fur lined collar, and enough embroidery to make another outfit, he would almost seem to be another one of the guys. He is obviously human, without pointy ears, clean shaven, and standing about 6’2”. He seems to be well built, though it is hard to tell under the thick robes. He has high cheek bones, a pronounced nose, and eyes a deep blue, that goes well with his dirty blonde hair. His hair is tied at the top of his head, creating a high knot that makes him seem almost taller. His skin is white, though well-tanned from many hours spent outside the castle.</p>
<p>When he enters, he throws his arms wide and looks at you all.<b>“Thank you for being here!”</b> He welcomes everyone jovially. He notices the rapt attention of Kraymar. <b>“Please please, let us not stand on formality here. You are here to save this kingdom, and for that, you owe me no special dues.”</b></p>
<p>He strides forward to Kraymar. <b>“At ease. I’m glad to see you here Kraymar, we will need your knowledge and expertise on this mission of course.”</b> He shakes his right hand, while his left clasps his shoulder.</p>
<p>Then he moves over to Bryn. <b>“Ah Mr. Goao of House Ausum. I’m glad to see the middle class will be represented on this endeavor. We should have no worries with you around.”</b> He shakes his hand firmly and gives him a knowing look.</p>
<p>He turns and looks at Yix, then slides over in front of him. <b>“Why if it isn’t Yix Windsoul. I’ve heard of the great things you have done at the Schola Scientie. You have been a great help to them, and I’m glad you will be representing such a great school.”</b> He gives Yix a little bow.</p>
<p>Seriously, he approaches Ilamin. <b>“May the Inheritor guide you always, Inquisitor Davenish. I’m glad to see the will of Iomedae with be given great justice on this mission.”</b> He gives Ilamin a deep bow of respect.</p>
<p>He sees Sigghild and smiles broadly. He moves over and gives her a big handshake. <b>“Siggy! Sorry, I mean Sigghild Thorvinsdottir. Thank you so much for stepping in when Khelreddin was called away. I know you will do well to represent the military. I may even get you that horse you’ve always wanted when you get back.”</b></p>
<p>Finally, he approaches Leanidas. He looks straight into her eyes. <b>“Sir Leanidas Volox of House Volox. It is my honor to finally meet you. I know this envoy will be safe in your hands.”</b> He gives her a stiff nod of approval.</p>
<p>Having met everyone, he smiles again, then heads over to his seat and sits down. The king’s representative moves over and stands by his shoulder. The king waves his hand, inviting you all to sit as well.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Ok, a day later than I figured, but now it has started. I'm pretty sure Sigghild will be the only one not surprised by how the King acts, because she is the only one whose met him. The rest of you have heard talk that the king was a little odd, but you figured it to just be the standard rumors that run around. I tried to make sure he wouldn't insult anyone by his actions, if I didn't read your character right, let me know for the future. Throw up your reactions to everything, and then we will get down to business.</span></p>The door to the room opens wide. A number of servants enter the room.

<p><b>"Good news. The King has finished with his business, and will be joining us shortly. I hope everyone has enjoyed there meal, but now it is time to focus back on business.</b></p>
<p>He motions to the servants around the walls, and they suddenly leap into action, clearing the tables and walking off with everything. As each one leaves the room, a new servant enters to take their place, standing humbly in the same places that their predecessors were.</p>
<p>Once all the tables are cleared, the represenative waves his hand at the table, and the servants jump into action again. The move the round tables to the side of the room, clearing a space in the middle. You see a servant brush the wall, and the same side passage Khelreddin left down opens. The servants pull out 2 large rectangular tables and set them up in the cleared space, side by side, making one larger, almost square talbe. The two maps are set in the middle of the table. Chairs are put around the table, along with a highly ornate, gold gilded chair, which you assume is for the king. Each servant bows, and leaves the room, leaving only the diplomatic party and the kings representative.</p>

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>@ Yix: They are correct, masterwork does not count for the magical enhancement. The easy way to think about it, is that magical abilities (flame, speed, ect) have to be applied to a magical weapon.
