Mangroves of the Desert (Inactive)

Game Master Herkymr the Silly

The lands are barren of their once luscious greenery and varied other ecosystems. The culprits are chaos storms--large random magic surges ravaging the lands like tornadoes. The deserts have spread as the storms continue to force the land to change. Purveyors of the magic arts have drawn together in hopes of discovering the cause of the storms.

Civilization has shrunk to the edges of the desert for the most part. Mangrove trees have been cultivated to stop the advent of the desert into the remaining waters. Druidic magic strengthens the trees and purifies the water so that life can be maintained. They also provide refuge for many of the creatures that have survived the changes.

The dragons have all but disappeared and the giants are ranging out once more leaving destruction and terror in their wake. Rumors of a cabal of wizards controlling the ravaging bands have begun to circulate among the rabble in the cities.

Sages and others of ancient lore whisper of a group tasked with keeping the ancients in line with nature and magic. Absence of these guardians could correspond with the giants raiding and the notable absence of the dragons.

As near as I can tell on these forums, no. There's either ooc or not.

But with disparate story lines, a spoiler for each group/person might work. It'd be more work, but definitely more clear.

The forum uses BBcode, and color tags don't work... Maybe quotes?


hmm gotta think on it then. Open to suggestions though

Clarification from ooc

I did not realize that i had placed Matt in the scene already. I have found a way to remedy this that fits with something I wanted to introduce later with Matt's toon. I will just intro it here and find away to make it easier to identify in the future. Thanks for discussing it and helping me catch my mistake.

Chris, make sure you are reading all of the posts since your last posting. This should make it so you are only responding to the situation that you would be in. I know that this can be confusing because one of the advantages of a PBP is that I can run several storylines consecutively. Makes it good for me not so clear all the time to my players.

Tim, in coding, is there a way that I could designate a color of text? This may help me make things clearer in the future.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll wait for you to elaborate what's actually going on to my character.

So should we all go to spoilers for our story lines when we are not grouped together? It is not a big deal but I think for consistancy it may help if we are all on the same page so to speak? What do you all think.


I'd say you all as players work it out. I can go which ever way you all decide. I personally use tools outside of here for tracking all the storylines so it won't actually effect me

I like the spoilers I just forgot to use it this time. Thanks for working with me I am really enjoying this..


np I think i like the spoilers as well. thanks ben.

I will be doing general descriptions of areas that you are most apt to see in posts without spoilers. Look at the last one I did for Mang at the Druidic gardens.
That should make it so it isnt such a continuous repetition of writing when some one new comes into that area.

No problem. I'd seen it done that way before, so I figured it might be worth a shot.

And the description stuff sounds like a good idea.

gun powder enough for one vial (potion vial) explosive. More info would need to be obtained in another way.


probably wont post much til monday, Going to have a date night with wife tonight


explanation

Any one against me opening recruitment for some one else to join us? that would give us a chance to have a healer or arcane possibly as well. I would note to them that they must have realm works and preferably but not required Herolab.

Suggestions? thoughts?

Hah, well I did say I would be happy to play a telepath. =P

I think that is a good idea.

I'd be fine with that. Someone who could channel energy would make me happy. But I'd also be fine if we don't do it. I'm a non traditionalist, in that I think that any party composition should work, it just forces a little thinking outside the box.


I think i would like to open it up and let them do a crunch but not add specs as to what party may need. Then have the party decide who to invite.

So I was talking to Spencer and it was decided that unless we are specifying that it is a different language if you do not specify before the statement it will be spoken in Common

This would be common

Draconic:
This would be draconic.

Hope that everyone is ok with this

I also think it would be great to open recruitment and see what may come of it for another character or two or whatever.

So I was a little out of it and noticed that I did not actually put in that I caught the package and put it in my pack. I was not able to go back and edit my post to correct this error. If it is too late then I can play with what ever consequences happen.

So, I assume it's not, but since Jerram heard the jinx in his head, and it echoed many of his thoughts with talk of redemption, he is trying to see if it can hear his thoughts. There's no guile in it, it just seems the simplest way to communicate. He is also trying to determine if this creature has perceived other errors that Jerram has not.


Play by post explanation link.

This was a good post to read for an explanation of a lot of "standards" for pbp games. I thought I'd pass it on.

Thanks for the read. It was very good and will help me out a lot. I have been a little worried about formats and etiquette for PBP format.

Well for me that means that I will not be posting as I was in the middle of negotiations with an NPC. oh well. I will still be checking the site and helping answer questions if they arise.

So it appears as if the reluctance to join in its the requirement for realm Works. I don't think people want to pay for something like that with people they don't know.

I have a solution if we're really invested in finding new people . . . I could take many of the things from realm Works and upload it to Google docs, allowing access for those who don't have it. This would allow them free access to join in on our game. And it's a system many people use on these boards already. But I will leave it up to you. Since it is your campaign.


im good with that if you wanna run the detailing


So.....I have posted several things to you collectively. These should give you plenty of things to roleplay while i am camping. Feel free and please please please, use the map and expound and create part of this world around you.


Awesome job guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the support on keeping the game running while I had family time.
For those who did not know we will be moving to Utah towards the end of July. Thus the posting should be somewhat sporadic as we finish all the needs of this adventure. I will Keep all ya informed as we go so there are no surprises to the game running so at that time.

Again thanks I am enjoying this and am stoked to keep it running

Here's a picture that I found that I'm going to use as my character avatar.

nice pic.

I have been unpacking and going to appointments all day. So I will most likely not get a chance or take a chance to post in game play until tomorrow afternoon.


Srry all I was exhausted last night with all the unpacking and stuff from the trip. I had intended to post but fell asleep before I could complete what I was posting so I WILL post today. Thanks for patience


Seth right now the ball is in your court. Jerram cant do much until you do and I cant do much to move you along and keep it naturally flowing until you do something.


UNK:
I need you to give me a well written detailed description of your character as if I had never seen you until now.
Also give me a description of where in the Linder Lost Main Room you are--as in sitting n corner, at bar, dancing on floor. telling stories, reading a book. ie....
This is your chance with inn reason to help build the Linder Lost. Look at the description of it in Realm works fifth port map pin. That should give you some idea of quality of inn.
I already have the main bouncer,innkeeper, cook and a few other npc's already built but feel free to build a few "people" by name or look that I can work with.
Have your dad help by u sing him as a bouncing board for ideas. I do expect this to be somewhat longer in length than usual but won't dictate how long.

My character looks like this. http://imgur.com/1n4xGHn
Six foot four inches, 250 pounds of muscle wearing studded leather armor, and carrying a lucerne hammer.
Strong Talon is an Eagle who stands 5 tall with a 12 foot wing span weighing 200 pounds.

I also never specified that I went inside the Linder Lost because I felt it would give you better opportunity to advance the story. I wrote myself to be in transit and for you to place me wherever you wanted.


Mang ****I figured u hsd done this so i jumped u ahead as hav8ng arriv3d.

Okay, I will write that in then.


mang:
I still need the WRITTEN description of you character in a spoiler. The picture is great for me as DM but when others see you I need to be able to describe you to them without necessarily telling them who you are.

One of the reasons that I have discouraged dhamphir and drow in this game is that they are "copyrighted" if you will by other writers and I am intending to use this world and some of this game to write. Therefore I am not using these races.

Spoiler:
Mang Fu Ha Saan is a tall, broad man at 6'3" with a broad face adorned with a fiery red beard that's been braided and held with a small band of bronze engraved with runes. His skin is a dark gray like wet stone and atop his head where most people would grow hair he instead has what would appear to be rows of knapped obsidian along his head like sharks teeth. He wears a set of studded leather armor that looks weathered and a bit dusty but well cared for. He carries in one hand a lucerne hammer and strapped to his chest on the opposite side from his weapon arm is a large steel ring that is "sheathed" like a weapon but bears no resemblance to any you have ever seen.
On his shoulders (or close by) sits an eagle nearly as large as him with very long and sharp talons, with an equally sharp beak and piercing gaze alert to your presence.
