rule of the black sickle. (Inactive)

Game Master william Nightmoon

You begin on the docks of a city named Xanic, you'd just sailed here from the old Eldarik empire.

The dark haired Elf walks calmly amongst the hustle and bustle that is the commerce of a lively dock-space. The dyed crimson leathers and large sword sheathed across her back indicating that she knows how to defend herself though it is her fluid grace more than brute intimidation which is allowing her to wend her way amongst the jostling bodies and crates.

*Bows*

A thin man in a darkened cloak walks down the gangplank, the sea air rippling the heavy material. Beneath the upraised hood, his eyes are carefully watching and deciding on the course of action that he should take. He has told no-one of the reason that he has left Xanic, and he has not indicated to another what his true purpose in the country is.

Fading into the crowd, he uses his walking staff to provide himself with the means to not be bustled over by the roil of people.

does the city have a magic academy or any other reason for a drider to be able to walk in the open?

There comes a 'Thunk' from the dockside as a small grappling hook sets itself in the woodwork. After a few moments more a tanned, lithe figure clambers up on to the dockside and proceeds to shake herself some what dry. With a deft 'Heave-ho' she begins to pull up the rope she's just climbed, retrieving the small chest which has been tied off on the other end.

She happily beams a smile to those who look and possibly stare back at the tanned Elf lass.

(^_^)

A giant brown spider makes It's way down the ships hull, taking a big step onto the dockside, it 's apparent rider, a dark-skinned elf-girl clothed in a robe made from leafs, vines and bark, clutching a barkbpund book to her chest and a mangled right leg, looks around nervously.

After moving a short way through the crowd, he slips up into the shadows near a building, waiting for the throng of people to thin. His thick grey cloak absorbs the wet salty winds blowing off of the ocean.

Xathrid sees the elf girl rise from the water, and watches curiously, though silently from a short distance away. The chest that she drags up from the bottom of the ocean intrigues him, to the point where he simply watches the amphibious humanoid. He wonders where the chest came from, and what it may contain.

Iraedra's arrival causes Xathrid to gasp. An absolute massive spider leaps onto the docks, with a black skinned elf riding the creature.

this city is a metropolis, and is center for trade in the north, there are five districts

Mage district
Holy district
Druids district
Slavers district
Military district
Fisher's district

So yes, a drider would be able to walk freely, but you may be feared of or thought to be a slaver( they often use monsters to hunt down escaped slaves)

BTW, I'm going to have a character called hooded figure give you most of the storyline objectives,

Otherwise its mostly filler quests: ex. Kill all the monsters in the sewer, deliver messages, work with the city guard.
On about the

Waiting and observing, I slide from the shadows when the human (xathrid) arrives near me. "Together this crowd shall this crowd will move out of our way. I have recently taken a room at the Brawler's Grotto Inn, food sucks but the rest of the accommodations are adequate. Join me for atleast a meal?
There are 2 more that I would offer this hospitality. Wait there by that large bale of furs we shall join you momentarily."
I stride over to the wet elf (Sunny) first and then the Spider riding elf (Ireadra). "I will provide a meal. Join me and my friend." I motion to the bale of furs.

Not waiting for further response I turn and stride back to the bale.

[Tag : Sunny - Xathrid- Ireada)

Everyone who's ready may go to gameplay

dotting in

waiting to hear from the DM on my back story, but, I guess I can post, just wasn't sure if my story idea would work for this game or not.

Not to try to hurt your story, but xathrid is already in the tavern with a drink

back story has no effect in current situation. just how she will answer questions once they are asked.

I am still lacking my magic item, what would be a good choice for a wizard?

Spell stuffs! (^_^)

*Arches eyebrow at previous advice offered...*

So, looking at what a 'Spell Sage' does... How does the class interact with Meta-magic feats?

There are 'Tattoo' magic type effects that can be used to further boost Spell DC's? (Varisian Tattoo, I believe)

There is also a variation where in a spell is 'inked' onto a character's body and 'stored'... ? Making it an easier action to activate later.

Must admit, playing an Arcanist is something new for me and something that I too will be learning the ropes of as we go along.

Though at lower levels, buying better magic swords seems to be the go.

Well, story is going on gameplay

would a lesser rod of extend be a valid +1 magic item choice?

Yes

I believe there are few from recuitment that may not realize they are in or not.

Also i noticed mr GM may have limited on-line time. But that should not deter the rest of us conversing when available.

I hope to see this game flourish.

Also i posted a question about magic items in the recuitment thread i believe

You can have a +1 weapon and +1 armor, yes.

Yes I'm limited, but plz converse with each other.

Wait, we get both a +1 weapon and +1 armor?

Hmm... I think I'll change from channel Positive to Channel Negative... we have a pally, and I have the Healing Domain, so I can spontaneously cast heals.

You can have a +1 weapon and +1 armor, yes.

Yes I'm limited, but plz converse with each other.

I went with a +1 armor with a +1 special ability and no magic weapon.

what I am hoping for is +1 glamered Kikko Armor with Crusading special ability.

*Bows to the DM's efforts*

Must we spend all our starting moneys? I'm happy with a +1 sword to start with.

please calrufy DM.

We started with 3 k gold. And {b}a SINGLE[/b] +1 iten. Correct?

I am seeing above what appears to be confusion. some went with armor +1 and a weapon +1

or armor +1 with +1 ability

////////////////////////////////////////

Please let us know which it is we are to start with so we are all on the same page/footing

I did not add the armor to my sheet right now until we know for sure.

I am fine with what I have, but the additional stuff is nice too.

I was curious about Virtos... can you describe what we see? maybe you did already and I missed it.

it is my own curiosty really, like is it a familiar?, a companion, construct?

what spoiler in gameplay?

Don't take me wrong, the +1on the armor means you remove the +1 ability from the weapon, for example: a +1 flaming short bow becomes just+1 in order to give armor +1

You don't have to spend all the starting gold.

But otherwise that is correct.

What happened with detect evil?

Also this idea about killing just because, kind of concerns me

Also I might have had questions depending on the detect evil

In one of my last posts I put two spoilers in at bottom about my mask.

Don't take me wrong, the +1on the armor means you remove the +1 ability from the weapon, for example: a +1 flaming short bow becomes just+1 in order to give armor +1

You don't have to spend all the starting gold.

so a +1 weapon AND a plus one armor = meaning an equivalent of A plus 1 and special ability item if combined

I took only a minor magic item (bag of holding 1) so I will add another piece of gear appropriate to a +1

@Sabrina:The detect evil failed on the dimmer, otherwise you now know if any of the other players are evil

@strigh:yes that's fine

I'm neutral, no evil

I am assuming there is a night before the warehouse exploration, so I can switch some spells

Yes, go ahead
