I don't need to take it that far. I should have given you more heads up, though.

Vaan walks around, hesitant to question others, but finds himself speaking to a few. They all have much of the same to say. They have not seen any attacks, but they have heard of the monster killing people to the north.
O.k. I am going to start back up. Let me just get a "ready" from all of you. Also, sorry for going AWOL.
Sorry everyone. I got a new job as a school bus driver and I have been studying for my commercial drivers license. Also, to be honest, my wife and I have been going through some troubled waters. I am still in the game. I will post soon. Only one person has put in their diplomacy.

I work for a school uniform company. This is obviously the busy time for us. But, I will be posting this week-end.
awww, I am sorry I work for a school uniform company and school is starting so, even when I am not at work it takes up my life. Sorry. I will post this week-end.
The Man in purple and gold walks to the injured lady. Seraphina takes a defensive stance. The wizard turns his attention to the body, then to his hip. He withdraws from a scroll case a long sheet of thick parchment. Seraphina recognizes the spell well enough to let him He complete the incantation and the woman opens her eyes and sits up. Her burn marks mend and her skin color returns to a healthy pink. "Thank you, oh thank you great wizard." She lowers her eyes and bows her head. The mage turns to Sera and presents a look good enough?
"Leprechauns, hun?" The eldest warguard says as he looks around the tavern. Sense Motive DC 20:
The Wizard in purple and gold squints in concern at the "white mask" uttered from Maelius. Then goes right back to stone expression. The Wizard points four, Mael, Sera, Osmundus, and Besh. The guards create a two man perimeter and order the four to step out side. They plan to escort them.
The guards stand on either side of the open portcullis. As you walk through they glare at you, as they always do. You are emediately met by beggars off to the side. Not intrusive, but an eye sore. The stretch of row houses that blocks your vision are dilapidated. Despite all this, there streets are covered in bright colored streamers and the homes have tattered but bright banners for each of their own house.
"Who caused the Arcane magic?" The older man in armor calls out in the inn.
haha. Cool. My Latin is a bit rusty. ;) You're good man. It's a fun campaign, I am not worried about much. I just needed these to be strangers. Keep the flavor.
Do you guys read the posts? I said they are strangers Maelius. I said the leprechaun ran away. I am not mad. But, it is hard to conduct the direction of the story when details are ignored. I don't want to sound like a jerk, either. I like this campaign and I like your characters a lot. But, the fact that they are strangers is important. Just make sure you read the posts carefully.
That's important.
Osmundus doesn't recognize the mask at all, either. After Aelia helps bring the injured lady in, Seraphina quickly stops the bleeding and covers the burn, then she checks the pulse of the patient who is too weak to respond, but it pain responsive. Besh brings water and using a cloth, Seraphina dabs it on the patients lips. Checking over the patient rigorously, Seraphina sees her stabilize. Osmundus and Maelius are still outside. They see Two very large guards in Naxos Armor approach the pub. Trailing behind them is a man in the gold and purple robes of a wizard from Attica. These are strangers to this small village.
The little man and the cat run off to the forest. Eventually disappear.
But Maelius is not sure what.
Osmundus recognizes the woodland creature as well as the animal.
Osmundus:
The funny looking creature is about the size of a halfling sitting on a large cat of some sort. He has a bulbous face and wears a funny top hat. A tweed jacket and he sees the ones of you coming out of the inn. The Creature flees towards the woods. The man, alerted by the jump of his woodland companion turns to face you. He steps towards you and as he gets close enough you can see he is wearing a mask. A white mask that covers his face. Little eye holes allow him to see, with two nose holes right next to each other. A tiny, strait line for a mouth is painted on. He stops and stairs at you. Then a light beams from the sky. A vibrant blue and white pillar slams down on the man. It lifts up and the man is gone.
Knowledge local DC 10: 2nd ring monks are trained in the four elements. The nomadic kingdome of a tribal nation. Constantly moving circularly in honor of the world and elements.
You reach town, safe and sound. Andromadine is a city of walls. Battered and beautiful. Layers of walls gives this city its sudonym "The Ten Rings." Each wall of this massive city has more security than the last ring. The poor live on the outside ring and there is little traveling between rings, though much trade. All of the 10 rings is more like a self governing city. Each with their own imports and exports. Vast distences span between rings, getting smaller in the center. Knowledge DC 15:
Except the seventh ring, which has about 300 ft. To the next. There first ring is Kaden lahal. Miles before the next ring, much farming is done here. Run down and corrupt, you will never find a city with more crime and villany. The city "watch" wear full white, thin, plates of armor. Dictated by a man known to few; his orders are carried out by a great worrior in all black armor. It is wise not to anger him. Despite this, people enjoy simple pleasures and get by. Contending with constant threats, Lahalens have become tough themselves.
Seraphina sees a strange creature of the mystical woodland realm, sitting atop an animal she has never seen. A man cloaked in black with with a heavy metal and wooden box on his back. He stands just aside facing the burning stone of the town hall. The Blurred Hearth faces east towards the town hall which is about 300 ft. away facing south. The man in black is at the back of the building. Sera can make out that there is a citizen laying helpless on the ground about 25 ft. away from the man cloaked in black. No one else is around or investigating. The strange man seams to be talking to the strange creature not worried about the fire or paying any attention to the helpless citizen.
KAAAABOOOOOM! A really loud explosion, unfamiliar to many, occurred out the front of the tavern. Many of the patrons in the tavern cower. They fear that it may be magics.
May the galleons in your wake
As the three adventurers take their first steps, Alec busts out the door, whipping it so fast (and in the direction it wasn't intended to go(towards outside)) that it brakes off its hinges. Alec looks back at the old man behind the bar, through the opening. The wrinkled old man just waives him to go on. Beautiful sunny day. A bit damp still from the horrid downpour last night. Way out in the distance the land slopes upwards and comes to a berm that stretches the boarder of where the eyes can see.
They try to wake up Alec, but to no avail. Karinah mounts her riding lizard. Eoko got destracted. Vaan is waiting outside for the others. After they assemble our heroes head out for town, five miles away, a three hour march.
The usual suspects in the public house cheer.
Nearly before midday it is the first brightly lit overcast day since all the rain that had washed away the snow.
I have had some real life taking my time. Sorry, I'll post soon.
You are a bard by profession. But, not the class. If you do continue down the road and find the arcane arts in your travels, then yes. But, not just frowned upon. You'd be tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. So, if you stumble upon anything like that, you better hide it. But, your next level is in how you play. Who knows what you might be. You know, singing, dancing around... you might level in Paladin. *wink*
Sure, it's good. Welcome.
♦EMPIRICAL COMMON KNOWLEDGE♦
Ancient roads, laid down long before Attica, create the borders of the five provinces. The powerful roads provide great safety and speed to merchants' endeavors. Naxos is the Provence of men . Even though the different races mingle, mostly with little trouble, there is a large amount of de fecto segregation from the separated cultures of old. At the convergence of these provinces is the city/state of Attica. A most powerful city, where all government falls under leadership to. The Counsel guides all law which is watched over by the Emperor. Each province has a governor who watches over the mayors. The mayors look after each town, city, or large rural area. In social forums that are held in the honor of the people, citizens may contribute to how the Empire should respond to threats or modify laws. The mayors listen to the citizens and communicate to the governor who meets in council with the Emperor. At the heart of the city of Attica is the massive tower of the Forum of Nethys. There, is where all arcane magic is monitored and governed. To study the arcane arts children are accepted at the age of 8 years. They then go through a process that directs them to one school of magic. . There is a head of each school called a Monitor. The head of each of each of the schools answers to the Grand Administrator, who answers to the council. The Armed forces are organized so that the largest of the forces are under the council. Each governor and each mayor, though, has their own small assembly that is loyal to them, seperate fron the Attican army. Even some powerful aristocrats have their own militia. Only citizens can hold offices of any status, join the militia, or be admitted to the Forum of Nethys. Divine magic is held in high regards and is very common across the land. There is little to no visual signs to positive energy from divine magic. Arcane magic drapes the area in color, require intricate symbols, and strange and loud sounds. If someone who is not wearing the wizards garb is witnessed using arcane magic they immediately get placed under investigation and could be sentenced to capital punishment. Negative divine magic is still illegal. Attica enjoys piece among it's people. There are sometimes poorly executed attacks from raiders and invaders that are short lived due to the superior Attican force. The non-citizens that contend with the class system are rarely given any notice, since there is much piece due to the union of the Attican arms. Non-citizens are not treated with the best respects, but they do enjoy laws that protect them. ♦WEATHER & SEASON♦

Oh, yeah. That's the plan. Work and homelife have been nuts. Sorry, it will roll soon.
The old man, offers his rooms upstairs to the hero's for dealing with the cyclopes. "You may rest in my rooms upstairs before you head out, as my gratitude for dealing with the cyclopes. You will be safe." Then he assures them that they will be safe.
Great, very good. But, 18 is much too young for a half-elf to be working. Seraphina | Healer | Citizen | Half-elf | √ | Temple of Sarenrae

So, figure that out and decide what you want. Because, you could be living paycheck to paycheck... or rather coin-in-the-hat to coin-in-the-hat. Whatever you want. I will be starting the game play soon.
NO! ok, it's cool. whatever.
As I said before; I don't know where other than the main road. You'll have to investigate IN TOWN. The gastly old elf walks to the door, that is nearly finished already. He turns back. I have to get back. Thank you.
There lies a village 50 miles away from the capital city of the Naxos province. Clustered in the center of town are wooden buildings with thatched roofs. A small courthouse/jailhouse is the largest building. It sits at the focus of a circle clearing that houses the Markets every other day and twice on the week-ends.
@Aelia. Man, don't worry about it. Both are good. Do you want a guard or a clergywoman? Except Gilthanis just said that they were interested in playing the healing clergywoman. So, the guard sounds great. @Gilthanis. Dad was a citizen as well, because one can only be military if a citizen. Very good character.
You all hear a resonating disembodied voice sing through the hall, Sheiale el aiehs Celestial: "That's what you think."
@Aelia. I just appreciate not having a spartan in my rag tag group of common folk. @Gilthanis. No, you didn't miss it. What do you got?

wow....tough life. O.k. let's finalized characters in the discussion. I would like an alias with a character sheet filled out. @EldonG, I don't know about that program you used, but you could just apply the NG in an appropriate area.
oh, I forgot he was older. Well done. The militia thing is fine. But, I want it clear, each mayor of a town or rural area and each governor has their own small armed forces, made up of citizens. Because only citizens can be soldiers and guards. But, it doesn't mean you can't have things to defend yourself. I also was just saying that adventurers have backpacks with bedrolls and a weapon and armor. Normal people who work for a living have clothes and tools with a bed in their home. Typically a way to defend themselves, but unless an heirloom from their father or something, it's a simple weapon, like a long spear, so that works well.
