Hello, hello, hello to all of you traveling sort. I am the master of stage, the draconic persona the planes know as Liorxicorzecs. Some may know me, some may not, but my charm stretches all over, reaching onto the smallest rock of the deepest nook of the most distant canyon of the most obscure lands. I will make sure that everyone, from the highest, strongest sword-slinger to the dirtiest, smelliest pauper in the dampest street of the most unknown city. May my brilliant smile radiate every last one of you, lighting up your shining souls and pure minds. To make the vast chessboard of reality my dazzling, red-carpeted stage. But alas, I must cut my introduction short. Dear, dear friends, I need you in my time of grave need.

You are all the strong, smart, and charismatic sort, am I right? Naturally. I need such traits to be as sharp as your magic blades. I am gathering powerful adventurers for a quest most fraught with danger. Many may turn away from the sheer thought of such peril, and others may join, and perish boldly from many troubles. But if you join, and help me, rewards like those you have never known will be yours at the whim of a hat. What is this job, you say? Why, it is the most travellous, perilliddily, conflamdiddy....



We who stand for Liorxicorzecs all soundly apologize for the previous behavior done by the blowhard, in his hopelessly drunken state. We are gathering warriors, mages, and anyone else who dares to scout out a patch of land for our master, and claim it for him. If you succeed, you will be generously rewarded in gold and deeds to the conquered land. Fail, and, well...It is not a good idea to discuss that. However, there is a catch, like most jobs. This has already been figured into the acceptees' pay. The catch is that the requested land to be scouted is a continent by the name of Hollow's Heart. Located in the scenic six-hundred and sixty-six layers of the Abyss. A representative will accompany you on the trip. The representitive will be met in the Radiance Theater, located in Sigil.

If you do sign up, I need your character's name, race, class, and any important details.

I have conqured Goblin strong holds in the east and hunted orcs in the west. I am one with my weapons (katana, longbow, kama), and they are one with me. I yeild to no one.

(psst, you spelled scenic wrong)
Taeldrin Laesrash

06-19-05, 10:49 AM
Okay, Orcslayer, you're in. And thanks for the notice, Arshes.
Arshes

06-20-05, 05:19 PM
meh, i'll join. i'll have to make an etirely new character up though, mybe a juvinile battle dragon......
Taeldrin Laesrash

06-20-05, 09:15 PM
Fine, but your last confrontation with you has left me catious.
Darshendros

06-20-05, 09:28 PM
Sounds like something a dwarf could be handy in.

*Plops Cyric down*

He can be a bit grumpy sometimes, but he'll kill anything you tell him to, if it's for a good cause. Just keep the ale in stock and he'll stay a happy little (sociopathic) dwarf.

((Unfortunately, I don't have a sheet for him, since I don't have my books. Hope you're not requiring one.))
Taeldrin Laesrash

06-20-05, 11:36 PM
Good point. A sheet is extremely wanted. And I hope with a name like that, he's not too evil (Cyric=CE FR god).
Darshendros

06-21-05, 04:25 AM

Yea, I know. Lol

I haven't totally decided on his alignment yet. Some RPs he's good. Others he's evil. His surname is Skullcrusher through. CN?
Taeldrin Laesrash

06-23-05, 03:08 PM
Fine with me (Actually, it'll be pretty interesting, for reasons I won't divulge). And if you didn't guess, you're in.

BTW, Orcslayer, can you give me a basic outline of your character? (Class, race, anything I should know about)
Arshes

06-23-05, 03:26 PM
adrinth will be in the campaign. he's an ex-mercenary.
Taeldrin Laesrash

Jeth Kiirnodel

06-24-05, 07:40 PM
Name: Jeth Kiirnodel
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Urban Ranger
Important Details: Archer Fighting Style, Favored Enemies are Humanoid Clerics, Shapechangers, Paladins, and Animals, in that order. Neutral alingment.

He's not really one for the wilderness, but he can kill anything over hundreds of feet. He'd be a natural for the Order of the Bow if not for his hatred toward the religious types.
Arshes

06-24-05, 08:05 PM
um, you do know that you can't choose a class for a favored enemy, correct? its only racial types (like outsiders, undead, etc)
Jeth Kiirnodel

06-24-05, 10:25 PM
I take it you haven't read up on the Urban Ranger varient's rules. Groups and organizations are clear. If you want me to adjust to narrow it down, I can make Humanoid Clerics be Devotees of Racial Patrons. Paladins, I'm willing to debate their nature as an organization.
Arshes

06-24-05, 10:51 PM
oh. i don't have UA, so i wouldn't have known.
Taeldrin Laesrash

06-25-05, 09:36 AM
Can you two stop arguing? Jeth is right, though something a bit more specific would be nice. And I suppose you're in.
Taeldrin Laesrash

06-27-05, 09:08 PM
Just to avoid the confusion, here's a list of those accepted (AKA, given me a character with the basic outline.)

Arshes
Dashendros (Via PM)
Jeth Kiirnodel
Dandrie Swift (Via PM)


I figure we can start at about five people. And please, sign up on the thread.
orcslayer

06-28-05, 10:08 PM
Orcslayer
Human
Fighter

Lived his life on the frontier until he was 21. Spent from the time he was 13 fighting off orcs with his brothers. He had to protect his farm. Favored weapons are the katana, kama, and composite longbow.
Taeldrin Laesrash

06-29-05, 09:56 AM
And with that, we begin. The thread will start in 24 hours. Anyone can still sign up, the more the merrier after all. Just one warning. I, like most people on this board, do not tolerate violations to the FoD, flaming, and god-moding. What makes me different, is that punishments for your bad behavior will result in being dealt with in-game, with a Draconian bent.
Darshendros

06-29-05, 04:56 PM
Curses are fun. ;D
Arshes

06-29-05, 05:04 PM
for some reason, the name eyes of deception gives me the feeling that our characters will end up being backstabbed..... :eek:
orcslayer

06-29-05, 05:28 PM
for some reason, the name eyes of deception gives me the feeling that our characters will end up being backstabbed..... :eek:

I think you might be right! Looks like we will have to watch our backs and keep our wits. :turkey: is good!
Jeth Kiirnodel

06-30-05, 04:21 PM
This adds value to my maxed ranks in spot, high Wis, and racial bonus. They only laughed once...
Darshendros

06-30-05, 08:16 PM
*Pulls a Red Mage move and reallocates some points*

>.>

<.<
Arshes

06-30-05, 08:28 PM
my characters an elf, he gets bonuses on those checks. and he's a scout, so he needs good ranks in those checks. plus, he has pretty good hp. :P
Dandrie Swift

06-30-05, 10:00 PM
Uh, could you either pm me what i pmed you or post it to this board. I can't seem to find it and i hate rewriting it. Even if the latter is of better quality, I still don't get the same feeling of contentment with it. :blush:


thank you and here it is.

Strect Bluebeard
Age: 168
Fighter, Dwarven Defender

Was once a leader of a small clan of dwarves, before they were decimated by a great explosion from there mines. A cavern of pressurized gases detonated, when a bumbling team of dwarves hunting for ore stumbled upon it with Lanterns lit. The Force of the explosion blew apart all the lower levels of the stronghold and caved in most of the upper levels where the forges were set up. Only a handful of dwarves survived and each one, losing their faith in the clan set off to make a living elsewhere. Determined to set things right, Strect set out in the world to try and gather the wealth to start his clan up from scratch.

Yay! Cyric won't be the only dwarf. ;D
