In here are the texts I have of their fields , Each practice seem to follow their own rules since magic the magical arts themselves are half a science and half a creative endeavor... Where shall I start..

=Evokers=

Evokers are a primal field of practice, taken from the teachings of Morgana Le Fey and passed on through Merlin. This odd style being the oldest carries the most archaic methods that was soon streamlined to its rudimentary form today.

Evokers realize two things about this world; that the world is simply moving to its nature, and that nature is Mana. Tangible forms of mana reside in the Aether, and trained eyes of evokers can see them. Once acknowledge they can see into the spirits of things, able to borrow or sway them with waves of a hand, or utterances of soulful prose.
But no matter what manner of deliver it is, Mana must always be needed. To move the earth , one must have a color of Terras mana, to sway the winds, Aerias, to create flames Firas. These things can be borrowed by touching the element or being in "focus" with them.

To cast, one has many options to use I will start with hand spells;

Hand spells are basic but limited, your success with these spells diminishes the farther away your targets are, and the bigger your spell becomes. [-1 for hex distance, -1 for hex size] But with much training a trained Evoker can simply create titanic Earth Walls or summon distant blazes.

Word Spells affect those who hear you, this also means spirits. If a subject is able to see or hear you [sight range], they are affected. The same also goes for Mana. As one has to be precise and careful with their wording, a slip of the tongue might offend the wrong target with the wrong curse, or your instructions to the spirits might be misconstrued. But nonetheless all who witness it may be affected.

>> More...

Next they may affect Aether streams... I ... have never seen one myself. But I hear that taking a simple breath and /scrying/ may take you there. The results are fantastic. Particularly big aether masses tend to affect larger areas, similarly, casting with them is like using a sturdy castle as your wand. [This is good]

Wands, Focii - You may use wands to help you focus the range or distance of your spells. But unfortunately specific wands have specific shapes of affectation. However, they also carry with them an element. Items infused with an elemental alignment can normally be used as wands, and they lend their /Color/ to your spells should you need them for [fusions]

And lastly, we have runes. Those literate enough my scrawl a rune on a surface. Those who touch, or step on them are hit with a spell of impeccable accuracy. The rune however will extinguish itself after use. It also does not discriminate against friend or foe. So be careful.

Oh... you wished to know about imbuing magics to your weapon ? Hummm that's dangerous stuff and I don't think you're old enough to learn such a thing. But... one could say that you need only cast /through/ the point of your weapon and strike. Take of that what you willl....

=Alchemists=

Are a very scholarly bunch, but I've known some geniuses who threw some downright villainous parties with their ... hehm...

While Alchemists are not completely adept with the aether, they are definitely aware of what's affected by it. And thus they use components touched with these colors to create their concoctions in a bottle. However, being alchemists, just about any old item will do [from derelict weaponry, grisly remains, etc] and so they dont rely on color or terrain much like how Evokers do. Their identity is in their recipes and what resources they have on hand.

An alchemist's spells come in potion or barrel form, however they may also create or modify compact or large missiles that are packed with their concoctions. So long as they have the [item points] for it. To get them, they can use any tool or their hands and break down any component they can get their hands on. Just don't let them near your stuff.

With enough pool of components, points maybe spent creating the container for their mixes, and then finally the range of effects those mixes have.

A barrel of DoubleAcid for example, is a whopping 7 Item points.


.....
Do not actually make DoubleAcid, I had a horrible time with that.

A game is to resume at around 9Pm.

rolled 2, 2 = 4

Out of curiosity...

>>20758795

Outsssstanding.

Glad to see a new thread up, are we still good for the game tonight?

>>20759134

I think that was the plan

Yeah, its beginning to get really lonely on the front line.

>>20759175
Yeah, sorry about that. Now that I know which character is actually mine on the map, I should be able to be a lot more effective this time around.
>Dorf thinks he's Castor. Get your shit together Gorust!

I'l handle those trolls once I make sure if and where I am on the map. None shall survive the might of my hammer, you weaker races can feel safe once I arrive.

Unless I'm completely mistaken, I believe the rules for Withdrawing/Bowing Out state that we can choose to have our characters controlled by another player if we have to step out early. I dunno about the other classes, but how many of the Knights here think we should elect a leader that we can transfer over to when we leave for the evening?

rolled 4, 7 = 11

Let's see what I get.

>>20759400

It depends on if someone wants to take over botting your character.

>>20759533

Truth might be changed by victory.

>>Ironhearts Vol3
ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

As soon as I get hold of that Aether stream those ghouls are screwed.

>>20760036

Just...don't cross the streams, okay?

>>20759575

Look, if you want to borrow an armada, then just ask.

Tonight when we resume, I'll take a roll call. Those who respond are in. If your character is already deployed and you don't respond to it, you may be withdrawn. Even if you are left in and I bot you, chances are I may use you to attack rather than pull you back to safety so withdraw your character if you're leaving and don't want to risk it.

File: 1347918495520.png-(1.04 MB, 1350x1050, 1347869551954.png)

>>20761772
Alright, a plan of action.

I want everyone deploying tonight to, if they have it, use ranged weapons to hold off the undead from the green lines on the map here. They should attack from range and wait for the undead to close the distance before melee fighting.

While they do this, bloqsmiths will work on building walls on the red, then the orange line.
I don't know how much of the wall a bloqsmith can make each phase, we'll just have to learn as we go along (think of this as the tutorial mission).

Once they finish the walls, defenders should fall back inside and climb up on the walls to fight from there. Bloqsmiths should then focus on making ballista and catapults on the walls.

Evokers, make sure you read the information up here at the top of the thread. You'll be helping defend the green line.

Storm mages, if we have any. We'll need you to call a heavy rain storm to flood that stream there. Make it overflow, that'll slow down the undead.

Any suggestions? Ideas?

I'm heading off to class, but I should be back in time for some more planning.

>>Ironhearts Vol3
>>NOT about Aeon side.
WHY?????????????????????????????????????
Seriously why?

Dammit Drat Damn. My connection poops out and a die.

Would someone be kind enough to use the revival crystal on me. It can be used retroactively.

>>20762566
Sure. Consider yourself revived.

>>20762692
Thank you so very much. It would be such a waste to lose one of our two Drakkei on the first mission. Hopefully this session I keep my connection or atleast find someone to bot me before I crash.

Related to that. What happens to XP when you are botted. Do you just gain it normally and spend it when you return?

>>20762723

Don't get too excited yet - somebody will have to be a hero and pull your body out of that horde (Probably one of the castors).

>>20762058
Since I can continue fall back and call down the rain at the same time I will do that until I hit the river. Then idle in the river since that should keep me out of combat.

>>20763011
Can't we just drudge him out of the pond later? I don't mind the mooks, but the trolls look like they could start beat me down.

>>20763141

Dear, I'd be worried about his body's continued coherence. Undeath tends to be catching, after all...

>>20763236
Maybe we will be lucky and it will get flushed down stream to us when the flooding starts...

I will aid you with the trolls, since you seem to fear them that much. My hammer will make short work of exploding their putrid heads.

>>20763236
Well, if that's an issue, the zombies already ripped him to shreds when the troll killed him, so we don't have an intact body anyway.

>>20763236
>>20763298
Ya seem to be forgettin one thing. MAGIC, MOTHERFUCKERS.

>>20763404

Magic is a scalpel, child, it requires a plan. Or else it requires much time to prepare a more powerful stroke. And for such a simple thing as retrieving a body, sometimes the mundane methods are simpler.

>>20763437
So operation drag the dragon is agogo?

>>20763236
>>20763292
Also, I feel the need to explain something. Unlike you fleshbags who can get the crap beaten out of you, heal yourselves up and have a go at it the next day, us castors are pretty much stuck with whatever damage we sustain. As long as I'm dealing with things that have trouble getting through my considerable armor, I'm good, but they bring in the heavies and I might be permanently weakened.

>>20763535

You were the one who signed up for the front lines, dearie. You don't see the dead complaining, do you?

You have companions, utilize them.

I just checked, it turns out I was wrong about the body being ripped to shreds, I'll just grab the piece of meat and book it, since it's right there and mobility seems to be my specialty anyway.

>>20763650
Do you really need to keep calling me "dearie"? I swear to elements, I'm twice your size.

>>20763078
Continue to fall back towards base. The river will likely only slow them down, they'd probably still be able to attack you there.

>>20763814

Aw, what's wrong? Is this little old lady making the big strong golem flustered?

In any case, your friendly Rivern evoker just found himself a mana jackpot, I imagine you will have some help indeed.

>>20763141
We can, provided we do not lose here and have to retreat.

If that happens, he will at least be able to reincarnate and rejoin us later (although he'd have to roll another race and element).

>>20763530
If it can be done without risking the plan outlined. All we'd need is someone who can move fast and avoid any overwatch the undead may have.

(Remember, enemies can overwatch too.)

I will be dropping some traps all over, hopefully it can help slowing down the mob, Instead of making one big wall, giving it one small opening would work to funnel them safely to us. If they think they can pass, even slightly, they may ignore the wall and walk 1 by 1

>>20763907
I intend for there to be a gate of sorts that the green line defenders can fall back through. Just got to make sure that someone keeps an eye on the gate while others are on the walls, preferably those with no ranged option.

>>20763880
>>20763898
In that case, I'll grab him, move to the green line, and fall back with him.

Last minute questions?

Can ballista \ catapults move? Also does using an item use an act?

I'm lurking this pretty hardcore.

>>20765265

Should I put my traps in front of the green line?

More Notes for those who need them.

=Contractor=

The Contractor found their use as a gamble against ... foreign flora and fauna beyond the mist. It was not enough to have our knowledge and methodology as academics and scholars to deal with these outer threats, we needed people capable of sealing and controlling them too, if only to garner vital advantages on first contact.

A Contractor's initiation requires that they capture a monster, usually they find one that matches their alignment. Upon their christening they work together as either master and servant, brothers in arms, or Knight and steed. With more Eidolons and monsters under their command, it's completely possible to command a whole fighting force with their limited actions.

To capture a monster, Contractors must gamble with their lives and their mark, weakening the monster to a point of easy capture, or taking a risk and catching a potential partner in their fresh state.

One must pay heed however, a contractor's abilities aren't limited to monsters. There are those that break the rule of Kings and enslave their fellows as well. Though this is looked down upon, it is not rare, not even under domestic circumstances.

. . . . Well shall we begin ?

>>20765290

You could try, but I'm not certain it would work. As for using an item? Best save an action for it just in case.

>>20765290
Using an item costing an act, I do not know. I suppose if you had enough strength you could move a ballista or catapult, maybe as a castor. I do not know for certain though.

Requesting Roster. The game can start now.

>>20765317
Yes, if you can get there before the enemy.

Month of Ashwood, The Night after the fight.
==================================

The celebration was sparse but it was lively all the same. The heroes ate like true champions but their apetite was no match for their curiousity. A courier was sent out as soon as victory was sounded, and soon, her Majesty will send back word of how to proceed, or perhaps an army of her own to relieve us of our watch duties.

We could not believe the faces of those we buried. Some people had remembered the faces as friends from another town, others had relatives. In the end a pyre was formed but swords were erected for the soldiers and townsmen lost to the undead scourge. In our time of troubling thoughts it was the two Scholomance superiors, myself a vagabond alumni and Elm of Eden who had secured himself a fine role as professor. I have resigned myself to a life of observing, as it was the primary teachings of the Scholomance to never interfere with the natural world, even if ruled by unnatural things.

And so the responsibility of leading naturally fell to Elm while I slave away at my desk, compiling notes, searching, researching, and at times even inventing. . . .

But I stray from my duties, you have moved into this town yes ? If not for a decade perhaps for a year ? Either way, a neighbor is a neighbor, and my job is to guide you about. I suppose between patrols and fighting for our lives you'd want to find ways to keep busy, I wouldn't know what to say in that regard. We aren't exactly Her Majesty's army, but we're expected to do our jobs of protecting this town, or learning new things.

And so let me be the one to tell you what you can do with some coin and a bit of initiative;

- Trade; you may trade goods freely among your peers any number of times.
- Purchase, Train, Work; The Dorfs can craft odds and ends, sometimes even commit to large projects for Exp, others may go to town to purchase something from the shop. New things will come in, as soon as the roads clear up I wager, but sometimes an oddjob or two comes by with interesting things to peddle.
-Quest, Sometimes getting out and about to explore does an Ifframi good. Sometimes there are zombies.

[Story]
As she see her charge die up, Sonia summon her ghoul knight. "A contract is a contract and as agreed you shall not die here, you shall not go hungry and shall not be wounded outside of your duty." As she finishes the recitation of the clause of the contract she orders the ghoul to spread it's gift to the troll. "I'm sorry I couldn't save your life let me try to repay my debt to you by giving it back to you someday.". As the giant monster raise up, she orders both of the undead them to protect her as she head out to contract what's left of the enemy force since leaving any ghoul free to roam could lead to a disaster.

[Quest unlocked]

[Story]

Fleur... survived this outing through the gate held the bow so familiar to her in her hands once again. She thought she saw the ghouls over run a mighty dragon... how easily that could of been her... These thoughts ran through the mute girl's head as she sat at in the town's tavern, head in one hand, the other on a stein of ale. There was that one time, at the last town she was station at... she had felt the cold bite of steel... She was lucky then, but how many more times would she need to enter the gate to protect at a town? More thoughts that ran though her head, her stein half gone down. It was her job, as much as she disliked it, she was good at it. She drank more, having another stein brought over. This was a habit she had at her last town... and it was starting here too, that wasn't good. Another thought and another drink.

The brown haired mute girl tried her hardest to get one of the barmaids to sit and talk about the town that she was meant to protect, through a many half-drunk gestures.

So, as a castor, the damage I take is permanent. So I understand that healing spells designed to knit flesh have no effect on my stony exterior, and my body won't repair itself. But I understand we have at least a couple of fine dwarven smiths, could they possibly perform repairs on me?

>>20771946
Hmmmm
The effect would be similar to melting down a couple of armors for their HP+ advantage and using it on yourself. The Obvious cost to this is gold + the exp. of said dwarven smiths. The service will be costly indeed. Talk to Eldred to see if he can organize something.

.... On that note what should we do about that drakkei.

" You know," the Barmaid said
" I have always met many loudmouthed drunks that I sometimes listen to for a quite a lot- and this is the first time I've gotten a quiet one that asked me about myself. "

She places her hands on her hips and gives a certain nod.

" On the day that that would happen, I made a bet with myself, that I would hold that conversation over cake. You'll stay a while will you ? You'd need to sit that tonic down anyway. "


After an hour that made itself into minutes, the Barmaid hummed a familiar song as she traipsed about the kitchen collecting ingredients from no less than 2 regulars to fetch.

The bar was empty for such a late night and everyone had been spirited away except for the one mute who was faced with a humble half of a creamy carrotspice cake.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0WYCIxsaJE

" The carrots came from my father's farm, that is now being tended to by his Castor friend, the cream was from a recipe left by an alchemist who kept rambling about the day he dropped a barrel of double acid. And the bread was something my friend used to make. But that's a long story. Eat up "

The battle had been won, but there was still much to do. First things first, she needed money, and she needed better armor, the first obviously contributing to the latter. But before she could get into it, she needed a hard drink, to calm her nerves after such an intense fight.

[Work/Quest] Exiting the bar a few hours later, she sets off in search of any work for a centaur as herself. Heavy labor, quests, tracker activities, anything would do... even if it required letting someone ride her...

>>20765816
Ivy watches her coworker and fellow barmaid enjoy a delicious cake with a meek looking human girl, licking her lips at the thought of enjoy some of the moist sweet as well. The bartender throwing a wash cloth at her face and yelling at her to get to work on the dishes quickly ruins her fantasies, and it's back to unending boredom again. And to think, not hours ago there was a battle for this very town's survival, and now here she was doing dishes in a nearly empty bar...

With the battle won and Caudicus' complete lack of involvement not withstanding because of the issues of time Caudicus was ready for action! However, now he is lacking in experience. There is only one safe and acceptable option for this oversight to be corrected, monster hunting! For surely there is someone who needs a mighty centaur to slay a terrible beast. Anyone. At all.

"All these years, and he /insists/ on calling me Elm."
Eldred had just been talking with an old friend of his, and he always called Eldred by his old nickname. Whether it was because he prefered it or his old friend was experiencing the problems of age (he an old friend of Eldred's, and an /old/ friend), Eldred was never certain.
"It happens, when you stay in a single incarnation long enough..."

The nickname had reminded him of how he earned it, the time he had given several elms some legs and set them loose throught the school. "With those undead running about, along with the average dangers of the wilds, might be thrust into another fight. This trick could be useful."
Unfortunately, he didn't remember how he had done it. To rediscover would require some experimentation. First, Eldred decided to recreate the conditions under which he had first performed the spell. "I /WILL/ have fighting trees!"
And it is with that sentiment he burst through the doors to the bar.

[Quest]
:The Walking Stick: Eldred is searching for the means to make tree minio--soldie-- Assistants.

"I require drinks! Many drinks!" He announces to the mostly empty bar. All of two barmaids and girl. "Graywind has changed." He notes to no one in particular. Going over to the centaur girl doing the dishes, he says "I need this for science! Er..MAGIC!" as he throws some gold down on the bar, hops over, and begins helping himself.

Soon, he is in the proper frame of mind. Leaning the walking stick against the wall, he begins his slurred casting.

At least if this doesn't work, he has an excuse to get very drunk.

Sil bolts up from yet another nightmare of being consumed alive by ghouls as the sky and wind fail to answer her call. It was obvious to her that she had survived the battle more on instinct and luck than true mastery of the elements. She shakes her head and massages her temples thinking “I must go back over the basics, embrace the wind, balance the pressure, contrast the temperature, center yourself in the system...”

That nice centaur Sonia had found a wonderful umbrella during the chaos, wonderful on two fronts finding an implement of our peculiar school of magic is a cause for celebration but one that constantly releases moisture is a true blessing for a Sikian severing on the surface. “It must be mine but Sonia had said that she was only willing to part it in exchange for goods influenced by the storms and air. Maybe if I ask around town I can find someone willing barter or trade a suitable item and then...” Sil though to herself as she found herself heading back towards the bath to deal with the infernal dryness.

Montblanc walked alone to the blood-soaked fields, seeking one final thing from the battle. As the sun's light waned, it almost seemed normal for his shadow to extend twice his height and girth - though it fell just short of a singular corpse.

The Tam cocked his head at the sight of what was, essentially, his corpse. The witch Baba Yaga had been preparing for this sort of eventuality for a while, but there was one last thing that needed doing, something that had been impossible until the body was long cold and dead.

Drawing a piece of his soul out into the spear in his hands, he swept the tip over the body. The ashen corpse dissolved and washed away, leaving in its wake a book whose paper remained dry as the cracked sands of the deserts of Baba Yaga's youth. Montblanc picked it up, and quickly flipped through what pages he could - most were inaccessible to him, the magic having long destroyed their contents. Whatever it had been before, the text was naught but a book of names now - the names of these other outcasts and survivors of this town. But one name had already crossed itself out.

You got two different sources of DR, friend. Your own innate DR, which is DR1, and your shield which provides a situational DR equal to your STR (3 in this case). They don't stack, so this set up only gets you a global DR 3 (not a bad thing by any means). Guess it lets you two-hand your weapons safely though.

[Story]
Irontalon stood on a hilltop in the midst of the storm. Rain poured down hard as thunder and lighting crashed all around him. Some castors might be concerned about the rain and wind eroding them, but the storm had apparently chosen him, for whatever reason. He looked down at his blade and reflected on the events of the battle.

It went well at first, him and the other castors proved able to withstand the onslaught of the horde of ghouls. But as the the trolls began to advance, the others fled. Castors are unable to recover from injury on their own like the other races of the world, and perhaps the fear of permanent injury overcame them. Irontalon began to feel the same, a fear that grew as the trolls began to beat him down. But he turned to his smaller fellows, and watched as they continued to fight on as the horde approached, manipulating the elements and firing arrows, even though a blow from a troll could easily kill them. He was the only knight left now, his Drakkei comrade having been consumed by the horde earlier. And that made him the only thing left standing in between the undead and his newfound comrades. He knew the next onslaught by the trolls would probably be the one to turn him to rubble, but he couldn't stand to allow the brave people behind him to be overrun. He took up a defensive stance, and prepared for one last set of swings against the horde. But fate had different plans for him, as lightning struck his sword, and arced through the undead as he swung, felling them all. Irontalon was both dumbfounded and relieved at this turn of events. A deft salvo by his compatriots eliminated the remaining threats.

Maintenance: Returning to the present, Irontalon looked down at his body. The trolls had hit him hard, and he had many cracks in his stone body.

Maybe there was another way of repairing himself somewhere in the area.

Freyja spit to the side as she looked over the ballista that had slain a troll in a single blow. "Powerful" She muttered as she stroked the rough wood. "Too powerful for one novice dorf to handle expertly. However thats changed now."

She brings her hammer forward, shattering the ballista. After gathering the wood. She then looks over the battlefield and wanders down the hill. She lifts her hammer and cracks the ground, placing stone and shaping it. Within moments a crude forge is formed. She puts the wood into the still to be lit furnace.

She then tromps through the battlefield looking for metal, and either bone, blood or ash of the troll she slew. She had a job to do.

Freyja wishes to bind the power her first creation and her first kill together to her hammer. She searches for the necessary items to do so.

Alright, you lot. Gather around, and let's see about doing something proactive for once. Now we're pretty alone here at the moment until the roads get developed, and I doubt our troubles are over with those ghouls dead. Way I see things, we have two smart paths we could follow:

A. Investigate the town of Ashleaf, and why its population is apparently ghouled

B. Try to meet up with and assist any efforts to get our little settlement officially on the grid

His name was Elm because
of the drink that had been concocted that night by Martel Meadleaf. On a dare he drank the sap essence of an elm Tree, after it was fermented in an ether bath in Martel's closet. It was not soon after that , that the concoction- with its strange effects interacted with the Evoker's alignment in a rather famous way. What had literally been harmless trees were transformed to living, walking spells that gained such impeccable sentience, that it pardoned the damages done to the women's bathhouse.

And it was many years ago to this day, that I see a shambling Evoker go into the woods, and continuing a private retreat there with half the northern wood.

Fleur trembles with what normally would be laughter in response to the silly bet the barmaid made with herself. She did wait, and was glad she did when putting cake to mouth. The dessert bringing a smile to the girl's freckled face. If such a thing was normal fanfare, she could see herself liking this town, or if anything, this tavern.

Savouring the cake, she misses both the professor, and Drakkei entering. From the sounds of it, it seemed her quiet chat with the barmaid was going to be interrupted. Watching in abject fascination as scholarly type, the only other human that was out on the feel, vault behind the counter and start serving himself. Torn between wanting to leave and taking her time to finish the treat, she kept at it, not wanting for offend the work that went into it. Her worries also fell on the other who entered... She knew them to be prideful creatures, but the amount of ale he wanted... She wouldn't be staying around for that. She finished, gave the barmaid another smile and downed the last of her own drink before sliding some gold onto the table.

She left the tavern after that, to find a bed to sleep in.

With the Aqua Tam's call for a decision, Fleur decided to sit it out. She sought to occupy her time with something else, still with the interest of the town in mind, but... away from the others at the moment. Never being one for crowds, unless necessity called, she see the value of what she was trying to do, and the Tam might of actually had a point. She looked for those able, but still too young to join the townguard, to impart knowledge of using the bow, in hopes to prevent... whatever happened to the Ashleaf.. if that line of thinking was true, anyways.

Argo awakens the grip of undeath loosed from his conscience. He finds himself on a stone slab covered in detestable bindings. For the first time he'd experienced a strange feeling that only others felt intimately with their exposed skin;

The tracker and his shadow treks the dry plains into sandy reaches only to find that the tracks began to converge. It wasn't until mid afternoon of the same day that they had arrived on a grisly scene. Whole ... hordes of bloodied tyrants mingled, fought, devoured or were being devoured by millitant saurs. A rare sight. The beings fought with the ferocity that rivalled drakkei but had no illusions of grandeur. But even then , the thick horde packed the canyons, and showed no signs of ending, no signs of getting better. The tam had left before the smell of blood got the better of both of them.

[Story]
With the battlefield littered with corpses, traps and siege apparatus, Paige looks on towards the field, crossbow in arms, satisfied of the work done. Today had been an easy job and despite the loss of a few comrades, their new forms quickly rejoined the fight, pushing it to victory. Had the battle been too easy, or their forces too well organized, he'd know for sure the next time they cross the gate together. His nature as a Sleekfoot put him one step higher then everyone else in terms of speed. Would the town need a scout? The answer was obvious, but he'd have to be a good scout. Something to look forward too at the very least, his training to ensure the safety of his kin, good idea...

[Quest]
Investigate the importance of that one troll and the tree that appeared near the end of the mission. Why was it working after that one tree, and why was the troll itself different, had it seen something that even us could have missed? Nevertheless, investigating that area seems like a good start to a future scout's inquisitive nature about his surroundings

After much smelting Freyja sighed as she stared at the bar of umber red bloq. A material that resulted from burnt bone, wood, and metal of her constructions. Such a large amount of it was harnessed , and yet she was at a loss of how to proceed. The process itself would require more practice out of her or she could simply go all in and seewhat she could make of this. Perhaps something better awaits at the end of this road. Or Perhaps it miht be batter to take a chance now.

Saurs are a wild race that seems to trace their lineage back even further than dragons. However their prideful demeanor seems to suggest that they are related.

>>20781937

Paige arrived at the idea faster than he had cared to.

" They hated water" He divined, Ghouls and Trolls detested water , in fact they hated it more because it had such menacing hold over their magical natures. The Troll had went out of its way during battle to construct a crude tree bridge. And while water was considerably dangerous as a raging river, he wondered if there was more to it that made the undead repel from it....

He sniffs the air he reached the bank. Bending down at the edge of the bank he scoops a finger across the edge where it was once lined with corpses and found a black oily ichor on his fingertips.

It smelled like blood.

Freyja takes umbra red bloq and chips off a small piece then carefully packs the rest away. This was something.. special and she would not waste it with her inexperiance. However there is a saying. Practice makes perfect. And her first battle deserved rememberence. All her companions desrved something as well. So Freyja works on creating a small emblem for their new group. Something that would give each of them a sense of belonging. Plus a few extras for newcomers.

Afterwords she will look for drink for smithing is thirsty work.

You... are likely to become badass very quickly. See Fleur, who hit Level 4 in one battle.

Anyways, you start the battle with 4 potions in your inventory. Then you can spend your item points mid-battle to make more, or to make more special stuff (coated ammo, kegs of doom). If you run low on item points you can attempt to salvage... most things to get more.

Work: It is always a subject of great annoyance when the only truly magical artifacts can only be found beyond the veil. Past that, one would have to find someone willing to make , part or find treasures like these with clear intent. Perhaps a treasure hunter like that exists in Iffram, but in their neck of the town it could be a while before such a person arrives.

[Story]
As a Drakkei, Rockwell always imagined it his duty to be at the front of the lines to protect what he'd like to call the weaker races. Not so much because of their worth as because of their actual frailty. The battle had proven him wrong however when he himself chose to retreat, leaving a single brave castor to hold off the horde as he recuperated. A tough decision which was making him rethink the outlook of his future at the front lines. However, despite his moody attitude, there was a victory to be celebrated. Heading to the town's bar, he'd enter, head held high, "I'l have an entire cask of ale!" he'd ask to the barmaid present before sitting down in a corner, nodding to Eldred who had apparently came in before he did.

[Quest]
After the events at the bar, an idea would flash in his mind, something he should have realized sooner. The key to his questions would lie in understanding the Drakkei heroes, legends and figures of the past, to see how they handled it, how they fought, their life's story, relive the greatness of his race's past to understand his own future. -Go read Drakkei history to brush up on confidence, martial skills, special techniques and tactics-

"It smelled like blood, you say? I'll take a look." Cray touched the ground gently and a stone jug rose up out of the ground. "I'll draw some mana from the river, see if I can filter out and collect whatever this stuff is. I should be able to figure something out from the color of the mana, but you might want to see if we can find an Alchemist to take a look as well. If the river is poisoned so close to town, we have to figure out what's going on."

Determine any magical properties of the substance found by Paige, especially any that might be dangerous to the townspeople.

It didn't take much long to realize that the offensive recipes in his textbooks wasn't going to work out with his way of working. For one, an Alchemist would rarely see the front, their job it seems would be best suited for supporting their peers with high yield explosives that they can handle themselves.
On the other hand, potions were meant to be drank after all

It was therefore imperative that he come up with a way of coming up with new recipes that are more focused on empowering his own peers.

And so, he began to test the effects of his work in pubs. It would also help with the money issue.

Fresh from jail, Eldred had caught wind of the dorf's plan. Dorf brew in this town, how could that be a bad thing? Graywind had always been a small village, and something to stimulate growth was something he could support. The rush of battle, having rediscovered his old tricks, Elm felt as if he had reconnected with his roots. And so, he signed on to this business venture.

The intoxicating elm tincture was consumed, a maple tree was called forth. "Hu̷l҉͞l̡͝o҉, ̨̀͡w҉͜e̡lc̶̢ǫm̴͠e ̸t͜͜o҉͟ ́͜t̕h̴e̕͟ ҉t̸͞e̴̸a҉m̧̢!̶͢ ͝͠W͏e̶'̵͘ļ̀l̴̢ ̸̧͠d̢r̷̡͞i̸n҉k͏͡,̡ ͘w̵̵̨è'҉l͝l͡ pa҉r͝t̴̷̀y,͢͞ ́w̷͟͟e̸͝'̴̶̨l͞l̛ ́͜d̶̀o͝ ̴͘à͝͝ l͟i̢͜t҉t̴̀l̸҉͞e̴͟ w͡͏̷ò̧r͢k̨̛ ́͏an̶̡d͠ ̛̕͞t̵̀h̷̴͡e͏̵͞n̵̶ w̶͏e̷'̛͝l̶l͝͞ ̨̧҉d̵҉r̴͟i͏ņk͜ ̢̧҉s̴̛҉om̧͠e͏͘͡ ͏̡m̛o҉͜r̴̸e̛̛͠!̕"

> You may only perform one quest, and attempt one job. So technically I can't actually count this. With that said Talon's action hasn't been processed so...

It was obvious from the start. And after a few drinks later Freyja finds herself looking over a giant wooden mold that outlined the giant. She didn't know if this was gonna work. Hell it was starting to become a terrible idea as the night wore on.

" Ok I want you to lie perfectly still, the wind is perfect for what I want to do with it... "

" And what pray tell are you going to do with it ?"

The dorf looked at the molten pot standing over a magic fyre. The details of such an acquisition were hazy at best, in fact a product of sheer luck. The things melting in the pot ? Smelted iron from all the tainted swords and pikes that the undead army wielded, that the town couldn't use.

For years now, the problem with castor mortality had been a pet project of many engineers and scholars. For one, how would one fuse the rock to that of a Castors ? It was believed that one chunk of rock was independent from the other and no amount of erosion or mortaring would allow such a fill in to hold. But here she was; a battlefield's iron supply and a system of pulleys and ramps. . . .

and as soon as the whole thing pieced together she looked on just as unsure as she was when she started.

" Uhm can I ask you something ? "
" Yes ? "
" Do Castors feel.... pain ? "
" What kind of pain are we talking here ?
" The burning molten lava kind "
" No."

With a hammerswing she breaks the wooden wedge, that kept the contraption back. And as soon as it tipped over, the iron runs sizzled and slithered as it poured over the wooden ramps and into the castor's torso mold. . . ..

>>20791302

The next morning. ...

After much chiseling, the Dwarf had worked on in silence. The memories of complications and potential tragedy behind her. For one, the Castor's shoulders were for a while unable to move. But now it's just stiff and heavy, complications similar to prosthetic /victims/.

" What are you doing ? "
" I'm etching storm clouds on the iron, before it completely cools down, I'd want to leave my mark on it. "
" The sun is beginning to rise, are you tired ? "
" I'm not . . . this is kind of amazing. Are you fine with this ? The damage is pretty much fixed but something this intensive means there are no do overs. Your arms are literally iron mechanisms now. If they break, repairing them will be costly. "
" I understand "

. . . .

[Story]
Freyja should sleep, she knew that but the exhiliration of doing something new, something truly unique ran through her veins like molten Iron . She couldn't sleep, not now, not after that. So she went in search of more to do. She wanders through both the village, and the forest before coming across a strange sight. A walking tree with a slurring human directing it imperiously. From his mumblings he was attempting to gather materials for a pub. Intrigued she began to give the two a hand. With her hammer such would be childs play.

[Job Seeking]
Freyja pitches in building the pub. She will maintain it, build things that need building , chairs and tables, and perhaps work on expansions. Maybe one day it will be an inn as well.

As a footnote, Story and Quest are the same.

It's the same singular thing.

You get one per warroom, totalling no more than 4 posts. And you now must wait till the next one to get more.

The 4 successive posts maybe used to build up off each other, multiple people can collaborate on the same end. But in the end must achieve a singular thing.

You realize I can't count these without a trip right ?

It was night and our lamps stabbed into the greenery in the distance as we spotted a courier in red. Her cloak carries with it a quality that drained everything around her of its color.

In our minds we could already surmise that she was either a messenger from the Queen, or a herald for a royal Vanguard.

But no such thing appeared.

We met her halfway, the town elder quick to approach, his eyes restless and anxious.

" An army, we required an army." he wheezes " Many men and women from dozens of towns over have already been corrupted by the damned ghouls and we cannot afford to let them through this gate for much longer "

A hand.

The courier in red raises it with an authority that no messenger I've ever known carried.

" Her majesty has already sent her armies forth, from Windsdale to Noonsign. This scourge is bigger than you think. And it is spreading actively. "

The man's eyes widen.
"Then if there are no armies then how are we to protect the gate with any guarantee of success? "
" It's simple, if you cannot guarantee protection of this leyling, the gate from GrayWind to the Veil will be destroyed to stem further corruption. " She says lightly. The pale of the moon lighting the fields clear as day. It was a mad moon this night. " However what I've come here for is the reverse, in fact you might be interested in this proposition more... do you care to hear it ? or shall I ready my spirits ? "

>>20794451
Eldred glances uncertainly at the elder, before taking a step forward from his side. "It is concerning that these ghouls are more widespread. We will hear your proposition."

>>20794451
"I shall stand in the defense of this town and its people, whatever their decision."

File: 1348123113751.png-(156 KB, 900x900, IFFRAMMESSENGER.png)

>>20794516

We believe that the ones behind the ghoulings could be traced back here, in southern Iffram, the enemy we are dealing with has advanced millitary training, capable of predicting where our numbers move, but limited resources as you can see by the rampant ghoulings and the odd maurauder group or two of unmen. And so, if we are correct, they have dug themselves in, and you are the closest staging point to get to them.

Instead of defense, I wish for you to offense, clear up as many roads as you can, connect to as many of the other cities in peril and together you will prevail just as the Ragnyllians did against their invaders. If only for a short while, until real reinforcements arrive to get here and spearhead the assaults themselves. "

>>20794739
"Some of the townspeople have expressed curiosity about what is causing these ghouls to spread, a curiosity I share. I am willing to help the other towns and seek out these invaders.

I only ask, who will defend Graywind when we are afield?"

File: 1348124432629.png-(160 KB, 900x900, IFFRAMMESSENGER02.png)

>>20794767

The defense of one gate is an easy task, that even I can do it alone. Take a handful of your own with you, everytime you go out into the veil, our objective is to open up the roads or the leylines to the other towns that have them. Of course we would have to get there first on foot to do so. And if there are indeed threats to the town, a simple portal spell back to this gate should be sufficient.


With this much advantages you need not worry, your jobs will be to make these connections as best as you can.

>>20794843

Speaking of portals, while the Capitol city won't be able to send their armies, we may instead be able to send down supplies to better equip your men. Perhaps a decent wand or two while we're at it. If your forays prove helpful, her majesty will supply us with more aide.

>>20794857

The Messenger in Red has sent her message.
A survey of the area maybe needed

> The shoppes will update
> Perhaps more survivors will arrive.

>>20794843
>>20794857
>>20794868
"I will not refuse my duty to Iffram or the crown. I will organize a team and we will travel to the nearest town with all due haste. We will hold off these invaders until reinforcement arrive. And if we can uncover their identity, I will see to it that the information gets to you."

The message delivered and the messenger departed, Eldred sighs and heads back to the bar.

As the wave of inebriation washes back over him, the spell holding him sober for the meeting having worn off, Eldred stumbles inside and tells some of the regulars to inform the townspeople to assemble the following morning. He may be a professor, but the mantle of responsibility was being laid on his shoulders.

[The Ash Hammer : Part 2 : The Novice]
[Story]
The sounds of birds woke Freyja from her slumber. She groaned at the stiffness that comes from sleeping on hard ground and slowly got up. The blanket someone had placed on her slipped to pool at her feet as she looked around in slight bewilderment. THe frame she used as a mold, blackened from heat stood a testement that it was not all a dream, she had really done it. It wasn't truly healing a Castor but it was as good as. She then turned to the forge, still warm from the heat of the previous night and examined the bloq she had created. Despite her success with the operation she still had no idea on what to do with the thing. Perhaps someone else would. She was not so arrogant that she thought she knew everything about crafting after all.

>Freyja wishes to search the town for soneone skilled in smithing and crafting to learn from them.
