There hasn't been much to write about here in Butcherblock after departing the Ocean of Tears. I've primarily been helping to unload all of this cargo; it's some pretty grueling work. :mad:

Just as soon as I start heading to turn in and get some much needed rest for the night, one of the dwarves flags me down, waving around a Sealed Letter in the air.

I immediately recognize the wax seal as being Sir Lucan's, so I knew it was important:

"Sir Lucan said this is very urgent, he knew you were still here!"

(I turn my back to the dwarf guard and carefully unroll the parchment, scanning over it's contents in privacy.)

"This is indeed very important... When are the next shuttles to Firiona Vie?"

"In about ten minutes."

(He points South.)

I board the shuttles from the South pier and take them to meet the Maiden's Voyage from Firiona Vie. I'm amazed at the sheer size of the ship. There's no way Freeport would ever have anything like this thing...

(I make sure to secure the parchment within a hidden false bottom sewn into the bottom of one of my backpacks.)

This trip is a bit farther than I'm accustomed to, and I start to feel a bit ill...

...who knew that a Spirit Pouch could double as a barf bag? :eek:

"I'm here for the General..."
 

i can't wait for you to encounter someone else flagged for pvp

Already has, she was forced to slay a human in East Commons. Hence the reprimanding from the Freeport Militia :mad:

Poor Breona... :D

It was a little uneventful, but it happened, so I incorporated it as best I could.

There will be more events, I'm sure. :cool:

I wonder how many players you will actually run into that are also flagged. Was the rogue the only one so far?

Actually, this could really add some different elements to your story the more I think about it. It just depends on if anyone else flags themselves...

There's bound to be at least a few people that end up rolling a red character to play around. :D

Either way, people will run into me in game and then end up in the "story" in some form or another, and that's cool too.

From Firiona, with love...

Wednesday, October 18th, 3104. Approximately 5am:


After my quick briefing with the General, I'm taken to the Iksar prisoner as he's prepared for transfer by boat.

We reach the dock and prepare to board, when I'm suddenly struck from my feet. Somehow, the lizard managed to tail sweep me, and also all of the other guards. A few are knocked straight off of the dock into the ocean.

Luckily, I'm able to pull myself to my feet, but in those moments he had already managed to unlock the rest of his shackles as one of the guards dropped the key ring on the pier as they went over.

One of my backpacks spilled open, and the lizard grabs my coin pouch and my Tome of Order and Discord (probably thinking it was my spellbook.) He flees North with my book in tow, straight out of town past the Trackers and other guards...


With the benefit of my Spirit of the Wolf magic, I pursue the escaped lizard North and to the West, following the stream past some extremely hideous half-spider, half-humanoid creatures that I had no intention of meeting any further. I narrowly miss death numerous times as the escaped Iksar manages to gain more distance by the minute.

I eventually lose track of the scaly felon as I search a sizable portion of the lake area on foot. I essentially give up after I find a large windmill area, and take some time to recuperate.

A Dwarf vendor is standing inside and I take a moment peruse his wares (forgetting that the Iksar thief had absconded with my money.) This dwarf seems to take special interest in my chain coat, offering to take it off of me for some coin (and quite literally so!) :o

I pocket an easy 40 platinum (and he gets a bit of a free show) as I change into a new Ceremonial Sarnak Emblazoned Tabard in exchange for my old gear... :p

I pack up and Gate back to Firiona Vie to take the next ship out.
