Post By Royal Order of Sir Lucan D`Lere

~~~
Wednesday, October 18th, 3104. 12am:


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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Post "I'm here for the General..."

~~~
Wednesday, October 18th, 3104. 3:50am.


I arrive.

Promptly, I sprint to the Paladin guild... There's no mistaking where it is located here in Firiona Vie, even if you've never been here, before. I'm slightly in awe at the design of the surroundings, and my mind wanders for a few moments as I watch the soft glow of the moonlight dancing through the clouds...

I quickly glance at the scroll to recall the name of the Guildmaster, as I quickly approach the Paladin guild. The salty sea mist mingles with the sweat running from my nervous brow as I stand in front of the archway.

"I'm here for General Veredeth."

"This way, ma'am..."

(The guard gestures towards the General.)

"Well, Well! You made good time. What brings you to Firiona Vie? ...I heard you were coming, do you have something for me?"

I hand the General the previously sealed parchment. He gestures to an assistant by his side, and they fashion a small blue bottle filled with some sort of liquid...

The General takes an eye dropper from the bottle and carefully applies a few drops of the liquid to an empty section of the parchment, gradually revealing some additional text written with a special 'invisible' ink.

"Ah yes. This is an extradition order. I was almost expecting it."

"I'm confused." [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"The Koada'Dal... the Feir'Dal... and even the Teir'Dal, are all working together on this one... and apparently so is the Freeport Reserve Militia..."

The General continues:

"This directive demands the immediate release of one of our prisoners to Sir Lucan for some... *special*... interrogation. You are to escort the prisoner to Freeport and ensure that he arrives safely. You will have some assistance, of course..."

I nod in acknowledgement and bow on one knee, casually excusing myself...

...the General unexpectedly grabs my arm...

"Not so fast...! You don't by chance have any of that 'Griffin Stew' on you, do you?" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Already has, she was forced to slay a human in East Commons. Hence the reprimanding from the Freeport Militia [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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

There will be more events, I'm sure. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

Post 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!) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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