Cloaked Mystery

@hybridlore

I don’t know much about harps, although from what I understand, they seem like the closest thing to a piano in the string family, so, yeah, they should be pretty good. Guitars are good at chords, which since they consist of multiple notes should technically mean that it manifests multiple Strings, but I may want to treat chords a bit…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Thanks!

Yeah, I don’t know violin very well, but I have heard that. (I’ve also heard it can do three but that it would be even harder.) However, Ilahna actually hasn’t used her violin yet. As a quirk of the magic system, she literally has more than one voice, so she’s actually singing four parts at once. The exact number of Voi…[Read more]

Rina —— (Elderstrand)

Rina furrowed her brow as the two began to bicker. Her sword slowly degraded into fragments, which fell to the ground.

“Seriously, what’s going on here?” she repeated. “And as a matter of fact, where is here?”

@loopylin @whalekeeper @hybridlore

Ellis —— (Edge of Deepwild)

They’re hopefully not robbers? Soulmight repeated. Wouldn’t she know?

Ellis, as usual ignored the sword. “Good,” Ellis said, waiting for the owners of the voices to appear. “So, am I.”

Ilahna —– (Border between Deepwild and Elderstrand)

Finally, Ilahna found the edge of the forest. Unfortunately, it was marked by a high wall. She stopped humming and let her Strings collapse. She looked up, examining the wall. It was about 50 feet high. She could probably make it.

She began a new melody, manifesting…[Read more]

Ellis — (Edge of the Deepwild)

Ellis was forced activate his sword in order to get through a particularly thick clump of brambles. Soulmight sliced through the bushes with satisfying efficiency, leaving the ends of the branches sizzling quietly. After a minute or so, he suddenly stumbled out of the trees.

He…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

How many people are in that group? Three?

Maybe I’ll have Ellis meet that group, and Ilahna can find her way into the city and meet @highscribeofaetherium‘s character?

@the_lost-journal

Rina —– (Everstrand, outskirts)

Rina instinctively made a portal as something came flying towards her face. An arrow shot out of a second portal behind her and embedded itself in the ground, quivering ominously. There was someone who appeared to be a city guard shooting arrows at two people who were somehow on the side of a…[Read more]

Phew! Done. So, it looks like the only characters that have not met up with anyone yet are Ellis, Ilahna, Klethen, Marcellus, and Everett (who hasn’t been added at all yet.) My two are in the forest, and seem to be the only ones, so they may just meet up with each other.

@whalekeeper

I mean, that’s a good thing, but then on the other hand, I now have to read four pages. : |

My goodness! Where did these four pages come from?!?

@ellette-giselle

Yep, weapons are allowed!

Okay, now to get started myself.

Ellis —– (Deepwilds) (As a reminder, this format is not required but may be helpful. Whether you use it or not is up to you.)

Ellis blinked awake, then scrambled to his feet and whipped out his sword.

“Where are we?” he demanded, looking around wildly. “What happened?” The green glow of his sword did little…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Yeah, minor NPCs like that are fine, as long as they make sense to be there.

Oh, yes, and I’m also going to indulge myself by picking out my third character.

Rina

(Pronounced “REE-nuh”)

Rina is 5’5″ has shoulder-length red hair (yes, 2 out of my 3 characters have red hair. It’s a coincidence.) and blue eyes. She wears a black hood and cape over otherwise non-descript clothing.

She is flamboyant and somewhat…[Read more]

The time has come!

Let the adventure begin!!!!!!!

First, let me set up the location that the characters will be arriving in.

It will be a fairly large area, so you will be able to choose where…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Good with me! What kind of setting will the characters be dropped into?

My idea was basically to have a “drop-zone” that would include the outskirts of a city, and possibly part of a bordering forest. It would be night, and they would have a chance of running into patrolling evil henchmen. This way, people can drop their characters in…[Read more]

@loopylin

I just realized this is an adventure rp, so there’s probably going to be a lot of action, but most of my characters are useless in a fight lol

In the original Character Party, there were a lot of characters like that (although most of them were probably already there before it turned into a fantasy adventure.) Interactions between cha…[Read more]

At this point, all but five of the people that I have on my list of interested in this RP have chosen at least one character, so it seems like we should be able to start soon. Would everyone be good with me kicking things off tomorrow morning? That gives everyone who hasn’t picked their characters yet the rest of the day to decide (and it’s also…[Read more]

@loopylin

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I was thinking. I was going to give the characters a bit of time to meet each other before that, because I think it’s better to let them interact individually before having them pulled into what would essentially be a big group meeting.
