[quote=Crya] @Rock Killjoy: Overall you're doing fine, that is pretty much the extent of the control you can have over an NPC. Not fully what I would have had the captain say, seeing that if you knew everything about the Alessian Empire and its actions from the OP this roleplay would be no fun. But it's ok. If you want some advice I'd say to have separate paragraphs between speakers. I understand that this point in the roleplay you can't do much by yourselves (think of this as the intro/prologue to the story). If anyone wants to collaborate on a back and forth between the Jarl or what they find when they go looking for evidence, let me know. I think we can find out a lot more about the Alessian Empire and advance the story faster that way. [/quote] Back-and-forth, eh? Between the jarl and whom? I wouldn't be opposed to playing the guard captain to your Jarl, if that's what you're implying. I wouldn't see much reason the Jarl would have for telling any of our lot, caked with road-dirt and freshly arrived.
