[h2]ANNOUNCEMENTS[/h2] First off, let's welcome the lovely and sassy [@MiddleEarthRoze] to our ranks. [img]https://68.media.tumblr.com/e200b42656ccf24fb6699982767bf696/tumblr_ojek3hRuBa1sx8o26o1_400.gif[/img] NOW! We are going to embark on a smaller mission with all four of you. I'll do a time skip after Roze posts and introduces herself. I'll explain the mission in full. However, pertaining to after that mission is my next announcement. [b]I am going to be doing one of two things.[/b] [hr] [b]1)[/b] I am going to turn this RP into a Dungeon Diving RP where a group of Mercenaries/Soldier's of fortune delve into a Mountain to find a fabled Dragon's horde. The Dragon has long since fled, but many monsters have taken residence where the great Wyrm once resided. or [b]2)[/b] I am going to revamp this Campaign into a Pirate RP, sailing the open seas and plundering merchant vessels and exploring dense jungles, and raiding settlements if we're wicked enough. I am allowing you to switch your characters from this RP over, no questions asked. If you are against this idea, or you have a preference for one of the two above, let me know. [@BCTheEntity][@rush99999][@Jollan] Also BC, how would you like to handle Secret's convo with you on this timeskip? Shall we PM it, or would you like me to decide? Or I can make another post, and you can reply, and then my next post will be our timeskip and we go from there? Roze, here is a summary of what has transpired. [hider=Summary]Kayden, the Merc Captain and Morek the Dwarf, freed Jex the Drabarian bounty hunter from slavery. In turn, he gave them information of a Hidden fortress in the mountains, where his previous employers resided (they betrayed him and sold him into slavery themselves). A fortress of 50 outlaws. With the help of a sly Elven Rogue named 'Secret' who fed Kayden information, they invited a ragtag group of sellswords and mercs to meet Kayden and Morek at an old ruined guard tower at the outskirts of the wilderness. There, Kayden invited them to join his Mercenary company, for there was a Mercenary competition and whatever group brought back the biggest haul into the city of Starkvale would not only be allowed into the crowded city, but given a Guildhall and become a legitimate organization of soldiers for hire. Once they promised to join, Kayden told them of what he found out via Secret that the next day, the Bandits in the Fortress would attack a caravan of a traveling Noble, splitting their forces. Kayden led a strike team into the Fortress, and the other Mercenaries attacked the bandits who were raiding the Noble caravan. In one fell swoop, the Mercs destroyed the bandits and took over the fortress, though not without their losses, and not without fighting a Dark mage and a Death Knight at the climax (as well as an Ogre and a few Gnolls along the way). Now, a week later they are within the city limits with their own Guild. Some of the Mercs are resting at the taken Bandit Fortress 'Hillcrest' while Kayden and a few are in the Guild hall accepting new members to their growing group of Mercs.[/hider]
