Kidnapping's solve everything! Especially when you decide "I'll escape from this village into the dark depths of the DuFair jungles OH GODS MY LEG."

Lol.Fuck.

It doesn't matter if he rejects them. In fact it'll make for awesome plot! You get to have an awesome dialogue with a god now!

A reminder! Can everyone post their characters in the compendium!
Also @Nantafiria you're more than welcome. A bit more info in the CS would be awesome!

@awesomerpg The character sheet needs to be more detailed. We know nothing of the character. Not sure if I'm ok with the slave idea, it needs to be handled in a mature fashion. Don't think it would fly with the gods.

[NewSun]

Fair enough, that makes sense. In terms of storytelling, I would love to get to have a conversation with a god, but I do still worry that it would be out of character to really carry out said god's request. Realistically, there would likely to be some extreme persuasion, or a backup plan to get him to go where he needs to go, maybe even some deceit.

[Darkmatter]

Deciet is an option if you want to go down that route.

[NewSun]

I'd be delighted.

[Darkmatter]

They'll be brief encounters.

[FrozenEcstasy]

Oh dear. Mr.GM sir. Sam meeting with a god... Again. It probably needs to be a god differing from the one that "cursed" him to keep his mystery for the time being. Or maybe it is the one who cursed him and we can dance around the looming subject of the curse while they talk about questy shit. PM me so we could maybe discuss the logistics of it? We still haven't decided on the God either >_>

[Chrononaut]

Going to get started on the next part, just making sure I'm not going to be interrupt anything Darkmatter might be writing.

[Darkmatter]

Feel free to work away. My next post will be the Big Bad's intro post.
The post after that will be back to Shankee arriving at the center of the plains of origin thus setting the scene for you all to arrive.
.
Nice song too. I personally love including visual and audio elements in my posts. A lot of my big story posts will include a scene setting picture or song!

Checking in, I shall post up Arnack as is for now and set to on some edits after a shower... Not that I haven't had one in two days or anything.

Arnack Clarn

Essential Information
Name/Aliases: Arnack Clarn
Sex: Male
Age: 50
Appearance: Arnack
Personality:
History: Arnack was born in the slums of Anghiem a dwarven city once renowned as the home of the Slayers, they brought in riches and treasures beyond compare, since though the city has declined much and the citizens are forced into fishing or mining. Arnack and his twin brother, Clalak were born to a beggar family eking out a living, aiding the fishermen when they returned with their haul and living off the scraps. Arnack was the stronger of the two and took it upon himself to protect his younger brother, being the eldest if only by a few minutes.

As they grew older Clalak began to worship the Slayers and aspired to join their ranks, but no matter how hard he tried Arnack was always stronger, tougher and faster and even though he had no particular will to be a Slayer he was picked over his brother and the other candidates. Since then the two have grown apart and have not seen each other since Arnack’s acceptance.

Arnack soon found that life as a Slayer was difficult, but also rewarding everyday he got a little better. For the sake of his brother he tried as hard as he could, though Clalak had failed he would at least not make Clalak bitter by failing. He learned how to fight all manner of things in all manner of ways. He learnt the theory of beast slaying, too where beast were weakest and where they were strongest, and most importantly where not to be when they attacked. Soon he rose to be the best Initiate in the group and was the first to be offered a Proving.

He was tasked with bringing back the horn of a Greater Rhinodon of the Zephyr Plains, a beast known for rampaging through the villages the tribesmen kept on the Plains. A Rhinodon was much like ordinary rhinoceros, only three times as big and much more intelligent, very few are left; in fact many thought they were extinct. Arnack suspected the council who disliked him, due to his beggar heritage wanted to send him on a quest to his death.

Nevertheless he set out towards the Plains and after much searching, almost six moons worth until eventually he heard tales of a Rhinodon rampaging amongst a herd of its smaller kindred.
He caught up to the herd as they grazed upon the plains lazing in the sun’s heat. He counted over thirty Rhinoceros in the herd, but he was a Slayer he remained undaunted and using what he knew of the beasts’ weakness he snuck up on them, disguised as a shrub.

Still with no sign of the Rhinodon he began to despair until he heard a roar then the thump of hooves on the ground. He quickly turned and drew his spear, scoring the beast along the shoulder as it charged into his weapon. Undaunted the beast rounded and charged again. The rest was a blur to Arnack his battle instincts took over and finally the beast lay dying at his feet. He took the beasts horn and gave it’s body to the tribesmen it had terrorised, bringing new life with its meat.

He returned to the Slayer’s Fortress victorious, but a few were not too glad to see him back and after a hasty ceremony he was given a three month recovery period. He finally caught up with his brother Clalak, who seemed to be doing well for himself, though he refused to say how or why.

After Arnack returned the Grand Sair sent him back out into the world on the mission every Slayer is given, to defend the people from the night.

Optional Information
Equipment: A double bladed axe, a short spear and a full set of steel battle armour (In his saddlebags), a pony, also wears leather armour for day to day. Field rations and a survival kit, consisting of cooking implements, firemaking kit and a small tent with a bedroll.
Faction (If any): Slayers of Anghiem
Marital Status: Slayers ain’t got any time for that.
Magic (Mundane or Arcane): Mundane for the most part with a little latent pyrokinesis, although he can’t start a fire and the only affect it has is flames tend to lean towards him despite the wind. With some training he could possibly gain some control.
Skills:
Slayer Training: As a fully Proven Slayer he has learnt all that can be taught, what is left to learn must be earnt the hard way, in the fires of battle. He is able to wield most weapons with some proficiency, but his true calling is the axe.

Slayer of Anghiem

Essential Information
Name: Slayers of Anghiem
Location: Southernmost part of the Forayish Woods, on the peninsula known as Lasair’s Blaze (thought to be where Lasair first left Endwuin to create Bolecawn),The City of Anghiem, Fortress Salair.

Purpose: To protect any and all from the beasts and evils of Enduwin, including dragons.
History: The Slayers are a proud and old people born of mostly dwarven stock although it is not unknown for other races to be a Slayer. They hand pick their members when they reach a suitable age for learning to fight, there is no clear age due to different races having different lifespans. From the ancient times the Slayers have stood against the rage of the beasts traveling far and wide to guard the lesser folk, those not born for a life of war.

With the magic of Trayig declining the Slayer have declined too, no longer do great and mighty dragons roam the land in their dozens, or evil magicians destroy villages nightly. The Slayers have declined from nearly a thousand to barely a hundred members. Those that do wish to join the Slayers must be the best of the best, the strongest of the strong, and the bravest of the brave. For Slayer lore tells of a great darkness overtaking the land, for then Slayers will be needed more than ever.

Beliefs: The Slayers believe it is their duty to protect and serve the people in the name of the god Lasair. They believe whilst Lasair is a god of fire and rebirth he does not wish undue destruction and death upon the gentler folk of Endwuin. And so it is the Slayers duty to take up his banner and guard the people from all manner of beasts that plague Endwuin. If a dragon is terrorizing a city expect the Slayers, if bandits are on a killing spree expect the Slayers to be there with blades and fire. In times past some great Slayers have been known to receive the Blessings of Lasair and learnt to wield the powers of Lasair in battle.

Optional Information
Key Members: Grand Sair Mandilor, one of the last Slayers gifted with the blessing of Lasair, he is quite old and many believe he should be replaced but none presented are suitable candidates.
Proven Arnack Clarn
Advantages: Trained in spears, swords and axes of all manners the Slayers will use anything to hand. They are trained in the use of heavy armour, but when travelling most prefer to go in a mix between light and heavy.
Disadvantages:
The Slayers have an aversion to large bodies of water; this might explain why they haven’t just popped over to visit their Godly patron. The Slayers don’t make much use of ranged weaponry and prefer to go hand to hand, whether faced with a dragon or a man; they can be vulnerable to marksmen too.
Ranks:
Grand Sair: leader of the Slayers, literally means Grand Fire
Initiate: The rank all Slayers attain once they have been picked.
Proven: The rank all members reach when they have proven they have what it takes to be a Slayer, after a challenge set by the Grand Sair and his council. At this stage they are free to roam the world and tasked with identifying threats to Endwuin’s safety, doing what they can to help and bringing back trophies of their victories. After a year they are to return to Fortress Salair and report anything of sufficient danger to the council.

Rules/Laws: Protect the common folk, and fight all evils unleashed upon Endwuin.

On second thought and after reading over everything again I don't think I will change anything. So upon your acceptance I shall commence a post.

@NewSun why not have a god convince him that the mission will somehow kill Duv for good? Although whether that is even possible remains yet to be seen.

Edit (yet again): Well, my post is done too. First inspiration I've had in a while. Going to wait for re-approval to this version before posting to IC and CS thread not much has changed though aside from a few spelling errors and rewording of the last part of his history. Since we are all meeting with the gods that is the basis of my post.

Loving the sheet. We had a serious lack of dwarves thus far ;) Ale for all, right?!

Also on the note of killing Duv for good: I don't think Duv is the antagonist, but even if that were so, it is part of his master plan regardless. Though doing it at the request of another god would not be an option for him. As far as he is concerned, all the gods are evil, lying, corrupted beings that need to be vanquished. I figure the only way I could plausibly make Eeiys go to the plains of origin through divine influence would be a god outright deceiving him and posing as somebody else, or somehow having them teleport him to the plains, though I don't know if that would be allowed / within their power. Gotta check with warkDarkmatter.

[Zran]

farkmatter? Yeah well I guess I know a little more from the old thread. True we aren't directly facing Duv. Guess I've been playing too much God of War lol.

You think he has enough Ale to share?

Just the vessel of Duv, I presume. Still, going full God of War is literally exactly my character's motives, so you're not far off. If I don't get to kill at least one God by the end of this RP, I will be severely disgruntled.

And yes. He's a dwarf. What's a dwarf without enough ale to make a whole village merry?

[Kiddo]

NewSun said What's a dwarf without enough ale to make a whole village merry?

A disappointment.

[Darkmatter]

@zran approved of course. I look forward to the new post.

@Newsun and probably everyone else. The gods are using up what power they have to reach out to Enduwin from Neyav to assemble a party, as best they can, to combat the growing evil which will become more apparent in my next IC post.
