[OOC] The Lonely Tavern (Open to all)

[Spybuster]

The Lonely Tavern

Upon its secluded hill, they all arrive here at one point or another. Either in search of fame and glory, or the odd chance of companionship in far away places...

Welcome! The Lonely Tavern is where adventurers and folks from all realms or another can meet and mingle within. This is to be particularly a fantasy themed setting, in which fantasy themed characters are all welcomed. At the start of our setting, the Tavern will be somewhat of a dirty abandoned mess. As time progresses, events unfold, quests are completed, the tavern will begin to take proper form, and perhaps even open up more rooms.

First thing's First, look at Rule #1

---

Rules

1. Your character must be appropriate to the setting. (Fantasy themed) A full length character sheet isn't required for this, but you must at least post in the character's tab these select things. (Character name, picture or description of appearance, and a few lines detailing who they are.) Do this before you post in IC please.

Basic CS

1. Appearance:(Picture or description)
2. Name:
3. Bio: (A short bit of information about your Character. Race, proffession, etc..)

2. Lets all try to get along OOC wise. In IC, there will no doubt be some character's who don't get along with each other.

3. The main room of the tavern has only FOUR corners, and only two of them have tables in them. If you all plan to be edgy assassins and rogues who wish to lurk in their shady corners, prepare to share the space.

4. When it comes to posting, try to write at least a paragraph. If you have a lack of content to work with, or need to post something with all do haste, a few lines are acceptable.

5. Most of all, have fun and enjoy your time.

6. If you wish to have your character leave, please wrap up whatever activity or conversation you are having first out of respect for your fellow RPer. If you can not do this, at least inform them OOCly or by private message that you've left the rp. I wont enforce this, but courtesy is always a nice bonus.

7. No god-modding (If thats what folks still call it these days?) Don't "take control" of another person's character without their permission.

The Tavern Layout

(I promise this is getting a visual map soon)

Outside:Apart from the grand view, the outside is rather sparse and empty. A few boulders and trees are seen scattered around the mountain top, and old stone benches stand firmly in place as they always have around an ancient well. An outhouse can be found under a tree on the edge of the cliff

Main Floor: A loosely attached chandelier lights the main room and its mess of tables and chairs which fill the room. Several stools are gathered in front of a cluttered bar counter which still has a stock of old wines, ales, meads, beers, and other assorted brews behind it. The walls surrounding the room are barren and dull. Shevles and racks could have once been decorated with a vast array of trophies and trinkets, but that is no longer the case. From here several paths lead off to different parts of the tavern. Along the wall which the bar counter is, a door which leads to the kitchen can be found. By the entrance is a set of stairs which lead up to the second floor, although they appear rickety and unsafe. Below those stairs are another flight of stairs which lead to the basement.

The Kitchen: Some would go as far to exclaim that the chambers of the pestilent god of plagues and diseases would be cleaner than this place. Dirty dishes and bowls fill the sinks and litter the floor. Something or someone probably died in the pantry possibly too. A spit remains cool and lifeless, but altogether still very much functional. A large cauldron lies on its side, its discarded contents spilled across the floor

Second Floor: From the balcony above, you can looking down into the main floor. Beside the balcony are a few more sets of tables and chairs to reside at. Further down the hall however appears to have fallen into disrepair, and the bedrooms however appear to be in okay condition.

Basement: It appears to be divided into three sections. The first room you'll come across is storage, which appears to be filled with dry breads and more drinks. To the left is a doorway leading to a small bath house. The large stone tub is empty, but runic symbols at the bottom of it can visibly be seen. To the right is a public dormitory with hay stuffed beds, which was probably meant to be rooming for poorer occupants.

It is possible that more rooms exist, but this unusual tavern may not reveal them so willingly...

[Spybuster]

Man.. I really need to stop starting rp's in the middle of the night.

[Legion-114]

May I suggest having some kind of floor plan that updates as we unlock rooms etc?

[Spybuster]

Like a visual representation? Sure I can do that. Though my art skills are horrendous, but I could probably scratch something up in a short bit, or find a friend who could make something better than I could.

@Spybuster

I can help with this I think. It would only be in MSpaint, but I can whip something fairly decent up.

[Spybuster]

While I appreciate the help, I think i'll be able to MSpaint it as well. It wont be anything too fancy, but it'll serve as a good structural layout, and the basis of what to make if anyone would want to pretty it up later.

[Scarifar]

So, I can just put a short cs in the cs tab and jump in, right?

[Nevix]

Mind if I hop in, this seems pretty cool.

@Scarifar

Yep. It's as easy as that.

@Nevix

Sure! This is a rather open rp, feel free to hop in. Now i'll get to IC posts in about an hour, I need to wrap up a few things real quick.

[Nevix]

So, can I write or should I wait?

[Spybuster]

You don't have to wait. Feel free to start. @Nevix

[Nevix]

@Polybius Interesting character, don't see very many gnomes or bards outside of Dungeons & Dragons.

[Pirouette]

Pulled from my list of characters I haven't played fully, so there are references to places that might not be in here but that hopefully won't be a problem.

Actually, too many rogues so far. So let's try something else...

Vala

Appearance:
At 5’9” and a smaller build, Vala looks like a typical Northern with blue eyes, blonde hair, which is usually kept up in a braid, and fairly pale skin. For the most part, her skin is rather free of marks and scars but there are a few exceptions. Right shoulder has a small scar from an arrow and a scar right around her right hip where a sword pierced through her entirely.

Name: Vala Lynstad
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Occupation: Master-at-Arms for the Sae Hrafn
Weaponry:
Vala primarily uses a standard long sword with a rounded-shield for protection. As a backup, she has a knife. For variety, she is pretty accurate with a short axe, both as a primary weapon and a projectile.
Skills:
Vala comes from a Northern Longship and has established her sea legs and can handle rough waters. She lead men into the defense of said Longship and can help direct forces in battle. Her primary skill is her ability in combat, both with weapons and without.

Backstory:
Vala hails from Northern Coasts of Ecen, specifically a lonely island just off the coast called Marstal, and if you are living in Marstal, you probably either fish or sail for the navy. The sea always plays a big part of those who live on that tiny island and for Vala, she grew up just like any kid, craving the adventure that the older generations tell tales of. Of course when you finally get there, life at sea is a bit crueler and less dreamy than the tales.

It wasn’t too typical for women to join up with fishing crews, as there was no guarantee that your shipmates would have pure intentions, and in order to join the military ships, where things like that would never happen, you had to have at least a year of experience on the sea. So Vala sighed onto her Uncle’s ship where she was protected as her Uncle’s attendant.

After her year was up, she signed into the navy. Starting as a simple oarsmen, she eventually rose to the rank Master-At-Arms at the age of 21. Four years she went from ship to ship, not really settling down anywhere permanently. Unfortunately her time for the Marstal Navy was cut off after being exiled for kinslaying the very same uncle who took her in. Despite Vala's adamant attempts at justifying her actions, the Jarl found her guilty and demanded her casted out from the isles. The young Skjaldmær should consider herself lucky, though. Death is usually the preferred arrangement for kinslaying.

[Spybuster]

@Pirouette Sure that's fine. As it stands actually my current character is one I barely got to use in an old rp too.

@Spybuster

Just in case you didn't see it, I swapped for a different character.

[Spybuster]

@Pirouette Works for me still. I guess you can go boss all us wimpy rogues around now. Anyway time for me to get the ball moving.

[Pathfinder]

@Spybuster
I'd like to join but it may be a bit before I can create anyone, I'm having a bit of a crisis at the moment.

[Spybuster]

@Pathfinder Alrighty mate. I intend to keep this completely open, but if in the case I do close it to application only, I'll keep your name on the roster.

Hope whatever your crisis's are, go well for you. Good luck.

[Nevix]

Just realized that I've written more than anyone else. I'm going to chill out for a bit. I give you all permission to control Edric, just don't off him.

360noscopes Edric on a D6+3.
Say what? :)
