Duels in The East Market

This thread is where duels within the The East Market RP will take place.

Please contact @Alamantus (or any Co-GMs) before posting here so he can organize the fight and get everything in order for a fair fight.

The rules are still being figured out, so for now, just work it out with Alamantus in OOC or in PMs, and everything will get in order with time.

@Alamantus I edited my post above your most recent post. Akkina just sent Durandal back to the Pawn Shop

@The Slenderman

Very cool. That's a good idea, because Humphrey would have freaked out if he saw that it was gone. ;)

"Ah, I see. Well, I have a fire affinity. I'm not good at it at all, infact I am really really bad at it. It only happens when I am angry and then it will lash out at anyone, sometimes not even affecting the person causing my anger. Instead it could hit me or even a bystander." Amara sighed deeply, closing her eyes. "Sorry, these aren't your problems." She opened her eyes. "Can you tell give me specific directions? Or perhaps give me a landmark or two?"

"Ah, fire! Very dangerous, that one. But it's beautiful if you can control it... Anyhoo, specific directions to the Magic Academy... Well it's quite simple, take a look at this map here,"
Humphrey pulled out and unrolled a very vague map of the East Market drawn on a large strip of leather and traced a path from his shop to the northeast corner of the market,
"and you'll see that if you follow the wall north—that'd be a right turn as you leave here—you'll pretty much just run into it in the exact farthest corner before the wall makes a hard left."

Humphrey smiled.
"It's a long walk, but it shouldn't be hard to find! And if you have any trouble, you're always welcome here."

As he entered the shop, he could see that the shopkeeper was finishing conversation with a young girl, something about magic. This interested KI maybe half as much as if they were talking about technology. Making sure his hood was down in order to look as innocent as possible, despite daggers and shiny metal bits of other weaponry sticking out of his wardrobe, KI politely waited for his turn to speak with the shopkeeper.

@Balthazar007

KI entrance into the shop was completely silent, not even tripping the bell. Humphrey gave a start when he noticed the cloaked man standing there.

"Oh! Hello there, sir! I didn't even hear the bell when you came in! I hope you haven't been waiting long. How can I help you today?"

I've just added a link to a general text map in the first post, so if you're interested in getting a general spatial idea of where things are, check it out! The roads and storefronts on the map aren't really any set size, but it at least gives an idea of where certain things are and where events are actually taking place when locations are mentioned.

I'm just tagging everyone who has ever posted in OOC in order for this update, so if you're not interested anymore, my apologies.
@ClocktowerEchos@The Slenderman@Fukazza@Shikaru@manapool1@xXSINXx@WittyWolf@GingerBoi123@User@Balthazar007@Mara Velrose

Let me know if something needs to be updated/added and I missed it! I'll be updating it as we go along, starting with the plaintext version and updating the HTML (i.e. pretty) version as I get a chance.

EDIT: Here's a link to it from right here, too, for your trouble:

@Alamantushey you there

@The Slenderman

Yeah, sorry! I'm getting to your PM next. I just had to summarize the story so far for our friend above real quick. :)

And just FYI, I can't usually get on here until 9 AM Mountain Time.

The East Market - Fantasy/Steampunk Character Development RP - *Rebooted!*

This looks like fun! But joining in after 88 IC posts is intimidating. I get the setting and have read and understand all the characters in the "characters tab". Can anyone give me a summary of any MAJOR points that have happened in the IC thread, any "must knows" if you will?

@Balthazar007

That's totally understandable. Right now, all that's really happened is:

• The Jester (Crapsy, Gencly, and Cork) is causing trouble. The troublemaker personality, Crapsy, trapped the other two personalities and prevented them from controlling the body with magic.
• Akkina the swordswoman showed up to the Pawn Shop that Humphrey owns, exchanged some kind words, and now is a security guard of sorts at the pawn shop. Unfortunately, Akkina has some severe social anxiety and some unfortunate panic attacks sometimes put her in dangerous situations.
• Silas the trapper saw Akkina while he was selling furs at the pawn shop and is head over heels for her. He just brutally murdered killed a guy that Crapsy set on Akkina.
• Randy the Junker set up a stall in the market selling creative weaponry, and Ava the bounty hunter is asking him to show her what cool swords he's got.
• Emilia got a magic ring from the pawn shop for a friend, met Akkina, and left after a crowd formed around Silas before Silas killed that guy.

You can really jump in anywhere, or even start somewhere else entirely! I'm about to introduce a dojo and a magic school, and I'm thinking of drawing up a vague map so people can have a better idea of where things are in relation to each other at this point.

A crowd was starting to gather around the men and Akkina and Silas. Emilia saw the crowd gathering and heard murmuring echoing back about a fight. A scream and gasps rang out from the inner crowd, and She figured she should try to stay out of trouble and swiftly walked away, heading out of the market.

Ak don't worry. She has a summoning magic that only works on weapons She has touched

@The Slenderman

That's handy! Very cool!
