It's been 6 years? What? WHAT YEAR IS IT!
Anyway, I'm back to take a look around! Used to be part of the Old Guild like.. 7 years ago, where I did a lot of RP. Trying my hand at this again now that I've got a lot of free time working from home.

oh wow. Congratz!
I sense a decline in activity....
Also, Sky, you haven't left the colony boundaries, so no worries. I was talking specifically about leaving the boundaries of the colony.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Act 2: Half way mark----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The tick-tick-tick of the scribe tapping his inkwell was all that could be heard in the hall. Ryuun Hisari ran a callused hand through his auburn hair and gave an irritated glace at the scribe, who gave a nervous glace back at him before clearing his pen and readying himself to write. As if on queue a man opened the oaken door at the far end of the hall. A broad shouldered dwarf stepped into the room and shut the door behind him. He crossed the hall at a measured pace, looking forward all the while, before stopping at the foot of the stairs that lead up to Ryuun's chair.
"What is it, Thul-tak." Ryuun said. His voice was deep and weary, as if he'd done this dozens of times before.
"I require that you draft some of the new blood into the mines. We need fresh bodies. The boys are exhausted." Thul-Tak coughed deeply and wiped what looked like coal dust from his otherwise brown beard.
Ryuun looked at him intently, eyes gleaming gold down at the dwarf before him. "The new blood are to be assigned to their roles before tomorrow's sunrise." Ryuun said. "Although I doubt any of them will be accompanying you." Thul-Tak hmphed at that.
"We can't keep this up, Ryuun." Thul-Tak's previously tightened fists eased. Ryuun shot a look at the scribe, who made wide-eyes back at him before picking up his parchment and quill and making a hasty retreat. The left-hand servant's door shut with a quiet clack.
"It's too deep. The heat is as likely to kill us as the skarves now. The Ancients used magic far beyond our understanding, there's no way we can reach it." Thul-Tak's voice was low to keep prying ears at bay.
"I am working on that. For now, make what progress you can without endangering the men overly much. They don't know we're on to them yet, Thul, Let's keep it that way."
The brown haired dwarf nodded his had solemnly and turned toward the oaken doors. "Anything we do is like to result in somebody dying, Ryuun." He coughed again.
"Then stay put, but I only want to see your crew when you should be topside, or when somebody makes a supply run. We have to do this delicately or more people will die."
"Aye, M'lord." Thul-Tak said. "Not too much of us, see you in a moon's turn." With that he left the hall and closed the big doors. The silence was deafening. Ryuun sighed before picking himself up off his chair and exiting through the entrance on his right, to his personal tower.

my post will be fairly short. just a half way mark post and some input from shri-rah, maybe a paragraph or two
Alright, I'll be posting the half way mark in a moment then. Just a note for the next half: now that you have all more or less settled into your Inn rooms, feel free to explore the town, talk to people. If you intend to talk with anyone of import, such as Shri-Rah, Vriis-Nar, the expedition head (Ryuun Hisari), the captain of the watch, the mining chief, or anyone else of high standing, let me know so that I can either voice them or tell you how they would respond to certain inquiries or topics. You are welcome to leave the colony boundaries (beyond the watch towers), but don't go taking off into the wilderness please. A walk around, a looksie, maybe collect some things, just don't go way out there. you'll be able to do that during the next act.
If any of you intend to leave the boundaries, the guards will insist that you take an escort with you, you don't have to oblige, but they're still people, and they take their jobs seriously. So be prepared for some ill feelings if you refuse.

If I'm, correct, we're half way through this act, right? Everyone has posted once?
your homes have not been built yet, but since everyone in Ialdia is bonded, yes technically they are for bonded pairs. Generally, based on specification, they are either 1 or 2 bedroom and are usually 1 story. generally 800-1000 sq ft. Since each of you will be participating in the creation of your homes in the next act (and also going on respective expeditions. HUZZAH!) the layouts will be entirely up to you individually.
hellloo?
I forgot to label that the gray and white thing on the left is a mountain.
