Forgotten Realms: Tales of the Dead

The monk passed the protective barrier without incident, barring some minor buzzing and light crackling on his skin.

Reverin's tower wasn't particularly impressive on the inside; the only room of note was the one at the top, the wizard's quarters. A simple bed on one side of the room, dozens of shelves all around, filled with various potions and scrolls. A sink somehow fit inside the entire mess, and a tiny mirror was buried in the wall. Below the sink was a small, barely visible cubby, with a small dagger, some scrolls and bracers inside. It was covered by a similar shimmering found outside on the fence.

The room at the top of the tower was much larger than the tower would let on from the outside, but small enough to feel very cramped with one person.

Outside, faint screams could be heard from the town, as an unknown threat descended upon it.

So, it looks like this will be a 1x1 until we get some fresh blood. Knight isn't responding to PMs, while being active in other roleplays, so I know he's seen them. Are you okay with running a 1x1 for now, @Sigil?

Gotta say, this tradition of people just vanishing without as much as a 'not interested anymore, bye' is very annoying.

@WhoamiI thought that was the first name of one of the players, OOC XD.

@WhoamiWho's Alexis?

@vietmykeCould be a very annoying private merc group that spends its days harassing starfleets, or infiltrating them to cause chaos. That'd give the team something to do on the ships.

But suddenly, a beam of light cut through the missile behind Maki...

'33rd Mercenary Squadron engaging enemy'.

That just screams Deus Ex Machina.

@SigilFlavour text, but you would be able to spot the commotion from the hill if you were so inclined. Guards rushing about on a wall is hard to miss.

@SigilOn that note, your time to post. We're skipping one rotation of knight, so you decide where you two go, assuming he picked up the wand.

The ring in the hands of Keystone buzzed with so much magical energy that even someone with no knowledge of anything magical would be able to feel its power. No doubt many enchantments laid in it, but they were not apparent to the fighter just yet.

Reverin's tower stood empty, and the mage's untimely demise had lowered some of the wards that depended on his lifeforce, but many others guarded the tower yet. He had not had the time to fix the two holes in the warded fence, and if inspected closely, one could swear the air was clearer and easier to see through.

The town of Two Stars was drifting off into sleep. Shops closed, candles were extinguished, and many a patron of a local bordello went upstairs with a paid for mistress for the night. On the walls of the town, guards strolled back and forth, keeping watch over the horizon and the misty outskirts. A heavy mist was drifting down the plains that day, moving northeast from Thay. In but an hour, it would blanket the town, hopefully bringing a little refreshment during the morning.

"Derrick, what's that over there, in the mist?" a fresh recruit poked a sleeping one. Derrick looked at what he was supposed to see, and his sleepyness washed over like he'd just had a cold shower.
" Sound the alarms! The city is under attack!"

An hour later, the cold mist crawled over the empty battlements.

I seem to be unable to retain a good selection of players. I am not sure if this is due to the RP moving slow or due to me being me.

Thoughts?
