Open Legend - Let's Do The Thing!

5-1, couple points:
1) I admit I didn't give you much to work with.
2) Are you going to search around for clues? Might have to talk to people. And on the point of talking to people:
3) In tabletop RPGs, the GM/DM handles the NPC dialogue (with rare exceptions like Houses of the Blooded, but dice are a little more valuable in that). In this case, the dialogue didn't further the story. Don't worry about taking it out now that you have it, though.
4) As a result of #3, there is something you'll have to roll for that little interaction. I'll tell you what when I make my next post.
5) Much improved. Next step is to avoid redundancy - "necklace on her neck" "he smirked....she saw the smirk" "necklace....necklace....necklace....necklace". Keeps people from feeling like they read the same line over and over again.

Also, don't worry about matching post length. Work on the quality first (which you are improving -nodnod-), then the length.

Before Draj can finish saying to keep their blades at the ready, he sees a movement out of the corner of his eye. It stops, and he can see it no more. Unless whatever moved made it to the other side. A little maniacal, high pitched cackling erupts off to his right, as well as some rustling bushes. [Make a Perception check] Whatever it is is moving around, and there are no doubt at least several dozen of them. All of a sudden, the motions stop and everything is still.

Screams. That's all Angela can hear in all directions. Everywhere. Like an entire village being slaughtered. [Make a Survival check: 17] While you're not from this area, you have some knowledge of how areas like this tend to work. People clearly don't live in this area or you would have seen more roads. Probably more footprints. A lot less illusions. You know something's off, but you mainly deal with hunting people, not whatever this is.

There is an eerie silence, or what would be silence if not for the cacophany of Ravens around Evyrless. [Make a Perception check] However, having some experience with ravens given your faith, you know that these sound just a little...off. You can't quite place what it is. Something is very wrong, but they are most certainly not real.

Lorenthar can smell...something. The scent is for some reason not registering as anything he can recognize. He can also smell the Feywilds still, despite the destruction of the gate. He, too, sees movement out of the corners of his eyes. [Make a Perception check] Given your nature as a druid and your connection to nature, you have a rough inclination of what is going on, but know that if it's fey, and they're set on harming you, they're not the kind of fey you want to be around long.

Unlike the others, Harriet sees nothing unusual in the area. [Make a Perception check to see if this stays the case]

Evyrless (and Jazo by extension)

You have passed through many towns on your quest for information about your current state. You've asked around, tried not to give up too much information about yourself. Of course, that doesn't mean stories haven't spread about you already, often arriving before you. Apparently, someone's been saying you're immune to all diseases, or immortal, or the cure to many strange diseases. Not you specifically, of course, but someone very much like you based on the verbal descriptions. It's gotten you a few looks, but not nearly as many as you'd expect. Apparently, most people are super unobservant.

You've arrived at "home" in Qarn. You figure your best chance at finding answers would be here, in theory, with it being the capital and all. Doesn't mean you'll find your answers, or that they'll come cheap...or that there won't be strings attached. But it's a better chance than in some backwater without so much as a library.

Best part, though, is you didn't come alone. Or maybe not the best part, since you didn't have a choice but to be followed by a surprisingly civil, albeit still brash, goliath and his pet fox that he carries on his shoulders. The fox, curiously, has antlers. The goliath...doesn't. But he'd probably look quite fetching with some. Or with a beard.

Mal (and Wren by extension)

The town had been quiet other than some rumors about an impossible girl who was immune to pretty much everything. Which is good, because you hadn't really wanted to go to town in the first place. There's only so much you can do once animals start getting scarce, however. The missus (she hates when you call her that) keeps track of all your money for you and assures you that the few encounters with other hunters to whom you have sold weapons has earned more than enough money to feed both of you through the winter. And it's not like she'd need a lot to eat, staying in her fox form all the time.

But then you saw another woman. A very cute other woman. What made her cute was a mystery to you, of course. But most things were, so that's no surprise now, is it? She seemed to be asking around about...something complicated and out of your field of expertise. Which again, was pretty much everything. As she leaves, looking forlorn, you follow. The fox on your shoulders nudges your head a few times to get your attention, specifically to remind you that you're there to buy food, but you simply must protect this cute lady on her way to...Qarn, was it? That was an easy word. Not that B one you were born near. Or think you were born near.

On the way, you hunted. The animals seemed much more plentiful on this side of the city. The woman strangely seemed to be ignoring you. But you were here to protect her, and finally, FINALLY, when she stopped to rest, you were able to stop, too. Through some miracle, she agreed to allow you to continue following her as long as you needed.

The weirdo.

Stacey

You had been in Fallen Hope for weeks, and had had no progress in finding a cure for your mother. Thankfully, temples tend to be good places to gather information and rumors with all the people there. One of the temple-goers seemed especially fond of rumors as of late, and on one particular day, you overheard snippets of conversation about a woman who seemed to defy the usual need for cures to ailments, who was seemingly immune to everyday illnesses.

Sure, you had no idea whether the rumor was true or not, but it was a lead - your first lead, in fact. So you asked for permission from the head of the temple, and despite their misgivings and, frankly, complaints that you were leaving already after just coming in to fill the void left behind by the previous absentee cleric, were granted leave.

According to the rumor, this person was on their way to Qarn. You recently arrived, but have no hint as to who it is or where they would be within the city.

What do you do?

(Note, to whom it applies: Wren has not left fox form since before joining Evyr.)

@Mesonyx@JBRam2002 There will probably be an opening for the person who asked for this in the first place. -nodnod-

...how does he manage to be cute? There is no reason he should be cute, but he is.

As long as you have the answers at some point. Still waiting on two sheets other than yours, and still waiting on all 5 character questionnaires and the group one, so you've gots all the time for now. ^~^

Open Legend - Let's Do The Thing!

ALMOST REEEEEAAAAAADYYYYYYY~ SO EXCITE MUCH HAPPY WOW.

DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

Three of five, and the other two are almost done last I heard. Don't have answers to the Character Questionnaire and Group Questionnaire from either any of group 2 unless I'm missing them somehow. (character one in PM (unless you hate people not knowing EVERYTHING about your character, which I think ruins the fun), group one in here)

DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

The real benefit of having a cleric in the party is having a direct connection to a deity. And if that deity is proud of your work, you'll know it. Such is the case when you stop people from cheating death, and have a deity that supports that goal. The signs aren't always obvious. You're not going to get a lot of gods just popping down for a visit all the time. They communicate in ways such as, like is the current case, with a flock of ravens perching around your group among the numerous, more verdant than normal trees. Silently. And then vanishing, leaving you to a much needed rest, with only one of their companions there to watch over you.

Everyone had fought their hardest, and didn't take nearly as much damage as they could have (See note at the end), and while not everyone probably believes it's safe to rest immediately after such a battle, the majority agree that it is probably in your best interest to at least take an hour to rest and recover. (This is the beginning of that hour. You do not yet get the benefits of a short rest, such as HP and ability/spell recovery).

OOC Summary

This takes place immediately after the battle with the warlocks, before a short rest (from which you do not yet receive benefits! This is your intro time, in other words, where you have a short time (probably shorter than you want) to talk to each other, and maybe commend/condemn each other for actions that took place on the battlefield). I've randomly rolled damage for each party member (2d8 so I wouldn't kill anyone), and am listing some other effects that are a direct result of this.

Angela sustained 11 damage in the attack, and cast one 1st level spell.
Draj sustained 10 damage in the attack, and cast one spell.
Evyrless sustains 7 damage from the attack, and cast two 1st level spells and one 2nd level spell (note: write down your spell slots. You have a total of 4 1st level spell slots and 2 2nd level spell slots, and half of them are expended)
Harriet sustains 7 damage from the attack and is not a caster, but expend 2 of her 4 superiority dice.
Lorenthar sustains 13 damage from the assault, and expended two 1st level spells and one 2nd level spell.

Of course I roll better than normal for hurting you guys. -_- I think my dice just hate the player side, whether I'm on it or not.

DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

This is nothing in comparison to like GURPS or even Eclipse Phase.
D&D 3.5/Pathfinder, though, were the harder D&Ds. And you didn't even have to calculate THAC0 in them anymore. (I loved THAC0 ;~;)

@Landaus Five-One She's used to me. ^~^ SHE KNOWS MY THOUGHTS. It's super creepy.
