Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

So, this post assumes that everyone has made their way back to the tavern, and is near ready, if not completely ready to go. The quicker people respond, the quicker and smoother this will all go over. Ultimately, this gets the ball running.

Genevieve is an npc who I created. She has a single, important, yet sideline role to help fill in the blanks and move things along.

This is a start of a conversation, so obviously I'm not expecting everyone to post. But I would like to see some things from Regina and Siegfried and Durin and or Kayleth. In some capacity or another. Use your imagination, come up with something to post, even if it's a one liner "he eyes _____, and tries his best to stay clear of him." Anyone who is not actively participating in some way or form, I will take it as your character is not joining the rest of the group. Because in the end, the longer you wait to post, the harder it's going to be to join in on things later on.

Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

Genevieve crept around corner after corner, skulking in the shadows, trailing not far behind the group. She was careful not to draw any attention to her, blending in flawlessly with the crowd. She was no one special in this town, at least not yet.

She had mind to interrupt their conversation quite a few times. But every time she did, a new adventurer joined on their path.

First, a foreigner or sorts. His weapons, his mannerisms- he was clearly not from around here.

Then a guard. "Gods damn us all", she thought, only then, perceiving just how interested the government had become in the group. They truly just didn't grasp how much bigger than them this all was. Waeldeshore of course wasn't the only place affected.

She didn't quite like the people of Waeldeshore. Especially those within the guard. "A piss poor excuse for warriors, the lot of them. Only worried about running magic out of the town, they have no clue what is really going on."

Again she thought to interrupt them, but again, they had another join in. This one seemed to be a beastly fellow, dressed in animal hide, large, rippling muscles and quite the intimidating demeanor.

Not too long after, a half orc came along. She too joined them as they walked back to their meeting place.

It wasn't until the group made a full circle back to the tavern, that she realized just how vague yet frighteningly accurate her tomes had predicted the current state of affairs. One thought kept circling in her mind "How is this ragtag group going to defeat the evil that threatens all of humanity?". She felt it, and there was something in each of them that told her they felt it too.

Her presence was all too small, her voice was soft and meak, but she approached them anyway. "What do you say to them? How does one get their attention?", her face reddened, her hands were clammy.

Before the group of half breeds and hins stood a thin and gangly woman, her brown eyes buried under a thick pair of brown rimmed spectacles. Golden brown hair was pulled back into a bun that sat just between her ears.

"Excuse me", she grunted softly, clearing her throat before finally speaking up.

Not far from the group, dressed and draped in heavy armor and surrounded by his Captain of the guard, and their most skilled soldiers, was the Lord Marshall himself. Making his rounds, doing what they could to aid in relief efforts. What else would they be doing?

The group of plate and steel were helping a local merchant clear away some of the debris that had cluttered up and blocked pathways. The townspeople of Waeldeshore couldn't take another attack. Their moral was in the dumps, and more than half of their soldiers were still healing up in their infirmary- those that survived anyway. But the man in the long red cape was right there in the drudge, doing what he could to help.

To anyone who is around, I'm out of work, and in my favorite place brewing up a post. Hope to have it posted before I go home.

The only thing I ask, I'd to make sure that the player is intending for their actions to be transparent, or that your character is knowledgeable enough that they would see through any attempt of disguise

Anywho, I'm sorry for my lack of posting. I've been so busy, between work and everything else, I haven't had a moment to myself. So much for taking the time to carefully construct my post :p

I will have something up soon, I promise. For now, I have to get to bed. Thank god the weekend is finally here.

Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

Go for it @Letter Bee, I'm going to post after work today.

Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

I'm finally out of work, will be home shortly and ready to try and push out a post

Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

@boomlover there is a lot that could be discussed, and a lot that people can post about. But I don't want to make you guys wait any longer. It is a bit frustrating, but I'm hoping that things will smooth themselves out.

This is part of the reason why characters will be splitting up in 2 groups. So nothing/no one is passed over when posting reactions to things. I know it can be a bit difficult and daunting to post a reaction to something that half the cast has moved on from.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize what you were asking for. But it will all situate itself soon enough.

Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

I agree with @The Harbinger of Ferocity. There is so much going on, I think it's more of people not knowing what to post as opposed to there not being anything to post about.

However, to get the ball rolling I will be posting tomorrow probably. And that post will have everyone back at the meeting point and getting ready to go, if not actually starting on that journey. I wouldn't really call it a time jump. As its really just moving forward.

@Letter Bee that will also be in the post I put up tomorrow. :) thanks for reminding me on that one.

Ok, so as far as who is next to post,

Ionathan @Jon Y has an opportunity to respond to The Red, there still could be interaction there if you wanted.

There can be interaction with Regina and Siegfried, and Kayleth and Durin. Or any or all of them can wander into or find Zargon. @Dragoknighte @KazeXDZ @Belwicket @ArenaSnow

That is where we are. Once we're able to move forward, I'll post- it may be tomorrow, just a heads up.

@Letter Bee I like simple. And sometimes when your paintbrush dabbles in a little too much color, your picture can become a complicated mess. I'm not dismissing your idea. It very well could fit, and part of me just wants to say 'why the hell not'. You write well, you can very well pull it off. But you're treading a line.

I'll leave it up to you and @Lucius Cypher to discuss.

@KazeXDZ while other characters might not have directly interacted with siegfried, he still has a lot that he could react to. Isabeau did mention to him that he wasn't the only that had to deal with stuff. She blew up on Robert about how none of this should be about gold and glory, that there is a lot more at steak which she felt no one was taking seriously. Regina had mentioned something about sneaking past the dragon, no one's really gone in depth about how they plan to accomplish their task. Durin, Kayleth, and Regina are still where Siegfried is. He could spark a conversation with any one of them while he waits. There is so much he can do in your next post.

I agree with @Letter Bee and @The Fated Fallen, we'd be more than happy to help if we can. Even if it's just brainstorming ideas on what to post about.

Once @Jon Y makes a post, I will move forward with the plot. There is so much more that we have in mind for the story, I don't want to keep things here for much longer.
