Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Pylia didn’t say much at first, just walking and chopping through the brush, but the more she listened soon she just laughed. “Ha ha ha, what?! A democratic system organized into three separate branches of power? Surely you must have come from a fantasy world where authority isn’t consolidated under a single power!” Soon they stopped by a river, where Pylia splashed some water to clean her feet and other parts still dirty from soot. She also grabbed a few bits of algae and other small plants on the riverbed.

“In any case, that doesn’t sound familiar to me at all. Closest place I can think that matches that description is the Republic of Doris, and that’s on the other side of the world. And something tells me you’re not even...” She seemed hesitant to speak before she took out her blade and cleaned it in the river. She looked into its reflection with a moment of contemplation. “Not from my world. But... Anyways, let’s continue on. Night has fallen and evil will be out. I hope you know how to fight.”

“Huh?” Pylia gave you a disbelieving look as she cleared her way to a somewhat open path, at least void of tall brush. “You have to be really lost if you don’t know that much.” She seemed dismissive at first, but Pylia took a moment to think of something before moving forward some more. ”We’re in the Grandal, lead by Duke Erod Blackbane. As for continent I suppose were at the southern side of Cormac, ruled by King Andrews Wyrmslayer, and the year is 7512 if you’re going to ask that too.”

None of these names would be familiar to you. They sounded like the sort of names you’d get from a typical fantasy, especially since the only time you hear people called dukes and Kong’s would be either in historical context or just ceremonial. Even Cormac isn’t anything that rings a bell for you geographically. “Just where did you come from? Did you lose your memories or something?”

Looks legit, as for CS I usually use Mythweavers or a specific gdoc, whichever works best with you.

Your character will also start at level 3, your items will be what you get from class and background, plus 150 gp.

Not bad. I can definitely work with this. As for stats, you can choose either a 30 point buy with a buy up to 16, or rolling stats. 4d6 six times and dropping the lowest die, and if you’re total amount is less than 70 I’ll allow you to reroll your set. Naturally you can only choose one or the other.

“Only if you can walk and talk. We’ve got a long road ahead of us.” Pylia starts walking eastward, at least assuming that the sun sets to the east in this world. Aside from the clearing where her house once stood, there was no literal roads or paths for the two women to walk. They’d have to lush their way through brambles and bushes, which Pylia’s long knife was useful for clearing

“Suppose one thing you should know is that whatever happens, I don’t plan on staying in Cassari. I don’t know where you come from that magic is new to you, but there are... People in that town that don’t like me. That’s not to say everyone in Cassari is bad but, well, I don’t have the patience to deal with fools everyday.”

It’ll take place in a world I stole called Keratia, typical fantasy setting through currently they’re on the way to industrialization, so there will be an advent in technology in certain areas. Still a good place for your usual sword and sorcery type place with the occasional sighting of complex magic constructs and peasants armed with explosives sticks.

Pylia cocked an eyebrow at you as she briefly stopped before going inside. “New York? Is that some recent settlement? I haven’t noticed any settlers moving through here.” She went inside, and soon there was the sound of crashing and axe-against-wood. A few minutes later and Pylia came out again, this time wearing some sort of leather armor, a long knife on her hip, and a shield strapped to her arm. She walked towards you with a curious look on her face.

“You... No, nevermind. I guess if you aren’t a settler, you’re lost. And since my home just got burnt down I need to head back to Cassari and figure out where to go next. But damn those skeletons, it’ll take us at least three hours to get to the village and it’ll be night by then... And no doubt more skeletons will rise during that time. So why don’t you come with me to the village? Safety in numbers.”

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Pylia wrung the wetness out of her clothes as she smirked at you. “From that look on your face I’m guessing that’s the first time you’ve seen magic. Hope you’re not the type who start throwing around mean words like ‘witchcraft’ and ‘heathen’ around, or else we’re going to have some problems.” Sighing Pylia picked up her axe and carefully walked towards the charred remains of her home. “Though from the sounds of it you have your fair share of problems already. Where did you come from stranger? Only village nearby is Cassari and you don’t look native. Far from it.”

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Thanks to your help you and the mystery woman managed to stop the blaze from spreading any further. Though both of you are dirty with soot and ash you’re unharmed, but now you can really feel that blazing inferno. That’s when the woman tossed her axe aside and crossed her hands in front of herself. A small pendant around her necklace glowed faintly as she spoke a strange incantation.

{Creation Water Rain!}

From the woman’s hands must seemed to shoot out, forming a localized cloud over the burning home. Almost immediately after the cloud began to rain, causing more smoke to billow from the house but after a few seconds, the rain puts out the fire. The woman drops to her knee with gritted teeth. “Bah... Can’t believe I wasted my first spell doing that...” Standing up the woman turned to you, allowing her rain to waste off some soot. “Thanks for the help stranger, though I didn’t expect to see anyone out here in the sticks. I’m Pylia. Who are you?”

Well, ideally you’d know how to play DnD 5e or Pathfinder, especially in a pbp context. I don’t mind tutoring you if you’re new but the more you know the more stuff we can do. I’d also recommends having a lvl 1 character prepared, and possibly back up characters. Unlike your typical 1x1 we will be incorporating dice to determine how things work out, meaning that there’s a possibility that you could die of luck isnt on your side.

Plot and such are tailored to each player or character otherwise, so what you’ll be doing depends on who you bring.
