@Crazytazer go ahead and move your character on over :)

@Eisenhorn so this is something I've been meaning to talk about for awhile now, but I guess I just never actually got around to saying it. So your character, skills, equipment, spells, all of it never "level up". Any physical objects like armor and weapons can be upgraded for gold. Every class has the affinity to learn and use spells, but only the spell focused classes like mage and priest actually start with any. Once you rebuild a certain building, you'll be able to learn new spells according to how far you are in the game, and "train" existing spells to increase there abilities. Since you're the only priest, then yes of course please make a basic list of spells for yourself starting out, and when it gets to mid and late in the RP I'll handle the progression and new spells. Also there isnt "mana" just be mature about not spam casting and yes, the more your character casts spells the more exhausted and drained they will get. Don't be afraid to let your spells have a dark influence from Shee'l Tor ;)

@Crazytazer I'm not sure about the man servant, I just don't feel like it would fit the world very well and he would probably be killed off quite quickly anyways... other than that it seems good.

On a side note, I was wanting to ask you guys opinion on a Miracle system I've been thinking about adding to the RP. Basically how it works is the more you pray to a specific god, the more likely that specific god will be to help you in your times of greatest need. You can only get the god specific buffs if your allegiance is sworn to that god, but you can pray to any of them to increase their chance in helping you. It won't be a big chance, probably only going up to a 25% probability that a miracle would happen at the maximum, but I feel like it would add an extra bit of hope and suspense. Every god has a different scenario where they can save you from. Ragnarok for instance, might shield you from a killing blow, borealis infusing your weapon with holy power to fell a boss, or Shee'l Tor manifesting nightmarish creatures to aid you in battle. Let me know what you guys think!

@The Fated Fallen any ETA on your post?

@Eisenhorn I can tone it down if you want, I just thought that a town who gets consistently plagued by the manifestations of the God of shadows and evil wouldn't take too kindly to a priest who worships him. :)

This roleplay has officially started! Please take into note that Arthur is a tutorial character, so feel free to ask him any lore questions or questions about the town. In regards to the posting system, I would like for everyone to post at least 2-3 paragraphs each per post, and then once everyone has posted I will post my response, reaction or just simply move the plot along. I feel that this gives everyone a chance to have their say in the story, without placing too great stress on a singular person. Have fun everyone!

Back in his prime, sir Arthur Chastibul would have expected to see gleaming knights riding in on horseback, eager and determined to slay Asaroth and gain favor with the King. They would pull out their enchanted, golden swords and return the land of Olde back to the way it used to be. The rivers would flow fresh clear water again and the mines would be cleared of the monsters that dwelled within. Ash would've became a great city, with Arthur at the helm as mayor. Instead however, he peered at the motley crew from a shattered window, before cautiously taking a step into the deserted street. The only sounds to be heard were his steel tipped boots clacking on the cracked cobblestones and the old cart, creaking silently behind the group.

Quietly he looked over the crew, distaste evident in his tired eyes. He was mildly surprised to find a Templar in the lot of them, wondering just how much misfortune it took to force such a noble to these forsaken lands. "Dirty half breed." Arthur muttered under his breath, eyeing the half vampire like a pawn broker would eye an ugly doll. Finally he glanced over at the priest, quickly taking a step back and tightening his grip on the hilt of his sword. The seal of Shee'l Tor swinging from a chain around his neck. "What's a fucking necromancer doing on a quest to slay a demon. " he said, hatred almost billowing out from him.

Arthur spat a brown glob of something onto the cobblestone before addressing the group. "Right then, so I'm guessing there's no gold plated knight in that cart behind you?" His vain hopes were quickly dashed as with a squeal of protest, the cart turned around and began trundling its way back from whence it came. "Guess not" he muttered quietly before continuing. " c'mon then, let's head to my office. It'll be safer in there. " he gestured toward the slowly setting sun "when the light dies, so does anyone caught outside. " . Quickly Arthur turned on his heel and shouted to the town guard, which as of now only consisted of 2 burly men, one armed with a pitchfork and the other with a farming scythe "keep an eye on that necromancer there! Run him through if he tries anything! " One of the men, whose wife had been eaten in the last zombie attack, aimed a deathly grin at the dark robed figure before nodding silently. The other man, superstitious of all gods but his own, took one look at the grim faced figure and immediately took a couple of steps back.

On another note, I'm planning on starting the IC tomorrow, where I shall take upon the mantel of sir Arthur Chastibul, once great squire to the king and now the mayor of Ash. He will take you on your first dungeon raid, but afterwards the hand holding stops. Good luck to you all!

@Eisenhorn this is shaping up to be a great group! Your character is most definitely accepted.
