General Discussion / Happy -belated- Birthday, Filatus.
« on: August 21, 2008, 10:47:29 am »
It dawned on me today, that there is a Leo in our midst that I don't recall seeing a birthday thread for.  I was out of town on the 16th, but, better late than never? So..

[SIZE=13](belated) [/SIZE][SIZE=24]Birthday, Filatus![/SIZE].[/INDENT]


Been through 'a lot' in the last couple years, Thijs, so I couldn't let this slip by totally unannounced ;).   I'm sorry I missed it, but I hope your day was special.

General Discussion / Sitting out for a while.
« on: July 08, 2008, 08:34:46 am »
Hello All,

I will keep this as short and sweet as possible since I probably shouldn't be typing in the first place

I did something to my wrist, and I wasn't sure how serious it was at first, but it has been persisting for a month now, and, typing/playing sure doesn't help it any. I have a Dr. appointment this weekend and will find out more.

I have a feeling it will likely be the "well, stop doing whatever it is your doing!" and this is part of that. I''m stepping away from running quests and playing probably until August. Maybe longer.

I sincerely apologize to those of you who were looking forward to the quest tonight, since we have to cancel it entirely.  Also for the player with the CDQ in question, I'll be contacting you directly to see how you want to handle this. But, all in all, I'm realizing that I need to stop pushing this injury by thinking that I'll just finish "this one more important thing"  because the things that are important never seem to end and I can't keep putting my health in jeopardy.

Best,

Lala/Ananke

Layonara Server / Second Chance, Tuesday!
« on: July 03, 2008, 09:10:13 am »
Perhaps you remember seeing this Quest announcement.  But maybe you had some trouble getting a group together? or just don't know enough PC's yet? Well, good news! You don't have to have a group this time!

Next Tuesday, July 8th, Pyro and I are going to run the Gauntlet with whichever PC's sign/show up.

The limit will still be 6, so, if more show up we will give precedence to those who r.s.v.p. and then the dice will decide who gets to go.

Come prepared to run the Gauntlet, come see what its all about!

Trade and Market Hall / A project in Leringard.
« on: June 17, 2008, 10:34:30 pm »
*Several signs are posted in crafting and market halls throughout various towns in Mistone and those within reach of Leringard by boat.*

Rumour Has It / The Information Market
« on: June 12, 2008, 07:52:38 am »
*Quiet chatter in taverns and Inn's in Vehl, Port Hempstead, and Fort Wayfare whisper of a colorful halfling peddling a story on relics and some sort of challenge. The price for the bulk of this tale has seemed to rise over the course of the month, thusly most common folk know little more than that.*

Layonara Server / The Gauntlet: Quest Announcement
« on: June 11, 2008, 10:37:30 pm »
[INDENT]The Gauntlet - Quest Announcement.

Esteemed archaeologist and retired adventurer, Terrance Copper The Third, has spent most of his lifetime in and out of dungeons collecting artifacts of obscure, powerful, and rare nature for dealers, collectors, and artifact connoisseurs worldwide. But now days he is a "retired" adventurer who is purported to have felt the icy grasp of the soul mother one to many times. Meanwhile, something he has sought for years, the pinnacle of his career, and his magnum opus of finds is finally within his reach.... but simply out of grasp without aid.

His search goes out for adventures across the land. He solicits an agile, strong, and intelligent group who is willing and able to seek this item for him.

But.. there is a catch. Rather than risk the chance of a lifetime on any such group Terrance and his wife Jonina Copper have devised a trial to test the hopeful adventurers, since only the best of the best will do.


[SIZE=18]WELCOME TO THE GAUNTLET[/SIZE]


This timed quest pits individual teams of 6 (PC levels 4-17) against the clock, and consequently against one another. The winning team (The one who completes the trial with the best time) unanimously earns Terrance and Jonina's respect and The Contract to help him in completing his life's work. The Contract will be a summer quest series run by the two of us in the winning team's time zone. The Gauntlet is currently scheduled for five time slots*, spanning [strike]four[/strike] three different time zones between June 24th and July 8th as marked on the calendar by .  The time slots will be first come first serve (and yes, there is one for the Aussies!) and can be reserved by the team captain by PM-ing the two of us your 6 team member’s names. All sessions will be run on QUEST server unless otherwise noted.

So now for a few rules and helpful hints:

1. PC must be between levels 4-17** at the start of the quest.
2. There must be 6 PC’s in your party.
3. Your party is on a timer at the moment they start into the Gauntlet.  We will pause this for a short 10 minute AFK at an appropriate time if requested by your party.
4. Resting: Resting is not restricted*** but must be done, as a group, and it will cost you.  Each time your PC’s  “rest” it is considered a full nights rest and will add 1 RL hour to the clock (unless otherwise noted).
5. Skill checks should be put to silent (/o C toggle check_silent) at the start of the quest..
6. Emoting precisely what your PC is doing will get you furthest.  If you merely emote that your PC “Looks around the room.” We get to decide what they are looking at.
7. Think outside the box.  NWN has limitations that the mind does not. Don’t be afraid to get creative. If you have a question about the appropriateness of something, ask.
8. Please, do not spam the dm channel with skill rolls.  Most of the time if you do something that merits a roll, we will request it.  In some cases we may just take a peek at your character sheet and make the roll ourself.
9. Each player  can only have one character participate.  Nobody will be allowed to have one character on one team, and a different character on another.
10.  Keep it IC.  It is to your benefit as a player not to tell others who have yet to be tested what is on the test. (If we find out about you doing this OOC your team will be disqualified and the series is subject to being canceled). With that said however, If your PC does figure out through IC means the members of another team, feel free to mess with their heads, if your character would do so that is..
11. Your actions have consequences.
12. Finally, this is meant to be challenging, exciting, and above all.. fun.  

Interested parties please keep an eye out for in character posts, rumors,  and opportunities to roleplay into the quest, as well as more helpful hints.

GOOD LUCK!

[SIZE=10]The fine print:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10]

* If the five time slots fill up we will try adding another at one of the same times listed.  Please show some initiative ~ and let us know if you have a group and still need a spot.

**We realize that in an improtu intro to the quest some parties were mis-informed that the level limit would be under 20.  After careful consideration we feel that this is a better balanced challenge for players below 17 and above 4.  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and hope that those who this may affect have characters that will fit the level requirement as they are now.

***Resting still must be done in an RP appropriate place.  5 feet away from angry frost giants.. not a good idea.[/SIZE][/INDENT]




-----------

EDIT 6/15/08:  Due to certain circumstances and our summer/work schedules we had to remove the Sunday GMT time slot from the quest line up.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT 6/17/08
:  Forgot to mention that the quests will be on quest server.

EDIT 6/18/07
: Updated the fine print.

[SIZE=16] On a quiet night in Leringard an Autumn’s harvest rain drums quietly on the cobbled walkways. The air takes on an earthy smell as the rain stirs across the ground and washes through the streets.  At the end of the block the candlelight glows warmly from the Leringard Arms Inn and Tavern windows... The door a bit ajar allows the soft lilting notes of a lonely violin to filter through the evening’s humid air.

Long fluid notes deliver a bittersweet melody; they call into the night like a beautiful siren who might lure her sailors away from their heading.

The gentle rhythm speaks of devotion and the minor tonality of a longing that both starves and feeds some souls.  

As you enter the Inn door the air grows silent around you, in the center of the room stands a red headed minstrel, her fingertips hovering above the strings of the violin.  Her breath quivers slightly as she exhales then inhales and continues to play.

This time the valleys of quiet in the song are matched by a growing sound, a crescendo with depth and vitality. She plays as if the music disembodies her; she plays with passion as if the small wooden instrument were her lover. She plays.

... and when the song is finished.. her emerald eyes look up to you...

Leringard Arms Inn and Tavern / Whispers
« on: April 01, 2008, 09:53:07 am »
*A few ladies gossip at the bar one cool December morning.*

"I heard it from Toby who heard it from Lily, who said that Kali was telling Hardragh about an event not to be missed!"

"Oh, you and that Toby Jenkins he'd tell you anything.  "

"But, I did hear it from the dock shop keeper who thought he heard a priestess asking Kali about the color of her dress.. after hearing it on good authority that Hardragh and Kali were seen in Hempstead all dressed up...


"You don't say..."

Leringard Arms Inn and Tavern / A new era in Leringard
« on: April 01, 2008, 08:45:35 am »
*Kali humming lightly as she pulls the book from the drawer, smiles warmly to Lily as she makes a few quick notes in the ledger.  They chat quietly about matters of the Inn and matters of life.. With Lily questioning some of the recent changes.*

"Consider it a fresh start."
*Kali chimes,  before she giggles watching a charming half elven boy about the age of nine duck behind Lily's skirt as the pitter patter of a dog's feet run after him.*

*She gives him the looks a mother might before smiling as she slides the ledger across the table to Lily.* "It's in Lances capable hands now, I've some important things to attend to.."

*At that she grins in a playful manner, whistling to the dog... as the dark haired boy with emerald eyes comes following after too.*

"The start of a new era Lily."
 *She giggles and winks, heading outside to play.*

Dear tenants and friends of the Leringard Arms Inn & Tavern,

It saddens me greatly to have to inform you that in two weeks time we will again need to change the locks to the door of the Leringard Arms. As the proprietor of this establishment your safety and the security of your possessions are of the utmost concern to me, as such, I feel obliged to tell you of what pushed this decision to change the locks.

This change is do entirely to the utterly selfish and unjustifiable actions of one
Jaelle Thornwood.
[/B]
Some time back one of our keys fell into the possession of one, Jaelle Thornwood. In an extreme misjudgment, management overlooked this for a brief time while she was staying with a well respected tenant who shall remain unnamed.  At the time when the tenant left our establishment, Jaelle was also asked to return her unlawfully obtained key.  After three attempts to recover the key on our own,  our establishment then filed a report and worked with Rofirein officials to try to recover it.

To date the Rofirein officials have failed in their attempts to recover the key.

It is impossible to tell where the key is now or whose hands it may fall into, and as such, for our safety and yours the locks needed to be changed.

Thank you for your continued understanding and patience on this matter.

Regretfully,

Management
[/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE=13]//ooc: Just to note this was a IC dispute entirely and the key was removed at player request by a GM.  But, it is a good time to change the locks anyway. ;)[/SIZE]

Leringard Arms Inn and Tavern / Rent Foregiveness
« on: March 17, 2008, 08:16:40 am »
*Posted in and around the Leringard Arms Inn & Tavern*

[SIZE=16]Dear tenants of the Leringard Arms Inn,

Due to many factors, some of which will be announced soon, the Leringard Arms is happy to forgive any rent owed to date for those with expired leases.  According to the ledger this includes occupants of rooms 102, 103, 104, 112, and 201.

The ledger will be updated, and the locks will be changed in two months time. (//2 weeks) For those who would like to continue to rent from the Inn it is asked that at least 4 months rent be paid in advance at that time (//1 RL month). Exceptions can be made on a case by case basis.

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience of needing to change the keys, and hope that you will take the forgiveness of missing rent as our gift to you, and a small token of our apology on the matter.  If you have any questions or concerns, please, feel free to contact me.

Best regards,

Kali [/SIZE]
