Important Layonara Announcements / EXCITING COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT
« on: March 07, 2024, 02:20:04 pm »
1) Until further notice, exotic/restricted species/subspecies are open to submit new characters, with one exception...
2) Half races will no longer be approved (this does not apply to the one submission still in progress) due to the minimum age they would be at point of submission. This includes half orcs, half elves, and half giants.
3) The max number of characters per player has been increased to 10.

If you've had an idea for a new character, now's a good time to give it a go! Remember that some species/subspecies require a bit more backstory than your average, say, human fighter.

Trade and Market Hall / Seeking a rare weapon
« on: June 23, 2021, 11:19:49 am »
I am looking for an enchanted mace of rare make most often referred to as a "Lichbane." I am willing pay a very generous sum to one who is willing to part with such a find.

Roleplaying / Corso Escapes!
« on: March 29, 2021, 12:12:06 pm »
After more than a year of raiding the roads and coasts of the Liwich, Boyer, and Sedera Kingdoms, the brigand known as Corso met his demise at the hands of a motley and determined crew of bounty hunters in the employ of the Liwich Kingdom. Death wasn't enough to end him, however, if the stories are to be believed. The bounty hunters claim that Corso is stonebound, and he subsequently has escaped prison for the time being.

Liwich and Boyer authorities further claim to have confirmed the bounty hunters' story after examining Corso's former hideout. And despite Corso's escape, his small army of pirates, thieves, and mercenaries has been disbanded or slain, and his ships and supplies confiscated. Angela Liwich considers this a win, though she is purportedly still in the market for skilled trackers to find and capture Corso.

//// A little late in posting this, but my last week suddenly got whacky busy and I'm just now catching my breath. Feel free to RP in this thread, and yes, eventually there will be further quests involving the attempt to capture the stonebound criminal Corso. Thank you to everyone that attended, and I apologize for the sudden disappearance right at the end, and for all the various hiccups along the way. It was my first NWN quest to run in a rather long time, and I had to relearn some things along the way, heh. //////

Level Requirements: All Levels
The quest starts at the camp in the Thunder Peaks.

Premise: This is a continuation of the prior quest, "The Hunt Begins." That said, if you weren't on the first/second part and want to join the third, you are welcome to do so. Simply assume your character is traveling in the area when he/she runs into the hunting party. Those that attended the first installment can fill you in on what's going on.

Roleplaying / ATTENTION: Cherry Lake the Bounty Commissioner is in Center
« on: February 27, 2021, 01:55:59 pm »
"Do you think you are an experienced adventurer? Do you have what it takes to handle the baddest of the bad? Help bring escaped murderers and thieves to justice and make some good coin on the side. See Cherry Lake to pick up the latest bounty. Good luck!"

//// I'll be doing more of these in the future, but note they do not persist past server reset, and once completed, they do not reset. Watch IG or here or Discord to note when a new bounty is available. Also, you'll want to 'examine' the NPC Cherry Lake for more details. ////

Roleplaying / Rebuilding the village of Vale
« on: February 19, 2021, 02:28:46 pm »
After years of research and acquiring support, those wishing to rebuild the village of Vale assemble a list of the material and labor requirements. Though the patrons don't know who would choose to relocate to the newly rebuilt village, especially since most of the original inhabitants were murdered, that is a problem for after there are buildings to which to relocate.

- 1000 oak planks [175/1000]
- 500 mahogany planks [11/500]
- 5000 iron ingots (iron spikes count as two ingots) [1591/5000]
- 1000 lumps of coal [1244/1000]
- 1000 bits of clay [1042/1000]
- 500 gum arabic [500/500]
- 500 ingots of glass [506/500]
- 1000 mixed ore (representing stone; can be any raw ore: copper, iron, platinum, etc.) [1001/1000]
- 100 Fortune (can be provided by multiple characters) [34/100]
- 500,000 True (to pay for workers, transport of goods, and other associated building costs) [528488/500000]

Misc. Donations: 199 Iron Spike molds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OOC stuff:
1. I'll update this post with a running tally of acquired goods.
2. Those wishing to collect for this effort need to place a chest (or ten) to hold items for collection AND post in this thread where the chest is placed. I'll hop in as a GM regularly and pick up the items to add to the tally. I can pick up directly from PCs (and will have to for the Fortune required), but the chests allow us to not have to coordinate being on at the same time.
3. Once everything is acquired, the Team will give the go ahead for a new area to be placed IG.
4. If you have questions, ask. Also, note that this is an RP thread, so make your posts generally IC, and denote OOC stuff in a manner where we can easily tell the difference.
5. Have fun!

Rumour Has It / Word arrives from Arnax....
« on: March 25, 2017, 09:17:53 pm »
.... her majesty the Queen Louise Maillard has placed new bounties on a bounty board just inside the Arnax city walls. Rumor has it that these bounties are those that have eluded or destroyed the queen's attempts to capture them with the military, and are thus very dangerous.

///// This lasts until reset/all the bounties are collected! ////

General Discussion / The Troll King Presents: Layo Dayz
« on: January 31, 2017, 03:48:14 pm »
So, I keep trying to squeeze in time here and there to run a quest, or even just play, and guess what? Something always bloody gets in the way, not to mention, a few hours just aren't enough.Thus, I did what any reasonable person would do. I reorganized my entire schedule to be able to devote an ENTIRE DAY each month for Layo activites. This includes general quests, impromptus, CDQs, and actual playtime for my characters.The first two days are on the Calendar (February 18th and March 11th). I'll be around IG starting as early as 11am CST/CDT, but more often starting around 2pm CST/CDT (I like to sleep in.), and going until I pass out, which is likely to be around 1am CST/CDT.I'll also list other events on the calendar that I'm running that day, if they are specific enough to have their own slot.

If you have ideas for events, list them here! Or point me to the threads where they are already being discussed.

Rumour Has It / Meanwhile, over in Taur'en...
« on: November 03, 2016, 10:33:13 pm »
"I'm putting you in charge of this, Captain Felmin. Here is the report from our advance scout." Commander Moreau hands the captain a thick roll of parchments. "Take two hundred men and secure the first three levels of the mine. Take the engineering team and cave in everything below that point. Once secured, send word, and then we'll send the necessary supplies to start turning the place into a usable fortified structure."
 
"Yes, sir."
 
"Read the report carefully, Felmin. Everything from deadly oozes to disgruntled beholders were found down there. If you want your men to leave, you best have plans to deal with everything mentioned in that report. Warrant Officer Dragonheart should meet you on location with any updated news."
 
"Anything else, sir?"
 
"Yes. About Dragonheart. She is skilled and loyal, but unpredictable. Be aware that if you give her an order, she may not go about fulfilling the order in the manner you desire. So be as explicit as possible."
 
"I'm sure I can handle the warrant officer, sir."
 
"Good luck with that. Dismissed."
 
The captain collects the two regiments, and sets out for the abandoned mine. 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
"He's gone."
 
"That's good news. Looks like he decided it wasn't worth the trouble."
 
"No, you don't understand. He was really unwilling to give up his home there."
 
"Apparently not as unwilling as you thought."
 
Tyrra squints both eyes. "Captain, I don't like it. Something isn't right, and there's a barrier down below which wasn't there before."
 
"We're caving it in anyway, Dragonheart, so that barrier means nothing to me."
 
"While we secure the place, I need you to take this message back to Fort Angle. For the commanders eyes only."
 
"But I can help wi-"
 
"You have your orders."
 
Sucking in a breath, "Yes, sir."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
"It's been three weeks and we've heard nothing back from Captain Felmin. Take a horse and find out what's taking so long."
 
"Yes, sir." Tyrra turns to leave.
 
"Oh, and Dragonheart?"
 
She pauses, but does not turn.
 
"If something's gone wrong. Don't go digging around. Get your butt back here and let me know. Got it?"
 
"Got it."
 
"Excuse me?"
 
".... yes, Commander, sir."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
"By the gods..... They're..... gone.... they're all gone...."

OOC: Be on the lookout for a quest on the calendar for this. I'm still sorting out some times, but it's happening this month!

I'm afraid due to unforseen circumstances, I have to move the quest from this afternoon to this evening- please check the calendar to verify the time (which should be 7pm EST/EDT). That's the bad news, and I'm terribly sorry if that messes up someone's plans to attend.The good news is that I have a very specific direction and story now, and have updated the calendar to reflect that. Something has awoken in the Ire.

Interesting little article, and an even more interesting study: http://geekandsundry.com/role-playing-gamers-have-more-empathy-than-non-gamers/I know PnP gaming seriously aided my social development for the better. What has been your experience?

General Discussion / A quick community update from Milty
« on: August 10, 2015, 08:00:31 pm »
So, I've been a little scarce lately. Aside from work picking up some, I also travelled some 12000 miles in July, all by car, so I was simply out of pocket. After returning, I've had to play catch-up, which I'm still doing. All that to say I'm still alive and kicking, and I've got some stuff planned, from CDQs (you know who you are), to quest series, to finishing up Steel's exploration of the Deep. So be on the lookout for stuff from me in the very near future. =)

« on: May 28, 2015, 10:14:30 pm »
Making this so I can post when I'll be in and when I won't, since I put it to be happening every Thursday on the Calendar. I won't be IG tonight, but plan on checking here to see every Thursday to explore and map the Deep.
