Rumour Has It / Aeridin Priestess sighted
« on: May 06, 2019, 07:06:59 pm »
The small troublesome elf, dressed in yellow and white, fondly known by some as Elohanna Min A'Litae, has been sighted around Port Hempstead near the Angel's Guild and also near Mariner's Hold at the Silver Buckle Inn, Rumor has it that there is dust flying out of the Tower Academy and the Krandor Clinic at the Silver Buckle. Could the Rumors be true? Is she really back after being gone so long, and where could she have gone?

The Silver Buckle / The Daughter of Light emerges
« on: December 19, 2013, 05:12:22 pm »
Subtle changes around the Silver Buckle signal the return of the Daughter of Light. The smells of pies baking, of roasts cooking, shelves being restocking of shelves, and other signs of shopping. But she has truly yet to be to be seen by anyone, where is she?

Rumour Has It / Fire in Angel's shop (Port Hempstead fields)
« on: December 24, 2012, 12:08:00 pm »
For any who come by they will notice a large ruined burned up rug sitting outside the Angel's shop and when entering, notice scorch marks on the floor, and smell the scent in the air.

Elohanna seen around the store trying to clean up what she can, and waiting for any other Angel's to come by so they can speak with local contractors for repairs she can't complete.

Ask A Gamemaster / Elven Alphabet
« on: July 08, 2012, 09:15:16 pm »
I recently spoke with Milt about some development for Cord, regarding efforts to learn Elven, not the language, since she can speak it, but its written form, and if the letters would be the same form as the common letters just changed to match what they would be through the elven ear, or if there is a little bit of room to play with this aspect and create a unique form for the letters?


Thanks for any help in this regard, it may also give some of the other characters a direction to go in as well when they are being taught the language, and want to incorporate it into their cdt's.

Development Journals and Discussion / Striking a Cord
« on: June 16, 2012, 08:24:06 pm »
being made of additional resonant frequencies to the main note.

a feeling or emotion

A scream echoes through halls of the Leringard Arms, before Cord wakes up in a cold sweat, clutching at phantom wounds, and buries her head into her knees, as she tries her best to muffle her crying and hoping that no one has heard her.

She sings to chase away the shadows, keeping her voice low so she doesn't disturb others who may be trying to sleep, looking over at the still empty bed of a lady named Clover after her pounding heart settles back to a normal rhythmic thundering only heard in her ears.

She isn't at all sure the lady exists or more that she is a story Master Steel has told her so she only uses half the room, of course half is all she pays for in what rice she can find, and the milk she can coax out of almost dried up cows to provide cream for milk and butter to the inn. Still this side of the room is sort of hers and that provides some comfort.

She is trying her best to find her voice but just as things seem to be peaceful, the shadows chase away the light and remind her of her place and her voice grows quiet again. She hasn't even seen her Xeenite friend at the inn in a long while. She remembers though how he sang for her and that brings a measure of comfort to her and a gentle genuine smile touches her lips as she thinks of how they fell asleep talking for hours at the Silver Buckle.

He found pleasure in simple conversation, in the fact that she was comforted by his presence. He never pressured her into anything more like the others thought he may. Simple, truthful conversation they were both content with. He had become a prince in her mind. Sadly misunderstood by most, but she could open up to him about most things and he listened without judgment. Though when it came to that... she could not even tell him that.. How would he react? What would he begin to think? No she can't tell him yet about what happened. She can't even bring herself to admit it happened. Best to just ignore it and pretend it never happened.

Then there was her, dressed in red, hood drawn, and voice soft until raised at her, as they sat by the fire of the Storm Crest Crossroads, daring her to find herself, or fall back into the darkness again and slavery. How could she truly understand how Cord felt? Cord knows better than to trust the dark masters, they are cold and painful suffering, yet...No they are not to be trusted. If she lets her guard down for one moment, the mistress of death will find her...again.

Even since finding the light, they have drawn her back into the shadows again, threatening to take away the only thing that brings her any comfort. She has tried to avoid them, to find others in the light to be near, to make friends within and with the light again, and to stay out of the shadows as much as she can.

She has met friends, Leo, Robin, Jumbala and Leo was so kind to her, and in return she gave him all the apples she could to fill his belly. Then Robin asked her how she felt about him. She couldn't lie, not to Robin, she had been so kind. She did like Leo, but she wanted to just know them as friends. Something she had not dared to risk in a long time, you don't meet friends in the darkness, only pain, death and sorrow. That is all the darkness knows.  

Then there is Master Andrew offering to teach her how to play the smaller version of double harp. Teaching her how to pull the strings just so and how to end and begin, but their names don't quite make as much sense as their tones do to her ears. Diatonic and Chromatic? G's and C's, Sharp F's, A A Sharps, B's, C's, E's? To her they are all tones she knows by ear, she's never seen a scrap of music before much less how to read it or what the notes are by name, only that she can hear them inside, and listening to others sing, she can pick up the melodies and understand where her own chords would fit within their own.

Can't that be enough? But she is curious, drawn into the light more and more by the chance to learn, and then there is Miss Jilsephonie, allowing her a moment to make a fresh meal for her at her beautiful house, and offering to teach her how to read and write. She knows that learning will not be easy but she knows she can.

And then for that one brief moment in Center, she allowed herself to play a whimsical melody for a genuine audience! And they so enjoyed it that one, Mister Wolfshead even gifted her with a platinum harp, and then she knew she had to renew her studies to learn, so much to learn and yet she did not know where to begin, and as the tears fell from her cheeks, and her crying stopped, she found herself running her fingers from the lower strings of the harp across the top in a beautiful sound that startled her and brought her out of her thoughts, appraising the instrument, letting her fingers strum across the strings in memory of Andrew's first lesson.

Always her hand carved piccolo had been her voice, a plan piece of wood carved with her own hands, while staying as a guest at the Silver Buckle, but he convinced her to buy the most beautiful instrument she had ever seen. A simple elegant piccolo of reddish wood, smooth as glass, polished to such a shine it, so shiny, it was like looking into a crimson mirror. He said it was made by a bardess whose name is Layl, and she couldn't help but love it, but still she held to her own hand made piccolo, and kept the new piccolo and harp carefully and protectively tucked away afraid that they would be lost if the darkness found her again.

Her soft humming filled her room and comforted her, and then another thought struck her, a bard who couldn't sing simple beautiful music, to convey what his heart felt inside, a bard who she felt sorry for, even more than herself and she couldn't feel as bad for herself in that moment. She knew if it were her, she would be devastated not to be able to sing anything more than rage, to scare people, instead of providing them comfort within, though he still had his voice and could share stories, and his powerful voice had even scared her, after a few tries. .

It made her realize by listening to his story, how much she cherished what her mother had taught her, and even though her story was sad, she knew the kind of song she wished to convey with the gift she had been given, he had helped show her that, his name is Flynn introduced to her by the dark mistress cloaked in the colors of Ilsare..

Then there is Master Karn, He fell into the character so quickly and brought her and Master Aden into the rolls, so easily once they stood upon his hidden stage in Haven. He had his own stage meant for people to enjoy yet so far it sat collecting dust. Of all the lessons she had learned since being freed of the darkness creativity was meant to be shared, not hidden. Dreams were meant to be shared with friends, and those you love should want to know what wishes their beloved has. She couldn't believe the elf in green had not told his beloved, though he had not told Cord either, maybe he was afraid of telling her, maybe he feared she wasn't his true love. Whatever reason he would not share with her, he barely knew Cord.

Cord's travels, her freedom had taken her so many new places, meeting new faces, exciting and terrifying, dark and bright and it seemed as though her adventures to her had just barely begun.

Layonara Server / 05/30/2012 8:22a central - Spawns on Central
« on: May 30, 2012, 09:27:24 am »
I was just going through trying to collect a few things with Cord, around 6:46a my time I went through to collect some chestnuts, rye and salt, picked up a few ginseng as well and as of the time of this post almost 2 hours later 8:22a central, the cnr has not spawned back.

I spoke with the one other player on the server, Mix and he was not collecting anything in the area.

I encountered this problem with the Salt and Ginseng too, so either the cnr spawns in this area are bugged/broken or the server may possibly need a reset. Uncertain....

The Silver Buckle / Arrival of Lianna
« on: May 03, 2012, 09:10:23 am »
Slipping through the door behind a patron, Lianna flies into the inn, carrying a letter, addressed to Andrew, and once she has found him and the letter is delivered, she curls up in his pocket to rest.

Rumour Has It / Recent Patrol to the Kobold camps
« on: April 04, 2012, 08:05:17 am »
Lady Amireana, a knight of the All-Seeing is seen leaving the kobold camp with a very thoughtful expression on her face, graceful and determined in her steps as she makes her way towards Fort Vehl. Something seems to have happened during her patrol but what?...

//I don't know who the DM involved in this finding is, so if you can speak up that would be great.

Rumour Has It / Sightings of Elohanna
« on: March 20, 2012, 10:54:21 am »
Since her release there are whispered rumors that she has been seen various places, leaving a chest of food in Center, with a note on behalf of the Angel's that the food is free to those in need.

Some say she has been seen at the Angels shop in the fields, some around the Guild, and the Tower Academy and even some whispers she has been around the Silver Buckle, and most noteably that she has made a rather large purchase of food stuffs from the Saddlebag Pawnshop in Haven.


Some rumors are quietly whispered she has requested an audience with the Council of Port Hempstead as well.


What is she up to? Hasn't she stirred up enough trouble?

The Silver Buckle / Faceless (Breanna's CDQ)
« on: November 19, 2011, 11:19:26 pm »
//Please only those involved in the CDQ post here. Sorry Milty for it being so late!

As she sat outside the cave leading into the supposed hideout Jetta had shown them too she attempts to keep her disguise of Ebony Nevar, thinking about a way that they may be able to get past the Minotaurs without arising suspicion.

"I don't think an illusion would work but maybe we could disguise ourselves in order to get past them, it would take some careful preparation work, but I think it could be done." She offers looking around at Jetta, Andrew, and Daniel for their thoughts, knowing that she has already asked a lot of them and that now on top of owing them 15,000 true she also owes them her life.

General Discussion / 5.6 magnitude Earthquake hits Oklahoma!!!
« on: November 06, 2011, 06:48:20 am »
Right before heading to bed last night, the earth shook and the building rattled, and thus begins the recollections of my very first earthquake!! In the middle of our country, Tulsa Oklahoma, at 10.53p on November 5th, 2011.

And immediately I recalled the poem (erm)

Remember Remember the Fifth of November,
the Gunpowder Treason and Plot.
I see no reason why the gunpowder treason,
should ever be forgot.


Have you ever been in an earthquake! What thoughts went through your mind in that moment?

I headed for the doorway, worried about our daughter sound asleep, and wondered if it could get worse, and if we might have more aftershocks.

Rumour Has It / Captured outside of Fort Wayfare...
« on: July 11, 2011, 07:56:59 pm »
[SIZE=16]A heavy air hung over the city of Fort Wayfare, thick with grief felt for two guards whose lives were lost, the details vague, and rumors spreading rapidly of a figth that broke near the lake , Brelinite guards were seen moving thru the forest on a patrol . Even those partially present, are without many details of what actually took place save one who has yet to be seen entering the Fort itself.

Many hours later, a small figure dressed in blue, head hung obscuring her features, makes her way through the  slowly through the town to the guards station, never meeting anyone's eyes along the way.

Even when she knocks on the door, waiting patiently to be admitted, her features, are as hidden from view as they can be.

Development Journals and Discussion / Raelyn Blair
« on: June 24, 2011, 08:46:58 pm »
Greetings Raelyn Blair,


After reviewing your application, it's been decided that you show qualities that would be well suited for the Toran Leadership Program. This will hopefully be the first step on your path towards who you are meant to be.


Each of us come to Toran with a different background, and with different reasons for this decision. But ultimately, we have the same goal: we want to help to make the world a better place. It is our hope that we can help you achieve that goal.


In the past, there have been many different ways of training. Some have learned from their parents, others from mentors within the church, and some are called from what may seem the unlikeliest of places with nothing but a desire to do good.


In the next five years, we hope that we will all learn from each other, and that as a whole we will all find a strong foundation not only in Toran, but in each other.


You will need to arrive in Fort Llast by Sunra, Decilar 1, 1483 to report to the temple. There will be an acolyte or priest assigned to show you where you need to be.


We look forward to meeting you.




In Toran's Light,



*signed*


Daniella Stormhaven
Champion of Toran's Divine Will



*signed*


Lance Stargazer
Knight of Balance in Toran's Service


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


Raelyn read the letter over and over again before it finally sunk into her that she had been chosen, accepted into the Toran Leadership program, as she jumped down from the fence. At first when she received the letter she believed it would be a letter of rejection, but that had not been the case at all and so it took awhile to sink in as her lips could be seen reading the letter to any observer who would catch her sitting on the fence looking on with disbelief at first and and then a giddiness settled over her.

Finally as the reality hit her, she ran through the streets of Fort Llast searching for the one person she knew would be happiest for her and had always been behind her.


"Dad!!! Dad!!!" Her voice full of excitement as Raelyn ran through the streets trying to find him, and stopping suddenly as she caught him with his supervisor in a rather serious discussion. She backed away and waited until they were done still clutching in her hand the letter, signed by both Champion Stormhaven and Knight Stargazer. She had heard stories of them but to have a letter signed by both was special to her.

"What is it sweetheart?" Her fathers voice turned to her, and his supervisor ruffled her hair a bit giving her a wink, before he turned and walked off leaving her with her father.

"Dad it came! They said yes! I was accepted! I can go right? I won't be far away. The training will be here. I can still visit! Please say I can?" Her eyes shown with a happiness and excitement that was contagious and her father smiled at her proud. Though she could see the hint of sadness in his eyes as he would miss her, He could never say no to her and especially when he knew how much this meant to her. "Of course you can. Toran be praised! I know how much this means to you. Of course you can sweetheart."

Later that night after a celebratory dinner with her family, Raelyn had settled at the side of her bed, praying softly, thanking Toran for his guiding hands before she fell asleep with the letter tucked away beneath her pillow.

Ask A Gamemaster / Return of the Beast - Book Found
« on: June 14, 2011, 05:07:53 pm »
//There is book that has been found in game that mentions the Return of the Beast, that my character is interested in pursuing but I am unsure who the DM involved actually is. If there is anyone who can clarify, it would help me determine who I need to send my own actions too.


Thanks!
