Rumour Has It / Messages arrive...
« on: September 18, 2012, 05:24:27 pm »
... at locations where known adventurers and sell-swords can be found. It's said the messages are in leather cases, sealed in wax, and stamped with three S's. It's also noted that some of those that receive these messages make immediate plans to leave town, kingdom, and continent. A few of them also visit with the guarantor of their last will and testament before leaving town.

Just for Fun / Calling all graphic designers...
« on: August 23, 2012, 02:18:24 pm »
... I've been pondering over a design for the Triple S call-sign. Then I realized, "Hey! There are a lot more creative people in the community, so let's see what other people can come up with." I was thinking of a design with three letter S's, but I'm open to anything, really, if it looks cool, heh.



(For those of you that don't know anything about the Triple S, here are a few threads: http://forums.layonara.com/rumour-has/281819-word-trickles-out.html, http://forums.layonara.com/dragon-storm-campaign/281538-stalking-borders-kuhl.html, http://forums.layonara.com/dragon-storm-campaign/282762-triple-s-dragon-hunting-desert.html .... unfortunately, the original thread got eaten in a forum hiccup we had some time back. "Triple S" refers to "Steel's Suicide Squad".)

Rumour Has It / Off the northwest coast of Dregar...
« on: May 29, 2012, 04:50:55 pm »
... a few dozen stranded sailors and passengers were hauled out of the sea, each claiming that their ship caught fire mid-voyage between Hurm and North Point. The story goes that the whole ship went up in a blazing inferno, the passengers and crew diving overboard, only to turn and see the inferno take the shape of a massive dragon before the whole ship went down in a steamy haze of white smoke. Those who rescued the stranded lot discredited the tale, attributing it to delirium from hunger or shock, but some wonder how so many 'delirious' people came up with the exact same tale.

The Dragon Storm Campaign / Seen around Belinara...
« on: May 24, 2012, 01:02:30 pm »
After the retreat of the Cult's troops back in Kuhl, Steel practically disappeared from Belinara. Lately, however, he has been spotted more and more often around the Hilm Protectorate and Nesar. His return to Belinara coincides with further unrest within Hilm. They say that blood follows the demon of Leringard, but very few have actually seen the masked devil draw his sword- at least, few that are still living.

One way or the other, he's returned to Belinara for a reason...

We wanted to start it, oh, a month earlier, but alas, vacations and work and that thing called life has somewhat slowed us down. But never fear! The series is on the calendar now! The show starts February 14th, though we'll be dropping some lines in the rumor thread before that to get the juices flowing.

Questions? Comments? Feel free to drop some here. We'll also be starting a long running series forum a little closer to the actual start of it all. In the meantime, I've got a bit more paperwork to do....

Rumour Has It / From the Taur'en Hills...
« on: November 03, 2011, 12:48:43 pm »
... news of the latest and boldest move by the kingdom of Sagewald to force Taur'en to relinquish its hold on parts of the mineral-rich Hills circulates among the port cities and the royal courts of other Alindoran Kingdoms. A large Sagewald army set up camp half a day's ride north of Fort Angle, well inside Taur'en territory, as if daring the Taur'en military and the commanders of Fort Angle to attack.

Messenger birds went tearing off toward Castle Bydell, and within a day troops were marching from Bydell toward Fort Angle and a small cabal of Taur'en wizards teleported directly to the Fort. The Fort commanders prepared for an attack, but none came. After a few days, the Taur'en commanders sent a messenger to the Sagewald camp carrying a letter explaining that the army was on Taur'en soil and must return to Sagewald immediately. The messenger returned to Fort Angle, strapped to his horse and missing his head, the letter stuffed where his head should have been. Angered, the Fort commanders decided to wait until the reinforcements from Bydell to arrive, then to attack the sitting Sagewald army from two sides and send it packing back across the border. In the meantime, the Sagewald troops remained camped at the position to the north, harassing anyone that moved too close to their camp. This all occurred over the course of several weeks, from the time the Sagewald army was discovered to the time the Bydell reinforcement troops arrived and the Taur'en army was assembled outside the Fort.

The day before Taur'en planned to attack the Sagewald intruders, a scout arrived from the southeast of the Fort. The scout was injured and visibly exhausted, a mercenary unknown to those parts. The scout warned of a Sagewald force on horseback that had hidden itself in the hills and forests to the southeast. Realizing that was Sagewald's plan all along, to lure the bulk of the Taur'en forces out of the Fort into an engagement with the northern camp while the cavalry to the southeast swooped in to either flank the Taur'en forces or assault the thinly-manned fort, the Fort Angle commanders ordered half the assembled troops to turn and engage the smaller cavalry force to the southeast, while moving the rest of the troops and supplies back inside the Fort.

The larger Taur'en force easily routed the hidden cavalry unit without much of a fight. The Sagewald cavalry had apparently begun cutting down trees, leaving the early makings of siege weaponry and hook-ladders strewn about the forest floor when they scattered in retreat.

A few days later, the Sagewald camp north of the Fort packed up and made its way back toward the Sagewald-Taur'en border. The precarious stalemate between the two kingdoms continues.

Trade and Market Hall / A Special Two-Item Auction
« on: July 25, 2011, 03:41:55 pm »
[SIZE=24]Steel sets out a marble podium, complete with a glass bubble-lid. On the podium he lays a round pillow, and on the pillow he lays two rings, each sparkling, each wreaking of magic. Both rings are clearly of rare craftsmanship, exquisite to behold, golden-banded and set with gems. The first is set with an emerald, square and thick. The second is set with a small red stone, and etched with runes.[/SIZE][/FONT]

"I've owned both these items for decades, and personally used the magic within to great effect in numerous adventures across the continents. The emerald ring I found in the Thunder Peaks, and I have a feeling it is of old dwarvish or elven make. The rune-covered ring is definitely of old dwarvish make, though it was discovered in the Deep. I'd like to open the bidding for each of these items at seventy-five (75) thousand True. Do I have any takers?"

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Item #1: An Exceptional Ring of Bull's Strength III, enchanted with an Acid II resistance; +3 strength, Cast Bull's Strength (3rd level) 3x/day, 10/- vs. Acid.

Item #2: A Dwarvish Ring of Resilience; +2 constitution, +2 dexterity, +2 vs. death, +2 vs poison.
