//Continued from “The Assault” This will be the last installment of this plotline. For those players already involved, or those wanting to become involved, please begin posting here in this thread. At this point it is unknown whether this will be RP heavy like the first installment “Reward” (Click Here) or Action as in “The Assault” (Click Here) when it goes to an in-game session. Player forum involvement will dictate this over the next few weeks. If you are new, please read through the threads for the previous two installments to get up to speed and figure out a RP way of inserting your character...//-----IGA bird circles slowly in the air around the two captured rune stones, the consciousness inside its avian form carefully considering both actions and impacts on The Balance.The Rofirein knights seem very grateful for both the assistance of the adventurers and their sacrifices in the assault itself. Deverain is seen among them, working himself to the point of exhaustion. Many of the wounded are brought back from death’s door, the soul mother robbed of her chance to cut their strings this time around. The Rofirein officer in charge, Lieutenant Vercilaas, is insistent on returning to Fort Vehl with their dead before heading elsewhere. He refuses to leave any of their dead in the swamps. He also cautions against moving the stones to Dapplegreen, but defers to Aesthir’s decision as the ranking Co’rys officer present. Regardless, it is obvious he will return their dead and wounded to the temple first.Mangus trips on a gnarled root hidden within the muck and water of the swamp. A nearby knight quickly offers his hand to pull him to his feet, ignoring the fact that orcish blood flows through the veins of the wet and tired adventurer. This is something Mangus has rarely seen or experienced… an appreciation and concern for who he is as a person, not a reaction to the color of his skin and his large jutting teeth.Storold and Vreeble are seen conferring. Those close to them overhear conversation regarding the strange stones. The bird flutters to their position and fluidly shifts into the shape of Foresta. She joins the conversation.The time is nearly upon them, equipment has been stowed, men are mounted, and the dead are secured. Lieutenant Vercilaas calls out to the adventurers, “What shall it be brave ones? Will you accompany us to Vehl, and then to Dapplegreen… or do you make haste direct? If you head to Dapplegreen, do you think it wise to take those stones to a lightly defended population center?” To Aesthir he gives a wry grin and says “Perhaps your superiors will want to weigh in on your decision too…”

It can sometimes be frustrating when trying to develop a character along a certain tangent to prepare them for the CDQ that will push them over the threshold to reaching their goal, or fleshing out that CDT for a request. From the GM side it can also be hard to come up with a good idea for a CDQ without some background story to work from. If this is something you are experiencing, please read on.An aspiring weapon master with no master...?A devotee of a certain deity with nobody to teach them the basics...?A shadowy rogue wanting to probe possible membership in a thieves’ guild...?An adept wanting to learn more about Al'Noth and its applications...?The list goes on and on. I'm going to take requests for a while from players needing some extra GM involvement with their characters to help with this. If you are interested, post something here and I will start a thread and we can get the ball rolling. This is an excellent opportunity to start a plot or tangent you can use to later request a super high quality CDQ.

Hey everyone, just a little status update. This week I will be out of state on business and may have limited access to my computer as IT will be taking it for upgrades for a few days. Also, things have been slow response-wise for the last week and a half or so and will continue to be so for another week or two due to obligations with my HOA as we are in the middle of about 11 civil suits and 30 lien filings... so apologies if posts and in-game actions continue to be a little slow. I'm off to the airport now and will try to stay in touch. :-)

Stygian pulled up an old stump in the small clearing near the abandoned bandit camp and arranged it close to the fire. He had sent some follow-up messages to those brave enough to respond to his first missive, and hopefully some of them would soon show up to discuss the future… possibilities.He breathed in a deep breath, savoring the faint smell that reached his nostrils… the scent of death. Obviously the old camp had not been abandoned for as long as he thought. He muttered a low and terrible incantation, weaving the Al’Noth, and interlacing entreaties to the Dark One. A low keening scream emanated from the ground and the translucent form of the spirit he dragged before him wavered in the feeble light of the small camp fire.“Go and watch. Warn me when others approach.” The spirit faded from sight to do the bidding of its new master.

*Stygian finishes penning some instructions on a piece of parchment, folds it in half, and seals it with a black blob of wax, inserting his signet ring into the soft material before it hardens. He hands it to one of his Corathite shop employees… and so begins the long journey of a piece of parchment whose message ultimately reaches the hands of some of Layonara’s worst criminals, pirates, serial killers, and worshippers of evil gods. “If you have received this missive you have been deemed both worthy and capable of contributing to an enterprise with the potential to generate great wealth, bring those competing against our goals to their knees, and further our overlapping areas of interest. Therefore, you are invited to take part in a summit where we can discuss the feasibility of a temporary alliance and strategize possible courses of action.The meeting time and place will be provided at a later date. Please leave sealed word of your interest at the Harpy in Fort Vehl, attention: Adder-------//Anyone interested that was not included in the group private message that is currently ongoing, please contact gilshem ironstone via PM and he will see to it that you are included and brought up to date. The goal is to actually put together a group interested in competing against the interests of "good" in some of the upcoming major plot-line quests. PVP is likely (as long as all parties are in agreement)... as well as some darned good RP. We may also be able to tie this group into some of the other GM quests and work against their "good" players.When appropriate, I'll create a forum for RP to give those not able to attend in-game functions an opportunity to be involved. (Insert GMT Players) As always, I will reward forum involvement the same as I do with my other plot-lines. I'm not a fan of private forums because I think most of us are experienced enough to not fall prey to meta-gaming, and it is fun for everyone to read and know as the players what is happening behind the scenes. If we have any issues I'll be available to gently council an offender.To prevent possible conflict of interest, I may lessen Stygian's involvement later because as a GM I want to give this little player driven initiative some "love and attention." You can count on some quests and GM forum response to your actions...If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM me or Gilshem.

Reports begin to filter into Sundance and Hilm Castle that a child has been burned at the stake by residents of a small village near Briardusk for being a witch... Little more is known of the event.

// Thread for Borris's CDQ and any involved.The smell of tar, dead fish, and seaweed was thick in the hull of the ship. Young Pirate Breaksalot was curled in a ball in the corner of the ship's hold, an iron manacle fastened around his ankle. He was a hardscrabble kid, raised on the mean streets of Vehl... but he was still a kid. Tears welled up in his eyes as he listened to the two men above decks."We're awaiting some more supplies and a few more deliveries. We should be able to sail out with the outgoing tide this evening."The voice of the other individual was cold as ice. "See to it there are no problems. If this load of meat is delayed, the sanctum will be displeased... and if they are displeased it may be your carcass on the Dark Lord's altar. Keep your men below deck. We don't want any problems with the local Rofirein contingents."

Bling Bling, the ugly orc sister of Moreg, a gate guard at Fort Vehl, was pining away. Moreg looked disgusted and yelled at her, “Why you sad?! You thinking about wild little halfling?! You crush him with you love. He too small.”She yelled back and pouted, “He say me Pretty!”Moreg rolled his eyes and slapped his large forehead with the palm of his hand. “Forget him. He nothing but little flea.”Big tears developed in her eyes. “No, he say me pretty! He say he come back and talk on conquest and battle. He bring trophy!”Moreg laughed, “You never see him again... He not come back to you. If he do, he probably bring twiggy man and you break in half.” When he slammed the door and left she started crying again.

//This thread to be used if needed for upcoming quest. Event is on Calendar HERE. Forum work in advance can make the event both more rewarding on a personal level, increase favor, and help to "flesh out" the quest.---------------------Word begins to filter around that an unsavory merchant named Boris Shiel (The Unwashed) in Fort Vehl is looking for a small group of adventurers for a job. Rumor has it that the work involves some type of hunting expedition into the Sooth Moors… and that the pay will be generous.

Word has spread that Rashish “The Red”, an allusive and brutal highwayman with a well-armed gang, has been confirmed to be operating throughout Southern and Central Mistone. This group of bandits has hit multiple caravans, civilian travelers, tax inspectors, and even small groups of adventurers. His attacks have provoked the Merchants of Port Hempstead and they have offered a 500 True reward for his head, or his arrest.Port Hempstead authorities indicate that the number of his forces cannot be confirmed, although the survivors of his raids have stated between 20 and 40. Survivors also claim he has spellweavers in his employ, and attacks have been coordinated with military precision. Caution should be used in tracking and engaging this criminal enterprise.

Stygian portals to The Great Library and begins research on his issues related to the "Luck Eater." This is after he stubbed his toe three times in a row, within the span of about 15 minutes, when he woke up this morning. His cursing was both loud and prolonged.//If you would rather me post follow-up somewhere else more appropriate, please move thread and let me know. Thanks man... :-)

It has been a couple of years. Glad to see Layo is still around. I had some really good times here. Have downloaded the game again and have jumped in with Stygian to get re-acquainted. Thanks for the warm welcome back from those I saw in-game today. :-) Hope to see some more of you running around.-Ravemore, aka Stygian Achnuman

Kati in Center has asked for help from any adventurers that pass by her wagon. Pirates have landed a raiding party in Windjamer's bay and are pillaging the area. Authorities are many several days away from any meaningful counter measures. A courier bringing a family ring to her from Port Hempstead has disappeared. She is offering a modest reward for help in returning the ring. //Impromptu is ready now. Characters under level 10 please.

Just an FYI for players that have quests in progress or planning... I have been activated for disaster duty on the east coast for hurricane Irene for approximately 3 weeks and will not be able to get in game for that period of time. The permissions on my work laptop do not allow me to run NWN. I will continue to be active in the forums and IRC though. This means we can continue forum RP or meet in IRC for interactions. This also means there may be delays in responding to posts or PM's. My sincere apologies.

Rumors have begun to circulate that agents of The Silver Buckle have made inquiries into a mapping expedition of the sewer systems in Mariner's Hold, both new and old. Other unknown parties have also begun asking discreet questions.

Adder chuckles as he reads the folded parchment and shakes his head. He sits down at his desk, takes a deep drink from his glass of wine, and contemplates. After a long while he calls his familiar. The little red devil with the long forked tail slinks into the room and cocks his head to the side. "Go to Leringard and find Naster. Tell him his request for aid will be answered and I will arrive soon to discuss terms and required resources." The little devil slunk out of the room and headed for the portal. *Adder chuckles again* "It appears The Dark Lord's work will take us to Brelin.

*Tacked to your bedroom door.* Finn, I have an important delivery for you to make. A small box is sitting on the table in the meeting room. Be very cautious with it, as damage to the contents could be dangerous. I require the item to be taken to Fort Vehl. Leave word at a tavern called "The Harpy" for an individual named "Naster." He will find you and will provide you with a letter containing my seal. Nothing will be exchanged for the box. If anyone tries to take the box from you before you can deliver it, use deadly force to protect it. You will be compensated for your troubles. -S.A. //Purely RP. An actual meeting between you two could be interesting. Gelooo, I'll post again with contents description after the delivery has been made.  The seal is a black wax skull attached to a parchment letter. Assume I sent it to you a couple of weeks prior to let you know that our agreement reached previously, concerning what you want, and what I want to know, was near completion.

Adder stepped outside the shop and breathed in the fresh Dalenthar night air, shutting the door behind him quietly. The moon peeked out from behind some clouds, casting eerie shadows about. He recited a short incantation and was enveloped by magical invisibility. A short time later he found the spot where he often glimpsed Finn, his delivery employee, sitting and sharpening weapons when the weather was fair. *He chuckled lightly* His love sick employee... rumors and snippets of conversation led Adder to believe that he was in love with someone named "Clover." He also was lead to believe the relationship was a little "rocky" at the moment. He removed a small box containing a vial of purple fluid and placed it behind a small rock where he was sure Finn would find it. His hands were gloved, and he had never touched the box or vial with his bare hands. A label on the outside identified it as a "Love Potion" A small note inside the box had the following message penned: "To ensure the undying love of your heart's desire, place a quarter of this fluid in a sweet drink and have them consume it." Adder stood up. If any could have glimpsed his hooded and shadowed face they would have seen a very cruel grin. The potion was actually a very nasty disease. He wondered how long Finn would be able to resist the temptation of using it after he had someone read him the label and accompanying note. Would he let love takes its natural course and risk heartbreak? Would he use it on others in attempt to make her jealous? Would he slip the concoction to her, fulfilling a selfish desire? Adder giggled.... The possibilities were endless! It was amazing how a small stone tossed into a still pond could make such large and concentric circles, touching so many lives. Corath would be pleased if Finn faltered...very pleased. //FYI Hellblazer and Mooneyes have been consulted on this, as well as a GM. Any others it may affect will also be consulted by Hellblazer if that eventuality materializes. We'll see what happens...
