Welcome to Gaia! ::

INTRODUCTION
This is the first RP of the DL Guild. I shall be acting as a DM/GM sort of figure, handling enemy encounters, story, and NPC'S. I will also tell you when to roll a D20 for a saving throw or such things. I will also level you D&D Style

This may seem different from other RP threads you've seen, but hey, it's all in it's infancy with the new gaia dice simulator!
But Keep in mind....As GM... I make the rules (in accordance with the rules in the rules thread.)

Narration and such will appear as normal text, NPC's will be in different colors. Dice roll commands will appear in centered italicized text

So without Further ado....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Inn of Last Home, Nighttime, Winter. Solinari and Luniarti are crescents in the sky. There is a light snowfall as A young man performs in front of a large crowd. The crowd consists of a wide array of races from all over the continent of Ansalon.

The Man is playing a lute and singing a song about the great wars of the past and the lost heroes. He stops to a round of applause from the crowd.

"And now, Friends, Patrons, well wishers and...", he pauses as he turns and looks at a small group of kender, "and itemfinders,"
Slight chuckling all around the inn
"I will now tell a tale of bravery, valor, sacrifice, and love. It begins not long ago in this very town...."
"Just south of here is where we begin...."


{will continue once characters are submitted}

An elf with an intellectual eye looks out of a window from her night's, inn's room. She was of a slender build with sharp, blue eyes. "Looks like this storm may last a while..." She turns from her place and looks around. After a few minutes, she stands up and reaches for the door. There are footsteps outside.

Slowly, she opens the door to see what's causing the rustle. A few people in aprons are huddled around a figure laying on the ground.

She sighs to herself. "There goes my quiet night's rest. I better not get involved..." She closes the door to her room and resumes her place by the window.

((I think I'm having an off-night creativity-wise sweatdrop Please pardon me if what I've posted isn't all that great ^.^;; ))

Having just wandered away from the lute-player, Mags is, in all her curiosity, trying to see who the man on the floor is.

Tugging on someone's shirt sleeve she asks, "Why is that man lying on the floor?" Catching a glimpse of the man's hair colour, Mags continues to speak to the poor person.

"Oh my! He has blonde hair! I wonder if he's tried changing its colour.. That reminds me of the time my Uncle Itemfinder..."

The person quickly recovers their sleeves and shoos the Kender away.. Feeling slightly miffed, our little Itemquester wanders over to the door to peek outside. She has just begun to open the door when a mass of limbs and weathered cloak lands on top of her. ((OCC: by mass of weathered cloak and limbs I meant bluezjessi ^.^))

"Umph! Why hello there! What's your name? I'm Mags Itemquester!"

Befu sighs as she thinks of her past.. what brought her here. "Why is this still bothering me? He's gone. Done. Move on, Befu.. all this will accomplish is more heartache." She takes a deep breath and stands up once more. "I doubt I'll fall asleep right away.. I'll go take a walk."

Opening the door cautiously, seeing the bartender and a few hefty men carrying the figure down the hall, she slips out quickly and locks her door with the room key given to her. She stops at one of the guards. "I'm going out for a while. Make sure my room stays vacant." The guard gives a slight nod and she reaches for the door, only to have a small tug at her robes.

"What do you want?" Befu angrily glares at the child. Seeing the poor thing's horror in its eyes, she lightens up. Just as she was about to appologize the child ran away.

Shrugging it off, she puts her hood up and opens the door. The blistering cold surrounds her and pushes her hood from around her ears.

"I wouldn't go out there if I were you." A voice sounded from inside.

"I wouldn't go out there if I were you." The young woman voiced somewhat softly, just loud enough for the slender elf's ears to pick up. She watched as the fair wanderer turned to face her in the eyes. A chill glare shot at her, and the cleric faltered slightly under the gaze.

"You have no right to tell me whether or not I-" The dark elf paused, her eyes narrowing. "Is that a kender..?" She glanced down somewhat after spotting the sleeping being, a traveler's cloak draped over her small frame. "Yes, it is. The poor dear helped me in after I found my way here. She has only just fallen asleep..." The cleric trailed off as she saw no change in the elf's demeanor, and tensed her voice slightly.

"Listen, the only reason why I would suggest your staying for the night is that on my way here, I wasn't only wandering through a storm. There -is- something out there, and it's most likely hunting-"

"I can easily take care of myself, if your dim human eyes could not tell." Glancing over at the guard, she motioned. "You keep a good eye on my door. I don't want any clever little kender accidently 'finding' their way in there."

The cleric sighed glancing down, attempting to rub some feeling back into her frozen limbs. Muttering a small prayer under her breath once again, her eyes passed over her possessions. For a fleeting moment, she had the oddest feeling something had gone missing. But she shook that thought away, knowing that she'd just make sure to ask Mags once she woke up, whether or not her kender hands had picked something up recently for 'safe keeping'.


(Now, I wonder what could have disappeared... ninja And where this will go. XD' I wrote some things as if a few moments had passed, considering 'the blonde' was taken to a room, and...sturf... >wo' I am too obvious with some things. sweatdrop But for one thing, I'm sorry if I constantly change tenses of story. XD'' *went from present to past..ish* )

The cleric blinks herself awake slightly, having started to nod off, to find the kender holding up a letter inches from her face.

Startled, she nearly falls while trying to sit upright. Holding a hand to her head, she finally recalls what the sealed parchment was, and letting out a slight exclaimation, quickly takes it back. "Oh, thank Gods-" Realizing that it had slipped her mind, as well as her hold, she turns to thank her friend.

"Seems it slipped out when I covered you up there..." Laughs a bit and smiles weakly. "I am always loosing these sorts of things. Thank you for finding it for me." She smiles again, completely at a loss whether or not she had dropped it or if Mags had 'found it'.

"It seems upon our sudden meeting I was still too frozen for an introduction." She bows her head to the little kender with a warm smile. "My name is Kaelin. Kaelin Tsuyu."

Not heeding the cleric's warning, she turned and ventured out into the biting cold. She wasn't planning on going far-just around the area to try to clear her mind.

What she was thinking when she made the decision was anyone's guess. The temperature was dropping at a rapid rate and when the winds would pick up, only a fool would be daring enough to take them on. Yet, she still trudged onward, making circles around the inn. 'This cold will remind me how thankful I am for a place to stay tonight...' she thought to herself.

*snap* She heard a faint crack in the distance only an elves delicate hearing would be able to distinguish. This made her turn on her heals and head back to the inn. 'What am I afraid of?' Still unable to make any sence as to why she was fleeing, Befu made quick time back to the inn's door.
