feeds@yuku.com (urdjur) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 08:07:38 GMT

It is dusk as you arrive in Shushima. The trading town of Shoto sits on the edge of the Oasis of Sanguine, with a vast desert extending to the south west. In the market place, merchants are packing up their goods and closing their tents up for the night. A pair of newly produced warforged with the imperial seal of Shushima seem to be in charge of the market place, but they pay no particular attention to you. Sam notes that they are of the new, compact
Rounding the bend, Sam and Christian smell a rat - or rather, Christian's dog does. Scrambling for weapons expecting a fight, the duo find themselves greeted by two comely ladies -...

Chapter 8: Justice

After an intense but brief foray into the graveyard district, the party is debriefed by King Solomon and retire to the tavern. You take the opportunity to get a good night's rest and go about your business the next day. Astar makes arrangements with his temples, Imnos and Sam poor over some rituals, and Jonathan alternates brushing up on archery, swordplay and cooking.

The druid Astar mentioned was last seen in Hitheron, where the dwarf's search for Lagosh began a few years...

Chapter 7: The Chariot

Later that evening, the party is gathered for an evening snack, discussing tactics for tomorrow's mission. Sam seems a bit absent, reading, almost as if he was hiding behind the latest edition of Novala Weekly. He finds a captivating story about an interplanar disturbance in Hitheron - where he, Komori and Ensjak last visited when they met with Orlon at the Fork Tavern in the small town of Kether for their Blue Lodge interview. If the newspaper could be believed, parts of the Hitheronian...

Welcome to The Other Realm 4.0! At least 90% of your sheets are now finished and any final kinks or skill optimization can probably be pounded out using retraining rules and some good will As you can see, you have a very large city to explore and the best way is probably to talk to some people. I omitted the descriptions of the, say, one thousand NPCs that you can interact with in your current location - just assume that whatever...

Chapter 6: The Lover

It's early afternoon as you arrive at the Silverdale main teleportation circle. Your name and nationality are noted by the clerk and you are free to roam the streets of the bustling metropolis. It is common knowledge that Silverdale has about 50,000 inhabitants with perhaps 10,000 staying in the city center. Several thousand more are visiting the city today however, due to King Solomon's inauguration speech, which will take place at this very town square, only a few hours from now....

Chapter 5: The Hierophant

feeds@yuku.com (urdjur) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 06:49:25 GMT

Dante, Maya and Sourhat had gathered in the garden to plan out the defense of the Blue Lodge that was now largely evacuated. Orlon and his brave dog riders remained behind to make a stand, and the three mages would naturally give it all they had. By now, your group was deemed so battle hardened that it was up to you if you wished to stay and defend the lodge or run away - the choice is yours.

Taking the hair lock from Biella, Dante drops it in the circular pool of water near the...

Chapter 4: The Emperor

The Novalian continent commonly known as "The South East Kingdoms" comprises Condenderlon, Solana, Kelt and Borovia, as well as some barbarian lands and contested wilderness. The central White Mountains - location of the lair of the white dragon that the group slew previously - defines the center of the continent, and cold winds from the South pole of Novala makes the summit frigid indeed.

It was morning and Svein had a map of the South East Kingdoms spread on the table,...

Chapter 3: The Empress

OOC: Argh! The chapter 2 thread is cursed. Feel free to continue RP:ing here. I'll move the action forward once the sheets are in order.

Imnos makes himself familiar with the Lodge, telling stories about the party's adventures to those who would listen. Elena, who is also an accomplished psion, helps him get settled in and shows him the facilities for both research and meditation at the bottom floor.

Grodden feels that he has...

Chapter 2: The High Priestess

It was afternoon, the day before the Day. Your team of four had gathered in the garden once more to go over the contents of the handy haversack (that Svein had provided you with) for the umpteenth time. As you all knew by heart at this point, it held the following contents:

Main compartment: Large pavillion tent for 8...

Chapter 1 - The Magician

feeds@yuku.com (urdjur) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 09:44:29 GMT

You awaken after a long, deep sleep, feeling fully rested - a sensation you haven't had in a long time. Your first morning at the Blue Lodge! Or is it morning? The scent of freshly baked bread spreading downwards from the upper floor tells you it is.

Chapter 0 - The Fool

feeds@yuku.com (urdjur) — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 13:13:04 GMT

The Fork is an appropriately Y-shaped building with two floors plus a cellar. The main entrance and bar counter are centrally located with tables, chairs, booths and separate dining rooms at the bottom floor, and rooms and dormitories upstairs. Food and drink are acceptable to most, and the skewered lamb is even quite famous.

It's crowded, as is to be expected on such a fine spring evening as this one. It's quite normal for people of all races to frequent the Fork, but even so the...
