New Quest

[Spirit Hunters]

I'm looking to do a quest with a more traditional style adventuring party.

A wizard, a fighter, a rogue. that kinda deal. Something diverse?

I'd prefer a little bit more experienced writers but im not choosey if you can write a post that's more than a paragraph or two and you're not looking to avenge your father and mother who were killed in a tragic bandit attack on your small farm town or somesuch :D

I'm looking for 2-3 other roleplayers who can get on at least twice a week or so. Anyone who has any ideas can throw them out in this thread too.

[Kryos]

I may be interested in this quest of yours. Where does it take place? I'll need to see if it can fit in Kryos' timeline.

[Raven, Setontalf]

I can be the wizard. I can fit in anywhere [except Salvar], and am welcome to anything that will make money for Crusoe. Count me in.

[Miehm]

I can be a Fighter, or a rangerish-type character.

[Spirit Hunters]

great. there's three people. i'm open to any contenent and if you guys want to give me a quick idea of what you're interested in doing quest wise or any general input, go to town.

[Kryos]

It would be cool if we did it in Scara Brae. I'm redoing Kryos' history, so this could add to it. But, what did you have in mind for the quest?

[Christoph]

And don't forget about the new mission board (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=18219) in Scara Brae. ;)

[Kryos]

Oooo. Those look fun. What do you all think? The graveyard one could be fun!

[Miehm]

Grave Problem or Red Ship are my votes.

[Christoph]

Grave Problem has the potential to unlock a boss battle of sorts in the form of [classified]. >.>

[Spirit Hunters]

Grave Problem is taken. Any other suggestions?

[Kryos]

Well, I'm all for it. However, realize that if we agree to do this, we must commit for a speedy run. I guess I should have let you all know earlier. I'm leaving sometime this summer for two years, of which, I will not be on Althanas. So, we must be able to do this before I leave. I don't have the details, but I will let you know (granted we do take this on) as soon as I get them.

And Spirit Hunters, your last post had two possible meanings. First, we have taken that quest, and you would like other suggestions before we start. Second is that it has already been taken by someone else, so we should try another idea. Which did you mean? Although, Grave Problem can be done by multiple parties, if you hadn't noticed. Just checking.

Thanks.

[Miehm]

One person has claimed Grave Problems. It is, however, open to be claimed multiple times, in multiple graveyards. Thus, while it is taken, we can still take it.

[Christoph]

That is correct. I left it open to multiple groups to represent how wide-spread the problem is.

[Spirit Hunters]

And Spirit Hunters, your last post had two possible meanings.

I meant it was taken by someone else, but I didn't know its free to more than one group.

We'll go with that one then I guess. Sorry, I was out yesterday or I would have replied sooner.

Who wants the opening post?

Oh, and does anyone object to NPCs?

[I Am Zee]

Given the nature of the mission, I'd like to throw my hat in there as well, if you don't mind a fourth person. It would just be an interesting and slightly ironic quest to take part in with this character. If four is too many, that's fine.

[Kryos]

I'll leave the intro post up to you guys. I have a lot on my plate, and I'll need a little time to see where and when and how to incorperate this into Kryos' story. So much to do, so little time.

So, I guess I would be a fighter/rouge character. This will be fun!

[Miehm]

I'll make the opening post, as long as no one minds a small bit of bunnying.

NPCs are no issue.

[Raven, Setontalf]

I'm going to drop out so that Zee can play with you guys. His character fits better anyways. Have fun.

[Kryos]

Please don't bunny me. I'll figure out a way to incorperate myself into this right off the back. Continuality is important.

[I Am Zee]

Well thanks Rav, I appreciate that.

And on the bunnying note, I'm not sure why we would need to bunny each other...especially right off the bat.

[Miehm]

Because I find it easier to set the tone, and make a comprehensive and coherent first post when I can at least slightly manipulate all of the characters. Or even manipulate most of the characters.

[Kryos]

Perhaps later on, bunnying Kryos will be fine. But I'll take care of Kryos and how he gets incorperated. It shouldn't be too hard. I think I've figured out how to get him in immediately. Thanks.

Oh, and about the mood and tone, I can conform pretty easily to match my tone with yours, so pacing shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[Miehm]

That's fine. I'll just get things started anyway, and let things fall where they may.

On second thought, I don't think I can do it. Every way I've tried to start I keep trying to control everybody else in this, so I'll let y'all work out the start and get myself in some other way.

[Spirit Hunters]

I'll make the first post then later tonight but it'll be early AM. its not a big deal. I'm not a fan of bunnying myself. I'll set up a meeting place and people can jump in as you have time.

Looking forward to it :)

[Spirit Hunters]

double post. sorry.

Here is the link to the opening post. any question`s or whatever, just PM me.

We can talk about where we`re going to go from here if we get stuck on this thread here. Any suggestions for the quest, post away.

EDIT.

Here is the actual link, http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?p=139103#post139103

[Kryos]

You all must forgive me.

Mondays and Wednesdays are the worst for me. I have classes from nine till five, plus homework and the other insane things that college life requires. So, I will make my best attempt to get my post up tonight, but if not, then definately tomorrow.

Also, quick question, Spirit Hunters. When you say three others were invited, is that all of us, or does that include that man you are working with? In other words, did Zee get invited? I think that would be strange that a zombie were to be invited. Unless if he plans to do something similar to what I'm doing, or just not get it in the first place. Oh, well. We'll figure it out.

Thanks!

[Spirit Hunters]

For all intents and purposes, pourquoi and my NPC are pretty much one character. Pourquoi doesn't really do anything and is for now, only there for role-playing purposes. Qu'est-ce fills the actual combat part of the character.

Sorry, to answer your question, the other three invitations were to all you guys. The invitations can say whatever you want from the duke as to why he invited you if you want to quote the actual letter in your post. Someone can feel free to take the reigns on story direction for a bit.

[I Am Zee]

i was thinking something along the lines of " judging by your life/death situation, you may be able to provide an unorthodox expertise to the investigation etc etc "

na mean?

OR, as Kry mentioned, it would be somewhat odd for an undead such as Zee to be considered for anything other than extermination. the idea of him receiving a letter is all the more peculiar considering he has no permanent residence. perhaps a more likely scenario would be that Zee simply took refuge within the graveyard and is discovered by you three? (or four)

[Kryos]

That could work. Maybe the other person just didn't want to come. Maybe he got too creeped out.

[I Am Zee]

Werd. And another cool little tid bit, would be for Pourquoi to sense Zee with her Sensitivity ability and maybe yall go investigate? After all, as far as you guys would know, Zee could have been the source of all the grave robbings. itll make for an interesting interaction [=

[Spirit Hunters]

All of these ideas are good. Just make your characters introduction posts whether or not they join in at the manor and I'm just going to edit the number of letters sent in my first post after I know what everyone is up to. I just wanted each character to have a reason to be at my location.

EDIT

Zee, if you want Pourquoi to use her sensitivity to sense him, that would be a cool way to link up our characters. PM me if that's how you want to do it.

[Kryos]

Man, you all are quick! I'm going to have to really push myself to keep up with you all. Unfortuanately, with Round One of the ToC ending, and the start of Chapter 3 of the FQ, and other stuff like college and a life, I won't have a post up till Friday or Saturday. Again, sorry, and my thanks for the patience.

[Spirit Hunters]

That's fine. Zee can post in front of you and we'll look for your post friday/saturday.

[I Am Zee]

mine will most likely be friday aswell....




sawwy

[I Am Zee]

Double Post. Sorry.

Just a note, we should cut back on the OOC Text. It takes away from the pacing and makes it an awkward read.

@ Miehm: I would go ahead and delete all of the OOC text in your latest post. You don't have to explain that your character is from an alternate dimension. That's what profiles are for. If you must explain it, do so in character in a way that gets the message across without directly saying, " I'm from another dimension. "

[Spirit Hunters]

In regards to my own OOC notes in the quest thread, im going to delete all of it before we submit it for judging, but when i've been working on a post for like, half an hour to an hour, its a pain to PM people with my ideas or jump over to this thread to leave them there.

But yeah, don't worry, i agree. I think the OOC notes are tacky and take away from the story itself and I'll try and delete them as they become irrelevant. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Kryos]

Hello? Is everyone still there? I don't want another thread to die on me. At the rate we were going, we'd be done a two or three weeks. Max.

[I Am Zee]

im still here...but i posted most recently...sooo.....

[Spirit Hunters]

Sorry, just started a new job. been sleeping a lot. expect a post from me in the next 24 hours.

[Kryos]

I was under the presumption that this quest would only last that one night? What are we planning? If we just wait around for a good part of the thread, our pacing score will definately drop. Besides, threads that have good action and keep a steady pace are more fun to write.

Thanks.

[Ariana]

Hey, is it ok if I join the fray? I'll do anything needed, well everything needed to join.

[I Am Zee]

It might be an awkward time to just toss in another person...and might be a bit more difficult to explain why she would be there at all...and yeah I also thought it was only going to span a short amount of time as well. Not too sure I can keep Zee wandering about the graveyard aimlessly without it getting redundant.

[Spirit Hunters]

again, i threw it up in a hurry. feel free to advance the night or embark before dawn.

[Kryos]

Oye! What happened? We had such a great thread going! I was so excited an all. Please don't tell me you all have given up. Is everyone still good to go?

[Spirit Hunters]

im just waiting for next in line. oh, also, if you think that my last post should have pushed things forward more, just say so and ill do a quick rewrite. I just dont want to redo the whole thing.
