RPG The Dragonlance Chronicles

[PWNED]

One time there was a fantasy world called Anaslon where monsters run wild and Dragons were soon to rule the skies.
This was a time of trouble and four companians were heading back to the town of Solace for a re-unitement after 5 years of searching the land for proof of the gods of old, unlike the false gods of the seekers.


As Miltades walked back to Solace from Pax Tharkas he wondered how his hometown had changed in the five years he was away.As he neared Solace a group of goblins came into view with a hobgoblin on a horse leading them.

Once the small goblins came into veiw the hobgoblin yelled out an order to halt. Miltades obeyed this command immiediatly not wanting to cause any problems. As the Goblins walked towards him the hobgoblin began barking out orders in the goblin to search his body for a staff of some kind.
" What if i don't have a staff" Miltades spoke in the guttural Goblinoid tongue.
The hobgoblin smiled and then said in the common tongue "than you die".
One of the goblins walked back and reported that there was no staff., Miltades drew his sword and asked " What does the therocrat want with a staff".
The hobgoblin leader pulled his horses reins to turn it aroun and said," you think we work for the high therocrat" and then told the goblins to eliminate him.

Miltades immediatly spun aroun and removed the head of the closest hobgoblin and then drove his shield into the face of the next goblin followed up by a sword thrust to the stomach leaving three goblins. two of the goblins charged him while the last goblin dropped his sword and ran after the hobgoblin leader.
Miltades blocked both of the goblins blows and clove the leftmost goblins head down the middle and the dropped down on one knee and kicked out the legs of the other goblin and stabbed his sword through its cheat and the kicked the blade even further in to the goblins chest.

Miltades grimaced at his sword in disgust at his blade that was dark woth goblin blood and then knelt down and cleaned it on the cleanest part on a goblins tunic.
Miltades looked at the goblin corpses and asked himself a short question, "Is the High therocrat so corrupt that he will hire goblins or is there another power at work.
He then continued on to the Inn of the Last Home in Solace thinking of what the others had found

OOC: im glad we finaly started but is this going to go exacly according to the story line in the books?


IC:
Guerrand climbed up the long wooden stairs to the inn of The Last Home, the inn at Solace was as some say, one of the wonders of Krynn. The entire city was built up high between the tree tops of the mighty vallenwoods, all of the houses-with the exception of the blacksmith-were built between the tree branches, seeming to be part of the forest itself.

Entering the inn, Guerrand was swept with the warmth of the inn flowing from the fire place at the other end of the common room.

"Home at last", he gave a faint sigh

Closing the door, he stared around the place for a few moments and went to sit by the bar

"A mug of ale if you will"

"Certainly", said the bartender-Otik, the owner of the inn.
Placing the mug of ale infront of his new customer, Otik stared into the hood of the mage's red robes

"By the gods, if it isnt master Guerrand, i barely recognised you after all this time"

Pulling his hood back, Guerrand looked up at Otik with a smile.
"Hello Otik, its good to see you again"

"And you too, what brings you back here after all these years?"

"Im...expecting company"

"Say no more, ill have a table ready for you and your friends, fully served of course. Dont bother, your money is no good here, its the least i could do"

"Thank you", Guerrand said with a smile, and went back to drinking his ale, waiting...

[color=009966][i]Iris sighed deeply as the autumn breeze flitted past her white robes, picking leaves off the ground as it went. Solace was beautiful at this time of the year, almost as beautiful as her homeland of Qualinesti. The vallenwood trees were in vibrant shades of gold and red, which seemed to magnify the setting sun, which was a soft shade of pink. How long had it been since she had last been here? Five years? It seemed about right, but Iris wasn't certain. To elves, the passing of a year is nothing more than the passing of a season, or maybe a thunderstorm even.

She located the Inn of the Last Home perched in one of the largest vallenwoods in all of Abanasinia. She climbed the stairs gracefully, the hem of her robes brushing against her ankles. She opened the door and was welcomed immediately by warmth, smells of cooking fires, and Otik's beaming face. [/i]

Otik: "Iris! I haven't seen you in a while! What would you like to drink?"

Iris: "Just a bit of wine, thanks."

Otik: "Sure thing." [i]He disappeared behind the counter and reappeared a few seconds later with a glass of wine.[/i] "Oh! I almost forgot. One of your friends has already arrived. He's sitting over there."

[i]Iris thanked him politely and walked over to sit beside Guerrand.[/i]

Iris: "Nice to see you after all of these years, Guerrand. How are you?"[/color]

[PWNED]

As Miltades entered the doors to the Inn of the Last home he there was the familiar face of Otik right by his side who when Miltades entered was pulled into a tight one armed hug.

Miltades struggled free from the embrace and whispered, "Nice to see you too Otik"

Otik smiled broadly and said " It has been years since you were last seen, can i get you a drink?"

Miltades massaged his throat and managed to say louder "Just Ale please", and then scanned the crowd for a familiar face.

Otik reappeared from behind the counter holding a glass of Ale from the brewerys in Haven and pointed over to the table in the corner of the room and said " You should look over there because there is something that might suprise ye".

Miltades' spirit soared when he saw an elf and a human sitting at that table and rushed over and gathered them both in a bear hug. After a minute the two were trying to struggle out of his arms when he let go off them and asked " So, anything happen during the past five years.

[Deedlit]

[color=009966]Iris: "Rumors of war have spread. Par-Salian has called together a council in the Tower to discuss these rumors."

[i]Iris took a sip of wine and set it down again. She stared at the dark-red liquid for a moment, her gaze abstracted. Her eyes narrowed slightly.[/i]

Iris: "Strange things are happening. When I left the Forest of Wayreth, I found strange footprints in the ground, fresh."

[i]Otik came from the kitchen and laid a large tray of spiced potatoes in front of them. She waited until he disappeared again before she spoke, but she had droped her voice barely above a whisper. [/i]

Iris: "They were clawed and about this long," [i]she spread her hands about fifteen inches,[/i] "and this wide." [i]She brought her hands a bit closer together, the space between them being about four or five inches. Guerrand frowned. Miltades nodded grimly.[/i]

Guerrand: "I've also seen footprints that match that description."

Miltades: "So have I. What about you, Guerrand? Have you found anything?"[/color]

[Anime Otaku]

Guerrand listened and nodded

"Well like you two i too discoverd these strange footprints in some of the places iv been.
Also, theres a rumor about an army gathering up north, most likely those rumors about a war or true,I also saw swarms of merceneries traveling up north, probably to join that army. The Conclave is concerend as well, they have also been getting reports from mages up north about disturbences or so Justarius tells me"
Nibling on some potatos, he continued
"If there is a war going on,and an army gathering, someone is going through alot of trouble to hide any signs of it, im starting to get concerned.
So, what is our next step?, do we continue to investigate or just let it be?"

[PWNED]

Miltades stuck a fork in the potatos and when Guerrand finished his tale, and began to point out some facts.
"So each of us have been finding clawed footprints, there has been increased activity near Haven and near Pax Tharkas as well as i ran into a Goblin patrol lead by a Hobgoblin"

Iris did not look impressed about the last bit and said,"The Therocrat has hired Goblins, big deal".Miltades scowled at this continued " No they wern't hired by the therocrat and they were searching for a staff of some kind so i don't think it is very safe to keep near Solace"
Guerrand looked shocked about this and whispered "We cannot, Raistilin is yet to arrive" Iris nodded and muttered, "We have never been on an adventure without him, so i belive we should wait at least until evening for him to arrive so that we can escape with the darkness"
