• 02:22, 25 September 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Shiny Hunt (Created page with "Quelynos. The man all know as Alud'rigan, the Feathered One, is standing outside with a watering can as he finishes up tending to his garden. His woods are eternally awash in the warm hues of fall, the crisp of autumn in the air, but Grandfather--as many here know him as--is still growing plants year-round. "Well then!" he says happily to the adventurers who had joined him for a small meal of sandwiches and tea--Alud'rigan never hosts anyone, even someone doing a job fo...")
• 19:50, 21 September 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page If You Love Me (Created page with "Gramarye keeps an orderly home. She inherited it when her First Father passed away, as he made sure she was cared for in the waning of his twilight years, and while it's a quiet place tucked away on a quiet street that's a bit of a walk to get to from elsewhere in the Market District, peace and quiet is often at a premium in Alexandria. The war golem is busied with the act of finishing Aragos's laundry for him, folding it away neatly in her methodical way. Thankfully, t...")
• 19:02, 19 September 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Daily Affirmation (Created page with "There's a warm squash soup that is simmering to keep it warm. There is fresh bread, and a salad with dried cranberries mixed into the leaves of lettuce and other greens. There's even a nice dessert ready in the oven to keep it warm. A special sort of apple pie made to taste more like cinnamon rolls. It is even rolled into sections that have a vaguely rose-pattern. Auranar had found this particular type of pie in one of Grandfather's cook books and has been waiting for an...")
• 00:13, 17 September 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Gratitude (Created page with "Mornings at Zeke and Cuemoni's home in the woods are quiet affairs. Once Cuemoni is finished painting the traditional marks on herself and Zeke, they begin their morning routine. Tea is brewed. Incense is lit. Prayers and offerings are made for the Dragonfather and the spirits of their home and hearth, as well as any additional entities that might need offering to. When the morning ritual finishes, Cuemoni is helping with the clean-up, gently depositing the ashes of the...")

• 21:10, 10 September 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Fight for Us (Created page with "The season has begun to change, and the location of The Residence atop the Redridge makes it feel the growing chill more and earlier than others. The Residence, itself, is cozy, of course; a modest fire burning in the large hearth sees to this. Verna occupies her usual chair not far from said hearth, a light blanket lying across her lap and a tome resting atop the blanket. The side table holds teacup, saucer, and several additional books (previously perused or queued fo...")
• 20:27, 7 September 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Whispers of Rebellion (Created page with "Lower Market District of Alexandria, afternoon. Fall has arrived in Alexandria. The trees are beginning to turn colors, and there's a certain touch of the autumn chill in the air, a welcome reprieve for the warmth and heat of the Alexandrian summer. Mild and lovely, the market has adjusted in kind, with vendors selling various treats and snacks of all kinds. One such snack has taken the attention of a sildanyari woman with glasses perched upon her nose. Her silver eyes...")
• 02:50, 7 September 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Dinner for Four and a Pothy (Created page with "Lupecyll-Atlon home, evening Dinner in the Lupecyll-Atlon household really isn't that different from other homes. Oh, sure, the plates get moved around by unseen servants, and the delicate plum wine is from a small town in Xian. A well made meal of fish on rice, with fresh vegetables and bread for mopping up, though, wouldn't be out of place at a noble's table. "...It was definitely one of the stranger things I've seen," Telamon is saying, sitting back in his chair. T...")
• 01:37, 27 August 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Jiji Kiku (Created page with " GAME: Telamon casts Greater Teleport. Caster Level: 20 DC: 28 Greenflower is a village in the middle of the Alexandros countryside, and the people are clearly anticipating their harvest season. Children are laughing and darting around the adults that aren't off in the fields, hard at work setting up what appears to be a miniature harvest festival, building stalls that might one day house games or things to eat. The sun is shining. The sky is blue. Life is grand. Until...")
• 04:15, 24 August 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Litigation (Part 2) (Created page with "The female counter-council eyes Khepri warily. "Were you asked by my client to do anything that would have been against the nature of your service to Vardama?" Her voice is very careful and the male Al veritably vibrates with anticipation... At least until the goblin speaks up and then he pales. Al leans down and whispers to the nameless goblin. "It takes years to memorize the rules of the court. I can get you the first book if you like, but I'm doing my best here!" Kh...")
• 20:59, 23 August 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Toge Means Thorn (Created page with "A night spent in Cor'ethil's embrace saw Karasu and Cor'ethil waking up together in the serenity of the morning, with Daeus's light coming through the windows. Corey had been more than happy to try and calm Karasu's nerves with some tea and a light breakfast, but the man hadn't spoken much since the revelation of the kitsune. At some point in the morning, when the breakfast has been cleared and sent away, Cor'ethil is curled up next to Karasu on the floor, where the oth...")
• 04:11, 23 August 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Death With a View (Created page with "Isobar is a beautiful place, especially in late summer. Therefore, the airship ride over is the exact opposite of a hardship. The air is temperate. The Sea of Ea glitters as Daeus's rays dance on the waves. The sky is blue with fluffy clouds. If it weren't for the fact that the reason that Aragos, Slixvah, a nameless goblin, and Khepri are all on an airship happens to be work-related... It would be a nice pleasure cruise. Alas, the estate of Lord Timoteo, scion of the H...")
• 02:06, 19 August 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page On the Edge of Living (Created page with "Leca'fi Amdamu, time unknown When a sorcerer tells you 'he has an idea', sometimes it gets strange. The archmage known as Telamon Lupecyll-Atlon is no exception. Instead of a journey on horseback, or even by teleportation, he suggests the trio confer 'in a place much more secure'. With his house warded and guarded by himself and his lovely wife, Telamon mixed up a pot of tea, and poured three cups -- one for himself, and two for his guests, before ushering them into hi...")
• 03:18, 10 August 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Litigation (Created page with "The conveyance to the City of Brass turns out to be a very stubborn flying carpet which finds you and leads you out of the city and then convinces you to climb aboard. Once you do it shimmers and you are transported to the City of Brass. Atop the flying carpet you get a good view of the city. Which looks nothing so much as any market you've ever seen in your life but far more varied in the shape and number of stalls, patrons, and shopkeepers. Everyone it seems is welcome...")
• 19:48, 4 August 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Fair Pixie (Created page with "The Festival Grounds, for once, have a festival going. A quick and brief weekend affair, it's a harvest festival to ring in the harvest and start to say goodbye to the summer. There's a number of stalls, games, and more, in addition to, of course, archery contests and other things. "A real Alexandrian festival!" Cor'ethil exclaims with amazement as he's walking around on the arm of his fiance. As per usual, the Warden of Gilead is all smiles and bright eyes to look at t...")
• 17:00, 11 July 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Boogle Boogle (Created page with "Aragos doesn't have much purpose in the artificer's hall himself, but his daughter comes here pretty often due to her relevant interests. Thus he is here more for her than for himself. He stands idly near the front door, his back leaning against the nearby wall as he casually watches the comings and goings of the various people who are interested in artifice for one reason or another. "I really should show more interest." Aragos says to himself, a low murmur meant for h...")
• 19:26, 9 July 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Sands through the Hourglass (Created page with "It's a beautiful day in Alexandria. The skies are a dazzling blue. Daeus's rays are somewhat mellowed by the fluffy white clouds overhead that blot the yolk-yellow celestial body from time to time. There's even a lovely breeze that passes through the city. Alexandria is, after all, a city on the water, and proximity to the sea means enjoying the cool breeze. This means it's a perfect day for a picnic by the Tornmawr, or a dip in the river, or... Any activity that would...")
• 04:05, 6 July 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Silence in the Library (Created page with "The City Library of Alexandria, mid-day. The Explorer's Guild had a somewhat urgent posting, and that's how a group of adventurers with varying levels of familiarity have met each other this fine rainy day in Alexandria. The City Library, which is half-public library and half-place of worship for the god of knowledge, Navos, is usually a busy place. People are _typically_ in the library trying to find things, or they're just bored on a rainy summer day and happen to be...")
• 22:06, 30 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page A Will to Kill (Created page with " GAME: Corey rolls 2d10+18: (3)+18: 21 Faphinae Cari'thana tracks Akimitsu down outside of Alexandria, adopting the guise of a generic traveler through the use of an alteration spell. She is exceedingly skilled at keeping her distance, and she has Wuya flying overhead and pretending to be an ordinary bird, just flying from place to place and perch to perch as he pleases. Only until Sōri leaves through the gates does she find the right spot and occasion to place additio...")
• 18:54, 30 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Fragile Like Trust (Created page with "It's a beautiful summer day, sun shining high in the sky, the shops are busy a street or two over, but here the thrum of business is a little less... busy. Karasu had chosen the little cafe for them to wait at while Faphinae does a little shopping at one of the cute boutique stores that line the streets here. They've ordered tea enough for the three of them which is of the cold variety in honor of the warmth of the day. The light tangerine flavor is one that Karasu seem...")
• 22:07, 27 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Faphinae's Fanfare (Created page with "The Memorial Gardens District, afternoon. It's an oddly gray day in Alexandria. Daeus is hidden from the world by the auspice of silver-shrouding clouds, which means it's not quite so hot and perilous compared to other days in an Alexandrian summer. That being said, the Memorial Gardens are a refreshing green at all times of the year, so people seem to be here more today compared to the shores of the Tornmawr. "What a nice day for a picnic," Corey says with excitement...")
• 01:36, 25 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page He Says (Part 4) (Created page with "Thoth understands this feeling. Frustration. How powerful must a mage be, to have taken hold of a Genie? How powerful must his hold be on her? Its wings twitter in irritation as it steps further away from the housing. "This one suggests we prepare. At night, when the common-folk are asleep. When we do not risk accidental hurt. Yes?" The bird chirps to its allies. When did it take the lead on this? Since when could or should anyone trust Thoth to take the lead on anythin...")
• 20:59, 24 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page The Price of Fish (Created page with "It's just past noon, Variday. It's the beginning of summer, and the sun is shining down brilliantly. Here at the guard post leading into the city of Alexandria at least. There's a lot of activity at the gates. A line sprawling into forever. Other places it might be raining, but here, for now... The sun shines. The crowd slows even more as a cart in the middle hits a rut too hard and the axel snaps in half. It's one of the carts leaving the city, but it lurches into the...")
• 01:59, 24 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page One Thousand Cranes (Created page with "The door to the room that Corey shares with Karasu is closed, but as he approaches it, he can hear the sounds of a conversation inside. Caution slows a little, and he hears Karasu talking to Wuya. "I tell you, it is a perfect plan. He will not expect a gift fully four months before the occasion." "There is a reason for that." Wuya responds saucily. "You are meant to give it on-time." Karasu makes a small amused noise. "I want it to be a surprise birthday gift Wuya. Tha...")
• 21:23, 23 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page A Warning Not A Gift (Created page with "The park is almost suspiciously empty given the weekend date and the silence is pervasive. There's no birds. Not even insects chirp now and again, as if every living thing has gone into hiding. The lone soul sits upon a bench in the district, a bag on his lap as if he is there to feed the birds that are nowhere to be found. He is somewhat tall for a man of xian heritage, his black hair lightly touched here and there with gray and a singular short puff of white right in...")
• 01:08, 23 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Best Boy (Created page with "Vadran village is only a short ride (or even walk) beyond Alexandria's gates. The Adventurer's Guild posting (as well as word around the village and surroundings) requests interested parties travel here to meet a man named Karl for the task. The village, itself, is a quaint rural mini-community; small, yet with some perks at having a metropolitan area so nearby. In such a place, everyone knows most everyone else who lives or frequents the village, so seeking Karl is not...")
• 02:44, 20 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Ashes on the Ground (Created page with "Desert sand has gone gray with a layer of slippery ash. It's pouring upwards in gusts of wind, carried from the lava flows which you can catch a glimpse of in the near distance. In most places the lava has cooled to hot black stone, but in others it still moves lazily forth in fresh waves of searing heat. Occasionally the stone breaks to reveal more lava underneath, or a wave of sand that crystalizes into glass under the heat. The location on the edge of the Desolation...")
• 22:20, 19 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page A Warriors Instinct (Created page with "There's a small clearing in the woods that Aragos leads Gramarye to. It's the sort of place where one might set up a picnic, and indeed Aragos has a picnic basket in one hand. The truth is that he hasn't told Gramarye at all what to expect, and he's half nervous that she'll walk off when he explains. He sets the basket down on the edge of the clearing and coughs once. "So. You've been going off on all sorts of missions, and that's good. Helping people I mean. Very good."...")

There is a rouge wandering stuffed dog in the house after all. Not that the dog seems dangerous. It might be considered disquieting however. Lexi's mother Loriline is welcoming but distant. She is clearly uncomfortable with strangers in the house. She explains later in private to Sabina that its her husband's absence that causes the...")
• 02:58, 18 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page When you Wish Upon a Fish (Created page with "There's an old man standing before you, two of them in fact though one looks more finely dressed with a lute held carefully in his hands and an excited expression on his face. He's got gray hair but age hasn't stolen much of his handsome features, accentuated by his bright yellow and gold outfit. He looks nothing so much as a fancy canary. The other man is a bit older and more decrepit looking but very determined. He wears the garb of a sailor and seems otherwise to be f...")
• 02:07, 17 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page To Find a Mourner (Part 9) (Created page with "When we last left our heroes: "You heard her." Auranar says, her dark eyes gleaming as magic power surges through her body. "FOREVER." The magic courses to her hand and she feels it darken for the first time. Not light building up but darkness. The darkness of a finger in a box. The darkness of the words that Verna had whispered in the night. The darkness of fear, anger, and sorrow. "FEEL HER PAIN." The spell surges inside her and she curses the woman with all her migh...")

"Some healing drafts use a rose petal infusion for their base, but..." He pauses, considering. "Maybe I'm looking at this backwards. Gearsmasher's a wizard, he'd need material components for spells -- and the common material component for sleep is rose petals." He hmphs. "Da...")
• 03:40, 15 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Five Nightmares (Created page with "The Castle on the Edge of Waking The realm of sleep and dreams is not normally one for clarity. Although it can be a source of inspiration, such flashes of insight are usually half-formed, gradually carved into focus by the lucid, awakened mind. But sometimes, lucidity pervades in sleep, and one can walk strange roads. In this case, though, awareness settles on the group that they are in an elaborate dining hall, vaulted with gray stone that gleams as though polished....")
• 02:29, 8 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Break the Mold (Created page with "The call is put out for adventurers of any stripe to come take a look at some bodies gathered in the temple of Vardama. The suspect is one of the mages who escaped recently, but they need verification of identity and someone to eventually hunt down the suspect. Not to mention anything else that a member of the guild might be capable of thinking of in relation to the case that an ordinary Vardaman might not think of. Which is how you've all been gathered in the temple do...")
• 01:34, 5 June 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page He Says (Part 2) (Created page with " GAME: Sabina rolls spellcraft: (14)+14: 28 The elder frowns at Sabina but smiles at Thoth. "Sure, try a pie. Even one like you should be able to appreciate it!" He motions for the innkeeper to pull out a slice for Thoth and the innkeeper does so. "You guys planning to stay the night? This here's a right good inn!" Thoth stares down at the pie being offered to it. It already analyzed the pie. There is nothing special about the pie, as far as it can tell. Not that it's...")
• 02:33, 31 May 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page A Stealthy Inquest (Created page with "This is probably not a good idea, but Harshad's set on it. The more he hears about this guy, the less he likes, and he figures stealing his stuff is a good way to discourage him from trying to eat the locals. Besides, he rather likes Denorah and the spells needed to restore her weren't cheap. So Harshad dropped a silver coin in the offering bowl at the Temple of Vaire, murmuring a prayer to her aspect as Lady Luck, before setting out with Choler in tow. They've been ca...")
• 02:06, 29 May 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page He Says (Created page with "It's a lovely day to be traveling through the forest near Alexandria. You haven't actually entered the woods, but rather have been following a trail along the outside edge of it. The forest trees loom large due to foresting in the area, and more stumps of trees mark the landscape. You're quickly approaching the town where your backup is supposed to be waiting for you. Knowing the adventurers guild though... that could be or could not be just as easily. Given that the com...")
• 03:28, 27 May 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page To Find a Mourner (Part 7) (Created page with "So they've assembled an army to keep them out. That doesn't impress Telamon much. His star-shot eyes glitter with resolve, as he begins rapidly incanting a simple ward against fire. Of course, 'simple' for him is still quite powerful, as he puts a fingertip on Simony's head. A silvery pattern appears there, before fading. "There. If they opt for fire, this should tamp down the worst of it." He takes a deep breath, before invoking a similar spell for himself. "When we op...")
• 23:38, 18 May 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Honey Do (Created page with "Another job for the guild, another day in the sun. It's a beautiful day to be outdoors at least. The sort of day that most would be making a nice iced tea and perhaps a fruit salad to enjoy. Instead the group is on the road and nearly to the small village of Honeydew - so named for the melon which they grow in excess. A sleepy little village from which the last three merchants have not returned. Thus, with suspicions afoot the guild is called in to investigate. Just in...")
• 19:52, 7 May 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page A Happy Dance (Created page with "The sky is blue without a single cloud to obscure its beauty. The sunlght offers itself freely, but a cool breeze keeps the world from growing too warm for comfort. It had taken some doing to extricate himself from Cor'ethil's presence without a well-placed lie, but Karasu had persevered in the end by saying he was running an errand for Wuya. Which in the end was true enough. It had taken all of five minutes to locate the house of the Archmage Telamon, but somewhat long...")
• 01:39, 4 May 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Trade Off (Created page with "In this district, most shoppes are probably permanent and of a tier to more match their clientele. If there are mobile carts or stalls around, they might also be designed with their target audience in mind. As for Tlanexhuani's stall, it is... well, none of these things. He does not own a cart, nor even the pieces to make a stall: he'd never considered such a thing much before, and even in only the simplest terms when he did. So his stall consists of several crates and...")
• 21:58, 22 April 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Birds of another Feather (Created page with "The spring air is clean and clear, with the fine rays of noon-time sunshine dappling down onto the world below. This is a day that Corey would call a blessing, for it's the exact kind of day that he'd have spent in the woods, enjoying the bounty of nature in his surveys of the land. The paladin is, as a result, in very good spirits as he walks in Alexandria. Life is something to be savored, and despite everything... He will not let the darkness of recent events cast a sh...")

The Warden of Gilead declines, however, and he vacates the chamber, entering the foyer to start asking around with the guards to inquire about Karasu's appearance. "Excuse me," he says, inquiring with one posted not far from the doorway where he'd entered into the wider Temple. "Have yo...")

Perhaps the winter is trying to cling to the world, but time slips inevitably forward. Cold rain pours from thick grey clouds which obscure the heavens in turn. Wind howls as it is driven down the narrow streets between the market district and elsewhere. All in all the weather seems determined to make this a terrible day, but then... there are other reasons for that as well. A merchant down the street with a haul o...")

Karasu seems largely unconcerned with the blooms offered up by the various plants, but he stays close to Corey, and his dark eyes roam the gardens with a somewhat cautious air nonetheless. "It may be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but it is not a place that sets me at ease." Corey seems quite happy to be in t...")

The village of Ortheiad has a problem that can be boiled down to two puncture wounds on the neck on one body and three missing people, none of which have yet turned up. The only thing that the three missing people and the one found with puncture wounds have in common is that they're village residents--it's actually rather odd that there _aren't_ more connections between the four individuals, considering the size o...")
• 03:56, 7 March 2024 Aftershock talk contribs created page Body Guard (Created page with "The request on the Adventurer's Guild request board had been very clear, if not long-winded or terribly good on offering an explanation. The request was for a 'subtle' suite of body-guards for a local nobleman by the name of Augustus Alexandros. A well known individual of some wealth and fame. So the request for a body guard (or two, or three) isn't that surprising. Though most lords don't usually mind if their bodyguards are noticed or not. Either way, you have your or...")

Auranar would normally never be so rude, but she is beyond caring about something like social niceties. She knocks on the door, almost bruising her knuckles on the wood with her intent. Mentally her mind is half-frantic and driven to thoughtlessness. She's not sure if it's only been a few seconds or if she's been doing this for ten minutes. Maybe she should try breaking th...")

The sky is gray without the promise of any blue that the early days of spring might offer. No, the end of winter is holding onto the world, but it has lost its luster and beauty, giving way to only a faint sense of discontent. Soon there will be hope of warmth and cool rains to wash away this bitterness but today is not that day. The streets of Alexandria are largely empty, the weather...")
