Annargel RP

Greetings,

I am holding an RP set in the icy northlands. The Annargel RP is based in and around a lone, but wealthy, trading city on the southern tip of a far-north continent. The players currently enrolled are Alexian and Tiger Cub (and soon: Anouri). To give all of you who may have some interest a summary of the occurances in the 4 chapters that have taken place:

Chapter 1: The Coming Curse

Nansir (Alexian) awakes and finds himself on a trading boat. He left his town after it burned down to start anew in the city of Annargel. He docks and goes about his business attempting to get a job. He finds one and must cut branches of wood for a new type of Quick Arrow (thanks TDO :wink: ). He encounters gnolls in the woods north of Annargel and quickly dispatches them, taking a ruby ring off of one of the bodies. Upon return, he meets a rather cute cleric girl and recieves healing. This is where he meets a monk named Lonoto (Tiger Cub). As they speak... the earth shakes... and the citizens of the town are called to a meeting in the center of town and asked to take up arms and defend the town from impending doom. They all rally for the defense of their precious Annargel.

Chapter 2: Blood Will Fall

The melee force is arranged in a block formation in front of the north gate of the city while archers line the city wall. The Dark Mage appears out of the forest, alone. After a little bit, the mage hurls a bone hundreds of yards, landing in front of Nansir (Alexian). The bone twists and contorts under the mage's magical dweomer and from it arises one of the gnolls he had felled earlier. It walks into the center of the block of fighters... and explodes, annihilating 20 combatsmen and injuring many others. It is then when the mage calls forth his army of undead. They arise and a battle is innitiated. From the fallen soldiers, more zombies arise. After a very long and strenuous battle, the forces of necromancy begin to gain the upper hand and drive the militia force back into the town. Not before Nansir (Alexian) is greatly wounded, coming close to death - being saved only by a greater healing spell from his field cleric friend :wink: The cleric, however, is met with ill fate and is hurled 40 feet away by a zombie...

Chapter 3: A White Horizon

Nansir (Alexian) and Lonoto (Tiger Cub) make it back into the city safely after retrieving the wounded cleric. They bring her back to a small shop where they attempt to patch her wounds. While they do this, the dark mage calls forth more undead forces - archers. Fiery arrows rain down on the city, catching buildings... and people... on fire. The ground rumbles some more and out from the earth emerges a very massive horned dennizen. This evil summon begins tearing up a large portion of the city. The two characters flee for their lives to a temple on the opposite end of town. The temple seems untouched while everything else around it is obliterated. They enter and find in the main room 4 elderly clerics in white robes positioned around an altar. They don't move despite valiant efforts on the parts of the characters. Above the altar is a small, floating, radiating, yellow orb of light which gradually increases in size. As the ball grows, it also rises higher into the room... until it explodes, submerging the characters in a deep, white void.

Chapter 4: Memory-soaked Sunset

Nansir (Alexian) wakes up again in a cabin of yet another ship. However, this one is very different. He exits into the hall and questions the deckhand concerning his whereabouts. The deckhand laughs uneasilly and shrugs him off as being slightly intoxicated. However, Nansir (Alexian) doesn't give up. He talks with the captain who is very chummy with him... almost as if they've known eachother for quite some time. He gets the treatment of an important businessman... someone with a lot of money. It is about that time when he discovers he has 500 gold pieces on his person. He tells the captain that he has bumped his head and retreats to the front of the ship, staring out into the water. He waits... and waits... the sun begins to set and a hand is placed on the lower back of Nansir (Alexian). He turns and stares into the eyes of a beautiful woman who is very friendly in talking to him. She tells him that she has been waiting in their cabin for him to return and that she told him to wait for her. Nansir (Alexian) smiles and tells her he will be with her shortly. He removes a ring from his pocket... encrested into it is a small ruby... the one he picked up off of the gnoll. He turns and stares back into the setting sun, half-sunk into the horizon. The ship will be docking at Annargel in a couple of days...
