![]() No sailing goes smoothly, and coming around the volcanic isle aptly named Ashen a sudden storm blew down off one of the fiery mountains and wrecked havoc among the fleet. The worst damaged ships limped south to Kobalt Island, anchoring in Torm’s Bay and the whaling outpost known as Bangston to repair the shattered masts and brimstone scarred sails. Waylaid for several weeks by as parties travel to the inland settlements to find the proper lumber, the crews and passengers of the ships Nina, Pinta, and Juan Sanchez soon grow restless. When the Duke’s thirteenth (and illegitimate) daughter Jelenne finally gathers you together, you’re only all too eager to go tromping off with her to the feet of the looming mountains looking for any sort of excitement. Ostensibly the Naturalist aboard the Juan Sanchez, the noblewoman has heard rumors that one of the goblin settlements in the foothills has uncovered some ruins that might date back to the Elven Kingdom that once flourished on Kobalt. |

![]() The goblin settlements being some two days by foot from Bangston, you set out early in the morning. The unnaturally blue eyed Jelenne leads the way, the goblin grumbling in the rear as the noble woman has seen fit to dump her pack on him. The woman is mostly silent at first, but as the whaling village and its scent is left behind she becomes more chipper. "I know what you're probably thinking, why did I pick you three? And the answer is of course because many hands make light work, and Corellon will smile brighter on us brothers and sisters in his worship if we stick together," she smiles, then then lifts her chin towards the goblin and lowers her voice. "And him because I don't speak any goblin, and he's the least smelly I could find among my father's vassals." "But you two, swarthy L'Shondra and wise Darius, what homes did you leave and why have you set sail for new lands?" Answer her as you will, but if you guys want to help world build some and make up some place or story from back home and give me the barest hint of plot hook for your characters it would be nice. Also ask any questions of Jelenne or each other that you'd like. Unless you changed your minds about the role playing more part and want to dive right into some fighty bits. But the world is mostly blank, and the old world especially blank, so help paint it in a little? |

"Thank you for asking fair lady Jelenne. I grew up with all the comforts and safety in the beautiful Fey Wild. However, as I grew into my young self; I felt the call of Corellon. He spoke to me; saying I could best serve him and my Fey kind by traveling to the dirty natural world and winning glory in his name. And so I left after graduating from the famed Royal War Mage University and threw my lot in with your Lord Father. May Corellon Bless us, and our loyal Goblin Sherpa, on this day". |

"Oh but the world isn't so dirty..." Jelenne starts, only to be interrupt by a dull booming from the north, and casting your gaze out across the water on the horizon you can see one of Ashen's volcanoes spewing soot and fire into the sky, a dark, roiling cloud already hung low over the northern ocean. The girl sighs, "Perhaps it is messy at times... oooh Azure Leaf!" she exclaims, darting over to a patch of vegetation nestled under a nearby outcrop of rock. Felix sighs and a noble spectacled bear appears at his side, rushing over with surprising quickness to pounce and squash the bush just before Jelenne reaches it. "Oh you nasty thing! I'll have the quartermaster give you a drubbing when we get back," she scowls. "Its not azure leaf, its southern itch weed you nitwit," the goblin retorts, then after a moments pause adds, "And if you're going to grumbling about goblins, do it in Elven!" Jelenne immediately slips into the tongue of the fair folk. "I really hope the goblins we're going to see aren't so surly. L'Shondra, how did you come by Correlon's star to guide you?" Darius notices something! Ooooh secrets. Hopefully that takes you to your forum inbox Josh, this board theme actually looks like it will be kind of shitty for passing secret information around the way the private message functions are hidden away but we'll see. |

"what a rude little goblin! However, with such a noble spirit companion, perhaps his intentions were good". (now in Elven): "But yes, goblins are such nasty things!" "L'shondra, why are you so mute my dear?" |

(sorry, was busy getting engaged, didn't mean to ignore you guys) "I have been silent until now as I was trying to think how best to answer your question. You see, my past is as tangled a web as Lolth has ever spun. As a Drow on the surface I have had to contend with what seems, to me at least, an unfair predetermined opinion of those such as myself." "But I have to admit that the majority of my fellow Drow are more than deserving of the black reputation they have. For myself I have worked long and hard to shed the image of an untrustworthy and deceiving dark elf and have tried instead to stand as a shining example of Corellon's teachings." "Ultimately I seek a place where I can represent the better qualities of my race and that I might find new people who will accept me as I am instead of what they falsely perceive." |

(Congrats David, that is awesome! You and Sarah are great together. When/where is the wedding? And more importantly, the bachelor party? And I assume you are in Vermont now?) |

(Vermont in about a week and a half. The wedding won't be for a while. There will be a lot of notice. Honestly, no sooner than two years, more like 3. We're in no real rush. And yeah, there will be a wedding in Vermont, something small, then something here in Hawaii. But still, thats way in the future.) |

(Wizards are so annoying! No more power switches! The actual rules are every time you level up you're allowed to switch up one power and one feat, so if you change your mind again wait till level 2!) |

(sorry, ok, no more switching for now. But I didn't know that I could change them when I level up. That helps a lot. Thanks!) |

(You have lightning and strands.) Idle chit chat dispensed with, our brave heroes continue merrily along. Making it through the night with little excitement, the party reaches the foothills the next day, moving towards the little shanty town set up against the base of a butte leaving a large face of worn volcanic rock exposed. Layed out around the collection of shacks and lean-tos are haphazard plots of farmland, home to some bedraggled little crops and some just long, weedy expanses of clumsily plowed earth. A few goblin heads pop up from their toil, a couple soon making a mad dash to the homes so that when the group arrives a little greeting party of five males is out front waiting, doing their best to stand tall and look officious in rags and caked with dirt and mud. The wind shifts then and you all get a good whiff of what a goblin village smells like, Jelenne pulling her collar up to press over her nose and mouth as she motions Felix to the front. “Go, go parlay with them and find out about the ruins.” The druid grumbles, unshouldering his pack and hers and steps forward, addressing the farmers in Goblin, the five cocking their heads aside and then looking at each other and bursting into laughter. The apparent leader says something back in a mocking tone, Felix turning back to the group and explaining, “… they’re bumpkins. They think my accent is hysterical.” “Oy, it shore iz innit? Aye bet he done wipes his arse with gulden flees an’ brushes hes toofies e’ry week!” one of the other goblins calls out, earning laughs from the other four. “And they speak common, so have at it elves!” Felix snorts, moving back to his bear and belongings. “Now wot be you pretty birdies be doin’ out here all the way to see us? Yur little gobo not man enough for three? Nae worry elfies I can sort you all out!” the leader calls over, patting the front of his ragged trousers in obscene fashion. Mortified and starting to blush, Jelenne glances over to L’Shondra and Darius and motions for them to speak to the rude little gits. Edited by demiurge_klaus, Jul 6 2013, 08:27 AM.

Darius strides forward in front of Jelenne and pulls out his Rod (his actual rod, not his cock). "listen you nasty little things; since you insist on being rude, you have 2 options here:" "One: show us where the ancient ruins are and we might let you live". "Two: we kick your asses and then make the last one alive show us where the ruins are" |

"In th' ihvory tower they don't teach no manners and no humili'ee neither? You gots quite the mouth on you fer a tresspasser Missy!" the leader says waggling a grubby finger at Darius, not seeming terribly put out at being threatened by tallfolk. "An' you lot ain't got nae need ta go rootin' about in the dusty darks, we's already looted out the goodies and sold 'em off to the gits off yonder last moonth," he finishes waving a hand off towards Bangston where you came from. |

Darius turns to his companions: "I don't think these guys are going to be much help" "what do you suggest we do about your cousins, Felix?" |

"If the ruins have already been picked clean then I don't suppose you'd mind us taking a look around? As you can easily tell we are not from these parts. We've sailed a long way from the North to explore the wonders of this land. If you would kindly show us the way to these ruins we would be much obliged. Though it seems that you goblins are quite the capable looking lot perhaps we could, in return, aid you in some way?" |
