"Why do you wish to join us? ... No, don't answer. That you're here is answer enough. We only ask that you help guard the caravan, keep it safe from bandits and other perils of the road if you can. And don't ask too many questions. Everyone here has their own secrets, and if you don't ask about ours, we won't ask for yours. . ."

Just a simple caravan, though the stories inside are so incredulous you'd be hard pressed to find a more entertaining tale. The best and worst of human nature can be revealed during travel and travel we do. So come aboard and sit by the fire and weave a new story with us.

This thread is for miscellaneous content.

We started our journey in the Phronwood. The Blue Caravan and subsequent Slave Traders stopped to rest for the night before heading off into the mountains. In the middle of the night, bandits attacked! It was a mess in the darkness, and as a result of the battle, many died. One bandit stole a wagon with a lady inside of it. One Slave Trader gave away the position of our princess in order to save his own life, and one woman was discovered wandering about after the battle. All four were taken hostage, while a lone injured bandit was taken by the caravan.

On the bandit's side, one assassin dared to defy his leader and killed them, making him the new bandit leader. The second Slave Trader is currently hunting for her partner with limited success. The caravan struggles to continue through the mountain range, damaged and missing its most precious cargo. Will they recover their bounty quickly, or will it be yet another wild goose chase?!

Positions:
Blue Caravan - Trekking slowly through the Racluear mountain range.
Slave caravan - Following the Blue Caravan.
Bandits - In a vast, secret mountain cave.

Five people are being held captive by bandits: Justine Duberry, Charlotte, Amir Malik, Aria and Norah Vis.

Jeroh - The new bandit leader is conversing with the captured.
Sailiern and Sarafina - Having a confrontation of their own somewhere in the mountains close to the bandit base.

Caravan Leader - Catching up with his wagons, with bandit Selina in tow.

Guards: Casey, Cale and Mella are still close to the caravan. Nesa is accompanying them.

Slaves: Thanh, Will, and Panyin forced to sit inside of a dirty slave wagon for fear of death.

Updated March 17th, 2010

There have been a multitude of escapes since the last update.
1. Selena, the bandit, escaped from Athelstan's care.
2. Charlotte, the princess, escaped from the care of the bandit Jeroh.
3. Thanh, Will, Panyin, and Sailiern have escaped from the slavers.

The slavers have finally been reunited, only to find that their precious cargo has escaped.

Aria and Justine seek the help of a bounty hunter to find the princess and provide protection.

Casey and Mella meet in a tavern.

Nesa and Selene, traveler and bandit, together at last! Find temporary peace inside of a (different?) tavern.

Introducing new character, Ebosia, dealer of mysterious contraptions.

---------------
Updated March 29th, 2010

Introducing...

Krios and Sterling, Priests of the Mother.
Lady Avaya and Benedict, Nobles of Shahrazad.
Abel and Yumi, Hunters of the Bounty!
Magnus, Devout Artemist and Traveler.
Yufi, Trusted Guard to the Princess.

As of now, the Red Moon Tavern houses a great deal of our characters.
-First, the escaped slaves, Thanh and Will, lead by Panyin. They find shelter in a room at the Inn, while their fellow fugitive, Saileern, goes to procure supplies in the city.

-Second, the Priests, Krios and Sterling sit in the Tavern to have a drink, with a quest of their own to fulfill.

-Third, Casey and a rather uncomfortable Mella discuss recent happenings.

-Fourth, Magnus sits to read his scriptures and awaits the opportunity to join the Blue Caravan's ranks.

Ebosia, a mysterious (and glowy) merchant sells her fish in the shopping district. Her audience consists of a wide-eyed Nesa, a curious Karlisle, and a silent Lileil.

Slave traders Amir and Sarafina have an argument about the loss of their slaves and split up. Sarafina's goal is hiring some extra hands to help with their journey, and Amir goes just outside the city to wash the slaves that are left, to prepare them for sale.

Aria and Justine, after a failed attempt to hire a bodyguard, attempt to relax at a local bath house. They are in more danger than they think they are...

The bandit leader Jeroh laments the loss of the noble promised to him by the slave trader and attempts to better know the prisoner that still remains with him, Norah.

Meanwhile, in the light of the rising sun, the high and mighty Lady Avaya traverses the city in her carriage.

This entry is in memoriam of our lost members..
Anidori Hale, former caravan guard.
Suhad bint Moswen, former traveler.
Carmen Black, former guard to the princess.
Ferrin Wolfenstein, former scientist.
Lazlo Triumph, former bounty hunter.
Kaien Amlen, former bounty hunter.
Lovella Badeau, former traveler.
Ailbhe Ruaidhri, former bandit.
Crina Spirlea, former traveler.

Updated April 29th, 2010

On the way, though, we picked up several new victims!
Welcome..
Leroy Patrov, newest addition tot he caravan guard.
Desdemona Patenaude, secretive and witchy slaver.
Mohini Yattam, merchant of medicines and potions.
Vivi Lumina, the notorious Madame Red and caravan guard.
Misha Stone, mysterious and elusive bounty hunter.

Since the last update, many things have changed. The Red Moon Tavern is no more. It was burnt down by the vengeful Amir Malik, drawing all of our members out of the tavern and into the street, where many of them reconvene with each other, save for a few unfortunate souls. Thanh is captured once again by his former Master, but Will finds protection in the Artemist Sterling Summersong. Aria, the Seer, finds herself also captured by the slavers for daring to speak of their true names in public.

Krios injured himself in the rescue effort of fleeing citizens, but was healed by yet another wandering Artemist, Magnus. Abel joins the two with enthusiasm, but his companion, Avaya has other plans in mind. Nesa had been caught in the thick of the conflict but managed to escape just in time, fortunate to avoid capture and join the others under the watchful eye of Auschthler, the optimistic caravan leader. Panyin, unable to keep watch over both children, finds herself unsure of what to do.

The disguised princess Liadan, despite her great ordeal has found Abel and Krios and the others. Finally, safety for her. A third slaver appeared in the midst, stalking, waiting for prey.

Meanwhile, the slavers have succeeded in their hunt and find their caravan complete again, with three new guards and five new slaves, including Aria. They set off again into the city, but are halted by Amir's overwhelming need to smoke. They stop in the square beside the merchants Ebosia and Mohini. Just in time, Karlisle is able to lead Lileil away from those same merchants. Running toward them is Vivi, the caravan guard, pursued by guards for stealing an apple and giving it to a child.

Since we last left, off we've waved off several more characters and wish them luck on their journeys!

Fare thee well..
Casey Ashter, brave caravan knight!
Justine DuBarry, Princess' faithful maid until death.
Yumi Samar, bubblehead bounty hunter.
Annabel Reese, slave trader ex-trainee.
Charlotte Anne Soleil, former Princess.
Cale Harshal, lady of the Wolves.
Mella Soferna, valiant guard of the Caravan.
Norah Vis, traveler and prisoner.
Jeroh Evran, former bandit leader.
Benedict Octavius, spoiled rich boy.
Evadne Devereaux, former bandit.

Chapter 1: Silence Before the Storm

Some seasoned travelers spread rumors about the Phronwood, which is a thicket of trees at the eastern edge of the Westerwood and at the razor-toothed mouth of Racluear. “The screams during the night are those not made by humans; there are real monsters in those parts,” They say, to which many would respond, “’Tis better to travel there than through Bethryl, where the cliffs swallow up their victims and the lake is ruled by demons.” That being said, Albrind is a dangerous place to live. Those who brave her terrain successfully are admired and renowned for their bravery. Others prefer to simply stay in their towns and cities to live until they die, safe in their own beds.

It is not those careful, blasé individuals that we speak of when referring to the Blue Caravan, though. These men and women are unique in their personalities, abilities, and motivations. They’ve all come from different backgrounds and different stories, but they all share one common trait: They’re a part of, are travelling beside, or will someday come in contact with the Caravan. Whether it’s in the razor-sharp mountains of Racluear, the snarling, twisted forests of the Westerwood, or the choking sand of the Thahbufir, the Caravan will serve as a safe haven for travelers both young and old and a potential gold mine for desperate bandits.

The Blue Caravan’s story begins in the Phronwood, where the sun, once hidden by the tallest trees of the Westerwood has finally decided to beam down on the lake separating those last trees and the dreaded Racluear Mountains. After the grueling trek through the forest, the Caravan leader has decided to stop at that very lake for the night to rest and replenish the morale of his fellow travelers. Behind the Blue Caravan is another mysterious trio of wagons, headed by a strange man with even stranger business in mind.

In tow, the Caravan also carries a special guest: The Princess of Albrind. No one, save for the Caravan leader and her guards know of the title that this illustrious girl carries, only that she is of some sort of noble lineage. Before the girl was forced to marry, she somehow convinced her parents to allow her to experience one final journey around Albrind, to experience the world outside before being confined to the castle to serve her country alongside a husband whom she may have never seen before.

Now, the sun is setting and the sky glows a brilliant mix of oranges and purples without an intruding cloud in sight, save for the ones at the very tops of the mountains in the distance. The legions of wagons have parked themselves around the lake, and a campfire serves as a small remedy to the chilly mountain winds. It is a time of rest that may not be seen for yet weeks or a month, at most. The Caravan leader sits at the watch, eyes peeled for any disturbances, eyes weary from travel, but unable to rest.
