Greatings good people of the Guild.

I know that it doesn't seem like much at first glance, but I hide levels of intrigue over other levels.

Though you wouldn't know it to read the opening, this is a highly supernatural story. It includes Demons, Vampires, a Cult, and a Fallen God, misleading his followers. Those who are willing to participate, will likely be rewarded by an interesting storyline.

What follows is a story that takes place in the most northern region of Gni-Hula Warick, a local of my design.

STORY
The Green Dragon Inn.

Its the only Inn in the converted Garrison town of Dargon. While not the nicest tavern, it is the only one within a days travel, which makes it a rather popular one in the region.

It snows the majority of the year, but recently a bizarre series of weather events have raised concern, coupled with the recent disappearance of many residence of the area.

Captain Gerard Havicson, current keeper of Dargon Garrison has recently sent out word, looking for a group to find the reason for the missing people, and the reason for the odd weather.

All citizens from her country are required between the ages of 16 and 21 to enter the army for two years so that they will be prepared if their country ever needs them.

Player Name:Dae Dae

Character Name: Zywynran
Race:Half Elf/Human
Age: 56
Height: 6'0
Abilities: A trained bard, illusionist and all around thespian.
Brief Description: Zywynran's waist length hair is stark white and almost ruler straight. He often adorns it with trinkets such as beads, bells or ribbons to draw attention to himself. His complexion is almost as pale as his hair and his eyes are a glacial blue. His smooth skin and youthful appearance belie his age. He owns a multitude of colorful, festive clothing and is very rarely seen in anything plain. His build is very slim, leaning toward his elven heritage. Hidden upon his person are a collection of throwing knives and two small daggers. He openly wears a very large, curved dagger. It is a bit gaudy and ornamental, but still serviceable.
Personality: Zywynran is a chameleon, a man of many faces. His personality is often transient, molding itself to whatever mood or fancy takes him. Few people have known him long enough to sense a pattern, but those few would describe him as playful, outspoken and without boundaries.
Brief History: Zywynran was born Zywyn to an elven mother by the name of Eilvia who had the misfortune of falling in love with a human adventurer. Their romance did not last long, but in that time she had become pregnant. Ignoring the wishes of her people, who were somewhat disdainful of the mixed blood child, Eilvia doted upon her son and insisted to him that he was anyone's equal. She taught him, among other things, to play several instruments, perform small cantrips and illusions, to sing and to dance. By the time he was twenty years old he had mastered these things, his human eagerness to learn outweighing the more slow and steady pace of his peers.
Eventually Eilvia ventured among humans with her son, hoping he could embrace both sides of his heritage. The boy's father had unfortunately died, but he had an uncle who appeared glad to take the boy in.
Zywyn's uncle was a pig farmer; he was used to hard, dirty work and frowned upon his nephew's dainty hands and delicate sensibilities. Within the first year he became loud and abusive with Zywyn and so it was little surprise that the youth often ventured away from the farm whenever he could leave unseen. He tried to placate his uncle with funds gained performing, but was still scorned.
Scorn begat hatred and before long Zywyn found himself beaten, bound and up for sale like so much meat. His uncle had claimed he was a thief and as Zywyn had no rights among the people or even an advocate, there was no chance of changing his fate. So instead he accepted this new change and embraced it. He added ran, or 'shackled', to his name and quickly learned obedience.
His new master was a rich man with many slaves; Zywnran stood out from the rest with his talents. He performed unsolicited and won the interest of his captor. In time, this earned him certain freedoms. He was allowed to correspond with his mother and to more or less go freely so long as he always returned within a given time. He even visited his mother at times, though he always had to urge her to do nothing. Zywynran had no desire to bring his mother into conflict; he was bought and paid for and he knew it would not be so simple to change that.
This was life for Zywynran until the year he became fifty three years old. After thirty two years as property, his master passed on leaving instructions that Zywynran should be set free. With little else to do, and having realized that besides his mother there was nothing for him among the elves, Zywynran began a life as a traveling performer. It has been a life well suited to him and while he owns little besides his beautiful clothing and instruments, he is known far and wide which usually results in him never having to pay for much.

Player Name: Elesariin

*Character Name: Raelise Auriilon
*Race: Elf
*Age: 102
*Height: 5'8"
*Abilities: As is expected for one trained in an elven court, she is a ridiculously good shot with a longbow; she can shoot with deadly accuracy even in those rare situations where her elven eyes cannot pierce the darkness. She is also eerily fast and agile, just as skilled at hand to hand and swordplay as she is at shooting. She is one of those unbelievably graceful fighters that somehow makes her movements look like art as she kills you.
*Brief Description: She is as slender and delicate-looking as any of her kind, but has the same liquid, sinewy grace as a cat. As a result, she somehow does not look fragile; she looks like a predator angel. The figure is lovely enough, though her curves can by no means be considered generous. The pin-straight, pale-blonde hair reaches her waist, but is usually caught up in a practical braid. Her skin is, of course, as pale and flawless as a porcelain doll's, with the exception of a long, thin, but obviously serious scar that runs from the base of her neck to halfway down her back. Her face is a smooth oval; her features are delicate, even, and classically beautiful, but her ice-blue, almond eyes are constantly watchful and suspicious.

Her current style of dress is not elven, or even remotely flattering. She wears a worn white shirt under an old, much abused brown tunic. Simple, dark brown leggings cover her legs, and boots of worn but serviceable leather take care of her feet. She has her sword-- one of elven make-- at her hip, along with a more mundane dagger; an elven bow and a quiver of arrows are on her back. All of this is covered with an easily removable, hooded cloak, less for keeping out the cold and more for staying unnoticed until she's taken stock of things.
*Personality: Very cautious, very quiet. Unlike most elves, there is no singing when she has a moment to herself, and she doesn't chatter to her companions. She flinches when people touch her without warning, and smiles even more rarely than she speaks.
*Brief History: She was born into one of the major elven courts to important nobles, and grew up as a perfectly normal elven child, except for the fact that she was, perhaps, a little more curious than most. She left to explore the world when she was still only a child, brimming with adventurous spirit and the certainty that all of creation would open for her.

She practically crawled back into the city that was her home a little more than five years ago, half starved, covered with bruises, and with an eerie, haunted look in her wide eyes. A deep, horrible wound ran down her back.

Her elven brethren healed her body completely, with the exception of the wound on her back (which, of course, caused much consternation. If elven magic could not heal her, what exactly had she gotten cut with?), but her mind was another story. She hardly spoke, even to her close family, and would not speak of what had happened to her at all. As soon as she was physically able, she left the city and began wandering around as a sword for hire.

Player Name: Kirakay
Character Name: KaRina
Race: Snow Kitsune
Age: 10
Height: 3’10”
Abilities: Incredible control over wind has been the result of timeless training of conjuring and control over the element manipulating it to her bidding.
Brief Description: KaRina is a very beautiful young girl. She is very tiny; her body looks fragile and delicate almost like a procaine doll that should be kept behind glass. Like a procaine doll KaRina’s skin has a milky white complexion that seems to almost have a glow about it. Surround her face snowy white hair that gently sways when she walks with large white fox hidden on top of her head. Weighting only 52 pounds she is much smaller than a normal child her age. Covering her body is a long white dress with a small hole in the back for her fluffy white tail to fit through. The only thing that sticks out is her eyes that are soft and gentle looking into ones soul seeing their truths. There is no pupil, the iris of them is a dark blue and taking the place of the white sclera is a light blue outer surrounding that blinds together with the darker inside. On her forehead a sapphire jewel sits just above her eyebrow that glows faintly when she uses her magic. Lips are painted a light pink as well as a light pink blush on her cheeks so it looks like she is always blushing slightly.
Personality: KaRina is the essence of pure innocence. Sweet and gentle, she does everything physically possible to help others, sometimes even risking her own life to do so. She sees the truth in people, knowing their true form and who they really are, weather good or evil no matter how well they try to hide it. Extremely trusting she believes everyone should be given a chance, her ideas sometimes getting her in over her head and into trouble. However she some how manages to wiggle her way out of it using her cunning fox like senses and intellect. Protecting and guiding to those around her she tries to lead them to the future. Caring about everyone and everything she has the mindset that everyone, can be saved and maybe someday see the errors of their ways and do great good. Just like any kid she is extremely childish and playful, always goofing off and messing around trying to bring out the innocence in people even if they don’t believe they have any left. She is however wise beyond her years, her insight seems vast and wide almost like she sees things long before it ever happens some things though she would never tell.
Brief History: Born to the woods to a father that was unknown KaRina’s mother was an escaped slave determined to make her daughters life better than her own. At the age of five KaRina’s mother fell in love with a human noble who took them both in and raised her as his own. Not long after KaRina’s mother gave birth to twin boys; unfortunately it exhausted her so much she was unable to recover and passed soon after. Though she loved her adoptive father to death and even though he never treated her any different than his two sons she felt he did not understand her. When all the kidnappings began, her brothers where the first to disappear two small children only four years of age didn’t stand a chance in the world, KaRina felt it was her place to find them. Though her father had wealth on his side KaRina had something he didn’t, the cunning of her race. Searching for them desperately she is afraid that if anything where to happen to them all memory of her mother would be lost forever.

Cast NPC
Updated as new Characters are introduced

Name: Captain Gerard Havicson
Race: Human
Age: 48
Height: 6'0"
Description: Obviously middle age, Balding with gray hair. While his wrinkled Weathered skin, deep tan, and stern face tell you he is a warrior, he is rather skinny.
Personality: Serious, but friendly. He his an honest man, hard working, but obviously not from a town as small as this originally.
History: In fact, he is stationed here from the much larger town of Menson. He thinks the that the Erfo'Deha Military is putting him away as he grows older. He has lived through many campaigns as a leader, but never as the star. He is unimportant, according to the people, because they don't know his name. He is a stunning leader, however, and the soldiers, and citizens in the area love him as the current Knight Captain.

Name: Darren McFluast
Race: Dwarf
Age: 178
Haight: 4'5"
Description: What is most striking about this dwarf, is that he is relatively fat, for a dwarf, and that he has the most full head of hair. Instead of being brushed back, it sticks up at all odd angles, looking like something just exploded in front of him.
Personality: Probably the most welcoming person in Dargon, Darren is more akin to an elf than to a dwarf. He is always smiling, and always laughing his deep barrel laugh. He enjoys nothing more than a good joke and story.
History: Darren owns the Green Dragon Inn. He purchased it with the gold that he earned stealing from Dragon's Hoards. Even though he doesn't look it, he is an experienced thief.

Your Arrival

The blizzard rages around you. The cold, the biting cold, numbs your arms and legs, freezing you. How the locals survive out in this weather is beyond you. But even worse than the cold, is the sound. The unnatural sound, the wailing, chills you more than the weather itself. It chills deep into you, into the bone, grinding them to dust . . .

You realize that you are just grinding your teeth, the sound of which fights to drown out the wailing winds.

You put your hand out in front of you, on the door of the Green Dragon Inn, after traveling all day, you've finally arrived. Warmth permeates from the door, returning feeling to your fingers. You open the door and the sound of the wind is drowned out by the sound of voices, clinking glasses and the roar of the fire in the hearth. You step into the room, and allow the warmth to chase the chill from your body . . .

Zywynran silently cursed whatever flight of fancy had led him to think he might like to visit Dargon. It was true he had not yet been here, but there was good reason for that. Said good reason was now freezing him to the bone despite the layers he wore under a bright, emerald green cloak. At least he was not on foot, Zywynran thought with relief. He hardly could travel on foot; how would he bring along his trunk of fripperies, not to mention his instruments! And so he sat in a horse drawn cart, feet mercifully dry albeit bitterly cold. But worse than even the cold, damp snow that seemed to drift right into his clothing was the wailing, that constant wailing he could neither comprehend nor simply ignore. It would surely drive him mad!

Determined that this mysterious sound would not be the end of him, Zywynran took a shaking breath of frozen air, forced his jaw to unclench and began to sing with as much gusto as he could in this lung seizing cold. He sang a merry song, a dancing tune to keep his feet tapping and his blood flowing. The Green Dragon Inn was not much further now, he could see it!

Would he really join in the investigation? It was not normally the sort of thing he would do. But Dargon was no place he had ever been and singing for his supper may well be out of the question. He did have considerable skill with the blades on his person, though he was certain he fell short of being a professional. Would they even have him? Well, there was one way to find out, he reasoned as he finally approached the inn. First seeing to the care of his conveyance and belongings, Zywynran then reaches the door, extends a hand stiff and cold within its fur lined glove, and opens it.

Ah, just to step within made the world such a different place! Much brighter, and filled with warmth! Sound, color and life suddenly returned to a bleak and snow filled world. Zywynran felt so taken with joy that he immediately threw off his cloak with a flourish, laughed loudly and began to dance. It was so good to feel the warmth slowly seeping into his body; were it not so public a place he might bare more of himself to this wonderful sensation. Not that he was by any means modest. It simply served no purpose of his to be promptly thrown out again.
PostPosted: Wed Dec 03, 2008 1:50 pm


As Hope stepped into the inn she stomped her feet and brushed off the snow. She was determined not to deal with anything till she had warmed up and had a beer. Make that a whiskey. Then a beer. She was COLD. She headed straight for the bar, took the whiskey in one shot, ordered a beer, and then weaved her way threw the throng to the fire. She stood in front of it, soaking in the heat and sipping her beer.

‘Good grief,’ she wondered, ‘where do all these people come from? Do they live in the walls? Don’t they know that normal people should be home on a night like this?’ Thinking about the night made her shudder. Maybe they had the right idea. Being with other people felt good, safer. Something was just wrong out there. She couldn’t explain it. It looked like an ordinary night in this region. But deep inside her it just felt so creepy. Out there.

Hope wondered over to the notice board as she thawed out. Hmm, this was interesting. She didn’t really need to find a job just yet, but better to get one before you need it than when you are desperate. Besides, 10,000 gold was nothing to scoff at. She made her way back to the barman, “Excuse me, good man, I’d like a room for the night and directions to the Dargon outpost in the morning. I’m seeking Sir Gerard Havicson.”

Darren McFlaust, a wide dwarf with a kind face and the most amazing hairstyle, looked up at Hope and smiled a wide smile. "Well, but the looks of you, I'd say of course you are." He eyes the dancing Half-Elf. "Well, I'm sure that he will show up soon, why don't you let me get you something that will warm you up a little faster in the meantime. Mead, on the house." He pours a glass and sets in on the counter in front of Hope. He yells across the room at the dancing Half Elf. "You, in the colorful outfit!" He laughs a deep hearty laugh. "I'd like a moment to speak with you if you would?"

During this time, another man walked into the tavern, a large man, his face hidden behind a cloak. He looked around the room for a moment, and then found a corner in the room that was empty. He sat down and stared toward the fire.
