The Story Begins
(Contains music link)
The brave has faced fear, just like the wise has faced all sorts of problems and learned from them. Now I'll tell you a story about a few individuals, a story about love, about friendship, about bravery, heroic deeds and epic battles, and I hope that when this story ends, you'll have learned that such tales as this is not all good. At some point in every epic story, the hero must face what often seems to be impossible challenges and sacrifice what he or she have dearest.
The story takes place in a world where magic is common, a world shared by many different races including the human race, a world that is still unexplored and where anything can happen. Now in this particular world we find ourselves in a small human village more precisely in the local inn. It's a quiet evening here in the inn, people are talking, drinking and eating. A few travellers seem to be visiting for the night. One of them is the bard who's playing a few melodies on his lute.

Introduction This RP will be run by me as a GM, this means that you'll be making the choices, and I will tell you what happens. I tell the story, you make it. The RP takes place in a fantasy world much like that of Dungeons & Dragons. This means that you may be able to play other races such as eg. elves, dwarves, gnomes etc.. I will not allow all races, but give me your idea for a character, and we'll figure something out. I do advice that you give your character some sort of class/profession, not that you'll have to decide whether it's a rogue or a barbarian, but in order to restrict yourself and prevent your character from being good at everything (that will just ruin the fun for your fellow RPers). If fx you want to be a bard, then you probably won't be very strong and tough, however you might be a charismatic magician who uses his/her instrument to channel magic. In this world magic works like a sort of energy, this energy flows within everything and with training one can learn how to control this energy, manipulate and transform it as one wishes. Some objects contain more magic than others, some magic items are created for a certain purpose, making them more than just containers of magic. Concentration is the key to the use of magic. If one was to slow down time, one would need to focus on speeding up their own body and mind, while also keeping their body intact, as such a spell would most likely cause severe damage to the body, if some factors were left unnoticed. This means that a person skilled in combat rather than magic, might just as well be able to handle a magician. At this moment I can't tell you much about the plot of this RP. I can only tell you, that you are some sort of an adventurer who just so happens to be visiting an inn this very evening. I do not know what your goal is, but I do know that you are looking forward to a good night's rest.

Summary Draxis, Jayrus, Trajedie, Air'gen vail and Myia had settled at an inn in Chesterwich. They were not the only adventurers who had decided to stay there for the night. As the night grew old the village fell under an attack by a hooded dark elf. He brought with him an army of animated amours. During the battle with the enemy, the dark elf transformed into or sort of hid inside a giant animated amour, put together by pieces of the smaller animated amoures. The dark elf was killed, his troops where destroyed, his staff was taken, and now it was up to the 5 adventurers to disspell the magic barrier that was still surrounding the village. By studying the dark elf's staff, they realised that the barrier was tied to an anchor that had to lie somewhere withing the middle of the barrier. They found it. It was a small red crystal formed like an egg with a copper ring around it. As a reward for the adventurers' help, they were allowed to take whatever they needed from the weaponhouse in Chesterwich, whatever they could find in the town's mage Michel's tower. They were also granted one day with free help from the town's blacksmith.

Air'gen vail spent her usual night at the inn, Which was her current residence and had been for the best part of a year. "Usual" she said to the bartender throwing a few coins at the bar. She had to get a job soon she was running out of money. She took her quite light alcohol and returned to her table and picked the half newspaper back up scanning for jobs "Ohh Michel" she said her eyes focused on the obituary. Michel was her friend around the town, an amateur mage died out on a job. Air'gen hit the table as she started to cry swearing loudly.

Air'gen vail
The newspaper is a week old, the new one should be arriving by tomorrow. It's a pictureless collection of parchments. There's some news about the nobles, news about crimes, but not a whole lot.
(( Anything specific you're looking for? ))

Korsu had just gotten his room in the inn he was staying at. He tossed his belongings onto his bed, unclipped his cloak and settled it on the back of a chair, leaving his scimitar on his belt. Moving back to his belongings he unwrapped his breastplate and frowned at the dents in it. He shook his head as he covered it up in the cloth again and moved, checking his supplies. After time passed he was sitting on his bed, thinking of the best way to go about getting more supplies and fixing his breastplate and shield. Finally, he stood up and left his room, making sure it was locked behind him. Moving down to the innkeeper, he got his attention and asked, "Hey innkeeper, Is there a good blacksmith in this village? Or any near here?"

Korsu
The innkeeper looked up at Korsu "Yes there is one just across the street from here, but he is closed for the evening. Anything else I can do for you?"

Korsu thought for a moment before nodding his head and saying, "If you could, I'd like to know at around what time the blacksmith opens, and also if you happen to know a good place that sells relatively good and cheap rations?"
