[Private Plot] The Last War

[Quinsar]

In the world of Verenoth an explosion of technology has lead into a new age of peace. Or so everyone though. With the invention of guns groups of people began to believe that anything magic or gods could do, technology could do better. Over time they formed a small, technology based nation on a group of islands off the mainland. They called it Talia. Two years ago, a war started. Talian forces struck the mainland with great force, and left an unprepared populace easily defeated in their wake. Soon, the forces of the gods organized, and began to push them back. Today, the enemy stands almost defeated, huddled against weak barricades and trenches where this war began.

The players start here. This is there first battle of the war,a s they have just finished training. They're in the first mages brigade, under the service of Arashi, the blood god. They have light red robes, and anything they need for their low level spells.
Right now, they sit in a war room, a general going over maps of the battlefield.

[Viera Champion]

Leicia Frezant is there. She sighs, th people around her shivering from the aura of cold she lets off.

[Volug]

A little character backstory before I start... Not really backstory but... Blah, you'll see.

Spoiler

Show

Rurik Adleburn

A mage who has trained mostly in hexes and chaotic magic. He originally did so he could best any sort of mage he went up against. The magic he studied would eventually be quite affective against mages he went up against with his illusions and mind targeting spells. When the war came up, he still hasn't master much concerning it and only has recently focused more on illusions and chaotic magic.

Not one of high skill, but the path he's starting on could end to make him quite formidable.

He also has looked somewhat into acting, and tries to make witty comments on occasion. He fails formidably at this however.

Rurik will be sitting down if there is a place to sit. If he is forced to stand he'll be mumbling about how his feet hurt quietly. He'll listen and shutup once the general starts talking.

[Quinsar]

There's three hundred netted between this village an the beach they're hloled up on. In those two hundred meters ar pile and swords men are open to their fire. Your jobb will be to break open the front line of the enemies before we get there. Our intelligence indicates they have a secret weapon, so watch out for that.

This is it boys! We win this and we send them back to their money islands!
Report back to your party's dorms for supper.

[Volug]

Rurik will raise his eyes at the sound of a "secret weapon", his expression turns into a smile as he mentions supper. He hopes it's not mystery meat or any other nasties.

I also take it he and Leicia are in the same "party" right?

[Viera Champion]

Leicia nods.
Secret weapon huh?

[Quinsar]

They are in the same party! Party 4.
They're getting a new Partly leader today.
They're in bunk seven.


note on techology level of the enemy: In war they have developed guns capable of single shot, bolt action. No tanks, no machine guns, no planes. They do have shotguns.

[Volug]

Blunderbuss shotguns? :D

Rurik will step away from the meeting table and go to his dorm, one hand in his pocket.

[Viera Champion]

Leicia walks up beside him.

[Quinsar]

Sort of, yes.
They're room is a an old abandoned brothel. It's pry now. But there a nice beds, even if the lower levels are burnt.
Out front is standing a... New Mage. Probably their party leader.

[Volug]

Rurik will step up and offer the new mage a handshake.

Haven't seen you here yet, my name's Rurik.

He keeps up a slightly goofy smile.

[Quinsar]

He's a tall, Elven man. He has brown hair and green eye.
Judibg by thins on his uniform he's a first lieutenant, named Windal. He's a summoner.
Hello. I'm Windal, I'm the new squadleader. Nice to meet you.

[Volug]

The pleasure's mine. Is there... Going to be another meeting here before dinner? Duties? Or such?

I'm ah... Well I'm not sure what my specialization title would be. I've been getting into some hexes, illusion magic, and some chaotic ones as well.

[Viera Champion]

Leicia just frowns and looks at the new guy.

[Quinsar]

Just fod then sleep.
But we are..
Double bunking, a group of paladins* have occupied the top floor.
And you are?
He looks at Leicia.




*Paladins in this universe aren't holy warriors, they're special higly trained units of a certain god. THey can be mages, warriors, clerics, anything.

[Viera Champion]

Leicia. Ice Mage. People tell me my personality matches my powers.

[Volug]

Rurik will blink, twice.

Double bunking? I... Actually I don't think I'd sleep on the floor in this sort of place.

[Quinsar]

Yes. Now hurry in. I hear the chef is making grilled chicken and roast potatoes b

[Viera Champion]

She's a vegetarian. So she'll just eat da potatoes.

[Volug]

Rurik will have both, occasionally glancing up at random people in his "party".

Including Leicia, though it's only for a second

[Viera Champion]

Leicia forces a smile back at him.

[Quinsar]

They're both really good. The chef was nice ad made Leica a special salad.

[Volug]

That was a lot better then I was first expecting.

He's finished with his dinner.

[Viera Champion]

Leicia smiles for real this time.
I can always count on the chef.

[Quinsar]

The paladins ar eating nearby. They have steaks. And beer.

[Volug]

Rurik tries to not pay much attention to the paladins. He just... Doesn't want to bother with them right now. He'll stand up and go to the door.

If Leicia does at the same time, he'll offer his hand for a handshake and such.

[Viera Champion]

Leicia accepts the handshake, then heads over to the paladins, interested in them.

[Volug]

He almost opens his mouth to talk... Then sees her walk away... Oh well... He'll head to the dorms.

[Quinsar]

The paladins wear light red leather armor, and make a good deal of nois.

[Viera Champion]

She pulls up a chair and sits down silent.
