AVB - Silvanus

[planswalker]

"Sure thing. Left wing, section 7 has the history and information on current events in many nearby cities."

[TechnOkami]

Could you report your response please? I can't see it.

[TechnOkami]

Could you report your response please? I can't see it.

Nevermind.

Silvanus walks to that section, and takes a gander at the various volumes and texts in front of him.

Also, could you change the thread name to Silvanus please? I find saying his name with the I rather than the Y is easier, and it irks me the name the other way. Thanks.

[planswalker]

the local history of the town of Redfort, Harrenal, The Drogues, and Wimberly Vale is arrayed before you in a number of volumes arranged by both date and subject.

[TechnOkami]

What are the subjects?

[planswalker]

a dozen or so topics ranging from population data to criminal reports.

[TechnOkami]

Silvanus will pull out two books, both on locations and areas around the world, except on two different timeframes. The first will be in the most recent time and the other will be in the fledgling years of Aldhaven (around when it was created).

Specifically, he will search for information on cities of both the past and the current, taking a look at where they were and where they ate now, fallen cities, new fledgling cities, ect.

[planswalker]

One is a book on Wimberly Vale describing its history as an independent city-state and the war that caused it to fall into vassalage with the emergent empire based in Aldhaven.

The other is an account of major events in Redfort in the past 5 years.

[TechnOkami]

Read my edit on the above post please.

okay, I read it, but I'm not sure exactly what sort of books you're expecting to find. General history books?

[TechnOkami]

Um, fluffwise, I think history books will work. Also, more specifically: what cities are there which are no longer mentioned in current history, and is there any particular historical places involving Druids?

[planswalker]

There is one volume called "The Rise and Fall of the Dead Cities."

[TechnOkami]

Silvanus puts the other two books back, pulls that book off the shelf, and begins reading.

[planswalker]

It seems that there have been dozens of cities in the past few centuries that have come and gone, some conquered and razed, others taken over and re-named, and a few that lie abandoned, crumbling ruins that all are claimed to be haunted.

[TechnOkami]

Silvanus searches for one such dead-but-haunted-supposedly city near Aldhaven.

[planswalker]

The nearest one was called Croatia. It was abandoned fifty years ago, and none know quite why.

Silvanus, with the book, will walk up to the librarian and say, "May I have ink and paper to write something please?"

[planswalker]

"Of course. We charge 5 copper a page, discounted due to city subsidy."

Ok, I will be silent for a while because I've been using my phone, and getting onto/changing things on mythweavers is really annoying when using a smartphone, so once I get onto my laptop, I'll respond IC.

the pc who posted the reward is ready to meet you if you'd like to fast forward to that part of the day. If you'd like, we can then rewind to the library once more.

since he's one of the other dm's (monodominatnt), he'll be rp'ing his pc in this thread to save time, enabling you to get started faster.

1.) Which PC?

2.) That sounds fine. Exploring Croatia will be something on Silvanus' list of things to do. Also, I could have sworn I typed this, but apparently I didn't: he will write down it's approximate direction from Aldhaven, and where it's location would be on a map (as well as any geological features of note in the area).

who exactly he is is a mystery, but he's monodominant's dmpc.

You do so. By the time you are finished researching things and writing them down, it's time to meet the orange-haired man.

OH! Ok. ...I thought you said that mission was full though. ...maybe I shouldnt if they all just got killed off o-O

With what he needs written wrote down, Silvanus shall thank the librarian once more, and will make his way down to the Drowned Mermaid for a meeting with the Ginger. He will walk into the facility, and walk to a vacant corner of the tavern. Then he will view who is in, looking especially out for a red haired gentleman.

the orange-haired fellow you decided to meet is a different mission from the cat.

Such a red haired gentleman is indeed present.

And Monodominant wants to stress out that his character was being a cool kid before he was DM!

:D

The young man is approximately 5'5 and 120 pounds. He has wild bright orange hair, frekles all over his face and a calm smile. He is dressed in fine quality travellers clothes though nothing amazing. You can spot a fair amount of masterwork quality items about his person that would probably indicate magical gear and he wears a long sword which is now resting close to his left hand as it leans on the table.

He is alone and seems to have been just finishing a rather rich meal.

As you approach he looks up to you raising an eyebrow but then shrugs and gets up to greet you.

"Oh hello! Are you answering my ad? Thats wonderful! My name is Ishmael but you can call me Ish!" he says pleasantly as he extends his gloved hand.

Two GM's in a single IC chat thread at once? I feel somewhat honored.

What is standing before you is a man-shaped... well, tree. It has discernable joints, unlike your stereotypical treant, yet retains such qualities as leafy branches growing from it's forearms shoulders, and head, as well as feet more reminiscent of gnarled tree stumps.

The tree-man will take his own, four fingered hand, and respond to your offer with a nice, firm handshake. In a slow, but articulate voice he says, "Indeed I am. My name is Silvanus. Just, Silvanus." As you shake his hand, you can almost feel the extent of the masterful craftsmanship about his wooden fingers, contrasted by the fact that roots are growing out of the seams etched into it.

After release from the handshake, Silvanus takes a seat.

[Monodominant]

The man does seem impressed by your ... well... existence and he has to stop himself from getting distracted as a leaf or two move about as you sit.

"Well then... err... would you like something to drink or eat? I admit I dont know how that... er... works but I can order something for you, my treat!" he says excitedly.

"But lets get down to business. I will tell you two things about me Sylvanus before we continue. If those are okay with you then we can work together. So here goes. Firstly I am very paranoid... it means you will have to abide with my weird sense of logic some times and accept my crazy ideas as they are..." he pauses to see if you are following.

"The second is... I am not a really good person. But more importantly the people I am against are REALLY BAD people... If you are interested in helping a paranoid not so nice person against a large group fo really nasty REALLY evil people we can work together you and I!" he says his voice lowering significantly.

I know, but hey, it's cool to me.

"Water would be nice, thank you."

Silvanus listens to what you say, and responds as thus. "You mispronounced my name. It starts with a Sil, not a Syl. About your personal traits... I am not particularly fond of them, but I do not mind them. Now... I have a question for you. Despite their being evil, what exactly is their relationship to you?"

[Monodominant]

Ishmael motions to the bartender to bring over a couple of glasses of water over.

"Sorry Silvanus, I made a mistake. So, these people, they are my mortal enemies... actually they are enemies of the city and of all the good people that live in it..."
