Elementry: Turn 14: Stop Punching The Stag
« on: March 15, 2014, 12:33:12 am »

Elementry
You are the top six graduates of Sin-Lan, the premiere (and only) magical academy anywhere in the known world. Raw magic is everywhere, and those with the talent are numerous. But raw skill means nothing, and even the most talented raw magician falls like chaff before those trained to control their power.
The chancellor feels strongly that youth is the time to experience the world, and like every graduate of Sin-Lan before you, you prepare to see what lies beyond the walls of Sin-Lan for the first time. Before you lies an adventure of a thousand branches the likes of which few have ever seen and even fewer have survived.

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

All the character sheets look fine so far (although it would be nice if you colored your colors the color you want them to be).

Xant: You can't reserve a spot since it really only takes like 30 seconds pick a name, color and two elements.

Excellent, that's everyone then.
Except Xantlos. Neither rock or space are elements.  :-\

EDIT: Might as well start the game, since Xants element choices aren't going to have any effect for a few turns (at the very soonest).

Turn 0: Some words with the Chancellor
The ancient chancellor opens his mouth, and words like sandpaper come rasping out, “Congratulations of your graduation, but as I am sure has been drilled into your head by now, what you have learned so far is just the foundation of your knowledge. Without true knowledge of the world your thatamgurgic reach is limited. Without the necessity borne of the risk of death, you cannot reach your true potential. Without knowing the chaos that outside of our sanctuary you cannot know the value of what lies within. Without knowledge of yourself, you can never truly understand the elements. And perhaps most importantly, you all really need to get laid.”
After laughing for a few moments, the chancellor starts to speak again, “Each of you has potential equal to any of the graduate in the past twenty years, and in light of that something a little more challenging then what the other do is in store for you. All of these options are somewhat time sensitive, so to save you months of trekking only to discover them gone, I will personally teleport all of you to whichever location you chose as a group.

To the west a war is brewing between the wild men of the trackless steppes and the Free Cities of Naz-ghan. To be brutally honest, I don’t particularly care what happens. Even if their new Khan manages to unite the wild men and destroy the Free Cities, there isn’t any chance of them harming us in any significant way.  But this is one of the best chances you have for experiencing combat in a major army and the only chance you will ever get to fight alongside orcs.

In the distant east one of our mages has requested a team of six archmagi to help him investigate what he is sure is the tomb of MYRTA for the fifth time this century. Like the four times before, it’s just going to end up being some small fragment of artifact or a crystallized spell, so I’m not going to send any actual archmagi. It’s almost certainly just some goblins in a cave sitting around worshiping some crystallized spell or artifact fragment. But if you go, you can probably manage to extort some artifacts out of our mage there in return for your help.

In the far north lies the Grand Bazaar. It is said that anything can be bought there, but everything is forbidden. In the desert lie things long buried, but sleeping shallowly. There is an elemental imbalance in the desert, a free rift vomiting itself out into the sands.  I suspect we have centuries yet before it wakes begins to wake the things slumbering in the desert. But if you do close it, you will gain more understanding of the balance between elemental forces.

And as you are well aware, the south is off limits, the very best that could happen is that you die quickly in the snow.”

“Oh, and I almost forgot. You each get one item for graduating; your choices are on the table over there. If you have any questions, now is the time to ask them.”

What item will you pick? Where do you want to go?

"A query, sir; you stated that each of the options is time sensitive. However, you also stated that the rift will likely not do anything for centuries. Should we infer from this that if we do not select that location, you will assign the task for someone else, and if so, could we request additional time before such an assignment is made, allowing us to perform one of the other tasks first and then head to that location?
Also, I request a Cloak."

Russ takes a Mage Stone, and then makes a general gesture eastwards.

Ven picks up an elemental seed, making it dance across his fingers, then flings it up into the air and swallows it.
-Orcs! Excellent!
A slightly deranged smile crosses his face, but he hides it behind a hand.
