[Duke 2.0]

 Astor, being the wind made flesh, offers to scout ahead. It has been a long time before he has had the chance to really run, and having the opportunity would be refreshing. If he finds something interesting in relation to their goal, he will work his way back.

[inaluct]

Abronychus attempts to chill out as much as possible given the situation. He makes small talk, because everyone knows that pain doesn't hurt as much if you pretend it doesn't hurt at all.

Oh yeah, don't drop me in the well. Waterborne pathogens + punctured stomach + two conditions both giving (--) to actions, thereby probably preventing me from climbing out + mysterious grate that could have something horrible behind it = horrible death + contaminated water supply.

Next Turn:

Okay. Short one this time. I happily accept my weapon and shield back when they are handed to me, I give the brute a kick in the face just for good measure, swagger on back with everyone else to HQ, and depressingly take a bit of a rest while I try and heal my wounds to the best of my capabilitys, and accept help if its offered, as I'm no real medic. Just some bruises and scratches. The open wounds could use some cleaning and then wrapping if I can find the supplies. And I should also on my way, ask if the Old Man might be able to enchant another Amulet of healing, as they seem to be an Important thing to a pro-combat group. Were taking a pounding all the time, and we could use several of them.

Holy crap that wasn't short! Sorry...well you can always trim it down....

[Strife26]

I'll look aroun the cell for anything that could be used as a lockpick, while still trying to get a guard's attention.

[Golgath]

Since brute force isn't going to get me out of here, I'll try to convince the guards that I'm ill or some such fun thing in an attempt to get them to open up the cell...  Obviously, I'll wait for a chance to actually get out before I try to attack them or anything.  A dead guard won't be so great if I'm still in the cell and he has buddies outside.  If I can't get any guards to show up, I'll see if I can find a way to break off the lock from the inside of the cell.

Edit: If one of the other prisoners in the cells can come up with a better idea, I'll be happy to follow through with that.  Or maybe me and Strife working together will convince them to investigate.  If that's the case, I'll go with the feigning illness action, hopefully with Strife helping to convince them to at least take a look inside the cell...

Edit Edit: I'd also like to point out that you've done a good job towards capturing my character's general demeanor, Viaolis.  He isn't particularly social until he acknowledges someone as a friend.  If you want me to come up with a background for how he got into the prison, as well, I'd be happy to put something together; I've got access to a computer here, though I won't check in as often.

[WorkerDrone]

Hey guys. Here something that we just might not have been thinking of. In any of Vaiolis' turns where your in the cells, were any guards mentioned? And if they were, were they said to be, like, patroling around the cell area?

Think about it.

[Vaiolis]

My apologies for the lack of updates. As the New Year approaches, many plans came up. Specifically, a special comedy dinner, where you dress up and eat while spectating a fake wedding, and even converse with the fake newlyweds. Should prove interesting. But anyways, no update tonight. Tomorrow the odds are very bad. After that, they should improve though.

[Vlynndar]

Are those two spots in the title still open? If so, I'll take one of them. Need to write up something, then.
If not, I'll continue reading with pleasure.
Edit: And would being a human be very bad?

[Vaiolis]

We could use more diverse characters, but if you make a human and flesh them out decently it will be just as good. And yes, there are still two spots open!

[Vlynndar]

This would be the first roleplay I'm in, so I might be a bit worried about how well I can flesh it out. On the other hand, playing a not-human would seem even harder.
I think I'm just going ahead and write up a character. Tell me how to improve it, in case it's the worst you've seen.

Go ahead and post it, once you feel you've got the basics down.  I'll be happy to point out what could use improvement, and I'm sure Armok will be plenty happy to poke holes in whatever you have.  I'd personally prefer more non-humans, but like Vaiolis said, as long as it's a decent character, it'll be fine.

Spells: Maybe not quite a spell, but I think charisma is a good place for this?

Clothing: Bit loose sleeved shirt, under a leather vest with a lot of pockets. Sturdy canvas pants. A belt from which a lot of  pockets hang as well. (Naturally, also undergarments and shoes et cetera)

Items: (All: If allowed) A long flintlock pistol, with a supply of powder in a small sack on his belt and bullets (30) in another. In case he uses them all, he has a bullet mould with him. Tinderbox in a vest-pocket, as a compass. A watch in that small useless pocket on the pants. An allpurpose knife on his belt next to the pistol.

Background: Victorian. Funded by rich benefactors (there was something about him), he loves exploring the edges of science, the possible appliances of electricity and magnetism... Finding new materials and inventing new potions. He participated in the contest for finding a new material for poolballs, but didn't have too much succes. One of the more promising materials blew up in his hands, and he got some bad cuts from the glass. He occasionally practiced with his flintlock pistol and the exploding testtube inspired him to improve the material for use as gunpowder.

When he heard there was danger coming, his sense of adventure and the lure of finding new and strange things made him board.

[inaluct]

I think that's a pretty entertaining character, actually. The poolball material contest is a nice touch.

 I think I might write a background for my own character soon. 

[Vlynndar]

Thanks! Feels good to hear that. By the way, in case anyone wants to read about that contest: http://www.plastiquarian.com/hyatt.htm . Hint: Nitrocellulose soaked on cotton is guncotton, and is powdered suitable for use as gunpowder. It isn't very safe, though. In fact, exactly the coating on those poolballs occasionally exploded when struck. Too bad they only exist to be struck. '-'

Hang on, maybe I could be inspired by the exploding testtube, and research a safe variant of the stuff. Which in turn sparks me to practice with it, and pick up the pistol.
Could be a nice link.

[WorkerDrone]

I think I'm one of the few people with the 'mysterious character' trait, who managed to blend in with the group just like any other dude we have with us. Your guys don't know anything about my characters background, only that they know him. Its kinda funny how well we work together anyway though.
