Fantasy Gates of Tirath - Sword & Planet Adventure [OOC]

[Revi]

would it be ok for me to still post my reply? i meant to give it only a week for everyone else to post their things and i was gonna ask for clarification earlier, but stuff picked up the week immediately after. a little new to *this* type of rp etiquette, so im still gonna ask to be sure.
also, the image that i uploaded for kee's design really uploaded really bothered me since it looks very... off and unlike them, so whenever i had free time, i drew them. so i have an unfinished drawing of kee in my laptop and also on my applied linguistics notes (made it suffer with me). if anyone wants to see, lmk

Since your reply would be to those of us in the field already - I think you're fine to post again! If you'd prefer to wait for rotations, that works for me as well .

 

[RaiAthar]

I'm still here. Kashim is half-a-day away, so gonna hang back for a few cycles.

 

[jokeater]

posted - i believe game over music is appropriate for kee with how things are going, lmao

Hello everyone!

I've been reading over the RP so far, backstory, lore, characters, etc and I'm really excited about the prospect of joining in. This looks like the start of a really great story. The setting is super cool!

I suppose this is mostly a question for Revi , but I was wondering if it would be of interest to you if I play a short-term antagonist. Kind of like a 'first boss' in a video game. Someone who is threatening but defeated early on. I have a few ideas spinning around and would like to start in Reomel. If so, I'd love to take you up on your offer to play some NPCs.

Happy writing, all!

 

[Revi]

Helloo Helloo TheHumanFloyd ! ~

Oooh color me intrigued, yeah I'd be keen to see where you go with that! Would add some tension early on, raise the stakes of threat and danger. Feel free to brain storm here or direct message, whatever you're most comfortable with -- I only took a core of themes/ideas from the source materials as an homage to it, so I'm happy to have us build something together here.

 

[TheHumanFloyd]

Awesome! I will send you a message ASAP.

 

[Revi]

Happy weekend to those who are ending the work week. More brain power inbound tomorrow.

 

[Ayama]

My hell period should be over tomorrow night so, 'long as things go according to plan, I'm hoping to have that post done by Sunday~

 

[Ayama]

Okay, things did not go according to plan, but I have been making good progress. Two questions: how long would you say the journey is on foot from Dorn to Reomel, and what information is there available on Reomel?

 

[Revi]

Ayama - Reomel is definitely more village than hamlet, and there's no actual source for this one, so I placed it there as an agricultural village. Mainly fields and some animals. Since it's at the base of the highlands, it would have some good groundwater and runoffs from the mountainous areas nearby.

I actually found a pretty cool table to use for determining travel times that would work for this situation, and got a scale bar added to the detailed map. (Inkarnate - Create Fantasy Maps Online)
On foot - any bags or supplies, any horse? And I'm going to assume using the known roads (which would avoid risks of temporal distortion spots).

It's 50 Km or 31 miles away.
On Foot - Carrying any Packs/Supplies:
Walking - 15.5 Hours
Fast Walk - 10.5 Hours
Forced March - 7 Hours
Running - 4 hours

On Foot - no supply pack:
Walking - 12.5 Hours
Fast Walk - 8.25 Hours
Forced March - 5.5 Hours
Running - 3.25 Hours.

Also, you're perfectly fine!

 

[Ayama]

Intro post is almost done!

Revi TheHumanFloyd What do y'all think about Eden meeting up with Uzziah first rather than Morgaine? He could convince her to go after the Qujal witch (him 'cause he's tryna protect Reomel, and her 'cause she thinks it'll get her riches/power) and fight at his side in the first battle and then, realizing what's what, join up on the side of the party after boss fight #1.

 

[TheHumanFloyd]

I personally think that's a great idea, Ayama!

 

[RaiAthar]

My plan is to have Kashim make his appearance not long after the conflict between the two parties begin.

 

[Revi]

Yesssssssss

 

[Ayama]

Okay, that took an eternity but it's finally up! Hope the lore I wrote in for Dorn Keep is okay- I kinda struggled with it a bit ^^" And I named the two stops on the way Ayrith (hamlet) and Tamworth (village).

 

[Revi]

Huzzaaahh!! All good on lore, this is meant to be fun - no stressing.

 

[RaiAthar]

jokeater you still with us, bro? Asking cause haven't heard from you in a while.

 

[Revi]

Checking in to see how everyone's doing?

Still ok to proceed?
Or anyone needing to step out?

hi sorry, a lot of personal stuff went down (im preparing to move overseas and had a bit of a breakdown in the midst of it). its going to get hectic very soon for me, but i will try to be more diligent in the midst of it. apologies for my sudden and unannounced absence

im ok to continue if youll still have me, i can start drafting something until then

 

[Revi]

No worries at all, glad to hear from you jokeater ! You're fine, and take your time.

 

[jokeater]

its up, its a little on the shorter side but its more dialogue heavy so i felt it needs a little space for response first

 

[Revi]

I love Kee haha.

 

[Ayama]

Looks like Eden isn't gonna need much convincing to join Uzziah in the first fight against the party after all ;P

Hope everyone's having a good holiday season~

 

[Revi]

Ooohh boy o.o;;


Hope you are as well!!
