In the land of Karma. A green plague grows... (still!)
A evil stretches reaching further and further looking to consume all. Orc’s are what Aerth calls these monsters. Created by the Elves of Blador, orcs have been a nightmare to all since the second magic war. The world of Aerth is in peril not just from these foul beings. It's just they are the most apparent threat to the general population of Karma and Restag.![JPEG_20191003_101239.png JPEG_20191003_101239.png](https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/628/628953-803c2c16a940d803b7144897f8b4caf1.jpg)
It's hard to worry about where darkspawn comes from or why islands are falling from the sky when a squad of orcs might raid your home, kill your kids, rape your wife, mock you for their success before putting your head on their armour or weapon as a decorative piece.
It's safe to say everyone hates and fears the Orcs. Strange enough or perhaps lucky. When four God sent souls arrived in Fieful it was Darkspawn that proved their first trial. A small horde led by a number of screaming winged spawn attacked the town killing two champions from the gods and many civilians and guards. When the attack was fought off by the brave souls a curious thing was noticed by members of the Hunters guild...
Randolf's weapon somehow absorbed or learnt ice mana from the spells casted by a mysterious Orc slaying snow elf.
Elyse's God given gun had done the same thing with her mana.
When Shiki attempted to take the God given gun from the slain Elyse he was unable to, Kan however was able to snatch it up.
Jacks God given staff evaporated as it touched the ground, falling from the corpse's grasp before Kan's greedy hand could take it.
With result of one associate lost and two 'hero' recruits gained Shiki paid for Kholis to be buried in Fieful with a proper ceremony. The God sent didn't have to attend if they so wished. Kan chose not to stating very bland...
"I don't like funerals"
Before walking off to drink and smoke with the townsfolk who celebrated his effort. No real battle plan was had when it all boils down to it.
Randolf and Kan were just lucky their weapons had a drastic effect on the creatures. With Kan taking down the first winged creature followed by Randolf and then Shiki. The two God sent made it look easy where as the guild master had to teleport and stab a number of times before even downing the winged Darkspawn.
Nevertheless. A month has past since that night, the first two weeks were rough as both Randolf and Kan travelled with the guild to fort stronghold. Located at the top of the mountains dividing Karma from Restag...
![tumblr_ngnd91q0tH1u1jfb3o1_r4_1280.jpg tumblr_ngnd91q0tH1u1jfb3o1_r4_1280.jpg](https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/628/628993-8a54e62d9a3105f6028cd2fb4e5ff60b.jpg)
The two learn the basics of their weapons and combat as well as the land they walked. The creatures and enemies that lurk as well as some common knowledge of Karma.
The two soon found the confidence from slaying Darkspawn shaken with the first meeting of orcs. Despite the warning given by shiki " you two stay together! Watch for archers don't run out in the open!"
Kan rushed from cover to pummel a orc his size, leaving Randolf alone Kan gained the net profit of two arrows in his back from a orc archer.
Luckily for him... Shiki and Phor are able to put down the hiding orcs, and with great strain and annoyance Shiki teleported the party to fort stronghold...
The rest of the month was spent training with and getting acquainted with other members and people of the guild. Durseam would usually oversee the two performing simple tasks and quests. The main objective in these quests was for the two new recruits to understand riding a mount. Horse, bird or lizard. (As the guild currently has five of each.)
((horses being a waste of mana for Shiki as they cannot scale the mountain as easily as other mounts.))
The most current quest was relevant to the horses as it is a quest issued by the guildmaster himself.
"....gonna build a tavern that's also a outpost for supplies and the horses, I want some of you to help build as well as guard the workers I hired yesterday. When I checked up on them last night they said Orcs and Gorgons could be heard. Makes sense orc parties would pass over the mountains to Restag but mentions of Gorgons is surprising."
The Spider, Bear, Elf, and illusionist dwarf were out on quests of sorts so Shiki was putting a bit of low-key pressure on the newer guild members currently in Fort Stronghold.
"I mean it's not trial worthy but it's important. I'm sending Phor as well..."
The guildmaster dropped Phors name knowing his yet to be named second in command would take this mission. Not that it's a order, just that Shiki is needed for a job in Restag and upkeep of fifteen animals on top of a mountain is unsustainable. Moving the horses helps lighten the load on everyone working in the fort. (The main idea was to have a warp stone in the somewhere in the fort linked to one at the foot of the mountain but finding such stones proved harder then originally thought.)
"I don't think it's right to send the newest recruits alone even if they have God given weapons and powers. It's only been a proper month of them wielding said weapons and Kan has a dam problem of not knowing the time and place to enjoy himself!!"
Kan had learned to change the shape of his pipe the first week walking, and when he was shown Aerths various plants, dusts and drinks he became a very different person. High functioning addict would be the description of him but somehow he has successfully completed any task given albeit a few "fuck ups"
Consisting of scaring away prey and alerting enemy orcs to their presence with that damn flint.
He can fight physically and use that club well. His skill with mana steadily grows each day.
Not to overlook Randolf and his God given glavie. The two from the heavens are somewhat putting truth to legends.
Shiki raised his voice as he gave a glare at Kan who was drinking in the morning and munching on bread. God given pipe shrunk down to fit in his front pocket with the stolen God given gun at his side in a holster. (the quartermaster had crafted it for him)
Shiki looked towards Fel trying to muster the charming smile that wins over most it's shown to. "so can I count on Fel helping out too with guard duty? Say yes please I have errands to run"
Kan ignored the guildmaster poking fun at his habits, it seemed everything he has said and taught was useful. While modern Earth wrestling and boxing is good for a fight...
Actual combat requires, tactics, information, mana is important to, that's how you survive on Aerth.
The Hunters Guild and those living in the fort were worth adhering to. It felt like being a teenager in school again except people younger then him explained shit like.
"Only mount a Runner (lizard) from the right hand side"
And
"A horned wolf's sense of smell can pick up your scent from huge distances, that's why wind direction matters"
Or
"Yea a cloud of poison won't scare or hurt slime... Some orc's are immune as well. Not just that, I've seen fireproof orcs."
Finishing his breakfast and the bottle of wine Kan laughed heartily in a attempt to mimic Shiki.
"I'm up for a tavern close to home. That and a chance to shoot a orc. Would love to headshot a orc"
"you don't get a choice, you and Ran are being ORDERED to guard. I'd normally have you target practice but as you two can't hold normal weapons you can only hunt with what you've got. Thank the gods you have a pistol to share."
"I won't."

Your characters are being forced on this quest, they can accept it or be shitty about it before being forced to accept aha I promise the rp can be more open in regards to choices and outcomes but the first arc is a bit of a tutorial for us to get used to how we write as well as you guys to do some combat/skill attempts.
As we used to roll dice to determine success this time it's more just how you write a action that determines success. I'd get into more but it's midnight lol
Hope you like the first post, makes sense etc
Post order like always is 1 2 then you. 1 2 3 you if more join
