some of the advice given to me i have taken from Jakk. its like a LotR type story. powerful artifact that is sought after by a powerful evil lord, and some everday people get thrown into the mix, and they have to destroy it...
theres a little town around 2 hundred miles east of Great Forks. this humble little town, named Liten Landsby. it is governed by a man named Glans Bringe. this town is a simple little town. the "mayor" worked for the guild and was a studying to be a Scavenger Lord. he gave up that dream, after he realized there was a more physical aspect to the life of a scavenger lord. he still had his wealth of first age lore and learned how to speak several different languages, and how to interact with spirits. after settling in this town, he was soon made the mayor. he needed to find a better way to protect this town other than the local gathering of farmers with pitch forks. he hired a mercenary company, and pays them monthly to protect his town. he even struck a deal with them, making his town their HQ if Glans built a small Garrison if the mercenaries made them pay less. to keep the income of his money, he helps guild merchants identify items they beleive to be first age items. there is also a lion dog who is a friend of Glans, protecting the town, after the old are it protected was taken down in a violent storm.
after Glans' last travel to work, there arrives three people passing through. one is clad in dark purple and crimson red robes, carrying a large, 6-foot wrapped item on his back. one openly shows his huge body, standing a large, 6 foot tall, ashen grey hair. and soulsteel articulated plate with a Grand Goremaul strapped to his back.the other is a normal, average sized person, with decaying flesh displaying seemingly over his entire body. he wears a reinforced breastplate of the same material as his large friend. he has a soulsteel powerbow in his hand and wicked thick arrows in his quiver.they arrive in town looking for a place to stay. thier leader, the heavily robed woman, arrives at the little towns small in. they demand free rooms, or there will be dire consequences. glans and about 5 of themercenary soldiers and the lion dog arrive at the inn after they hear of what happened. the innkeeper is hiding in the farthest reaches of the bar. he's trembling in fear and mumbling under his breath. the woman turns to see the men coming. they talk, Glans knowing exactly who they are and what they can do, agrees completely to free rooms and free service. he even offers some of his steeds as long as they are returned. everything is settled and Glans is feeling uneasy that his town is now harboring abyssals for the night. he wakes in the morning to find that several of his mercanaries are missing, and a farmer, and that the captain of the mercenaries is gathering his men, all one hundred of them. he walks outside and finds the three abyssals walking out of the inn, laughing at the whole scene. after a long argument between the captain and the three, Glans and the lion dog walk into the back of the inn to find that it is a bloody mess. there had to of been some kind of death ritual he did not know of going on. he was angry, at himself and the three, that these men took advantage of his forced kindness. after taking this all in, he starts to seethe with anger and walks out behind the three. he slips his knife out from his shoe and lifts it to stab the closest one in the neck. the lion dog acts along and attacks the robed women. this is when glans exalts. in his time of need, revenge, and sorrow, he exalts. the attack ensues. (the actual battle will be played out)
after the death of the three, they take all their valuables and burn the bodies. it takes six men to life the large man, six to carry the wrapped item and another six to carry the grand goremaul. (others will probably exalt during the battle, depending on thier situation). they open the wrapped item, and fear strikes deep into Glans as soon as he lays his eyes on it. it is the infamous Soul Mirror. it seemed as if they had stopped the abyssals from taking it to their deathlord, after it had been lost for so very long. they decide to leave the town, put a new captain in charge (that is if the PC who is the captain Exalts), and leave the Lion dog as protector of the twon and leader for the time being.
this is just the opening of the story of what i have going, but please, critique it and tell me where some could be better, fixed up, advice.
