Having to smell like monster bile for a week for the entertainment of your peers sounds like a pretty legitimate reason to put in that resignation notice in all honesty.Lol! I can imagine the veterans have rituals like that. And also place bets on how long it’ll take rookies to quit etc.
I can't tell if he's a veteran of the guild or an indebted hostage.
Poor Callan!
I hit it right on the money! He's in debt!~ Honestly Callan seems like a really compelling character and I'm super interested to get to know about him.
If you’d like to add a post for your antagonists on the lore page, feel free.
Well, welcome back too. You were Bar Bing Bar, right? I'm really glad I picked this roleplay to start with.
Well there's always the post mission reaction. Might be even more priceless of a reaction if everything went fubar
Yeah I was had to back away because rp was going to fast for my comparatively slow posting cycle
Half dead person returning with the Lady's beloved dog... which is also likely to be half dead if Morgana has her way.
I think that fits well with the theme. I've been trying to read more of the history and lore from threads as well, but I like the idea of the wall creating a stratification of the monsters in the north. Like, the larger they are, the more potent the magical runes are, the further north they have to stay.
Ooo! I like the trapped component. That seems like a solid side plot. What happened to the Grixin folk who didnt believe in the threat foretold when ordered to leave the north towards the safety of the wall 1000 years ago? Well... Something bad, of course!I like the idea that the wall may be under threat by something other than the ravages of time and a negligent King.
Other than being a source of monsters for our Hunters, I haven’t really dictated what could be found in the Wild Lands.
Perhaps the history books are wrong, or Herne went bad and plans to reclaim the North? Maybe there were people trapped on the other side who have changed over time to become a threat? Or (in true Monster Hunter fashion) a huge migration of monsters could be on the way (including a Big‘un), and the Hunter’s have to save the South from impending doom. Perhaps old King Baylin knew what was coming, but didn’t know when? The Hunters could even get political if they seek an audience with the King and ask him to fix his wall.
The possibilities are endless really.
I see it as kind of a behind-the-scenes thing. People don't necessarily have to be involved in stopping the impending Big'un corruption, for example (just ideas). Might not be involved at all, really. But it could lead to added flair in other hunts. Like "Hmm, the monsters seem to be getting more restless lately." "Why is a herd of big guys this far south? well, guess we better get rid of em." etc or it could just be like the multiverse and it really only affects people when they go on "hunts" with Zath.I personally like the idea of there being an overarching plot or two. As to what exactly those will be, especially if it ends up coopting hunts made by other players, would largely be up to those players whose hunts are involved + the GM. From what I've seen so far, the number of players, along with the likelihood that there will be many quests with a litany of plots, plans and endings, doesn't lend itself terribly well to the idea of any one comprehensive plot in such a story where the world building and storytelling is really a collective effort (in other words, the more toes involved, the easier it is to step on someone else's even without meaning to... and there's kind of a lot of toes in this case), but with a little teamwork, I wouldn't be surprised at what could be achieved especially if people give a nod, ahead of time, where they want those quests to take us. That's just my input, though; Again, it'll largely be up to those particular players heading the quests to decide whether or not they want their quests to be involved, (in the case of Oghma's Ruins, it'd be @FloofWhispers) and the penultimate goals of the GM (Genii ).
Genii
, on a Hunt with the idea for the overarching plot I'd be pursuing with the participants and we can give it a whirl from there?
I totally understand. Once we split into parts, it slowed a bit. Or perhaps it was just easier to deal with only a few at a time.
DualDragons
has been a slower poster (I've been worried about him feeling left out.) But he was still able to transform and tip the tide with our beastie.
Genii
, don't forget to update the veterans/rookies post--I've been correcting my original post on page 34.
