I WILL UPDATE THE THREAD AND PROVIDE A SCENE TRANSITION TONIGHT.

Note- Van [and other guys] I'm pretty sure no one actually calls the Demiplane of Dread ''Ravenloft.'' That's just the TSR name for the product line.

In the game universe
, it [ the Demiplane] is commonly referred to as ''The Land'', ''The World'', ''Earth'',etc. Most of the natives are unaware of the existence of other worlds/planes of existence, except in the contxet of mythology.

'Ravenloft' is just an old castle in the County of Barovia- an impoverished backwater realm of little importance to the world outside its borders
Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

Ok sorry Ewan, I'll edit my post. But since Inovidil is a wizard and from Faerun knows that actually exist more planes.

I'll just say that they were from a demiplane without saying the actual name.

Makes sense. As a fairly knwoledgable and high level wizard, she might well have ascertained that 'Ravenloft' is a sort of half-world or demiplane. She wouldn't know what darklords are, how powers' checks worked, or anything about the Dark powers [ not that anybody does know much about them.] Sghe would know anything she learned in Raf's game, of course.... :twisted:

I have just updated the scene. I am going with most of you signing up, and Shana being there for moral support. That seems to be what y'all were aiming at, yes?

If anyone wishes for his PC to be elsewhere, let me know and I will edit or add a new scene for you. Splitting the scene is no trouble for me.

Nothing personal Jason, just Ino is chaotic and doesn't like leaders etc.

For me Archedius can be the leader since he is the most experienced.

Archedius is assuming that by taking the position of 'leader' he can take responsibility for any mistakes made. His personality is colouring his perception of what consequences could occur (he's a negative person 8) ).

If Shana has any questions for Rask, post them in IC [or here in OOC if the thread moves past that secene- I'll still answer up to five questions.

The rest of you guys- if you are all agreed on the leader [Jonathon and Ironheart will agree to Archideus getting the job], then someone may post knocking on the door and being called into the office. Watch Captain Rask will see yiou guys righta away, if you are ready to go.

After the meeting, Archedius will be attempting to collect a significant amount of rust to coat a cheap dagger with to cause disease in what he wounds. This is for just in case.

He does ask some questions, of course. It's just that Shana's friends didn't take very long deciding who would be the leader, so the conversation was cut short.

EDIT- TO YOU OTHER GUYS:

The knocking on the door is one of your team [Jamethon Moorkroft if not one of the PCs]. Expect an update soon [possibly later tonight].

Much to Shana's relief...

ARchedius rardi is much in accord with your assessment of Inovidil. As for supplies she will accompany you.

ACtually she would tell you theres a spell called Protection from arows or sometjhing like that ;)

Works great- until ballista start being aimed at you- or if composite bows are used.
