Just to give a heads up - I'm switching to using 'you' now - the intro was simply in third person because it made sense to me that way. You know, like how in some games they start with a panoramic and then zoom in to your character and then whoosh - it's you. Or something like that. Anyway...

You sigh softly, standing upright and stretching a bit.
“Too many memories in this place. Too many memories.” you say quietly as you approach the counter.
“Hey old man, anyone else comes in, give ‘em a round on me. Just put it on my tab."
The keeper says nothing, but nods, acknowledging the gesture. You turn about and head outside, pushing open the noisy wooden door only enough to fit through, as if trying to keep something inside of the building. It shuts behind you with a long, loud *creeaaaak* as if giving some kind of drawn-out farewell.
An ashen-smelling breeze blows through the streets outside. You jog to the east wall, stopping when you reach the spot where its shadow encompasses much of the street below. You could take the nearby stairs to the battlements if you were so inclined. The guards normally stop common citizens from going up there, but if you run into a guard, they'd probably be too busy to stop anyone - especially someone who carries a weapon and already looks so much like a soldier.

"What's next for you then, Harold?" Tarik questions, swilling the dregs of ambrosia around in the bottom of his glass. "You thinking o'gettin outta here? After all this time?"

"I'm an old, old man, Tarik. Where the hell d'ye think I'd run? Nowhere to run anyway, they're on both sides a Chermanshire. They'll smash and burn it like a nest 'o puny insects. Hornets maybe, but hornets can only dodge so much wizardflame and artillery before they die like the poor bastards that are up on those walls.

I'm gonna die here. Always knew I was gonna die here. I thought it could be from a madman, or a drunken mage, or even, hah, from 'overindulgence in spirits'. But now I know I'll be a bloody gods-damned casualty just because my homeland was,"


(he takes a moment to cough sickeningly and spit up a few drops of blood)

"...in the way. Imagine that, dead and gone because you were an old man, in the way. Annette wouldn't want me to to go like this..." he mumbles.

Harold stares down into his mug of liquor and starts to shake. You can't tell if he's starting to cry or it's just his cough acting up again.

He takes a sidelong glance at the Thundercracker blunderbuss and seems to reach a grim decision, then looks back at you. "Times like these, a man's gotta make a decision about his own fate, whether he lives or perishes. No kings'll tell 'im what to do in the Afterworld..." he croaks, then reaches for the weapon.



Harold's made a choice. But what is it?

The actions being posted are for roll 3, right? And the battle begins in roll 5 or 6?

I'm guessing so. Everyone needs a chance to place themselves, and then we can begin with the action.

Also, I'm unsure of when to introduce my fairy, because I don't know what the general populace would think of a fairy following someone around. How would they react in this world? Would it be totally attention-drawing, or somewhat odd, or not even worth a mention? I'd appreciate it Caek could answer that, being the story director person 'round here.

I'm running with this, and I'm going to in introduce my fairy in roll 5/6 when the battle begins.

Speaking of that; caek: Do the Magi use any kind of artillery magic, say like, fire mortars? :3

I should have given my character a magic bucket of refilling water.

When you decide to introduce your tech fairy is at your discretion, it would be somewhat odd, but there are NPCs who have tech fairies themselves, like Lord Robert, who has a tech fairy.

Yes, the magi circle on the top of the Spire will be acting like artillery, but so will the Olvitium army be using magical artillery.

Think fire balls, ice shards, magical shockwaves, etc but on a larger scale.

Tarik nods, placing a large hand on Harolds shoulder.
[u]" "

Lost for words instead he checks his Slugg is still strapped to his belt and takes the magsteel pole from the doorway as he exits out into the town. As the clouds gather in the opposite skies he feels a tremor of unease, mumbling to himself he takes a look around the streets. [/u]


(eyeing expectant faces, watching where the crowd is traveling, trying to pickup a general vibe of how the public is. Or alternatively taking a last look around the desolate streets.)

Actually, Yoman, I think these actions are only for roll number 2...

I was counting the 'introduction' roll as roll #1.

Introduction roll as in when the player characters show up? Or is there something I'm missing here?
