[King Aquamentus]

Jade returns, looking very anxious. She has one or two magic ropes slung around her shoulder. "Hey guys are we ready to go gosh I'm ready to go how bout you yep any time now where is Merlina come on lets go" She's nervously glancing around.

"Skie?? Where is Merlina?"

@King Aquamentus
@TheDarkOne

"Don't know, she'll show up soon enough. Let's just hurry up and get to town.

[Tamamo]

Hat to do this, but I'm just not feeling it. Hiatus time.

[TheDarkOne]

We'd need more players, but nobody else is interested, it seems.

[Tamamo]

I wonder why @CJC and @mrz84 haven't showed up yet myself.

[mrz84]

I mainly haven't shown up because I don't know what I want to do in here yet. To put it simply: I don't know what my character's plot/motivation is or what character I want to play yet...I haven't had this much problem with putting together a character for something like this for years. I apologize for that and I'm hoping to have something soon.

[TheDarkOne]

@mrz84 You could bring back Zataka. There are any number of ways to explain how he got here.

=======================================
Setting: The 4 Rocs Kings
=======================================
There are 4 (technically 5, but Garuda is unknown to this dimension) mystic birds of legend. They're names are as followed.

Flamier: The Winged Hellfire FIRE
Usually taking the form of a majestic bird of fire or a harpy Flamier is a condescending Roc. She was the first to arrive in Nosgoth. And caused much distruction, it wasn't until the 2nd roc arrived and told her to stop that things settled down. She roosts in a desert temple.

Voltos ELECTRIC
The 3rd bird to arrive was Voltos who settled in the mountains with the gnomes. It resembles a giant . He is a genius and it is because of him that gnome technology is so damn far ahead of everyone elses. He resembles a cockatrice and is mischievous and loves food and money.

Tempest CRYONIC
The 2nd roc to arrive was Tempest who resembles Articuno. If anyone knows just how angry Tempest of the storm can get it would be Flamier, it's said it only took a sky tackle and a death stare to get her to stop her rampage. He is not one you want to piss off. He has no roosting spot and surveys the Tundre preying off unfortunate animals.

The Raven King: VOID
Not much is known about this one. Accept that he has the most followers and governs the domain of death. He accepts both Rocs and Humanoids "like La Croix for example" into his entourage. His location is unknown.

Garuda:
The Roc King himself. The other four are at his beck and call. And they never give him no for an answer. He is immortal as long as one of the four rocs which serve as his Hexys are still alive.

Now for rocs in genera: Rocs are shape shifters and powerful mages. They have a huge distruption on the Mana Field "more on that later." and are not easily defeated. They're greatest weakness is each other. They just can't seem to get along the four of them. Drives Garuda crazy.
THere are three classifications of rocs. Roc Kings "the 5 above", Roc Servants "La Croix", and True Rocs "those giant birds and they are simply magical beast but become all the more dangerous."

also chapter 2 is where you guys find out who Merlina and La Croix really are.
@mrz84
Yes you can use Zataka, this is a entire new dimension anyways. Dragons cannot exist her, although dragonkins can.

[mrz84]

Zataka is no dragon so I don't see an issue there. He is a inter-dimensional travelr so I could use him again. But I wanted to think over other options first (and in case the original of CJC's restarts to avoid keeping track of 2 different instances of Zataka). I'll have something sorted out before the weekend though.

==================================
Update
==================================
@King Aquamentus @TheDarkOne
It was a day's trip from the fishing village to Lyeserin. But you have arrived at midnight exhausted from your long travels. La Croix checks everyone into a inn for a nights rest. Explaining that we will all begin asking around for Merlina in the morning. The night is peaceful, and you both soon fall asleep from your long restless travel...

ZZZ

You awaken to screams from Nerinae's room and the two of you find Lacroix and the Inkeeper holding down nerinae. Wait? Is she thrashing around in her sleep. You've heard of vivid dreams before, but you never seen anything like this. Then the Inn Keepers wife rushes pass you with a bucket of water and splashes it on Nerinae. Her eyes open and screams one last time before coming to her senses. And then tears...

All is quiet for a little while as she sits up La Croix with his arm around her shoulder. Then he asks the question everyone is wondering. "What did you see Nerinae?"

“The forest of the fey was approaching but I knew something was going very wrong. The sky was turning red and the sun turning black. The forest began twisting in on itself as I fly through it towards the center. And then I saw her. A monstrous tall figure no less than 7 feet tall with red horns and eyes, silky black hair and an upside down crescent moon on her forehead. She opened a fanged maw and out of it flew locust that engulfed me. They began devouring me, the pain it felt so real. I thought I really was going to be eaten alive!”

What do you do?

P.S. Shit get's real in this chapter. Prepare to drop your jaw like 4 times or so.
