I'm having a pretty tough time creating friendly towns, so undead and demons are playing roles as NPC's. I figure I can finagle one human settlement (miners who got lost, and are making the best of it), but much more than that, other than the people you come down with, is really pushing it. That means I need to use Sliths, Demons, Nephs, Drakes, Undead, and damn near everyone I can think of as friendlies. Few of them are "absolute" friendlies. Most are only willing to let you into their town because you can help them. And yes, this scenario is way over ambititious, especially since I only have the first outdoor section finished. (It's a biggie though. It has 17 towns since most of the towns go through three or four versions throughout the game.) Um... what on earth is the premise here? No friendly human settlements? Suggestion: go with the kind of NPC demons who are more than willing to help you, just as long as they can profit, a lot. Even better suggestion: make them neutral in the editor, so they won't help you if/when you get attacked. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

An RP in the World of Avernum Reloaded in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, April 10 2006 16:26 Profile Homepage #286 -------------- The land has a way of restoring balance after cataclysms. Take Valorim. The land healed over in surprisingly quick fashion once the Plagues were dispatched. More importantly, those who mistreat the land will pay a steep price in due time, for the land never forgets. - Teachings of the Order -------------- Brother Yewbark walked cautiously through the deserted streets of Woodsmuir, taking care to look around every corner he came to. He wasn't surprised how easily the other troops allowed him to be the one to parley... he could easily be walking in to an ambush. Or worse, a hostage situation. At this thought, he smiled. If he was taken prisoner, he'd leave a big enough crater behind to warn Accis of who he was dealing with. From the time he'd spent in the old capital, he knew he was nearing the Imperial Palace. But the scent of burnt timber was stronger here... very puzzling. He rounded a corner (taking care not to expose himself to an ambush) and was floored by what he saw. The city block which once held the Imperial Palace was leveled. A crude wooden shanty, three unsteady-looking stories high, stood in its place, with a few wisps of smoke drifting up from the roof. Brother Yewbark strolled through charred hunks of stone and the remains of blackened timbers, beginning to mutter some protective charms under his breath. He paused before the weak-looking door, and knocked. He heard clicking sounds behind him, and he turned to see the rooftops aswarm with archers again. None moved to shoot, which worried Yewbark greatly. They want me alive... he thought, before the door opened. -------------- Clearwater stood in the Council's meeting room again, looking out the glass window over the ocean. Off to the north, he thought he could see The Muse carrying his trusted aides to disrupt the Hunters. If all went well, the group would land on the southeast shore of Valorim, perhaps passing through the Isles of Karnold. Just to be safe, Brother Clearwater had sent out three messenger birds the previous day, all destined to reach whoever now controlled the area. The Guild had spoken of a league of fishermen and an order of mages, and Clearwater was unsure what to make of this. As long as they don't pull a Skylark Vale... he thought, uneased by the idea of that many mages given free rein over the land. Sure, they could be perfectly logical people, but let them get out of control... Clearwater stopped himself short of finishing the thought. Anyone can get out of control. Until that point, we must trust them, if only so that we can reach the Hunters, or whatever remains of them. The Guild had reported severe instability among the Hunters, over which Clearwater was quick to rejoice. Perhaps the agents of the Order would arrive in time to deliver the killing blow. There would be no meeting of the Council tonight. Clearwater needed time to plan for if the group failed... and besides, the Council was no closer to agreement on anything. On the way out of the Hall, a messenger ran up to him from the temple. He handed a scroll to Clearwater, marked with Brother Yewbark's handwriting. He unrolled it slowly, expecting the worst. But when he finished reading it, he was unsure what to think. Sure, Brother Yewbark was a competent negotiator, but Accis sounded highly unstable... (OoC: For clarification, news of Tygra's assassination just hasn't reached the Order yet.) -------------- Sister Quartz stood at the bow of The Muse, hoping to be the first to catch sight of the coast of Valorim. She knew this would be an interesting voyage, particularly if they got the chance to run interference against the Hunters. When she had heard the news of the Hunters' pillaging of Kriszan, she had nearly set sail for Valorim herself. Her grandfather had helped maintain the Order temple there, and he had been listed among the casualties in the short report received by the scrying pool in Ivrel, just before the last druids were killed. Quartz was simply proud that he had died with honor, apparently taking ten Hunters with him. She reflected on her crew, a well-balanced assortment of warriors, priests, and pathfinders. The group of twenty had trained with the Order around the same time, so they had already gotten used to each other. They knew the importance of their mission, and they all took a bit of pleasure in the knowledge that they'd be avenging the Order. In fact, they'd be striking a blow for peace in Valorim. Quartz had always wondered a bit about how violence could achieve peace, but these thought had dissipated when she learned of her grandfather's death. It was personal now. Savoring the scent of sea-spray, Sister Quartz strolled back to the cabins, hoping to join the rest of the crew for lunch. Only a few days, and they'd be in Valorim. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.
