"Right indeed, friend." Ibrahim ride to the center of town towards the well and dismounted. Watering the horses was the first order of business, then they coukd concern themselves with where to settle themselves for the night. Ibrahim called out a hail to the people living there as he rode...

Ibrahim spoke loudly, so the men could hear too, and in the native accent. "Be not afraid. We are but messengers, sent to find prince Daffythh, who rides through these hills. Surely you noble goatherds, who travel the land to graze, can speed is on our way. We would remember your aid."

"Let's stop in the village" Ibrahim says, reining in his horse. "My skills are best with men and weakest with horse and dog tracks." He reins the horse in and turns into the little road, knowing the Gaul will follow. It isn't steep once he's among the huts, and he slows the horse...

Ibrahim nodded at the guards in thanks and spurred on his horse. It was not a short ride, though he hoped it would be an uneventful one. He rather liked being on horseback. It represented freedom and strength. So long as you were on a horse, you could go anywhere, never fearing that you couldn't mak...

"I'm no tracker" said Ibrahim's, "but we know where he is often found, and there are men who live and work outside the city walls. Farmers, soldiers, travelers. They see the comings and flings from the city. We have but to to ask in the proper way. We'll begin by riding out near where...

I never got an email that this updated. Sorry! Ibrahim grimaced again at the contents. Such cruelty and demands. He could see why the young man didn't much want to be home. But it was his lady's place to give out cruelty if she felt her children were not living up to her expectations, and it was al...

Ibrahim grimaced. The task had not been an easy one: like rolling dice on a game of chance with only a few favorable outcomes. Still, he had expected to find at least one of his charges, and he hoped the Lady did not think him useless after such a failure. He gave the Gaul a nod, then opened the scr...

The best place to find the children and inform them of their parents' desires was surely at the great mosque where they would come to prayer. Ibrahim hastened that way, though he might have preferred a prayer in relative anonymity at the local tailor's, it was not his duty to satisfy himself, but to...

Ibrahim. 10 hp, 13 AC Ibrahim gives the guard a polite, but very shallow bow, and begins melting himself back into the crowd, heading to the Quince gate, where Walenty was often to be found. As he departed from the guard's question, he smiled amicably and told the man, "surely, if that informa...

Ibrahim approaches the five guards stationed at the gate. He moves confidently, but calmly. He has served around the ruling family of the city long enough to understand how to move around guards and his body language before he said a word was already telling them: "I am no threat, but I possess...

Just fyi, I know we're just getting started, but I just traveled halfway across the country and I'm working on a political campaign for the next month, so I can't commit to being consistent with my schedule. I'll try to get a post in once every few days.

Ibrahim bowed to the lord and lady and made his way down the tower. He scanned some of the rooms briefly in case the errant children were staying nearby, perhaps in secret tryst right under their parents' noses. Then he made his way to the fountain gate first, watching the women coming and going and...

I found a really cool language map graphic for who speaks what, where, although it starts 200 years after our setting, I think it's still fairly accurate.

Interesting. In light of the updated parrying rule, I think I'll switch from rapier to shortsword.

I'm going to get this started. Might not have time to finish the whole thing now, but bits and pieces. Ibrahim Al'Dani male Muslim Berber (North African) Rogue (Thief Archetype, Sage Background) [I don't have the Player's Handbook, so background and archetype might change later if I like something b...

I will need to add you to the forum group, ... and that is done! :-) Lots of links to history in the setting topic of that group. Anyone - xp for your characters, for each good link you contribute to the background info that is related to your character concept. Something like 20 xp / link. :-D Thi...

Further thought. I hope the terminology isn't too hard to access for this game. Maybe have a key in the opening OOC post so that we can consult who's important, their titles, and the names of important places without having to memorize a history textbook?

Hi all, Eulalios let me know about this game and I'm interested in the setting. I'm thinking about playing a rogue-style character. A local I think, one of the dying lord's close confidants who also served as a spy for the family. Perhaps recently returned on a mission. I lean at the moment towards ...
