"The Rosewood Bastion"
She was watching the people pass by. She watched for long hours, sometimes someone piqued her interest and she would follow them with her gaze, furrowing her brows and pondering on whether they might be the right one to ask.
Oh, how she had considered this so many times. That woman in heavy armor with a two-handed sword strapped across her back, or that noble man with his bodyguard with far too many scars across his once maybe pretty face, or that Dwarf wearing glasses, studying the brick pattern on a wall. They were all intriguing people, very much so, indeed, but were they the right ones for what lay ahead?
And so she had stayed quiet, frequented brawl nights in shady alleys, trying to find the right persons to question, to hire, to recruit … to trust.
Eventually, she did. In the midst of night, uncalled for, an older man, a veteran of many wars, had told her of a group of mercenaries who would work for their own choice of remuneration - yes, payment that would come once the job was done, not beforehand.
During one of the brawl nights she had stumbled upon an out of place knight, had talked to him about her quest, the worries she had and the dangers that lurked in the snow. And … he listened, though unsure, but he spoke to his captain and they were considering aiding her cause.
Maybe, just maybe, she would be able to return … alive … with the help of these people. But still they were few, without a crew and ship to sail them north, without people who could care for the soldiers, who knew of logistics and of ancient matters in the cold that was her home.
She should know. She did know, but there was far too much for such a one as her, and she had been lost for far too long.
The Rosewood Bastion sighed, she was but a small servant of the Light in the sky, but clouds were gathering and a storm was nearing — and again noone seemed to care about the words of her sage … would the tragedy repeat itself and would all of her kin perish?
OOC - Plot, Details and Signing Up
Hello Argent Dawn!
This may be a big forum thread for few possible sign up slots left, but I wanted to reach out to all those who I’ve not met IC on my walks through Stormwind or during Conclave meetings.
PLOT: The whole plot will be played out in the Howling Fjord with a potential IC evening in Stormwind before and/or after the journey – at least, if we return alive. The story plays in real time and is affected by the events unfolding prior to the release of Shadowlands, though the core of the plot is not related directly to Shadowlands, but is focused on the Howling Fjord and tidbits of lore about it.
Voice Actors: I have spent over four months gathering voice actors from all around the world for this plot that has been dear to me since I started running through story ideas two years ago. I am very close to having all lines sorted out and processed. The voice actors will be credited in their individual videos!
Plot & Voice Acting: What you will experience is not an audioplay as I’ve done this before. This time, I wanted to try out a more hands-on approach by using RPG elements found in games such as Skyrim or Dark Souls.
- I have created multiple NPC’s that will have various dialogue options you can run through to receive pre-recorded voice lines.
- In addition, you can find story tidbits around the lore of this plot scattered in specific areas of the Howling Fjord, all under the guidance of Sinye to keep you on track but with the ability to choose which NPC’s story you want to pursue.
- There are numerous stories to follow and all offer a reward if solved, similar to a quest. It is possible to miss out on some of the stories, and it is also possible to fail at an objective. Death is always an option, too, but that’s your call, really.
- If the characters manage to find many (if not all) correct clues, they can unlock a proper ending to the plot, but that is dependant on the choices and resilience for I am not a kind DM and enjoy watching you
burntriumph!NOTE: No powerful characters such as Death Knights or Demon Hunters will join this plot as my character would never actively seek them out for her quest — I’m sorry! This is about a few people on a journey facing various obstacles more than about fighting monster hordes, though some fights may occur!
Roles Available Taken Fighters (Mercenaries / Soldiers) +/- 1 +/- 7 Support (Medics / Mages / etc.) 1 3 Backup-Fighter (Archaeologists / Merchants / Sailors / Tracker / etc.) 0 4 TOTAL: +/- 15 or 16
Dates / ScheduleAs I do not wish to keep people from experiencing the pre-patch events for SL, this plot will either be put on halt for a week, or will play after people had the chance to take part in the pre-patch events, thus I aim for October 7th through October 15th with at least two days of OOC break or casual camp RP!
Estimated time frame:
About 6-7 nights of roleplay, about 9 ooc days.CONTACT
