Paragon on the gods

[KingOfLaughter]

The winds shift, the smell of fire carries far. You stare at you're 3 companions, the most varied of people to be called together and yet you have been. You don't know why you don't where you're supposed to be going, you only know the names of the people you're with, that no two of you are the same.

You sit in a small stone room, about 40ft by 40ft, you're all sitting in large red chairs around a fireplace at the east wall. There is 4 beds on the north wall, a table with 4 wooden chairs on the south wall and a large metal door on the west wall. You are all pretty tired and are just finishing up your post meal conversation and drinks.

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

Stretching, the elven wizard tries to shake off the tiredness that follows such a well cooked meal. The converstaion had been, so far, interesting to him. Each of his compatirots showed tallents for different skills and all of them were of different races, or so it appeared. Taking a piece of leftover meat, he would reach up to his right shoulder and feed his familiar the treat. "It appears the question is, why have we been brought together?" The elf would poise the question to the group while the raven eyed each one of them.

[KingOfLaughter]

(OOC: If anyone has anything worn thats a family/religious symbol please post it) and a very basic background to it.

[EdroGrimshell]

Edro lies on his back, his head resting on his hyena's side, "I was just beginning to wonder that myself," he then sits up and grabs a piece of meat as well, throwing it behind him, Shenzi catching and eating the morsel. "I was called here for my connection to Ikyproth the Laughing Hound. Shenzi here is one of Ikyproth's daughters, just like the rest of her breed."

[boj0]

Bardal takes in his companions, interesting folk all of them; he leans back in his chair, twirling small orbs of teal and orange light between his fingers. "I'm here because I chose to be," he pipes up,"it seemed like something that I needed to do, more than my usual traveling, strange I can't think of a more eloquent way to put it." He says with a chuckle.

He puffs out the lights, and leans forward in his chair (as well as he can given his size).

[Invelios]

Beldak belches, By Moradin's beard, that was some good eats. As to why I am here well, Moradin came to our seer one night and asked for a warrior to stand for him. I was honored to be picked. And he stretches out his mammoth war hammer clanking against his shield. [The warhammer is also his holy symbol. It is obviously well made and well used.]By the by, my name is Beldak Urtek, I didn't gather any of yours?

[KingOfLaughter]

As the night goes on you all grow slowly more tired.

[EdroGrimshell]

Before the sun even set, Edro fell asleep, his head resting on his hyena's side as she slept lightly.

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

"I am Corellon Larethian, I am here on behalf of he for whom I was named." He would give his introduction before heading to bed, feeling fairly safe in company of his new compatriots. They all seemed to be like him, and yet somehow different. He couldn't understand why though.

[Invelios]

Beldak throws his pack on the bed, leans his shield and hammer against one side and curls up and begins to snore.

[KingOfLaughter]

The group of you falls asleep, rather fast, and the night is one of rejuvenating rest, you're not sure why but you all wake up feeling so full of energy. You also notice the fireplace has been replaced with an open doorway to a balcony.

[boj0]

Bardal pulls out his paper and ink and begins writing down the days events, he goes a few more hours before getting some shut eye. He bids a good night to his companions and lets sleep take him.

[EdroGrimshell]

Edro stretches as he awakes, petting Shenzi's head. He only notices the door after taking some of his rations of dried meat and feeding both Shenzi and himself. "That wasn't there before"

[Invelios]

Beldak roots around in his pack till he finds the hardtack and gobbles it down, washing the dryness out with a swig from his flask. He then announces, "GOOD MORNING, everyone. I feel like I could do just about anything this morning. Better than I have felt in forever. Must have been that plush human flooring, nice and comfy if I do say so myself."

He then lowers his head and kneels before his Hammer and Shield and begins a low chant in dwarvish to Moradin.

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

Having found a sense of self that he rarely reached, Corellon awoke from his meditation with a certian clarity. Hearing the words of Beldak, he would address him in Dwarven, "May Moradin smile apon you this morning and all the blessings of the earth be with you." He felt little to no need to offer a prayer to his patron other than the focus on his spells and spellbook in the morning. His familiar, the Raven Zanith, would turn the pages for his master as they studied. Once this was complete, he would rise from his sitting position to take a closer look at the door. "I'm surprised I didn't notice it before..." He would keep his distance, just taking note of it from afar.

[EdroGrimshell]

"Wasn't the firepit there when we went to sleep? I don't know about you but this is to much to be simple coincidence, i'm checking this out." Edro walks over and opens the door. One hand on one of his swords.

[KingOfLaughter]

(door was already open, it was just an archway)

It leads out to a balcony, over looking a well a floating city. You can see it extend out for quite a bit and then the edge appears over that you can see a great ocean.

[EdroGrimshell]

"Is it normal for a city to be flying over the ocean?"

[boj0]

"Well, this is unexpected. Bardal chimes in with a yawn

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

"The unexpected is a specialty of mine. I would say that it is entirely possible, if abeit strange." With his massive metal magical tome floating infront of him, Corellon would step out onto the balcony.

[Invelios]

Beldack follows the others to the balcony having finished his prayers, and geared up.

[boj0]

Intrigued, Bardal steps out to the balcony to join his companions

[EdroGrimshell]

"Shenzi," Edro says, motioning for her to follow as he walked out onto the balcony. "I'm unfamiliar with this kind of magic, why would anyone want a floating city?"

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

Rolling his eyes, Corellon would answer the simpleton's question. "The benifits to having a floating city are numerous. It is easily defended from monsters and armies alike. The vantage point also allows one to see further out from the city. Not to mention that if it can float, it can be assumed that it can move. Once you have used your resources in one area, you can move to another." The elf Wizard would try to judge the distance between them and the city as well as how high up it was floating. "With that being said, it was probably made by one of the more foolish races... even with all the advantages, if it were to fall it would surely be destroyed."

[EdroGrimshell]

"It's a waste of resources. The time and magic it takes to keep the city floating must be immense. I may not be a mage, or all to familiar with magic, but i know everything needs to be maintained to keep functioning."

[KingOfLaughter]

The city itself is maybe 100ft below you, but it is floating maybe half a mile up.

[boj0]

Whistling a tune, Bardal thinks to himself "I know illusions, but this seems quite...real." Noticing the height, he decides to slip back inside.

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

Trys to find a way down from the balcony or something that might aid in crossing the distance between them and the city. Even if he finds something, he heads back inside the room. "I ponder, why were we sent here in the first place? A floating city could be of little interest to my patron."

Search [roll1]

[KingOfLaughter]

The tower itself seems quite regular, other then the city it's part of is floating.

The door suddenly opens. "HELLO! I HOPE YOUR NIGHT WAS RESTFUL!"

[EdroGrimshell]

Edro reacts immediately, hands going to his swords as he hears the door open. "And you would be?"

[KingOfLaughter]

You see a small man standing there, you're not sure if he's a midget or a halfling, he's heavier set and has waist length white hair.

"Hey now, I'm the one that done gone asked yall to come here. You're all probably wonderin why but hey, anywho if yall'd go and follow me?"

[Invelios]

"I got this I speak rural" says Beldak. "Aight den, we goin' follow you but first kin you give us somethin to call yurself in case we get lost?"

[KingOfLaughter]

The man laughs then goes very serious. "I'm not an idiot, I speak that way to be light hearted"

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

Ponders on the strange little man in their midst. trying to remember if he had seen one of this race before. "I'd rather hear the name of the one who is to escort us, as well to give my own. I am Corellon Larethian." He seemed to speaking very formally, but he would refrain from bowing. Elves tended to be very... strange in that fashion.

I could make an approapiate knowledge check, but I speak Gnome. I believe I would recognize one on sight.
Knowledge History? [roll0] What sort of people look like our new little friend?

[KingOfLaughter]

You think it's a short human, he has the effects of a human but too thin for a dwarf.

"Ah master Elf, someone with class." The man bows his head and then smiles "My name is Trine! It's a pleasure to meet you."

[EdroGrimshell]

"A pleasure as well, I'm Edro."

[KingOfLaughter]

"Perhaps the dwarf could learn something from the lot of you"

[Invelios]

"Perhaps the dwarf could learn something from the lot of you"

Perhaps when one speaks with a specific accent one would not be so quick to belittle someone for trying to be friend him using that same accent. and Please in future do not judge some one so quickly as it is poor form and not beneficial to any of the parties involved.

[KingOfLaughter]

Perhaps when one speaks with a specific accent one would not be so quick to belittle someone for trying to be friend him using that same accent. and Please in future do not judge some one so quickly as it is poor form and not beneficial to any of the parties involved.

"Perhaps you did just that by speaking in return in such an accent." The shortman turns and walks out, "If you would all follow me!"

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

Showing little to no amusement at the idle chatter, Corellon simply follows once asked. "Where are we headed then? And if you summoned us, for what reason?" He seemed to always be full of questions, but that was the fate of one who was as inteligent as he.

[KingOfLaughter]

"Yes and quite and sure. There's something about being god born and such that requires you prove yourself to be a paragon." The little man leads you down a flight of stairs to an arena, "Such as it is we require you to fight a set of animals and so?"

[EdroGrimshell]

"God born? Paragons? I'd prefer not to be so. Ikyproth is not highly regarded in my home village."

[Volos]

Corellon Larethian

"Animals? Simple beasts that can be turned away with the most simple of gestures? I don't see how that will prove our status as god-born. Still... if that will prove us, take us to where we fight." Corellon chuckles openly as he opens his floating tome. From on his shoulder, Zanith squawks in agreement. "We will defeat them with our arcane might. Sqwaa!" It seems that they both brimming with confidence.

[boj0]

"Well, my friend, if you truly believe us to be gods, well...then I suppose I can entertain your notion.", Bardal light-heartedly says.
