(OOC/Character thread) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=272409.0)<br/>(Seeker Thread ) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=272162.0)<br/><br/>A group of adventurers with varied familiarity towards each other had just spent the last few weeks traversing an underground labyrinth. The danger was immense, with challenge on every corner, beasts outnumbered them, and there were many times where they almost died. After killing the mastermind behind everything and his pet Hydra, the group was able to save the day, and as the spoils of war would have it, walk out with a huge pile of wealth!<br/><br/>The passing weeks had taken their toll on our heroes however, a long stressful journey that had all but sunken any saved up gold they had before hand in preparations. The lack of sun, the constant miasma in the air, the bloody daggers and traps, the feeling of walking through a swamp and leaches covering you, as well as the constant damp air and the consumption of dried rations are all things that adventures rarely speak about. Luckily for them, a solution was found.<br/><br/><br/>Paradise Island! A Resort town in the middle of the ocean, far passed any Kingdoms jurisdiction. Originally opened for and catered too wealthy nobles until the resort realized just how much money the average Adventurer makes. Having been opened for the past 3 weeks, it seemed to garner a lot of buzz around the kingdom. At a cost of 3000 GP just to be allowed to enter, and then further mandatory hotel cost, the group decides that a little vacation would do great for the soul! Each of them having been given 10,000 GP split from the adventure, which should give plenty of funds left over.<br/><br/>The cruise ship was nothing really to speak about. Mostly excited crowds of adventurers and heroes having used their ill gotten gains for this trip on the bottom deck, while the top deck clearly had rich nobles sipping champagne classes and getting pampered with wealth way beyond anything a mid-ranged adventurer could make. All the same, the salty sea air was pleasent to most who had just spent the last 30 days underground. And the shining sun with not a cloud in the sky sold the promise of a relaxing resort vacation! At long last, the ship arrived at the docks. And everyone got off. Standing at the far end of the docks was a dark skinned elvish women, wearing a white dress. Nearby are a small army of bored guards and service workers.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/8AmMlRl.png?1)</div><strong> "Welcome welcome to the lavish Paradise Island! Haha, yes I know its a bit of a blunt name but its what we called it while making it so it stuck before we could come up with another."</strong>She said laughing a little bit. "<strong>My name is Sylvia Almadil, and my father  is the proud owner of this lavish and luxurious island that he has so graciously allowed others to partake in! Allow me to give you, your orientation before we get started!" </strong>She said giving everyone a wink.<br/><br/><strong>"You've no doubt seen our brochures, giving you details about some of the attractions we have and explaining a little bit about our lovely hotels! However let me give you some fine details now that your here! So if you would please follow me, and allow these gentlemen to check your things in, and those who have hotels that provide it, will have your baggage brought to your room by our staff! That of course is a service provided to our Green+ guest! </strong><br/><br/>A group of strong shirtless men came and started helping carry some of the guests things. When paying for the trip, everyone was marked with some kind of rune, glowing bright the color of hotel they choose to stay at. Our Adventuring group all had around 7,000 GP after paying the initial fee's and therefor, had a choice of 4 hotels to stay at in their price range. Ranging from<strong>Yellow </strong>at 7,000 GP which offered carriage services, but would leave our them with very little spending money for the island itself. Orange seemed to be the recommended at 4,000 GP, not having carriage services but the rooms themselves were supposedly clean, and secure. Red at 2,000 GP seemed to list 4 walls and a lock on the door as its perks. And<strong>White</strong>at 1,000 GP simply said, "Economical".<br/><br/>It was around then that everyone's hand started growing the color of whatever color hotel they chose. The runes activating and spelled out everyone's name in the air with their corresponding colors. The group of men consisting of Orcs, Half-giants, and Half-ogres picked up the heavy luggage of the wealthier guests and started loading them on carts beautiful well polished carts.<br/><br/>Sylvia continued while this was going on.<strong>"I do like to remind everyone of the rules! No attacking anyone outside our designated area's. You're allowed to go into other hotel rooms if you are there guest, but, you are not allowed to partake in any of the services those hotels provide.  Please do not rent out your room. Many locations are for authorized personal, please do not go there. The Lighthouse, the mansion on the hill, and Observatory are also banned. Do not go inside these places. The Private beach for the Violet and Black hotels are only for residence of the violet and black hotels as well as a single guests, permitting those guests don't cause trouble for the other beach goers! Other then that, no other rules! Clothes are optional, sex can be had wherever, and there is no curfew!"</strong>She said clapping her hands.<br/><br/>The Resort town was now in sight. The first thing one would notice was the Customer Service building to their left. A building as described by Slyvia as the place to go for any complaints, questions, directions, desire to upgrade or downgrade hotels, or seeking a part time job while on the island. She also mentioned that there are businesses that hire and naturally any services that you can provide that people will pay for are means of making money if one didn't bring enough.<br/><br/>Some stores visible were a clothing store that sold sundresses, comfortable shirts, bathing suits, and in the back some fetish wear. A camping supply store, which sold tents, firewood, rations, rope, cages, and leashes for hunting. There was a business that sold "Indentured servants", whom seemed to be those who had a huge debt or simply needed more money and allowed themselves to be sold. A cafe where the waitresses and waiters were dressed skimpy outfits. A bookstore, advertising its sale of tomes, young adult fiction, and the newest erotica. A blacksmith, who made weapons, armor, horseshoes, shackles, cuffs, cages, and other hunting supplies. And of course, a lovely Tavern for those who want a drink and some good company in a place where they can relax.<br/><br/>Those being the visible stores on the strip, there are also sign posts that lead to the islands many other attractions. A sign leading to the Casino, as well as directions to the hotspring. Directions to the place of worship, and the beach was clearly visible from the island itself. The map of the island was on the brochure along with the attractions to the rest of the island.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Map and Attractions</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i.imgur.com/p8Gbagz.png)<br/><strong>Attractions: </strong><br/><br/><strong>Resort Town:</strong> An assortment of stores available as well as various services! Kind and friendly island workers will be happy to take your coin for purchase of overpriced merchandise. Various bars, restaurants, and stands can be found here as well, though be careful, not every merchant is honest. If you're also low on money, worry not! There are plenty of jobs you can do around to make your earnings, some of which are not degrading! <br/><br/><strong>Casino: </strong>North of the town is the finest casino in the world. Come see the gambling Dens and meet friendly faces as you take others hard earned money and impress the local gold diggers. Beautiful ladies and well dressed men to serve you all the free alchohol you could ever want. And if you run out of money, worry not! Our friendly staff will be glad to open up a tab for you! Just be sure to pay it back within a few days, or suffer the friendly consequences! <br/><br/><strong>Duel Arena:</strong> We realized that with the high number of adventurers making their way to the island, tensions can be high sometimes and we don't like fights breaking out in our hotels. We have a few designated spots where our local adventurers can resolve their conflicts through violence and not cause property damage. One of which is the Dueling Arena. We are plenty happy to allow it for use of any contest though, and certain nights we will host shows for our guests entertainment! <br/><br/><strong>Beach: </strong> We have a long beach going along the entire west side of our island. Beautiful sand and beautiful people naturally enjoying the sun. Enjoy some fishing on our docks, scope out some hotties and try to make your move! We do make a point to say that if you're looking for a wild and crazy time, to please go to the North Beach, as the South part of the beach is usually reserved for more quiet and peaceful seeking Beach goers. There is also a private beach for those in the Violet and Black Hotels. Attempting to sneak in will charge the violator a fine of 500GP. <br/><br/><strong>Hotsprings:</strong>  Whats a resort without a beautiful hotsprings to take a dip into! Up high on the mountain, our public springs are free for use. The West side is for ladies, East is for men. We don't have any guard stationed up there, so we use the honor system, and remind you to please all be decent people that we know you are. <br/><br/><strong>Church:</strong> On the mountain we have an open church that has idols and symbols of every popular non-evil god. Worshipers of lesser known gods and goddesses, as well as evil ones, may still use this place as a place for prayer as we do have many sections for you to place your own idol and pray! This area is however holy ground and those who may be harmed by it are suggested to avoid. <br/><br/><strong>Forest: </strong> Our majestic forests are home to a diverse wildlife. Various Plants and Fauna can be found in our forests that are free to explore. Due to some...unfortunate accidents, there is a new rule. Hunting is only allowed on the West Side of the forest, and for our druid visitors we HIGHLY advise that you don't go into your animal forms on that side. Hunting is not allowed on the East Side, and is a pleasent place to walk and explore if you are more in tune with nature. <br/><br/><strong>Abandoned Town: </strong> We found this island a few years ago, completly abandoned. There were towns and villages covering it, so rather then let it go to waste we intergrated most of it. That being said, the north village is one we haven't gotten to yet, and is currently planned on being developed. However, many battle seeker guests seem to enjoy sparing in the area, so we have for the mean time made it an area similar to the dueling arena, although with less regulations. This area is a free for all battle area where brutish adventurers can fight as much as they want and not have to worry about fairness. It should be kept in mind that while we have runes set in place to keep the fights from being fatal, we can not protect from any other consequence. If you are being held hostage, we will come and retrieve you once your stay is up. <br/><br/><strong>The Lagoon: </strong> The area around the lagoon is a particularly rocky one. A great place for picnics and sight seeing. Warning for the lagoon, while typically shallow, there are a few potholes that are a bit deeper then one would expect. Also, please keep away from the mansion on the top of the rocky hill, we're pretty sure its haunted. We also have an observatory in the area if you wish to use it during the night. <br/><br/><strong>Monster Island: </strong> Another attraction was also not planned. An island to the south east that is within ferry distance seems to be filled with the brim of monsters. An intricate cave system seem to reside somewhere on the island. We list this as an attraction, but it is not on our island, nor is it by our protection. We do pay bounties for certain monsters and will purchase certain monster parts. But travel here is under your own Peril. <br/></div></div><br/><br/>With all the introduction out of the way, everyone was allowed to soak in their surroundings. They were now on the beautiful resort island, the clean air blowing into their nostrils, the morning sun shining to all! The area weirdly surrounded by stone walls, the town itself looks like it was made a while ago given its architectural design, though clearly refurbished and rebuilt in many area's, as well as extended with additional construction. It wasn't a secret that this used to be a town before the owners took it, but no one is really sure how long ago it was abandoned, or for what reason.<br/><br/>The crowd started to disperse. The grand majority of the people there seemed to be in the lower level hotels, as everyone's hand had glew for a solid 5 minutes before the effect vanished. White naturally seemed to be the most popular, and many of the residence walked straight to the Camping supply store, with their gear on them as no one is carrying it anywhere for them. Those in Red and Orange began walking west to go visit their hotels, as they needed to drop off their stuff, with no carriage to take them. Yellow and Green, a much smaller group, threw their stuff on carriages and hopped on, being taken away to where they'll be staying. Blue and Indigo seemed to be much wealthier, and consisted of minor nobles rather then splurging adventurers as their carriages were much much nicer. Finally, Violet and Black hotels, were pulled away on winged pegasi, flying into the air as the carriages were magically stabilized so the ride wasn't bumpy.<br/><br/>Of course, many others wanted to explore the town, or ran straight to the beach or casino instead. Some even decided to go straight into getting a job as they knew they wouldn't be able to afford anything otherwise. Things were open for our band of heroes to go wherever they wanted on the island and take in all the sights, and flirt with everyone they wanted to.
