					<div class="bbWrapper">The Wizards of Disandar were not, as a rule, accountable to anyone other than themselves, save perhaps the Emperor. In fairness however, <i>everyone</i> was accountable to the Emperor in one way or another. His iron fist squeezed the lands of his domain tight, but none tighter than those of the Imperial City.<br>
<br>
Thus when two wizards began to argue over who would be the one to purchase a particularly interesting bauble, it was no surprise to anyone that the argument quickly escalated in to violence as the two magicians refused to back down, with spellfire being called up and thrown about.<br>
<br>
What <i>was </i>a surprise, however, was the fact that neither Wizard seemed to care about the collateral damage.  The Emperor had long tolerated these little spats between the assorted magicians of the Imperial City, even encouraged it as a way to keep their power pointed at each other rather than at him. However as a rule, none of them dared do anything that could affect the markets of the Empire. To affect the Emperor's flow of coin was a crime most severe.<br>
<br>
Thus what began with two magicians quarreling in front of a crowd of curious onlookers quickly became a lethal duel, with the people and merchants of the markets running and screaming in fear as they were flash fried by gouts of magical fire, or impaled on a storm of blades stolen from the guardsmen and propelled by mystic will.<br>
<br>
The carnage wrought on the markets was devastating, as each Wizard brought their full fury against each other. After a few moments, the streets were paved with blood of innocent bystanders. Those who's bodies were not pulverized or turned to ash quickly found themselves participants of the conflict, risen as undead to serve their master in the duel.<br>
<br>
Only a beggar-man, huddled in the furthest corner he could find, remained. Terrified out of his mind and trying desperately to go unnoticed by the raging combatants.<br>
<br>
Eventually, one of the magicians fell, overrun by a swarm of fire spirits conjured by their rival. Too soon after his demise, the markets fell silent and only the sound of the victorious Wizard could be heard, heaving for breath with a sword through her chest, desperately trying to use the last ounce of her magical ability to keep herself alive long enough to claim her prize.<br>
<br>
As she bent down to grasp the item in question, she failed to notice the Beggar-man, who had sensed an opportunity to pull himself out of the squalor he had been living in for the better part of two years. Whatever these Wizards had been fighting over, it had to be worth a fortune if they were going to risk drawing the fury of the Emperor like this.<br>
<br>
Beggar-man, Beggar-man, what do you do? What are the methods that you would see through?<br>
<br>
Choose your best trait:<br>
&gt;Smart: Twist the sword in her chest. You were always clever, and this way it looks like a mutual kill.<br>
<br>
&gt;Subtle: Slit her throat with your knife. You were always quiet, and it's best to get the job done with minimal fuss.<br>
<br>
&gt;Strong: Strangle her with your hands. You were always tough, and Wizards are just people without their magic.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;and above all else, claim her prize for your own.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The problem with Smart is that I imagine the Beggar-man would be brutally splattering this guy's brains across the cobbles with a goddamn stone, while thinking to himself "Damn I'm smart." Now, to be fair, things clearly work differently in this world with the magic and all. Maybe smashing things with stones is actually a good brain exercise around here. But man does that sound like it's going to be bad for the psyche.<br>

Then we've got Subtle. One slice across the neck, and you're out with the prize in less than ten seconds, leaving no traces. If I was the Wizard I would definitely be impressed.<br>

That said, I've modified the option to make it more "intelligent", so if you want to change your vote, feel free to edit your post. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":xFsmile:" title="Smile    :xFsmile:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":xFsmile:"></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;You are <b>Subtle.</b> A clever rogue with nimble hands matched only by a silver tongue.<br>
<br>
The Wizard, for all her power, all her majesty, all her skill, was ultimately still mortal. Though her powers enabled her to endure a blade through the chest, it took all of her focus and concentration to channel her mystic abilities in to her life force in order to stave off death.<br>
<br>
Such concentration was ultimately undone, however, when a hand clamped over her mouth and a blade drew itself across her throat. What force of will she had been able to scrap together in a bit do maintain her life vanished like a candle being snuffed out, and she fell to the ground, little more than a pile of meat and bones.<br>
<br>
The Beggar-Man waisted little time reveling in his victory, it was only a matter of moments until the guardsmen automata arrived on the scene to quell any dissent. Against their stone skin and eyes that shot fire, his knife would be little better than a toy.<br>
<br>
Snatching up the item that so many had died for today and wrapping it in his haggard outfit, the Beggar-man ran as fast as he could away from the scene of the battle. Rounding corners and ducking inside alleyways, he finally made his way back to his tiny, abandoned shack. Here was his home for the past two years, with little more than walls and a blanket to shield him from the cold.<br>
<br>
Settling inside and closing the door, the Beggar-man unwrapped the cloth and took a look at what he had taken.<br>
<br>
What did you find?<br>
<br>
&gt;A sword. Practical and deadly, the blade sings with magic.<br>
<br>
&gt;A book. Learning and knowledge, all a page away.<br>
<br>
&gt;A ring. Symbolic power, yet influential among the right circles.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;A book.<br>
<br>
The Beggar-man leafed through the pages of the book he had stolen, carefully going over it's contents. He could read, a little, enough to make out the basics of what the book as saying.<br>
<br>
It was a grimoire.<br>
<br>
 That in and of itself was not surprising, Wizards quarreling over a book of magic was perfectly understandable. No, what made this so special, what made this particular grimoire worth killing over was <i>who</i> the the grimoire used to belong to.<br>
<br>
If the Beggar-man was reading correctly, this grimoire used to belong to Maxwell the Invincible.<br>
<br>
Twenty years ago, Maxwell had waged a one man war against the Empire, almost succeeding in bringing it to it's knees.  It was only the combined efforts of a dozen Wizards, a full legion of Imperial troops, and the Emperor personally leading the charge, that had finally succeeded in putting Maxwell to down for good.<br>
<br>
No one had been completely certain of the secrets to Maxwells unprecedented success in his bloody war against the Emperor, but whatever secrets they were, they were now in the Beggar-man's hands.<br>
<br>
What the Beggar-man found strange though, was the fact that this book contained not a single spell within it. Instead it contained lengthy articles on magical theory, Maxwell's notes on the structure of the soul, and various alchemical formula. Whatever secrets it held, they would take time to unlock, as much of it was impossible for the Beggar-man to understand.<br>
<br>
The only thing he could use as a starting point was a diagram of a circle of power. When etched in to a surface and dressed with blood, the ritual circle was said to grant a level of enlightenment, or madness, depending on the strength of mind of it's user.<br>
<br>
Temptation welled up inside the Beggar-man. Here was a chance for power and mystic strength beyond anything he could imagine, but he didn't understand anything about how the circle worked or what it could do to him if he failed. He could do it, right? Just draw the circle, offer his blood and brace himself for whatever came. It couldn't be that hard, could it? Maxwell had done it, obviously so there wasn't any reason he couldn't.<br>
<br>
Right?<br>
<br>
<br>
Attempt the Ritual?<br>
&gt;Yes, he who dares, wins.<br>
&gt;No, better safe than sorry.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;Yes, he who dares, wins.<br>
<br>
The Beggar-man's hesitation lasted for all of a few moments. He had nothing to lose and everything to gain by attempting this ritual. It was clear to him that whatever power Maxwell had gained, whatever the source of his invincibility was, it was in this book. The Beggar-man wanted that power, and would not stop now that the means to grasp it were literally in his hands.<br>
<br>
He would have to get out of the city, first. The ritual required a circle of power, and the stone streets would be too firm and unyielding for his knife to carve up.<br>
<br>
Rewrapping the book in his tattered clothing, the Beggar-man hurried as fast as he could to the outskirts of the city. It was a long way, and it would take a few hours walking, but beyond the high walls and fortified battlements lay open grasslands that would provide the material he needed. As a stroke of good luck, it would also be close to sundown by the time he got there, enabling him to work under the cover of darkness.<br>
<br>
Soon, faster than he expected, the Beggar-man found himself outside. His excitement and enthusiasm redoubling his efforts, he began to carve up the ground, clearing away any debris and making sure that the circle was clear and distinct in the ground.<br>
<br>
It took a few tries to get the circle just right, and by the time he was done, the sun had long set, with the great gates leading back in to the city having closed. But it was going to be worth it, he was sure.<br>
<br>
Putting his knife away and setting the book aside, the Beggar-man entered the circle of power, making sure that everything was exactly the same as displayed in the book's diagram before speaking the incantations.<br>
<br>
"Fun muz wah aav dii they, koc foefco ke zead my kuco!"<br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
Silence met his words, the only sound being the wind slowly rusting the grass.<br>
<br>
The Beggar-man waited, waited, and waited some more, only for the complete lack of anything to happen slowly fill him with bitter disappointment. What had he done wrong? He had followed the instructions as best he could!<br>
<br>
Letting out a yell of anger, he kicked the book aside as he left the circle, intent on going back to his shack and thinking of some other way to claw his way out of destitution.<br>
<br>
Only, for some strange reason, the city gates were tilting to the side. Wait, no, scratch that. It looked like the whole ground was suddenly becoming vertical rather than it's normal horizontal. That was strange.<br>
<br>
Oh, and there's the ground now, coming to meet him. How nice. It's moving a bit fast, though.<br>
<br>
Seconds before impact, the Beggar-man lost consciousness.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
<br>
The Beggar-man awoke in a strange place. It was just like the place he had just left, except that the whole world was frozen still, and cast in muted colors. What's more, he could clearly see himself and the book he had kicked, both suspended in the process of falling to the earth.<br>
<br>
It was a throughly uncomfortable experience.<br>
<br>
Looking around for anything that could help him fix... whatever this was, the Beggar-man saw a strange man, sitting at a large wooden desk, watching him patiently. He appeared to be one of the nobility, or perhaps the steward of one based on his uniform. He had not been there when the ritual had started.<br>
<br>
"Welcome." Said the man. "Please, sit down." He gestured to a chair in front of the desk that had not been there a moment before.<br>
<br>
Confused, the Beggar-man did as requested, looking at the strange man with reservation.<br>
<br>
"Are you ready to begin?" Asked the man, the ghost of a smile playing over his face.<br>
<br>
"Begin what?" Asked the Beggar-man, now even more confused than before.<br>
<br>
"Your enlightenment." Said the man. "I am Nettrein. I am here to teach you."<br>
<br>
"Teach me what? I don't understand what's going on here." The Beggar-man said.<br>
<br>
"You are here in this frozen time because you completed the Rite of Edification." Nettrein said. "Thus, I have been summoned to impart upon you any lesson you desire, so long as you can afford the price."<br>
<br>
Instantly on guard, the Beggar-man eyed Nettrein warily. "And what price is this?" He asked.<br>
<br>
Nettrein smiled. It was not a friendly smile. "Your sanity." He said, looking  to the frozen surroundings. "Once begun, the lessons will not stop until you have attained a sufficient level of mastery, or you go mad from the isolation." He said.<br>
<br>
 "If I might make a recommendation, I would advise that you focus on one skill, or perhaps the basics of an array of them. Asking to be taught how to be a great general or a powerful magician will take years or decades of study, and you will lose yourself long before then." Nettrein said.<br>
<br>
"Now." Nettrein said, refocusing his attention back on the Beggar-man. "Are you ready to begin your lessons?"<br>
<br>
Are you?<br>
&gt;No, get me out of here!<br>
&gt;Yes, ask to learn the knightly basics (Martial arts, diplomacy and etiquette, letters and numbers)<br>
&gt;Yes, ask to learn the scholarly basics (Magic, academics and history, letters and numbers)</div>

Sorry fot the delay.<br>
OOC<br>
<br>
&gt;Scholarly basics<br>
<br>
"Teach me the scholar's arts." The Beggar-man said to Nettrein. Memories of the Wizards dueling over the book flashed in his mind. If he could acquire even a fraction of that kind of power, with Maxwell's grimoire, he would have a very strong advantage over everyone else who got in his way.<br>
<br>
"Very well." Said Nettrein, reaching down behind the desk and opening a compartment. From it he withdrew several large books, some writing materials and other strange tools that the Beggar-man didn't recognize.<br>
<br>
"You will start with these." Nettrein said, pushing the books the edge of the desk. "If you could perform the Rite, you can read some. This book will help you brush up on your reading and writing, and this here will help you familiarize yourself with how numbers work."<br>
<br>
The Beggar-man reached out and took the books, opening one of them and flipping through it. The first few pages of book was simply a collection of letters and their corresponding sounds, while the latter half seemed like it went in to things like "grammar" and "sentence structure." Whatever those were.<br>
<br>
Adjusting himself so that he was comfortable, the Beggar-man slowly began to try and read the book.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
<br>
If he was completely honest, tutelage under Nettrein was not the most pleasant of experiences the Beggar-man had been forced to endure. The being (Man? Demon? Ghost?) maintained an eternal professional distance from the Beggar-man, making any sort of familiarity and companionship impossible to form.<br>
<br>
Add the fact that he was in a sliver of frozen time, eternally watching his body fall to the ground, while the sun never rose, the wind never blew and the smells and sounds of nature were dulled to the point of nonexistence mean the whole experience was incredibly oppressive. Had he known what would happen, the Beggar-man would have perform the Rite somewhere with a more naturally inclined towards stasis, such as a library or a a temple hall.<br>
<br>
The unnerving stillness of the world was a continually grating experience, always just on the edge of the perception and preventing him from relaxing or getting any rest so long as he was aware of it. To avoid thinking about his unnatural predicament, the Beggar-man threw himself in to his studies, trying as hard as possible to bury himself in the books and lessons so he could continue to maintain his sanity.<br>
<br>
The lessons themselves were varied. Once he had fully mastered reading, writing and the basics of mathematics, Nettrein began teaching him about the sciences. The forces of nature, the interplay of mater and energy, the structure of the body and mind, and how the mystic arts could be used to influence them were a daily lecture, with the Beggar-man taking constant notes and memorizing passages of import.<br>
<br>
The lessons on history were the most interesting to the Beggar-man, as they provided a much needed context to his life's story. The origins of the Emperor and the founding of Disandar, major conflicts, both social and military, that had shaped Disandar's culture all provided the Beggar-man with a singular lesson: That power ultimately lay in the hands of the one willing to take it.<br>
<br>
It was with this lesson in mind that he eagerly threw himself in to the studies of magic.<br>
<br>
Learning the mystic arts was unlike anything the Beggar-man had ever done. Nettrein provided the books and necessary materials from within his desk (which seemed bottomless, and he never ever stood up from), but unlike the memorization of facts and learning how to think about the knowledge he had acquired like in his previous lessons, actually applying his studies in to actual spell craft provided a level of physical feedback that often threatened to overwhelm him at times.<br>
<br>
More than once he had been practicing a spell, and even after carefully charting out and double checking his diagram, it still would blow up in his face, often times literally. The dangers associated with careless spell casting were enough to make him want to give up at times for fear of his own safety. Unfortunately, that was not an option. Nettrein had made it clear, and continued to make it clear, that time would only move again once he had completed his lessons.<br>
<br>
That said, progress was definitely being made. As the complexity and sophistication of this lessons grew, so too did the Beggar-man's mastery of the material. Where he once struggled to read and write, now he did so effortlessly. The sciences and academic arts were no longer opaque and unknown, but readily understood chains of cause and effect.  History was the context of the past that colored the present, and magic was not some strange and alien power, but something to be mastered and controlled. There were still questions he had, gaps in his knowledge, but the foundation he had been working to build was such that he could find those answers with a little time and effort of his own. <br>
<br>
And it was with that thought that his lessons abruptly came to an end.<br>
<br>
"I believe we are finished." Said Nettrein one day, taking the books that had come to occupy his desk and putting them away one by one. "Your studies are complete, and what I have left to teach is beyond the sophistication of our current agreement. Unless you wish to stay further?" He asked.<br>
<br>
The Beggar-man paused before speaking. Part of him wanted to stay, to acquire deeper secrets, better mastery, but when he looked at the frozen world, the eternal stasis that had continually ground at his consciousness, he knew he had to get out of here, fast.<br>
<br>
"No. I'm done for now." The Beggar-man said. standing up from the desk. "If I ever have need of you, I will call again."<br>
<br>
Nettrein shook his head. "I am afraid that is impossible. The Rite of Edification can only be performed once per person."<br>
<br>
The Beggar-man was about to object when his lessons came back to him. He turned back to his body, still frozen in time. In order for him to be able to interact with anything while outside of his physical being, his soul had to have been extracted from it in order to enable him any level of tangible impact. Repeatedly extracting a soul from a body was extremely stressful, and not something done lightly in the first place.<br>
<br>
"Yes, I understand." Was all the answer he gave.<br>
<br>
Nettrein nodded, an imperceptibly small twitch at the corner of the mouth the only indication of his approval. "Now, if you'll sign here, we can return you to your body." He said, sliding what appeared to be a contract across the desk.<br>
<br>
The Beggar-man picked up the contract and looked it over. It was nothing nefarious, just an acknowledgement that the terms of their bargain had been completed satisfactorally, and that they were to part ways from now until the end of time. Nettrein had already signed his name at the bottom, and now all it needed was the Beggar-man's signature as well.<br>
<br>
What do you sign?<br>

&gt;Vincent<br>
<br>
Vincent signed his name on the contract, and watched as the words on the paper shone briefly before slowly growing warm, warm enough to set the contract ablaze with a green fire.<br>
<br>
Nettrein nodded his satisfaction. "I bid you fair tidings, Master Vincent. May your lessons empower you to attaint your goals." He said, his words sounded faint, as though coming from far away. To Vincents surprise, Nettrein began to grow transparent, before slowly fading away in to nothing. Before he could move or act, color bled back in to the world, and Vincent's vision went black.<br>
<br>
He hit the ground with a bone jarring thud, impacting the ground and completing the fall that had been months in the making. Letting out a groan of pain, Vincent sat up and rubbed his side, cursing himself for his carelessness. He really should have known that this was coming. Had he not been staring at his body frozen in mid-fall throughout all his lessons?<br>
<br>
He resolved to not be so careless in the future.<br>
<br>
Standing up and retrieving Maxwell's Grimoire, Vincent gave his surroundings a quick scan. It was completely unchanged form when he had first completed the Rite, proving that time had indeed been frozen for all of his lessons, and it had not been a massive hallucination.<br>
<br>
Of course, a quick conjuring of magical light only further cemented the fact that he had been host to a strange spirit of knowledge.<br>
<br>
Vincent had to struggle to suppress an exclamation of triumph. He had power now, real, tangible power! This was the break he had been looking for, the thing that would let him get what he deserved. The paths wealth, fame and status were all within his grasp, and he had ever intention of sizing them.<br>
<br>
The question now was, how to it?<br>
<br>
With the knowledge he possessed and the spells at his command, Vincent's options were now wide open, and he was left somewhat paralyzed with indecision.<br>
<br>
Above all else, the first thing he needed was money. The clothes on his back were barely better than rags, and he had no coin to his name other than what he could sell, which consisted of a few trinkets back in his shack, his knife and the grimoire, the last of which irreplaceable.<br>
<br>
He could stay here, sell his skills and services to someone rich enough to afford him but stupid enough not to train themselves in the mystic arts. That was how most of the Wizards in Disandar made their initial fortune. Alternatively he could apprentice himself to another Wizard and learn their secrets as well The problem with that was it would take a lot of time to properly built up his fortune and skills to a level where he could be independent.<br>
<br>
Alternately, he could leave Disandar, strike his fortune out on the frontier. Living on the streets had him ample opportunity to overhear the latest gossip as people tended to ignore the homeless, and it seemed like every day there were new stories coming back of some brave and daring soul finding a fortune out on the fringes of the Empire. It would be risky of course, the frontier was nothing like the civilized lands of the Empire, but it could be worth it in the end.<br>
<br>
After mulling over the pros and cons of staying or leaving, Vincent eventually decided he would...<br>
<br>
What do you do?<br>
&gt;Stay in Disandar. Sell your services or apprentice to another Wizard. Low reward, but also low risk<br>
<br>
&gt;Leave for the frontier. Find fortune and fame in the lands were anything can happen. Highest reward, but also highest risk.<br>
<br>
OOC<br>
More meta question: Would you prefer to have Vincent's spells be written out for you in the OP, or would you prefer to have them be a surprise? I plan on drawing most of the spells from DnD, due to an abidance of choice.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;Leave for the frontier.<br>
<br>
Vincent decided to leave for the frontier immediately.<br>
<br>
There would be no gathering of supplies, no packing, had no supplies to pack and not a coin to his name to purchase them. He didn't even have a way to travel the vast distances it would require to leave the Imperial City, let alone any proper clothing that would shield him from the elements.<br>
<br>
It didn't matter, he had power now. Power to defy the whims of nature, or shape them more to his liking.<br>
<br>
Vincent had to struggle to contain his mirth as he began preparations for his spell. A circle of power, some mystic signs and a bit of willpower to cajole the ambient energies of the world were all he needed. It was all so easy, and opportunities before now him were endless. Vincent watched with rapt fascination and suppressed glee as the mystic forces slowly coalesced inside the circle, glowing slightly like a thick fog lit by a candle.<br>
<br>
Within moments, the arcane magics had morphed themselves in to a perfect likeness of a mighty stallion, complete with saddle and bridal. It stood before him, obedient and eager to serve it's creator. With one last look at his creation, Vincent mounted the phantasmal steed and spurred it in to motion.<br>
<br>
Only to nearly fall and break his neck as the creature broke in to a full gallop.<br>
<br>
It was a valuable lesson, Vincent reflected as he clung for dear life to the beast and struggled to maintain his position on it's back. He may have power now, power to create a facsimile of life itself, but if he wasn't careful, that very power could end up being the death of him.<br>
<br>
Finally stable on the horse's back, Vincent watched as the countryside sped by in a blur of motion. The horse wasn't true flesh and blood, and knew no fatigue or weariness, enabling to travel at full speed nonstop. Already the mighty walls of the Imperial city were far behind him, along with every trace of his miserable old life.<br>
<br>
The sun had long ago set below the horizon, and the warmth of the day was slowly ebbing in to the cool winds of night. Vincent knew that he would have to make shelter soon or risk succumbing to the cold.<br>
<br>
Slowing his mount down to a steady trot, Vincent cast his eyes about for a suitable place to rest for the evening. He had just spotted an ideal location behind a small mound just off the road, when the sound of metal clashing against metal met his ears.<br>
<br>
Curiosity getting the better of him, he steered his mount around the bend, and was met with the sight of three figures under assault from what looked to be a half dozen assailants.<br>
<br>
The three figures looked to be soldiers, as they were covered head to toe in heavy plate, and mounted on very fine warhorses. The assailants were armed with spears, and were slowly closing in around the three figures.<br>
<br>
Vincent could could tell that this had been a pre-planned ambush, and not a bunch of rogues striking a target of opportunity. The presence of the spears prevented the soldiers from simply charging through them. Even as the thought went through his mind, the assailants charged the surrounded soldiers, their spears finding home in horseflesh. With cries of pain, the mighty beasts fell, dislodging their riders who were forced to leap from their mounts or be trapped under them. One of them didn't make it, and was swiftly killed by his attackers.<br>
<br>
The other two had drawn their swords and readied their shields. One of them was in much higher quality armor than the other, and Vincent could taste the magic that they channeling. A Knight, then, wielding their own style magics.<br>
<br>
In any other situation, Vincent would have given the win to the men with the spears, but with the Knight, the two figures would have a strong chance, even when out numbered three times over.<br>
<br>
A timely intervention might tip the scales one way or another...<br>
<br>
What do you do?<br>
<br>
&gt;Aid the Knight and the soldier. Having a powerful figure like that in your debt would be invaluable.<br>
<br>
&gt;Aid the assailants. If you can impress them enough to convince them to follow you, they could be useful pawns.<br>
<br>
&gt;Do nothing. This isn't your problem, and you don't care enough about either side to get involved.</div>

My choice:<br>
Aid the Knight and solider - I can see the pros and cons of both sides, but what good are pawns when they are as common as mud? A single powerful ally could very well turn the tide in your favour in any future engagements. Plus, it doesn't seem likely that the thugs would have any loyalty, while the Knight would be bound to repay your debt by honour.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;Help the Knight and the soldier.<br>
&gt;Subtle Character Trait synergies with Scholar Character Trait. Spellblade Class Unlocked.<br>
<br>
As no one had realized Vincent had appeared on the scene, he took this opportunity to dismount and shoo away the magically created horse. He had no sword or spear, and attempting combat on a horse without such a weapon would only be asking for trouble.<br>
<br>
Palming his knife, Vincent slowly began to walk towards the melee, whispering spells under his breath. He was no warrior, not by a long shot, but mystic talents and his knack for underhandedness meant that he would be a deadly figure on the battlefield regardless.<br>
<br>
The first spell he wove was one of protection. An invisible, ablative barrier materialized out of the aether around him, and was strong enough to negate lesser attacks and blunt the trauma of stronger blows.<br>
<br>
The second spell he wove was one of bloodletting His knife shone with a subtle, deadly light as the magics hardened the blade and honed it's edge to the point where it could cut stone.<br>
<br>
The third and final spell he wove was one of quickness in body and mind. Vincent was a thinking man, and more time to think in a pitched situation would give him a very formidable advantage. As the last spell took hold, time around him began to twist and distort, pooling in to stillness or rushing in to motion.<br>
<br>
The backs of all the assailants were turned to Vincent, and with  preternatural grace and precision, Vincent moved quickly to the rear of one, and seized him by the back of the head.<br>
<br>
The man struggled for a brief moment, surprised as the sudden grip on his hair. The struggles were short lived however, as Vincent's knife soon found it's way to the man's throat, slitting it in one quick motion.<br>
<br>
The sound of the man's cries of surprise and gurgling death throes were another lesson to Vincent. Next time he would stab the man in the back and drive the air from his lungs. As it was, the man's last cries has alerted his comrades to his existence.<br>
<br>
Shouts of alarm rang out among the assailants, and new orders were barked by someone in the group to death with him. In those scant few moments, Vincent had seized the spear the now dead assailant had been carrying and wove the spell of bloodletting over it as well.<br>
<br>
Two men broke off their attack from the Knight and the soldier, who themselves were unsure what to make of Vincent's sudden appearance. Their hesitation was only momentary, as the Knight used the distraction provided by Vincent to charge forward, bringing a blade crackling with power, cleaving two men in half with a single blow.<br>
<br>
Sidestepping a spear that was thrust at him by one of the assailants, Vincent trapped the shaft of the weapon and gave it a sharp jerk, using the assailant's own forward momentum  against him to pull him off balance. His attack disrupted, Vincent drove his own spear in to the man's chest, downing him instantly as his heart suddenly found itself decorating a spearhead.<br>
<br>
Bereft of his new weapon, Vincent was forced on the defensive, dodging and ducking between the blows of two more assailants. His quicken mind allowed him to accurately judge their attacks, but it was his protective spells that prevented them from skewering him as their attacks came nearer and nearer to their mark.<br>
<br>
Playing the dodging game eventually drove his two attackers to lose their cool, and their attacks became more aggressive and reckless. Eventually an opening was presented to him which Vincent seized with murderous intent. Dodging between the two spears, Vincent's knife found it's way in the throat of one of the assailants. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately, Vincent had overextended himself, and could not turn to finish off the second attacker in time. With a shock to his whole body, Vincent found a spear lodged in his chest, with only his protective spell preventing it from being instantly lethal.<br>
<br>
Desperate, Vincent threw his knife at the second attacker. Guided by the bloodletting spell, it found it's mark neatly in the man's heart. Vincent and his assailant collapsed to the ground, with Vincent trying to stay conscious and work a spell to try and repair the damage done to his body.<br>
<br>
It was not to be, the damage was too great for him to focus his magics. Blackness slowly took him as he bled out, and the last thing he saw before his vision faded was the Knight  cutting down the last of their assailants.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
<br>
Sound came back first, muffled and distorted. A sea of inky blackness broken only by discordant noises was all Vincent knew. Sight came soon after, blurry and fogged. As his vision returned, his hearing became sharper and clearer, and the muffled sounds turned themselves in to words.<br>
<br>
"Are you alright, can you hear me?" Said a voice. Vincent's vision slowly returned to him alongside his hearing, and he soon saw that the voice belonged to the Knight whom he had lent his aid. Such as it was.<br>
<br>
"Don't try to move too suddenly, I wasn't able to fully heal the damage." The Knight said, putting a hand on his shoulder as Vincent attempted to sit up. A burning pain in his abdomen reinforced the Knight's words, and Vincent's eyes traveled to his body, where a vicious looking scar had formed.<br>
<br>
"Thanks." Vincent said, gingerly touching the scar on his chest. It was another lesson, protective spells could save a life, but armor wasn't a bad idea either. He made a mental note to see if he could acquire some in the future. Life on the frontier would undoubtedly be just as dangerous as this.<br>
<br>
"It's I who should thank you." Said the Knight, taking off her helmet to reveal a young woman with blond hair and green eyes. Her features were sharp, definitely pretty but had an indisputable air of authority and regal command to them, typical of other Knights. "I would surely have perished had not you intervened when you did. I am in your debt, sir." She said.<br>
<br>
Vincent slowly brought himself to his feet, aided partially by the Knight. His mission was a success, after a fashion. While he had taken more of a beating than he would have liked, the Knight was grateful for his assistance and felt as though she owed him. The trick now was to try and leverage that gratitude without offending her Knightly honor. <br>
<br>
"I did what I could." Vincent said, feigning humility. "I just wish I had arrived before your comrade had fallen." He said, recalling the soldier who had been crushed beneath his mount.<br>
<br>
"Commrads." The Knight corrected, looking sadly over her shoulder to where the other soldier lay. Three spears had pieced his armor, a sign that the man had fought to the last before falling. "Both Hector and Maurice were skilled and valued protectors, but even numbers can overwhelm."<br>
<br>
"I'm sorry for your loss." Vincent said. "But why would a Knight need a protector?" He asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. Knights were typically powerful warriors, armed with an array of deadly battle magics. The idea that they needed bodyguards was unusual, to say the least.<br>
<br>
"When you are second in line for the throne, there are many who would view you as a potential threat." The Knight said. She gave a courtly bow, before drawing herself up in to a proper, formal introduction. "I am Princess Cassandra of Disandar. Well met, warrior." She said.<br>
<br>
Vincent stared at the woman before him, mouth agape, his mind blank, unable to fully comprehend what was happening. The <i>Royal Princess?!</i> What was <i>she</i> doing out here? Under so light a guard? And who were the assailants that he had rescued her from?<br>
<br>
Vincent was now worried that he had just interfered a major political power play, something that he was absolutely <i>not</i> ready for yet. He knew that with the Emperor being all but immortal, the lives of his progeny were not as all-important to him as another ruler's heirs would be, but they were still his children, and attempting to assassinate one was a serious offense.<br>
<br>
"Please, be at ease." Cassandra said, the corner of her mouth twitching as it tried to suppress a smirk. "You have saved my life, I think the barriers of formality can be dropped between us." She said.<br>
<br>
Cassandra extended a hand towards Vincent, expecting him to take it. "And I still have not heard the name of the warrior with whom I am indebted to." She said.<br>
<br>
This refocused Vincent back on the present. Massive political implications aside, he had just saved a child of the emperor. He was playing with fire now, and if he wasn't careful he could get burned. Better approach this cautiously for now.<br>
<br>
"Vincent." He said, taking her hand and shaking it in greeting. "And..."<br>
<br>
She thinks you are a warrior, How much of your magic do you reveal?<br>
&gt;Some of it. The magic horse will be a bit of a giveaway, but there's no need to tell her all your tricks just yet.<br>
<br>
&gt;All of it. Better to put your cards on the table so she trusts you. No need to risk any damage to a potential ally's opinion of you just yet.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;Reveal a little of your magics.<br>
<br>
"And must confess that I'm no true warrior." Vincent said after shaking her hand. "I possess some skill in Wizardry, which was the source of most of my feats tonight." Vincent wasn't sure what was going on here, but for now it seemed prudent to play things close to the chest. A significant portion of his spells were the kind that would go unnoticed when employed, a deliberate choice on his part, as he had no desire to reveal himself to the world at large just yet. It wouldn't do to have anyone realize that the source of his power was a forbidden Grimoire.<br>
<br>
For her part, Cassandra seemed intrigued by this, which was exactly the opposite reaction Vincent was hoping for. "Truly?" She asked, giving him a more thorough examination. "Yes, I suppose you do look the part. You must have recently come from your hermitage, correct?"<br>
<br>
Vincent became suddenly more mindful of the drab, worn rags that he was wearing. "Yes, something like that." He said. Being trapped in a spiritual, temporal bubble could be called a type of hermitage. It was even self imposed. Kind of.<br>
<br>
"Well, I do again thank you for your aid. Would that I had anything to reward you with, I would give it to you." Cassandra said. "For now, however, I must see to the remains of my comrades." She said, turning to the bodies of her bodyguards.<br>
<br>
The aftermath of the battle was a grim sight. Corpses everywhere, dismembered or skewered by weapons. It was a reminder that no matter how noble or how wicked one was, death was the ultimately the great equalizer.<br>
<br>
"Let me help. I know a ritual to work the ground in to forms that I desire." Vincent said. He had originally devised it so that he could build himself an underground base of operations once on the frontier, perhaps even sell his services to any militia who desired better fortifications against the dangers of the wild once he was more secure in his mystic power. At present, though he had no reason to hide it from her and it could easily be used to entomb the departed.<br>
<br>
At this, Cassandra looked even more grateful than before. "I truly am in your debt." She said, standing aside and allowing him to work. "These men deserve a proper burial for what they have sacrificed."<br>
<br>
Vincent began to slowly walk around the battleground, pausing every few paces to inscribe a mystic sign in to the ground along the perimeter. If he was completely honest, he would have simply created a sinkhole in the ground and let the earth swallow everything up. However, he felt that the disrespect shown to the bodies would likely lose him whatever good will he had earned from Cassandra.<br>
<br>
After several minutes of work, Vincent stepped back to double check his work. There were three layers of mystic etchings in the ground now, each detailing a different step of earthenwork the spell would perform. Satisfied that everything seemed to be in order, Vincent gathered up his will and pushed it in to the markings, triggering the chain reaction that activated the spell.<br>
<br>
The ground sprang to life as he did, churning and twisting like seawater caught in a storm. This separated each individual body from each other, and lined them up in to neat, orderly rows. Then, slowly each body began to sink beneath the ground. As the bodies of her guards were swallowed by the earth, Cassandra offered them a salute with her sword. Vincent was grateful that she didn't try to bespell them or anything, he had no idea how that would interfere with his own magics.<br>
<br>
Finally, after the last body had vanished below ground, the earth hardened once more, leaving almost no trace that there had been anyone here in the first place.<br>
<br>
A moment of silence passed after the work had been done, with Cassandra gazing silently at the ground in thought, and Vincent casting about for some excuse to break the silence and find out what exactly he had gotten himself in to.<br>
<br>
After a time, he decided that he didn't really have a good excuse on hand, so he simply decided to come right out and ask...<br>
<br>
Aside from what she's doing out here and why she was attacked, what do you most want to know?<br>
<br>
&gt;Input custom option.</div>

"If I'm not prying, what exactly is a child of the Emperor doing so far from the capital?" Vincent asked. This was easily his most pressing concern, right after making sure this didn't end up backfiring on him.<br>
<br>
"Father is looking to expand the frontier, and claim more land for development for the Empire." Cassandra said. "I have volunteered to expedite the process, as well as protect Father's investments."<br>
<br>
Vincent gave her a skeptical look. "A woman of royal blood heading to the frontier as an overseer and administer of new farmland? You'll have to forgive me if I remain unconvinced." He said.<br>
<br>
Cassandra let out a small sigh. "Yes, it is a rather poor cover story, is it not?" She said. "While that is part of my responsibilities, there are other tasks that I have been entrusted with. None which I am at liberty to share. I do hope you understand." She said, looking guilty.<br>
<br>
Vincent didn't feel the need to press the issue. Both because it wasn't something that concerned him and because he felt confidant that he could get her to tell him eventually.<br>
<br>
"That's fair, royal business and all that." He said, causing Cassandra to look relieved. "I suppose things on the frontier are excitable at the moment? I've not heard news about it during my hermitage, so I'm not up to date with the local gossip." Vincent said.<br>
<br>
"Indeed." Cassandra said, looking eager for a change of subject. "There have been reports of several locations rich in mineral deposits, and hope to set up supply lines and a mining base soon. Many people are already migrating in hopes of finding their fortune."<br>
<br>
Vincent cursed under his breath. A rush of people to the frontier was exactly what he didn't want. It would be harder to stay unnoticed with more people around. Still better than in the city, but not as good as it could have been.<br>
<br>
"Is that why you were attacked?" He asked, looking at the shifted earth were the bodies of her assailants were buried. "Someone wanted to make sure you didn't make it to the frontier, so they could try and claim the mineral wealth for themselves?"<br>
<br>
"Among other reasons, yes. That is most likely." Cassandra said, still not giving him the full story.<br>
<br>
"Right." Vincent said, feeling no better or worse about the situation. So it wasn't a power play by a rival noble or her kin, just plain old greed, and whatever else was hidden in the frontier. That in and of itself was cause for concern, as whatever was out here was of immense value if someone felt it required the oversight of one of the royal family, to say nothing of an attempt to assassinate them.<br>
<br>
"If truth be told, I'm planning on heading to the frontier myself to further my studies. If you like, I could accompany you until then, as you seem to have... lost your escort."<br>
<br>
At this, Cassandra grew sullen, and her gaze turned to where her bodyguards were buried. "Thank you." She said after a time. "I am very fortunate indeed that you happened to come along when you did." She said.<br>
<br>
Vincent was about to tell her to think nothing of it, if only to pretend to have some humility and modesty, when Cassandra brought her hands to her lips and let out a loud whistle. As the sound faded, hoofbeats could be heard echoing through the air, and a horse appeared off in the distance, making it's way towards them.<br>
<br>
Vincent started, and then turned his eyes towards the ground. He was sure that horse had died in the ambush skewered by the assassin's spears, yet here it was, healthy and whole, as if it had never been touched.<br>
<br>
The steed was obviously magical of some kind, but different from his own. A spirit beast, perhaps? More Knightly magic he was unfamiliar with.<br>
<br>
As the best trotted to Cassandra, she raised her hand touched the side of it's head, and it obediently came to a standstill, waiting for her at the ready. "We should get moving. She said, turning to him and walking around to the side of the spirit horse. "Climb on, if we ride double, we should be able to make it to the next way station by the morning." She said.<br>
<br>
Vincent shook his head, and extended his arm to snapped his fingers at the air. Almost immediately, the horse which he had conjured previously appeared out of the air, returning to it's creator. "Thank you, but I have my own transportation." He said.<br>
<br>
Together, the Knight and the Wizard sped off, riding towards the frontier and whatever new awaited the newly forged allies.<br>
<br>
&gt;End chapter 1<br>
<br>
A new ally gained, intrigue afoot, and the open horizon in front of you. This seems like an excellent place to end the first chapter of The Path to Power. Chapter two will start with our hero arriving at the soon-to-be mining complex with Cassandra, and getting involved in affairs that he wished he could avoid.<br>
<br>
With the end if the first chapter, I'd like to take the opportunity to get some feedback. <br>
<br>
What are your overall thoughts on the quest so far? Is it heading in a direction you find enjoyable? Is there anything you would like to see more of? Less of?<br>
<br>
How do you feel about Vincent? Do you feel he is representative of all the choices you've had him make? Is there a development you would like him to advance towards as a character, or avoid?<br>
<br>
Any feedback is welcome, so don't hesitate to tell me what you think.</div>

I'm really enjoying this so far. Great writing, great story, and it really feels like our choices influence the plot. My only nitpick is when you use "it's" instead of "its".<br>
<br>
As for Vincent, I'd think the obvious developing into a better person who actually cares about people would be good. Also, his full name should be Vincent Jacob Daniel or something.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;Begin Chapter Two<br>
<br>
"I can't accept this." He could absolutely accept it.<br>
<br>
"It's too much." It was perfect.<br>
<br>
"I'm unworthy of such a gift." A baldfaced lie.<br>
<br>
Vincent was in the midst of an armory, held adjacent to the barracks of Fort Windward, the furthest and most isolated encampment on the frontier. As Fort Windward was on the very edge of the Empire, it was considered the ideal staging grounds for expanding the territory. The rush of new people, new supplies and new responsibilities had invigorated the Fort from a sleepy buttress against the elements of the wilds in to a slowly developing, full fledged township. Vincent was shocked at the number of people here, having expected minimal posting for such an out of the way encampment.<br>
<br>
With him was Cassandra, currently in conversations with the base commander, Colonel Dustin. Both of whom were completely ignoring Vincent while they discussed his position as a retainer at the Fortress. While initially hesitant to take on a civilian, Colonel Dustin had changed his mind completely when he was informed of Vincent's mystical abilities, as the Fortress itself did not have a Battlecaster unit assigned to it.<br>
<br>
Cassandra had been the one to first broach the topic with Vincent upon their arrival. Vincent had given some token protests for the sake of pretending to have some modesty, having become resigned to the fact that his mystic skills were unlikely to remain a secret for much longer. It was only when they had begun discussing supplying him with weapons, armor and other equipment for his newly acquired duties did he start really vocalizing his protests.<br>
<br>
Because frankly, that is exactly what he really wanted.<br>
<br>
Eventually, Cassandra grew weary of his protests, and shut him down. "Enough, Vincent." She said, not unkindly. There was a subtle smile on her face, as though she knew he was secretly eager to accept. "It does not do for a man of your talents and deeds to live in squalor. Where would you go of not here? Do you have coin to pay for lodgings?"<br>
<br>
Vincent outwardly grumbled, but otherwise ceased his protests, content to let things develop. A small part of his protests <i>had</i> been genuine, if only because becoming known as the resident Wizard would draw more attention to him than he liked, but the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.<br>
<br>
Dustin, a gruff, boisterous, bear of a man, laughed at the spectacle. "You've been in your books too long, mage. Here in civilization, we recognize deeds of valor. You'll fit in nicely once you clean up and get out of those rags. Now, come, lets see about getting you some proper steel."<br>
<br>
"Very well, if you insist." Vincent said, allowing himself to be lead to the back of the armory, were the more high quality gear was stored.<br>
<br>
"I do." Cassandra said, still all business. "If you are going to stay here, you will at least look the part." She said.<br>
<br>
The duo watched as Vincent was fitted for a set of light leather armor, as well as a longsword that had been forged from quality steels. It was quite nice, all things considered, and Vincent spent more time than he cared to admit admiring the new gear.<br>
<br>
"There. Much better than those old rags you used to wear." Said Dustin. "I'll have the attendants bring you some clothing as well. Armor is nice, but you'll be dead sore if you try to wear it as your day attire." He said, laughing at his own joke.<br>
<br>
"You will be stationed in one of the officers quarters." Cassandra said. "Dustin and I will be in the same wing, so we can head there next to get settled in if you would like. Otherwise we can tour the fort and get the lay of the land if you're eager to get started."<br>
<br>
What do you do?<br>
<br>
&gt;Get settled in.<br>
&gt;Tour the place and get to work.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;Tour the area.<br>
<br>
Fort Windward was situated on top of a large hill that overlooked most of the surrounding region. there was a dense wooded area to the far west, and fields and grasslands to the north and south, along with mountainous regions further along in each direction. Eastward was the ocean, and the infinite waters beyond.<br>
<br>
At the base of the fortress was a collection of developing buildings that would soon transform in to a full township. A large set of walls surrounded the developing town, and a pair of main gates connected to the roads leading to the mining complex and the way back to the capital.<br>
<br>
The township was ablaze with activity, as newcomers looking to make their fortune on the frontier were assigned duties and responsibilities by the administration. Others with a more enterprising spirit had set up shops of their own, many little more than glorified stalls at the moment, and were promoting their wares to anyone who passed by.<br>
<br>
Of the shops in question, the largest was the apothecary and the general store. The woodlands surrounding Fort Windward were flush with natural resources that a clever herbalist had capitalized on, and it was here that Vincent had stopped during Dustin's tour of the area.<br>
<br>
Both Cassandra and Dustin had been engrossed in a conversation regarding the deployment of new resources, pricing and overall economic stability of Fort Windward, and failed to noticed until it was almost too late that Vincent had stopped and was examining several of the unique reagents that the apothecary was selling.<br>
<br>
"How much for a bundle of these?" Vincent asked the shopkeep, pointing at several plants and minerals.<br>
<br>
"That'd be two Rods, sir." Said the woman behind the counter.<br>
<br>
Vincent gave the woman a skeptical look. "Two whole Rods for some plants? That seems like a bit much." He said, giving them another look.<br>
<br>
The woman shook her head. "No no, these are Malsus blossoms. Very rare and very hard to get ahold of. You're lucky I can let them go for <i>only</i> two Rods. They grow more abundantly out here than anywhere else." She said with a smile.<br>
<br>
"Uh huh." Was Vincent's erudite reply. He knew the Malsus blossom, they made a fantastic all-purpose base component for a number of spells. They weren't nearly as rare as the woman was making them out to be, though. Odds are he could buy a dozen back in the capital for maybe a dozen Rings. Much less than two Rods."<br>
<br>
Or course, that as besides the point, he didn't have any money on him at the moment. Still, they'd be useful to have once he started actually doing work, Maybe he could get an advance?<br>
<br>
By then, Dustin and Cassandra had noticed his absence, spotted him and were approaching. The woman in question saw the pair of them over his shoulder, and while she didn't recognize Cassandra, she certainly knew the man in charge of the fort she was living in the shadow of.<br>
<br>
"Vincent, there you are." Dustin said, approaching him. "Whats this, thinking of buying something for a woman?" He asked, noting the flowers Vincent was looking at.<br>
<br>
"They're Malsus blossoms. Good for magecraft." Vincent said, ignoring the teasing. His attention was now back on the shopkeeper. The poor woman looked like she was  very uncomfortable, now that she knew Vincent was associated with Colonel Dustin, she was rethinking and possibly regretting pricing the items Vincent was interested in so highly.<br>
<br>
What do you do?<br>
<br>
&gt;Take advantage of your new situation and have the reagents "gifted" to you.<br>
&gt;As for an advance from Dustin and buy the reagents normally.<br>

Anyways I say we should dynamically and, may I add, morally ask for an advance but try get the Malsus Blossoms at a reasonable price.<br>
<br>
Though it would be fun to declare ourselves the new Resident Wizard and <s> demand </s> request the flower it simply would not do to make an enemy of a potential supplier. Though I am tempted to suggest we do so, being subjugated to LCD nightmare squequence because apothecary contaminated one of the ingredients we brought of her could be fun.<br>
<br>
Well choosing the first option would just put us at a tie. So yeah, the second one has my vote.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&gt;Ask for an advance.<br>
<br>
"I don't suppose I could get an advance on my payment to buy a few." Vincent said, deciding to give the increasingly anxious looking woman a break. "They'll be useful for cooking up any magics that might come to mind." Vincent had a few ideas of what he'd like to do with the Malsus blossoms. There were a number of large scale spells and enchantments that could be use to enhance the fortresses defenses, or increase productivity in the town.<br>
<br>
Dustin waived off his request, having other plans in mind. "No need. We'll make up a requisition order and let the bureaucrats sort it out." He said "You'll have your flowers in a day or two."<br>
<br>
Vincent nodded, finding this satisfactory. "Very well. I'll leave it to you and your people, then." He said. Vincent wasn't too happy with the blossoms being dismissed as mere flowers, but he suspected that Dustin would change his tune once he saw results.<br>
<br>
The shopkeep looked relieved as the three of them left, and she turned her attention back to her stall, adjusting things to make them look more presentable, and likely to justify the higher price. Well, it wasn't Vincent's problem anymore.<br>
<br>
"Speaking of bureaucracy and organization, will I be supplied a workplace to ply my craft?" He asked as the three of the continued walking. The more space he had to conduct his work, the better. "If so, I'll need something properly ventilated, with as much floor space as possible."<br>
<br>
Dustin frowned, considering. "We have a few place we could set you." He said after thinking. "The first is in the old temple adjacent to the fort itself. No one uses it anymore, so you wont have to worry about anyone getting upset that their god is being kicked out."<br>
<br>
A temple might work, even if it was a bit unconventional. He'd have ample space for his equipment. "And the other?" Marcus asked.<br>
<br>
"The other is an old watchtower that looks over the sea." Dustin said. "It used to be the workstation of the last Wizard we hosted, but he took most of his stuff with him when he retired. Might be something useful for you there."<br>
<br>
Vincent mulled over his prospects. Both the temple and the tower had their advantages and drawbacks, and while his room as closer to the tower, the size of the temple was tempting.<br>
<br>
Where is your lab going to be?<br>
<br>
&gt;The Temple. Plenty of floor space, abandoned but still somewhat open to the public.<br>
&gt;The Watchtower. Open to the air, isolated, likely full of useful mystic paraphernalia. Not a lot of space though...<br>
<br>
OOC<br>
Sorry for the short post, trying to get back in to the swing of things.</div>

Speaking off, there is this roleplay that is going to be a very silly (we're currently discussing the possibility of a Magic Space Dragon-Dragon Fairy-Dragon riding a dragon). You interested?
