				(http://i.imgur.com/8niWq5o.jpg)<br><strong>Sir Doryn Aelland</strong><br>29 years old<br>Human<br>Knight-Captain of the Crescent City Guard; War Hero; an young exotic (unwed) Nobleman from Foreign Lands.<br>Master of Arms, Skilled Commander, and Survivalist; Well-Educated; an experienced Vintner, Dog Breeder, and Patron of the Arts.<br><br>Doryn is a level-headed, likable fellow who doesn't put on airs and isn't afraid to get down in the dirt with the common folk, though he remains acutely aware of differences in social standing. This attitude served him well during the war which earned him his local standing, wherein he commanded fanatical respect from the men who served under him, who would have marched into hell itself at his side. In the peace, it's caused more trouble as the local Nobles find his foreign attitudes and cavalier conduct to be rather unbecoming. It especially doesn't help that he's turned down no few potential marriage proposals, flirts equally with men and women, and generally seems to be enjoying the attention he's getting a little bit <em>too</em> much. He'd likely be in even more trouble, but the local Elven Community finds him rather charming compared to the more staid human nobility and he's also attracted a sizable group of admirers who hope to attract his attention. He's even engaged in banter with a few noteworthy commoners, and tongues wag that he might wed (or at least bed) even a young peasant girl if the right one could capture his attention.<br><br>(Actual Background to come soon, but in general, he traveled into this area of the world some time ago from parts foreign and got himself involved in a nasty little war. He distinguished himself during this war, making no few friends amongst the local nobility and impressive the Prince of Crescent City. This all earned him a place in the City, a nice vineyard outside of the city limits, and a minor title. He's been making waves in the local social order and causing trouble without getting his nose dirty. He was recently appointed Knight-Captain of the City Guard, which he's been alternatively taking deadly serious and treating as a cushy sinecure, neither wholly for sale to the highest bidder <em>nor</em> an incorruptible scourge of crime. He's, as he is in many things, somewhat in between. He was probably a second or third son, and figures that he's done fairly good for himself, and thus has no particular desire to head home. He's, like, scary good with a Sword and has a keen strategic mind but mostly spends his time in leisure.)<br><br><hr><br>If anyone wants to use Meerika in their next reply, BTW, this is roughly the image that I have for her in my mind's eye--<br>(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/19/be/29/19be2970053189664aebd302144e49f0.jpg)<br><strong>Meerika</strong><br>One of Doryn's "Honor Guard",--<br>--sworn sword-arm to the Knight-Captain of the Guard, and Partner to the Captain's Various Dealings; Loyal<br>Gruff, No-Nonsense, Expects To Be Treated With Respect (And Has Little Tolerance For Anything Less).<br><br>I'll reserve the rest of this space for the other members of Doryn's "Honor Guard", who for clarity include--<br>--<strong>Friedrich</strong>, incorruptible and intimidating (and never outside of his full armor), <strong>Vaughn</strong>, who is imminently sensible and a bit 'dirty'-seeming, and an Elf-named <strong>Lai</strong>, who is sneaky and alert.<br><br>There are undoubtedly many many other Guards under his command, but these 4 are the ones that I intend to use most often to represent Doryn's position as Knight-Captain.<br>I don't mind other people using them, especially if they're treated with respect, they're NPC's rather than parts of my character. XD

				I had a thought that we might consider later. I do want to be able to keep all threeof these characters on a fun romp of discovery, confusion, drama and adventure. The build up between them will be gradual. What I was thinking is having little things happen that would bring them together. A little danger, a little intrigue and a lot of comedy and excitement. <br><br>If either of you have any ideas you want to spring on your character feel free to bring them out here. For instance, I plan on having the noble whose house Hani robbed make a big fuss about his loss. He will be blaming it in Sir Aelland and insisting the Knight Captain is not doing his job if nobles get robbed. Of course it happens all the time and he is just being a total spoiled jerk who expects his money and title to protect him. This won't happen for a few days however, so they can have other things happen. No need to be earth shattering, only annoying and needing someone to do something to smooth things over. They should be finding ways to get together, sometimes flimsy excuses, or real danger or an opportunity for great wealth they need to cooperate to get. I can see separate trysts happening, and bragging and so forth, but all in good fun.

				I really didn't want to basically destroy all of Verasaille's dialogue but I couldn't work it in and still play Doryn the way that he needed to be played.<br><br>&lt;.&lt;<br><br>I don't want to have to go to a strict post-order (because sometimes its nice to be more flexible), but we might consider some kind of way to communicate who posts 'next'. I've known that I had to get a reply in for hours, since Velasterian posted his reply more or less, but I couldn't actually sit down and reply until about an hour ago.<br><br>Maybe just posting a quick placeholder, (I'll be replying to this ASAP,-- please hold off-) that we can later edit into a full post?? Only if we <em>really <strong>really</strong></em> need to get a reply in before anyone else posts but can't manage it right then?? (Or even if we can do it right then, but wanna make sure nobody snipes us, heh.)<br><br>A lot of times, it won't necessarily matter, of course...<br><br>...but when it does, having something arranged ahead of time could save some headaches and wasted time.

				I am enjoying this a lot and I know I kind of jumped the gun there, CS. I edited a bit and I will reply to Doryn and his apparent discomfort. I would be glad to wait until Velasterian has posted. I do not want anyone to feel left out!<br><br>This will take some adjusting, as the three of us get into a rhythm. So no worries if we stumble a bit. If we want to establish a posting order we can do that if both of you wish to. I do not mind posting between you to answer both of you, but I don't want to hog all the attention!. You guys are both so good to write with me on this idea!

				I am assuming the posting order will be Me, CS, then Vel. Only because I started the thread.

				For the record, right at this moment, it feels like it's your reply. That said, whatever works for everyone, but I would like to renew my objection to an overly strict post-order.<br><br>As long as we keep everyone else in mind, and communicate, we really don't need one of those.

				To me, a posting order works for most of the time, as it lets us all take part in the story together consistently. That said, there will likely be times when the order can be mixed up because of whatever adventures our characters are getting into. As long as we communicate an interest in posting out of order when it feels appropriate, then I'm okay with it. As Vera said, this is all about having fun, so as long as we are consistent and considerate, I see us doing great things together.<br><br>I'm currently dealing with a kitten who is incredibly grumpy from getting spayed recently, so I'll have a reply ready tomorrow, hopefully in the morning.<br><br>

				So glad we can work things out!&nbsp; ;D<br><br>Poor kitty! Vel, she will get over it soon, let her sleep and offer soothing words and food when she is ready. Sometimes better not to offer petting until she is ready for it. If she is looking for comfort that is another story, then gentle massage and reassurance is great. <br><br>I am going to post a little bit.

				Well, I am in bed at the moment on my tablet. I suppose I could post, but you can have Doryn make a smart comment. After all, he is aware of her activities. He can really tease her about needing a bodyguard.&nbsp; Especially around that Womanizer Elf .(grin)&nbsp;

				Oh you are such a devil! By the way, CS, you might want to proofread your post. Velasterian is not the Elf's name, it is Ethirdir. An easy enough mistake, you must have been a little tired when you wrote that. Please feel free to pick on any typos I might make, I know I am far from innocent in that. Especially the part about writing when you are tired!<br><br>Hani is trying to be subtle, but of course the Captain is too astute not to notice what she is trying to avoid saying!

				Glad you liked it! I figured I would add a little information on the gem and where it came from. It is entirely possible that the Baron will find out soon that the gem he has is not the real bloodstone. The role of the Baron is wide open if either of you wish it. Or we can simply use him as an npc. I imagined him as someone higher up in the ranks of nobles, only the Duke is higher in rank. In his position, he gets away with a lot. Attacking him directly would be foolish of anyone, considering his influence. He really did&nbsp; not know how dangerous the gem was. If he had used it around a talented Mage, he would have been surprised at the reaction. <br><br>Mages covet things like this bloodstone, as it is a focus stone. It is not evil in itself, but it can magnify the magic used by a Mage. It has a price, as the added power will corrupt the Mage to a point of insanity, the more it is used the more insane a Mage will become. Wise Mages will use it very sparingly if at all. They would be very interested in this gem in Aluvia. If for no other reason than to put it in a safe place away from those who would abuse its power. Even an Elven Mage would be tempted!<br><br>Yes it is Vel's turn. I figure he has plenty to work with in this. I look forward to his response!

				Hey, guys! Great posts from both of you! I've been keeping tabs on the OOC conversation throughout the day, but haven't been able to respond because today has been a fairly busy day in terms of work and in terms of my poor miserable kitten. The stitches from her spaying came loose, so I had to take her back to the vet. Needless to say she's not in the best of moods right now.<br><br>I've started work on a post, and I should have it finished sometime tomorrow. After that, I have a few days to myself when I should be able to reply a little more quickly.

				I loved your post Velasterian! As far as a dance is concerned, I like the idea, what kind of music do you envision for this? All acoustic of course. Lute and Lyre, drums and maybe piano?

				Since it's a tavern, I'd imagine the dance music is fairly upbeat and jovial, the kind of music that's more about celebration and enjoyment than being slow and romantic. If I find music like that, I'll be sure to post it here.

				I finally got around to reading, sorry, was watching Rogue One tonight. XD Very very excellent post and quite well done in any event.<br><br>I can have Doryn reply, probably something short and sweet in the morning, if you'd like.<br><br>That said, Verasaille, if you'd like it seems fitting to just have Hani reply to this right off. It's pretty much directed at her and I think my post would be more interested after the two of them got off to the dance floor and Doryn has some opportunity to <em>really</em> get jealous. Maybe even have Mercedes pop back up to the table in your reply, to bring Doryn something and perhaps say something smart-assed about having put those two together if you'd like to add something like that?<br><br>(I had a bit of an interaction with the other Barmaid that I wanted to do, heh, but by the time I got to it... it was a little past time for it to have been a good addition to the scene..)<br><br>XD<br><br>But, I leave it up to you, if you'd rather I post next... more than willing to do so..

				I am willing to post a bit to keep the story moving, I can see this might be really a fun way to get Doryn to notice what he has actually done.

				Ha ha! I might be tempted to do that and have Doryn be forced into dealing with Mercy's boyfriend or something. Not sure, she could also be carrying some unspecified sex related problem like Herpes or crabs LOL. I do think that Mercy is only flirting for the gold, but if he beds her, it will be a slap in the face to Hani she might never forgive. She is already thinking he is only interested in bedding every girl in town to prove his manhood or whatever. She has not been taking him seriously because of that. If he has a chance with her at all, he has to actually make some effort to know her as someone besides an information supplier. Which he has not.<br><br>Mercy might do it for the gold, but she would not want Hani to find out. I have no problem making her an easy lay, but is that what Doryn wants? If we are going to make this a threesome thing, they have to at least be dealing with the main characters and not adding more. The trick is to make it that all three of them are interested in the idea of being together. This is a bit new to me as a writer, so I am open to what you guys think will work.<br><br>Do we need to plot out a secondary story arc to bring them together? Like an outside threat they need to address? I was kind of trying to do that with the gem idea. The Baron is kind of a loose cannon, he has designs on the throne or something?

				It is probably a little of both, Doryn not acting more like he cares for her more, and Hani not seeing the cues. Maybe a little bit of culture unfamiliarity? Yes he was flirting with her, but he has never gone any further, and she takes it as he is only interested in her for the information she gathers. Yes, misunderstandings can lead to both of them being a little bit off in perceptions. <br><br>He also has to know that she likes him as more than a friend, as she does favors for him beyond the thought of rewards of a monetary value. She certainly does not offer just any customer a shoulder massage. <br><br>I see this as leading to a showdown where both of them are getting upset, and maybe Ethirdir steps in as a peacekeeper? Not sure of this, What do you guys think?

				I shall have a reply finished up tomorrow. As for how Ethirdir would react to seeing Hani and Doryn blow up at one another, I don't see him swooping in and taking advantage of the situation to get to Hani. For one thing, she might not appreciate him trying to take advantage of her during an emotional moment. Also, it's been established that he prefers a challenge, and using something like this for his own gain would feel like cheating to him.<br><br>So I can see him stepping in and attempting to calm the two of them down, reminding them of how close they are while personally preferring them to be in a positive mental state (both of them have worked for him or helped him previously, after all, and he cherishes good business contacts). This could help endear him to the bar maid and captain, while helping lay the foundation for a budding relationship between the three of them. If this sounds reasonable, I'm all for going in this direction.

				Oh yes, I would much prefer that route. It is honorable from the Elven standpoint, and it would gain him points all around. After all, if he wants to win fair maiden, he wants to do it fairly.

It almost feels like this would benefit from a reply from you, though, to give me some cues to work off of. Doryn realizes that he's made a mistake, too, and is going to be very careful with his words and what he says. He knows that he's let his fiery passionate nature get the better of him and he has to tone it down.

				Oh yes, Mercy is far from happy. She might be a little cool to him right now. Not like she is madly in love with him, she is pragmatic enough to know she won't be getting a noble to do much except pay her to sleep with him. She was just doing her job, and got caught up in the middle. Much like the Elf, she is basically an innocent by stander.<br><br>I have to say, however, that Ethirdir is being a perfect gentleman in all this. Hani will certainly thank him and apologise to him for involving him in the middle of this meltdown. I am thinking this will either further fuel Doryn's jealousy or somehow make him realize how lucky they are that it was Ethirdir who pulled them off the dancefloor, instead of Hani's father. I thought of having the father come out of the kitchen to see what was going on. Honestly, one of you could take that role if you want. This is the way I picture him:<br><br>https://i.pinimg.com/564x/95/39/5b/95395b375e4e28b3e012559ccdc1211f.jpg<br><br>I see him as someone who is kind and gentle, until someone messes with his daughters. And yes he considers all the ladies who work for him as his daughters. He used to roam the world as an adventurer, so he is tough as nails, and loves to cook. Anyway, just a thought, if one of you wants to have him, or I can do it. I don't want to have all the fun of creating ccharacters as npcs!

				And there's my response. I decided to give an opportunity for the three of them to meet together in a more private setting, namely the Elf's home, since that's about the best Ethirdir can do to help at this point. It'll be up to Hani and Doryn to make the decision to want to reconcile, and Ethirdir can assist in the healing with his offer.<br><br>And I'm all for creating a few NPCs of my own! I've already mentioned Theolin, Ethirdir's most trusted assistant, so I think I'll flesh him out a little more, maybe have him approach Ethirdir at the Inn. He saw the whole mess from afar, and all he can ask his boss is if he caught the name of the cute girl he danced with that wasn't Hani.<br><br>(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/a5/3b/60/a53b60a8209274d5dcb7bc010df17750--fantasy-art-male-male-elf.jpg)

				I had to look it up myself! Sirus (pronounced Sigh-rus) Silverthorn, most people call him Sy.&nbsp; I hope you liked the picture I posted for him. A large man with long red hair he keeps in braids. One would take him for a blacksmith or a warrior, as he was both at one time. Now he is content to run the Inn. Getting a bit of silver in his hair, but still very vigorous and aware. Have fun with him, I think you actually hit it spot on with your post! It will be obvious to anyone who looks at them together, that Hani inherited his red hair and eye color, but her height and slender frame from her mother. She might also have inherited his temper. <br><br>I love it that Doryn went to his knees! This will impress Hani and actually she is ready to forgive him. Her father's entry was brilliant! Now I get a picture of all three of them looking like they got caught in something devious! Like three children, which they might be in Sirus's eyes!<br><br>I believe I will post something, in response. Probably not a huge post, but I feel she needs to react to this situation. Don't worry, Vel, I know you are itching to introduce Theolin. Write your post whenever and I will edit if I have to.<br><br>

				No worries, Vel! Glad you are alright. I equate dangerous storms like that with tornadoes! Where are you, if you don't mind my asking? I am on the West Coast, and yes I was in the path of the eclipse. I got to experience it, Was really awesome!<br><br>As far as your character, CS, I think he is great! The cultural clash is a good story hook. The fact he is trying to fit into the southern culture and still retain his Northern attitude is what makes him special.<br><br>Vel has a good grasp on what I perceive as the Elven world as well. Honorable, dignified and elegant, but still very much aware of all the nuances of human interactions. I do not see the ELves as above human failings, as they do take advantage of it for their own purposes. They are just as susceptible to greed, jealousy and pride, though I like to think most are very good at hiding their darker tendencies. <br><br>I am enjoying this very much!

				Double post, but it is necessary.&nbsp; ;D<br><br>So, before we end up having all three of them happy as clams, we need to build a little more plot. (And torture our characters a bit more!)<br><br>So there is the role of the Baron Ludwig Von Berenholdt. A wealthy noble who is ambitious enough to think he can usurp the Duke and gain some advantage with more power in the City. He is devious, blusters a lot and is also a little bit naive when it comes to magic. He has a little bit of talent, but not enough to truly be a threat in that way. He thinks the Bloodstone will make him really powerful, ignoring the warnings of the Elder Mages who have told him little more than the gem is cursed and should be dropped into the Sea of Storms to the south of the City and forgotten. Of course he only asked about the legend of it, not actually telling them he has one. <br><br>Hani only found out about the gem when one of her friends who works for the Baron told her about it. She saw him put it in his safe, and telling his servant Gregor Fallion that it was a very precious gem. She told Hani that the Baron had spoken to the Arch Magister who came for dinner one night. She is afraid the Baron will use the gem to gain more power. Now these are side characters, or npcs anyone can use. (Gregor and Britta) The Arch Magister who tolerates the Baron, and only keeps an eye on him at the Duke's request, I will take on the role of the Arch Mage. That leaves the role of the Duke open. They will play minor parts in the drama, but will have meetings with Doryn at times to fill him in. <br><br>In point of fact, it was the Arch Magister Quintillion who arranged for Hani to steal the gem and replace it with a harmless ruby, that he provided. He knows Hani as a very secretive agent he uses to keep an eye on the Underground activities and the safetly of the Realm. No one knows of this arrangement besides Hani and the Arch Mage. <br><br>Now I am asking you both if you want more roles to play. I will list them and if you want to take one on, let us know here. If you don't want any more roles, I can continue to use them to build the story, I have no qualms on that. <br><br>1. Baron Ludwig Von Berenholdt- Tall wealthy human with delusions of grandeur and a devious mind. Small magic talent, would be augmented by the Bloodstone, but not to the level he thinks it would be. Any other personality quirks are up to whoever takes him on.&nbsp; ;D<br><br>2. Duke Harval Winchester, a very wise and elderly gentleman with grey hair and slender build. He was a powerful general of the King's troops, earning his title in the War of the Thorns, making him the Duke of Thornwall. He has control of the Southern region by orders of the King. He has a sharp mind and keen wit. He knows of the Baron's ambition, and has assigned the Arch Magister to keep an eye on him and to report back.<br><br>3. Arch Magister Quintillion. I can take this role, but if either of you want it, we can discuss it more. He is very sharp and uses magic to scry on the Baron, and in general, he is the Duke's Spymaster.<br><br>If I am creating too much story to keep things going, let me know!

Once he discovers that his Gem is missing,-- probably, if I had to guess, after he tries to use it and fails utterly to produce any effect,-- he might want to use the City Guard to help him locate it. Except... Doryn is in charge there.. n' if he's going to investigate a theft, he needs to know what was stolen, and "a Gem" is not exactly sufficient for an investigation. He'd also have to let the Guard actually, you know, <em>investigate</em>. All things that he'd probably know about and probably be unwilling to do.<br><br>He might, instead, try to work at this from an angle,-- co-opting some of Doryn's guard assets,-- which Doryn can himself learn about through some of his loyal retainers.<br><br>Whose loyalty, of course, is unquestionable.<br><br>XD

And yes Doryn needs a friend, I can certainly see the Duke as putting Doryn in this position to help keep order in the town.<br><br>I will do the Arch Magister, a human from the Midlands who is sent here basically as an emmissary from the High King. He is friendly towards the nobles, and is indeed on an even status with them. He is a rather quiet unassuming man, but he will have agents all over the Kingdom reporting to him.

				Was an excellent post! And the reference to our story together was sweet, thank you!<br><br>CS, you have the next post, while I work out mine and the little bit I have to do for the next phase of the story. <br><br>I am trying to figure out something, so you guys don't think I am weird or anything. I want to see if I can find a layout of a city we can use, so we can kind of map where things are in relation to each other.<br>In my mind, Crescent City is large and sprawling, with lots of buildings in each area. The Upper Terrace is where most of the nobles and the Duke are located. The center area, between the docks and the Upper Terrace, is where the Merchant District has all its shops and Inns. Craftsmen and merchants live here. This is where I have the Dew Drop located. So that there is easy access from the Upper Terrace as well as the Docks.<br><br>Now the Docks are a rough and seedier part of town, where the poorer people live and the thugs and gangs run rampant. Here there are warehouses that are used to store goods that are being traded with other parts of the Kingdom. I can see an area where there is a stockyard for livestock, several smaller taverns and even a seedy Inn where travelers can stay cheap. If they are tough enough to take care of themselves.<br><br>Now as far as where people live, Hani stays in the Dew Drop as does her father. Mercy and most of the rest of the staff live in apartments in the Merchant district. Lots of people living in crowded but mostly clean and well kept rooming houses (apartments). The wealthier Merchants will have townhouses with yards and stables. They are on the fringes of the Merchant District, as close as they can get to the nobles and the Upper Terrace.&nbsp; The Elves are diplomats who have their own area, guarded by Elven and Half Elven paid guards. The Duke has a very large Keep and a full complement of military, along with the horses of his personal use and the cavalry. I want to say he has about a dozen Knights at his disposal, and they live in a special barracks, separate from the main military. They are kind of snooty, and of course Sir Doryn is one of them, but he has his own estate, as he mentioned. I am thinking his estate would border on the edge of the Merchant district, with the winery taking up several acres of land as well as his manor house and personal stable. Correct me if I am wrong and you want him to have it elsewhere. <br><br>I was even thinking of constructing the Crescent City in Minecraft...might be fun!<br><br>So for Ethirdir, I am imagining him having a large manor in the Elven District, which is close to the Merchant District. Maybe a half mile or so? The Elves are encouraged to build and expand in the city in certain areas, but of course they would not want to be too low down in the valley or near the Docks. Roads are cobblestone in the city and rough dirt outside of it. There is a main trade route that leads directly out of the Merchants District and heads towards the fertile Elmtree Valley. There are farms and of course the river runs there on its way to the Sea. The King's Road leads to the Midlands capital of Gutenburg, several hundred miles away. Lots of little towns and maybe a larger city between, but we won't worry about them. I can see the King's road having a clear and distinct route to the Docks. Other side streets of course as the city is large and spread out. There is a connecting road to the Duke's Keep that leads through the Merchant District and the ELven district, right to the Keep. If we need to name these roads later I will do so.<br><br>The reason I say these things is I want the characters to rely on either horse drawn cabs or their own horses or carriages. Walking is fine if it is a short distance. I am fine with the Elven shop being close to the Dew Drop. It is considered a merchant business. <br><br>Does this make sense to you two?

				All makes sense to me, in any event, and looks good. XD My main condition is that Doryn's Estate be a bit outside of the City itself, though he has some apartments that he stays in while he can't go back and forth, like when he's really caught up in a case or otherwise engaged in business. I picture Doryn's thing being a sort of... come into town, stay for a few days, head back out to his estate, stay there for a few days unless summoned or his presence is required, and so on. To and from Doryn's Estate, in otherwords, is a meaningful journey and probably the kind of thing that you can be ambushed while undertaking.<br><br>Hence him having, say, some kind of small residence in the city.<br><br>:-)<br><br>I'm going to have to think of my post for a bit, anyway, especially since Doryn is kind of off by himself doing his own thing in the next section. :-) If you'd like, you two are welcome to do another exchange of posts wherein Ethirdir and Hani get to know each other a bit more and engage in the sale of her stolen jewel. n' then I'll post more Doryn stuff after that...<br><br>...*hrms*.<br><br>Or I can type up a tiny tiny little bit that wraps up Doryn's part of the last scene, and sends him.. wherever.. and leave the larger "what's going on with Doryn now" bit for after the next exchange.<br><br>Just let me know what you think. XD<br><br><em>Isn't that demanding of screen-time when he doesn't strictly need it.</em>

				For the record, I was thinking of stuff that Doryn could get up into, and I was thinking back over to what we'd discussed,-- of previous romantic conquests, and Doryn's very real issues of the fact that he's a Noble now and people are trying to convince him to take a wife, and the fact that much like Ethirdir he's had a few conquests here and there. One of them, in point of fact, has been mentioned before. The Lady Elena Rockwell, whom I view as a young daughter of a prosperous and powerful merchant family. Whom Doryn, not long after becoming a Noble, managed to seduce. She's not completely obsessed with him, is <em>intent</em> that she's going to marry him, and very very much wants more of his attention and for him to stop giving that attention to other women.<br><br>*chuckles*<br><br>She probably hasn't really considered Hani a threat, really, but that might change if she hears about what happened "last night" and/or depending on the events of the story.<br><br>I get the feeling that she knows Doryn better than the Northman would like to admit, to some extent at least, and is the sort that would play a bit dirty.<br><br>:-)<br><br>(I also, earlier, had the idea of trying to get her off Doryn's back by-- later in the story,- having Ethirdir try to capture her attention or something. But, that's neither here nor there.)<br><br>Thoughts? Considerations???<br><br>In terms of appearance, I figure something like this, more or less:<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Lady Elena Rockwell</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/99/b4/d3/99b4d34ab4b28f317d8a7c2d439b4083.jpg)</div></div>

				I love the idea of a previous love interest coming back to complicate things. It probably won't do for Ethirdir to have one at the moment, since Doryn will have his hands full with his, but maybe later down the line when the three of them are starting to get really close with one another Ethirdir could be visited by someone who wishes to claim him back for herself. And maybe her motives could be a lot more dangerous, putting our hapless trio on an interesting quest to rid themselves of her. Just an idea at the moment, could be reworked as we go on, of course.<br><br>So just to confirm, will CS be writing the next reply, or will I? I'm fine either way.

				Well, you could expound on the bloodstone thing. Maybe the Baron will decide test the fake gem and find out it is not the real bloodstone. Since that is the character that Vel wanted to do, he might include it in his next post? <br><br>Or...we could find some other minor thing that Doryn needs to tend to, and it looks like he might need some help.

				Excellent, then I will start working on a post for Quillian, the Arch Mage from the Midlands Mage College. He is currently an advisor to the Duke. Basically, an Emmissary from the High King, sent to keep an eye on things in the South. He will be cordial and pleasant to the Duke, and quiet and observant in the day to day functions of the Court of the Duke.<br><br>You asked about the Duke. I think I gave a little bit of his biography on the intro, if you need more information, just ask. I want you to build that character to make it yours. He is married to a flighty noble's daughter who is more concerned with fashion and tea parties than intrigue. I am thinking she is like 20 years younger than him. You can make her as ditzy as you want. He has four children, which you can animate as you see fit. They might be kind of young, or at least not ready to inherit yet. Here, let me post what I had on first page:<br><br>The Duke, Harval Winchester, was an elderly gent with a few heirs who could hardly wait for him to pass on. His wife the, Lady Janine, seemed almost as eager, as she was far younger and had her eyes on younger replacements. He had two sons, Harval, Jr., and Jasok, who was the youngest. His two daughters, Melora and Sybil, were old enough to be wed soon and talk was that the Earl of Templeton had put forth his son Nathir for eldest, Melora, while Sybil had decided to go into the Sisters of Mercy Monastery and study as a Priestess. They did not expect any problem with the older son inheriting the title of Duke. <br><br>The way I see it, the Duke is enamored of his wife, but he also knows she is not all that bright. I see her and the children as simple minor npcs. He would be more concerned with keeping the Elves happy, being diplomatic with the outlying nations, and trying to figure out how best to tame this wild City. He put Doryn in charge for a reason, maybe there are hotbeds of insurrection against the King brewing? It has not been long, maybe thirty years, since the High King sent troops to take over the Southern port. A strategic spot to keep trade open with other nations without interference from the still hostile border kingdoms that would be coveting the Southern port. So far they do not have the troops and skills to take back the port, but they might be planning on it!<br><br><br>

				Excellent post! Vel you have the Elves down perfectly! I will be working on a post today. Both for the Arch Magister and for Hani.<br><br>Found an image for Quillian:<br><br>https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/1e/f4/60/1ef4601ebeb79f052eed92c65ad7998d--character-concept-character-art.jpg<br><br>I think he will be asking Doryn to engage in a rather risky endeavor. He has detected the presence of Drow in the tunnels beneath the city.&nbsp; Their colony is far below the surface, in the mines originally carved out by the Dwarves, who are long gone. He wants Doryn to go down into the tunnels and seal off any paths that lead to the City. But first, he will have to find out if the Drow are moving towards the surface. He thinks they are drawn by the magic in the bloodstone. The meeting I had in mind is to see if he can trust Doryn, sort of a preliminary test of sorts. He will not reveal Hani's secret until he is sure of Doryn.<br><br>It was he who asked Hani to steal it from the Baron and sell it to someone who will take it out of the city and preferably out of the Kingdom. I am thinking Quillian knows of Ethirdir, and is not concerned with the Elves. He has friends amongst the Elves, but not real close. Part of his research led him to query the Elves about the legendary Basilisk heart. They have shared what they know about it with him, and he acted on their advice, to get it out of the hands of the Baron. <br><br>How is this for Lady Elena?<br><br>https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c1/1b/7a/c11b7a335691882c65cf25ee45d28b7d.jpg<br><br>

				Oh no!! Colds in the summer are such a pain!! Did it just start? I know a few home remedies I have used for years. Eating lots of spicy food like Mexican or Indian curry type is good. The hotter the better. It also makes your nose run and gets rid of all those pesky germs. Yes I know the doctors tell you the main thing is to drink plenty of fluids and stay warm. Watch for fever though, if it turns bad, you will feel chilled even when in a warm room. Then you will need some doctor's help to get over it. Influenza is not nice and can bring you down real quick. I have had pnemonia twice. Each time in the summer when I did not even feel that sick. <br><br>Take care of yourself and we will be here when you are ready!

				You have a reply, sorry that took a bit, hopefully my turn doesn't come up again TOO quickly, but I am starting to get through to the other end of this. XD<br><br>For the record, I would like to note in terms of Doryn's storyline, while I like the whole "Drow" angle,-- and think the Arch-Mage mentioning that is a good idea, and Doryn can send some of his Guards to look into that and also make some arrangements himself,-- Doryn's own speciality these days is more crime-solving and ferreting out bad individuals rather than dungeon-delving. So I think it'd make more sense to have the Arch-Mage point him in the general direction of the bad guy.<br><br>Perhaps without a lot of detail, just to see what kind of stuff Doryn figures out on his own, sort of thing?<br><br>While keeping an eye on Doryn with his own agents (other than Hani), of course.

				I am perfectly fine with that. I hope Velestarian will make us a really nasty villian to chase!&nbsp; I think it would be fun if he set up some kind of situation where Doryn has to do something. Maybe with something going wrong and Hani being captured? Oh my mind is thinking very interesting scenes for this. <br><br>I can see maybe a rumor reaching the Arch Mage that the Baron has something else that needs to be removed from his power. Only it is just a trap to capture the thief who took the gem! Am I being too crazy with this? We may need to plot this out!<br><br>I loved your post CS. For the record, Quillian is a very compassionate and easy going guy. But he does take his duty seriously. I am open to whatever you might want him to send Doryn to do. Maybe another slave ring is moving in and they are targetting young women and taking them from the City. Several have gone missing and the Arch Mage thinks they are using those underground tunnels to move their newly captured slaves to some clandestine part of the Harbor and shipping them out. Quillian thinks that the leader of this slave ring is none other than a noble who is hiding it very well. <br><br>If you don't like those ideas, I am very open to something you want him to do. <br><br>As always, I am enjoying this very much.

				Woah, sorry to hear about your situation involving Irma, CS. The warnings regarding that storm are definitely worrisome, and it's really unfortunate that you're practically right in the storm's path. Certainly, focus on keeping your family safe and keeping an eye on the storm, and with any luck things won't be as bad as the worst case scenarios.

				I haven’t decided yet if the Baron will capture Alyssa, since it might tip off others that he is aware of their plans to steal something from him and may prompt more direct action against him. Then again, he is a twisted and proud sadist who would despise the thought of letting anyone get away from his clutches. I’ll eventually decide what to do with that.<br><br>As for Hani, I’m thinking that having her captured would be a good opportunity for Doran and Ethirdir to work together to save something very precious to them. Perhaps the Elf’s party can be an opportunity for the three to simply share each other’s company and realize how well they work together, sowing the seeds for more intimate offerings later on. Hattie could perhaps let slip she has a dangerous task going on after the party, which leads to the previously mentioned rescue. Any thoughts or suggestions?

				Was re-reading the last few posts, pondering my next reply and everything,--<br><br>--I had a rough idea that I wanted to run by you, Verasaille. Before he became a Noble, Doryn was an Adventurer. I was thinking it might be fun if Taliesian had some connection to that time in his life, perhaps a former adventuring companion in point of fact, if that doesn't step on any of your plans. XD I'm not asking for control of him or anything, heh, just wondering if my establishing that fact works with whatever else you might have planned for him and/or doesn't step on your toes in any fashion??<br><br>XD<br><br>Hope you both are have had a great weekend, BTW.

				...I actually think that Doryn is going to have to NOT immediately run up to talk to them, though, but instead "continue business as normal".

				I’m glad you’re enjoying the Baron, Vera. It’s definitely a blast bringing him to life :)<br><br>CS, the Diamond is indeed not the Basilisk Heart, but a bluff by the Baron. Basically, he is seeing if he can indirectly find the location of his Basilisk Heart by mentioning a fake theft and hoping he learns of a similar item stolen, say a red gem instead of a white one. That obviously didn’t work this time, but his second goal was to plant the idea that his tri-point amplifier had arrived. In truth, he doesn’t have one, he’s using the idea of it as bait for whoever had stolen his gem, and anyone who tries to steal it will fall into his trap. This is what I’ve been setting up for Hattie.

				Lovely post, CS. And yes, both Hani and Mercedes will be tickled with the flowers, as will all the rest of the staff. As for the deluge in flowers, it will cause a lot of giggles, and maybe a little consternation from Hani's father. Until he gets the wine delivery, then he will grin along with the rest of them. I want to say he will make some comment about that crazy Northener. Will try to get a response out later today.

				Excellent post, Vel! The intrigue is great, Hani will have to get a closer look. As risky as it is. I will leave it up to you how she is trapped. If she enters the study and it suddenly locks her inside due to magical means, that would work or even someone waiting outside the door to catch her. Working on a reply today.

				Post is up. I am sure you will catch her, Baron. Hopefully the Captain and Ethirdir get together and figure out that Hani is missing, before he does something drastic to her!

				Oh!! Nice post, CS! Do we need to do a little plotting here as to what goes down? <br><br>I am imagining the Baron close by the study waiting in the darkness to catch his thief. Or...he could have some kind of magical trap set that automatically puts her into a deep trance? His bodyguard/butler, or whoever, could whisk her away to a dungeon cell, where poor Alyssa is being kept. Then it is up to Doryn. I like where you are going with this!<br><br>It would be so fun to do that little adventurer's excursion as a side rp. What would they find? The Drow Queen and her many devout followers? You must have been reading my other rp set below the Crescent City with TyCaine! I bet he could be persuaded to join us with another little side adventure. I could bring my Elven mage, Aelyth, and Ty could bring his marvelous character Carrick. Link to the story:<br><br>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=265686.0<br><br>I leave it up to you two if we want to issue an invitation to join the rp here or set up a separate one. Both of you should have characters to join the adventurers in the UnderDark! It would make this a true group effort with at least one more person involved!

				Excellent post Velasterian! Poor Hani is not only scared to death, but totally embarassed at being caught. We can assume that since she is frozen in a pose until the minion gets her to the dungeon, she will be chained to a wall? Or in a cell next to Alyssa? Makes a difference in how I reply. <br><br>CS, you want to make a post next? I am working on something for Hani, but I am interested in what Doryn will do when he gets invited in. I might have Quillian notice the magic use and investigate. But it will be up to Ethirdir and Doryn to actually rescue Hani.

				Since Hani’s a thief, and the Baron and Gregor can safely assume she has skills picking locks, they will do what they believe is the safest option and chain her to a wall to keep her limited. Alyssa will also be in the same cell, similarly chained to a wall.<br><br>I’m still trying to figure out the best way of getting Ethirdir over to the Baron’s mansion in time. Currently the only idea I have is that Theolin caught sight of her leaving in the general direction of the area where the Baron lives, Ethirdir puts two and two together, and sets off from there. I imagine he’ll probably arrive just as things turn chaotic in the Baron’s home.

				All yours, CS. The Mage and the Duke will arrive after the rescue, it will take them some time to get to the Baron's estate. Feel free to take over the Duke's character, CS, if you want him to arrive after you have done whatever it is you are going to do.

				I'm still here as well. I've admittedly been slow as well with a lot of my writing lately, thanks to an uptick in work (I'm traveling more these days), and losing some of my writing after transferring files to a new computer.

				That was excellent, Columbo...errr. CS! He he. You did a good job. Up to Vel now to try and keep the Captain from doing a thorough search of the premises. <br><br>One question, my dear Velestarian. Will Hani be free from the restraints of the freeze action spell once she is chained up?

				Yes, Vera. Once she is chained up, the spell will eventually dissipate, as it is not meant to hold people long-term, just long enough for someone to secure them properly. So Hani will be free from the spell not long after being chained.<br><br>I am working on a reply that should be posted within the next day or so, and I fully intend to keep that window this time.
