"Enough young ones," Dungeon Master stated over the din of bagpipes and ringing swords. "It is time to explain to you the reasons you have been brought to the Realm." Everyone's ears perked up at thought of some sort of explanation. "Contrary to your suspicions, I did not bring you to the Realm...but I did know you were coming. You are no doubt aware of the original group that protected the Realm for so many years. Well, Venger's powers have grown exponentially since the children found their way home. The Realm, itself, could no longer stand for Venger's reign. It brought you....Minstrel, LoreKeeper, Link, Fairy, Swordsman, Berserker, Bubbles, Adventurer, Zeo here to save it," he stated pointing to each member in turn. "It's quite possible more will join you throughout your journey. I had hoped that I would have time to teach you, but the need has become too great. There is a kingdom, not far from here, that has been a bastion against Venger's new Empire in this region. Its ruler, King Zaramedes died several weeks ago and was succeeded by his daughter, Diana," he explained. Zak was writing furiously in order to keep up with the yammering man, but paused and smiled at the mention of Diana. "That's right LoreKeeper, King Zaramedes named his daughter after THAT Diana. She is Diana but she isn't. In fact, she plans to sign over the kingdom to Venger in 8 days hence. Your fate, young ones lies with the survival of the last kingdom. Five of you must go to Yarfell, the capital, and discover and put a stop to this." Dungeon Master explained at length.
"Do not worry, the others will join you...but they must delve into the Lost Glade and enlist the help of a kindly sorceror and friend, Gareth. He lives west of here past the Bullywug swamp. He might be able to aid you quest to save Yarfell. Both, quests are frought with peril. Venger's agents are already in Yarfell, so you must be careful. I don't think I need to warn you about Bullywugs." Dungeon Master took a deep breath as the Young Ones looked at him curiously, "Well, I can't be cryptic ALL the time...its hard. Divide yourselves up as you wish...but remember the nature of your quests. Only one grouping is correct."
"One grouping!" The Adventurer moaned.."So let me get this straight...What the..? Ah man...he's gone!"
Long OOC...beware..
((Ok, since Zak always seems to be everywhere... so I thought I might make a valiant effort to get the ball rolling. Where the story goes from here is up to the writers Anyone can play NPCs, Venger, Bullywugs...whatever...just keep in within reason. I will do my best to keep up with everyone. If I seem to slow or disappear...someone just hop in the drivers seat and direct the story. Oh and I think it would be helpful if we had a list of everyone's e-mail so that the players can talk amongst themselves if they wanted to set something up...or whatever. If that sounds like a good plan...send your addy over to CircleofPower1@aol.com and I will put them together and send the compilation back out. Remember to include your character name though... I promise I won't post them anywhere....it'll be just for our reference. Of course anyone who doesn't want to, doesn't have to.))
