  1. Chapter I - The awakening

     

    It all started back in kindergarten. Ronald and his gang of bullies pushed Lucy and took her lollipop. The poor girl could do nothing but sob. Joshie and Lucy had been friends since babies. He observed it all from behind a tree, and a fire grew inside of him. He rushed at the three juvenile villains and, with tears in his eyes and his fists closed tightly, he hit Ronald right on the chin.

     

    Of course, the blow did not disturb Ronald at all - Joshie was a sickly looking boy, much shorter and leaner than Ronald. He got beaten up that day, and discovered that, despite his strong will, he had no physical prowess to be a fighter.

     

    Chapter II - Justice is served

     

    After months of planning, Joshie put his plan into motion. Ronald and his friends took the bait and went alone into the woods. Greg was the dumbest of them all, and also the first to go down. They barely had gotten to the agreed spot and Greg already fell straight into the pitfall, breaking one of his legs. Jonas tried to help him, but ended up being struck by a dart on his neck. Barely being able to stand up due to the drowsiness, he fell to the ground short after.

     

    Ronald was now left all alone. He knew he had been set up, but by whom? Who was this unseen enemy? Leaping down from a tree branch, Joshie hit straight on the head with a large club, just as Ronald looked up to see his face. Ronald fell unconscious immediately. The three bullies now lay bent and broken. Justice had been served.

     

    Chapter III - The training begins

     

    He had made up his mind. He would become a paladin of Tyr, become a bringer of justice and help those in need. He went to the church of Tyr, with a resolute expression on his face.

     

    "He can barely hold the sword up with those tiny arms!" they said. "Poor little fellow will be crushed under the weight of the armor!" they laughed. "I'm sorry son, but The Lord must have other plans for you. I'm afraid you will never make it as a paladin. May I suggest the ecclesiastic services? You seem like a well-educated lad, after all." was what the high priest told him.

     

    Devastated by these news, he ended up working under the guidance of the high priest. But after his work hours, he had decided not to let others choose his destiny for him. If they would not train him, he would train himself. He would bring Justice to the evil-doers. He would stop evil with his own hands. He would no longer be Joshie, but Joshua, The Shadow Vigilante.

  2. It's surely been a lot of fun. Grolla will miss her friends... If any of you are up for a game, send me a PM, we can try to get a small group and schedule something.

     

    Thanks everyone, especially Mykkal and Grace for running the game and providing us so many nice moments.

  3. I'd like to apologize aswell for missing several sessions. There's a whole lot going on in my life right now and sadly my playing time is close to none.

     

    Things will probably get better in July, so I hope to catch you then and whenever I can.

  4. I'm no expert here, but from what I know:

     

    1. Yes, it is a free server.

     

    2. I do not know of a character limit. If there is one, it's high enough not to bother me.

     

    3. There are yes special sub-races (fairy, brownie, drow... I don't know all of them) but anything aside the NWN featured ones requires special application. Same goes for evil-aligned characters.

     

    4. The only crafting system I have experience with here is the baking system, which is very good for providing supplies - baked goods work as potions. I know the whole crafting system is being revamped and I believe they'll be expanding it. Since this is a RP server, it is possible to be a pure artisan/trader, but since the community is small there'll be limited player interaction most of the time.

     

    5. The player/DM currency are RP gems, earned by participating in DM games. You can use them to buy benefits such as character housing, private sessions with DMs, special items... There is a free persistent chest mechanism and yes, there are player-run businesses, but I'm not sure how that works.

     

    6. Traveling is NOT safe for lower levels. I reccomend getting at least level 5 are some supplies before hitting the road. At character creation you are forced to go to Sidonia's Castle to learn more about the server and be able to train in a safe environment. After that, there are portals at the entry area which can bring you to many other cities, but the roads back to Annakol City are usually very dangerous so I wouldn't recommend it at lower levels.

     

     

    As I said, I'm no expert here but I think this clarify most of your doubts. I'm sure the DM will be willing to give you a tour around the server are give you a greater insight on the whole crafting thing.

  5. Archery practice:

     

    Week 1: Still practising, slowly improving my aim. This will surely take some time.

     

    Week 2: 42 is not good enough, I need a higher score if I'm to join the Queen's Tournament.

     

    ...

     

    Week 5: 48! I'm getting closer to my goal, finally understanding the path of the wind, becoming one with the arrow.

     

    ...

     

    Week 8: That's it! I'm giving up, it's impossible to get this perfect score! Guess I'm going to the tavern to drink my sorrows away. Perhaps playing some darts. Darts are fun, alright. Yeah... wait, what?? FIFTY!!! I GOT A FIFTY!!! JASON DID YOU SEE THAT?? A FIFTY!!! Whoaa... perhaps I drank too much.

     

    ooc: screenshot coming soon!

  6.  

    A very long time ago there was a character builder tester, back where the custom classes were new - just to test them - however that is long gone and no longer needed.

     

     

    That is what I was wondering, perhaps make it a downloadable module to run offline, like those cep starter modules, just so we can know the custom classes better. I know they've been out for a long time already, but new players like myself are still quite clueless.

  7. Name: Grolla Groll

    Race: Half-orc

    Class: Barbarian

    Occupation: Baker

    City of origin: Bree

    Brief bio: Found yet a baby by a ranger in an abandoned orc camp, Grolla was raised by a simple family in Bree. Even though not very bright, she managed to get a job at an old lady's bakery, mostly carrying stuff around -- after all, she was very strong. Lately, she has been allowed to help in the kitchen. Baking calms her down when she's angry, and nobody likes to see her angry.

  8. Don't know where to post it, guess this is the appropriate place.

     

    My character is stuck in the Shire. Soon after I got there, the game crashes. I can log in again, but if I take one or two steps, the game crashes again. Don't know what caused it and now I'm stuck there. Any thoughts?

     

    Edit: Problem solved. Just go the Options Menu -> Video -> Advanced -> Disable Shiny Water, then restart the game. Props to Malishara :)

  9. I've been long looking for a nice NWN RP server and this one seems to be quite a nice one. I have just signed in today and I'm looking forward to seeing you folks around. Errr, I don't really have much to say but I hope you'll be able to help me through the basics in-game. Regards from Brazil!
