You have traveled from the Sword Coast to this small but sturdy Castle, seeking your fortune and some adventure among the wild lands here. This castle is 390' across (approximately), with a huge stable to the right of the entrance, accessible by a moat surmounted by a planked bridge which can be drawn up at need. Inside, you see the one story half-moon shape of the Citadel Union (the rounded side facing the entrance of the castle), and further back from the entrance, two multiple story towers, one belonging to Herzog Akitrom of three levels, the other to the local college of mages, having five.
The castle is surrounded by a level dirt track, and beyond that, a moat. shortly behind the moat lies the outer wall of the castle.
Currently, the area around the castle is shrouded in Arctic cold and snow (though it was warm and sunny just a few miles away. The wind is blowing at a frigid 35 mph and and out of the wind, it is -21 degrees. Obviously, this is just one of the many problems to afflict the castle!
@LadyRhian - Would that be degrees in Fahrenheit or Celsius?
IC:
Khalid shudders in the cold and pulls his cloak closer around himself, used to much warmer climates as he is. His shines up visibly as the keep comes into view.
"Ahrrm, we should hurry and see what q-q-quarters they have p-prepared for the new arrivals, yes?" He says to his companions, already dreaming of a warm fire to heat himself up by.
"Why do we stand here when there is evil in need of Minsc's boot just ahead?"
The wall of the castle is perhaps 25' feet high, and you see what looks like a human figure patrolling the top of the castle. The wall seems to be made of some sort of brickwork and there is a cleared area of approximately 500 yards is all all directions around the castle. There is one man standing next to the stables by the front gate. He seems to be wearing fur-lined clothing, including a cloak with a hood, muffler and gloves, coat and heavy boots. He has a small shack by the moat to stand in to be out of the weather, although it isn't going to be of much use today, you think.
This cold rain reminds me of a shower I didn't take last week! Not to mention the coat I didn't think of buying when accepting to go on this adventure. I suppose we should talk to this man, if we don't intend to spend the night outside...
"Hmm?"
Offers he the flask to the others.
*Burp!* Sorry, turnip reflex.
OOC: With a gesture Jan politely refuses to drink.
@LadyRhian have you head something from Kaisc006 already?
I've been away from the boards for a while but it is great to see you back DMing. When a space opens up can Alora join the fun?
Thanks that is great. I think I have 60 skill points to spend at first level so I will put 30 points in Find/remove traps and 30 points in open locks. I would like my weapon skill to be in sling.
I don't know how much equipment I can afford so I have put it in order of importance (just leave out anything which is beyond my means):
I would like rations (in the form of chocolate cake), a water skin (containing elderflower cordial), a backpack (in the shape of a cuddly cave bear), leather armour, a short sword, a sling and bullets, thieves' picks & tools, 50' rope, a small sack (for all the treasure I expect to find), a tinder box , a torch, a metal mirror, iron spikes and a small hammer.
And with that Alora is ready to join the party!
@LadyRhian - For Jaheira - adventurer's pack, but she needs no cuddly bear shape for this, as she can readily turn herself into a real one. Studded leather with a club and small shield (stowed). She's carrying (in hand) a quarterstaff, that doubles as a walking stick.
As for the cold, her half-elven blood only helped offset the chill to an extent. Tempted to become a bear for its added protections, she held firm, for Khalid was often unsettled when she appeared any differently than she now did. How things had changed from a time when his (or anybody else's) concerns would be cast aside and ignored at a whim. He might never know how her devotion to him made things different, but she did; that was the only thing that mattered...
...aside from this accursed cold... Her reverie, and attempted instruction of Minsc, was cut short by the exclamation from the party's annoying bundle of energy. "I have precious little time for child's play," she scoffed, mostly because of her frustration at the weather and not because of any particular issue with Alora. To put it simply, she was in what Khalid semi-affectionately referred to as one of her moods - a term that usually earned him a bruise (or worse), but which was -nevertheless- true.
*edit to add Alora! Let's RP!*
