This story doesn't need to be epic, and probably shouldn't be, for a tutorial. There can still be a skirmish with pirates, but we don't need to tackle a sea monster just yet. Plus, I think my little apostate probably wouldn't survive that  We are currently in a forest. Perhaps that is where we will encounter your elf, obsidian Gryphon?

You have set the villain, his goal / target, his devices. However, there is no location for the target. I have to presume it's off-shore, the borders do not conflict with the ally and would instead be a strategic staging area. * why is it necessary to remove this villain * who / what does he threaten that the chars must involve themselves * what are the means of removing this villain. A journey perhaps? The route? To where? To whom? * what benefits to the chars or to the people near this area that the chars will do this task Good questions! It's something I've been thinking (while studying for a small quiz nonetheless! XD) Anyway to answer: 1. The villain in question has been sinking ships near Amaranthine effectively forming a blockade and halting the movement of goods in Amaranthine. It was mostly out of vengeance for their role in exterminating pirates. The villain eventually plans on forming a full scale assault, but depending on what we do it's going to be unlikely he'll succeed, expect Tevinter to play a role in this. 2. Well...... the city really since their goods aren't going anywhere. 3. That's something I'm still thinking about, but right now the villain lives in an island with a cave that looks off. (like it's affected by the fade.) 4. Money, glory and gratitude is what I have so far. That's what I got, but I want your guy's input as well. It's your thread as much as mine!

To be honest this was (somewhat) based off my RP ideas when I was at RDF for one of my RP threads. If you guys don't want demon possessed Giant Squid, then I guess I can reduce it a bit.

I just think we need some RP experience before we tackle something that big  A smaller skirmish with some "normal" villains would be easier for people to jump into, especially for a first RP. There's nothing saying we can't return to the giant squid in the future.

It's your thread as much as mine! 1, 2, 4 will not affect the char I made. The land, the animals provide all the necessary materials / food the clan need. Wycome is not dependent on trade from Amaranthine alone. Trade routes are not single roads out of a city. The other conflict beside sea trade disruption for Amaranthine is if the target also presents a foothold into Fereldan territory to the villain's ally. In which case, the Fereldan monarchy would also be interested in what's going on over there (unfortunately Alistair never strikes me as effective, given his sad / poor performance in DAI). The Marcher Lords might or might not take an interest but they would keep an eye on developments since Tewinter is involved. dragontartare, I'm a little bemused by where your char thought she's going.

When she escaped up the tree, or where she was ultimately headed? She escaped up the tree because she can't run forever, and was hoping to hide or at least buy herself some time. What else was she going to do? She was ultimately headed for Amaranthine to find the Dalish clan she'd heard about.

If she's in Kirkwall, it follows there would be news of clans in the Free Marches as well. That's why I'm puzzled and couldn't help raising a brow at acknowledging the rule of not having too many mages in a clan. But that's just me.  Thanks for the explanation.

I wanted her to stay in the Free Marches (plus, there are other characters on the thread that are from Kirkwall, so it would have made sense), but smilesja first wanted the story in Ferelden, and then decided on Amaranthine, so I did the best I could with what I got.

Well, my character is a fighter for hire, as long as no children or nugs are involved. If there is some sort of profit or reward to be had, then she would definitely be interested.
If the pirate is wanted and the local merchants have posted a bounty? And maybe the Circle has one for the necromancer as well? That might make a good adventure hook.

dragontartare I'm gonna use telekinesis to bring you down on my next post. Is that okay? Um...no, I'd prefer you didn't do that. That'll just send my elf running at the first opportunity. She has no reason to trust someone who would manhandle her like that. She can be convinced to come out of the tree, but Adeline shouldn't talk down to her. She's 19, remember...not 9  She'd be much more likely to accept it if Adeline says she'll call in a favor later, rather than act all altruistic (even if she does intend to just be altruistic). As a city elf constantly on the run, Enathaya has no reason to believe some human would want to help her just out of the kindness of her heart. She understands deals, favors, and truces, though.

Hmmm thanks for the info on trade routes! So about a Ferelden monarchy...... Should I go for an NPC or an established character? Alistair is the established King of Fereldan, there's no getting away from it when DA comics featured this. However, that doesn't mean he has to be brought into the picture. You could use a minister of defense / trade, whatever. I'm definitely thinking I'm sitting this one out. Wycome is too far away and like I said, no reason for Elshara to go so far south. But I can play a minor char if you want to involve an official from Fereldan. It doesn't have to be a major.

Sorry I have been out all day.
Knew this would happen, yeah I am in as to the adventure.
Personally id rather be in the dark as to what the overall plot is (based on posts I got an inkling) but I will say this. Considering my character's ties to one of the possible countries involved, I can foresee him doing it out of petty revenge if it's a magister's dirty-work. Possibly glean information off of him or use him to his own gains, unbeknownst to the party.
As far as meeting up and involving oneself in the politics, I got a few ideas on that for me personally that I can type out. As for everyone else, probably see the strength in numbers as to what we have here, and go with a group so long as payment is involved at the moment, living on the road has been somewhat...draining of my funds.

Just think about for a bit Phoray's in another time zone so she'll get on the wagon hours later from now. The others have stuff to juggle so updates is going to take time. So the paintbrush is between you and dragontartare and what you two are going to paint.
