The rest of the city was meant to be closed while this particular section was running. There WAS an announcement to that effect, but it seems to have run out. We'll get to those in just a second, when this event actually ends.
OOC: sorry, didn't see that. I will just continue as if I hadn't left?
Deth turns to Erin. In a seemingly bored voice, he states "Are you ready to depart?
Also, how do you fight? My spells are mostly to destroy the opponents creatures, one by one. Before major we reach major conflict, should we work out a plan?"

Time flys like an arrow. Fruit flys like a banana.
If you haven't been paired yet, lemme know. If you have, engage your partner with conversation so I know everyone's on.
Erin, upon being asked how she fights, proceeds to copy Deth's current stance and mannarisms to a T. Even opening her mouth to copy his speech. Without saying anything, of course.
OOC: The following players were in this thread when the orb fight started.

I don't know what everyone's character name is.
Eight players have been paired. I have one of the level 1 characters who hasn't.
Cyouni glances over at the mage he's been paired with, thinking back to the fight with the orb to gauge his power.
Analysis: Uses white and black mana. Church motif. From the brief time he spent in Ravnica, one thing comes to mind: Orzhov. But it'd be better to not guess, for now at least.
Seems relatively powerful. That angel, at least, was more than a little dangerous.
He takes a few steps to bring himself closer to the leonin and states, "I am Cyouni, member of House Shimia."
As Cyouni draws closer, Mar takes the opportunity to quickly evaluate the man he has been paired with, taking a moment before placing him as the one with the distinctly glowing hand, then recalling the spirit he summoned to recover from the Orb's obliteration. Overall, not someone to be trifled with, but then, neither am I. I think I can work with him.
"As am I," Mar replies, offering his hand to shake, "though I was not often at the House. That is an interesting tattoo you have; does it channel your spells or just your power? But I forget my manners. I am Mar Johan, but please, call me Mar." Mar smiles, genuinely. "I am ready to begin the hunt to those who would assault the foundations of the City as soon as you are."
Korlash: If you do not have a group to go with, come to me. You...
He points to the lizard-folk, "Will go with them." He points to Xen and Kennar.
His eyes rake across the group. "The rest of you will be given a chance to get an additional spell, to keep you alive. Then you'll be leaving. Make your preparations."
For now, this thread is complete. All participants (that is, actually playing right now) get 3.5 exp. You also have a coupon for 1 satchel point worth of spells that you can use. The new threads will be going up soon.
So...what's actually going on with my character, in OOC terms? Should I wait for a quest thread or just retire until more activity picks up in this WP?
For that day, you're encouraged to partake in the time-honored RPG activity called 'get to know the guy who's covering your ass'.
That's the thing...I haven't actually been told to party up with anyone.
I'm assuming it's because I'm too low-level to be of any use, which is why I volunteered to retire my character (so you mods have less work to deal with).
Quite pleased with the opportunity to study with the flamekin, Flame Tongue moves to his side once again, completely ignoring the monk with whom he will also be working. Kennar, wasn't it? You'll have to teach me a thing or two of what you did back there.
Polite, yet efficient. If only more were that way, Cyouni notes as he takes the proffered hand. His grip is firm, yet not overpowering. "A pleasure." He means it, unlike some others he'd said it to in the past. "We can begin any time, then."
"This, by the way," Cyouni holds up his left hand, "isn't to focus power. It's more like a filter."
Kennar gives the vashino a noncommital grunt. "There's no trick. It's about what magic you know. Find the most powerful spells and buy them to become stronger. There are other ways of gaining magic but I wouldn't recommend them. They usually have a higher price than gold."
Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p
"I see..." deth says slowly "It seems that we may be relying on our opponents to cast powerful creatures to copy, or try to win a battle of attrition. Are you prepared to depart?"

Xen smirks as the Viashno passes by ignoring him. Amused Xen followed up behind the Viashno towards the Flamekin. Hearing Kennar's response his smile faded a bit as he recalled recent events in Ravnica. Then looking at Kennar's form the smile vanished as he realized how far the Flamekin had changed from what he had seen on Lorwyn.
What did he sacrifice...?
The question was left unasked though as Xen focused on their mission. He evaluated the two at his side before introducing himself saying, "Xen Anastan of House Shanodia, I understand we'll be working together. Normally I would not ask this but recent events have showed me that dancing around facts can be fatal. So I ask, how skilled are you two and what is the extent of your spell knowledge? What forms of magic do you excel at or specialize in?"
I have only just arrived to the guild city, human, though I plan on acquiring some new spells before we depart. As for my specialty... The viashino flashes a toothy grin I burn things.
You summon creatures, I hope? I do love a good body to carry my flames to the enemy.
How should we go about utilizing our spell-buying opportunity? Are we awaiting an announcement of store openings?
"Pleasure to meet you," Zalara says, returning the handshake from Tai. "From your markings and your prowess in the earlier fight, I can tell you are a very powerful green mage. Among the most powerful of us gathered here."
Indicating herself, "I am Zalara, a shaman of the elemental flame. I have only been in Estark a short while, but I will do my best to be of assistance."
Proceed to the stores after you finish with role playing. Send a PM to all WPLs with your old character sheet listed first, purchases and changes (including XP gained from this thread), followed by your updated character sheet.
Xen nodded and ignored the stress placed upon the word human.
If he thinks lowly of me because I'm human then so be it.
"I'm not your traditional green mage. Contrary to any stereotypes you may have, I rarely summon a normal creature. Typically I'll summon an elf or two followed by insects. From there I can remove, restore, and replenish our reservoir of magic as well as deprive other casters of a chance to cast. My utility is vast and potent. I even have a few spells that should extend your spells even further." replied Xen.
Kennar smiles at Xen. "Combat magic. Specifically combat against other mages and any creatures they summon. I can deal with a lot of summoned creatures at once, and I can use my magic to quickly take down a single mage without much trouble. More than two enemy spellcasters at one time and I might struggle. But I suppose that's why we're working as a team."
Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p
My helpdesk should you need me.
Deth turns to Erin. In a seemingly bored voice, he states "Are you ready to depart?
