As Miri fashions rope around the wrists of a willing Ismark Kolyanovich, he stares cautiously into the eyes of the new adventurers. Many adventurers have come at strahds will, but any who have ever opposed him have met a grim fate. Before setting out into the wild, he speaks out: "Before we leave... tell me, what is the name of your company? by what name shall I call you lot? The crew traveling with my sister... they call themselves the mist walkers. "
Hey friends! At this point, feel free to discuss a name in OOC, and in your first response here be sure to include an initiative roll! you will NOT have to post in initiative order, but it will help me determine in what order all things are happening. When we are not in combat, feel free to make as many responses as you want, and provide as much dialogue or RP as you want. Once per night, I will check in and organize all of your actions/dialogue by initiative and post the results of all actions/dice rolls, as well as some story progression for you to respond to the next day. it is an entirely new format of playing so no worries if its a little confusing. Just remember, all out-of-character questions and dialogue should be made in OOC!
Callimar watches as Miri does the last knot, securing their new .... companion. "I believe the Fate Seekers is an apt name for us considering our most recent events. Though, I doubt we will stay as a group after this little ... adventure."
“Well if you are so sure that we all won’t stay together we might as well get on with it. I’m still not sure who’s side to take in all of this so I’d like to figure that out as soon as possible.” Miri begins walking down the path trailing Ismark along.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
ISMARK INITIATIVE: 6
"Now hold on! You told me you weren't allies of Strahd. I trusted you were here to help. I would be a fool to lead potential servants of Strahd right to my sister. I need a vow from each of you, whatever you call yourselves... to swear upon your own lives that you do not serve the Devil Strahd, and will not turn against me."
He looks into each party members eyes with a stern look, sizing up their integrity.
"Now also, a suggestion: Bildrath's Mercantile will offer any supplies we might need for the road to Vallaki. Additionally, I'm not too keen on traveling the Svalich road at night. Very few who camp on the road survive until morning. Perhaps we get some rest back at my mansion, and set off at dawn?"
It is just after mid-day as you all stand at the center of town discussing your next moves.
Callimar watches Miri begin to continue their journey before Ismark speaks up. He adjusts the weight of his bow on his back and gives an eye roll at Ismark's concerns. "This fool still believes he even has a chance against this Lord Strahd, but if pleasing him will let us continue our journey...,"
Callimar glances with a steely gaze to the others within their makeshift group, as if to warn them not to speak against him. 14 for Persuasion as Callimar speaks, "I vow not upon my own life, but upon my eldest brother's grave. If that is not enough of a promise for you, then maybe we do not value our siblings the same as which I believe we would."
Callimar's brother is still alive from his belief, though lost as that is Callimar's journey - to find him as he revealed when the group was speaking about their fate's. He is trying to persuade Ismark to believe him with a lie about his brother's death, hoping that Ismark has enough honor to accept the vow upon the grave of a sibling rather then Callimar's own life.
Callimar rubs at his chest where Ismark injured him earlier, though not entirely healed, it is significantly less damaged thanks to the health potion he took earlier. He nods in agreement at Ismark's suggestion for a rest. "I know we have limited time until Strahd arrives to Vallaki, but after our initial joyful meeting with Ismark, I could use a rest. We aren't entirely sure what we may run into, and I would personally like to be ready for whatever awaits."
