You come across a massive ruin of ancient design, strange sounds and lights emanate from within.

 

James Razzarnoth pulls the arrow from the bark of the dead tree he had been using for target practice. In the quiet and solitude of Malinors many forests James practices his beloved art. The Way of the Bow.

 

This day was not to pass as anything ordinary however, in the distance a bright blue luminesence parts through the vines of a nearby cave entrance. Out of curiosity and a taste of Adventure lingering in his mouth he presses onwards, parting the vines as he enters the darkness beyond.

 

After a few moments he finds the source of the curious lights and noise. A strange ruin marked with seemingly Ancient symbols. His heart filling up with excitement he runs outside, marking the location on his map and making due haste back to the Delvers camp, intent on informing his superiors. 

 

While at a local bar you see two dark hooded figures in the corner discussing in a whispered conversation. You can't quite make out what they're saying but you clearly hear the word "artifact".

 

 James sits in the Tavern with his Mug of Ale. After a long day with the Delvers he had finally earned some downtime. Not that he wouldn't mind carrying on with his duties, he did however like the quiet time to himself for once. He closed his eyes taking in the surrounding atmosphere, barkeeps passed by, serving drinks and appetising meals to customers, who like himself were retiring for the day.

 

Then something caught his ear, off in the corner of the room a hushed conversation was being had. James pulled out his knife and lifted it to his face, pretending to examine it. In reality he was using the reflection from knife to look into the corner of the room behind him where two hooded figures sat talking in hushed tones. James let a smile pass across his face as the word "Articfact" comes to ear. Standing from his position he leaves a few coins on the table before passing outside looking for a suitable candidate for his task.

 

Then he found a small child, after explaining what had to be done the boy rushed inside. The next few moments were quiet when shouting could be heard from inside, James clutched his dagger turning to look through the door, the boy came running out and the Hooded figures took their seats once more.

 

After a quiet conversation the boy revealed what little information he had extracted, James gave the boy some coin and a loaf of bread before going on his way to deliver what little information he could gather about this "Artifact".

 

Walking down the Anthos Highway you come across a masked man with a sword threatening a hooded figure, claiming he is a necromancer.

 

James walks briskly down the Anthos Highway, carrying some supplies for the Delvers, he had journeyed to the various kingdoms going about his daily routine of buying and trading various goods he had come across on his travels. As well as taking the time to repair some of his more necessary gear. Up ahead a crowd there seemed to be a commotion going on. As he neared closer to the supposed conflict there was a flash of light as the sun reflected off a steel sword about to strike. James stepped forward reaching for his bow before realising he was to close. He shouted out instead 

 

"Hey! You! Stop what you are doing!"

 

The masked man turned from the necromancer but kept his grip firmly around the hooded mans throat. 

 

"What do you want? Mind your own business and get lost, this man is a Necromancer and i plan on ending his practices rather permanently"

 

James stepped closer, he was trying to look under the mans hood, but in honesty he did not have to try very hard. The mans hood was completely torn and ripped all over. It looked as if it belonged to but a peasant.  The Masked man turned his attention away from James, lunging forward to the Hooded man. James dropped his gear and threw himself towards the Masked man,.

 

After a brief struggle James was thrown to the ground, he stood no chance in a close quarters fight and he knew it. He knew this man was not a Necromancer it was obvious. James stood up to see the Hooded man fleeing, a skeleton had seemingly manifested into a humanoid figure from a pile of bones nearby. The Masked man lay dead before him

 

"What in the name of Aeriel.."
 

James had no choice but to run, so picking up his supplies he high tailed it out of there.

A message is nailed up to various walls around the newly inhabited ruin.

 

"A message for all Mageshields. Those who find the guild five new capable (active) recruits, as well as show basic leadership skills will be promoted to the rank of captain. Additionally, those who manage to do so in the next elven week will receive an additional reward from the Mindlord Polgrath."

Smoke picks up one of the letters. He reads through the text and detail before delivering a silent nod to himself, letting go of the feeling around his right hand in order to allow the paper to blow to the winds. He turns his attention to the road ahead, his eyes narrowed and prepared for any new journey ahead.

 

"I better go congratulate the new High Mageshield..."

The promised white dove comes swooping down. It holds a small piece of parchment of it's left leg. It lands before you and steps closer. Upon unhooking the note and opening it you would read:

 

Dear James,

 

You have hearby been summoned to the ruins of Ac'Talarah in order to begin your initiation into the guild. Upon arriving you will find an initiate's uniform waiting for you. I expect that the next time we meet that you will be properly dressed in uniform. I also ask that you come without a hood as you will have nothing to hide from your fellow shields. This is merely an initiation and not yet a full acceptance into the guild. Once you arrive you will need to seek out someone in order for a bunk to be set up for you.

Malin send speed your way.

You come across a massive ruin of ancient design, strange sounds and lights emanate from within.

 

Allanon stops his adventure through the forest, and stares at the ruin, thinking what to do, he heads inside,  he draws his dagger and quickly heads inside,  he walks for what seems like hours, and has delved deep into the ruin.

 

Allanon stops, seeing the lights emiting from a room, he paused momentarily, and sneaks his way, back to the wall, when he reaches the door, he quickly takes a step out and turns. Nothing, he finds nothing, the room is empty, annoyed, he walks out side, but the lights emit again, so Allanon,  walks back the way here came, remembering the exact way in which you go to get there, for another day.

 

While at a local bar you see two dark hooded figures in the corner discussing in a whispered conversation. You can't quite make out what they're saying but you clearly hear the word "artifact". 

'
After hearing the word artifact,  Allanon walks outside and sits down, he wistles, a raven flys down and lands next to him. 

About an hour passes and the men leave, he tells the bird to follow them, and then he strolls off to see the rest of the city, 

 

The next day his bird returns, he finds out the men were writing a book, an adventure to be exact, and they were discussing it on a cold night at a tavern.

 

 

Walking down the Anthos Highway you come across a masked man with a sword threatening a hooded figure, claiming he is a necromancer.

 

Allanon quickly dives behind a tree, taking out his bow, he nocks an arrow, and slowly comes out, 'OI! You there, what are you doing!"

 

"This isnt your concer-" he turns and sees the arrow pointed at him, "What are ye doing? This man is a nercomancer" the hooded man exclaims,  "Let go of him I'm sure you dont need anymore problems." Allanon calmly stats.

 

The hooded man drops the man, but charges at Allanon, He fires the arrow, hitting the man in the thigh, dropping him,  Allanon walks over and helps up the other man  "Go" he warns him.

 

Allanon continues his path, knowing the hooded man will be found, he's on a very busy road.

[Stag 3230]

A white dove circles around. It has been given the task to locate the one named Allanon.

Circling overhead it tucks down and lands in front of a figure. By chance the figure is none but Allanon. Attached to the leg of the dove is a note.

 

It reads:

 

Dear Allanon,

 

I would like to invite you to join us in our adventures. Our base is located along the Malinor road near Witch wood. Your first test is to find us. In doing so you will seal your right to begin your initiation. I hope your heart begs for adventure and to see you in the halls of Ac'Talarah soon.

• No one is to build or expand anything in the base unless instructed to.

Short Response for all Applicants, write how ye
would respond:

You come across a massive ruin of ancient design,
strange sounds and lights emanate from within.

I would slowly but surely make my way down the ruin.
As I look around the walls, I see strange hieroglyphics and artifacts, but I
can’t make sense of them, so I keep going deeper into the ruin.

As I keep walking towards the light within the ruin,
the sounds get louder. It sounds like ancient chanting, but I do not see anyone
near me. Just to be sure though, I keep my hand on my sword.

I finally see what has been making the noise. It is
a strange glowing artifact. The sounds of chanting are coming from within. I
stare at it for a while, then decide it’s probably best to inform the Delvers,
so I mark where I was, and head back to the Delvers’ dwellings.

While at a local bar you see two dark hooded figures
in the corner discussing in a whispered conversation. You can't quite make out
what they're saying but you clearly hear the word "artifact".

I sip my drink and wait quietly for them to leave. I
wait a few seconds, and then head out myself, and start following them, hoping
to eavesdrop on their conversation. They start walking towards a giant mountain
and while following them, I hear three words: Artifact, Money, and Power. I
think to myself “This artifact, if it is what I think it is, must not get in
the wrong hands.”

I follow the men into a pitch-black cavern, but I
hear what seems to be more people inside. I alone couldn’t handle several men
at once, so I hurry back to the base, and inform more Mageshield and Delvers.

 

Walking down the Anthos Highway you come across a
masked man with a sword threatening a hooded figure, claiming he is a
necromancer.

I walk over to the two men and start talking:

Aldwin: “Hey, what are you doing to that poor fellow?!”

Masked Man: “It’s none o’ yer business, just tying
up some loose ends.”

Aldwin: “Well- *Draws sword* -I can’t just let you
hurt this poor man and stand by.”

Masked Man: “Oh yea-“ *He chokes and falls to the
ground*

Hooded Figure: “What happened?”

Aldwin: “I don’t know, but I would run if I were
you, I think there’s an assassin nearby”

*Both men run in opposite directions, Aldwin back to
his living quarters*

[WuHanXianShi14 0]

A bird returns to Aldwin.

 

"You may come to Ac'talareh, report to High Mageshield Hera for a uniform and a bunk. We are along the road from cloud temple to Malinor, send us a bird for more specific directions."

Short Response for all Applicants, write how ye would respond:

You come across a massive ruin of ancient design, strange sounds and lights emanate from within.

I wield my dagger in preparation to defend myself if necessary. I slowly make my way in to the ruin in as my curiosity takes over. I adopt a crouched position and get low as I walk, to avoid making any noise that may disturb anything in the ruin. I carefully watch where I am stepping to avoid anything that may harm me. I hear a loud shriek from a beast deep inside the cave that seems to be communicating with another and it  startles me. I am sure not to make any noise when I react and continue deeper into the cave to investigate.

 

While at a local bar you see two dark hooded figures in the corner discussing in a whispered conversation. You can't quite make out what they're saying but you clearly hear the word "artifact".

I order a drink and sit down at a table across the room from the men, but they are still in my line of sight. I try not to look at them too much as it could raise their suspicion. I wait for the men to get up and leave the bar and once they are far enough, I slowly make my way behind them. I try not to get too close and make it obvious that I am following them. They make their way out of the city to a nearby cave. I follow them from afar but keep them in my field of vision. They make their way into the cave. I take a deep breath, gather myself, and slowly make my way inside, not knowing what to expect.

 

Walking down the Anthos Highway you come across a masked man with a sword threatening a hooded figure, claiming he is a necromancer.

I shout, "Hey you! Leave that man alone right this instant! The Masked Man grabs The Necromancer by the throat, choking him. He turns to Dion and says, "Who are you to tell me what to do?"

Dionysius runs up to the man, pointing at the necromancer,  "This man is a necromancer. I strongly  advise that you leave right now or this man's arcane ability will be the least of your worries." he says in a serious tone.

The man grins and replies, "You can't be serious! You're a joke." Dionysius replies, "If this was a joke, would I have a dagger pointed at the side of your torso?"

The man looks down at the dagger pointed towards him. He can feel a cold sweat running down his forehead. "I s-suppose not." "Good. Now leave."

 The masked man releases his grip on the Necromancer's neck, turns around and with a brisk pace, walks away without looking back.

"The Necromancer says with a look of relief, "Why thank you kind sir! One more minute and I would have been unconscious!" as he gasps for air.

Dion smiles, "Anything for an arcane brother." and walks off.

You come across a massive ruin of ancient design, strange sounds and lights emanate from within.

After going inside these ruins I see great runes all around the ruins interior, with hurry I head back and tell a Delver about my findings.

 

While at a local bar you see two dark hooded figures in the corner discussing in a whispered conversation. You can't quite make out what they're saying but you clearly hear the word "artifact".

After a long day's work protecting a Delver on the way to Malinor I go to the bar for some long needed rest. After finishing my drink I stand up and get ready to leave towards home. Right as I'm about to leave the tavern my elf ears pick up the word artifact. I head towards the men talking about something about a artifact.

 

Analith- Hello Gentlemen, I couldn't help but over hear you talking about some artifact.

 

Older man- Why yes, why would a wood elf like you be intrested though?

 

Analith- Oh, it's just that I've always been interested in the arcane arts and I'd like to know where you found this and what it does?

 

Older man- Well me and my friend here found it deep in the mountains of Oren, we left it there since it was stuck in some obsidian.

 

Analith- Why thank you kind sir! I'll go and see it for myself. Here have this *puts some minas on the table and walks away*

 

Walking down the Anthos Highway you come across a masked man with a sword threatening a hooded figure, claiming he is a necromancer.

 

While on my way to go escort a Delver to some ruins I see a masked man harassing what seems to be a necromancer from the looks of it. He seems to want to cause harm to him.

 

Analith- Why are you doing this? *draws out bow in case of a fight*

 

Masked man- He's a necromancer and should be killed for his ungodly acts of raising the dead! *starts to swing sword*

 

Analith- *with lightning speed I notch an arrow and shoot, aiming for the mans wrist*

 

MAsked man- *sword falls to the ground and he starts screaming in pain*
