If so what form of magic ye use?: I use the ancient magics of air evocation

 

Do ye seek adventure, knowledge, and companionship?:
Yes, I do, as I would not be living without these three things. I seek ancient knowledge and to learn secrets unknown to the common people.

What combat skills have ye?  Blake is handy with the sword and axe, he is wishing to learn air magic though but he uses a one handed sword on his right hand and an axe or tomahawk in his left hand. He uses this in order to deflect blows and deal blows quickly and with ease.

 

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

 

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

 

Blake slowly walks up to the massive ruins of ancient design with great intrest and a curious look on his face looking at the ancient symbols on the walls of it and feel the engravings actually being able to feel how old it is as the rock crumbles right under his finger tips and an ancient pillar about the size of a man falls ontop him but he quickly jumps out of the way hearing the creak of it as it falls with a great sound on the ground. He slowly looks up his eyes widen as he looks inside the ruins seemingly in a trance he slowly walks towards the light he hears whispering as he gets nearer and nearer but the second he is about to step inside the ruins where the light is coming from he snaps out of it and rubs his temples having a slight headache. He realizes he must notify someone before exploring the caves and catacombs. He marks the location in his map he has and walks off to notify the delvers to form a full expedition of the ruins to find what hidden and ancient secrets and artifacts they may find.

 

 

2.)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".

Blake listens into the conversation of the hooded figures and hears the word artifact. He was originally suspicious that they were up to no good and decides to listen in very intrigued about this. He listens in and faintly hears the words "Behind malinor" He tries to listen in closer but cant make out the other words they say. He slowly inches closer listening in  he hears the words "The ruins hold the secret" once he hears this he jumps up out of his chair and makes his way to them to try to speak with them. He is smiling heavily wanting to speak with them, but as he makes his way closer and closer he slowly wobbles until he finally falls to the ground and blacks out. He wakes up with a great gasps and flails around. He looks to his side and there is a strange woman next to him he is inside his house he shakes her shoulder not knowing who she was thinking she was some wench he met in the bar and that he was drunk last night. The woman grumbles and turns around to show a face of a heavily demented womans face, her face is all skeleton and bone with some flesh hanging off he is frightens and jumps out of his bed looking around to find his room filled with dead bloodied bodies stunned he blacks out again. Once again he wakes up from a large gasp and looks around. He is in his manor in Abresi. He looks around to his side and around his room, he is alone noone there. He is stunned thinking it was just a dream but still intrigued as he has never had a nightmare or dream like that. He thinks back to what the hooded men said. "Behind malinor,  the ruins hold the secret". He walks out of his bed and makes a journey to the elven lands of Malinor, looking for ruins they spoke of in his dream thinking it may be a sign to something greater, maybe holding ancient knowledge ot be unfolded.

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

 

Blake sees this and quickly draws his sword making his way to the two and pointing his sword to the masked man. "What the hell is happening here? Why are you attacking this man?". The masked man looks at blake with anger and points to the hooded figure. "This F*cker is a Necromancer , kill him wont you? I dont want my blade to get dirty". The masked man lowers his sword and points to the hooded man.  "Do it" The masked man quickly, eyes widen he looks at Blade blood running down his eyes and mouth. He tries speaking words but only air comes out, mouthing the words. "Save me". The masked man falls to the ground revealing a knife to his back at his heart. The hooded figure looks at Blake a bit annoyed. "If you try that you will die just like this man ere". Blake looks at him a bit scared and asks "What was that?"

"Dont worry about it, leave if you want to live." Blake hurridly high tails it to the other direction about 5 steps the other way he turns his head around and sees the man in the hoods dragging the dead body to a dark ally way a blood trail following where they go. Blake doesnt want to know what is about to happen but stops in his tracks. Blake works up the courage to turn around and walk to the allyway drawing his bow, he creeps up to the edge of the allyway notching an arrow into his bow quickly turns and fires the bow at the allyway. The arrow zooms across the allyway hitting the wall and getting wedged into a small crack in it. Blake looks around in awe looking to find any evidence of them only to see a small blood pool on the ground and two footprints leading to walk into the wall where the arrow is wedged in. Blake walks to the wall to pull the arrow out and tries to feel it for any tampered things but the other thing there are two bloodied footprints that are stopped at the end of the allyway. He looks around to see if there or any trap doors of which there is but he doesnt notice it. He looks around unable to find anything and walks away looking to get the guards involved and take them to the allyway in order to see where the man ran off to and capture and trial the killer.

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

 

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

 

Ike/Lucas looks into the ruin, eyeing it for traps. Upon further examination he decides to draw a quick sketch, mark it on his map, and turn for the Delver base. He would then tell his companions, and would adventure with them. As they adventure deep inside, Ike examines the ruin further. He searches for signs of a treasure room.

 

 

2.)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".

 

Ike would get closer, act natural, and listen in. Ike notices a map in one of their pockets. He scooches closer, then steps forward, moving to swipe it. They notice him, and he begins to run into a sprint. Ike dashes to the door, as they unsheathe some arms, and swing at his side, blocking the door. Ike jumps backward, and has his lower hip nicked with the sword. Ike would then try to charge through, and make it out. Upon leaving Ike dashes towards nearby cover, a forest. Once in the forest Ike examines the map.

 

 

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

 

Ike looks at them, running into the nearby trees for cover, then pulling out his bow. Ike reaches into his quiver slowly, and pulls an arrow out. Ike nocks it into the string, still listening in, hearing 'NECROMANCER! You shall die!' Ike quickly aims at the one accusing the man of being a necromancer, and aims for the head. Ike releases the arrow, but it is off target, aimed for the shoulder. The man falls back a little, flinching, and holding his arm. The arrow skimmed his shoulder, not hurting him too much. The necromancer dashes for the forest. Ike remembers his past experience, with a lich. He turns, running into the forest, maybe he does not want harm to the necromancer? Maybe...

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

 

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

 

     I am scared but  I must investigate. I 'ead  to the sound. Inside men are chanting around a fire wearing all sorts of tribal clothing. Some sort of sacrifice is being performed . I move to a better angle. Looking around i see beutiful architecture I log it all in my field journal. I look to the ritual and see a knife levitating as it is moved towards a goat. The mage proceeds to slit the throat of the goat. Blood splatters everywhere. I then record the ritual in my journal.Then I make haste back to delver camp to show my findings.

2.)While at a local bar you see two dark hooded figures

(this one assumes I 'ave already been taught magic"
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".

 

     The men are leaning close and whispering yet I heard that word "artifact" and I knew that I must investigate further. They stand up to leave and I proceed behind them. Surprisingly I am find myself back at the Delver Base. They then walk into the base up the stairs and to the vault! "Oh no!" i thought. I follow them in and begin to cast Glamor over them. They see that inside the vault there is nothing there  while it is actually full. Then they hear what seams to be the marching of a patrol and they bolt out and run away from the Base. I then report this to a senior member of the Delvers.

 

 

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

Short Response:

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

While out on his wanderings, the soft whispering of the wind brings an unusual set of noises, sounds that Eternis is unfamiliar with.  Walking towards the source of this noise, Eternis comes across a ruin lit with eldritch lights.

 

Intensely curious, Eternis searches for as many entrances and/or exits as he can, then marks them.  Entering within five paces of each, checking for traps and marking points of interest, Eternis then returns immediately to his nearest superior, marking his trail if required.

 

 

2.) 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 "artefact".

 

 

 

Eternis walks up to the two men, a mug of the most expensive drink at the bar in each hand.  Plonking the alcohol down on the table, one in front of each.

 

Eternis begins to speak:

 

"Hello there.  i couldn't help but overhear part of your conversation.  Now, I represent an organisation interested in the study of ancient artefacts and magic, and we would pay handsomely for the opportunity to do so on particularly powerful examples of such.  Now,  don't despair, we can arrange for only a temporary study of the artefact, although there's less money in it for you in that case, but before we go any further, I must warn you that we'll need evidence that the object firstly, contains magical properties, and secondly, behaves as you describe it to.

 

Your thoughts?"

 

Eternis sits back, waiting for a reply from the men.

 

 

 

3.) Walking along the Anthos highway, you come across a masked man with a sword threatening a hooded figure, claiming he is a necromancer.

 

 

 

Eternis runs swiftly to the masked man's side, his hands forming a placating gesture as he does so.

 

"Sir, while I understand the urgency required in rooting out evil wherever possible, I must insist that you listen to me first!"

 

Confused, the masked man turns on Eternis, "What do you mean a proper court?!"  Eternis' response bursts forth, "First, what if he is using this power for good? I know that there is a long history of people going against that, but how can you guarantee that this man is as evil as his predecessors? Otherwise, you're removing an asset to the forces of benevolence from this world!" Forestalling the masked man's next comment, Eternis continues. "Second, if he is indeed an evil necromancer, and you kill him now, what's to stop him from reviving from the magic he or perhaps an associate of his might use?  Third, and to some extent most importantly, what evidence have you that he's a necromancer at all, let alone one of malevolent nature?! Should he in fact be innocent, then you would have killed a simple traveller for nothing!"

Eternis waits expectantly, and nervously, for the masked man's response.

[Dr. Eggnog 74]

It happened upon this day.... A raging thunderstorm was upon the lands, blotting out any chance of going and working outside.

The forge was closed to all but the main smith, and so... Gwindor lost that way of relieving his boredom.

The library had little to no books that interest him...

The garden grew.

Yet... Gwindor was no-where to be found....

 

After the storm had passed, if one were to look through the telescope in the observatory, they would see the stars...

A jar of cleaner and a rag might also be found, laying next to the device.

Gwindor had did what no-one would.

He cleaned the lens.

He ended the tyranny of the dirt.

 

((I put up the link to some images of stars and whatnot. It can be found in place of the sign that was asking for a link to a few images of stars and whatnot. Enjoy.))

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

 

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

Intrigued by the ruins, I would make my way into them, watching for traps and any other dangers. If I were to find any useful information (location of traps, ancient symbols, procephies among other things.) I would report back to the Delvers that we might bring more knowlegdable members to decipher, appraise or disarm anything that might be found with in.

 

2.)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 would quietly make my way to a table closer to them and try to make out what I can from their conversation. After gathering as much information as I could, I would alert the delvers of my discovery and would arrange for a trip to find this artifact.

 

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

Knowing that it is no use trying to get involved with a fight such as this. I would stay back and attempt to learn as much about the so-called necromancer as I can. If I could gather the appropriate amount of information I would report the necromancer to the guards that he might be brought to justice, especially if he killed the masked man.

 

One more thing before you assess my application. I was told to tell you all that Nienna sent me.

 

Good day.
