"That's up to Dain, and depends on whether or not you still hold your heretical beliefs. You didn't say the Emperor pardoned your bounty - you said a guard did because he 'owed you some favors', correct...?"

A heavy 'do not want' to both options. Please use some kind of system already suggested by the playerbase; preferably something that does not limit freedom too much.

Gotta say, keeping a separate backup seemed like something I'd guess we were doing... Suppose not :( Are there plans by the staff to keep this from happening in the future? It seems like we keep getting hit with downtime. Also, are there plans to make lore for such a sudden departure?

"Jonathan Black; Sariant Jonathan Black. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this." He keeps standing, looking out for anyone who seems unusual approaching; no one seems to come, however.

"Hmph. Same difference." He says flatly before looking up at Dain, awaiting a response.

Jonathan looks up at Dain. "You could say that. He's a heretic; a major one. He's the priest of a religion that worships a so-called god named Rthulu; I saw the chapel in Normandor myself. A few months back, I found him in the Wilds; he unintentionally exposed himself to me and I attempted to take him captive and he escaped. He told me that he had a very, very high bounty on his head at the time - he now says it was removed, somehow. He's also dislikes the Holy Oren Empire in general. In short? He's a priest of a heretical religion and an enemy of Oren."

"You made a 'deal'. With who? And for what? Still doesn't change the fact that you're a heretic."

"You're a fool to come here." Jonathan says quietly. "With a bounty on your head and all - not to mention being a known heretic. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

Jonathan misses and slides onto the ground before trying to get himself back up. "We have a heretic out here! Evaded capture once, help me out!" He yells behind him to the Sariants in the embassy.

"What was tha... Rthulu? RTHULU!?" Jonathan rushes out of the door, his blade drawn. He notices a familiar face, and is deeply surprised when he recognizes it. He rushes down the hall towards the heretic; it seems as though he's attempting to tackle him.

Jonathan shrugs. "Well, sir, you asked what we did; and I told you what I did and what I know, which, sadly is just not much." He nods as he gets up, lowering his voice. "I heard that too.." He has his hand on his blade as he slowly walks up the stairs towards the door, opening it and looking right, down the hallway.

"Not much, Ordenmarschell... This has been a boring Elven Week. I suppose we're all just waiting around for something to happen, if you know what I mean. Personally, I went up North on a bit of an expedition; found some odd group of people who are building a whole new city up there. They have pet snakes and have leveled out an entire desert to their little project. Went farther up to search for any Frost Witches to see if the rumors about them are true, but I couldn't find any." Jonathan Black speaks up from the book he's reading. He flips a page after he's done speaking; it appears to be one of the older recovered texts about the Cloud.

It's definitely Audacity; working with what I've got. If you would be able to help with noise removal personally, that would be good ((Could've sworn you said something about having software for this.))

Exactly. There's a reason he's called the Emperor.

It has a grain of truth to it, sure; Nobles do fight eachother over extremely petty reasons, but the thing is they're not truly the ones in control at all, as stated, which is interesting. They think they are, they think they make a difference, but no, their influence stretches to their petty pursuits and their limited realm. But in the end, Godfrey and those closest to him are truly in control. The Emperor is capable of pretty much striking anyone down in an instant.

Removed that background noise; feel free to tell me if you think my audition has improved a bit now.

There goes my chance at that :D

It's probably the microphone. I'm using Audacity, so if you have something better then that which is available for free, let me know. As it is now, I think I have a decent chance. If you know of any ways to clear up the distortion by itself, that would be excellent. EDIT: Can probably clean it up, actually, will try in a bit.

OK, did the Orc, Human, and main application. *nod*

Human audition; anyone think I should try for the orcs as well? Also, are more pauses needed in-between sentences or does this work? Decided to also do the main video. Also did the Orcish one. EDIT: These are all old now! Here's the new ones in one convenient link with all the background noise gone, for the most part.

"Very well, then. Let's go." He follows the Cleric to the gatehouse. "May I ask your name?" He says as they stroll along.

Jonathan nods slowly. "Certainly, although I don't understand for the life of me why someone would place a basket of snakes in Arethor. Rather pointless... But yes, I'll help." Jonathan is fully armored at the moment, besides his head; he wears a Teutonic Order tabard, clearly showing his affiliation. He himself appears to be a younger human male with a pale complexion and black hair which has been recently shaved into a military crew cut. He carries a fine steel sword at his side along with a canteen of water, a sack of food, and a bow along with arrows. "So, you just found this basket? Anything on that note? I'm asking because there is no way I'm diving my hand in there."

Sariant Jonathan Black sees Aerin as he's walking through Arethor; he approaches him, observing his actions. "What's going on he- Are those SNAKES?!" He almost yells, jumping back a bit.
