You'd been sailing across the sea for days... Weeks maybe, on the tiny ship you'd left your home in. Just when your provisions had run out, you spotted it - Land.

You approach it, hoping to find civilization or at the very least - some food to continue your journey with.

As it grows closer and closer, you can clearly tell it's a jungle of some sort. There's no way to tell if it'd dangerous or not to come ashore, but you don't have much of a choice...

A)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Ozell~~~~~~~~~~

Did you doze off for a minute there?.. Well, it doesn't matter now - You do have work to do after all.

You return to the Warehouse, a large room filled with crates. You already opened one of them, it contained ammunition if you remember correctly...



~~~~~~~~~~Kidd~~~~~~~~~~

"Well then you're on your own with that."

A)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Vaci~Zamesilena~Alala~Ila~~~~~~~~~~

Your hands aren't restrained, but the Dwarf doesn't have a weapon. They're probably a spellcaster of some sort, like most of the Dwarves here...

A)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Drash~Riverkeeper~~~~~~~~~~

You don't hear much else by the time you return to the APC, to find Urdim finishing up what repairs he could.

He was able to restore...
41 of the Engine's Condition using the Engine Parts.
29 Condition to the Radiator using 7 Copper Scraps, some different parts will be needed to restore its condition any further.
6 Condition to the Controls with 2 Copper Scraps, some different parts will be needed to restore its condition any further.
The Wheel's Axle was fully repaired (90 Condition) using 24 Copper Scraps.
The Petrol Tank was fully repaired using 2 Copper Scraps.
The Bronze Scrap was used to restore 117 Condition to the Hood.

Dragonflies APC:

"Were goin' to need to make sure to keep this out of direct combat until we can get it further repaired and more importantly, re-armoured." Urdim says to you, before the group leaves the village.

It's another hour of driving through the jungle before you come across another village, though this one appears to be in control of the Rebels.

A)Make a Stop Here
B)Continue Onwards



~~~~~~~~~~Max~Yeskly~~~~~~~~~~

There's a brief moment of silence. Datan doesn't respond, instead chugging down the rest of his drink as if he's in a hurry. "Well, we'd better get a move on then, eh?" He replies, seeming a bit distracted now. By what, you don't know - but he definitely seems like he wants to get out of here.

A)One more round of Drinks?
B)Head to the Airship
C)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Quercus~~~~~~~~~~

You drag one of the crates towards the doorway...
You get a strange feeling of Deja vu.

A)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Varin~Eldan~~~~~~~~~~

Before the motorcar drove away, you quickly moved out of the jungle and back onto the road, nearly tripping in the process.

The motorcar stops, and the driver looks out at you.

"What the hell are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" He asks.

A)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Professor~Andrew~C.~B.~Finkel~~~~~~~~~~

You continue walking down the tunnel, coming across something rather strange.

Another tunnel, this one wide and very roughly carved - cuts through your escape tunnel here. It's completely unlit, and you aren't sure what made it.

"What the hell?" The three others say in unison.

A)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Nathan~Dillenger~~~~~~~~~~

Satisfied with your exploration for the morning, you return to the camp to find that your squad is indeed awake - And you've already got a new assignment.

A)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Mewlren~the~Holy~~~~~~~~~~

You meditate as the Knights advance towards the Guard.

The Skeletal Guard stabs the Copper Knight, dealing 25 Damage. (33 Resisted)

The Guards take down the Skeletal Guard.

The Knight and the Warrior of the Light disappear into the tunnel.

You were exploring that abandoned Factory/Mining facility with the mystery enemies lurking around. (WIth the goal to use the Factories and Mine as your own after clearing them.)

This map might freshen your memory:

She'd probably have had to have been pretty bad with alchemy at the time if they thought she was useless.

... Varin probably fits the Thelenawen mold, then. Just thinking.

Well, considering where he is - He's probably a Rhoduarian-'Merged' Elf, or at least his parents were - Though them being mercenaries, they would have almost definitely have been Thelenawen themselves.



And if you guys do have questions like these, feel free to ask them all. I'll of course answer most of them.

"What's so important about this door?" The Mercenary asks.

~~~~~~~~~~Vaci~Zamesilena~Alala~Ila~~~~~~~~~~

((If it were in a language you couldn't understand, you wouldn't have understood it. ))

He opens the cell door and begins to lead you through the dark corridors of the prison. Most of the cells are empty, but as you pass though, you see an occasional occupied cell. A few Dwarves and Humans, one or two Elves and Gnomes...

A)<Insert Action Here>



~~~~~~~~~~Drash~Riverkeeper~~~~~~~~~~

As you take a walk through the village, you hear a good bit of talk about the Rebellion. The villagers here seem to be loyal to the Rhoduarians, but the Rebels are ever so slowly advancing towards this area.

You also hear something about Roger having found a cache of Rebel supplies hidden away inside of a cavern and a little about the Giant Spiders that roam these parts of the jungle.

~~~~~~~~~~Nathan~Dillenger~~~~~~~~~~

Though a good deal of the items for sale don't really interest you, there seem to be quite a few enchanted items. However, as everything here is unique, you're sure there's a chance that whatever you look at will be gone by the time you have the money to return.

~~~~~~~~~~Lucia~Azzurri~&~Sonim~Sendshal~~~~~~~~~~

Lucia stabs at the Giant Slime, striking it and dealing 10 Damage. (75% Resisted)

Sonim begins to meditate...

The Giant Slime lunges at Lucia, managing to grab onto her Left Leg!

Lucia stabs at the Giant Slime again, striking it and dealing 15 Damage! (75% Resisted)

The shaking of the Colossal Slime intensifies.

It isn't the equivalent to a immediate post-WW2 US/Europe - It's either just before WW2, or during it - Technology-wise for the most part. Of course, all that stuff like Magic and Airships changes things a good bit on their own.

There are indeed Telephones, but Televisions haven't really taken off yet.

Only the major Towns/Cities would be connected where you are.

Well, there are a couple of things to take into account here - Like that she doesn't really fit as a 'Traditional'/Ecanominian or Thelenawen Elf. As a Noble at least.

An Ecanominian Noble wouldn't touch a rifle, let alone try to use one. They also wouldn't be anywhere near any of the places this 'Rogue Fortress' could be, especially not just to pick some herbs.
A Thelenawen Noble wouldn't have any problems with that - Hell, they'd almost definitely already know how to use one - But they are even less likely to be somewhere where this 'Rogue Fortress' could be.

There are a great number of other Elves that don't fit into either of these Factions that joined the Rhoduarians or Britenaians. (Both of those are Human Factions) But there isn't any sort of a traditional 'Noble' position they'd have to fill there. Not in the sense you're probably thinking.


But then there's the bigger problem, and that is: What would the purpose of this title as a Noble be? Would that just be a story thing, and she no longer held any power? If so, then it would be fine - But if she did still hold power that would probably be a bit much for a character to have from the start.

Are the roads in the jungle paved, or they mostly dirt?

In the actual jungle - All dirt. In the couple of large towns/cities that there are, the roads are paved though.

(I'd imagine by Jungle, you just mean the jungle you're in, of course. If for some strange reason you didn't - It would depend on the jungle.)
