Southern Edge of Town
Early Morning
"Robbers."
Adelror had braced himself for the commotion that was sure to be the reaction of the townsfolk, from the moment the cry of distress had reached his ears!
The Dureen War Cleric followed the flow of the crowd, as people rushed outside in answer to the unmistakable pleas for help from a panicked woman.
Adelror had heard the cries of countless innocents and victims of evildoers too many times in his short years of service as a War Cleric.
Whether or not this unexpected cry was directly linked to his vision was of no consequence to the Duskarn, who had already determined that he would pursue the source of this woman's anguish; whether it be a trail of robbers, or worse!
It was just a question as to who else would be stirred to tracking the thieves?
With that thought in his mind, Adelror selected a good vantage point to view the victim, while observing the variety of people who gathered around the distraught woman.

Topic: LC Avengers QnA
Subject: Closing Down Leather Coats Avengers
Gentlemen
I have decided to close down Leather Coats Avengers!
There are a Number of Reasons as to why I have decided to shut down this game!
However, I am already at work on another concept, so by sometime this weekend I will have posted a New Adventure, plus a Recruitment Thread for 5-7 First Level Characters!
No Multi Classes!
No Player Character (PC) played by Hammer!
Every Player will need a Map of Aihrde (which all of you have!) because the Players (in Character) will be deciding where the Party goes (in relation to the point of origin where the adventure begins!)
Therefore, there is a short window of opportunity for current LC Avengers Players to reserve a spot in a new adventure titled 'Treasure Seekers' about 100 years After Winter Dark with the Aihrde setting!
As always, I will be using the Castles & Crusades Seige Engine for the game system!
Daryl aka Hammer

Topic: Star Trek Into Darkness
Subject: Plot and Characterization
I used to watch Star Trek on Friday nights when I was in high school and the episodes were original run and not re-runs!
I too, had a difficult time wrapping my mind around the reboot of familiar characters, but this movie had a well thought out plotline and the characterizations were far superior than the last movie (in my humble opinion!)
This movie was not one I was looking forward to with great anticipation, but I am glad my friend talked me into going to see it this afternoon!
Was not a waste of my time or money!

Enjoyed re-reading your post my friend and am looking forward to more!
You did mention having to work long hours, so no problem about your first description!
It was reminding me of Russell Crowe in 'Gladiator' walking through the fields with his hand feeling the soft caress of the wheat in the fields! 
Will be interesting to read how Tek moves the party along!

Subject: Enjoyed the Post from Kaelyn ...
..... but it seems your Druid's arrival is a bit out of season ???
I refer to this part of Tek's original opening post:
With hope, it wouldn't be long before the ground thawed enough for hoe to bite through the soils of Irvala and seed to be cast to the furrows. Crops would grow unbloodied, and welcome in a new era.
(Not trying to be a Post Policeman here, it is just the Newspaper Editor in my blood that brings this to my attention at times!)
Earlier it speaks of traces of snow still being on the ground, other than that discrepancy, I thoroughly enjoyed the arrival of your character and am looking forward to what Tek posts to set the stage for our adventure!

I have edited my original game post to include Adelror's thoughts and spoken prayer!
Should be enough info in his thoughts, since it is common knowledge among the people of the region in regards to Adelror the Avenger freeing the prisoners from the Orc Slave Pens and Breeding Pens!
Enjoy!

Topic: A Single Stone... Q/A
Subject: May be Known by Reputation
I realized this morning that I did not mention in my post that Adelror has a Ruby Gem braided in his beard.
Therefore, I will be adding more to my original post to cover how he received the Ruby Gem, which means that some of you may have heard of him by his Reputation or know about someone who was impacted by his heroism ???
Basically, the Duskarn War Cleric of Dareen was awarded the Ruby Gem by a group of Duskarn Elders after liberating a large group of prisoners from some Orc Slave Pens and Orc/Half Orc Breeding Pens!
The group included various Duskarn, Buunta, Dur'Amani and Syln prisoners!
It may take me a while to get this edited into my Game Post, but at least you other players now have some info to possibly incorporate into your Role Play as the adventure progresses!

Topic: A Single Stone...
Subject: Meet and Greet
Deysor Twenty-Fourth, 1121
Graffton, Irvala Province
Brandost
Early Dawn
Adelror (pronounced Ah Dell Roar) had spent the last two hours in prayer, as he walked around the outskirts of Graffton, surveying the town of a few hundred people. He had spent the previous night sleeping inside his bed roll in an untilled field, the chill of winter in the air and ground comforting the Duskarn like a forlorn lover.
It had taken the Cleric of Dareen more than 3 weeks to find his way from the city of Mahlport to this town of Graffton. He had never in his short 40 years been west of Mahlport, but the vision he had received during a sojourn of meditation in his family caverns in the Prallmere Mountains had been so vivid, that Adelror the Avenger could not ignore the urgency of undertaking this journey west.
Besides, he now had the blessing of his fellow War Clerics, to journey into the outlying lands of Brandost; championing the cause of Dareen on a War Quest, that would bring him into company with fighters and adventurers of diverse origins and beliefs.
As the residents of Graffton stir from their sleep and begin their daily routine, the War Cleric made his way to the Temple of Hamar, intending to give a personal thanks to The Autumn King.
Upon entering the Temple, he sought to make known his intentions, for he knew in his heart that it was a rare sight indeed for a Cleric of Dareen to enter such a Temple. Rarer still that it be a silver haired, silver bearded Duskarn, armed with a 2'6" Long Sword, Knife and 2 Throwing Axes.
The 4'5" 140 pound Duskarn bowed in pleasant greeting to the Keeper of the Temple of Hamar, lowering his back pack slowly to the floor, adorned with a bed roll, 2 wine skins (one filled with water and another with wine) and filled with unknown contents. He laid his Long Sword against his back pack in an unthreatening manner.
Then he removed his Battle Helm with the Crimson Clenched Fist Holy Symbol blazoned across the forehead, surveying the new surroundings, while keeping a wary bright red eye on those who entered and departed at his unexpected, bold, yet humble, entrance into the Temple of Hamar.
He stifled an impulse to reach for the black eye patch, stitched with the Crimson Clenched Fist Holy Symbol, that covered his left eye. He wore a Dareen War Tunic with a sleeveless hood that buttoned down over his Shirt and Chain Mail Armor.
Instead, with a nonchalant effort, he allowed his hands to rest upon the heads of his Throwing Axes, in a non-threatening manner, striking a pose that allowed the curious and the cautious to better determine why a Duskarn Dareen War Cleric had chosen to enter this Temple of Hamar?
They could see his Belt Pouch where his 2 Throwing Axes rested on either side of his stout, muscular body, noticing the same Crimson Clenched Fist Holy Symbol on their handles, as well as on the hilt of his Long Sword. A Knife with the same insignia on its handle was strapped to the outside of his left boot. They also noticed that he wore a pair of Dareen War Breeches.
Adelror explained that his deceased family used to worship Hamar when he was younger, so he merely wanted to pay his respects in their memory. So taking his leave, he found a quiet place where he was able to kneel in private, reach into his belt pouch with both hands to touch the familiar contents, giving thanks to Hamar for his bountiful provision.
While kneeling in private prayer, Adelror tugs thoughtfully at the single Red Ruby Gem braided in his beard. His hazy thoughts drift and float to ... a remembrance of some worshipers of Hamar ... held prisoner in the Orc Slave Pens ... and Orc and Half Orc Breeding Pens ...
... Orcs so foul ... screams of terror ... my 3 War Cleric comrades wounded ... arrows from Syln slavers ... trading young flesh for Orc gold ... Syln slavers paid with their lives ... blood soaks the rocks ... screams from Syln innocents ... must rescue ... Orc Breeding Pens ... savage and ruthless ... Dur'Amani ... Buunta ... Duskarn ... screams of terror ... young women ... Orc Breeding Pens ... young men ... Orc Slave Pens ... a living death ... must rescue ... swing my Long Sword ... snaps in Orc skull ... my comrades drag our leader to safety ... must protect ... must rescue ... double bladed Battle Axe on the rocks pick it up ... turn it against Orcs ... hear it sing as it cleaves ... Orc skulls smashed ... gashed ... find my way to the Pens ... rescue ...
... Orcs lay dead ... or dying ... Battle Axe sings its song of freedom ... prisoners released ... we help my comrades ... we find our way to Dareen War Temple ... prisoners rescued ... comrades healed ... Duskarn Elders award Red Ruby Gem ... braid my beard ... War Clerics award me Dareen 2'6" Long Sword ... prisoners returned home ... my blade thirsts for more Orc blood ... must avenge ... must do my duty ... serve Dareen ... may Hamar take notice ... avenge my family ... avenge innocents ... whoever they may be ... wherever they may be ... protect innocents ...
Adelror reached both hands back into his belt pouch ... thankful for the precious gifts of the earth ... secreted in his belt pouch ... reward enough for freeing the worshipers of Hamar ...
"Thank You Hamar ... for these precious gifts of the earth ... from the caverns of my family ... Who Worshiped You Hamar ... who died ... unprotected ... but I Thank You Hamar ... for Your Reward ... for my sparing Your Worshipers ... the same gruesome fate ... or worse ... in the Orc Slave Pens ... and Breeding Pens ... Remember Hamar ... Thank You Hamar ... for these precious gifts of the earth ... from the caverns of my family ... my dead family ... Who Worshiped You Hamar ... Remember Hamar ... Remember ... Thank You ..."
This was always difficult for Adelror the Avenger to do, because he still blamed Hamar for not finding a way to protect his family, resulting in their gruesome deaths.
When Adelror was satisfied that he had done as well as he could to give Hamar thanks, he retrieved his belongings that were unmolested by anyone during his private time before Hamar, then he turned to leave the Temple with a slight bow and a nod to the Keeper of the Temple.
(OOC: Any information that Adelror is able to receive from Sister Myrah Lonse pertaining to the general atmosphere of the town, its residents and the surrounding region with any news of anything seeming to be amiss; would be exchanged for his positive observance that the untilled fields he has passed by in recent weeks look to be fit for a bountiful harvest this year. He tells her that his journey was peaceful and there were no signs of hostility along the way. He also mentions things of interest from the City of Mahlport and what she might like to know about the Hamar Temples in the region he has been familiar with these past several years! He makes no mention of the Vision that urged him to make his way this far west of the City of Mahlport, but says something that satisfies her curiosity and that he has arrived in Graffton with friendly intentions!)
Upon excusing himself, the Dareen War Cleric made his way into town, with an unhurried, but steady gait, examining the surroundings with an intent eye.
He purposely makes a wide berth of The Grinning Grasscat, passing by the Tavern with a wary eye!
The smell of fresh baked goods from the Bakery entices him to pay a visit, but he has more important things to do at the moment, also noting the friendly comfort of The Graffton Inn, but there will be time enough to get a room at the Inn later!
Adelror the Avenger makes an unhurried beeline to the Graffton Forge, where he is confident that he can find out what he needs to know about the town and the surrounding area from the smithy!
(OOC: Adelror is quite prepared to spend the time required to strike up a friendship with Maelon O'Meere to gain the information that he needs to know about the town, its residents and the general atmosphere of the surrounding area. Any historical information as well. Again, he makes no mention of the Vision that motivated him to journey to Graffton from Mahlport, but he praises Maelon for his workmanship and strikes up conversations about how things are in the City of Mahlport, setting the smithy at ease that the War Cleric has arrived in town with friendly intentions!)
