These vampires were corpses, who went out of their graves at night to suck the blood of the living, either at their throats or stomachs, after which they returned to their cemeteries. The persons so sucked waned, grew pale, and fell into consumption; while the sucking corpses grew fat. Luke saw a brief image in his mind,…
The elves originally called Neverwinter Wood the Llewyrrwood and the forest came to be a colony for Illefarn. When Aryvandaar annexed both Illefarn and the Llewyrrwood in -9900 DR, many of the residents fled to Shantel Othreier. Some stayed for a century, living under the yoke of the Vyshantaar until the queen of the…
Protector's Enclave is the heart of the economy and governance in the city of Neverwinter. Lord Neverember reclaimed this part of the city from the hoards of monsters that invaded after the eruption of Mount Hotenow and then rebuilt it. For this deed this district was named after his title, "The Protector". He now oversees…
This Inn was recently purchased by the dwarven merchant Gorun Pricebreaker, who re-opened it to serve the burgeoning trade routes along the northern Sword Coast. The Broken Crown Inn was so named by the original owner, a Luskan sympathizer who wanted to see the rulers of Neverwinter deposed. Luke woke up, even as the sky…
"Although the Blacklake District stands largely intact in the wake of the various disasters that laid Neverwinter low, those who inhabit the district have violently resisted Lord Neverember's plans to resettle it. The Nashers, the more violent faction of the anti-Neverember Sons of Alagondar, have claimed the area for…
The Moonstone Mask. A legendary tavern floating off the coast of Protector's Enclave. As Liset Cheldar, the current owner explains to new comers, when the Spellplague hit and parts of the city started floating away, some guests had the brilliant idea to tether the tavern's block to the ground, so it would stay accessible.…
Krist awoke, it was the same dream he always had. He fought, he stood by his men, he stood by the dwarves, and he stood by his friend. Busey was the best with a sword, though he hated shields and thick armor. Krist could not help but wonder if it would have saved his life. The trolls came, and the fight changed. People…
Krist was pretty sure things were going well all over, but in the heat of battle it was very difficult to tell. He and others with shields formed a front line that the goblins seemed to break on like waves hitting a large rock. Arrows whistled overhead as the archers poured their shafts into each wave of goblin that came.…
Also, when you put your cursor over it, the real chest will show a green pouch, the mimic shows nothing but the blue circle. Never really paid attention to these others tell tale signs, but they are good to know. :)
Dead on. FREE, and they still insist. I played those games where you can lose everything, you just knuckled down, and built back up again. Didn't seem like it at the time, but it was part of the fun of overcoming obstacles. You must be old school like me, and I swear we are dying breed. Of course some of my characters are…
If you make everything free and convenient, then nothing is worth anything. While I have yet to PvP on here, and probably wont be bringing along PvP gear if I do, I think those that work and pay for the equipment and changes should have a benefit that a casual, use my gold for other things PvE, has. YOU choose what is…
I believe it is a good idea to have shadier characters for any good rp situation. I also agree that too often people play "evil" very wrong, and sometimes come off as simply chaotic stupid, if that is an alignment. Many evil characters do not know they are "evil", they simply "know what they want and will do what they need…
You are definitely welcome to leave a comment. Work had me away so just saw this. I wonder why there aren't more stories, or if I am just not seeing where they are? Anyway, any critique is fine with me, just keep in mind there isn't that much editing, I write it on the forum itself. I hope you enjoy it. Sean
"You just left him," she gasped, unable to believe that someone she was so acquainted to could be so cold. She wasn't looking at Hughe, who actually cast the spell, but at Chance, her friend and lover. "Settle down Sarah," Brutus said, shaking his head. "Chance aint had a choice, no more than the rest of us." "What do you…
Chance lopped off a hand, then punctured the forehead of the zombie as he moved toward Sarah and Hughe's position. It was hard to see how the two were fairing considering that he had to keep dodging and spinning out of the attacks of the zombies that were between he and them. However, the rogue suddenly saw an opening, as…
The ball of flame hit the first row of zombies, and incinerated them beyond any further use. B'lowed didn't worry too much on that, his ability to raise more was on par with even the most damned. What frustrated and angered him most was that the mage openly violated his call to reason, something that could not go…
"Demon indeed, that is a devil," Hughe said, a deep frown on his face. "What did you get us into this time, my friend?" Chance asked, but a smile was formed on his lips. The group of undead were just standing there, not making any moves to come closer, or even looking as if they actually did notice the group in the tomb.…
“The cemetery is an open space among the ruins, covered in winter with violets and daisies. It might make one in love with death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place.” ― Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonais "I aint scared of you, you know. I know you aint doin' nothing but tryin' to scare me, and I don't scare…
"The area called Pauper's Field traditionally has been the burial grounds of the poor, and now it also contains many hastily dug graves from when the Spellplague hit the city." "Just us boss," Brutus called, the hired body guard of Hughe. Behind him was Sarah, friend of Chance, and cleric. Hughe gazed at them for a moment,…
In case anyone is still looking here, and people still aren't sure, YOU CAN get an artifact through a random drop, as I have one on my CW. I couldn't tell you exactly how I got it, being very new to the game I did not know the rarity of it. Only thing I can say is I did do a bunch of skirmeshes and dungeon delves, and…
I actually wondered about this myself, but not so much as worrying about others stealing but sometimes, let's face it, accidents occur and you steal a mob before you noticed the other person attacking. I did assume loot was player specific from the way it didn't blink away when others ran over it! This has confirmed that…
