Hello all and welcome, to our own Witch hunting RPG Thread!

Before we begin properly I would like it if all those who are interested would leave a quick post here. I will give you a week to sign up, or till when we have a suffient number to continue. In your post leave a character description. Most backgrounbds excepted, but is set in the Empire, so goblins probably wont be a good choice.

Your charcters background doesnt have to have anything to do with Witch hunting, you will get enough expeince as we go along.

For any further Q's PM me. I hope you join up and enjoy

Stickied it for you
Son Of Khaine

My character's name is Giselbrecht Allenstag (or Herr Allenstag for short). He is a lesser noble from the city of Middenheim. He is a young and impetuous, and has little experience outside of the noble circles. He has only left Middenheim once, to visit a distant cousin in Altdorf. Giselbrecht is getting bored with his opulent life style and is anxious to cut his teeth out in the "real world" even though he has little understanding of what that will actually mean.

My character will be a disgraced Bretonnian Grail knight have to figure out why he's disgraced thou?I'm thinking he has a horse so I'm going to find my rules for that (And sing kumbia down the river)

Ivan Stone

Ivan is a tallented young pyromancer. His noble family gave him a large sum of money and told him to leave almost as soon as he came of age. Ivan quickly found a Great Wizard who started to teach him the Lure of Flames path in exchange for a good part of his fortune. But his teacher quickly grew tired of Ivan's self centered arrogance and sent him on his way. Now, with his fortune beginning to dwindle, he sets out again, . . . . .

Ivan would have a healthy, well trained warhorse. Saddle bags (Dont expect him to carry it himself do you?) Several pairs of nice clothes. Verious books on the subjects of lagic, history, and mythology. He also owns a thick journal that he has kept since childhood.

Background

Guiscard was once the a very influential knight a great warrior he had never been bested in a tournament.During a battle with the Beastmen horde of Dorgar Nine Eyes,a Knight that he had disgraced at a tournament led his lance of knights into the flank of Guiscard's men at arms slaying them to a man,riding into the enemies unit he began slaying men left and right till he came upon the young knight,he beheaded the man fought his way out of the formation and rode with all speed knowing he would be outlawed in Bretonnia unless he Gould some how find the Grail.

Guiscard is a noble Bretonnian knight and such hates most forms of wizards and Witches,his colors and crest is a rearing silver stag halved black and red.

How's this poweytom?

That’s great guys we have enough people to begin.

Be warned though for those with horses it takes funds to keep them alive and well, and at the start of or adventure you all have just enough money for one night at an inn. You guys are reasonable strong, which not how I usual start Rpging but hey at least we can cut to some real action now!!

Ok first off rules.

1. I will use a mixture of dice and type rule. What I mean by Type rule is, if your post is good, well thought out and really shows your character and what they are going to do well, you will do well, and Vise versa.

E.g: Fred stabbede the guy with the hat. This very bad post!!! Spelling wrong and no detail.
E.g: Fred came at his foe with a wild roar of fury. He brought his blade down in a sweep to server the mans arm, and then would bring it back around to decapitate him. He had been seeking his foe out and now he would have his revenge!!! Fred will succeed because this post is good.

2. Swearing can be used, but only in context if you deem it necessary and not to foul thank you

3. Give an, OOC: note if your are going away, or cant post for a while. I would like to keep this fast paced (Say a post from everyone a day)

4. In your signature could you put your characters name, equipment and rules. It helps me keep track of your wealth and etc. (look at mine for an example)

5. I think that’s it. I hope you guys have fun!!!

Ok let us begin our adventure into the realms of Witch hunting!

In the forested reaches of Reikland, part of the Great Empire of man. Foul things still linger. The forces of Chaos have been pushed back again, but the victory at Middenheim, has drained the rest of the land of men and supplies. Dark seasons lay ahead for the Empire as it recovers. Foul creatures and beings are allowed to go free and terror grips parts of the land.

The Order of Witch hunters, keeps its vigil, burning heretics and crushing taint. You see this in the small village of Asolf. A Witch hunter travelling through the town discovered a witch and is burning her in the small village centre. The folk have come out to see it; you have come here on your travels, only planning to stop to gather supplies. (Though how you will do that with little to no funds is questionable) Thick black smoke fills the sky as the women’s screams rise higher and then vanish. The Witch hunter walks back to the tavern he is staying in, his work done.

The towns folk dissipate, and you are left with a few others, who clearly aren’t locals.

OOC: There you go proceed from here. Introduce your characters etc.

Ivan Stone: Approaching the village of Asolf

Ivan hears the screams ahead and spurrs his horse to a slow run. His long red hair and his flame patterned cloak flow behind him. His clothes are made of reds and oranges, the colors are so bright they hurt most peoples eyes. His horse 'Brimstone' is decorated in colors almost as bright as his own.

Ivan's heart sinks when he sees the little village. A pitty, I was really hoping to find some decent lodging tonight. He slows his horse to a leasurely walk as he reaches the the edge of town.

The smell of smoke and burnt meat hits him like a slap to the face as he enters the little village, the little sign with the town name 'Asolf' is in surprisingly good condition considering the disrepair ot some of the outlying buildings. Passing the village centre he sees the source of the earlier stench. Ivan eyes the corpse with contempt. Witch. With power comes responsibility. He spits at the witch, his spit sizzling for a second in the dieing flames.

Ivan sees an Inn ahead and directs his horse towards it. He looks the building over. It will have to do. He dismounts and leads Brimstone to the stables. He gets the attention of the stable boy, and holds up a silver coin, "Take care of this horse, see to it that he is well fed and groomed." He flipps the coin to the boy before turning and heading back towards the entrance. Upon entering he Inn he stops in the doorway to look around. He touches his coin purse. Enough coin to buy a room and a meal with a few coppers to spare.

(OOC: Is it ok if I post my character information at the bottom of my posts instead of adding it to my sig?)

Guiscard watched the Witch burn with a fiery look upon his face Burn witch burn.
He thought to him self turning his steed he began to slowly ride towards the inn up ahead,he had enough money for a single night in the inn,he had left his riches and estates at home after he had slain the impetuous young knight and many of his knights he had fled from Bretonnia.

Moving away from the roasting witch the smoke rising behind him as he rode towards the inn,once he reached there he stopped a Wizard of some form was walking into the inn,Guiscard hated Wizards and Witches with a fiery zeal.

OOC: Ok good start guys. teddyw i dont know where you are, and this isnt a good start. Post your intro soon but for now i will carry on. Oh btw in your inventories you eac h have 2 silver coins. Thats it

IC: The Drunk Goblin, was painted on the sign above the taverns entrance. It was the only building in this village to have a tilled rough ,adn be made of mostly stone.

Ivan, quickly payed the young boy to look after his horse, and bumped into Guiscard on his way in. The breton Knight starred sullenly at the mage.

Inside the tavern there was one main room, with stairts leading to rooms, and a ricky dooor leading down to the celler. The floor is of bare scarred planks, the tables and chairs, were made again of the smae poor wood, stained by split drinks. Most of the tables are taken up by locals, and the only spare one is that betwen the Witch hunter and the village folk, all of who glanced over at him with fear. At Ivans, and Guiscard entrance the witch stares up from his drink. He says notrhing to you, but his hand evidenlty slipped down to the hilt of his sword as he recognised Ivan as a wizard.

A old hag of a woman approachs you. Spitting out a glob of phelm on the floor and wiping her hands on her soiled apron she says,

Its one silver for a drink meal and bed for the night, another for looking after horses, so what can i do for you gents? She says in a raspy voice.

Guiscard looked at the women slightly repulsed [/i]The women of Bretton may not be the most intelligent women in the world but were undoubtably beautiful,He thought to himself [/i],handing her both of his coins he asked the women in a deep voice "Where may I leave my armor and shield Ma'am?" His helmet was held in his left hand along with his shield his sword lay along his back,slightly longer then usual bretonian swords it was mainly a slashing weapon used after the lance broke.

Ivan Stone: The Drunk Goblin

Ivan smiles at the woman, "I've already paid the stableboy for the care of my horse." Ugly old bat isnt she? "I'd like a room and a meal, but I dont drink alcohol, so bring me water instead. I'll expect a couple of coppers back." With a flourish of his bright cape, he hands the lady his last silver coin.

Ivan sees the mans hand slip to his sword, Ignorant biggoted bastard He makes his way to the empty table, seating himself where he can keep an eye on the man with the sword.

OOC: Teddyw i will assume you are no longer part of this thread. Pm me if there is a change. Guys we can still continue, but be on the look out for anyone else who might be interesed in joining.

IC: As Guiscard paid the woman for his keepings, and Ivan sat down at the table, the witch hunter seemed ot relax, but only slightly. The Tavern was slowly emptying, dispite the fact that it had began to rain outside. Even in the far out reaches of Reikland, they knew a wizard when they saw one. By himself he would be feared and kept away from, but him and a Witch hunter in the same building, was asking for trouble.

The witch hunter stood and approached the mage, his hand resting lightly on sword hilt. He wore a thick leather jerkin, with black leather trousers with the same thick leather of the jerkin, sewn into them for extra protection. He had a hard noble face, with piercing brown eyes, all toped with a thick mane of black hair. Above his right breast, he wore of sword and rose pin, the sign of his order and proof of his power. Aprart from his long sword, he had a selection of daggers strapped to his body, a brce of pistols at his hip, and a large heavy crossbow over his back.

Show me your license, and guild proof that you are a order wizard, He said simply as he stood over Ivan.

Ivan Stone: The Drunk Goblin

He looks up at the witch hunter, "I am NOT one of those self serving witches like you burnt outside." Venom fills his voice and he makes the word 'witches' sound like something truly vile. Ivan stands, staring down the witch hunter, his gaunt features are filled with anger, "All men should be held responsible for their actions. In addition to that, those holding a spark of magic have an even greater responsibility to those around them." Ivan takes a half step back, putting a more comfortable distance between himself and the witch hunter again. The stableboy comes in the back door, carrying Ivan's saddlebags.
