Song of Heroes OOC (Fantasy RP, CLOSED)

[Absolon-7]

Hey Absolon-7, would Ahmed el-Hammad be noticed by the green skins?

By the Goblins? Well that depends on how close he gets to their camp and if they see him move. Tho since he's dead his smell would blend in with their camp.

Well, I might make my first move against the Goblins. I'm currently on the forest hill - so I'm not that far away. I assume that they can also see in the dark?

I'd recommend against attacking the camp if that's what you're thinking as I haven't made the post for the Goblin camp yet. And yes they can see in the dark.

Got it.

Faction Name: The Free Church of Sword-Singer
Faction Region(s): The Northern Reaches
Description/Lore: The Free Church of Sword-Singer was founded around the same time as the actual Clan. Unlike most churches, however, refused to join the Inquisition. This made them rivals with the Inquisition. Their god is San-hi, god of Warfare and Weaponry. They employ Diviners to hunt down heretics, cultists, and monsters in the city and outlying provinces. The Church commonly practices "Ritual Combat", Where a member of the Church will fight to first blood, but this is their only ritual where members will fight one another. They will use the blood to coat weapons and armor for Clan Sword-Singer's Grand Sword-Singer. The reason that their god is of war and weaponry is because Clan Sword-Singer believed that every weapon is given a soul by San-Hi. San-Hi was actually a esteemed Sword-Singer hero, who died fighting 5,000 goblins. After his death, however, his spirit was seen near the spot where he died. It commanded Clan Sword-Singer to build a grand cathedral here, and to form a religion here. He also ordered that every priest conduct a "Warrior's Pilgrimage", where he will wander the world for one year, training and combating the deadliest of foes. If he survives, he will be given the title "Blood Priest", meaning he can bring people into the Church's fold. A Blood Priest can then go on a "March of War", where he will be forced to duel every member of Clan Sword-Singer. If he succeeds, he will be given the title of "Arch-Priest of Sword-Singer", making him leader of the Church. A March of War can only happen after the Arch-Priest is dead.
Races that are part of the faction: Humans and various Elven races
Additional Info: It is patriarchal.

Question, are Goblins afraid of the dead?

Nah, they're snacks.

[Solisian Union]

Post will come after delivery run irl

[New Finnish Republic]

The Goblin Extermination party has been set into motion. If you want to have your characters have dialogue during the trip feel free, but Edward will likely not speak during the journey. I set it up so that Tau can join in soon as well.

Back from delivery run. Proceeding to make post

Hey Abs, Zark, wanted to run an idea by you guys.

How'd you feel if chars had "classes" listed by their names in the character table in the OP? It wouldn't be intended to bind anybody to a particular role or to bestow any abilities, but could be useful to allow folks at a glance to figure out the general style that an RPer is going for them.

I'd support this as well.

Interesting idea but I don't know what "Witch Hunter" class would bring to mind compared to other religious oriented classes such as paladin and zealot.

He'd probably be a fighter or some variation of that. It doesn't appear he uses any magic, and is jsut really good at weapons.

Like what Bentus said. It's just to give a broad sense of what the characters do.

Honestly Witch Hunter would be fine as a class. What it maybe doesn't communicate for combat ability, it communicates character and role - which I think is more important anyway. Like to me the difference between a Paladin and a Knight is all flavor, similar between an Archer and a Ranger or a Rogue and a Thief.

Edit: In before Edward's class is Goblin Slayer.

"That's not true. I also hate it when I run out of goblins to kill."

Who knew Edward would be this world's goblin exterminator.

Bentus, you made a slight mistake: there is NO uniform symbol of the Inquisition. There are a dozen and a half different insignias representing different churches and sub-orders of the Inquisition. That's why nobody can identify a Witch Hunter upon appearance because there are a thousand different kinds of clothing being worn by Inquisitors.

Interesting.

Simion's class is obviously Marksman, though he hardly fits into classic fantasy character classes because gun users are generally unheard of in that field.

Ah, will fix. How has everyone been identifying the two inquisitors on sight in the previous posts?
