h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In a clearing just beyond those parts of the Quavian Dark Forest easily accessible from the capitol, some ashes left by careless merchant travelers smoulder silently in the evening dusk.


This is it, folks! The quest begins!

: , Dig the title!
[Sharp]: ", Hello...? That's odd,-where'd everybody go?"
*Wanders out into the clearing*
(Thinks): Oh well, there's time to wait for the others to catch up. I'll just lean here by this tree,-with my pipe...
*Uses his bubble pipe*

and by the way, I think I ought to have mentioned this, but make sure you read the "Organized Quest" rules at the Rules Page A5191030

And don't join this thread if you don't plan to post here at least once a week for the forseeable future!

[Sharp]: "Good thing I went and bought this lantern at market, before my way out... Hey, embers! How useful."
*Picks up a bit of them to stick in the 'lamp box' of the lantern, then fumbles about for a little with a tinderbox.*
"... Charcloth." *clicks the flints together.* }fwoosh{

[Male Elven Shadow Elementalist Kylen] geeze thats a mouthfull A shadow appears on a tree near sharp, and Kylen steps through. "That was interesting."

By the way, we need four people (which can include me) in order to leave this spot

: I've told Anole... and had Sharp sort of 'hint it' to LeRue... Let's see how/if they respond...
[Sharp]: *Holds lantern out in front of him to see better* "Why,-oh hello Kylen. For a second there in the dark... I must not have recognized you." *pauses to adjust his monocle* "Would you like this lantern? -I don't really need it since I can just cast a spell instead..." Demonstrates by *casting a flame for some extra light.*

[Anole]: Did I miss the killing yet?
And I do mean it. </>

[Kylen]"No thoanks and no you haven't, Anole."

[Anole]: Yay. When can we start?

*blurs and appears. A slight afterimage of roman numerals arranged as they would be on a clock remains for a few seconds and dissipates* Hello.

You're supposed to tell your character's information somewhere in your post whenever you join a thread. Wait a sec for Gandark to show up please ... I'd forgotten there was one special p2p room we had to unlock in order to leave.
Nerd42

OK, done.

(Male Lightning Halfling Wizard Ganadark Underhill)

*stumbles through the bushes into the clearing*

[Gandark] Oh, hi fellas, sorry I'm late. So, uh, somebody gonna build a fire?
or was one already started?
Nerd42

[Sharp]: *Feeling as though he has been somewhat made to feel , nevertheless...* ", I do have this lantern..."
: Does that mean that we're supposed to set up like, a campsite?

Well, it's night, and the idea was to meet up here and start at dawn. I was thinkin of having a campfire whilst we discuss our plans. We've got our goals, now we need our plans, you see? Like, "I'm not coming back until I'm a Knight" or "I'm only coming back in style, with lotsa cash" and we'll probably want to elect a leader, don't you think?

: Probably. Sharp may mean well, but he has the directional sense of a gnat when in unfamiliar territory... it's at night though so,- well nevermind. I don't wanna be 'leader' please pick someone else.
[Sharp]: "Hey watch this..." *reaches out and does a sweeping strike at the tree, whereupon a branch falls onto his head.* & : "Ow. Oops."

[Sharp]: "All we hafta do is..." *places rocks in a circle 'gnitted'around the log, adding twigs and bits of brush that managed to also get dumped on him in the resulting 'windfall.'

"... Is what, exactly?" *So having finished setting up the fire, he has the 'flame' from before settle down onto the logs (as though to roost like it were a bird instead or something).* It goes away leaving a small-fire in the place where it had been.

[Anole]: Did I miss much?
*starts to sharpen his sword*
