Fall 516

Winter is coming.

[Aoren]

PC Name: Aoren
Skills you want to improve: Flux, Quarterstaff, Unarmed Combat
Moderated thread (date): 26th- Weary and soaked to their very souls, the Drykas make camp only to have a small number of Zith attack the stragglers.
Your interest in this thread: To showcase the dangers of life in the Sea of Grass and display the bitter hatred that exists between Zith and Drykas. My hope is to lend insight into how and why these attacks are so horrifying.
Something you're willing to lose: An eye, a lot of blood, consciousness, personal goods.
Can your PC sustain an injury: He certainly can.
Preferred outcome: As I said, the hope here is to give further credence to the dangers of life in the Sea of Grass. I don't think the outcome should be favorable. Personally, I think it should be horrifying so as to spark fear, paranoia, outrage and anger among the populace and make the later attacks in the season that much more impacting. Show death. Show the ruthlessness of the Zith. Show just how truly unpleasant it all really is.

Something you're willing to lose: Other's respect for her Can your PC sustain an injury: Black eyes and bruises really, if anyone wants to make it into a fight Preferred outcome: Well, someone has to discover the dam, so I want a few sales and a good getaway, with fun in between,
