Dalaruth is a small town inhabited by mostly dwarves, orcs and half-orcs. Even though this city has it's uprisings, most of the times it is a peaceful town with plenty of hard work and labor involved in its maintenance. Many months ago this town was suddenly changed by a catastrophic event.

On the eve of the Great Festival, an unknown object streaked the skies, laying waste to the northern lands known as Arctius. Many of the people of this town fearing that it was a powerful "caster of spells" set forth to rid the land of this being to once again bring the peace back to the lands.

Upon arrival to the impact site, the militia of the town had found a great rock of unknown origin and material. The leader of the town, Argois, had requested that this rock be returned to the town for further investigation. Many days later the rock had been returned and studied, finding that it had many properties that could be used and refined into materials that can assist the town and turn it into a thriving city. Unfortunately Argois did not understand the downside of this material being used.

Many months later, many of the inhabitants of the town have started to act strangely. Each one almost different, but yet the same. Some were powerful mentally, but nearly destroyed physically, and some physically, but not as intelligent as they once were. Fearing the worse, Argois stopped all shipments of items with this rock, but also realized that many products before have been sent through the lands.

He has now hired two from this town to set forth and see how widespread the problem is, although knowing that these two had the smaller of the two pieces of this rock imbued within their armor or weapons. (This would be you two)

Even though the pieces of this rock cause a great deal of both power and destruction, it is known that Argois is hoping that the two he had sent forth will be able to find out, if not stop, what is causing this cataclysmic event.

----------------------------
Since you are starting out as 2nd Level, please go to the VARIANT section and choose one of the particulars for your class. If you are a multi-class, please choose your dominant class trait and then whether the 'rock' is imbued in either your weapon, or your armor. Again, you will have a choice at some levels, but not at others, but this is NOT every level.
----------------------------

As of current, both of you are standing at the gates of the city. You see many people wandering around. Some are acting muscle-bound and ignorant, while others have a superiority complex. The shops are still open and available, however the supplies are very limited as most of the shop owners are working on other aspects.

The town itself has two gates, the Northern Gates and the Eastern Gates. You are currently standing at the Northern Gates.






Reason For Edit: The previous post was mostly for notations to myself.

Hamilton looked around the Northern Gate, "Well let us proceed my friend, we are on an important mission and I would like to know a little more about the problem."

[Mourdos]

Feng snorts. " I am just glad for a chance to get away from the idiots in this place " he says, hefting his double ended axe. " As long as I get to hit things, I'll be happy. "

[PuppyCub79]

Traveling down the roadway, you notice a few people around, but most not paying much attention to you, save for a few that want to wrestle or get in a casting duel with you, but then suddenly find someone else to pick on. There is a sign on the side of the road that says "Crimsum Caverns, that way!". The sign points further north, even though you cannot see any caverns in the distance, mostly just field.

After about 3 hours, you come across the entrance to a forest. Parts of the forested area seem a bit....reddish in color, but the path still continues forward.

[Gryffydd65]

Hamilton looked around the opening at the forest edge, "What do you make of this reddish color, I don't recall anything like it.:"

[Mourdos]

Feng shrugs once more. " Eh? I don't know. I'm still waiting to come across that village that the sign was pointing towards back there. " He pauses for a moment, scratching his head with his free hand. Scratching his head with his other hand would be difficult, seeing as he was carrying his weapon in it. " It was a village that sign thing back there pointed to, right? " he says, his orcish heritage coming through with his inability to read.

A strange giggle can be heard coming from somewhere. It's very difficult to tell which direction it/they are coming from, but regardless, it does not sound all that friendly.
