[Balorac]

Hello folks,

It's been a while but I am back.

One of the first things I have noticed is the lack of announcements on this forum, so let me start by doing one:

* I intend to try and reinvigorate the Pit, and particularly the League of Dirt. Since the Happy Hyrkanian has regretfully closed for business, I will move the Pit to the Monday evening slot, every second week.

* Because I don't exactly have a guild to support me like in the old days, I will start with a call to the RPers to join me for some open tavern RP in the Sailor's Den tomorrow, starting 20:00 CET / 19:00 UKST. If people want to come for some RP fights, that's fine by me but I mainly want to see if we can create a crowd again.

It is my hope that we can get some regular RP going in Old Tarantia on the Monday evening, starring regular characters, plots, etc. etc.

I know that Maeva is thinking of also doing something in OT once a month, so maybe we can get some momentum for it.
If tomorrow proves to be somewhat encouraging, I will start a thread about the Pit and the League of Dirt aiming to get something going on the 5th of March.

PM me if you want to get involved in some fashion.

It's good to be back!

Ye ol' Evul Overlord.

Great

I'll resurrect or make something new to be ready for OT RP. Looking forward to it! I try drag many Tombies as possible.


PS. Start might be bit tricky as I can't remember since when last time there was announced public RP. Also RP circles are shrinked quite lot...

No worries, Galadh, I will not expect large crowds in the beginning.

Yaminah just informed me that I was mistaken that the HH had stopped so most likely this will be the only time we are doing it on Monday, in search of a better day to suit everybody.

But let's see what happens today and we take it from there.

Hi. I can't speak for my guild, but as a former lowbie pit participant I would love to join and will try to make it, barring internet trouble.

See you tonight.

I think HH been quite long for hidden, silent and only for maybe max 5 players? Maybe something productive and fresh could be come out in from some cooperation towards OT RP Monday? I do not wish to step on anyone toes, but far as I can see the HH been bit "dead" for long time.

Thanks for the fun RP, nice to see people showing up and getting right back in the dirty backstabbing atmosphere I look forward to next time.

[Balorac]

Thanks all for showing up and helping create the atmosphere!

Over the whole night, I believe that about 15 people came which is not bad for a server that is believe to be RP dead.

It reinforced me in my idea to give the Pit another go.

More about that and how the League of Dirt will work on this forum!

Actualy no one stops people from coming to HH each monday. Only their own laziness may be ^^

Balorac had been impressively true to his word and the next day Ashlinn had her new forge along with all other tools she needed for her trade and also the workshop in the Lion's Market. The two guards he had assigned her spent the first day lounging around outside, forbidden from getting in the way while she sorted herself out and then seeing no use for guards she put them to work in the sweltering heat of the building, passing her tools and materials as she required them. Normally she would have managed on her own, but Balorac had given her the important task of making the weapons to be used in the League of Dirt and in order to get them completed in a timely manner she had to let them help. Luckily, though, the previous owner of the workshop had been good enough to leave plenty of supplies for her, so fulfilling the request should be no problem.

Ashlinn will be available in the Smith's workshop in the Lion's Market, Old Tarantia, tonight so if you have any smithing requests or even just want to know why the workshop is under new management then feel free to come along and see her!

Balorac's first day in Old Tarantia had been one big walk down memory lane: anxious looks from certain citizens and guards, greeting old friends, threatening old enemies, collecting protection moneys that were long overdue and settling some old scores.

At the end of the first day he had a full bag of gold, a street urchin to do his bidding and one of his most tenacious detractors floating down Khorotas with a neat hole in his skull to accommodate the hungry fishes.

The next few days he spent consolidating his assets, until the moment came go back to his old haunt, the Sailors Den.

It hat been a strange night, bumping into some friends and acquaintances. Stalker, Balorac's trusted dire wolf, had done a great job at entertaining the crowd, but even so the Sailors Den had been a quiet affair. Almost dead.

Something was missing.

Achingly so.

At some point in the evening the oddest Cimmerian had come up to Balorac asking about the Pit.

The Pit. Balorac knew that Blackthorn had always kept it running with the worst of intentions, but that didn't mean it was not a great business opportunity just waiting to happen again.

The 'odd' Cimmerian, much unlike the perfectly normal Cimmerian that Balorac thought himself to be, said a would be very interested in seeing the event happen again and so did Balorac.

So the mind of the former tradelord started to hatch a new idea based on an old one.

And idea that involved weapons and arms from a talented young blacksmith, named Ashlinn.

What he needed now was some ladies to provide refreshments, some pickpockets for an extra revenue stream and a bunch of bloody murderous madmen to provide the main entertainment of the night.

The Pit was back.

The Pit is back, folks!

When: Tuesday, 21:00 CET
Where: The Sailors Den

More posts about the set-up coming soon.
