The Diary.

[Naamandre3]

A weather-beaten and seemingly old looking Diary slingers around the streets of mavenholm. Discarded by many but to those who take it. Much more then what seems to the eye.
The faded cover seems to reveal a title saying “the Diary of André Ashdown”

Flipping through the first pages you read about his arrival to Kiwike.

“Mavenholm” Is one of the words you can make out. You learn how he made a simple living and even found some ores to trade. How he joined the road builders and he Drained a lake to make a fabulous quarry.

Skipping through you find more recent entry in more details.

“Days flew by as far as i know.
things have changed, evolved and died out.
its with a heavy heart as a write this, but there is nothing i can do about it.
The beautiful town of Newhaven is Empty, its people sick, or gone “

Another page.

“I tend to my master now everyday his eyes barley open anymore like a curse or a disease. I learned things I hoped never to be true, even suspected things. He thought me a lot his dying bed. “

More pages flip by. Explaining how he does not know what to do with this knowledge with these things. And then finally explaining his master had died.

“He’s gone. Truly gone.. with only his last words guard the roads..”

(This is my introduction to something I’ve been planning for a while. This thing will contain you having to role-play find out things by posting here. And even in-game things that have changed for you to find clues)

Main wanders down the roads in Mavenholm in search of the library.

- I cant find anything in this blasted town, he mumbles to himself. -I wish there was a map of some sort... Hmm, maybe i'll start a mapping buisness. No wait, to much effort involved.

He notices a thing in a puddle of water on the ground. It is quite big, so he picks it and realises that it is a book! He reads the cover.

- The Diary of André Ashdown... I remember that name.. Of course! The roadbuilder! I met him outside Cerantiace when i served as q guard under Sir Eugones!
He must have dropped it. I did not think a roadbuilder would be that clumsy.

He takes it with him to the library where he reads it.

- This is quite interesting... It truly is...
Oh bollocks! The other pages are to wet to read.
I will have to wait until the pages have dried up.

He put the book in his bag and goes to the local inn for a pint and some sleep.

( Love it Naam! Keep it coming! )

Stug arrives in Mavenholm and sets down his pickaxe and wipes the sweat off his head after a long day of work.

Now where did I put that blasted shovel..?

Continuing to look for his shovel, Stug notices a wet piece of paper on the ground. He picks it up and tries to make a few words out of the writing on the paper.

"Process ............... the .... is coming .... sight. Hell of ............ hurts, sand everywhere ............ to drain the lake ...."

Stug thinks back to the times of The Roadbuilders and when they were draining the lake for the Quarry.

I think this might be André's, I should probably get it to him. Does he even still have his diary?

Stug turns around and goes to grab his pick. He remembers why he actually came to Mavenholm in the first place.

Nah.. I don't need that shovel. I've got more back at the place.

Stug walks off towards home to go back to work in the mines.

As the two people go there own ways. Each of them learn different things.

As Maindigger gets to the Famous inn of Mavenholm. One person is even louder then the other. roars of laughter seem to be focused around one person.

"You have to bloody crazy to think even those things! A single men? They just payed for that for sure!"
"No i tell, you, its one guy one person he does it at night and vanishes in the morning!"
Another roar of laughter as the person continues.
"No you idiots! look yourself then. When is the lasttime you went up north! Nobody go's there anymore. Only ruins. The old vikins town. there the road go's to. It wasent there before its even in great condition! Not battered like the rest of the roads!"

And as the worthy miner of stuf walks amongst the southern road. He notices signs.

Tristo walks along mavenholm doing a errand to the bank when he notices a diary that has been thrown to the side
" I really shouldnt pick up these things " He says to himself and flips through.
Reading it he relizes a old friend has written the words about a great time long ago.
" Looks like another adventure " He says. He then looks around and states " Might as well" And heads south.

[MainDigger]

(( Tristo! Have you gotten far on the adventure? If not, how about we do this together?
I'll probably be able to come on tomorrow. Well, today quite frankly. Well, in my time zone anyway.
Gah, this is confusing! But we should go out on a good ol' RP adventure pal! ))

((we may need to do some plotting naam. i know my rp isn't out but i want to make sure the 2 are complementary of each other rather than conflicting i can pm you the structure/ main ideas of my rp(of course if i do you can't join in the rp))

On the way back to the mine, Stug notices a set of signs on the roads. He quickly scans them, and realizes what they mean.

"More of this stuff on The Roadbuilders... what does this all mean? I thought the Roadbuilders died a long time ago back when Kubrick disappeared long ago?"

Stug looks back at the wet piece of paper. He tries to read it again only to get the same words as last time. He gently puts the paper in his backpack, making sure it wouldn't rip. Stug continues to walk down the road toward Bludwick.

"André is still probably looking for this paper. Better get it to him fast. But.. where does he even live? Maybe I should just drop this off at the Mavenholm library, tell them to give it to him."

Stug turns around and heads back towards Mavenholm.

In the mean time the drunken crowd is already lessening. the people are going there own way. The one that had been shouting so loudly in the pub was now going down the streets for everyone to hear "But i tell you go north! The whole road wasent there before!"

Stug, now could go talk to this drunken person.
Or would he leave them alone to there own. And continue on there way towards the Liberary



(Main its not a Event you can do every time. Its grows as people play in it. There are parts of in in game and parts of it out of game. For example, i cannot simulate a group of drunken people walking down the streets. So you can read about what they say in the forums. But i can make a group of signs on the road like stug just met. You all start the same, you find the diary or a peace of it. And then i'll give you a set of option to how it responds. This is why You are getting a other side of the story and stug and tristo for example.

To give an Example Both stug and tristo are going south and will see the signs. Yet stug char decided to go up to the liberary or not.
Tristo might think of something else. I would improvice and move the plot around this so everybody gets other things )

(( Yes of course. I was merely suggesting me and tristo meet eachother and perhaps travel together while on the quest. ))
