The Last Vigil of Outcast Keep The tavern was doing brisque business as one might expect after the last harvest of the year. With little enough to do between the last day of market and the first fall of snow many laborers took to spending what little spare coin they had on warm beer, warmer company, and a warmer fire. Of course, the end of the year had meant the end of the year festivities and there were still travelers taking lodging in the inn, these folk made the night that much more lively with stories of adventures and far off places when they could be coaxed into it with liberal lashings of libations. With such a pleasant night it was perhaps providence that leads to it being disrupted. The doors to the outside world were flung wide, the first chill winter wind accompanying their opening as the hooded figure strode in. Their entrance was a clear demand for the attention of those gathered compounded by the steady determined gait of their stride as they approached the center of the room. With all eyes on them, they pull back their hood revealing the delicate, yet slightly blunted, features of a half-elf. "My name." She begins, her voice lilting almost lyrical yet cut with the crisp clear lines of military discipline. "Is Saria Fairwater, Ranger Captain of Outcast Keep." A pause as she draws in a breath and swallows her pride. "I come to beg aid of any with the strength of arms to lift a sword. We are under siege and without succor from mercenary forces we fear that we shall fall. We offer fair coin to any willing to pick up arms in our defense."
For those interested in joining the excursion please post below. I intend for this to be a power level light quest, so no characters that could theoretically break a siege single-handedly. I want to run this semi-realistically, albeit on an accelerated schedule since a regular siege would involve more waiting than I think anyone would enjoy. I'd like to keep the number of people involved relatively small, but if I have enough interested parties perhaps we can split into groups for people helping inside and outside the walls. I look forward to writing with you.

Alliandre Saleia
Committed
Roleplay posts: 99
Age: 25
Physical Description: She is a tall (5'11") and fair-skinned young woman. Long black hair falls down the entirety of her backside, terminating in a slight ponytail for the last foot of hair. Her lithe and muscular form is heavily complimented by her choice in clothing, and she maintains a strict regime of cleanliness that makes herself constantly clean and nearly germ-free. Her blue eyes glow dimly in all but the brightest of lights.
Clothes and Equipment: Silken robes cover most of her body, with her shoulders and chest protected by leather armor. Long black boots stretch up to meet matching black greaves at her knees. A glaive is usually slung across her back, its long haft inscribed with a flowing pattern of runes that enhance magical healing abilities. The glaive's blade is a dull green color, but incredibly sharp. A first aid kit is secured to her belt just beneath the end of her hair.

Skylark
New
Roleplay posts: 9
Physical Description: Well below average height, and with a slim build, his body looks like it's barely finished being a child. His eyes shine darkly from beneath unkempt hair, their severity out of place on his otherwise youthful appearance.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Usually wearing a cloak evidently a few sizes too large, it envelops his small form, everything he wears is tattered and old, looking like it's either hand-me-downs on their last legs, or other peoples waste he's scavenged. In contrast to his rag-tag clothing, he always wears gloves on his hands, regardless of the weather. He usually wears a mask under the hood of the robe, to hide his younger appearance.

Treva Briarheart
Established
Roleplay posts: 30
Age: 23
Physical Description: Treva stands at an imposing five foot and two inches. Her figure is healthy if a bit on the thin side. Light brown mid-back length hair frames a stoic face that often shows her genuine happiness despite her attempt at a stoic demeanor.
Clothes and Equipment: ...
Most times Treva wears the armor of her order, a heavy leather with facades of fine mithral chain. Steel boots frame her shins and feet while a deep red-brown cloak falls from her neck, matching ankle length open front skirt around her waist.
Her shield is made from a strong dark wood and shelled by cold steel with silvered edges, the point of which can be used for offhand attacks. Carved into the front plating is the symbol of her goddess Xivri.
The haft of her mace is made with the same dark wood as the shield, and the flanges the same silvered cold iron. Runes inscribe each flange, telling of the level of craftsmanship but possessing no actual magical power.

Kehy
Established
Apparently I have 2 Discord accounts. The correct one is #7784
Roleplay posts: 10
Age: Early 20's. Probably.
Physical Description: At first glance it's difficult to tell whether Kehy is a man or a woman. Or a furless bear. A second glance doesn't help either. The tan skin, dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair seem common enough, but it's the little things like the angle of the eyes and cheekbones that say Kehy comes from afar. A little scar on the chin seems to be hinting at something. Though appearing fairly stout and at middling height at best, he(?) is surprisingly graceful and surefooted.
Clothes and Equipment: The clothes say definitely not from around here. There's a layer of body-tight clothes under there somewhere, but you'd have to get through the loose and flowing outer garments to find it. These clothes don't restrict movement at all, and the large loose sleeves of the outer layer are very good for concealing movement and weapons. It's a mosaic of browns and greens, but there is a very clear and obvious white ribbon collar tight around his neck, with strange runes written on the clasp.

The traveler Kehy puzzles out the words, before nodding. Understanding the language or not, he's willing to help.
