Update 1.7
Greetings, OH Members:
I hope those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving had a decent holiday, and you didn't throttle anyone on the silly shopping days afterwards. It's actually been a good week for us here in the land of roleplay. We've some new members, I'm getting submissions to the contest, and there's been a few missions and storylines coming in. We've also had several people sending in questions and wanting information about our group, so that is always good. Let's keep pulling in new writers!
I've also started a storyline that everyone is welcome to take part in, concerning the criminal organization called Runik. Basically, they are targeting the OH members or even those that just stay at the OH Inne and either attacking them, spying on them, creating mischief or trying to talk them into joining Runik instead of OH. If you'd like a chance to have an encounter with a Runik operative, just get in touch with me and we will do it. It can be done in groups, or just your solo character but I will warn you, it's not all fun and games. Runik may be toying with us right now but there will be bloodshed...sooner or later.
Don't forget the Word of the Week, it's always changing and it's XP you can earn once a week just within your normal roleplay! It's "amygdaliform". Wanna know what it means? Check the message board. Use it. Send it in.
Amygdaliform\ uh-MIG-duh-luh-fawrm \ , adjective;
1. Shaped like an almond.
Example of Use: She is naturally blonde, pale, with amygdaliform eyes and high cheekbones.

TONIGHT! We are having a quest, so start gathering around 9-9:30pm (est). It's going to take place inside the city, and you are welcome to bring any of your characters and meet up at the inne. My goal is to begin by 9:30 and be done around midnight.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Email me where your character is from so I can add that to the Character Gallery.
2. Any time you use a Skill, Item, Weapon, or the like on the FIRST time, please state what it is. That way the Storyteller or Proctor knows which it is and where the bonus comes from. Don't make us search your dossier to figure up how all the numbers add up, please!
Example: At the end of a combat post you would simply write (Skill Name)
3. New skill in the vein of Power Attack, Charismatic Fighter, and Dexterous Fighter---
Tactician's Sense: Your mind is as sharp as any blade, as fleet as any arrow sent forth from a bow. In the field of combat, you do not see an opponent, armor or even a weapon. You see patterns and anomalies. Your mind able to decipher when the exact moment is that you should attack. This skill allows you to use your Intelligence to strike instead of your Quickness.
CREATIVITY CONTEST
We still have a contest going on right now! We are asking you to help us fill out our world. Pick any type of place you like; city, meadow, mountain, dungeon, ruins, castle, village, church, monastery -- or anything you wish, and fill it out with information, description, even NPC's and pictures to go with it.
Rules:
1. You may choose any country or kingdom in existence including the Thanes Desert.
2. You may choose to 'flesh out' a city, town, village, natural wonder, dungeon, temple, chapel, monastery, haunted forest or ANYTHING of that sort. In other words, any type of feature you like. It does not have to be already listed on the country information, you can name your own area if you like.
3. Please be as descriptive as you can. Feel free to create NPC's, myths, legends, lore, and descriptions.
4. Visuals are a plus. Find a picture or two that you feel represents the area, or an NPC, or legend.
5. You have until Wednesday, December 5th, to hand in your submission. Please send it to TesarikOne.
6. You may send up to THREE submissions, but they should all be different types of things such as a town, a temple and a natural wonder. Or a city, dungeon and forest.

First Prize = 15XP, 5000gp
Second Prize = 10XP, 2000gp
Third Prize = 5XP, 1000gp
All Participants = 1XP, 250gp
