Update 2.02
Greetings, OH Members:
We have quite a few things going this week, I hope it keeps you as busy as you want to be! We've got the recruiting bonus going on, so all your friends or recruitees that join this month get quite a little bonus. Also, there's the Storyline Creation contest going on which gives you a FREE character if your storyline wins.
We are also going to put on our schedule two nights a week of roleplay led by a Moderator. It could be anything from sparring matches, archery matches, roleplay in the inne, EM's or all manner of things. For days not listed, it's on each of you to open chats, and play as you like but on those chosen roleplay nights a Moderator will have something planned to do.
We also have our two quest nights a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Tuesdays always start at 9pm (est).
RECRUITING BONUS
As you all probably know by now, we are not the type of writing group that forces you to open recruits, or harass you over and over about bringing in new members. No, we are happy letting things grow as they will. That doesn't mean we don't recruit and it doesn't mean you CAN'T open a chat to recruit either ooc or ic, we just aren't going to force you into such things. We do wish to grow, adding players adds much to the game as do characters.
Therefore, I'm going to give a little bonus to all new characters that join in the month of January. They'll get 25XP and 1500gp which puts them at the highest Crystal rank.
As for recruiters, I'm doubling the recruiting bonus so recruit a new player (not a character from a current player) and you'll get 10XP instead of the usual 5XP.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
• Tuesday, January 15th at 9:pm (est) -- Quest : We will be fighting undead!
• Friday, January 18th -- Roleplay Night
• Saturday, January 19th (time to be announced) -- Quest
• Sunday, January 20th -- Roleplay Night
RUNIK STORYLINE
There is an open storyline still going on, concerning the NPC 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.
WORD OF THE WEEK
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! Check the message board. Use it. Send it in.

UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
1. There are new skills! Here's a couple already put up:
Mind Over Body: You are able to use your Intelligence modifier to add to your hit points instead of your Endurance modifier.
Silver Blood: You are immune to lycanthropy. If a lycanthrope bites you, then they take 1d5 damage.
Prerequisites: Cannot be a lycanthrope yourself.
Scion of the Arts: You may roll a 2d50 to see how much gold you earn from your Performance, and it also allows you to perform up to four times a day instead of the normal two.
Prerequisites: Noble, Performance Skill, Amber Rank
There'll be some Mage, Psion, and Noble skills up soon!
2. We found a few skills that do the same thing, so please switch these if needed:
Ironguts does the same thing as Strong Stomach. If you have Strong Stomach, please rename it Ironguts.
Focused Shot does the same thing as Zen Archer. If you have Zen Archer, please rename it Focused Shot.
NEW YEAR'S CONTEST!
You are all probably aware that you may only have seven characters total in OH active (earning xp) at any one time. Here and there, you will be given the opportunity to play a "free" character, which could be long term or just for a storyline. This ties into our new contest!
You are asked to come up with a group-wide storyline that we all can participate in some way, and you are allowed to come up with a "free" character idea to assist in the storyline. This free character can be any alignment, and assist the storyline in whatever way you see fit. YOU WILL LEAD THE SL! You aren't writing up one for me to run, though I will assist you in any way possible as far as figuring out stats and world info. You can even come up with some missions that go along with the storyline that others can run.
You need to develop a story for the character as well as make a dossier which will be sent via email with your storyline idea. Please make sure that both your storyline idea AND your free character (if you wish one) is well thought out and be prepared for questions if necessary.
Free character starts at Sapphire Defender (2d60) and has all the trait points and skills, etc, that someone at that rank would have, as well as 8000gp to use for weapons, items, etc.
Deadline:
Saturday, January 19th at 9pm (est).
Prizes:
• A free character starting at Sapphire Defender that you may keep if they survive the storyline!
• 25xp & 5000gp & 3 Reputation Points that you may use for any character of your own.
Welcome to OH, New Members!
Please, folks, let's be known for being a friendly writing group and if you see these people online, IM them and let them know they are welcome! Ask if they want to roleplay!
