Welcome to Thar Shaddin!

Feel free to pop into the chatroom (link to the top left of the page)
Even if nobody is in at the time, often if folks see a new face there they will log in as well.
We'll be happy to help you get a bit more familiarised with the setting, or just chat in general

Depending on your preference, we can have the bridge damage from natural causes, or we can have Erin notice something about the damaged bridge which suggests human sabotage. You can decide

The morning breeze kicked up into more vigorous wind, and Geragio covered his face with a grubby old scarf. Through nature's interference, the morning, and most of the day passed in silence until they made camp in the evening.

The wind became more vigorous the following day, and Geragio glowered at ...

Perhaps we could have maybe bandits making a tax/toll road sort of thing.
Maybe the road could be in disrepair and we'd need to take a detour.

That sounds like a good time. Some enterprising criminal knuckleheads taking advantage of a damaged bridge and enforced detour is just the kind of thing ...

Feel free to brainstorm ideas as to the kind of events we can timeskip to (prior to the first major on-road ambush from assassins later in the thread).
Some ideas off the top of my head:
- trouble at an inn
- chance encounter with an acquaintance of either character
- <insert ideas here>

Geragio cackled, then hacked up a wad of saliva and spat in the direction of the horses. Missed, worse luck. "An' there y'go soundin' like a kid straight off the fucking farm. Streets full of naked women. Now wouldn't that be a sight? Nah, won't see that. Have t'travel across the Mediterranean to ...

Geragio shrugged "Ain't against the law t'be an elf. Can't help who fucked who before you got dropped out of your ma's nethers. They're more likely to have issue on account of us bein' from Apthoni." The old man flicked irritably at the horses, who harrumphed and whisked their tails in disapproval ...

Rather than go balls-to-the-wall pedanticism, I'm averaging out the trip of 1400ish miles to take approximately a month.

Something we might want to consider doing ...

Geragio grunted. Qadis and he had a long history, thanks to the Trivisana League's heavy involvement in the port city. "Guess y'could say that. Used t'be a more active merchant afore I went and got m'self hobbled with an oak foot. Visitin' Qadis is part an' parcel of that kind of work." Sometimes he ...

Fifteen men, eh? Kids still grew up fast, he supposed. Still, it wouldn't do to let on too much about himself. "Oh, I'm just a harmless wagon driver, me. No killin' on my horizons." Geragio thumped his pegleg against the wood of the carriage as if to demonstrate his unsuitability for such a task ...

Geragio grunted in reply, and hauled himself atop the driver's seat. "If we're lucky, it'll be a run so boring y'won't have to earn y'keep." Geragio's gravely voice was accompanied by a crisp snap of the reins. Arsehole and Fuckhead ignored him. Geragio reached down and picked up a short whip, gave ...

First post is up!

At The Pale Dwarf Inn, Geragio already had the wagon ready and the two horses tacked up and in harness by the time the hired goon arrived. He hadn't quite caught the kid's name the night before - Eric, maybe, or Vincenzo - something of the sort. He figured it wouldn't matter much: he knew the face ...

With Geragio approved, I'm working on a first post to get us started. :)

There are a coule of ways we can begin:
1) in media res, with a segue straight into an action scene
2) at a more calm pace, with a travelling slice-of-life feel, and build up to an action scene when we want one.

Which would ...
