"Hail, and well met traveler! Might ye be an adventurer?" (Realms of Adventures - 'Greenhorns' Part 1)

"Hail, and well met traveler! Might ye be an adventurer?"

Realms of Adventures Play-By-Blog games are constructed so each and every adventure the players participate deeply and impact the outcome of the story greatly. The players assume the role of central characters in the world in which the story takes place. From the beginning of a scene to the end of a major story arc, the players guide their characters through various situations by means of simple blog post comments.

This style of roleplaying game provides the reader with the chance to enjoy an epic adventure story as well as allowing the player to guide the action and direction of that story to any one of numerous possible outcomes. As a result - the adventures are limitless!

What follows is a very fun, and interesting, experiment in roleplaying storytelling. Scenes are written so the player feels the Gamemaster is speaking to them directly. Players interact with the environment by posting comments. Because the world is alive, everything players do has a direct impact on the outcome of the next scene!

Imagine yourself as one of the primary players and follow them along closely. Please enjoy 'Greenhorns' - our first adventure!

Introduction and Tavern Talk

You find yourself among several other adventurers on the balcony of a large tavern in the center of a bustling city. The sun has long since set, and a starry sky covers the horizon.

Aiyana, a female Native Tribesman of the region, stands stoically at one corner of the balcony looking out into the night.

Benziken, a non-descript, low class human man, sits alone playing a solitary card game. His tankard half full, and his plate of food emptied.

Ser Boros Barristan, an older looking human gentleman (quite clearly he used to be some sort of Knight), clanks his empty wine glass against the side of his well-wron long sword. He looks deep in thought, perhaps trapped by memories...

Blackbird McAllister keeps well to the shadows, sitting alone at a table tot he back of the balcony, against the wall of the tavern. The hood of this human Ranger's thick cloak is pulled over his head. The tip of his long bow is visible over his shoulder. Strong ale sits warm and untouched in a large tankard.

A few battered tables and chairs are set out on the balcony, empty tankards of ale, and empty plates are scattered about. There is a banner announcing the tavern name flapping in the breeze, hanging from the roofline. To one side of the room the tavern keeper, Drad Silor, has stored his locked chest of personal possessions.

The bar maid, Malurie Ardan, is here cleaning up the empty tankards of ale, and tossing stale breadcrumbs over the edge of the balcony to poor beggars below. She's been known to take an adventurer or two around the back of the tavern for a private drink at a price. She is known to gossip about all the stories of bravery, conquest, treasure, and foes that passing adventurers tell her. She's filled with goodies!

(Exits)
Down: Take the stairs to the tavern below, and mix with the locals.

At this point in our adventure, very little has happened...

The next scene is up to the PLAYERS! Try to make it fun, and fuel the imaginations of all the players involved. Interract with any of the objects in this scene, speak with the bar maid, or take the known exit down into the tavern below.

In the future - tips and clues about how to interact with the scene will not be provided. You can always consult the website for help.
