ONE SHOT SESSION

=== The Story So Far ===

Village of Prosperity Love is a small sleepy settlement located somewhere in the Dalelands. It has never seen many actions, and the people enjoyed relative peace despite the close proximity of a monster-infested forest. However, rumors of late spreading about rising activity of Zhentarim, the Black Network of insidious people.

A local priestess of Helm, the watchful god, is said that she could use some help of yours, regarding an issue of 'forest activity and the Zhents'. Aviel be her name, and despite you have never met one another before, with some reason you went to village of Prosperity Love, and decided to visit the priestess to offer a helpful hand.

After quite a journey you have arrived here, a peaceful and serene small village, slightly bigger than common hamlet, with a small and shallow river running its course not quite far at the north. Scents of fallen leaves of autumns tickle your nose a bit, but the grilled mushroom and some kind of pumpkin drink are the greatest offender to your nose and belly. There are only several buildings in this tiny settlement, and after a quick browse, you arrived at the local shrine of Helm.

The atmosphere is solemn, and slightly bleak.

After greeted by the lesser clergy member, you are welcomed to wait in a small hall inside, where there are several other people as well, with the same purpose of offering a helpful hand to Aviel the priestess of Helm, regarding issue of 'forest activity and the Zhents'.

Thus you meet one another, and the quest will begin soon, right after the priestess finished her prayers.

=== Possible Hooks ===

Please invent your own 'hook' (but please make it simple, and preparing them before playing will fasten things up) that made you journeyed to this small village, to offer a help to the priestess regarding this matter.

You can be a kind of agent who is tasked to investigate the Zhents, or a Harper to help fellow Harper (Aviel is a Harper), or you are lured by the reward from Temple of Helm (gold! and favor), or simply following the nice scent of grilled mushroom and caugh. A more sinister hook is possible, but please save the sinister part for the end of the game, since the game is supposed to be a 'simple short bashing' only so priority is jump into 'action' :p


=== How to use IRC ===

1. You can use http://chat.pnprpg.net/ to immediately join the server and channel; you only need to enter your nickname. You will arrive at the lobby (channel #dndindonesia), where we will talk most OOT, rules clarifications, etc. The game room might use #ruangdadu channel

2. If you use mibbit (or the link above), you can select 'colour' to change the text color.

3. There is a consensus on how to RP in irc, at least in my games, and I wish you do not mind following them (at least in my game):
- a. use " " to talk in char, example: "Hello, milady, you must be tired, because you have been running in my mind all day long"
- b. use * * to act in char, example: *lifts an eyebrow*  *smirks*  *slaps using greatsword*
- c. use ( ) to talk out of char, example: (eh tadi giliran saya udah abis?) or (nice crit!)

4. I will use music on most part of the game, from Youtube. If requested to play them, to have some extra ambience, feel free to play them (and don't forget to loop unless asked otherwise). Sometimes I will ask to 'PLAY:NONE' which means stop the music.

5. In case of using Battlemap, I will explain a bit mid-game, and might bog the game down a bit, so I apologize beforehand. The player side of the Battlemap is relatively static (viewer only), and the Update Position is done manually (by click the Update or pressing Enter at the web page). To 'move' your character to a new location, you need to inform me the coordinate of the target location, which can be done by Ctrl-Click at the web page and paste the coordinate on mirc. Or the old school "I move three squares left and one square up avoiding opportunity attacks and into melee with MonsterA" also works.
