 Thank you for your post, Chce! Should you ever run into us again, feel free to send one of us a /tell if you would like to possibly join in. Depending on the RP going on at that time,  we do enjoy when others are incorporated.

Trespassing among the Canopy of the Shroud

 

Attendance: Argyle Aldrich, Jalesa Hallon, Raxio Viden, Nessa Aldrich
Game Mastered: Argyle Aldrich

A call came over the pearl from the Shroud from Argyle asking for immediate assistance as his position within the twelveswood was getting overrun by Ixali who were in hot pursuit of a small family that had been running for their lives. With haste Jalesa, Raxio and eventually Nessa joined the fray as they attacked one of the enemies flanks (They Ixali were attacking Argyle from two sides) as battle commenced. It was a difficult battle as the Ixali had two magic user's supporting their forward positions. Argyle, Jalesa and Nessa would each succumb to deadly wounds but thankfully the Adder's had caught wind of the commenced battle as two Conjurer's from the guild would bring needed support getting the three back into the fray. Raxio during the commotion brought up some long-ranged assistance which was a needed boon and with the support of the Conjurer's the group managed to drive off the last Ixali mage while sundering the rest. With this they would head back to the nearest outpost for some needed rest while the family was escorted by the Conjurer's to safety.

[Katja Lykios]

A quote from a letter that Argyle Aldrich would receive:

 

"In our quest to garner more aid with our self imposed missions, a parchment was received from Little Ala Mhigo. This parchment was an application form for one known at Patient Wolf.

After meeting with said person, I was impressed with how they handled them self. I have a feeling this person will be of tremendous aid in our further endeavors. She carries a parchment of recognition, in case she finds you before I return."

P R E L U D E : T H E - F I R E

Attendance:
Jalesa Hallon, Patient Wolf, Raxio Viiden, Selene Rose, Rahi Ketto, Sigmund Lorimer, Nessa Aldrich, Anakol Liorasch, Sehu Ketto, Victor Valiant, Argyle Aldrich, Katja Lykios
Gamemaster:
Argyle Alrdich

A plea for assistance came over the linkshell. This time not from Argyle, not from Jalesa but from Katja Lykios. A fire had broken out at Hyrstmill and aid was required to quickly investigate the small outpost and provide what aid they could. Of course the response from the Oracles that were at the ready was immediate and people started to gather in on Katja's location. It didn't take much to explain the situation after all a warm orange glow could be seen filtering its way north through the thickets of the woods. Harrowing screams of infernal voidlike howls echoed throughout the evening hour and a chorus of painful cries followed. With no time to really plan the group would just make their way over to the outpost.

When they arrived at the outposts entrance they would see that a few of the buildings had caught to flames. Among the fires that waged there were blackened figures moving about. Creatures that were no larger then two fulms pranced about before a near by building seemingly either trying to get in or keeping the door blocked for reasons that would become all to evident as the Oracles moved forward. Battle erupted rather quickly and the imp's could not hold a candle against the coordination and the momentum of the reinforcements. They would manage to clear the imps out nearest the building and even rescue a few people stuck within. They would then fight off a secondary attack that came in from the north onto their position.

When the imps had been all but cleared a man in dark armor revealed himself. Underneath the dark metal of his defense he wore a robe that revealed itself at the joins of the hard exterior. His head was concealed, his face masked by the shadow it crafted and was armed with two rapiers which he quickly brandished and pressed forward to attack. He was skilled in the arcane and proficient with his blades as he assaulted the front line first. The oracles had the numbers, however, and started to overwhelm the man. He would try to break through to the flank where most of the support and ranged members of the oracles had been, however, that too was a mistake as the oracles converged on him from all sides. He was torn asunder and left for dead.

The group now found itself planted at Hrystmill.

Meanwhile somewhere Else
 

"The attack on the outpost how did it fair," A disembodied voice spoke among the shadow's and broken light of a cluster of tree's.

"The attack was a success, however, we did lose a commander," The voice responded in return.

"A loss of a life is insignificant to the road of which we hope to pave," The disembodied voice spoke again, "For our future to succeed we must be able to seperate our emotions from our logic. Logic dictates that we have just started. Did we get it?"

"We got it," The other voice commented.

"Then that is all that matters."

 

 

[Katja Lykios]

Following the above happenings, we have managed to scout out more areas.  The house that burned was cleansed of debris and rebuilt after the memorial for the 3 that perished within.

Tonight on routine Guard duty, poor Anakol was set upon by a young opo-opo, trying to prove its dominance, by flinging poo at him. If only that was the last of their worries though.

From the rear of Hyrstmill Village there was a call for help from the Blacksmith. Our little merry band of gaurds, for tonight, set about protecting the village from minor voidsend Imps. Fortunately, though the fight was a struggle, the village and its inhabitants were once more kept safe.

 

What will happen next in our story?

 

Tomorrow (Thursday) evening we will be taking a small break from roleplay to enjoy working together helping all those with us, to get bird mounts.

Hello Everyone!

Have you ever seen an Au'ra ride a sheep? Or perhaps a Roe ready to punch a escaped Chocobo? Both leading a few of us to want to string a lalafell to the windmill prop.

(don't worry no animals or people were hurt beyond a bump or two.)

 

Between our FC Story line, we often take on side missions. Many are serious and lead back into the Main Story. Others, like the above, bring out the funny side of our work.

 

I encourage you to check us out if you are looking for an active, friendly FC.  We enjoy the company of all walks of life, different RP experience, even if that is none!

Hope to hear from you sometime soon!

C H A P T E R - T H R E E: T H E - A T T A C K [ Part I ]
 

Attendance:
Cota Dhoro, Nessa Aldrich, Heinrich Wiseman, Patient Wolf, Sehu Ketto, Katja Lykios, Victor Valiant, Argyle Adlrich
 

A emergency summons was made by Cota Dhoro for the Oracles to meet at the Coerthas Western Highlands, at the old site of the Convictory. Here as the Oracles gathered Cota would explain the General information:

She had come across information that a part of her past had made their presence known. Two individuals had been spotted in Ishgard wearing her and Hirohito's master's colors. She explained further that she had followed the rumors into the Western Highlands and to the Convictory where she saw these two Othardian dressed individuals speaking to several individuals wearing white robes. She had witnessed these individuals speaking to the research group from Ishgard that had setup camp. It was during the night that the White Robes and these two Higan Warriors had been spotted rounding up the researchers by force and corralling them into a carriage with chains at their wrists and ankels. She noted that they headed North West toward the Dravanian Forelands.

The Oracles would follow but with the blizzard in full force blinding them. Still they pushed forward knowing the risks all to save a bunch of strangers who got caught up in business beyond them. They would find these Synod of Continuance members and their Higan Allies but not before falling off the ledge of a near by cliff hurting themselves in the process (except Katja) and being forced to engage before they could setup a surprise attack. Already injured the fight would commence as Two Chocobo Riders engaged the group along with three White Robed Combatants and 2 Samurai. The fight was intense - Fire balls hurled by Heinrich, Metal weapons utilized by Cota, Victor and Argyle, Arrows fired by Katja and Sehu, Martial skills used by Wolf and support provided by Nessa. It was some encounter.

Injured piled up but the enemies numbers started to wane. The worst of it came from the Chocobo themselves. One rider remained on his mount having taken Cota while the other Chocobo having severely injured wolf and knocked out cota opened up the opportunity for one of the Oracles to be taken hostage. Sehu fought valiantly to save the hostages and took a great deal of risk onto herself. In the end 8 of the 10 hostages had been rescued with 2 dying in a fire set ablaze to the carriage itself by one of the Chocobo Riders.

Our numbers have grown to 27 and we are an active community that has been enjoying open world RP Since December 30th, 2019. Not only that we have a healthy environment where random RP is being fostered as well as plenty of player vs. environment fun! We have reached Rank 19 - Have more then enough funding for a free company house (but honestly have been enjoying our camping in the open world) and an active website that is utilized for RP journals, logs and so forth. Not to mention Promotion Ceremonies, Pen and Paper System that has been successfully used and so much more!

 

Come check us out!

[Ryslo Suramlo]

Just wanted to share a snippet from our latest promotion ceremony:

 

Initiate to Acolyte

Today we are here to honor Laviria, Lucien, Heinrich and Hirohito for their choice to join our ranks over half a moon ago. If present please step forward among your peers as we give homage to the sacrifice you have decided to make by putting your life on the line to serve and protect others.

 

Since the Four of you have joined our ranks you have bore witness to the actions we take to stand against forces others would have fled from. You have stood by those of us who have been at this for sometime and had our backs when they would have otherwise been backed into a corner. You have demonstrated the ability to overcome your fears, or at minimal push those fears aside so we can take corrective action to protect and help those who could not. 

 

As we grow and our numbers begin to thrive we augment our cause and increase our ability to provide succor, respite and aid. We stand up against those who would see this world burn in a time when even the Grand Companies struggle to maintain control in what otherwise feels like an age of chaos.  While I may not be a man of great faithfulness in powers greater then I, I have grown to have a reliance upon those who stand around us this evening and extend that same credence onto the Four of you.

 

Lucien, You continue to face your own cimmerian shades. Your past is full of sufferage, loss and from what I can tell misfortune. I am uncertain if we can ever help heal the wounds you carry but I do know you trudge forward with us no matter how sore those wounds have made you to do good in this world. While I can’t speak for your reasons for working with us I can say it takes a great deal of strength to put aside your own misfortune to see that others can have a future with silver linings.

 

Heinrich, I must admit I have no had a chance to get to know you beyond the deeds you have recently done with us and our first encounter back at the Gold Saucier. This said it does not diminish the importance of today. That you have worked alongside strangers and put your life on the line to do so. While I may yet know of your past I can say your time is helping us create lustrous future’s for those who otherwise may not be given that chance.  With the garleans keeping the Grand Companies tied up, you put your own agenda on the line to help us help them.

 

Hirohito, Honor. My first time talking to you this is practically the first thing that came out of our conversation. How does one define Honor? Again that concept seems to vary from one person to the next and to be honest it doesn’t matter. You have a past that you carry on your back as if it were a heavy load. You wear your heart on your sleeve as well and I admire your ability to be honest about such convictions.  I may not have fealty to my own feelings but you do. I hope to see that fidelity of yours help those among us forward. 

Before we move on with our ceremony this evening, I ask if Katja has anything to add to the words given..

 

--

Acolyte to Adept

Cota and VIctor would you please step forward. These two individuals have served with us for sometime. They have braved enemies with us that have demonstrated some terrible source of power. Risked their future’s, risked their lives and risked walking into the unknown. They have braved the storm and continue to walk into the next. That is why tonight we will be elevating them from the rank of Acolyte to Adept on which they will undergo their final trials before they become Oracles, Leaders of our organization.

 

Victor. Your surety has never waivered. You have demonstrated you are a friend to those around you and have a reliance that we can depend upon.  While you have a courage that boils within you and a tenacity for life, I know there is still more for us to learn. I am uncertain of your future and still learning about your past. I can only think of the present and I hope you can face what's before you as we march onward together. The trials are not a test but are steps to walk upon to ensure you are ready to help us lead forward. To keep ourselves moving, never to look back.

 

Cota.  What more can be said. You have a adamantine like exterior that is hard to break and sometimes unyielding. Though once that exterior begins to crack and you let yourself shine through it becomes apparent that you are strong, solid and have a compassion hidden beyond all that hardened protection you have built up. You are genuine and relentlessly brave. You continue to work beside us knowing full well the dangers and full well the risk. In someways are akin and in others we differ greatly. It is your differences that make you a great addition to this group. This said the trials for you are also not a test. You have proven yourself dependable, instead they are simply a guide to ensure you will be ready to lead forward not back.

 

Again I ask that if Katja has words to share that she step forward and do so now.

Oracles of Empyrean has been around Since December 30th, 2019 and continue to trudge forward telling stories and engaging each other in the open world. If your seeking any of the following then I'd check us out:

 

1.  Open World RP
2.  Pen and Paper Styled RP
3.  Community Driven Engagements
4.  Player Vs. Enviroment Events
5.  Promotion Ceremonies
6.  Discord (Rank 2 Perks)
7.  Engaged Community Site where Journals and such are actively being used
8.  A path to becoming a active DM in our community (When you hit Oracle Rank).

[Ryslo Suramlo]

We have a very strong core membership that seems to be very active during event times and not. Our members engage each other in open RP creating meaningful connections with each other during non-event times and it shows during those bigger moments.

 

If your looking for a Free Company that puts in the leg work to try and make things special then at least come check us out. We have a fully working Website, A Rank 2 Discord, and a calendar that never lacks events. Our discord isn't a ghost town either! People are on daily talking to each other utilizing voice and getting to know other players out of character (shooting the breeze with on and another) making our home feel just like your home.

 

We are New Player Friendly, Veteran Welcome and Lore Focused. We absolutely adore Open World RP and not for you if your looking for Tavern RP (Nothing against Tavern RP mind you but we just wont be hosting that sort of component). We are an Adventuring Free Company with a Developing storyline where you are NOT the prop but rather a integral part of its creation. It doesn't hurt to at least check things out for yourself by going to! 

https://oe-rp.enjin.com/

[Katja Lykios]

How does one follow a post like the two above? 

If you get a chance, please read the two previous posts, at least. Much of what we do is within them. 

We are actively looking for new members that would enjoy the active, immersive roleplay we provide.

I would like to stress that not only do we provide roleplays, we encourage our members to work with us to develop even more roleplay!

 

Come check us out! https://oe-rp.enjin.com/

It's Memorial Day in the USA

Come visit a few of us at the Aetherite in Limsa!

We will be playing a number of different tunes for your enjoyment today!

Edited May 25, 2020 by Katja Lykios

[Ryslo Suramlo]

We have established ourselves since 12/31/2020 - Now while we are not the oldest community here or even on Mateus we still pride ourselves on being extremely active even during this period of lull. We host the following event types:

 

Open World Roleplay - We utilize the world as our canvas and our stage. We engage with the environment with depth and complexity that gives your character a chance to make something of themselves and to apply actual RP to build up a backstory with the FC and for yourself!

 

Player Vs. Environment - It is a game! So we do enjoy doing Player Vs. Environment things from Map Runs, Deep Dungeons, Raids and so forth.

 

Promotion Ceremonies, Story Events - We have ranks and yes they matter! As you grow in our community you slowly work to a role and position that puts you at the helm of running events with us (Rank of Oracle) and also get unique promotions that highlight your achievements in character for everyone to behold!

 

Rank 2 Discord - Our members have chipped in and upgraded our Discord to Rank 2! We have such an awesome community its hard to put into words the dedication they have and though we are small we are a might small! We have 18+ truly active members. Our event sizes are usually 8+ a perfect size! Though we are prepared for larger group sizes as we can run events with 2 or more GMs!

[Ryslo Suramlo]

What we can offer you as a Free Company.

• Open World RP. All our events are done in the large expansive world that Square Enix has created and developed for us. If your looking to make your character's backstory rich, deep and interwoven with others in such an environment then come and check us out.
• Rewarding Story Telling. We enjoy utilizing our members backstories into our own Free Company Story by blending the two together that helps make things make sense. While we do this we never solely put the spotlight on a single individual or individuals. Your not just a prop with our events, and that's important.
• Discord & Website. Our Discord is very active as we always have 3 to 9 people on voice to talk to. Get to know your fellow FC mates out of character and build a meaningful relationship that isn't just in character. Our Website is active as well as our members post Journal Entries and we keep logs of all our RP for record keeping and for the sake of History!
• Pen and Paper Styled System. Our System has been designed and is designed to help make our larger events more interesting rather then simple. It lets our Game Masters create complex situations that keep everyone fairly equal while still being able to reward those who have higher activity. A System that has Combat Oriented Skills, Non-Combat Oriented Skills and not restricted to 'levels'. You build your character the way they are not the way the system funnels you. Plus YOU do not need to create a sheet at all! Our system is automated all you have to do is at the end of every week spend any 'Points' you acquire to update your sheet!
• Roleplay, Roleplay, Roleplay! While we have Open Events members are constantly engaging each other in random RP. Building their characters together and in our 'Camp' situations. Since we don't have a Free Company house we actively have ourselves camping (Choosing places where we are ICly). This allows us to plant ourselves in the meantime and gives everyone a place to gather while we wait for more Wards to become available.
• Player Vs. Environment. We dont just RP. We do a lot of content with each other as well and hoping to expand on this in the future. Since our numbers are steady we understand we need some growth to explore things further. So for now we work on Maps, Raids and Farming Mounts. Heck we even are doing some PVP currently together to farm those Mog Tomes!
• Suspension of Squads. We plan to bring back Squads at a later time when our numbers are stabilized again. For now we are focusing on our core membership which is roughly 14 individuals who are on daily and actively communicating with one and another. Once our numbers are a bit more healthy we plan to reinstate the Squads which happily allowed us to create smaller, unique events that focused on individuals weekly outside our larger FC based Events. How we plan to bring these back is by focusing on the members who have been active to get them to the Rank of Oracle on which once they go through the process will be able to help lead. Currently we only have 2 people at the ready for this system and we would like to have at least 2 more.
• Much Much More... Check us out at our Site. https://oe-rp.enjin.com/

[Katja Lykios]

This week we are focusing on our core members both ICly and OOCly. When not involved in scheduled events, our group enjoys random roleplay. This allows us to further our character development and relationships to one another.

 

Last night we furthered the story of the Oracles in the Ruby Sea area. Next it will be off to the Steppes. Should be interesting for a number of people from Eorzea to arrive at the Steppes where suspicion is rampant.

 

 

Scheduled so far this week with possible more to come:

Jun 04 '20 08:00 PM EST [ PVE ]

Jun 06 '20 07:00 PM EST [ Open RP ] The Steppes
