thegreatestlittleooc | Stop #2 - Neverwinter City, Sword Coast, Faerun

Location Information

True to his word to a couple of his employees, the Ringmaster settles the circus wagon train-- and it remains wagons with those same bad-tempered horselike animals-- in the outskirts of a large city by the coast, and it's much warmer than their last stop! A warmth seems to radiate from the city itself, earning it its name, Neverwinter.

Welcome to the world of Faerun, where magic abounds and the human race, while the majority species in and around Neverwinter, are hardly the only intelligent people around. The city has a sizeable population of elves, half-elves, halflings, dwarves, gnomes, even a handful of tieflings, goblins, and half-orcs. No one in the circus is going to stand out here, not even Karlach (perhaps to Karlach's dismay!).

The city itself is modern by medieval standards: they have an actual sewer system, the wealthy and the nobility (not always the same people) and some inns have proper plumbing and running water, and food is plentiful, brought in from the outlying farmland and traded with the nearby cities of Port Llast and Helm's Hold. There is a bustling middle class and many shops selling items both magical and mundane, churches to many different gods, and lots of people looking to see a good show.

Magic is highly encouraged to be part of everyone's show, for this stop, and missions might be a bit more involved than at the last stop...

Our current location is brought to you by Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Neverwinter Nights I and II because your mod was in love with those game for a long time.

A handy-dandy map of the surrounding area and the city. Keep in mind this is very basic (it was from the first game which had a very limited game engine) and the city is definitely bigger and more complex than this! But it should provide a nice guideline to work with :)

Reply to this comment to sign up for a mission. Please list the mission type you're signing up for.

Nita can be put into any mission except the one for Acts! Consider her a bit of a wild card this time 'round.

Fuck it we Wares, go big or go home. He'll just coinflip between this and Acts every time lmao

Wares, food, and games, let's goooooooo

Let's go with Acts this time.

Either Backstage or Advertisement, depending on what the circus needs.

Have any questions about the setting? Comment here and I'll answer them!

Will there be any reaction amongst the city people from people who seem uncomfortable being asked to show off?

(also if anything from Nita's app/anything from her old Permissions posts would stick out powers-wise, lemme know.)

As Nita does not have an actual act, she will not be asked to show off :3 It's only really the performers who will need to stretch their magical chops as much as possible, since the locals are expecting magic out of a circus.

Apologies if you've said this somewhere and I just missed it - is the difficulty rating on missions IC or OOC-only info?

Good question, I actually don't think I have clarified that. The mission sign-ups ICly do not have difficulty ratings, though it's generally assumed that Acts or Wares missions tend to be more difficult/dangerous than Ads or Backstage missions. So that note is OOC only so people know what kind of risk or investment they want to take.

Got it, thanks!

So, what year is it? Asking for reasons.

Well, see, I was thinking I'd have that be your preference. If you want it to be around the game year, the Ringmaster can definitely send her off on a longer mission in the direction of her, uh, goal, because he would definitely do that. If you would rather not deal with that, we can make it another time period.

Let's make it a different time period - easier to not have her wander off on her own for a huge chunk of the stop, and all.

(It'll still be a chance for people to get a bit more of her history, and for me to play around with the "no, really, it's scary" aspects of her predicament. :D )

Hello, this is Stareyes/

beccastareyes with a former tabletop character, Ilphyl No-House (they/them). (Not their actual surname, but the one they will give if you insist.)

This may or may not be Ilphyl's Neverwinter (look, they traveled with a wild magic sorcerer who had already transported herself a few decades to the path in a flare; whose to say that it couldn't happen again), so they may be looking for a gig to see the multiverse and get back to where (when?) they are supposed to be.

Ilphyl is a druid, so has healing, shapeshifting and general nature shit covered. I look forward to plotting with everyone.

Nita is here and having a Time (mostly because of faulty tether nonsense), but she'll do her best to be polite & helpful with a new recruit!

I'll make sure to plurk with a link to my toplevel once things are that far along; it'll be interesting doing another first-meeting thread. ^^

Thanks!

Hey there, welcome! Glad to see another person around here, and Ilphyl sounds like fun! Feel free to hit me up any time you want shenanigans with this little undead chaos creature who's pretty new to Neverwinter's particular brand of high-fantasy magic but always looking for new ways to have fun.

Well, here for Team Chaos, even if Ilphyl has been slowly sliding towards Chaotic Good.

Hahaha yeah I'd put Johnnie here at Chaotic Neutral at best. He's pretty easy to get along with though as long as people don't mind that he's just made of trouble and here to have fun with it!
