"It's year 846 after Our Creation. We are the Vikings, the bravest men in existence! We have all heard that England has a lot of gold. If that's true, we need it for more lands, fame as well as gold to help building the town! We'll conquer and pillage England's gold for Thor's sake!" Our leader, Sven shouted loudly at the assembled crowd as everyone, including us, raised their various weapons and shouted too to show their solidarity with their leader. May Thor lead us to the victory. Even if it takes the lives of the entire village of Throlland, we will plunder the Engles!

Chapter 1: Here!

-------------------------
Rules:
Feel free to join if it won't affect the plot too much (unless you plan to).
Examples of when not to join is being in sea alone, a hard battle etc. or if the story says DO NOT JOIN.

No powerplaying, Metagaming or Godmodding.
Remember, you're only human (unless by some odd chance you are Itaku, then I plead you to not banish me into hell). You can't act all-knowing, destroy town with only shortsword (even if it would be funny as heck) or pretend you roll all 50s or all 1s if the rolls are inverted.

No, you don't have to know anything from the Nordic Myths/history.
There's only a ray of chance the things we have RPed are true.

Death is permanent!
After you die, Valkyrie takes your soul permanently onto afterlife. And yeah, the body will stay dead, dead, like it rots in peace and becomes only skeleton or it burns at boat.

This is a d50 game (Along with other rolls).
Actions will be resolved using a d50, eventually also 1d20 and 1d5. You know the drill, yeah?

Stay in character.
Unless your character has chronic backstabbing syndrome(which isn't allowed, seriously)/is bipolar, please, stay true to your own personality.

There's a weapon, magic and armor triangle/square.
There's specific weapon and armor triangle, which means you need to actually strategize to reach the goal of the adventure. They have the strengths and weaknesses.

Swords beat Axes, effective against no to lightly-armoured foes.
Axes beat Spears, effective against medium-to-heavily-armoured/Shielded foes.
Spears beat Swords, also effective against horsemen.

Bows are basically wildcard, they're countered by shields, though.
Shields counter bows, but are countered by Axes.
Daggers count as swords, but they aren't effective against armoured foes (even to little-armoured ones).

Also, there's different bonuses/penalties for Armours, as to weapons

There's also magic square and triangle, though

Nature counters Thunder and is neutral to Ice.
Thunder counters Ice and is neutral to Fire.
Ice counters Fire and is neutral to Nature.
Fire counters Nature and is neutral to Thunder.

All four of these are the Elemental Magic, aka Anima.

Elemental Magic counter Light.
Light counter Dark and Shadow.
Dark and Shadow counter Anima.

Remember that Shapeshifting is on Nature Magic. That means it shares strengths and weaknesses of it.
The armor may save you by blocking a hit unblockable otherwise, or kill you, especially if you spot an axeman.
Also, if you are Larn, take note that the weapon triangle is inverted to you.

Maximum of 3 characters please.
Don't have me exhausted by lots of soldiers, because there's a lot of NPCs I'll control. Though, by that, it's only fair if you could do more than one character.

Keep the cursing to the minimum.
Crap, Hell, Damn, Curses and some mild swears are fine in my book, but DON'T EVER try throwing F-bombs or K-bombs everywhere.

You may only carry 5 items with you.
Self-explainatory. If you want, you can distribute weapons and armours to others.

Chapter 1 start.

You're still in center of the village by that time. Sven, your leader, exactly says, that the preparations for the expedition will be going soon. Some people though report to him, that there aren't any ships.
"For Thor's sake, what's wrong with the ships again!? Nevermind, we need to go to village with boats to start the raid on England." He shouts.

Olke starts shouting angrily.
"Oh Come on with it, already. I want to go and I want to do it sooner rather than later.
I'm going to die before those ships arrive."

Jason holds a silent thumbs-down at the comment.

Jason holds a silent thumbs-down at the comment.

"Wait, I think we got idea for the cursed lack of ships. We could always try going to small town of Norvaldia. I heard they have also recently preparing for war with Engles." Sven answered to impatient Olke, with a lot of optimism here.

"I just wonder what England is like." Levian said, "I never really seen any of it besides what I was told. I wonder what knowledge it might hold."

"Well, my brave Vikings, one for sure, it might be not so easy to pillage than other countries. Let's not waste any moment by now, shall we just go?"

Einar is silent and waits for a decision to be made.

"I'm up for it." Levian replied, eagerly awaiting what the other country is like.

Quote from: coolman2443"I'm up for it." Levian replied, eagerly awaiting what the other country is like.

Luckily to Einar, choice has been made. "Let's all go this instant. Every moment they may be stronger!" By the way, everyone in village was prepared, so they all left Throlland

Einar walks along quietly, having no interest in chatting with the others.

Levian walks along as well, keeping ahold of his tomes and books.

Suddenly, they all saw something weird... a viking rotting body? "Ughhhhh... that smell, it's like thousand rotting fishes." Some Vikings say, before Sven examined it... Not much of help, given it was heavily rotten, but some bones were cracked. "Hmm, doesn't seem like he died and someone forgot to bury him. Rather like he was killed, but not buried. May he be blessed by Odin's presence."

Einar steps away to escape the smell, wrinkling his nose.

Olke does not seem to care, and slaps Jason as he tries to walk away.

Jasmine looks upon emotionlessly.

He quickly gets reassured by someone. "This may be just a rotting body."

Jasmine looks upon emotionlessly.

Slapping: 8
But Olke missed.

Well, that was a joke roll.

Suddenly... Wait, was that an ambush? Yeah, I think so, since group was suddenly attacked by bandits. Show em' your strength!

Jasmine stands back and lets Jason and Olke Swing their respective weapons at the nearest bandit.

Einar steps away from the fighting and shoots at the nearest bandit.
