Hi all! As moderator for the RP section of this Forum I want to give those of you who don't know about, or haven't spent much time in the RP section, a little taste of the great writing that goes on there, and invite you to join us!

Below is a summary of a co-written story within one of the RPs on the Forum. This RP is currently open to new players and especially those who have never RPed before, so take a look and then come visit The Dragons of Hakon: Sink or Swim!

The Dragons of Hakon: Sink or Swim

It was a quiet day, not much different than any other along the Arak Sea. People bustled about their business, either preparing to head to the waters, coming back from them, or selling their catch to newcomers and the usual traders. The inns were half-packed with those who planned to cross the ocean for a daring adventure or to go and trade with the mer-folk in their underwater domains. One could do almost anything here in BrillWater Cove - it was a town of endless possibilities. Dwarf, man, elf and mer-folk could all come and expect a peaceable welcome, as well as to be treated like equals. Some towns, sadly, did not offer such freedoms, but what world does not have its prejudices? It seems almost too good to be true anyways that this town was so friendly and quiet.

Oh well . . . if only it could have lasted.

Camdin and the Wise Dragon Erde Welt

It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was high in the sky, and its beams shone down upon the Earth. The beauty of the day was nothing that was out of the ordinary to that of the dwarf man. He looked upon the horizon while sitting atop a mountain. The water was glowing thanks to the illumination of the sun, and a smile crossed his face as he set eyes on a land mass that appeared to be getting closer.

He was greeted by the large land mass’s giant head. Studying it, he could see two legs coming out each side. They both resembled the legs of an alligator, even the feet. He was compelled to look back at the face of the creature. Its face looked like that of a large snapping turtle with dark green skin, and its pupils were black, with the iris a thick gold.
I am leaving to make some money by selling my weapons at the BrillWater Cove and possibly find some other jobs there as well, thought the dwarf in his mind.

Be most careful, Camdin. It would be best to not cause many disturbances in this place, such as where we dwelled lastly. You will get yourself killed if you keep causing trouble, the deep, gravelly voice of the dragon responded. Camdin sighed, "Yes, oh great Earth Dragon Erde Welt." he spoke aloud with a sarcastic tone. The Earth Dragon rolled his eyes, and just the motion seemed to stir the water. "Stay here, and appear to be part of the land while I go to the Cove and attempt to make some money," Camdin ordered. Yes, answered Erde Welt as Camdin swam to the land, climbed up and walked to the cove.

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hardass

The peaceful solitude of Brillwood Forest was shattered by the clanking of metal. A knight, armored from head to toe, rode through the trees atop a powerful steed. Shafts of sunlight glinted off his polished steel ensemble and the finely-crafted sword strapped to his back. He stopped and unfurled a crinkled map from the sleeve of his gauntlets, to get his bearings.

“I think it’s… this way,” he whispered to himself, looking down a leafy trail through the trees. “Or maybe… hmmmm…” the knight’s eyes returned to the map to reconsider.

The horse grew restless and impatiently shook its mane. “Steady, boy. I feel we’re almost there,” the knight said, gripping the reins. But the map slipped from his hands and fluttered to the ground, where it was promptly trampled under the horse’s stamping hooves.

“Dammit, now look what you’ve done,” the knight said with a disgruntled huff as he began to dismount. A gentle breeze passed through the trees, carrying wisps of the sweet-smelling fog. He knelt in the damp earth and found the tattered map.

But when he rose to his feet, he found a woman there. A barefooted elf in a vibrant green sundress was standing before him, with her hands clasped behind her back and a gentle smile on her elegant face. His first thought was that she was incredibly beautiful. His second thought was that he hadn’t heard her approach.

“Going somewhere, dear?” she said and cocked her head to one side curiously. “You seem . . . lost. Shall I draw you a map?”

Karen and Iaga

"Wanna go out! Wanna go out!"
The scream of a girl filled the building. The guards flinched for an instant, but they didn't do anything. The first day it was troublesome, then a bother. By now a week had passed and they had gotten used to it.

"Seriously what's up with her? She is not like the other prisoners," said one of the guards.
"The boss told her that if she behaves he would let her go. But she has been no more than trouble!" replied another.

"I kinda feel bad for putting such cute girl in jail. It’s still hard to understand why she did that." commented another one.

"She was totally naked! People offered her a hand, but she attacked them. At first we thought she may be a savage, but surprisingly she comprehends language and basic stuff. Still, her behavior is completely irrational. She broke the previous bars with her bare hands and attempted to escape; and she also tore apart the first set of clothes we gave to her." stated a third.

Another shaking of the new reinforced bars and the scream of the girl made them flinch once again.

Zebulon and Kethtria

"Thank-you all for you generous acceptance of me into your ranks," Kethtria started solemnly, gaining a few smiles from the others. "If I may, I would like to say one more thing," her eyes sparked mischievously, "Let us celebrate!"

With a flick of her hand she summoned forth whirlwinds to the table. All the fruits and flowers were caught up in them and she sent them whirling across the grove. Startled gasps came from all around as Kethtria laughed and spun around herself.

Outraged, the mages all stood up and started reprimanding Kethtria for her actions. Kethtria just laughed and sprinted off into the forest, hair flying behind her in a silver cascade. She looked back and saw that a few of the mages had given chase, using their own powers to try and set obstacles before her. Kethtria just laughed and dodged them all, sending more whirlwinds to stir up her pursuers.

All of a sudden she tripped over a large boulder and was sent sprawling onto the ground. Kethtria quickly got up and hid behind the strange blue rock, smothering her laughter as the other Mages ran past.

Then the rock moved.
