[The Benefactor Agents:]

A slave camp maintained by the Bloodmoon Mercenaries next to the city of Almraiven suffers from well crafted uprising during a time of weakness. The slaves manage to steal their weapons, burn down part of the camp and make out with a docked ship unto the shinning sea. For this Prelude, It will be a two part, one part will be the slave PCs escaping guided by their leaders and the secret outsiders who organized the uprising. And the second part will the Bloodmoon reacting to the Uprising and giving chase to the slaves.
 
You can apply to be either a slave PC, or a Bloodmoon mercenary.

The Benefactor Agents: Very little is known of this organization aside that one PC will be a member and be divulged more information in-game. They are the ones behind the uprising and their motivation for it are unknown as of yet..

The Bloodmoon Mercs: Ruthless and paranoid, the bloodmoon Mercenaries are based off in Almraiven, they take part in slavery trades and other less-than-kind businesses of the seas. They'll hire and outfit anyone that seems durable enough and shares a passion for gold. They're greedy and your typical scumbags.

Hello,
 
I'll try my best to run a Prelude adventure every week or every two week. These Preludes to Ymph will incorporate mini-adventures across Faerun and each will be centered on a specific group, whether its a small town, a local group of thieves and bandits or soldiers to a Lord escorting the tax money back to their Lord's home. I'll be posting beforehand what this week's Prelude will be, you can choose to participate if it interest you. Priority will be given to people without characters and this can be a good opportunity for you to meet new players and start EFU:A with a small group that will make your experience easier and more enjoyable.
 
I'll also be taking suggestions for preludes, so for example, a week I might be running a prelude suggested by a Player, you can PM me such if you want. These adventures should be for low level characters (3-4 levels).
 
Why run these? Well, sometimes if people have trouble coming up with new characters, these preludes could give them ideas and nudge them to start EFU:A with a small group. It also helps people cope with character lost, if you know you can, without any effort, jump back into a small group concept and return hastily to the action of the gameworld under a new guise. And of course, because Preludes are fun and I miss low level, ambience and old school D&D.
 
So, if it interests you, take a look at this week's Prelude:

[Number of Characters :]

I'll be trying to run a Prelude/week, each consisting of a mini-adventure and introduction to the Isle of Ymph. This is an opportunity for you to join and start the module with a small group if you are in-between characters. This week's adventure will be:
 

The farmers of the neighbouring region of Hluthvar's Rest have sent a messager to the lord mayor of the small town as each night, bone chilling screams are heard and their cattles are found brutally mutilated in the morning. The farmers are terrified and ask for help. Lord mayor Louis de la Verandrie asked his local deputy to investigate. A few concerned citizens, driven by adventure and a will to help others, have decided to lend their aid.

Number of Characters : 3-5 (Priority to those without characters).
Starting Level : Deputy at 4, rest at 3.
Characters: The Deputy + Citizens of the town of Hluthvar.
 
If you are interested, simply write down a short biography as follow in this topic: (I also need someone to play the Deputy, design him as you want but he must be the town's Deputy.)
 
Example:

James Sullivan is the young son of Eddy Sullivan, the town's grocer. He has work with his father at the shop to make a few coins on the side with which he bought a sword wishing to leave the town and make a name for himself. He figured helping the Deputy with this dilemma will help him to achieve this as well as helping his father, whom the events have put in distress due to his work relationship with the neighbouring farmers. He's nervous and hoping this will simply be a routine wild beast to hunt...

I wanted to run this tomorrow, but we'll see if I garner enough interest by then. It's a low level, low magic, old school adventure with a few twists.

Hello!

Just a small announcement to say that it will now be possible to corrupt/enhance your undead minions as well as make them equip weapons of your choicing should you wish it so!

The rituals to corrupt/enhance your minions mix the skills of :
 - Alchemy
 - Lore
 - Spellcraft

As well, they can be boosted by the feat "Spell Focus : Necromancy" and its greater counter-part.

What this means? It means that you can really create a unique and diverse undead army with your necromancer that you can experiment upon to make them ... faster... stronger.. more resilient... and so on.

Similarly, DMs can now give your PC a significant boost to your summoning/animating skills as a reward for roleplay, good stuff and awesomeness making it possible to control a LEGION of undead creatures (or other things!).

Cheers and Happy Animating!

Go Dark Arts!

Hey there!

With a busy schedule, I cannot really take part in the efu:a world as much as I would want to, but I cannot depart from it still. To reconcile these two parts, I decided to steal an idea from the Big Chief, Howland, and begin working on a campaign, i.e. regular typical dungeon crawling adventure with treasures, puzzles, betrayals (I love those), etc.

It should be pretty fun! I dont want to take too many people so I'm limiting the spots to 8. Here is the basic information:

 - 8 players/characters
 - 1 session/week , probably saturday afternoon.
 - You have to attend every session, some sessions might be moved (You'll be informed prior to them moving)
 - Your character is in stasis for the duration of the campaign. This mean, you cannot play it outside of the campaign if you decide to partake.
 - Preferable level range for startup characters is 6-7.
 - When you return, (IF you return), to the gameworld, the happenings during the campaign will have implications for your character afterward (meaning, you will be intertwine in many things!).
 - HIGHLY preferable to be in the EST timezone or closeby...
 - We'll be starting on December 1st (or as soon as I'm ready), the campaign will go on for undetermined, likely 3-4 weeks.
 - If you are part of a faction, you can still partake. Of course, I suggest you to make an alternate character so you can still play efu during off campaign times.
 - This, I will try, to make as oldschool as possible, with skillchecks being important and so on.


Alright, I will divulge more information when the date comes in closer. What is the motivation of your character to likely prepare and partake? Glory, adventure, thrill, curiosity, and so on...

[SIZE="1"]P.S. No Griff.[/SIZE]

[Transitions.]

EFU:A is a roleplay server working within the limitation of the NWN engine. There are some limitations that can be abused. One such limitation is Transitions.

Play as if our areas are all connected. Normally, if you hit stealth in front of someone, unless you are a Shadow Dancer, you do not vanish. You still need to break the line of sight.

Transitions are a big advantage to stealthers since they are a 'free break-line of sight event', but we expect people to NOT abuse this and to only stealth when they think they have truly broken the line of sight with their foe physically (i.e. running far enough or using invisibility potions, etc.). This is very similar to the corner sneaking abuse.

You should never hit stealth prior or right after (before your opponent load) a transition. Be fair to your opponents and they will be fair to you. We're a small community. Sooner or later, you'll be tagged as a 'lamer' if you consistently engage in these behaviours and ... things will be significantly less fun for you (both from the DMs being tired of having to intervene in all your events as referees and from other players who just dont like you because you are abusing every encounter in order to 'win').

Another "No No" in reference to transition is that if you are running away from a monster, you transition and the monster does not transition after you. You, hence, stop running... Now, is this an ooc behavior or an ic behavior? It's definitely OOC and your character should probably keep running away even if the monster is not following rather than chill right next to the transition fully knowing 'it' protects him.

We are not scared to completely RETCON events, and ban (maybe permanently for repeated offenders) where people abuse/metagame in order to 'win'.

Thank you!

[- Ore - Clothe - Food - Wood - Arcane Goods]

I'm not a fan of how the system works at the moment. Points are awarded but their effects are rarely seen. Rather, there will be a large update on how the system functions... So this is just a headsup that the system is going to be revamp in order to make it better and have the influence it provides be more visible across the city.

We'll also be given communial bank accounts for members of a banner that people can withdraw from/donate to lending more power as well as a variety of upgrades that can be bought for the Guild House.

Instead of gaining reputation, you will gain resources directly. There will be five main resources:
- Ore
 - Clothe
 - Food
 - Wood
 - Arcane Goods

The city will have quotas of these resources that it can gain by donations from Banners, trade from Banners, trade from other city-states. A global revenue will be generated based on tax (which will be set by the leaders of the Colony) and trade incomes... Failure to achieve these quotas will have visible effects such as price fluctuations, equipment failure or other events. Similarly if the gold reserve are brought dry by the current administration, wage for characters who have wage will stop until the situation is attended to. This will hopefully create a realistic climate and make it more interesting to be in a leadership position and govern the city / improve the city in additions to DM-events and regular PC-events.

This may sound complicated but once it is implemented, those who deal with it (i.e. people in leadership position) will have the documentation required to deal with this adequately.

- Party Invites have been disabled.
 - Getting Quest Requirement is done through proximity and a tool ended by the Quest-Giver.
 - Boating is done by proximity to the Captain.
 - XP is handed based on proximity to the kill.
 - Spells/ability (Bard Song, etc.) that usually affected only party members now affect neutral NPCs/PCs.
 - New Chat Command called "/c setally"

"/c setally nearby" will set nearby PCs as allies.
"/c setally xxx" will set xxx as an ally or remove him as an ally if he was already an ally.

Ally status is used in conjunction with "/c hostile all,radius,area". Allies will not be set hostile'd by these commands. Ally status persists through reset making it a very efficient and easy to use mode.

 - Quest Reward has been adjusted to be increased for larger parties (i.e. chests may have more stock that increases with party size).
 - Quest Reward has been adjusted to be increased based on quest difficulty and roleplay (i.e. if a quest is hard for your party, takes time, etc. You have a greater probability of getting increase in loot).
 - Mini-boss/hero monsters have been added. Some monsters may spawn that are tougher and more dangerous than regular mobs. They will have unique names and title and usually be hard to take down but give rare items, more xp and can add some randomized difficulty to an otherwise very well-known quest or wild area.

The benefits of disabling party and working around it is to provide a more immersive gameworld where OOC is seldomly used or hidden completely from sight (tells). No more knowledge of your party's HP, AB, AC, Saving-throws. No more knowledge of your party's location. No more knowledge of your party's health status and condition. This will likely require some adjustment but it should be amazingly rewarding to play in and make the gameworld that much more awesome.

If you ended up picking any potions (dropped by PC nightrisers) that seem to get grey when you use them but do -not- dissapear from your inventory.

Please trash them.

Thank you!

This is really a big pet-peeve of mine when I need to scrap good looking areas just to ensure people dont metagame a 'ROCK' or a 'WALL' and block the stupid NWN AI off this way. Or lure the AI through their perception (or with arrows)...

I understand there is a thin line separating strategy and exploit, but usually people are -aware- of when they cross it, and it's been cross multiple times too many in a particular quest of mine.

This isn't a strategy. This is cheating. This is exploitation of the AI.

Come on people :???: . This has been said countless times. Do we really need to ban people for this? -_- Maybe, Maybe not. But the next set of characters that do quest properly and without metagaming can expect some extra goodies from me for trying to play the game as its meant to be played.

[Status:]

In the end of the Iron Halo incident, the last remaining members of the chapter decided to sacrifice themselves in order to prevent the evil that was brewing inside them from ever emerging. Little did they know that this idea had been planted into their mind by Syndri, himself. It was meant to be safeguard should the battle for his essence turn badly.

This safeguard was to create new shells to be inhabited by the followers of Syndri and so, Syndri created a few warriors bound to the Nightriser ritual that could be inhabited by the consciousness of his old followers. These conciousness are extremely strong and durable capable of returning to awareness if left unchecked in a matter of days.

The rest is their own history and will be learned in-character.

Status: Minor Faction
Races: Nighriser.
Classes: Non-clerics, non-druids, non-paladin
Deity of Worship: Syndri Larenius.
Alignment: Lawful/Neutral obligatory. Evil obligatory.

They will receive access to their own lair. They rarely quest and instead have a different system for both gaining experience points and acquiring equipment. They are 'allied' (or tolerated) to/by most other undead populating the ruins. Starting solo as a Nightriser is rather hard and so, it is preferable if a few people apply for it together.

This is also a very hard application in terms of its requirement in PvP attitude, maturity, and style.

Preview:







Custom city re-skin for EFU:A. Coming soon, stay tune. I am still MIA, thought.

Something happened that tainted slightly what was otherwise a very tense and cool confrontation.

If someone crawls up to the surface and goes "Nightrisers attacked me in the sewers! I almost fell during the encounter, but I made it out!"

It would have attracted 1-2 characters, maybe less, maybe more, but a few who are usually always curious to go help.

But, this time, these were PC nightrisers, and the reaction to the message was not PROPORTIONAL at all. More than 20 people showed.. It was a big drama.. and a mob quickly formed brandishing torch and pitchforks to go, gasp, kill the 3 nightrisers that were in the sewers as suddenly it was the most puzzling thing to happen on Ymph.

...

This for some reason really irks me. It's the bad little cousin of people flocking to DM possessed NPCs. While the latter is often amusing to us, the former is not.

Please watch out when you start not to roleplay/be in character anymore and enter counter-strike mode that you are team Red and team Blue attacked 'someone', so all of team Red (regardless that you are evil aligned and probably couldn't care less about the safety of 'someone') must attack Team Blue. Stay in character. Put things in perspective. And do not enter the counter-strke mentality.

[two]

Thanks to everyone who participated in the plot. Those who sticked around through pain and misery till the end, those who didn't manage to stick around, and those who interacted with the people in the plot in various ways.

With the conclusion of the Iron Halo Plot, there are two new minor factions opening up very soon.

One is a secret, very unique, faction that will not be divulged yet.

The other is a group of dedicated Undead Hunters known as the Disciples of the Pallid Mask. Led by an ex-tethyran Baron known as Grimfael Corval, a Paladin/Knight of Jergal, and due to the recent threat posed by the Undead, he decided to recreate this ancient Order dedicated to the removal of the undeath plague and to honouring the fallens. This Order, althought having a grim and dedicated purpose in life, is made up of a flock of Lathanderite, Kelemvorite, Amaunator and Jergalites who joined with Grimfael for the greater good of the Colony.

Although they follow the tenets of Jergal more closely, all that is required to join is a dedication to the cause of hunting the undead, stopping the threat posed by necromancers and working with the legislation (or sometimes not) to end minimize these threats.

Status: Minor Faction
Races: Any.
Classes: Any.
Deity of Worship: Preferably:Jergal, Kelemvor, Amaunator, Lathander.
Alignment: Lawful preferred. Good preferred.

They will receive their own equipment which includes armor, helm, holy symbol and an "Undead Slayer" which is a weapon as chosen by the initiate of the Order which increases in power as the member rises in rank. The ranks are as follow: Initiate, Disciple, Templar, High Templar and lastly the rank held by Grimfael which is Forgotten Templar. The Disciples currently hold 10 or so members and have recently acquired a contract to install themselves in the Mausoleum where they will both take care of the dead and engage in their relentless hunt of the Undeath.

[Instructions:]

That's right. A efu:a music override with a very awesome score that should enhance the ambience of the gameworld a lot!

http://www.escapefromunderdark.com/downloads/music_override.7z

Don't hammer the link. It's a huge file (260 Mb!) ... It might make the website go down if too many people download it.

Instructions:

After unzipping it with winrar or another archiver program that reads .7z files, put the files of the override folder in your nwn override folder and put the files of the music folder in your nwn music folder.

Do a backup of the music folder just in case you want to go back to the nwn corny fanfare one day. Otherwise, say goodbye to it and enjoy good thematic music!

[Dont DO this or I will close it down.]

This is something that is always there but just came up because of the rising advantage to 'cheat'/'trade secrets' on a quest like the Bilby's challenge.

Dont DO this or I will close it down. It is a QA area. It has the same rules. Dont spoil it. Dont cheat it.

Please.

[It will be available next reset.]

The hunting/skinning system has been revamped. Animals will no longer drop their skins automatically.

Instead, once they die, the corpse will stick around for 5 minutes. During this time, if you use an item called "Skinning Knife" on them and succeed an Heal Check, you will be able to safely remove their hide and make a nice animal pelt. The quality of the pelt should differ depending by how good your Heal Check was. Higher Quality = More Reward. Similarly, different animals will have different pelts which may be worth more or less depending on the animal and its rarity.

Skinning Knife and Animal Pelts will be bought and sold at your local "Ye Friendlee Animal Slaughter Shop".

There will no longer be any caps on returning pelts, instead, you will stop gaining XP after a certain arbitrary level is reached.

It may need tweaking, bug fixing, etc. It will be available next reset.

* * *

As well, Bilby's Trap Maze will be re-opening with a deluxe edition.

[Everything should be functional next reset. There is lots of new content for explorers/adventurers]

Alright!

So in order to make the world a bit more involving and immersive, we've added a LOT of content in the form of random locations to discover (which are fairly lucrative!), random encounters and random events...

So exploring the wilds, you may stumble ... on an ancient tomb that was not there before. An hideout for a vile group of bandits... A Sacrifice to an evil god... A group of trader.. etc... and over 40+ different situations.

Similarly, it is also possible for monsters such as nightrisers, orcs, etc. to invade/attack the city without any DM present. So do not assume a DM is watching on these occasions. They are only there to provide a bit of excitement at random times.

Everything should be functional next reset. There is lots of new content for explorers/adventurers. If there are problems, I'll fix them at my pace.

Also, these random encounters are ...*gasp* random and renewed with each reset. It may happen that you find something and were interested in bringing a group to explore it later, but that the server reseted in the meantime and that this opportunity is gone... But fear not, for there are lots of different opportunity which should open every reset, and over the course of the game-time. The longer the server is up, the more potential for things to discover there will be.
