The Nexus

[Temple]

A priestess approaches Roth. She's young, and does not bear the markings of a full priestess, but she is curious and, of course, ambitious.

"Greetings, Sister Szarkai." She said in drow.

[Panic! at the Enclave] Sszinyon's ears twitch slightly and his gaze shifts to the hotbox. What was that sound? He distrusted most electronics. When Eun asks to be released he immediately does so. "Of course." Presuming she doesn't run off immediately, there's a bit of awkward silence bef...

[Raril's Bedroom] "Gone." Raril confirms. "Killed by Danube in a coup I helped orchestrate, not long after you... disappeared." He explains. "Her time was over, and Danube chose the time to strike. I took the opportunity to rejoin the family. Help her, go home. Mother was a...

[Raril's Bedroom]

"Linthaer..." Raril finally lowers his weapons. He wasn't going to be murdering his sister, self defense or not. "You've changed. Where have you been? I haven't seen you since before... before Danube took over."

[Market Street] The jewelry seller smiles at the implied compliment. This one was a charmer. "That one will cost you, you know." Her voice suggested there were more ways to pay than gold. Raril tags along behind Fayaad and Rose with a slight shiver. He was glad that drider was gone. [Rari...

[Raril's Bedroom] Is this a bad dream? Then why did his alarm spell go off? no, he was definitely awake and definitely not alone. A very unmanly scream escapes the male drow as a dagger is thrown, aimed for between the eyes of whoever had invaded his room. He scrambles to reach for his weapons hang...

[Panic! at the Enclave] Sszinyon chuckles and lets her go. "It seems so. How is your control? I could help you. Or if not me, another from my village. Shifters and werecreatures of all sorts are welcome there, so long as they behave themselves." "Father," A voice from behind the...

[Panic! at the Enclave] "Good. Good." The drow relaxes his grip a bit, but doesn't let go just yet. "You do not need to be frightened of me, though all of your instincts will tell you otherwise. I am likely more sympathetic than most of my kind. In fact, I believe we have something i...

[Market Street] The draconic drowess, Aly'ithra, raises a white eyebrow. "Oh I've never heard of that place. I'm fairly new to eating insects as regularly as they do in the Underdark, but I find I like it. Must be some sort of ancestral tastes or something!" She says with a giggle. [Templ...

[Temple] Roth will have to cross the entirety of Delmah Phor to get to the Temple of Lolth. Fortunately, the way was easily found as the temple rose high, its conical structure towering over the small enclave. It was wreathed in faerie fire and carved with visions of the Demonweb Pits. The main ent...

[Panic at the Enclave] Eun bolts down the market street, dodging carts and stalls, Underdark peoples of all sorts and, oh yes that is a very large spider coming towards her, drawing a litter with some high ranked drow on it. Bolting from that will send her down a side street. There a strong hand re...

[Market Street] Raril grins. "My wife doesn't mind me meeting new people, just so long as I keep to myself." Raril could flirt with the best of them, but kept it at that these days. His wife, Zee, was incredibly powerful and he wouldn't want to make her angry. Deep down, though, Raril kne...

[Weapons Stall] "We have a few examples of two handed swords." The clerk says, gesturing to a few laid out on black velvet, there's a couple of straight edged designs, as well as an oversized falchion. "Would you like to test some of them?" He offers, gesturing to a cleared spac...

[Market Street] The drow selling cricket legs wrinkles his nose at Jack, but seems to recognize the coins as legal tender. Dwarves didn't trade directly with drow often, but their currency made it through the underdark well enough. He quotes Jack a price probably a little high, even for festival fo...

I mean, the Spire is dangerous. I expect there to be more character death here than we'd have in regular FFRP. But probably less than a regular Spire game, too. There's ways to cheat death, but they're costly. I figured everyone would start at the base level and gain from there? According to the boo...

[Weapons Stall] "There's a few that will enhance the sharpness of the blade, possibly reduce its weight." The clerk explains. Tais gets an odd look at the request of pink and glittery, however. "I'm sure something like that could be arranged. We'd have to speak to an illusionist.&quo...

[Weapons Stall]

The clerk will helpfully slot in a few more gems. One made the sword burst into flame, another made it crackle with electricity, a third gave it a greenish cast with poison on the edge.

The male clerk glances between the two, not sure what to think of the 'construct' that was clearly flirting with Fade. "They're sockets for enhancement gems and crystals. They increase the power of a blade magically. The better made the blade, the more sockets it can have and the more power gem...

When Fade starts picking up weapons, a helpful clerk will be at his side to answer questions. No one stops him from trying a few swings, however. When he asks about big special swords, the clerk will lead him over to a display with great swords and bastard swords, two handers really. There's even a ...

Fade will find a rather large display or arms and armor near the blacksmith's at the north end of the Market Street. The closer to the fires of the smithy he got, the nicer the items on display became. There was anything from daggers to halberds hafted with that strangely purple underdark mushroom w...

Raril grins at Roth, surprised to see a surface elf here, but then he notices the spider legs and does a little bit of a double take. He turns his eyes back to the show to keep from staring and shuddering. He hated spiders. Still he would be polite to the lady and answer her question. "The one ...

The people of the festival keep a respectful distance from the half-elf-half-spider woman. She earns a few stares, too. Few had ever seen an elf turned into a drider. Was it a blessing? A curse? Who could say? The street was packed this evening, but she had no trouble moving through the crowd due to...

I was kind of thinking going semi-freeform with this. It's easy enough for folks to roll their own fallout and such, and SPIRE is very story heavy. Good News! I've gotten a copy of the book again. There's lots of interesting plot hooks in there. Which direction would folks want to go? I've also gott...

You are a drow. Your home is the mysterious, ancient Spire Two hundred years ago, the light elves came and conquered and now rule. You are a member of the Ministry, a cult-like military organization which aims to restore the drow as rulers of the Spire. Who or what will you sacrifice to meet your go...

As the days begin to grow shorter, and the nights darker and colder, the drow mark the time with a festival. It likely has its roots in ancient harvest festivals held by the dark elves before they were transformed and forced underground. For the drow it was twisted, a time to celebrate the upcoming ...
