I like the idea! By 719 Misha will have mostly retired from active scout service. By this point having married Caroline and having several children. Finbar would be in charge of the Long Scouts.

It's the year 719 - do you know where your characters are? If they're not being taken for granite, leafing around, or harnessed to another they could be out adventuring! Lodovico Buonarroti (Lodo for short) has invented a hot air balloon for the twentieth anniversary of the Battle of the Three Gates. After a slight mishap, the balloon landed in front of said gates. I thought this could inspire some folks inside the keep to see more of the outside world. I'd like folks input on what and who they might like to see here. I think this needs to be a group project or, at the very least, approved by members with a vested interest in the universe since such a trip will likely touch upon a lot of different areas and could have unexpected consequences for the setting as a whole. 1) Where There are lots of places in the MK world that could be visited by an adventuring group. I'm open to all suggestions. Even Fan Shoar and Irombi are possible if we can come up with a reasonable way for folks to get there. I should note that in the real world there have been successful trips around the world in hot air balloons: http://www.eballoon.org/flights/around-the-world-flights.html 2) When At a minimum the story starts sometime in June of 719 - some five years after the peace treaty with the Lutins. The minimally story itself would take place over the course of eighty days from whenever it actually starts (in keeping with a certain other story). It could take much longer if we wanted it to, but I would prefer it take no more than a year in-universe. 3) How The hot air balloon is my planned vehicle for adventure. It would allow for faster travel than by horse or foot. It also would allow folks to view the MK world from above and anyone involved could write a bird's eye perspective on the lands below. If people want Lodo would be capable of designing an airship capable of carrying a number of people in it. In the real world such balloons can hold up to fourteen people and I'm sure with some magic it would be possible to carry along various equipment too. 4) Who At a minimum one Lodo (a colorful pterodactyl inventor) and Turik his platypus friend (Turik was once half-lutin). I am now consigning these to to open character status, but I can provide more information on how I see them if anyone wants. Who else will become involved is up to the folks on this list, which is why I'm inviting everyone. 5) Other The group has been somewhat quiet. I'm hoping an adventure story could create some excitement. To that end, if folks would be more interested in having a rollicking adventure than something strictly canonical, the story does not have to be cannon so long as it gets folks excited and interested in writing. A couple examples would be Mysterious Cities of Gold and Pirates of Darkwater for world-spanning adventures, though others can be included. If anyone wants, I can copy and paste this over to the forums too. _______________________________________________ MKGuild mailing list [email protected] http://lists.integral.org/listinfo/mkguild
