[u]The Iliad[/u] [u]Outside of the Dojo Walls, 11:55 AM[/u] [u]Luana[/u] [u]The Salesman[/u] ------------------------------- [spoiler]Open to all. Introduction to my first merchant character, and a character in the Daily Assault. Anyway, an explanation of "The Salesman". The Salesman is a being that originated from a separate realm, although it explains to those who question it's existence that it has been "throughout the weaves and webs of time and space itself". The Salesman works like a vendor would, at least in the game Destiny - it offers individuals "Crystalline Coins" - circular, clear emblems that can be traded for equipment from the Salesman. And in order to gain these.. you'll need to complete missions >:)[/spoiler] [spoiler]Anyhow. I will be utilizing Pants' "Red Zone" concept for those whom are fine with potential perma-deaths during these missions. The "Red Zones" kick in during a time of utmost danger, meaning that the target roleplayer(s) will have to act accordingly in order to survive. If they succeed, they succeed. If they fail, I get to write up incredibly tragic deaths.[/spoiler] [i]A faint creaking was heard in the distance, beyond the walls of the Dojo, though clearly approaching the massive wooden door that lead into the stead upon the mountain. As the creaking drew closer, the denizens upon the stone wall could make out a truly beautiful thing - a carriage of fine redwood and what may have been an ornate gold decorating it's base, the wheels an oriental green and also adorned with the precious shining metal. The carriage was massive, at least fifteen feet tall, while it's steed was.. a giant of a metal dog. The monster of steel and titanium was easily twenty feet tall, it's paint job a rusty maroon. Two brilliant orange eyes stared up at the Dojo, a scaly nanite tongue exiting it's mouth as it panted, mimicking that of a real dog.[/i] [i]The painted window of the moving carriage would click open, it's rider pushing it's steel head out as it looked up at the looming shadow of the Japanese-style citadel. It's face was.. a brilliant blue circle, four spider-like claws of metal holding onto the insides of the door as it let out a giddy laugh, yet not through a seeable mouth, oddly enough. It's "face" beamed a brilliant cyan, as it yelled for it's dog,[/i] "Hurry, Speedwagon!" [i]in an oddly Indian accent, light-hearted and childish in proportion.[/i] [i]So, the carriage carried on.[/i] ------------------------------- [i]Luana did not expect so many people to be following the stupid carriage.[/i] [i]She had been resting upon a rock, as the carriage had parked itself outside of the Dojo's thick stone walls. It's vendor had set up contracts, jobs, operations, and more, for the denizens of the Dojo. Though she found no reason for it at all: he gave the people coins, just so they purchased his items.. with said coins. Why?[/i] [i]It didn't matter. The woman was waiting for more individuals on a current operation. In particular.. the assault on "Achilles".[/i] ------------------------------- [u][b]OPERATIONS[/b][/u] [b]Daily Assault[/b]: Achilles, The Immortal/Thetis [u]Location[/u]: Ko Rudo Mountain Range [u]Requirements[/u]: •Three-Six Characters (Each from a different RPer) [spoiler]•A three-man/four-man team must at least have one allow a perma-death, if it occurs. •A five-man team must have at least two allow a perma-death, if it occurs. •A six man team is the most difficult challenge available.

We can't afford to direct an assault in there head-on, and allow it to fail. We'll have to defeat their next raid in a defensive push - this time, in the seaside village of Arkaid.

But up in the Ko Rudo mountains.. we've heard that there's some rumors, of what could be an abandoned stockpile of weapons, armor, even tomes of ancient abilities. We need that, and certainly before our enemies arrive. [u]Rewards For Victory[/u]: +250 Crystalline Coins -[b]Mission received from Dojo Tester and Defender Victoria[/b]
