Ten years have passed since the Battle of Kaluge. The North is at peace. Princess Agente Varvande was revealed as an Oracle - the first of that race of supernaturally powerful sorceresses to live in a thousand years. Renouncing her royal blood, the heroine of the fabled Last Prophecy has established an Academy in the sacred Mount Okholt of the Dragonclans . . . but now, something changes.
Far to the south, the powerful, revenge-driven Aerilian Empire marshals its legions. They face the small coastal nation of Ichondor: three hundred years ago, the Northern Nations carved this small chunk of mountain-ringed desert from the Aerilian heartland. They never forgot. Thirty years ago, again the North aided Ichondor in taking territory from Aerilia in the Mage's War - and the Empire seeks vengeance.
But Ichondor is a barren, tough land, ruled by petty warlords and tyrant robber barons. The Empire of Jinon and the Kingdoms of Ethara and Kepholon, the ruling powers of the North, cannot decide if Ichondor's right to independence even in an ineffectual form is worth starting another Mage's War over. But that is not what truly matters.
An Oracle, one of the recent graduates from the Academy, has traveled to Ichondor to investigate rumors of dragons and magicians disappearing or being found dead. She has not returned.
Now, a team of volunteers from the Academy - mere magicians, Oracles-in-training, and even wandering Rangers of magical talent have joined together with one purpose: they will find Elena Farol, or discover what happened to her. To succeed, they must journey into one of the last outright war zones on the face of a peaceful planet - and perhaps they will not simply find Elena, but themselves buried in the chaos.
Good fortune favor the bold . . . they will need it.

Welcome to TLPAC: The Hunt. This is an action chatroom - a game of dice and roleplaying, in a chatroom much like this one I'm linking to right now. You play as one of the volunteer magicians on the hunt for Elena Farol.
The Oracular Academy only teaches those considered to be moral and just defenders of all life across the face of Haven - therefore, no character the GM(c'est moi) would consider villainous or evil is allowed.
To join, fill out this character sheet:
To recap:
Name: This is your character's name.
Gender: This is your character's gender.
Ability: If your character is female, you are allowed to be an Oracle-in-training if you so desire. There is no gameplay difference, but Oracles are nominally far more powerful than any other magician, if you wish to RP from that perspective. You cannot be a male Oracle.
Age: This is your character's age.
Appearance: This is what your character looks like.
Magic Color: This is the color of your character's magic. All colors are acceptable except any derivative of "clear".
HP: This is your hit points, which decide how many hits you take before dying. It starts at 30. Exchange 3XP for 1HP to improve.
XP: This is your Experience Points, which decide what skills you can get and how high you can level them up. You start with 150. Invest 5XP in a skill to gain one level in it. You cannot level any skill up above 10 at game start. You can also convert 5XP to 1SP, which is spent on one level. This has no difference from the simpler method earlier, but I wrote all the costs on the lists below in SP values so I will tell you that 1SP=5XP just to avoid having to redo everything.
Royals: This is how many Royals you have. You can convert XP to Royals at a 1:1 ratio. Royals are the standard Northern currency, and exchange well enough into the Southern variant that they're basically the same coin despite a different design.
Specialty 1: This is one of your two Specialty schools. You convert XP to levels at a 4:1 ration in these, instead of 5:1. Choose from the Schools list below the character sheet.
Specialty 2: This is one of your two Specialty schools. You convert XP to levels at a 4:1 ration in these, instead of 5:1. Choose from the Schools list below the character sheet.
Penalty: This is your Penalty school. You convert XP to levels at an 8:1 ratio here. Choose from the Schools list below the character sheet.
Locked: This is your Locked school. You cannot take levels in this school. Choose from the Schools list below the character sheet.
Schools: This is where you list what levels you have in what Schools. Choose from the Schools list below the character sheet.
Skills: This is where you list what levels you have in what Skills. Choose from the Skills list below the character sheet.
Perks: This is where you list what perks you have. Choose from the Perks list below the character sheet.
Items: This is where you list what items you have. Choose from the Items list below the character sheet.
Bio: This is where you get to play - tell us what your character's story is. Why are you training at the Academy? Why did you volunteer to rescue Elena?
The lists follow:
Schools:
Investing 2SP into a School or Skill gives you a +1 Modifier with it. Overall maximum investment is 30SP. You cannot invest more than 10SP/50XP at game start in any one School or Skill.
Skills:
Investing 2SP into a School or Skill gives you a +1 Modifier with it. Overall maximum investment is 30SP. You cannot invest more than 10SP/50XP at game start in any one School or Skill.
All combat skills give the related weapon of your choice for free upon taking them.
Perks:
School Spells:
Potions:
Can carry 2+ your Potions modifier worth of potions at once.
Inventory Items:
Max 3 Inventory Items at a time.
And that's about it. First mission will be at five EST tomorrow night if there's enough players, or Saturday if I need to wait another day. See you in Haven!

Brilliant.
and some of us accepted. Well, okay mostly me accepted. Alright, only me accepted. But perhaps I should start at the begining. In the begining the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very unhappy and is widely regarded as a bad move. Skip forward a few eternities and we are hit by a sandstorm and stumble into an ancient ruin while trying to shelter ourselves. Inside we found a bard (who also happened to be the former dark lord), and who explained to us that the white man was our true enemy and that Agente expected us all to die. After a giggle fit in which I watched everyone else complain at how cryptic he was about everything, which is usually a complaint reserved for me, we, or rather I, and no this isn't the unlimited power bit, allowed him to cast a spell over that ring megs carries around, as well as producing a duplicate. Then, following a long and tedious conversation about trust, we allowed him to 'take us to Marigold'.
) and everyone else (henceforth to be known as team spoilsport 
), over wether or not this was a good deal. When swords started being draw and spells being cast, all of which was done by team spoilsport I rush to add, the white man signalled for his minions, the black men (no racist undertones here, no sir), to prevent team spoilsport from stopping what appeared to be on the verge of a deal.
