I'll post all logs of the games I run on this thread and notify my players of any changes.
This is last night's/this morning's game with Kokuten and Kyoki. Mostly backstory set-up. Some text has been blacked out because of spoilers.
In all probability, I won't be able to make it online tonight for another game; if access becomes a problem we can continue the game in this thread.

=Character generation follows in OOC and PM windows=
=Game Starts=
01[01] <@GodMan> =Squireship=
01[01] <@GodMan> The Temple of the Order of Reapers was small and almost hidden.
01[01] <@GodMan> entering with your caretaker/kidnapper you would see dark obsidian and jet forming most of temple
01[01] <@GodMan> the entrance was graven with images of death and flames, you may have thought it the doorway to Hell itself
01[01] <@GodMan> the entrance led to a hall, upon whose walls were carved images of men clad like the Reapers escorting you. In their hands they carried weapons of significance, perhaps these silent images were important members of the temple whose deeds rang throughout history, perhaps they died a silent death and were only remembered in these black walls hidden in the mountains.
01[01] <@GodMan> The hall led to a large, cavernous opening in which stood a great statue of death himself, stark white bones shining beneath a transparent black rock that made up his dark robes of office.
01[01] <@GodMan> You were led into a lower chamber, down curving flights of stairs to another doorway. This door was not like the entrance, instead of a peaked arch there was a perfectly carven ring set in the floor, beyond the threshold you could see a great castle in the far off distance atop a mountain peak, the landing to which the portal opened was a flagstone courtyard from which cable-cars suspended upon
01[01] <@GodMan> ropes of gleaming silver made their way between the courtyard and castle.
=Long posts are long=
01[01] <@GodMan> (You guys still with me?)
[01] <Giacomo> <Relatively>
01[01] <@GodMan> (Okay)
=So long=
01[01] <@GodMan> As you stepped through the portal and into the thin and whipping air of the mountains your training as a Paladin of the Order of Reapers had begun.
01[01] <@GodMan> You were apprenticed to an older Reaper and accompanied him on his journeys, learning the duties of a Reaper.
01[01] <@GodMan> You serve the god Nerull, an angel who rebeled from the rule of both Heaven and Hell, who oversees the balance between life and death.
01[01] <@GodMan> *serve
01[01] <@GodMan> A Reaper's life is mostly solitary; he meditates on matters philisophical and religious, sometimes his trance will be interupted by Nerull himself, who will give the Reaper a mission to which he is suited, or more often the closest to.
01[01] <@GodMan> The details of Nerull's mmachinations are often only revealed after the mission has been completed, so Reapers are given the expectation of wisdom in such matters.
01[01] <@GodMan> You have trained with blades, books, and magics most dark. You are an initiate Reaper in service to Nerull, God of Death.
=FYI: Training takes about eight years till Initiation=
01[01] <@GodMan> HE HAS CALLED YOU.
01[01] <@GodMan> The mission is this:
01[01] <@GodMan> A village has contracted a deadly plague.
01[01] <@GodMan> You are to make sure the plague is not stopped, capture or kill anyone who attempts to cure the village or prolong an infected person's life.
01[01] <@GodMan> You have been given your equipment upon arrival at the Citadel of Reapers.
01[01] <@GodMan> Nerull has given you a mental image of the fastest paths to take to the village.
[01] <Giacomo> Giacomo looked to his female ally, securing his schmitar to his side after recieving his equipment. "Are you ready? I'm not too keen on spending more time than I have to idling." He seemed speak lightly, almost as if he whispering in a normal voice.
[01] <Wren[]> Wren nodded meekly, wondering still what she was doing there. She strapped her halberd to her back and organized the rest of her equipment, not that there was that much. She nodded again to her partner, shuffling her feet a bit.
[01] <Giacomo> Giacomo arched a brow at her, then looked her up and down. "Nervous?"
[01] <Wren[]> A moment's thought before Wren just nodded. Nervous didn't even begin to describe it.
[01] <Giacomo> "Nerull steal your tounge?" Giacomo chuckled mockingly.
[02] <Wren[]> Wren blinked. "No...." she responded awkwardly.
=Minds are in the gutter=
03[02] * GodMan is now known as WordofJoss
=Resolved=
[02] <Giacomo> Giacomo laughed, like before it seemed to redicule her. "C'mon, people are waiting to get killed."
[02] <Wren[]> Wren shivered. "I know..." she replied simply.
01[02] <@WordofJoss> One of the Plague Steeds stamped its foot impatiently, it was no doubt reflecting on how slow these two Initiates were.
[02] <Giacomo> "See? The horses are getting tired of your cold feet." Giacomo continued his chuckling, and mounted his steed.
[02] <Wren[]> Wren followed silently behind, pulling herself up on the horse.
01[02] <@WordofJoss> Alomst immediately the undead stallions broke into a full gallop, unatural fire in their suken eye sockets; the ride would be hard and cold, like always.
01[02] <@WordofJoss> The quickest path would be several days across the mountain paths, slow going for horses that never tire. The longest path would be along the coast, but it was also the most open, taking over a week to traverse, but the two Reapers would be at a full gallop most of the time. The path that was between the two broke from the mountains early and wound into the nearby forest at the foothills and
01[02] <@WordofJoss> would take nearly six days to make it to the village.
01[02] <@WordofJoss> Despite the danger of the mountain range, nothing lived there, so only the terrain would be a hazard.
01[02] <@WordofJoss> Traveling down into the forest would take the Initiates into wilderness where barbarian tribes frequented and savage animals hunted. However, they would be able to hunt for belly-filling meat rather than subsist off of the tasteless and unfilling Plague Rations.
01[02] <@WordofJoss> The coastline path was the least dangerous, being mostly shallow fishing grounds and nest sites of large whiteheaded eagles. It was the most frequented by people though and they might ancounter Britannian patrols, or even worse, a roving band of Inquisitors (agents of the High Pope, second in power to the Divine Monarch) and Reapers were marked as dangerous outlaws, often branded with the charge
01[02] <@WordofJoss> of high treason against the crown.

03[02] * Giacomo is now known as Kokuten
02[02] * Kyoki ([email protected]) Quit
03[02] * WordofJoss is now known as Cy83r
=Lessons Learned: Cy83r likes to talk, Kyoki and Kokuten do fine without Cy83r's help (read: incessant bugging), Cy83r must refrain from derailing focus with gutter-mind, character generation takes a long time even without stat blocks=
=Game Notes=

Game Mechanics Notes: Reapers are a modification of the Paladin class who follow an altered version of Nerull (Neutral Evil God of Death, Murder, and general Evil) and act as enforcers of the metaphysical balance between life and death; all who dable in healing and necromancy are potential targets. Nerull's true aims are never known, his plots with the Reapers do seem to have a cold and calculated balance between good and evil actions. Mechanical alterations are still under process.
In all probability, I won't be able to make it online tonight for another game; if access becomes a problem we can continue the game in this thread.
