The Journey Home, an open party OP.

[Rilkar Olden & Sindyr]

    So the idea here will be that Rilkar has by this point, been on Berk for at least a year or so, he's still getting used to the way of life and the weather and such, but he's decided it was time for him to return home and finish the first major portion of his quest for vengeance.  He will be asking for a party of four (including himself) to assist him.  They will get the chance to explore the wide open world that Rilkar hails from, including getting to see the battlegrounds and ruins of Heirah. 
    There are some planned encounters between the party, angry tavern goers, the cult mentioned in Rilkar's bio, bandits, angry wildlife and maybe an Irate dragon.  The land will be vast and likely last well beyond a good number of pages.  It will be a very active topic on my part due to setting the world and weather for my posts, creating NPC's and baddies.  It will really test the abilities of the members involved.

There will be a series of plots in new locations:

The western lands/forests/lakes/etc.
The open roads/trade routes
Guild/Tradesman taverns in small towns
The battlegrounds/Ruins of Heirah
The western mountains
The Lair of the Mountain Tyrant. (This depends on Red's approval and subject to change)

I'm looking for a group of 3 people to join Rilkar in his journey.  Flying dragons are recommended but not needed.  The original mode of travel will be the cleared out ship Rilkar originally brought to Berk.  Space will be made for any dragons brought along, as they will need to rest.  Flying or swimming dragons will be assistance in pulling the ship so they can arrive faster.  This will either be written out for a few short posts, or just mentioned as they begin in the western lands.  Mixed skills would be great, a healer would be an asset, a second fighter and some kind of tracker as well would be amazing.

Sorry that she doesn't really fit into healer, fighter or tracker categories but I think Solvi can be of use to you. She has a good memory, making sure that the group wouldn't be going in circles, and she is a capable fighter if there is someone to cover archery in the group. Along with that, if we ever run out of food for one reason or another, she can easily catch something with a sharp stick, spear, or a rod. Otherwise, the rider would try her best to be useful, though a large portion of her interest in going with you would be to see new places. Scallop, her dragon, would at least be capable of protecting her rider and could probably help drag the ship along, though not too quickly.

you're a fisher? How good would you be at hunting as well? I'm sure hunting in Berk isn't quite a huge hobby due to the rocky crags and spires that make up the island. If she can fish with a spear, she can hunt with one, and that would be helpful as well. Just know that the larger the target your dragon poses, the more people of the less likable sort will take an interest. If you're unable to fend for yourself, if your dragon gets captured, you're in some deep trouble.

It may actually provide a bit of an interesting perspective into the story as well. I know when I finally get my dragon its not going to be any smaller. Depending on the dragon type as well, if it's a tidal dragon, it would have a hard time, a very very hard time, getting around in the western lands. There's a large lack of open water. There's lakes and rivers, but no open bodies like seas or oceans anywhere but the coast.

Plan for large forests, open prairies, wide mountain ranges, long rivers of various sizes, lakes and freshwater sources including springs, cave water, and other things common to a fantasy European style. This RP will obviously have a lot of changes in the near future due to the fact Rilkar has a way to go before he leaves.

Shameless bump guys, The time is coming up soon for a lucky group of people to go on an epic journey full of cultists, bandits, dragons, ruins and other kinda fun shit. WHO'S IN!

[Rilkar Olden & Sindyr]

  Well guys, its come to pass.  Lets get volunteers going and get this scheming on the road.  I have a general Idea of what's going to happen, but with how people react, it should be a good amount of challenge to adapt.

Raegan can help. Her Ambassador dragon can help with the ship and Raegan is pretty good with a sword.

Haha all the ambies can come for RR PLOTNESS YEAAAHHH

If Sven and Beorn pick up a RR tracker agent on the way back it can trigger the start of our RR plot and by then rilkar will car about sven/hate RR enough to come join the raid party to save him when he gets caught

[Rilkar Olden & Sindyr]

If sven and beorn go, that leaves one open spot.

Also, They can be further investigating the ruins of the city, and find the traces of RR that Rilkar misses since he's not from or familiar with there. They could fill him in on why they are deserters and what happened and the rescue plot.

[Redkitebait]

And rilkar is like OH SHIT IM WITH DISHONOURABLE DESERTER CRIMINALS HAVE AT THEE AND STABS THEM IN THEIR KIDNEYS

woops sugar rush

[Rilkar Olden & Sindyr]

while yes, they are dishonorable, finding out that Red Rock was the reason his homeland fell to begin with, might make him not want to kill them
