[pbem/www] Seeking Players: Shadows of the Tower From: Eric Davis <globalenv@yahoo.com> Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 21:47:17 +0000 Shadows of the Tower -------------------- The old mage sighed as his strained eyes scanned the reports in the dim flickering light provided by a single lonely candle. He idly fingered the feathered end of a quill pen as his expression grew more and more serious. There would be no avoiding the problem any longer. Setting down the papers he massaged a creased and wrinkled forehead with ink stained fingers, furrowing his brow as he strained for a solution, not for the first time. A small rat scampered up onto the table, sensing his master's emotions, and produced a small deck of cards and began a comical trick. "Not now my friend," he sighed. The cards vanished as quickly as they had appeared and the rodent studied the paper as if it could read what was written. Although that was one skill the familiar had never learned, it managed a worried expression with an equally worried glance for it's master The wizard stood from his desk and paced over to a window, and closed the shutters against the cold northernly wind. All could wait until morning. Nothing could stop the dawning of the day, not even something so grave as what lay before him, nay all the Tower, in these dark times. * * * * * Across the land light slowly seeped in over the mountains and oceans, bringing with it a new day. It was the dawn of a new era, one in which the days of legend were long past, and the world had become focused on the expanding trade, the politics of countries, and rural life. It was an era of change, an era in which reality seemed to be growing out of hero's, dragons, and wizards, forcing them into the nooks and crannies of the world as if to say "These were the playing of our youth, such nonsense has no place here now." But such powerful creatures as dragons and wizards are not discarded lightly, and with time, all things may change. ------------------------ I am looking a few more players for my campaign "The Shadow of the Tower", see my website at www.5596.org/towershadow/ for more information. I plan on starting each character out on an individual basis through e-mail, then slowly merging the seperate plot lines. Up
