Moments around Haven

————————————————————-

Isabella stood above her cave, looking down on the land.

In her head, she was fighting a war, but here there was just the land she’d created inch by inch, rock by rock. It gave her strength.
She inhaled, the odd sensation of air swirling into her lungs almost able to be forgotten now as the scent of pine and wet earth calmed her.

“You won’t win this,” she sent him serenely. “This is my land. You are out of your depth.”

“Nice pun,” he returned.

“Thank you.”

“Why fight so hard for this?”

“Wouldn’t you fight just as hard to destroy the rivers you made?”

“Touche.” He struggled against the binding she had placed his mind in. “You will never take your true form again? How does that not enrage you?”

“All things are possible. This form is not so bad. And as long as I stay human, you do too.”

He snarled and mentally turned his back on her.

She inhaled again, locking down her dragon side. Carmen was coming soon; she could feel her footsteps over the earth.
Isabella opened her previously empty hand to find the new rock she’d created. She tucked it away into her pouch and made her way down to the cave.

Katarina wiped her blade in the grass and then, scowling, found a leaf to really clean it with.

“Messy,” commented Aiden.

She shrugged, inspecting the blade. “He could have come in alive.” She murmured something under her breath and the body burned behind her.

She walked resolutely away, Aiden quick on her heels.

“Back to Haven?” he asked her.

She tripped him, her hands throwing him to the ground before her and then she aimed her blade at his neck. “What mistake did he make?”

“He refused to come back with you.”

She paused, then laughed as she sheathed the blade on her hip. “I meant in the fight.”

Aiden got to his feet, seemingly unphased by her actions. “You’re angry,” he said quietly.

“We’re going back to Haven,” she answered instead. “What mistake did he make?”

“He left an opening in his guard after you threw the knife at him.”

“He made a mistake before that. Think on it and don’t speak until you can tell me what it was.”

They walked silently towards Haven.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know that even though the website is well under way, it is still in a transitory phase. A lot of the pages are place holder pages that exist as I build a skeleton for the site. No significant work will be done until after the May event when I can give Ray a tutorial on how to start filling the pages with the proper information which she has so graciously volunteered to do for us.

We will also start uploading pictures and all the other bells and whistles that must be done.

Dont forget that the rulebook and PrC document links do indeed work, giving you all the information you need to play the game.

As per usual I will keep you updated as we build the site more and more. If you have any feed back stop on by the forums and let us know what you think, or what you would like to see.

Thanks

-Mike

Here are all of the PrCs.

This is the most up to date file, and is the version people should be using. I know people have been copying and pasting from the forums and creating their own documents. I cannot force you to do anything, but my suggestion is you delete those files, or put them wherever old files go to die on your computers so that we dont have multiple versions of lists running around.

No actual content has been changed recently, but some grammar and spelling errors have been fixed, some other things have been cleaned up as well (formatting).

Each list has a page break after it so if you only want to print one list it is easier for you to do, although if you print the entire document it will make it a bit longer.

Remember, unless you have your PrCs 100% memorized with an eidetic lock, you should have a printed copy on you at the events.

So I was asked at the event why Nemeans cannot be chosen. I gave a quick answer, which I was happy with at the time. But than I went home and really thought about it, and considering all the lore of Nemeans and the deity, I came up with what I feel is a much better answer.

Nemeans strive to be the best at whatever it is they do. What if they are striving to be the best guile rogue (RP-Con man) or an undercover agent for the Empire which requires them to lie constantly?

What if they want to be a monk who specializes in Drunken master?

You see where this is going.

To many things exist that if you want to be the best at them you have to go against the tenets of Herena. Herena made her children what they are, and loves them and accepts them for that. She calls many clerics from Nemeans, and many Nemeans become Divine Adepts (the same thing as Chosen except you get a list).

So why can whispers be chosen of Herena?

Well the real answer is, when that racial was written, the game wasn’t completely fleshed out. Herena was going to be the god of mind/intellect and ended up becoming what she is today, and we never went back and changed the racial, but in reality we don’t need to.

Herena is the god of truth, oaths and retribution. Whispers because of their upbringing almost always end up in one of these categories for the Empire. Whether you are a rogue assassin (IG equivalent of a CIA agent) or a psionic interrogator, you are in some capacity living out these ideals in service of the Empire. The natural skill sets and upbringing of the Whispers lend them towards a life style that would serve Herena in one way or another.

Hope this clear some stuff up.

Thanks Josh for all of the bookmarks, I am sure people will greatly appreciate it.

First off, we set up some placement forums for the time being.

the same old link still works. Forums

So these are phpBB forums, and they are a bit clunky, crowded and annoying to use. We grabbed what we could.

Go to this post after you make an account.
April 13th-15th HSRP Camp Daddy Allen

Its in the generic placeholder forum. The name of the post is the event date.

Please sign up if you can so we have an idea of the amount.

Also feel free to make any other threads for anything else you want to talk about at all, including rules questions, lore questions etc.

Any back ground questions, or anything else use the address havenlarpstaff@gmail.com

Now, in case you have been completely out of the loop let me give you a quick run down.

-We built a website, had a bunch of problems.
-Found out that wordpress doesnt work on windows based domains
-Switched to linux based domain
-Found out the forums dont work on linux based
-Had all kinds of compatibility problems, not alot of time to fix them.
-Havent rebuilt the website yet (which is unfortunate because its REALLY cool when its done)
-Purchased a windows based subdomain to throw the old forums up on
-Told by godaddy it would be ready weds before the event…long story short we were lied too.
-Build a placeholder forum last minute for people to sign up

Again, we apologize for this. We did not foresee any of these problems, if we had we wouldnt have made this move when me, nick and zabby are at our busiest. Also remember, none of us are website experts, which is why we were doing this, to set up a site that non web designers could manage, which we spent alot of time doing, only for it to get torn down because we had the wrong domain type.

Its been long and arduous, and really annoying.

But hey, lets get to the event, and have a good time.

Hello all,

The Haven Larp website is in the process of being updated. There have been several issues with compatibility between the forums and the WordPress site. Please be patient while solutions are being found for these problems.

Thank you,
Nick
