Welcome to Thieves World, the Rp based of a series of anthology novels of the same name. If you know what thieves world is great but you if don't just hold your ponies I will explain. 

 

But first a couple of things. First this is kind complex RP so you need to have some experience in Rping. Second I changed the empires a bit so we could feature ponies in it yay. third I was do not plan to use the established characters from the series because of continuity and it would confused the new players. And lastly this is not a survival Rp so you don't need to search every single room you come in.

 

Setting: After years of what it looks like a never ending war the Griffins finally took hold of the pony empire. Now ponies have to obey the Griffin and their king though that is not the focus of our story. Our story starts in a trading city called Sanctuary. (Best way of describe the city I would say a giant Mos Eiley full of thieves and cut throats and all the lovely stuff) In this particular city there is a lot of political tension between those who support the New Empire, those who support the Old Empire, and those who want complete anarchy and turn the city essentially into a City Estate. Besides that it is also happening the witch hunt, where unicorns suspected of consulting with demons are to be hanged. You start the game as a refugee entering the city for the first time. 

 

Healing/Health: In this game healing is not like most of D20 games where you use healing spells and there you go 8 hp back, no healing here is very hard it's very dark ages where if you got a sword wound you might die and even if you survive you'll still have a giant scar across your chest. So healing is almost non-existent.

 

Combat: Like almost everything in this game I will roll a D20 and you guys do your actions. 20 is good 1 is bad. (I try to keep this simple because the game is already complex as it is) Remember in this RP the enemies don't start easy and then they become harder, no in this game the enemy has the same chance to kill you. So due to the healing factor and the enemy actually has a chance of killing you combat should be used always as a last resort

 

Persuasion/barter: This will be a great part of this game most of conflicts can be resolved by persuasion but persuasion here doesn't work as simply you roll a 20 and you win, no the way it works is 50% of your chance of succeeding is the die the other is your persuasion to the person. Yeah you have to find a creative way to persuade this person or even barter for product on a shop. So half is your luck half is your ability to persuade someone.

 

Magic: Unlike most of D20 magic cannot be fired at will in this game. Magic in this game requires a lot of preparation like chanting and making symbols on the ground and rituals. Example "I want it to rain today" You put candles around a map, drop a bit of water in it and start chanting for about 20 minutes. And by god is gonna rain today, or you wanna cast lighting from the skies that's a more powerful version of that spell you do the same thing place a marker on the map chant for an hour and soon enough lighting hits that guy's house. So magic is powerful but you need to prepare it. If you wanna play as a mage you need to prepare ahead.

 

Alchemy: Because playing as a mage who can only fight if he has spells ready would be really boring so players especially mages can use alchemy to make different poisons or greek fire, and even acid flasks (imagine throwing that at a dude's face)

 

 

I think I covered the basics okay so let's go to character creation

 

 

Name:

 

Race:

 

Earth ponies: Most citizens of Sanctuary nothing really important about them :P

 

Pegasus: Normally thieves living in the slums of the city and stealing from the rich and giving to the poor keeping for themselves

 

Unicorns: Shunned by society due to their magic often accused of making deals with demons and witchcraft

 

Griffin: Probably the most hated race among those who support the Old Empire

 

Class: (I'll keep it simple just because it's already too much going on)

 

Warrior

 

Rogue/Thief

 

Mage (Unicorn only)

 

Political Belief: Griffin Empire, Pony Empire, City Estate or none

 

Personal Belief: (Do you consider yourself to be a noble person neutral or you're just out for self interest, remember this might go well with your bio)

 

Bio: (Please we are probably all in high school at least a paragraph for your bio)

 

Description: (Picture or a brief description)

 

Life Time Goal: (This is probably the most important it will most likely dictates where the story will go)

 

One last note I'l be using this to roll the die rolz.org, and only my rolls count other than that please don't just go one liners it really brakes the mood, and don't let all those rules and concepts scare you, this should be fun and enjoyable experience. 

 

I'll see you all in Sanctuary. Farewell

 

EDIT: Sorry forgot to put description

Name: Gaelic O,foal

Appearance: light green fur, darker green and brown mane with a tree cutie mark, he usually wears his damaged back/blue order of Luna plate armour or an order robe (pic of pony tomorrow).

Race:unicorn


Class:Mainly warrior


Political Belief:Pony Empire

Personal Belief: Gaelic does what he believes is right, but only from his perspective. He is unfortunately known to greatly harm or even kill those in the way of the "will of Luna".

Bio: He is a knight of the religious order of Luna. He was forced into the life as his father and his father before him had you served luna. The order spent the war as bodyguards to Luna and accompanied her into battle zealously. But after her exile they scattered into hiding a dishonored mess, Gaelic fled to sanctuary and survived as a mercenary up until now.

Life Time Goal:His reason to live is his quest to liberate Luna and bring her back to the world, reband the order and free the pony empire of the tyranny of the griffin empire in her name.

Name: Racket

Race: Griffin

Class: Rouge

Political Belief: Pony Empire

Personal Belief: Racket is one that does not approve of the new empire. Their harsh and cruel ways just do not seem good to Racket.

Bio: Racket was immediatly forced out of his home into Griffin Empire Soldier training as a lad to be just another conscript. Taught the evil ways of the empire, Racket should be a perfect little indocnorated soldier, right? Wrong. Racket fled from the training academy a week after he arrived, knowing that Griffons were better than ponies was a lie. Both ponies and griffins were equals. Why couldn't they see that? Eventually, he hid and snuck his way to sanctuary  

Description: Panther back, Regular front, faded griffin empire academy paint on top feathers.

Life Time Goal: To see the pony empire back in glory with griffons and ponies respecting eachother

((Sorry for double post but I decided we could work out the fact of the gods in this game because it is a really cool subplot, but if you are choosing a god to devote to don't choose one of the darker mature gods like the god of murder and rape no I don't want anything like that but the moon and the sun I guess it would be fine))

 

((Also on a side note the gods are not dead they are exiled to another plane so some ponies keep praying to gods that are literally not there anymore, but there are all sorts of prophecies that the gods will come back and the Griffins will fall and all that, I'll explain more later about all those subplots as the story goes))

((Just gonna use the thief/werewolf character I made for the Secret World, without the werewolf aspect of course. That way you already know who the character is and how I use her. Good thing everything pretty much fits with this one too o_o
 
Name: Kianna
 
Race: Pegasus
 
Class: Thief
 
Political Belief: None (Self-preservation)
 
Personal Belief: Self-Interest
 
Bio: Kianna's childhood was a rough one. When she was only three, her home burned to the ground, taking both of her parents with it and leaving her to struggle for existence on whatever she could find. She had no home and no hope as she wandered the forest for four days, eating nothing but berries and foliage until she could take it no more and fell beside the road, only a mile from the nearest town. She waited to die, to be eaten by some ravenous creature and be removed from the cruel world she found herself stuck in. It all seemed hopeless until a strange mare found her lying by the roadside one night. The mare growled at the foal's whines, cries, and pleas for help. Far too much work, better just to leave her for the carrion birds. She prepared to leave the helpless foal before her but she simply could not do it. She could not bring herself to end this foal's miserable life, but she could offer to make it better. She could give her a gift.
 
The mare took Kianna home and nurtured her in the ways of the thief, teaching her to take what she needed to survive; to wield the knife, bow, and claw and use them without mercy if it was necessary. She taught her how to rifle through pockets quickly and quietly, freshly-stolen purse in one hand and a blade in the other. She taught her to sneak silently through the night and remain undetected, to disappear into the shadows. These things do not make for quick friends, but they do keep her alive and it feeds her hatred of ponykind for making her the way she is.
 
Description: Kianna is a dark-coated pegasus with a thin body structure and a silvery mane and tail. Golden-amber eyes peer out from under her black hood and her body is covered by a black cloak as well. She wears thin leather armor under her cloak to protect her somewhat from physical blows in an emergency. Underneath the armor and cloak, her body is scarred deeply from previous encounters, days spent in jail, and the result of failures she was punished for during the rigorous training her new 'mother' put her through.
 
Life Time Goal: Simply put: Out-survive the others at any cost.
 
If there's anything in there I left about the werewolf thing, just ignore it. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to be active for a while, I'm extremely busy outside of Brohoof at the moment and I'm not sure how long this will last. I'll try to say something if I feel that this will be the case.))

((Welcome and well met I'[m your humble story teller Spoony Tudexd and with this we shall enter Thieves World))

 

((Every one of you have 20 gold pieces, Not for long )) 

 

After months on a refugee boat you finally reached the glorious trading city that is Sanctuary. You got of the boat being shuffled and pushed around by the others refugee as they make their way out of the boat and into the city. As the masses slowly decrease you find yourself next to 3 other ponies and a griffin. You walk through the port in direction of the city gates, but you are stopped at the checkpoint.

 

A griffin wearing a medium chain mail armor with a red tunic covering it and a symbol of the new empire, you can easily see that he's the one in charge. Together with him there are two earth ponies wearing a reinforced leather armor and the same tunic above it and a pegasus with simple leather armor and the tunic. 

 

The griffin stops you and says " HALT. Foreigner's tax 15 gold"

 

((Being the first encounter I'm gonna help a bit yes you can use persuasion whenever you want that's actually encouraging or you can pay him or fight him (Though that's not a good idea)))

Kianna stepped forward, ignoring the others standing beside her. To her they were just passengers on the ship with nothing to offer her. The griffin spoke but she had heard this song before. She looked around to make sure nopony was listening; she knew the amount of profit that could be turned from 'tax.' Leaning in close, she grinned and said, "This is obviously a shakedown. You might be able to fool the rest of the idiots that come here, but it's the same everywhere." She flicked her tail a couple times in contemplation before speaking again, "Look, we both know which side of the coin is shinier, so how's about we square this out? I'm looking for information and you're looking for coin. Now, I'm looking for one piece of information and I imagine something in this bag will help me," she shook the bag gingerly, letting the gold inside jingle audibly, "So, where can I find a good fence? Or perhaps a doyen, if that's what they're called here?"

 

((Also, you gave no background for Thieves World at all, so I have literally nothing to go off of at this point. Can you add a brief description of the twelve or so books in the first post? Just something to show the world we're in, not necessarily a description of every novel.))

((I'm only planning on using the setting for the Rp the stories would be too difficult to follow and continuity would be all over the place, but in basics The town in this part of history where one empire has conquered the other so people are not really conformed with this change yet they have to obey the new government so there is a lot of political debates and even some rebellion in the city with that there is also the fact that the gods of the old empire were exiled by the gods of the new empire, and to throw more fire in the wood I added the witch hunt which is necessary anyone who is suspected of consulting themselves with demons and devils are to be burn at the stake, The story will from your personal life goal whether is trying to take arms and rebel against the government or get revenge on someone This is not a pre set campaign this you creating your own story I only gave you the stetting that's why I said it was so important  the life time goal so you can pursue the goal on this setting. The whole story will go after your decisions and choices.))

 

The guard steps backward seeing that this particular pony knew what she was doing. "Uhh yes, *cough*" He leaned close to her and whispered " That would be 5 coins" He stepped back again "Right uhh if you're looking for the Tavern you go straight and turn left" "NEXT" He shouted

 

In  another checkpoint  Shan'ema simply payed the guard and he opened the little gate  for the unicorn.

((Thanks, I meant that I didn't really know how the town was set up or what was going on, but I guess now that I look back on that statement, it would be more realistic to learn about it in-rp. Carry on.))

 

Kianna nodded appreciatively, "Thank you, at least there are still some willing to do... business." She divvied out five gold pieces and set them carefully into his claws with a grin, she was already beginning to like this town. Even though he didn't know of any fences in particular, she felt that she had basically just bought herself the most detailed city map she could buy: the tavern. In her line of work, the tavern had grown to be one of the most crucial places that a thief or assassin could go if they were in need of information or a particular pony's whereabouts. This would be her first destination, anything else from there was just a bonus.

 

With another nod at the guard, she trotted down the street, following his directions to the letter. Kianna took in as many landmarks as she could in an attempt to remember where this particular tavern was, seeing as it was so close to the docks there was no doubt that new ponies would be here fresh off the boat and their pockets might need lightening. Not to mention the drinks either... and gold is good too... she thought with a sly grin when the tavern's sign finally came into sight. She was almost watering at the mouth as she pushed the door open and the smell of fresh ale and honey rushed out to greet her warmly. Mmm... Home, sweet home.

 

((Ambiance/Mood))

Spoiler

 

The inside of the two-story tavern was cramped and darkly-lit by candelabras and a rather large hanging chandelier dripping with wax. The smell of mead and ale was strong, accompanied heavily by loud conversation, laughter, and music. The two or three musicians were quite busy appeasing the drunk and happy ponies dancing in the right half of the tavern while the left half was nearly full of ponies playing cards and other games of chance with a few ponies drinking happily at the bar. It was a certainty that there was at least one pony in here that knew most of what she sought: the barkeeper.

 

She slid her way up onto an empty bar stool and put a hoof down on the table just loud enough to get his attention. With her other hoof she lowered her hood and glanced around at the others nearby while they drank, taking a quick stock of anything on their person in case she saw something she wanted.

The bartender heard the new pony sitting on the bar and went to him. He couldn't see who was under the hood but then again in a town like this is better not to ask questions "So what you're going to be having sir" He spitted on one of the cups and cleaned it. The bartender eyed the pony for a bit. "Are you also interested in a room we have one last one"

 

 

Right after passing the gate Shan'ema sees a cross road and a sign: To the left you'll find the Tavern To the right Low town and forward the Market.

Kianna sighed, deciding not to correct his mistake. Her feminine voice would accomplish it anyways. "Mead, if you will. As for the room, we'll see how I feel afterwards."

The bartender noticed the voice and  give her a little smirk, after screaming "MARIE THE MEAD QUICK" An earth pony mare wearing a rugged brown dress walked out of a back door with a mug of mead "You don't have to yell hun I'm always here" She said in a seductive way.The bartender sent her away and brought his attention back to the costumer he was more secure now knowing that it was a mare. "So what brings you to this little town of ours sugar?"

Kianna turned her eyes to the bartender without turning her head, Ugh... Can't go anywhere without somepony trying to flirt. As if. She downed half the cup placed in front of her and wiped the liquid from her mouth. "I'm here for what everypony else is here for: to turn a profit. So I'm lookin' for a fence. Who can I see to sell my..." She paused, chugging the rest of the mead before setting it back down in front of her and pushing it forward with a tap on the table, "Less-than-honestly acquired goods to?"

((Here goes nothing, though I have low hopes on the result as I still consider myself rusted over in terms of RPing :P))

 

'Foreigner tax'. The profit behind even pretending to have instated such a thing wasnt lost on Crimson, and these fellas didn't strike him as the trustworthy type.

However, he had been forced to pack light, pretty much sticking with the 20 gold pieces in his pocket, and the thougt of surrendering a good portion of them for a shakedown was far from appealing.

 

He stepped up to the guard, giving the suroundings a quick glance to assure himself no one would hear, then leaned in closer.

"Look, I was informed the guards here had been briefed on my arrival, as my boss, your king, sent me here on official buisness to deliver a message to the nobility of this fine little town, and I do not think your king would appreaciate it at all if I have to turn back just because I wasn't supplied to pay this obvious attempt at a shakedown on refugees, and by guards evidently not having been thought important enough to even know I was arriving", he spoke plainly, though allowing is voice to betray a sense of ice-cold efficiency.

 

It was a damn near desperate attempt at a lie, but having spent years in a society where lies and deceit were near second nature, it seemed to flow awfully naturall for even being that far fetched.. The only question now being how inteligent these fools actually were, as it sufficed to question why the griffon army would use pegasi as messengers.

 

"However, I am willing to compromise, and not tell the king about this little transgression of yours to spare you the punishment"

"Shall we say, the 'tax' is lowered to 5 gold, and you have my silence?"

"Oh!" The bartender chuckled "You're so you're one of those ponies" He leaned against the bar table and said "Well I might have heard of some place of the sort but my memory escapes me" He grinned at her.

 

 

 

 

The guard eyed the pegasus carefully. "The king eh?" He looked at the other guards. "Do you have any proof that you're working for the king?" The guard asked

Kianna licked her lips, leaning a bit farther forward across the table with a curl twisting its way into the corners of her mouth as she got closer and closer to his face, feigning interest. Flirting hmm? Now that I think about it, It's worked before...

 

Before reaching him, she stopped and retracted her head back across the table, "You'd take money from a mare like that? For shame. I had heard that the stallions here were elegant and well-bred. I guess if my presence isn't wanted I could always just..." She trailed off as she started to stand up and turn to leave, hoping her 'allure' would work. If not, she always kept a backup plan ready. He would have to earn every gold piece from her.

Kianna smiled to herself, a faint feeling of satisfaction setting itself into her features as a warmth of victory spread through her body. She was thoroughly enjoying herself thus far, Perhaps I've finally found my home.

 

Kianna acquiesced and stopped, turning back to the table to place her hooves back on the bar. "Well, when you put it that way... I guess I can stick around for a while longer..." She tapped near the cup for a refill and spoke, "So, where can a mare go around here to make some money for shiny things of questionable origin?"

The guard eyed the pegasus carefully. "The king eh?" He looked at the other guards. "Do you have any proof that you're working for the king?" The guard asked 

 

"The King knows about the consistent turmoil in this city and thought it best I don't look official, incase of an ambush, or worse"

"And with the better portion of your forces still occupied elsewhere to quell the riots from people still supporting the old regime, I voluntered to step in as who can get around better then the "riff raff" of the pony kind"

 

It was as he feared, they did show a certain ammount of brains, so this would maybe have to turn ugly.

 

"But I suppose this would maybe suffice, in terms of credentials"

 

He pulled out a scroll, neatly rolled up and sealed with a wax sigil of the griffon empire.

 

The entire thing was a forgery, and a cheep one at that as it was essentially just a piece of paper, and some melted wax having been molded to the sigil with the help of a ring he stole in the previous town from a rather wealthy griffon.

 

"If you still do not believe me, I suppose I'll leave it to you to contact supperiors and check with them, you'll know where to find me once the flaying stops for having disrupted an order issued by the king himself".

 

He turned around, preparing to leave, but just about giving them enough time to attempt to change their mind.

He could allways try again in one of the other gates if these still proved smart enough to question him.

((Second mug, from now on I will roll to see how much you're drunk))

 

The mare came from the back door and poured some more mead on her mug. The bartender turned to the mare "Well miss if you're looking for work I would suggest work here as one of my girls but I see you're not that type of pony so I'll be brief Low Town you want make a quick buck talk to one of the crime lords there I'm sure somepony like you could get work there, about the questionable items you're gonna have to pay for this information hun"

 

Crismon 20 ((Awesome roll))

 

 The guard looking at Crismon suddenly cowered in fear as he saw the Griffin empire symbol He quickly bowed to the pegasus and led him into the city "I'm sorry of the hassle M'lord"

 

Crismon walked to the same road as the others looking at a sign that said tavern right, Low Town left, Market forward.

"Well, that wasn't so bad, was it? I figure the rutters in, Low Town, was it? I figure they'll have a source. How much?" She asked, downing the mead again, her head feeling a bit lighter than before. Two is enough, let's not overdo this on the first day. Who knows what he or any of these other mud-bathing stallion-rags would do if I passed out here.

She reached into her pouch and pulled out 4 round coins, placing them on the table beside her empty cup. "I'll take stock first, then we'll see how everything looks. Thanks for the drinks." She stood up from the bar and headed outside, pulling her hood back up to cover her head. Surely she could find some more useful leads in this Low Town. Seemed like the place to be for a pony of her profession.

 

((I'll let you describe Low Town if you want, I don't know enough about it and don't want to butcher it))

There really was something odd about a city like Sanctuary, that much was for sure.

In the typical scenario you would find a trading city like this in a rather well planned, maintained, and governed position, but the more Crimson saw and familiarized himself with, the more it reminded him of the slums back home, where the person next to you would slit your throat if you so much as look at them wrong.

 

It felt like home.

 

Looking at the large and assumingly periodic influx of refugees, a good ammount of coin also ciculated within these walls, however exactly how much he could "lighten" from other ponies at a time was questionable if all guards were doing the same trick.

Either way, wouldnt surprise me if most of them head towards the tavern after coughing up that fortune, seeing it appears to be close to the docks, and no shame for a "Messenger" to stop for a drink he thought, feeling a familiar tingle in the skin from thinking he was watched,

 

The tavern was also as good as place as any to do some asking around to gain information

((Zombie Crismon is already inside the town you need to pass through the guard's toll booth))

 

Kianna reached Low Town a depressing and filthy place where the poorest of poor lived where ponies would cut your throat for a loaf of bread. This place.. this little piece of hell where creatures were cast aside from society by those who say they are better than them because of their wealth. In this part of Sanctuary where houses are built out of clay. In this part of land literally forgotten by god full of lying and cheats. There was no place more miserable than here.

 

Just as Kianna entered Low Town and the first thing she sees is those two filly unicorns pick pocketing and poor old lady's saddle bag and running away. She hopelessly tried to run after them but they were gone. Shortly after she sees some guards just kicking and beating a poor stallion certainly a lovely place to live in.

 

 

Crismon walked into the full tavern and the Bartender looked at him "Eh? Another one this town seems to be getting a lot of new faces" He chuckled "Well I guess this is the price of a war"

"Heh, Ironicly war is about the one thing I havent seen, good sir" He replied with a smile and taking a seat at the counter, next to a brown coated earth pony with obvious signs of moderate wealth, and already drunk.

 

It was an awfully friendly place, compared to the aura that Sanctuary had been giving of, though it was to be expected.

Because if the owner didn't do their very best to make the place hospitable, how could they expect to gain gold from it.

 

Having near been punched in the face with the strong scent of mead, ale, and copious other beverages, Crimson could already feel slight woozyness slowly sneak up on him, only heald back by minor history in drinking, as his old companions tended to celebrate with ale after particularly difficult heists.

 

He didn't think much of the bartender having mentioned "other new faces", it was after all a common, damn near stereotypical according to some, behaviour that recently arrived travelers would head towards the nearest in, and last he checked, Crimson was far from the only recently arrived pony.

 

He put a hoof down on the counter to make sure he had the barkeepers attention, as the other conversations going on, or people just enjoying themselves created a nice mixture of noise to partially muffle him out otherwise.

 

"It was an awfully long boatride, so I could use some ale to wet my whistle" He said, casting a quick glance around the room to asses if the people there, except the earth pony at the counter, seemed to have anything actually worth taking from them.

 

It was key to start small and casuall when questioning people, as to not seem suspicious, and Crimson knew nopony that would also turn down some easy coin for their coffer.

((ok then))
Back at the checkpoint there was a commotion being caused by a pony wearing a dark blue cloak with crescent moon symbols in various places, he was carrying a suspiciously large trunk that seemed immensely heavy.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 15 GOLD!?!"

"The toll going onto the boat was only 5!" Yelled the pony quite loudly.

The bartender simply fills Crismon's mug and asks "So what brings you here mister"

 

 

The guard simply looks at him and laughs "To bad toll here 15 gold. What you gonna do about it fight me? Ha. Just get lost fool"
