Stranglehold (RP)

Stranglehold was the second ever RP session on the FRPG, and the very last one on the ProBoards version. The full Hungarian-language logs can be read here.

Plot
Stephánus Tavilrond and Scatama Salorium have a meeting in Architon, where they encounter Demons. After fighting them off, they return to Fort Redlight, where Stephánus informs his grandmaster, Solmon Thanlus about the presence of demons in Dragoc. Thanlus tasks Stephánus Tavilrond to locate a fellow know named Ethelfríd Crevyzmén (meeting him in the Common Shrine of Grandfolk), and go on a quest together, travelling to the Empire of Neressa to retrieve the Star Scroll, which Emperor Terkemish of Neressa would have been willing to give to them. Stephánus distrusts Crevyzmén, and ends up admonishing him at many turns for his flippancy, promiscuity, swankiness, flamboyance and inability to keep secrets. In the end, the duo arrive into Etrocast, picking up Vidiorta Amard, which increased the size of the party from two to three. Sadly, this was the point at which the roleplaying session was aborted, so we can only speculate ...

Tropes

 * : The Star Scroll
 * :, after the heroes actually acquired the Star Scroll from Neressa, they would have had to take it back to Fort Redlight.
 * On the original forum, Scatama Salorium's name was still Jaszami (based on the nickname of his creator, Jaszami). In the archives, this was fixed after the fact.
 * The Grandmaster of the Knights of the Blood Red Light was the now non-canon Solmon Thanlus, rather than the canon Gaius Frostang
 * Neressa's infamously isolationist foreign policy and xenophobia were not established in the lore yet at this point. They were even an ally of Etrand!
 * : Stephánus Tavilrond spared no opportunity to admonish his comrade, the self-proclaimed "heroic champion" Ethelfríd Crevyzmén for his flippancy, promiscuity, swankiness, flamboyance and inability to keep secrets.
 * : Stephánus vs Ethelfríd.
 * Stephánus is chaste, takes his job very seriously, no-nonsense, urges his partner to keep their mission a secret, wants to complete the mission ASAP. He's a.
 * Ethelfríd is promiscuous, doesn't take his job too seriously, jokes a lot, loves to show off and brag about his achivements, takes it easy.
 * : Stephánus Tavilrond, at least compared to his comrade - this was also an example of, as , he became more of a hopeless romantic, having a love interest for someone during the Jorge-Kshabdalim Saga.
 * : Ethelfríd Crevyzmén is first introduced as having two tavern wenches resting against his shoulder.
