Stage of the Open Air 5th Edition

...I ran and ran, my heart pounding almost as hard as I was breathing. I looked over my shoulder to see if they were still after me. In the dim moonlight, I could still make out four figures in hot pursuit.
    One of the spell casters hot on my trail cast a spell at me- “I conjure forth an unholy bolt of death!” he cried as I felt the spell hit my back. There was a brief yellow flash as the spell was absorbed by my resist magic spell.
    Finally I could run no more. I stopped running and turned on my heels, long sword in hand. My followers slowed to a halt and fanned out, surrounding me.
    “What do you want from me?” I asked.
    “You’re Baron Norrington’s squire,” one of them said. “You’ll make a great ransom. Put down your weapons and come quietly and you won’t get hurt.”
    Should I give up? Was there any chance I could take all four of them? One of them was marked with a black snake his face... my mind raced to remember what group or guild wore that mark. If it was the group I thought it was, The Sons of Serpentis, I didn’t want to fight any of them.
    “You’ve got me. I give up.” I said as I dropped my sword.
    Just then, I heard Baron Norrington’s battle cry as he rushed into combat, cutting down one of my captors with one mighty blow. I grabbed my sword and charged the spell caster, swinging wildly. He started to cast a spell, but he fell before he could finish the incantation.
    My lord and I stood side by side, squaring up with the last two opponents. It was payback time.

    Welcome to the Stage of the Open Air.

    And welcome to the world of Live Action—the most exciting form of role playing, the most advanced form of story telling.
    The World of Anterris is the first official Stage setting. Within it, you will find all manner of men, monsters, and magic. Anterris is full of adventure and danger, plenty of room for heroes and villains alike. There’s something there for everyone.
    So how do I play, you ask?
    When you enter the world of Anterris, you play the role of a character. The character may look a bit like you, but you have the full opportunity to make that character into anyone you want: a thief, a wizard, a warrior— the possibilities are truly limitless. Your actions will be your character’s actions. Maybe you’ll make friends, maybe you’ll get in a fight, maybe you’ll join a guild, maybe you’ll start a guild— it’s up to you.
    In Live Action role playing games, you physically act out the part of your character. You live by your wits and reflexes... your character can only swing a sword as fast as you yourself can. Your character will live and die from your point of view, in a real live setting.
    Stage is full of excitement, no matter how you want to play. If you enjoy combat, and enjoy sword play, then you will find a lot in this game. If you enjoy acting, and like to role play interesting, even exotic characters, you will enjoy yourself here.
