I will be leaving Thursday (I'm going hiking in the mountains : )) but I will be back Monday. I hate to ask you to delay the game, since you already have done so for Fordim and Kransha, but if thats not possible perhaps Nuranar could sort of include my character till I get back, like he did such a beautiful job of already.

Arrald and Dym

My second post is up

Fordim Hedgethistle · 09-10-2004, 08:07 AM

Arrald and Dim have met up with Grimm and Broga, so the ugliness is now near intolerable.

I have introduced a minor adventure for the baddies so that we have something to do until the arrival of the good-guys. A little dust-up with some farmers should be relatively quick to do -- perhaps in the aftermath of the attack, the goodies can come out to investigate and be attacked by the baddies? Just an idea.

A Note On Trolls (mine at least): I do know that the plan for the trolls is that they are having their treasure stolen by the orcs, but my read of trolls is that they don't really care for treasure at all (being too stupid for that). As my post reflects, they think that the real gain of the attacks is the meat not the gold. So they are being taken advantage of by the orcs, but they don't know or care -- I mean, what use does a troll have for gold? If this is out of step with the rest of the baddies let me know now so I can change direction.

Envinyatar - thank you for editing your post to suit my second one. Appreciate it.

Thanks to everyone who's posted! I had one of those days yesterday (of course, it would have been the day the game opened

) and am still not feeling just terrific, but I hope to have a post up later this afternoon. Note: We will not get down to business about our mission in the common room; after we eat we will move to a private room.

Alaksoron, we'll be carrying Osric just fine. Thanks for letting us know when you'll be gone.

A request: Please try to fill in "Saves" within 24 hours. If that'll be a problem, please PM me and let me know. (Kransha, this is not directed at you. Actually, thank you for reminding me to put the notice up!)

Fordim (and all baddies), please see your PMs.

Carry on!

Nuranar
