Wonderful wonderful stuff up there! I should get Barrow-Wighted more often if this is to be the result!

Just a note to the conspirators: I've sent the Emissary off to the Elven quarter, but if he and his orcs are 'wanted' in your part of the tale, feel free to have them discover and/or chase your characters. Think of the possibilities: this will be the very first encounter between the Lord of the Nazgul and mortal beings...!!

I am leaving in just a few hours for a two-week trip to the east coast. I desperately wanted to write up a post involving Korak and a twist, but one of the lads had a baseball tournament over the weekend and my spare time has been taken up with packing. If the game is still going when I return, I'll try to get up those last couple of posts I had in mind... if not, Korak may be disposed of however the King, Arshalous, Gjeelea, etc. please... and I've enjoyed the game immensely!

To let you all know: I will not be here next week from Monday 13th to late on Friday 17th. If there is something for Siamak to respond to before then I will be able to post until Sunday night. Other than that, Siamak can be carried along in my absence as needed.

...and let the lynching commence for that stupendously melodramatic post. But hey...

Glad to see we're back on the road

Kudos to Fordim, Firefoot, and Aman for staying the road. I keep hoping for some kind of eucatastrophe. I don't think we've had any RPGs which attempted this desperate twist at the eleventh hour, but it would be really cool to see one here.

Of course, feel absolutely free to ignore that suggestion should you wish to travel down the well worn path to destruction, infamy, carnage, scouring, and general darkness all round.

'Ang on, 'ang on, 'ang on... I thought we agreed there would be a 'eucatastrophe', so to speak (and just bear in mind that I am using the definition of the word that I have picked up and which may well be wrong...*winces*)? That is to say, that there would be...

...for a fair wee while, right up to the point where our dashing heroes were on the brink of being executed (yay, fun-happy-time)...and then there was The Mighty Plot Twist that was earlier discussed in PM?

...does anyone else remember The Mighty Plot Twist...?

Which one?

No, seriously, I'm not sure I do.

But the rest of that I remember (or, if I don't remember, it's always the way I had assumed it would go anyway...
