that's A LOT of XPs. Makes up for the complete lack of treasure accumulated in this last phase. I think everyone goes up a level. The party did miss some nice stuff by fighting it out instead of making a tactical withdrawal, but all things considered, the XPs are probably worth more...

Charlarn of Phyrah: Male human cleric 3

"I agree that we've done what we can. Irene is on her own now. May the Searcher guide her home safely. Rinaldo, I yield to your judgment about the division of the spoils. I hope that the evidence we found will be enough to prove Kim's innocence."

OOC: Thanks for the great game again, Manzanita. If there is a M3, Charlarn will be there. Now to find a ranger to train him (XP=6695).

And he can buy a focus for his shield other domain spell. Next time he sees Irene he'll cast status on her. Makes it easier to track her down.

OOC: Yay! First Character to reach level 5... one more level to get my first trader level

And it was a pleasure to do the calculation for the loot, both for being in character and in person

"No probem, it is my job after all. There is no small profits, as they says. I'll need any money I can gather. And for Irene, I must tell that I don't trust her. After the moathouse, I was not sure, but now, even without proof, my intuition told me that she is not a prisoner of Jezibel, nor she is under a spell. I would have gone after her just to be sure at 100%, but my intuition is rarely wrong.

It was a pleasure to work with you all, and I hope to see you all again. May you find what you seek all. I think I'll go back to Orosuss and start to seek a shop. I was thinking to find a place to sells some magical items. Mainly healing one. Charlan, I think you can create some. Would you be interested to be partner?"

Thanks for the great game, Manzanita! This was my first play by post game ever, and I greatly apreciate the introduction.

(Didn't really expect to make level 3 already, and now I'm already half-way to level 4 :lol:

. And no spells to research or even rules to do so...

Great Game!

Yeap, great game. And that little 650XP was just what I needed to reach level 5. One more level, and I'll be a true Trader.

So it sounds like Nurlan and Tor will stay around to try to locate Irene, while Charlarn and Rinaldo won't. What about the rest of you? Even if nothing more happens on-camera in this game, I'd like to know how it wraps up in character -- I'm going to be writing another story for Volidar's Tales.

Oh, and thanks Manzanita for another well-designed game, and thanks everyone (including Manzanita) for another well-executed game!

Knight Otu · Jun 2, 2005

(I've already moved Ashnar back to the RDI :heh:

. He's convinced not only that they have done their best to locate the two already, but also that Irene betrayed the group, and thus feels no particular loyalty to the halfling. The loyalty part is, of course, unspoken.

Tor will be happy to stay with Nurlan for some time. He's also been thinking about visiting his familly before heading back to the Red Dragon Inn. If, after looking for Irene, Nurlan would like to come with him, Tor extends an invitation on condition that the Bard not reveal the location of his Grandfather's home... Tor's familly is fairly private.

ooc: This is due to Tor's grandfather being a copper dragon, and a bit defensive of his horde.
