[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 8978158, member: 6696971"] Figured I'd post all of [USER=6785785]@hawkeyefan[/USER] 's Chronicles (for his Judge character) for this game as its nearing its resolution. That might stimulate some conversation about particular instances of play that hawkeyefan chronicles below. I should be able to recall and convey how the game engine/play created the events captured below. Alright, he's got First Spring Week 4. I'll start at his First Spring Week 5: [HR][/HR] [B]First Spring, Week Five [/B] * In Gordon's Delve: Cullen was some distance from Dap who was being threatened by some guards. Since he knew he couldn't get there in time to intervene if he tried to run over there, Cullen used his hammer to smash a support beam on the aqueduct. A huge amount of water funneled at the two guys going for Dap -- like a firehose.
