Kulan: Knightfall's Heroes of Carnell Game [OOC]

You take care of real life. I will still be here.

Same. That's life.

Take care!

I went to see her again yesterday. She was feeling better. The had to do an angioplasty and put in a shunt. It's been a tough time for her over the last decade. She had to have one leg amputated and her other leg now has an infection on her heel that isn't getting better. My other aunt is certain she'll have to have another amputation.

Anyway, thanks for your kind words, guys. You're the best!

Testing.

I tried to post and it seemed to disappear into nothingness. Weird.

I must have hit the wrong button. Anyway, the next post might go up on Sunday or Monday, but it might take longer due to family and physio concerns.

Hmm, that's odd. I have experienced an error once or twice when the page was loaded too long ago, so it wouldn't upload my post. Perhaps that was it?

Maybe,

I didn't lose anything important, so no worries.

It is very hot here in Edmonton right now. There is already a heat warning for tomorrow. Plus, my aunt had more complications. So, the next post will have to wait until the end of the week. Just FYI. I know you guys understand.

New post added.

Another new post will go up soon. Today was all about physio and creating NPC stats for the game. (Allies today, not foes.)

And, I'm happy to report that my aunt was able to go back to Rocky on Monday, although she'll need to be in the hospital there for a while before being allowed to go home.

Will get the next post up before the end of the week. I had been waiting for you guys before the upgrade hit, and your PCs will have some down time to deal with any equipment additions/upgrades you might need for the assault on the cultists.

News quickly comes to you that Aeron is already on his way to Fort Symas with Lorien and young Raius Bellath to seek the help of a skilled healer. They are traveling by wagon and have traveled for half a day along the well-worn trail between Carnell and Fort Symas (traveling roughly 8 miles already). It is about 48 miles (3 days by cart) to the fort across flat plains and then over scrub hills. It wouldn't be hard for you guys to reach them on horse, if you choose to do so.

Since Sir Balorix has to hold vigil for 24 hours before being able to leave, both he and his partner, Sir Avanth, will be around if you need their help during that time. Afterwards, Sir Balorix will escort Hornauer and Lycia south along the Wasting Shores to, at least as far, Knightswall. Once he's sure they have safe passage out of the Strandlands, he'll return to Carnell to see how you fared/are faring against the cultists.

Sir Avanth, however, will be traveling to the Township of Ironsoul, to meet with the senate and inform them of what you've discovered. It's a long journey, so he can't wait around to help you against the cultists.

Sir Ghal Ebal spends the 24 hours staying close to Lady Pendour, as is his duty as the Guardian of Pendour Manor. The other citizens of Carnell keep their distance from the wererat and his mate.

Lady Pendour officially calls out the militia and the dwarf smith, Mabon Bronzethegn, heads the small group of 10 men and woman, which includes primarily farmers and fishers and a young ranger named Kylia (age 17). Elijah Wortham will be his second in command. Sir Ghal assigns young Brutus (age 16) to the militia; he's a half-ogre. They will watch over the large thorpe while Carnell's other warriors go with you to Gurnard's Head including Timmins Walmsley (age 52), Gareth Porthglaze (age 43), Sir Ghal (age 31), Wieland Bowen (age 27), and Meridith Bowen (age 21).

Lady Pendour and Lord Xander agree that he should take her daughter with him to the city of Belporte (roughly 50 miles away on the worn trail or half that over hilly scrub plains) to the northwest. It will be safer there in the coming days, or so the lady comes to believe. Lord Xander says he will send help from the city. He and Lady Melantha leave within four hours of the PCs arriving back at Carnell with the two werefolk.

BTW, did you guys ever finish leveling up your PCs? I'm fairly certain that both Caerth and Quinn went up a level before the last long break, but I don't remember about Phar.

Anyway, each PC gets a 1,000 XP story award for helping to bring Hornauer and Lycia back to Carnell and for the interactions with Sir Balorix.
