Mastiffs with their vocal cords cut?!? WTF? How the hell do you know about people in crack-houses doing that to their pit bulls? OMG, what an awful thing to do to a poor puppy!

I'm really enjoying the depth of the Swann territories that they're exploring. I appreciate the range of different terrains and sites that encompass their holdings. Now if only they weren't such pricks...and by that I mean all the Swanns they'd met that far, though maybe Novius Sebastian may...

A couple of things: Julia is Little Ben's (the family nickname for Sir Lizardbane) sister, not brother. Sir Decimus Wilmus is married to Anwyn Schemerhorn. Novius Varius is his late older brother. The former Regent is Octavion Benedict, not Septimias. I'm sure you regret that naming...

I assume a Hero Point was given to Timotheus?

Beast Gods As long as we're clear that Bast had NOTHING to do with this. Nothing whatsoever. Move along. Nothing to see here. One of Her priests did NOT have a companion that freed the Ram Headed God. Nope. Nuh uh. I'll deny it if you ask me.

All I know is that I hope that Telie knows how or can learn how to juggle real fast! He has a few balls in the air at the moment and his footing isn't as even with the group as one might like. I really do like how he goes for it with those around him and deals with the people that approach him...

Better keep on Sir Quintas' ass. He seems the type to try to evade. I do sort of feel bad for him but that's only because he seems a tad pathetic and knights shouldn't be that. I look forward to his impressions of more of the Swann family.

No apologies necessary. I don't think I can help you with that last. He had a talent at pissing me off in OOTFP but it's not a surprise considering race and alignment and general character demeanor. In this case, there may be similar circumstances as far as House, alignment and attitude are...

The Measure If you don't mind my saying, I personally think that ROCKS! That of course means that everyone else in the party is sure to shoot it down. I'm enjoying the inner thoughts and beliefs revealed here as opposed to the objective storytelling in the main SH. Very often it's hard to...

Why thank you, sir. I did try to keep things away from simply "Wow! What a dick!" I look forward to seeing the dark side of any character manifest itself in ways that are meaningful and move things along!

Great work with this, Ciaran. I really like the way you've framed this in the form of prayers. It lends a great deal of insight into the inner workings of a simple man that may yet prove to be a very complicated one. More, please! J

RUINED!!! DOOOOMMMMMM!!! I cast DOOM upon ye, bad sir! Thy spoilers do reek! Reek, I say. Just kidding! Looking forward to more. Despite my observations on said main SH, I enjoy Bleys' point of view immensely. I really look forward to his growth as a person and Watch- Mage. Jon

Prickery I finally caught up after a few installments got ahead of me. Now that I'm current, I thought I'd pick up this line of op/ed and post some of my impressions on the prick level of the PCs in ascending order: 6. Timotheus: I like the characterization here. I think he is definitely...

LOL I think that was the reaction around the table. It's funny how familiars, when done right, become total characters unto themselves. I think that Thomas was really the perhaps unmentioned last member of the Keepers of the Gate. It was unfortunate that moments like these make that clear.

I'm curious, RR. What obstacle do you foresee causing further PC deaths/TPK? I mean, while playing Roland I was pretty nervous at this point but that was general twitchiness. Is it just the general overtone or a specific menace that makes you think that? Just wondering.
