"Be ready," Darrick says quietly to the others before retiring. "I really don't expect anything to occur tonight, but one never knows what desperate -- or mad -- men might do." As he prepares for sleep, he makes very sure that his sword is close by his bed...and, with a sigh, he arranges his...

Take it easy -- it's been a bad year for that. I'm feeling a bit ill again myself; I'm hoping that the viral fun from last week isn't back for a repeat engagement. This is what I get from working with little kids. "Keep in mind," I was told, years ago, "That most of our furniture is at...

Straight to the inn, yes.

Now that, I like. A lot. The crystal thing doesn't really appeal to me, but various amulets fetishes, charms, and suchlike? Nice. Kinda reminds me of Hellboy, who fills his pockets with every kind of talisman he can find. That's something that I can work with.

"Nothing worse than hostile sheep," Darrick agrees, with a slightly strained smile. "To the inn, then. It'll be nice to take my armor off for a time."

Hideos Blow can make a Warlock/Rogue really nasty. And a lot of the Warlock Invocations work really well with a Rogue build in general.

"That's not our way, Master Kassel," Darrick assures him. "And if worst comes to worst, well, I know how to use the flat of my blade, as well as the edge." Turning to the others, he continues, "I suggest that we leave in the morning, early. We can take the evening to ask some questions, find...

"Druids who destroy life?" Darrick shakes his head, the disgust obvious in his voice. "That's...that's perverse! There's already too damned many dead places in the world, without adding more!" He calms himself, looking down at his clenched fists without speaking for a moment. Without...

"Rest easy," Darrick says, raising a hand. "We'll not act rashly here. Too many lives at risk, and Charles knows this. He won't start trouble. But even so, John, no more prevarications. Time runs short. Tell us all of it, please."

"No," Darrick says firmly, "This will not happen. Not so long as I have breath in my body, and strength in my arm. You are not alone in this matter, Master Kassel. Not any longer." "But," he continues, in a gentler tone, "We need to know the truth, John. We cannot do this blind. Not for...

"Cath, ah...the Captain speaks the truth, Master Kassel. We're here to help, and we will protect you and your people with every fibre of our beings. This is our duty, and I can assure that we all take it very seriously indeed." Darrick looks him in the eye, steadily. "So, please, tell us...

Interlude: “All About Eve” Eve smiles widely and turns to Burne. "I like your hat. I must say, I've been sized up by quite a few men in my day, but never so...precisely as you're doing right now. Which is exactly my point. You're getting it all wrong." She flashes Meiji a timeless smile...

Darrick shares a glance with Kaelen, raising a sardonic eyebrow, and then turns fully to Kassel. "Please," he says smoothly, "Do continue. And rest assured, we are all your friends here...and that most certainly includes our metallic companion. His heart, although it may not actually 'beat'...

Darrick laughs aloud at this. "It eased my mind, that's for certain. Captain," he adds, with a wink. He sobers quickly, though, looking over the quiet room. "This feels very wrong, doesn't it? This is hardly the welcome that the Headmaster told us to expect...." "Indeed," Darrick...

Darrick, not without some misgivings, seats himself next to Catherine. "Damnably little," he says to Kaelan, softly. "There's something afoot, to be sure, but Master Kassel seems unwilling to speak of it yet. I've an uneasy feeling, though, and it would be best if we remained on our guard."...

Apologies to all -- I've been sick as the proverbial dog for the past few days, and I've still got a brain full of cotton. I should be able to string a coherent sentence of two together by tomorrow. Man, I hope so....

Which works out nicely, although I must confess I hadn't thought of that at the time. Have to keep it mind when designing raiding parties for my own game, 'tho.... But yeah, unless otherwise stated, assume that both auras are up.

Yes indeed. There's no reason that he can't keep those auras going at all times, actually. But Motivate Dex will certainly be up whenever we're actively adventuring, and Motivate Attack will be active when in a threatening situation...like travelling through an ape-infested jungle. When the...

"Well done!" Darrick thumps Steadfast proudly as he dismounts, but the concern is obvious in his expression as he surveys his companions. "Are you three all right? Those damned things were quicker than I would have thought." Pulling a rag from a belt pouch, he begins cleaning the blood from...

Interlude: “The Three Faces of Eve” “A young and curious scholar, who I might add, was quite taken with me, once called me a 'barely localized phenomena'. He was three sheets to the wind at the time, which may have been the future. The air was horrible and full of noisy shapes. "Sometimes I...
