Good. A good, old-fashioned Grey Star blasting Shadakine on the docks in Suhn, while ignoring his teacher's advice that stealth will be the best approach. I expect to be disappointed. I'd be interested to know the TN. We start with 15-19 INT, and honestly, a MU should be able to cast Burning...

As we flee, Sussurien mentions that the shadow creatures are tireless and will follow us endlessly, so there is no point in fleeing. We emerge in the courtyard and even as we're soundly defeated, the book continues to entice us to be snarky toward Sussurien, saying "You're now out of earshot of...

Sure. The size of the hobby probably doesn't make it feasible. But for companies that already are operating in say, UK and US, maybe it's the way organize their deliveries.

I think the wishy-washy language is strangely appropriate in this world of WIS 3. Really, nobody can be sure of anything. They just somehow guess things, and even obvious deductions made by surrounding NPCs are told in the form of a question. I am surprised that they assume Estla is the same...

While planning for a 90 days respite in a highly changing environment is certainly not wise, isn't the situation right now a huge incentive for a company in the US relying on Chinese-produced parts to move its office to, say Europe and get Chinese-manufactured thing sent there before exporting...

There is still the third book. Which I hope will be able to be won without using magic. The idea of Carr being a Muggle is totally cool. "My Dad was a rocket scientist, so my ability at rocket is... nil, actually, I took Archeology as a major". Yes, and... it was done. This book was apparently...

Bypassing the six gnolls would have been, as you said, a fight in another book. Which makes me think that HP in this book are basically irrelevant. There are no fights, there are either total success with barely a consequence outside of crossing off a spell on the list, or death. This makes the...

In blog articles linked from this thread, I've seen twice the idea that board game makers said they made two-third of their sales in the US. Just exiting the US market altogether may not let them cover their fixed cost without substantial price increase (assuming customers will accept them).

The trick here is to notice the little FLEE square on the map. I think the only hope in this fight is actually to run away. Which is especially dumb since we just gave the emerald eyes to Prince Sussurien and we're waiting for the outcome. So leaving is akin to losing our quest. But there is no...

We posited that she was rather young for a Wood Elf based on her hair not being white in book 1. Now, we learn that she's a High Elf, but her hair are white. I dispute the "they withered in 5 years" in favor of "she stopped dying her hair and assumed to be an elderly lady. This kind of...

Efficient Garn should have been able to solo this adventure. Actually, I think there is no adventure to be had. Realistically 1. Landor was a friend of Estla and most assuredly Perth (at least, he was extremely close to Perth's wife) 2. Perth is a demonstated friend of Estla. We can deduce...

I probably lost count of the alternate path we took, but isn't there a way to get there and bypass Garrn totally? In which case we wouldn't know that. But good catch! Since he mentally detected both Garrn and Thayne, whom he's familiar with (assuming we met Garrn), why didn't he warn us of who...

I honestly loved this quote. I also like the fact that Rufyl complains, but doesn't offer to act as an information hub and just telepath-link with each of us in turn to get all of us up to date. Also, there is actually very few information to share that would necessitate a meeting under a tree...

So now, Rufyl's telepathic seems to extend much farther. You calculated it worked across the road into the neighbour house, but since it helps us escape scouts.... there must be some much longer advance warning. 200-300m at least, less and they'll hear us complaining to Dalris about our aching...

There is a path that is nearly a road, easy to trail on, from Freeton to Thayne's village. Freeton is on the western side of the crescent.... well... TIME FOR A MAP ! With WIS 3, our heroes chose to land at a southern point, in a sandy beach just under a cliff that is actually Mount Seagate...

Warm sand? When we established that we are in the dead of winter quite high (low) on latitude? While I could accept that Carr is sensitive enough so being suddenly plunged in water gives the impression that it's freezing cold when it's just of average temperature (like 15°C), I agree that there...

I feel the author, given his bio, was totally aware of that... or his experience of academia was totally opposite to... everyone else's? Actually, we can never die from the Fire Trap. A careful reading of the option say that we end here if we wen't here "by way of Delmer", which we did in all...

So we'll end up in Freeton. That's where the path FROM Delmer leads to. Interesting piece of intel here: it is apparently within the realm of theorical physics to rout a group of gnolls. and we add that we say that just because it's cool because OUR Carr never actually heard of them before...
