Shemeska- I freely admit that I have tried a few times to get into your Storyhour I (haven't yet tried on II), but have been daunted and distracted each time. Someday soon I will get past the second post, because I know that there's good stuff there. The Planescape tag is a major draw for me...

"We have a questions, and you have answers. Let's find out if Tab A fits in Slot Q."

"This ought to be interesting," Shadowjack mutters to himself bemusedly. He brings up the rear of the party, grabbing a toothpick on the way out.

"That is, in some ways, better. Once they've sold their employers out to us, willingly or not, I doubt they'll be welcomed back into the fold, as it were, with open arms. And the veracity of their statements need not be in doubt at the time of asking."

I bought several of D&D's choose-your-own-adventure books, along with similar books by other companies. This must've been in... 1990? 91? Anyway, there was this box of paperbacks at a garage sale, and they quoted me a price for the whole box that was much cheaper than buying one book at a...

"Interesting ideas," Shadowjack says after a moment. "And not unappealing. Confrontation may be a foregone conclusion, but we ought to put all of our effort into following the mission guidelines. I'm not sure that a remove to Central Park is necessary yet, and it's certainly inconvenient...

I've mucked around with teleport, so that it can only take you to specific teleport beacons that have been set up in various parts of the world. (Theoretically the PCs could set one up in any home base that they liked.) You can teleport away from anything, as before. In exchange for this...

"So we need a pretense of a business arrangement. Because there are no undue... overtones... in buying drinks if a business deal of some kind is at stake." Shadowjack thinks on this for another moment and says, "Maybe we're getting too complicated with this. I'm sure we could work out some...

Spiritforge (from NERO rules) - anything that allows you to respend skill points, feats, character levels, race... whatever. There are probably quite a few other terms I'm forgetting that are simply borrowed from other rules systems and gaming media. Haven

"Hence my apparently abortive attempt at allusion. Now that we know what we know, it would be nice to have something resembling a plan. Bumbling, while a common modus operandi in cinema, may still be largely avoidable."

Shadowjack shakes his head in frustration. "The Russians, in the corner," he hisses, with a sharp jerk of his thumb to vaguely indicate the group of men in the corner, "are talking about Ursa Major. One of the men works for him."

(OOC: Psst. Shieldhaven is my name on the boards. Shadowjack is the character name. ;) )

Shadowjack chews his lower lip for a moment, unsure of how to proceed. Looking to Sunspot and the Voice, he says in a low-conversational volume, "Interesting places, restaurants. Especially joints like this one. Reminds me of a time I went hunting in the old country with some comrades. I got...

The parallels with Sep's Tales of Wyre deepen. ;) I'm interested in Shallahai's new perspective, but this could make things even more tense for our poor narrator. Yay, update! Haven

The plot thickens! Congeals, even. Coalesces? Whatever. Still good stuff. ;) Mainly I'm posting because it amuses me to see a drow named Tebryn. A friend of mine played a half-drow by that name in a short-lived City of the Spider Queen game. Haven

"Yes, thank you." Following the hostess to a table, Shadowjack scans the crowd for any familiar faces. As he sits, his hand strays momentarily to pat his concealed pistol, and he seems ill at ease.

You're off to a solid start. The story did a good job of grabbing my interest, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this is going. Haven

I give fighters Profession and Knowledge (warrior tradition) as class skills, because a) why on earth would they automatically be worse at a generic skill like Profession than a wizard? and b) surely even the fighters have something in which they are well-suited to study and grow knowledgeable...

OOC: We bring everything with us, including the kitchen sink. It's just tossed into my extradimensional pocket. As objects, these things do not receive Will saves to escape. ;) I'm wearing my concealed pistol and my wiffy bracer, under a nondescript jacket. I don't actually have a whole lot...

"So, where exactly is our first stop? Because, you know, this walking thing is for people who are not us." Shadowjack uses his GPS bracer to find an uninteresting alleyway near the place in question, then tucks it back under the sleeve of his jacket, where it would probably be obvious only to...
