    The Heroes of House Tharashk

    Gulo puts his gear in one of the remaining rooms. He digs out his battered chain shirt and puts it on, and then out of habit, checks the condition of his blade and bow. He spends most of the time doing this and resting. When night comes, Gulo, slightly annoyed, with the fishy smell he...

    The Heroes of House Tharashk

    "Beer" Gulo repeats, glancing out the window at the wet landscape. "If possible something not brewed from the local water."

    House Medani Detection Office:The Lady in Blue (Updated 12-03-05)

    2. The Investigation The next day, as could be expected, I had a hangover. I shuffled downstairs. Everyone was there. Anvil was watching the window. Dorbo was cleaning up the chaos from the previous night. Bynara was at the desk, toying with the gnoll paw. She informed me the Watch had...

    Moldvay is the shizzle. And Erol Otus is the man :)

    House Medani Detection Office:The Lady in Blue (Updated 12-03-05)

    Rainy Day Doldrums (cont'd) I awoke a short time later. By then the office was well lit, the lamps turned on. Anvil was standing over me, smiling, or at least a close approximation of a smile as Warforged do. "For a half elf you sleep quite well." Anvil actually chuckled. Now this jest may be...

    So how many settings came out of the Search?

    I could have sworn there were a handful. But my memeory aint whjat it used to be. For some reason I thought Midnight was part of the search, too.

    The Heroes of House Tharashk

    Gulo takes a seat. His nose wrinkles with distaste. "Ack the smell of fish is overpowering to me. Between that and the voyage I have little hope of keeping food down. Drink for me, beer." Turning to the others he says idly, "I wonder why Lord Khundran is not here? I don't know about you, but I...

    OOC discussion: Heroes of the House Tharashk! (Full)

    I have no problem with the patron. I just took him since he was the House rep in Greywall in Droamm which I picked as Gulos home. As for color for IC can I choose red? As for pacing there are some "idle" situations where the Dm can just keep updating as us players can "backdate' our RP...

    So how many settings came out of the Search?

    So Im setting around reading the Eberron threads, just thinking about 3.0 and 3.5 etc.. I know that alot of other submissions to WOTC's setting search were published by other game companies. Some are even being published by individuals. Just wondering...Anyone have a list?

    House Medani Detection Office:The Lady in Blue (Updated 12-03-05)

    Rainy Day Doldrums (Continued) I waited until she was safely away, then turned to the others, still slightly under the womans spell. "Well? Opinions?" Anvil shook his head. "Hers is a sad tale indeed." Dorbo chuckled."You're moon eyed after her boy." Bynara clapped her hands. "We're rich! We...

    House Medani Detection Office:The Lady in Blue (Updated 12-03-05)

    Rainy Day Doldrums (Continued) Now when I was put to sleep, the last thing I remember seeing was her face from hours before. She was like an angel. She wore a dark hooded cloak to protect her from the rain, but when she took it off, she revealed a dark blue dress of silk. Her skin was fair and...

    Why didn't Eberron click?

    The Heroes of House Tharashk

    Gulo, slumbering on the deck awakes at Myrta's call, and at the change of the Swifts speed as it pulls into dock. Yawning the shifter arises to his haunches and looks around. With his armor in his pack, the shifter wears an eclectic range of clothing and equipment. A new dark green Brelish...

    House Medani Detection Office:The Lady in Blue (Updated 12-03-05)

    Ok been a while...... 1. Rainy Day Doldrums What can I say, it started just as a regular day, Mol to be exact. It was a cool day, mid morning and raining. And as usual, the office was dead. Myself, I was seated at my desk reading the Korranberg Chronicle. It was an old copy but I was...

    Eberron`s internal consistency.

    Interesting anlysis, but I just cant make the leap in applying real life methodology to a fantasy world. I mean you can make alot of excuses why the population is low, or just right or whatever. I dont think the designers necessarily ignored population numbers, I think theyre probably low for a...

    Explain this!

    Well (playing devils advocate) 1. Id assume the composite bow give str damage to simulat the extra pull you get on the bow. Since str doesnt effect ranged attacks, rules wise it doesnt effect to hit. 2. Correct me if Im wrong but Weapon Specialization is still a general feat/ Anyone can take...

    Favorite book in Tom Clancy's Ryanverse.

    I voted Cardinal of the Kremlin. It seemed to capture the feeling of Cold War espionage. My favoite book overall may be Red Storm Rising. I really havent read anything since I think Debt of Honor..the last one I took seriously was Sum of All Fears, but Ryan as President just seemd wrong...

    Looking for a new book to read...

    Rage -Goddess, sing of Peleus' son Achilles... For the Trojan War, I cannot highly enough recommend Robert Fagles translation of The Illiad (and The Odyssey). Its in verse, and has a modern sensibility while still keeping the spirit and epicness of Homer. It has a great preface and...
