Onward to Despia (Doing a bit of a jump forward in time... Partly to compensate for lost time out-of-game, partly to try to clear the slate a little to try to get some fresh inertia going. Hope you don't mind the auto-piloting.) After the night visit from the boatsman, who quieted and...

First off, congratulations Dr. Z! You have ample reason to be proud. Definitely more good news than bad news today. And doghead, if you do expect to return in September (or October, or even a few months after that) I have no problem auto-piloting Xiao in the meantime if you like. Feel free to...

The figure responds to Fendric's mandate quickly, and briefly: "It's a silver to Tway!" he calls. "Tway for only a silver."

Hiritus senses evil emanating from the figure; upon further concentration, he determines that it is of moderate intensity, confirming that he is not simply a petty criminal, or something of that nature... Shavah, upon hearing this, takes up her holy symbol and tower shield. In response to...

Raven: There are few signs of animal tracks near the water's edge; a quick examination shows why, as the water here appears less than safe to drink. For bathing, though, it should be fine, aside from the temperature -- although as the wind stirs up a fog, it doesn't seem much worse than the air...

Following the river, with Raven and Tatlock leading the way, you reach what appears to be the smaller lake on Aerda's map shortly after sunset... There, near the water's edge where the lake meets the river, you find what seems to be another small, abandoned trade encampment -- a few small...

Yes. Now leaving elvish places. Not sure where the party is going next. Starting XP info is in first post of this thread. Warning, game is slow at the moment, on my end, but will not be halting any time soon, I promise. Too much invested by too many good people. If you're into in-party rp...

Aerda walks off, into the dense garden... It is not much of a wait, less than half an hour, until he returns. "The letter is delivered. I did not meet with her directly, only through her advisor, but I was able to arrange a meeting in a few days' time, to confirm the letter's receipt, and so...

The lead escort nods to Fendric's request; it is an hour's walk still before you reach the royal gardens, which may as well be termed the royal palace... It is a teeming structure, terraced and spiraling, flowers living throughout... Cherry blossoms line the entering walkways, leaving beneath...

(Wow, you all rock. You know that, don't you?) Seeing Xiao, Shavah experiences a moment of some surprise, but her expression turns toward anger as Nurthk indicates the monk's injury. She dismounts quickly and jogs over to deliver whatever healing might be necessary, delivering a fiercely...

After a careful looking-over to make sure all weapons have made it to the mule, the elf nods slightly to Aerda, then addresses the group. He speaks in Elvish; Aerda translates. "Stay close together: Do not walk farther than thirty paces from the body of your group, unless you must. If you must...

Aerda looks at Oliver's direction, seeming not to expect much, then blinks his eyes hard as his gaze finds the archer. "This far from the city?" he asks quietly, to no one in particular, then dismounts his horse silently. "Wait here," he says to the group. "I'm going to make an introduction."...

I'll be away starting next Sunday as well. Shouldn't be for more than a few days, but I figure I should give a bit of a heads up anyway, as there's an off chance I could be away (or at least intermittant) for a bit longer than that. doghead: Story-wise, he only needs to be penniless up until...

Oliver: As the group rides, late into the day, you catch sight of something in the trees, some distance away... Or rather, you feel as though you've caught sight of something, but every time you try to focus on it you find nothing, as though you were trying to watch yourself blink in the...

doghead: Here's a list of questions with corresponding information to answer, to consult as they come up. (as in don't worry, you don't need to know it all, I just want you to have it available so you can answer them IC, without me having to chime in.) "What happened to the orc that was...

Note to all: I've updated the first post in this thread with links to all the maps currently available. I should also mention that I apparently goofed on the locations of the Tourne letters, and need to update the big map at some point (technically the mistake was in the Tourne map, as I ended...

"Guardian of the Glades is right, I believe... Old elven folklore tells us that each of the old elven nations is guarded by one of the great animal spirits. In most legends they are only symbols, embodying the oldest aspects of Creation... But there are also stories which speak of them as real...

Sorry for the absence. Been having off weeks more frequently than I'd like, of late. dpdx: Since I forgot the reply the last time I posted, I should mention that I agree re: benching Niccolo and Aerda (I haven't seen wings on AIM in a while, which is a good sign that he's legitimately not...

12500XP/4000GP is standard, but given that Xiao has some play behind him, I'll bump that up to 14000 XP / 4000 GP. No bump in the gold as I'm marginally worried that this might actually be higher than the current party average to begin with.

Re: Fendric's XP, heh, hadn't noticed that. I'll try to keep the next gap between rewards a bit shorter than it's been, at times, in the past. Oh yeah, so that's what caerderhargh.doc was. Given that said file currently describes a patchy Arcane Archer, I think it would make things easier if...
