Rufus watches the ritual intently. When Adelaide rises again and begins asking questions, he smiles. "Welcome back to the land of the living, Lady Paladin. Name's Rufus." He faces Ferviel and shrugs. "I'm up for more tomorrow. Any of your trinkets capable of warding off Shadows and the like, or...

Rufus smiles uneasily, shrugs, and nods. "Aye, I suppose we can at least give it a go... But, speaking for myself here, I'm a warrior and a storyteller, not a conspiracy-hunter. Though I suppose the tale of breaking whatever evil is seeking to manipulate these events would make a grand story...

"Sometimes they lie, sure. But there's a reason the old 'good guard, bad guard' interrogation strategy works - people get scared and guilty and want to spill their guts, even when they're expecting it. Low-tier thugs are the easiest to scare as they usually have the least protection. "I can go...

"You just illustrated why I want to do this. We take the thug, get the info on his boss, then get his boss. And hopefully without the guaranteed warning the boss would get if we just let the thug walk, because we'll leave him bound and unconscious in Keygan's closet or something."

In the little side street, Marcus grimaces. "Am I the only one who got the impression someone was in his back room right that very moment? Nodding towards the back room, insinuating there was already someone else there... Certainly seems to be the case. "All this talk of watching the place...

On console, pretty much. While I wouldn't go quite so far with the wording, I do tend to agree, particularly in regards to Halo 3 and ODST. Halo: Reach, however, I found to be entirely too awesome. If you intend to only get one Halo game, make it Reach. Bioshock is truly amazing. Probably...

Marcus had mostly stayed put and looked somewhat menacing as the others asked Keygan questions. Now, he grimaces as the others decide to leave after what seemed to him to be fairly obvious indications that someone was in the back room, spying on this whole exchange. But he says nothing for the...

Yeah, this would help a lot. :) I can't believe no one has mentioned Mass Effect 1 and 2 (and soon to be 3), so I'm doing it now. RPG, 3rd-person shooter, good story and characters and a great sci-fi universe. The Fable series is a generally fun, if somewhat flawed, batch of RPGs. There are...

"A normal Ghoul can't inflict those wounds, but this one was the size of an ogre. I can personally attest to the sharpness of its teeth," Rufus says with a slight grimace. He quickly joins in to assist in transporting the slain paladin a bit further.

I'm in much the same boat as the others. I love your DMing, the writing and the descriptions. But I'm totally lost as to what to actually do with all of it. I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm just no good at playing through an investigation (as this is happening to me in other games). :p...

Rufus halts and holds up a hand, open-palmed, to the distressed warrior. "Please calm yourself, milord. When we found the scouting party, they had been set upon by undead at a small farmhouse up ahead. This young woman was already slain by the time we got there. The half-orc and the elven woman...

Rufus helps with the graves, then suggests the group returns (with the paladin's body) to the main army. Scouts are supposed to report in, after all.

Rufus helps with the search, but doesn't expect to find much else here. Take 10 on Search for an 18 in each room.

I'm still around and would happily pick up again. Sorry for the quiet... Been a bit crazy lately.

"Sweet merciful gods!" Rufus coughs out around a quick gagging motion. He backs away from the source of the putrid stench rapidly. "Didn't I voice a preference to not start the morning with stench so awful I won't eat for a week?" He coughs again and nods to the strange sorceress. "I'll go...

Rufus stretches and gives a half-smile as his wounded shoulder stops bleeding. "Oh, I understand. Not every day we see... things like that. Though what with heading for the valley, it's likely we'll see more of such." He purses his lips as the subject of the slain paladin is broached again...

"They may not think they saw anything, but it is possible they merely did not realize it. The smallest details are sometimes the most important," Marcus tells her, trying for a friendly tone though probably falling well short of it. "I think talking to them as a group is best. We don't want any...

Rufus keeps his greatsword raised and ready for a moment, breathing heavily. When it seems no more foes arise to plague him, he sighs and ends up burying his sword's point in the ground and leaning against it. The blond man regards his viciously-wounded and bloodied shoulder with a simple "Ow."...

Ugh. Oh well. It happens. Next week's game is still on, anyway. :)

Ack! Thought I posted before... *sigh* blasted holidays and their mind-muddling ways. Anyways, one is up now. :blush:
