Been crazy busy the last few days; sorry. I'll try to make time to post tomorrow evening - well, this evening, I guess. And now, back to work, then bed.

Laumus, having sat quietly listening for much of the exchange, soaking up the information from Elmo and trying to piece together from scattered fragments what might be up, pipes up to offer his skill in investigating, but is drowned out by the quarrel, instinctually drawing away from a...

Having quietly shuffled into the private room, a half-step behind his table-mates, Laumus is just beginning to again relax when he is greeted by the elf, flustering him into a stammer. Instead of a reply - or his name - he manages a friendly nod, after a moment. After everyone - even the elf -...

I'm trying to come up with nonmagical enhancements to armor other than mithral or adamantine. I know I've seen books with other materials before, which would be helpful - but what I'd really like to find is something akin to "alternate masterwork" qualities, some of which might even stack. Has...

"Only as much," Laumus begins, pulling out the seat and angling it so that it catches heat from the fire before sitting down, "as is common knowledge. That it was the site of some battle a score or so years past, and that it has been known to house cultists on more than one occasion. I'd heard...

"Academic, actually." Laumus fingers the back of an empty chair, hesitating to draw it up and seat himself at the table. "It seems that everywhere I turn in this little hamlet - ah, in Hommlet - people are mentioning the place. And even in... even back home, that is, I'd heard bits and tales of...

As the human, dwarf, elf, and goliath break away from the crowd to return to their table, Laumus steps forward, hesitantly. "Ah, pardon, neighbors. I, ah... I mean not to be interrupting, and I don't mean to be starting a fight, but... I heard you mention something about a book and a foul...

Laumus sinks back in his chair and returns to his meal, finishing off the porridge and turning his attention to the bread, satisfied - or perhaps unsatisfied - to have concluded that the exchange had nothing to do with the Temple. Bugger. Now what? Well, I suppose I should still keep an eye...

The problem there is those godawful scribing costs. Scrolls are tolerable, but scribing = ow. Hey, no problem. When your effectiveness goes up, so does my life expectancy. ;)

Bugger, Laumos grumbles to himself. They're leaving. He follows the man with his eyes, observing over the rim of his porridge bowl as the former approaches the crowd. Oho! Not leaving, but... hm. If they're going to get involved, it may be worth keeping an eye their direction. Now, where...

It's because the above link has the [url] tag embedded again partways through.

A shame. Twas a good name. :)

Kinda weird - isn't it "Erl King?" Goethe's poem?

[Grins.] I was going to mention the same thing. And as Erudite mentions, don't forget Disable Device - in case you weren't aware, it's been errata'd to be on the Scout's skill list. :) (And you're not the only one who forgot things - I was looking over my equipment today, and noticed that I...

A young man sits by himself, a few feet from the human and dwarf, soaking up the heat from the fire. His bowl of porridge rests on the table before him, barely eaten, and he slowly picks a bit from the center of his bread. He occasionally glances up, peeking looks at the others around the inn...

I actually had something very similar to that last night. I'd let the players know beforehand that it was going to be a downtime session - they've just worked their way through the first story arc of the campaign, and it's also time to level up. They're likely to be staying in the town they're...

A few years back, we had a neat thread where people shared their experiences with the supernatural - you might get a bit out of that.

"I'm carrying 20k slings." ;)

Sounds good, and thanks for the update. :) [Crosses fingers.]

Laumus Elzruil Here's my submission. I'll keep peeking in to see how things are going, and here's to hoping there's room! :) (Also, just curious - is it 7000 XP or gold we start with? It says XP, but I think everyone has used it as gold. And if I've misunderstood, I could definitely grab...
