    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Part the Seventy-Seventh In which: we take a brief pause to settle a nagging question. Kiara waits, mostly patiently, while Annika finishes preparing her spells. She actually kind of likes watching her as she slowly turns the pages of her spell-book, occasionally pausing to trace a gesture in...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Outright prolonged laughter, my friend. Outright and prolonged. Thatch's player sometimes gets teased a bit around the table due to his character's "special" relationship to his steed. Note, however, that this only takes place out-of-game. Because, well, in game Thatch carries a very large...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Part the Seventy-Sixth In which: what we have, is a failure to communicate. As the sun comes up over the horizon, and the rest of the party waits for news of the pursuit of the surviving goblins, some of the villagers set about building a pair of huge bonfires. In one, they quickly deposit the...

    Bumper Weekend Update! Part the Seventy-Fifth In which: the party prepares defenses, and Eva finds a mystery. The strangers arrive in the village after dark has already fallen. Five of them wear the livery of Lord Fau Meen, but the others are foreigners. Once they dismount, the one who wears...

    Err. No, that should be Lord Fau Meen. I have to run now, but I'll fix it when I get home from work. Good catch!

    Hey Dakkereth, thanks for dropping in to read and to post. You too LostSoul! And Termere, it was great to have you. Too bad you couldn't come back for the conclusion of the big >mumble mumble<... :)

    Part the Seventy-Fourth In which: Reyu shocks the Sovereign peasantry, and Anvil is not pleased to be proved correct. Reyu steps forward. “The question is: what can we do for you?” “For… for us?” “Do you have injured?” The peasant stands, blinking. “A few, Lady… But they can still work,”...

    Hey, this is just a desperate effort to cover how far behind the game I am. The session currently being posted was played 21 months ago today. ;) The author points frantically off in another direction, shouting, "Anyone coming out to Gen Con SoCal this year?"

    Part the Seventy-Third In which: Eva shows off her survival knowledge and Anvil has nothing to say. In the dark of a makeshift snow cave, Eva’s voice squeaks out, “What was that?” “What was what?” “Something brushed across the back of my neck.” A pause. “Sorry. That was Euro.” “Oh.” “Can...

    Part the Seventy-Second: In which: the Sovereignty provides a chilly welcome. Eva stands on the deck of the Alirria’s Star, watching the smooth roll of the Halmae below. A brisk sea breeze plays in the rigging, and several gulls cluster around the mast. Annika seems to be engaged in an...

    For the record, the following update has nothing to do with the above post. ;) Part the Seventy-First In which: Thatch makes a discovery, Lira makes a “friend,” and Anvil misplaces his sea-legs. Anvil looks out over the railing at the undulating sea. It is not a far journey to Dar Karo, home...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Actually, no, that was meant to be a bit poetic, but nothing so obscure. The literal-minded version reads: "She tries hard not to vomit as the image rises unbidden of Mai, her cat familiar, rent by horrifble black claws. She feels like she's just lost a big chunk of XP." Update hopefully...

    Part the Seventieth One more surprise… for the road. After about a week, the party is nearly ready to go. They have booked passage on a ship called the Alirria’s Star which will take them to Seaward, the Easternmost town in the Sovereignty. According to Anvil, the city’s full name is, “The...

    Database Backup Questions

    Okay, I freely admit I haven't slept much, but shouldn't Midnight Eastern be more like 5 AM GMT? Also, do you have an estimate for how long the boards are expected to be down? :) Thanks!

    Well, not from Lira's quarter. Remember, in the Halmae arcane casters can't create fire effects with their spells. It's Ehkt's element, and only divine spells can produce it. (At least, as far as anyone knows.) Also, the party has just hit fourth level, and so for Lira third level-spells of...

    Part the Sixty-Ninth A welcome return “We have to go back to and meet Lord Agasha to defeat Sheesak... She’s got Bob!” The following day, the party has gathered in their usual meeting room at the Temple of Justice to debate their next move. Thatch’s opinion of their options is quite clear...

    Thank you everybody for the birthday wishes. What I didn't realize until last night--I was a bit frazzled in the morning, trying to post before I had to leave for work--is that actually, Fajitas very nearly did give me an update for my birthday. Since Lira's scene was the only conversation in...

    Happy Birthday to me! And since I can't get Fajitas to put up a celebratory update, I'll just have to do it myself. Part the Sixty-Eighth A Series of Interesting Conversations Ever since the party’s discussion as to whether or not they should return to the Sovereignty to take on the druid...
