As usual, I'll let Fajitas take major world questions, but not before I throw in my two cents. ;) Poor Paris. He spent his first 30 seconds of in-game life as "Lt. Paris"... until Fajitas figured out why I was looking at him so oddly, at which point he was summarily and retroactively demoted...

Part the Forty-Second: In which: the party searches for answers—although not to life, the universe, and everything. “Nobody move!” the man barks. Around the camp, five more armed men step forward. See Boss! I told you there was somebody out there! Mentally, Lira shushes him. Without...

*shakes head* You read that line and then just waited for me to post it, didn't you? Angcuru, glad you enjoyed Lira's party trick. Her drinking habits are an interesting example of the dice defining a character. I didn't originally picture her as much of a drinker, but according to her con...

Part the Forty-First In which: our new mission begins. The journey from Dar Pykos south through the Confederacy is relatively uneventful. The roads are well traveled and seem free of the bandits that plagued the party last time they went this way. In fact, it is with a shock that they realize...

Oh, the little pickle? Your plan worked, and we all died horribly. Just see if you get an invite to play in the "Pirates of the Halmae" one-shot now. :p The PC(s) of which you speak hooked up with us just as we were hitting level four, between archmagi one and two. Real-time: Jan '03. As...

Also, keep in mind that's real-time. In-game, we got this mission just after Sedellus Ascendant and it's currently a few weeks past Alirria rising. That's not so long, really. ;)

Part the Fortieth In which: SpyScribe and Fajitas search for an elegant way around a whole lot of exposition. Professor Alexandra steps forward, glances at the assemblage on the dais, and clears her throat. Although she is unaccustomed to speaking in such august company, she is determined not...

I'll let Fajitas give the definitive answer on the days of the week question, but it was something that came up when I was drafting the post. Probably should have cut it since "Friday" didn't wind up being in the post where it came out what those darn letters we saw Anvil and Lira getting were...

(Pfew, made it! Happy Birthday Bad Monkey Jeff. And special thanks to Fajitas, who shared in this week's writerly duties, as well as his usual advisorly ones.) Part the Thirty-Ninth In which: the party goes to Court. In the center of Dar Pykos, there is a castle. It is not the tallest...

Interlude: In which: Reyu seeks answers. (note to players in our game: There may still be a couple details here that are not common knowledge to everyone in the party. I don’t think anything here will be a surprise to anyone, but if you wish to remain pure of out of character knowledge, skip...

Oh, thank you! I loved that little exchange with Reyu. Tenacious' air of "You're sure you want to send this girl in the direction of people you care about?" was just perfect. (err, that would refer to the way you played it, not the way I wrote it.) Actually, I suspect Reyu will be trying to...

Best story hour title. Ever.

Part the Thirty-Eighth: In which: the party goes to court. The inquest takes place later that day, in a small courtroom in the Temple of Justice. Tenacious the Just oversees the proceedings. Also present are Professor Alexandra and Immobile the Just, who is there to speak to Aegosian...

Ah ha! So Lira's suspicions were well-founded. Speaking his name would have caused him to suddenly appear! Also, for the arcane trivia files, this episode contains Euro's first in-game speech of any length. (Although the story was that he'd always been able to talk, hence his earlier...

Part the Thirty-Seventh: In which: we find an old friend, and carry out an unpleasant errand. Having scoured the room in the sewers for any other clues, the party quickly hurries back aboveground. Anvil sends Dennis to the Temple of the Justicars to find Tenacious and bring him up to speed on...

Guys. Don't get me wrong here, I'm really glad you enjoy the story and are looking forward to the next installment. But it hasn't even been three full days since the last update. If all goes according to my clever plan, there should be another one towards the end of the week. In the...

Part the Thirty-Sixth: In which: Fajitas says, “Do you know how long I have been carrying around this card, waiting for you guys to get interested enough in Amelia to find this place?” Anvil finds himself standing in the center of the room, six zombies closing in around him. He is vaguely...

Part the Thirty-Fifth: In which: our heroes sink to new depths. “Why…” says Thatch, straining to lift the heavy sewer grate, “would anyone… go into the sewers… to be alone?” Dennis shrugs, “Makes more sense than going down there to meet people.” With a last grunt of effort, the metal grille...

I don't know if this is a problem per se, but does this mean that when I edit my story hour thread title to show an update I have to reselect the icon every time?

Murder, mayhem... and a parade! Very cool. :)
