Excellent. Be sure to introduce yourself when you do. We still don't know who found him at SoCal last year and announced "Kettenek's Justice Demands I buy Lunch Money." So awesome!

Good question, and it was a mix. This update represents the tail end of the session where Lira was killed, so I was able to keep busy taking notes (per usual) and amuse myself by "playing the corpse." (For the last few rounds of combat I would declare my action as: "I lie there and ooze" or...

Quick side-note: If anyone is heading out to Origins, go find the Halmae's own "Bad Monkey" Jeff Tidball, who will be working the Atlas Booth. Tell him what Kettenek's Justice demands, and get a free Captain's Coin from his new game Pieces of Eight! If you're not going to be at Origins...

So yeah, our final decision basically came down to picking a name that would let us pick cool gladiator alter-egos to go by at the same time. :) Here's the back-page bit on the other teams in the tournament: The Field of Twenty-Four As expected, last year’s champions, Auric’s Warband, are...

Thanks for your input everyone! We wound up going with a variant on one of the poll options, inspired by the Divine M/Right suggestions. What happened next? Imagine that somewhere in Dar Aego, someone is writing an early 20th Century American newspaper. Then imagine that this piece was...

I've always said that it's better than being bored most of the time. ;)

Part the One-Hundred Ninety-Seventh In which: revenge can certainly be served cold, but it can also be served wet. The sailors all stand by silently, wondering what will become of them. Reyu thanks the octopus for its service, and dismisses it. Thatch takes a foot and pushes the corpse of the...

That was the clincher right there. It's hard to follow sometimes in the story hour just because of the length of time over which events play out, but the idea that she wasn't really a good Questor had been bugging Lira more and more. A lot of that goes back to her conversation with Devon...

Notes on the fight: Lira was declared dead at –30 hp. In fact, with the surprise round, and an attack of opportunity, Tempeste had Lira down to one hit point before her first action. Lady Tempeste’s crit in the next round was the very definition of overkill. It did, however, make me feel...

Part the One-Hundred Ninety-Sixth In which: the party gets a little smaller. Before the question has even finished leaving Lira’s mouth, Lady Tempeste reaches behind her and whips out her spiked chain, which comes swinging around with blinding speed, straight into Lira’s left shoulder. The end...

Part the One-Hundred Ninety-Fifth In which: something is not right. Something is not right. Lira says as much to Reyu, who agrees. Reyu also brings up a disturbing point. “Can you… verify… that the healing potions we were given are truly that?” Lira shakes her head, keeping her voice low...

Yeah, but to engineer an entrance like that, we could look into paying people. :)

Part the One-Hundred Ninety-Fourth In which: what other party could find a railroad in the middle of the Halmae? At last, Thatch, Anvil, Reyu, Eva, and Lira are ready to make their departure. The Count places a small barge at the party’s disposal, complete with a captain and three crewmen...

From your lips to future employers' ears. Good to have you back. :) Update coming in a few minutes.

Thanks happyelf! And because I can't resist the temptation to do some kind of update on 6/6/06, here's a bit I forgot from the last update, with more information on the map we got from Simone, and another graphic from Fajitas. The map is consistent with the one the party obtained from Elsuki...

Well, easy answers first. We're not still out tracking down archmages. Rest assured, you will find out who the next chancellor of the Mages' Academy will be, eventually. Which isn't to say that there isn't some excitement to come before we get there. And after, but before the five-year...

Getting to your question in a minute Jackylhunter, but first, update! Part the One-Hundred Ninety-Third In which: we resort to subterfuge, lies, and banditry! Reyu has to give Lira credit. If she didn’t know that the young sorcerer had the constitution of a horse, she might have actually been...

Thanks for the suggestions and votes everyone. Keep 'em coming. Better than many of ours that didn't make the short list (The Diversity Bunch, Title IX, Mosaic, The Defenders of Daybreak...) Funny enough, so far Anvil's main reaction has been to shake his head, and quietly mutter, "This is so...

Well, this is an update... of sorts. Our group has come back from a seven-month hiatus for the players and a five-year time jump for the characters. Now, the gang (somewhat changed) is back in Dar Aego, trying to convince our old friend (?) al-Assal to sponsor us as a gladiator team so that we...
