[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 5193508, member: 15882"] I think we were dragging our feet. We set out originally to go into Martok, but we hit a serious snag: the curse - "to enter Martok you must give up what you value the most!". I'm not sure how that comes across in the Story Hour, but no-one wanted to do that so our next option was to go to Caer Morag and find a solution in the library and when that failed we were out of luck. I think our aimless wandering came from the fact that none of us wanted to face Martok. So our characters were putting off the inevitable. By the time we hit the edge of the storm, we decided to re-focus. This happens one other time later on in the story hour where we know what we have to do but, for some reason, put it off... If you're wondering what the characters value the most, I think it's pretty fair to say it's their power - although for Gorak, it was a toss-up between that and his snake ;) - Shayla's power is rooted in her force of personality and it defines her: from the beginning when her father gave her her inheritance then kicked her out because she was "different". I think she's trying to prove herself (but that's just my opinion); - Gorak is trying to be omiscient/immortal/"one with the universe" - escape his mortal bonds; - and Khalid...well I shouldn't speak for Khalid, but I think it's obvious...it's all about the chicks!
