I just wanted to offer a reason why we haven't heard much from alsih20. He is running a Cermaic DM contest, and he posted there that he has been having computer problems. He is back now, but from what I understand he is still very busy. He had to put off the Ceramic DM contest, and I think that same delay may be the reason for his lack of responses. This may not be the reason, but I think it is, and I just wanted to help explain why we haven't had much input from alsih2o.
Alsih20: if this is wrong, sorry. I just remembered your post from Ceramic DM ans thought the other players might like to know your condition.

Mac, thanks for the update though I think alsih2o done a bang up job if you ask me even if he's busy as all hell right now.

Brother...got a quick question for you...when you said Loske heard the comments from the dwarves, do you mean Dog's comment and my smirk as those?

The italics were just his thoughts on him asking her if he could come, and I just wanted to get my head straight before I posted again...

Great interaction all...I'm having a blast with this....

Gotcha, I miss read it then and I will fix my post then. And this is a blast!

Whoa, I just realized, what kind of boni halflings get on rogue skills ... Cale has one level less in rogue, but his move silently and hide outdo anything Jobis could do for the next few levels ...

And I think it's clear, that with 4-5 people going exploring, if we want to be silent, etc we need to split up. Plus if Swift is with us Jobis can get away from him

Ah, at least we advance!

Seems the party is presently split as follows:
1 - Scouting party, discreetly advancing up river from a small stream (Cale in the lead, Kelkan, Loske, Jobis, Swift)
2 - Camp party, preparing the lizard for food, improvising weapons (Toskar as master meat-carver, Edward Talmed helping with the meat, Dog considering moving the camp towards the trees)
3 - Walking alone by the beach Solomon Kreel.

And I don't know about Jak, but I'd assume he is with the other dwarves.

o.k. kiddies. you can rend about 650 lbs of meat from the lizard, this is assuming that you are going after it like amateurs, as i haven't seen any butchering type skills from anyone (i am counting rangers as amateur for butchering purposes, but damned better than most folks )

there are 28 top teeth adn 28 bottom teeth. with 4 hours work each can be made into a d4 dagger given a ""take 10" situ.


the lizard hide might be makeable into armor, but it would need to be treated, tanned, adn boiled.

of the 3 ships you were on 1 was considered the guide ship, and 2 of the dwarves distinctly rememebr the captain easing the boy at the helms mind by telling him "there ain't nothing out here for leagues on end, this is the easiest part of the journey" , so you are relatively sure that this island is not charted.

Thanks for the reply alsih2o. I was getting crazy trying to figure out if we were on the right island or not.

So, do you reckon things are getting on a good shape so far? Frequence of posts and all that?

Btw, I found a thread of yours over at Story Hour and noticed it mentioned Maissen. Will reading that Story Hour give insight into the workings and background of your world? Should we avoid it in the possibility it may disclose information you would rather offer at a more timely moment on this thread?

Anyway, nice story so far. I stopped reading at the 2nd mention of Maissen I think, but was appreciating it at the time.

600 years ago?! Heh, I wonder what changed, besides the hordes circling and attacking the colonies in the new continent.
