Crossed Paths - OOC

The wounded look was only because he had already got the point from Brioc. I would have had him say "Enough already! I get the message." (which, funnily enough, someone said today at work) But it didn't sound very classical civilisation era 'ish.

Yep, no hard feelings.

Doghead, i was just wondering, can marcus speak dwarven, i don't know if grassus does either, but it seems he understands what i am trying to say, thats why i'm keeping it up, and Dhrormium like to speak his tongue from time to time.
I've been talking dwarven to grassus from the beginning now, i left it out the last few posts i think.
and maybe to clarify my roleplaying a bit, i'm trying to 'be there' for grassus, and let him not he is not being forgotten or bossed around. And he seemed happy to help with the food and other smallish campingsite tasks when we where on the surface, so i thought he wouldn't mind
 

Hey Krilith, good call. I didn't realise that Dhormium was speaking dwarven. I presume that you mean the stuff in red. I'll watch out for that next time.

I think that you have done a nice job of rounding out Dhormium, putting flesh on the mechanical skeleton. I know what Dhormium is trying to do. Marcus does as well, basically. But he does have a bity of a temper at times, and tunnels can make him grumpy and irritable. You'll notice that he did in the end, bite his tongue and keep his thoughts to himself.

On the other hand, I thought that telling Grassius to get food ready did come across a bit as bossing him around. Thats what Marcus reacted to. Whether it was ment that way (which I don't think it was) is another matter. But Marcus, as mentioned, isn't at his most gracious at the moment.

doghead.
 

Oops! Like doghead, I didn't notice that Dhrormium was speaking in Dwarven.

Like Marcus, Brioc's feeling a little on edge at the moment, although not because of the tunnels. The sphinx worries him, not least because of the casual threat to eat the group if they didn't pay. Hence his insistence on taking Grassius with the group, as he doesn't trust the sphinx any further than he could throw her...
 

yep, red is dwarven, sometimes i might have forgot when i pray to clangeddin but i think it adds nicely to the roleplay to just use the colour.

Dhormium is underground and is in his own habitat.
remember when we first got here? and we decended down those steps? dhormium naturally took over some of the leadership, it just felt natural for him.
And with grassus, i'm just trying to integrate him in the group giving him a part and a job to focuss on, and i like the little man.
 

For what it's worth, I did add to the Rogue's Gallery entries for Mendicus, Grassus, Sergius, G'ruk and Ecthow.

Let me know if you want more details about any of them posted, or about any other facet of the game. It need not be about a person in particular.

You should all feel free to expand your RG entry with whatever theories or notes you want to have handy.

As for the IC thread, I'm waiting for someone to say something along the lines of "I use my sword to try to cut through the spider webs barring the stairway." or a torch, or turn them into violin strings, or whatever...
 

Thanks for the updates to the Rogues Gallery thread Manzanita. Whats the go with Ecthgow, is Erich Dragon (that was Ecthgow's player right?) back on the boards?

'twould be interesting to see a writeup from the other players [nudge, nudge] - also to see what those characters not with the party from the start make of the quest.

I think that Ehldannis has seen to that.

BTW, what was the original tie in between Marcus and Octar? Where was it that they parted ways and where was it that Marcus caught up with the party again?
 

I'm not aware ErchDragon has returned. I may have use for Ecgthow in the future, though, so I wanted to make sure everyone remembered him.

As for Marcus and Octar. Marcus was the chosen one, whose master asked him to meet Brioc and aid him in whatever quest he was undertaking. While he was traveling from Romania to Bulgaria he met Octar and was impressed with the man's character and skills. A couple days out of (insert town name)town Marcus fell ill, and the local clerics predicted he would die. Not wanting to completely fail his master, Marcus gasped out his story to Octar before falling into a coma. Octar then went on to meet Brioc and the others at the Inn of the Green Griffin. A week or so later, Marcus emerged from his coma, feeling much better, and managed to track down the others in Sevastopol.

Since this is the OOC thread, I might add that I inserted that story into their origins 1) to facilitate the addition of another player down the line, and 2) to inject a bit of mystery into Octar's origins. Whatever his motivations for continuing the adventure, they are his alone, and not based on a request from a 'father-figure.' Nor does he have any ties to the adventuring party of Brioc's father. To understand more of his motivations, one would have to ask Octar himself.

Speaking of that, Thomas Hobbes has been gone some time. Does anyone have an opinion of what we should do w/Octar? Replace him? Recruit another player? Wait? When we do reach the climax of this adventure, I don't want to be controling any of the PCs. So before then, I'll have to recruit a replacement or get rid of him in some other way, which would probably be less pleasent for Octar.
