Damn if I grabbed those posts by turtle and Jack before they switched the boards around again! Sorry, fellas! You're going to have to re-add them here yourselves and we'll pick it right back up from this point.

OODM: Sure, that might be all you wish to do in how you directly affect the game at this point. It might even be wise to do no more than this, lest you be getting ahead of yourself without the results of that one small action being unveiled to you. Yet I can't help thinking that you would like it very much if you could participate beyond this meager offering...?

We all know that just making up stuff about the world might hurt the concept held by the DM but the world of the character is in the mind of the player. Nothing is stopping you from expounding on how the character feels or what sort of moral and ethical musings might be floating around in his head. Is the character happy or sad? Is he feeling greedy? Tentative? Impish? Get inside the character's head and give your DM a little more to go on while working his butt off to bring you this game. It can only be to your benefit to spill your character's internal beans upon the page.

Surely a week of the boards bouncing back and forth between servers has you itching to write a little more than just that...

While Danmor concentrates on the blood trail, becoming more and more worried as they advance in the tunnel his thoughts go to his duties at the Temple.
By this time Terner should have returned at the Temple with the lambs, and he will begin to ask what's happened to me. He'd never suspect me to be twenty feet under him. Or not... I can no longer see the opening of the tunnel but I am really clueless on where we are... I hope Arim knows.
Mmmm, he (if the wounded man is really Master Zelper) has lost a lot of blood. I hope they didn't finish him up. Please Darien let us be in time to save him. Now I understand my teacher's words "A good healer is eager to do his work; a better healer is eager NOT to do his work".

When she sees the blacksmith's son, she rushes to the door and meets him on the front step with a huge hug and a kiss on his cheek saying, "Thank goodness you have returned! I know you must have good news for me!"

"Not just yet," he mumbles, becoming annoyed at her blind affections for him, "We're still looking.

He guides into the shop by the arm, and closes the door behind them to shut out the noise of the street. Once inside, he fixes her with a sober look, hoping for once that she'll take something seriously. "Ponulia, we need to know who your father bought the warehouse from. It's very important. Please tell me anything you know about them."

Arthael's face shows no emotion. He reaches out with his feelings toward his familiar, revelling in the shared sensation. Having gotten over his momentary panic, Arthael has now steeled himself for what lies ahead and is even somewhat eager to proceed through the tunnel. His face, however, disembles whatever emotions rage beneath the surface.

Arim thinks to himself, "that bird would have to be an Olypmian to hold this 3' long, iron bar in that 8 ounce frame of his..."

...as he whiles away the time, crawling forward in the muck.

OODM:

PH pg 114 - Sunrod: This 1-foot-long, gold-tipped, iron rod...

PH pg 144 - Sunrod... ...1lb.

MM pg 201 - Raven... ...Tiny Animal... ...Str 1...

MM pg 200 - Raven... ...2 feet long... ...wingaspans of about four feet...

MM pg 5 - Tiny... Weight 1 lb.- 8 lb.

PH pg 142 - (Str) 1 (Light Load) up to 3 lb. ... (Medium Load) 4-6 lb. ... (Heavy Load) 7-10 lb.

You've still not cleared up whether you have relinguished the sunrod to Crow (the Raven). Up to you, of course, but try to make my life a little easier by saying so one way or another. Also, if you're playing that your character doesn't understand it, that's fine, but if this is your way of misquuoting the rules to a fellow player, than I think we've discussed that before. I awaited your post clarifying whether or not you have given up the sunrod...

OOC: That is an impressive bit of quoting, Mark. I didn't misquote - I guessed, and was right about the material, but not about the length. I personally don't believe the bird can pick up a mini-crowbar. My PHB doesn't state the weight of the sunrod - the weight of a crowbar (which the picture clearly shows is almost identical to the sunrod in all except heft) is 5 pounds (and that seems light). Arim has never seen a bird pick up more than a couple-ounce object. If this Raven wants to pick up the sunrod if he has to drop it, than more power to him. Player request: can we please have something happen in the tunnel other than the Herculean bird look longingly at the light source? *big poke of fun*

Clarify, please...

(PS. I made a ruling and laid a foundation based on the rules. This is not a debate. Regardless of what you believe should be the case, this is how it is. Please resist the urge to hold the game hostage while you debate a ruling I have made and clarify what I have asked you to clarify.)
