Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

[Nail]

I wanted to mention this in the last session, but when I thought to do so, things were going at such a pace that there didn't seem to be a good time for it.. ah well..

It's probably too late now...but I could remove it if you wish. I had thought I had your permission to post it....sorry!

Still, be sure to bring this up in character next time we meet, so the others will have an excuse to know it!

Strangely enough, the other party member seem not to notice the stone work like you do.

 

[Nail]

Here's the sort of stonework you see, Riva.

Oh, that's ok, I don't mind you posting it.. it adds a neat touch to what's going on in Riva's head for those who wouldn't otherwise know.. and you're better at the descriptive stuff than I am.. And it gives Riva (me) stuff to think about.. and (heh), that's one reason that Riva's so keen on getting underground and why those creature made tunnels weren't so interesting to him.. any clues to the builders are going to be where the goblins haven't been..

That and Goblins just aren't worthy foes.. if Riva wants vermin, he can go hunting for them anytime..

Good. I had hoped I hadn't posted it too soon.

They try, Riva. They try.

 

[Nail]

Speaking of "trying".....

Here's another picture of the sort of stonework Alderslook has. The only difference is the size of the blocks (and perhaps the color, Alderslook is more of an off-white).

For not being worthy foes, they knocked Riva into that pit pretty handily....at least they are making the effort.

Plus, they seem to be kicking Rowan's butt every time we see them!

Hey, now. Let's be fair, Rowan. Riva threw himself into the pit!

But they did do a fine job helping him back in there a time or two thereafter!

And I think everyone else in the party has noted that Riva isn't raging and charging into melee like he was at the beginning of this trek. I'm sure Riva would try to blow off his Fighting Defensively tactics and lack of raging with some sort of "Oh, I want it to be a fair fight" blathering, but Garret knows cautious tactics when he sees them. He's not quite sure if Riva has learned anything on this trip or not, but Riva's actions recently are encouraging nonetheless.

Finally, despite Riva's protestations, they've been doing a fair job of kicking ALL our collective butts at different times. I think everyone in the party has hit the dirt at least a few times, whether it was because of damage, trips or sleep spells. We're holding our own but this hasn't been a cake walk, by any means!

Fun ain't it!

Nail, are you stealing those pictures from that Indian? temple thread we were looking at awhile ago? If not, where are these? I'd like to reference them for my own game if I could! Thanks.

I must admit, I'm really having a blast playing the clever (but dumb), skilled (yet whimpy), sneaky (but very, very cowardly) foes the party has faced!

Oh, and Rowan: Goblins don't do the "effort" thing. Too much work.

(Hint: Remember the orcish graffiti you found on the walls of the tower?)

Not quite, although I'm always inspired by seeing that sort of stuff. In this case, I did a small bit of study of Latin - and South American civilizations in college, and the Incas have always struck me as cool. As the web is a wonderful place, I knew I could google these images. Have at 'em!

 

[Videssian]

I'm surprised that the stonework is as "bumpy" and contoured as it is though.. I mean, it'd be fairly straightforward to climb for a rogue.. it's not smooth at all.. unless the picture is just meant to show us how the stones fit together without mortar and the walls are actually smooth and sheer.

Heh, Riva has got to do something about his lack of missile weapons.. I mean, if we find a returning throwing axe, it's got Riva's name already on it! *laughs*
(unless it's cursed of course)

Well, it may have Riva's name on it, but Garret will be using it! With his natural ability at throwing weapons and the utility of having a melee and ranged weapon all in one while mounted, a returning weapon is at the top of Garret's list. Well, I guess it's naturally behind any kind of magical weapon, but it's definitely second!

Take heart, Riva, you can keep the cursed one. Morwyn won't let me keep that one, but it should work just fine for you!
