Reconnoitring, good word. Though you have it spelled wrong, I have learned something new.

Still loving the "report" thing going on. Makes it realistic.

I spelt it just fine I'm just not American.

Reconnoitring, good word. Though you have it spelled wrong, I have learned something new.

If you go to the link at the top of the definition and click on the link that says "Get the Top 10 Most Popular Sites for "reconnoitering"" and go to #4. A story about a violent takeover of a zoo by animal rights activists.

Well, it amused me, anyway.

Great writing as always. My only complaint is that there isn't more of it.

I spelt it just fine I'm just not American.

Ah, that explains a it. Then that was just for our American viewers at home. (Who can likely already feel the tidbits of information slowly falling out of your brains. And they like it.)

That's true, he's done an excellent job of making Saltmarsh look like a real "hick" town. This doesn't wash well with Kull, his village was rather "hick" and he didn't aprove of that either. I think Zalich is a tad too urbane and world wise to put up wih it for long.

Of course that's just my opinion...

I think it's about time I stepped in and make a comment

As some of you may be aware, I'm the Gm of this wonderful group.

In relation to the actual village of Saltmarsh, those of you who have access to the old U1-3 series may recollect that the actual town of Saltmarsh is not detailed but is recommended. Well I decided to detail it nicely, with a large variety of NPC to encounter and my idea was to make it a nice seaside village with really likeable people populating. It would seem, according to adventurers, that there is a really fine line between quaint and hicksville. Such is life. At this point I'm preparing the situation for the coup detate I'm sure is just around the corner.

Thanks everyone for reading about this by the way.

It would seem, according to adventurers, that there is a really fine line between quaint and hicksville.

From the Dictionary of Zalich

Quaint: A town of villagers who, when presented with news of impending doom, help you protect their home and hearth to the best of their meagre abilities and then shower gratitude upon you when you succeed.

Hicksville: A town of villagers who, when presented with the news of impending doom, try and charge you for saving them and lay as many obstacles as possible between you and a job well done.

Note that Zalich doens't actually care about the award, all he wants is gratitude and a general assumption that the threat is serious enough to not charge us for saving them

Also note that Zalich isn't actually as bloodthirsty as he appears in the game, he's just got a really low Charisma and tends to speak his mind. He wouldn't dream of grinding the villagers into dust, but he's quite at home wishing it would happen.

 

[Capellan]

Clearly, steps have to be taken, for the community's own good. The current leaders are quite clearly either inept, corrupt, or both.

None of which means that Kull plans an orgy of blood in the streets. He has no plans for a coup d'etat.


arwink: are you ever going to update something other than Copperheads?

arwink: are you ever going to update something other than Copperheads?

Eventually. Mega-module will get updated when I'm convinced we'll start playing again, which could be a while knowing two of the players.

I'll update here when I'm at work with large expanses of time to fill. Probably in about two weeks.

 

[Talix]

Thanks for the update. Still loving the flavor.

Just found this and am enjoying it so far!
