Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

re: post 778
I know i am putting Caerwyn's life in dire peril when I say this, but,

1. i agree with leif in that you are putting a lot of time and effort in the game as is. feel free to not complicat your life any further.

2. Part of the reason I get frustrated with new versions is that the risk of the game is sometimes over softened. use caution when making monsters less deadly.

re: what to do next

If I recall correctly, the man in the white plumed hat was the underworld figure that demanded the magic walnuts, right?

If so, then he was wanting to grow trees with instant dryads for him to enslave to his neferious purposes, right?

If so then that would not be acceptable to a paladin of Kord. Any action to prevent that from happening would be Caerwyn's primary choice of direction. Be it hunt down the distressed daughter's father, engineer her release of his debt or ... ahem ... cast the spell: creat mayhem upon the organized crime sydicate or what ever it takes, that is his choice of acton.

Yes I know that is not specific at all. Saving the distressed damsel of course would be his first action if you want something more specific.

addendum: this was posted as a correction by Industry gothica regurading the speculative post above:

No one ever said that the man in the white-plumed hat is the one that ordered the walnuts. However, anyone who's read the thread all the way through (if I recall correctly) should not that in the very first scene, when Loddie was beaten, there was an obvious half-moon impression left on his cheek. I might need to read the description again, but I believe the man in the hat might be wearing a ring that could leave such a mark. Normally I wouldn't say anything, but since there's no one left to really put it together, there it is...

Also, no one said that dryad walnuts automatically grow trees with dryads, unless it's in some other written source that I haven't seen. Although, that's not a bad idea.. I'm sure I could work it in somewhere.

take note how he avoided rebuffing my speculative comments

Yes, I know that, IG, but that was my own little speculation and twist on things. And I think Scotley and I may have intentions to use that idea in our own game. (If I can convince him, that is...)

 

[Scotley]

I'm sure you can twist my arm to get it into the game Leif.

Thanks for the bit on the ring IG.

 

[Leif]

i'm sure you can twist my arm to get it into the game Leif.

*twist*, *twist*, *twist*!!!

 

[Scotley]

Uncle!

take note of how he does not denie the possible accuracy of my comments in the IC speculations

 

[Leif]

The phrase, "neither confirms nor denies" springs immediately to mind

 

[industrygothica]

May some were correct.

Maybe some were incorrect.

Maybe some were incorrect, but will now be considered correct because I like the idea.

Maybe if you'd look out the window of the room that you're in at the inn, you'll see a man in a white-plumed hat preparing to launch a decently-sized fireball into the tavern in retaliation for mucking up his plans in the sewers.

Maybe I just like screwing with people's heads.

I bet someone looks out the window IC.
