Kiss of Darkness: OOC: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Nonlethal Force]

Rhaka's not predictable though, and as a highly ideological exalted character.

Yes, this is correct. She is highly ideological and hopefully fairly exalted. You did fine, RA. In the future, if you are ever left in a pinch and need to move Rhaka to get the group to move ... fall back to the theory that Rhaka will submit to group will so long as the action does not violate her exaltedness and come back at a later time to fix anything that a hasty leaving might not allow her to finish. In general, though, what happened is fine.

Also, I didn't post an actual conversation between Rhaka and the mouse this time through because I didn't know if I could finish it before I left again - and if not ... it would definately halt the story pretty good. And if RA was simply going to have to NPC Rhaka's conversation it makes more sense to simply have RA write up a summary anyway. Less work for the DM.

So ... Here is Rhaka's list of questions. Please feel free to add/reorder - except that #1 cannot move to any other spot.

1. Rhaka would like to inform the mouse of the results of her quest first and foremost (Telling the mouse to stay put and describing Reyna who may bring food) in addition to learning the mouse's name.

2. Rhaka will ask if the poor around came in to find food last night.

3. Rhaka would like to ask the mouse if she has noticed anything out of place or newly added since Shadow came but before the place was looted for food. [In hopes of giving Kinjon something he might be able to track]

4. ... ?

Hey Bront, is Valerie ready to go ask the locals some questions? Baeleth prompted her IC (post #414), but since nothing has happened I thought I'd ask here.

Am back now. Will not be away for a while so my presence should be pretty stable.

Okay - I realize I was gone for something like 20 days ... and I went to the meta forum to ask a question and realized that I'd have to wade through several pages of posts to figure out if this question has been asked before. So I figure you guys are all smart and intelligent [Go ahead and pat yourself on your back now] so I'll ask it here first and you can tell me if anyone else has noticed this.

Are the # of views registering anymore? When I went away the first of August, I noticed my Storyhour had 401 views. I came back and was actually quite disheartened by the fact that it still says 401 views. I was actually rather sad, because I had thought to have a small - yet loyal - following of readers. [Small being like 5 or 6 ... I have no visions of grandeur.] I figured surely at some point in time someone would have read my storyhour during part 2 of my vacation.

However, I just now posted an update. I know I viewed the thread at least twice in clicking on it to put up a new post and then in editing the first post so to make the title reflect the additional post. Yet oddly enough, the number of views for my storyhour still remains at 401.

So ... anyone have any ideas?

Thanks. And - sorry if this sounds like I am shamelessly self-promoting. Merely ... curious.

EDIT: Nevermind ... things seem to have reverted back to somewhat normal.

Never noticed. Back btw

Possible to use Speak with Animals ... but Kinjon should be able to find the smell at the warehouse anyway if it is strong enough to still be smelled after all this time.

Errr. Its been a while since I was in IC mode. Assuming, of course, that Baeleth is right in his assumption about the warehouses being the right place.

Quite possibly so. Of course, it seems like it is faint enough that he doesn't smell it easily and can't follow it outside. Still, this would possibly allow positive identification from the insides of various warehouse

True. But at that point, asking for a description from Kinjon wouldn't narrow it any further - and it would waste a spell. Besides .. if need be Rhaka can Speak with Kinjon at the warehouses. Unless Rhaka meets up with Reyna first. Then Reyna gets the spell and can talk with Kinjon for a second and then talk to other animals for the rest of the time!

Sadly, it is Personal only--Rhaka was going to use it to talk to the horses, I believe.

Oh, is it? Rats ... first time out with a druid. Ever. Sorry!
