[OOC] A Game of Trust

I've been without a sheet (or at least not a consistent one) on Oliver for a couple years now. Consequently his rolls and abilities have been inconsistent (to the good and the ill). I've finally commited to a version of him. I'm still getting his equipment squared away, but expect posts from him to more fully take advantage of his Rogue-ish-ness and interesting items to make appearances from the pack atop Bastrop. Let's just say he made some discreet acquisitions in various townships while the rest of you slug-a-beds slept. Nothing big, just stuff he might have shared had his player had a definitive list of stuff instead of a vague idea.

Stuff I'm not sure on IC (correct me if I'm wrong):

Oliver bought Whistler (light warhorse) and a second light warhorse back when we purchased horses (military saddles on both) when Shavah was part of the crew.

Who is riding that second horse? I had thought Tatlock. But I don't now recall Tat riding that horse in recent memory - and certainly Tat would have offered the horse to Fendric or Nurthk when Vespers and Gale died.

Just so we're clear on all that while I'm getting Oliver's 'house' in order.

Sorry, but that just puts a huge grin on my face.

As far as that second horse, I have no clue at this point. I think I forgot about it in the arrowhawk battle, so it was certainly never killed... I suppose it could have fallen into general use by this point; if it comes up while there's still ambiguity, we can always throw a die to figure out who's riding it.

Yeah, I'm a little chagrined about this whole sheet thing. I'd been mining old posts trying to reverse engineer what Ollie's rolls should be. I apologize for any upsets to balance and fairness that my lack of recordkeeping has caused.

GP, I emailed you using the menu dropdown from your forum posts, but I'm not sure how that email gets to you... if it gets to you... if you check that email or what address of mine it provides for any response you may have. So, I'll be keeping an eye out for a message from you and reporting back if I don't see one.

Re: Horse... I forgot about it too, pretty much back when we bought horses, everyone was getting one except Tatlock, so - because it's also good to have remounts - Oliver bought two and gave one of them into Tatlock's care.

That's what my brain remembers at least. What got said IC I'd have to go digging for. If we end up with Oliver owning two horses, what did we do back at the arrowhawks? Did Nurthk and Fendric let Tatlock keep riding, did Tatlock refuse and either Nurthk or Fendric are riding that horse now?

I have a fuzzy memory of Tat trying to come up with a name for the horse.... gonna go digging.
 

Okay... dug up the stretch where we got horses and where we got Tatlock... didn't remember the horses came before the boy. Of course, it was THREE YEARS AGO. Sheesh. :D

EDIT: Meant to add... probably the horse is considered Tatlock's. And while I won't speak for festy or dpdx, probably Nurthk and Fendric would have let/wanted him to keep it.

Say - anyone else recall that it was Oliver that brought Tatlock along? Or that he was supposed to accompany us 'to Sesphar. And no further.' :)

Good times. It's funny how much bigger and more epic this game feels to me because of the long RL time we've put in, even though the pace is slow-ish, and the IC time is relatively short.

I'm going to go ahead and claim that Fendric wouldn't consider taking a horse from another member of the Fellowship, even an apprentice such as Tatlock. Most likely, Fendric will cobble together whatever he can find, and buy a horse at the next opportunity.

I've been in this "Casual" game for several years, spanning four places to live, two states, and three different jobs. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
 

A question for GP:

There isn't a 'living' worm represented on the map near Oliver, though there is a dead one, the text indicates that he didn't finish off the one he was fighting. Which to go by?
 




ooc - Casual

Apologies for the lack of posts. Its been a bit mental here for the last few days. It will be for the rest of the week. So I'm pretty much going to have to write myself off until then.
