[OOC] Academy of Drell, Part II

[Zhure]

I live. Crawled out of my death bed. Back to regular posting as of today (later).

Looks like the concensus is a 'no' on resculpt mind.

I've been thinking of implementing a set of house rules on psionic combat, to make it more worthwhile, but I hate springing house rules in mid-game. Maybe after the game hiatus and I've had time to completely scribe the rules.

Speaking of the hiatus, we're getting very close to a solid clear break-point, depending on the way things go.

Zhure - should I be remembering what book they're talking about? I'm drawing a blank.

 

[Zhure]

Book? That book Yodwin was so obsessed about? Do we even still have that... It seems so small after all this...

Welllllllllllllllllllllll... technically, Maerath (poilbrun) had the book, but since he dropped out of the game, it's a little hard to say exactly where it is.

We can either assume Maerath left the book in someone else's care, and it happens to be with the group on this island, or it is still with Maerath back on Drell.

I'll leave it up to whichever you decide makes the most sense; I can run it either way. Instead of making it a long voting process, here's how we'll decide. Whoever posts first in the IC thread (whether via internal dialogue or in conversation) establishing the whereabouts of the book, that's the way we'll run it.

If anyone has a solid argument for a different resolution, post it here and we'll hash it out. Sound fair?

It would take to long to 'splain, so let me sum up.

Yodwin the Blue, the head librarian, an aged half-elf at the Academy, gave a book to Maerath for 'study.'

That same evening, some mysterious figure and some inky blobs attacked the library, and left after a few remarks about seeking a book.

Yodwin denied any knowledge at first, then recanted under pressure, telling the group he didn't remember much about the book, save it was Xargon's book. Xargon being an ancient figure from nearly pre-Empire days who was said to be the defender of the Empire. It had something to do with Jotunland (the icy land north of the Empire where giants dwelled). Yodwin said the rest of his memory on the subject was very foggy.

Maerath was unable to decipher the book. It seemed to be written in dwarven runes, but it was gibberish and made no sense.

Later... the group met Emair outside the grove on the eastern side of the island, where they discovered the grotto under the meditation pool. Once emerging from the pool, the group found orcs had attacked Drell.

I think that's most of the major important points.

sounds good to me, that was a long time ago

 

[GnomeWorks]

Heh, that was a looong time ago... thanks for the recap, Zhure... at least it didn't involve storming the castle...

 

[Zhure]

You're welcome. Frankly I had to go through my old logs to find out who had the book. I'd forgotten that part.

It has been awhile I didn't know both of the current characters we are facing are half-lves... so much I have forgotten oh well Gulkma is the half-drow bastard right?

 

[Zhure]

Glukma is indeed a half-drow.

Emair is probably a half elf of some sort. He wears a hood and isn't the cleanest person around. It never really came up before, but looking closely, Keith can tell he's a half-elf.
