[OOC] Pool of Radiance

[Thanee]

New game thread is up.

I will fill in the root post there with a synopsis of the previous chapters, eventually.

Gibbery things? For some reason, that makes me think of.....

BULLYWUGS!

Am I wrong? Probably, but, then, what else is new?

 

[Thanee]

I meant something along the lines of gucky or slimy, actually. Doesn't glibbery (not gibbery ) mean that?

[Leif]

Well, to my knowledge, Gibbery means jiggly or gelatinous, like jell-o, but I could easily be mistaken about that. As far as I know, Glibbery is not an english word. Gucky, I don't think, is a word that is recognized by, say, english professors, but I get what you mean. Slimy is, of course, just plain SLIMY.

 

[Leif]

Oh, no! I just had a horrible thought! What if the big slimy thing is not a bullywug, but is instead an ABOLETH! EEEEEEEKK!

 

[Leif]

Ok, guys, I think we've probably gotten about all the good we're likely to get out of this Kobold. I'm open to suggestions for how we proceed next. Will it mess Sir Dryw up if we kill him? hehehe

 

[Voadam]

I would think gibbery things means things that gibber (make sounds that resemble unintelligible speech).

 

[Thanee]

As I said, not "gibbery" but "glibbery", which (as far as I know) means (among other things) something similar to "slick", "slippery", "slithery" and is probably used in a completely different context normally...

As for the "bookworms", if I get Voadam right, he refers to the term being used to describe people who read too many books.

I also don't think there actually is an actual worm called "bookworm".

Eldwyn was perhaps being a bit obtuse. Just fyi, there was a 1st edition monster called a 'Bookworm' from monster manual 2 I think. My age is showing.

A quick personal update: It's been a helluva week. My head cold has gotten progressively worse throughout, all during a week in which I absolutely could not take a sick day. Too many of my students have lost it. We've had two stabbings in two weeks, for example; thankfully, no one was seriously injured. I'm going to get caught up on my EN World stuff this weekend, which includes Monday since it's MLK Day.
