Or Not.

[doghead]

I'm back, again. Sort of.

Its been a long, long time.

First off, my apologies to any DM's and players I wasn't able to contact, or get word to explaining my sudden disappearance.

It was good to see that some of my old games, games in which I once played, are still running. I have seen both 'High Law and Low Justice' and 'A Game of Trust' in the IC pages. Ask me about Saanath, or Xiao and I could still bend your ear talking about them, months after I last looked at their sheets. But its that way with good characters. Sadly, many more no longer have a place to call home. But I still remember them.

So why have I delurked, weeks after discovering I could access Enworld again? To be honest, I'm not really sure. I suppose that I wanted to say hello, see how people are going, find out what's new and exciting.

I've thought about picking up a game or even starting another of my own. But if am, truth be told, feeling a little old and tired. I used to get home, have dinner and fire up the computer at nine thirty and game until the small hours of the morning. Now, by nine thirty, I'm contemplating bed. Working on a farm will do that to you.

Anyways, for now, hello to everybody, anybody. It good to see gaming at Enworld is alive and kicking. I really loved gaming here. I hope that you are too.

Welcome back, doghead!

Hello Doghead,
High Law and Low Justice lingers on at 1 v 1 with myself keeping it warm for Maerdwyn, though matters have gone on a bit since Saanath was last PCed...

In any case, good to hear from you

Welcome back doghead! Sorry we couldnt get things worked out for you 6 months ago.

 

[doghead]

Hello. Hello. And Hello. And Thanks. Its good to be back.

High Law and Low Justice lingers on at 1 v 1 with myself keeping it warm for Maerdwyn, though matters have gone on a bit since Saanath was last PCed...

Yeah, I can't imagine any of my characters are still standing. Has Maerdwyn been around much lately? I see DrZ is still fairly active.

Don't worry about it. You guys did a lot more than my ISP ever did. 'Yes' my ... well Granny will give me a slap if I finish that sentence.

I miss you Doghead. I hope you can keep a PC or two alive. Doesn't take much time and you are a real joy to DM or adventure with.

Maerdwyn had to stop reffing about a year or so ago, I've been running the game since then, now as a 1:1 with Dr Z - though the rest of the PCs (including Saanath) are still around. Gwydion is about to return to the starport after a little trip so if you wanted to play Saanath again it would be a good time

 

[doghead]

Thanks Manzanita, you have always been a pleasure to play alongside, and you run a pretty mean game as well. Is Dark Master's game still running?

Wilphie, you tug at my heart strings. I hate seeing characters die - its like losing a friend. Could you give me a précis of what has happened since I have been away. I'll try and read up on the ic threads, but a summary will surely help.

Wrong thread

Well, let's see

You were last around at the tail end of the business with the Dvonn yes?


Well, that has been resolved:

http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2481681&postcount=413

Quinn has left to do Secret Marine Stuff (TM).
Zaedhrarrg has been invalided back to his homeworld
Tomas has decided he likes a quite live in obscurity

The rest of the group were sitting for witness protection for some time, before deciding what to do. Going after Nells-C was mooted as an option, but there are other people better at it than them. Instead they've been in contact with the Scout Service who have a new little job for them:

http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2493787&postcount=7

(That couple of pages of discussion is worth reading verbatim), but see especially:

http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2534735&postcount=33

So the group has found themselves the 400 ton Scout Merchant Vyrkis and a breif to unofficial promote trade and links with the Imperium on the frontier; they have also picked up Gwydion as their "liason" with the ISS and an acqaintance of his, Tuan, as another crew member.


They are currently taking jobs to get them there (it's a fair hop to the frontier); their current cargo job was a two parter:

1) Supply run to the research installation on Bleue Mer (this was the planet Treth once owned right back at the beginning of the game) - and Saanath was around for some of that digging. I have Meadwyns original notes about this...

2) On the way they were taking some overdue harvest equipment to Shirgegge along with a dozen business people on their way to deal with the K'kree at their Expo (which was suppossed to be on Dukh but stopped a planet early because of the Emperor's embargo)

The cargo run has gone fine, however one of the passengers was killed in jump-space when someone turned up the gravity in his cabin and overstressed his heart - death was by heart failure and it was only because the higher gravity caused blood to pool more quickly than normal that the underlying cause was found. Search of his cabin revealed a few chips worth of intelligence data there.

With a murder, espionage and no obvious suspect the group discretely contacted the Imperial Light Cruiser Coronel - which was escorting the K'kree - and they took charge of the situation as discretely as possible. However there was no obvious clue as to who was responsible.

The Flotilla's intelligence officer then made a proposal: The deceased was obviously going to sell this data to the K'kree. He would supply a subtly altered and misleading version of the data which you could then sell to the K'kree, whatever you made from them you could keep.
Ruzz'koff thought this stank and said no way; but Gwydion took the offer up privately and discretely and went and made the deal. However he was attacked whilst finalising the deal and has just arrived back at the Starport with one of the passengers who might not be all she claims to be.
