"Out of the Frying Pan"- Book IV - Into the Fire [STORY HOUR COMPLETED - 12/25/06]

[Richard Rawen]

Well, Ming is an aberration among his kind. . .

And yet... he is their King. He sounds like he would have been a nasty fight, or maybe that was just him puffing up his chest and misdirecting the group, like a real politician.

 

[el-remmen]

And yet... he is their King.

Well, what he said and feels and what is reality can differ wildly.

 

[el-remmen]

'Alternate Prime' aquerra. Sounds like the old DC universe!

In my next Aquerra campaign I hope to have an adventure (or set of adventures in an arc) that take place in "Aquerra of the Apes"

Kazrack was looking at the black sapphire on the pedestal with a frown. The runes about it were a name in dwarven. It said, “Dwitek Chem Agh-Lorgh.” The name was familiar to him, but he was unsure why it would be on the metal plate beneath the gemstone. (3)
-------------------------------------
Notes:

(3) ‘Dwitek Chem Agh-Lourgh’ is the name of the last "official" king of a united dwarven nation.

Trap the Soul?

Trap the Soul?

Not Trap the Soul, but you're real close.

All shall be revealed in the next installment - which, unfortunately, will be somewhat delayed by the upcoming holiday - expect something by July 10th.

Wow. I expected that to be a throwaway detail. Y'know, Kazrak gets within inches of freeing an ancient dwarven king, perhaps changing the very destiny of his race - and never knows it.

ack! That's... that's over a WEEK! Have mercy!

Be glad that you weren't a regular reader when I took that 8 month break, or when you could hope for an installment every five weeks or so. . .

gak!

I was hoping for something more eloquent... really I was. I'm just glad for two things:
1) I wasn't drinking something when I read that - choking hazard dontcha know.
2) I wasn't a regular reader back when you pulled a PirateCat. Or did he pull an el-remmen? Or did both of you pull an Old One... or... sheesh... too many of you good writers have done the 'mysterious absence' thingy to know who started it!

Actually, I went and looked back and found the break was actually only four or five months, not eight. . . It seemed longer in hindsight.
