Ptolus: Midwood - "The Dark Waters of Moss Pond"

[Trench]

There's no way they could have been made to work under ENWorld's "Eric's grandma" standard.

Well phooey.

For those reading, Tock told a rather ribald rumor that the Constable lost his leg indulging in unwholsome appetites with dragons and dragonkin. Renraw also spread it at the stake-out, which resulted in Emmerson yelling at him, which then resulted in Hazel telling them to can it.

The rumor is a lie, of course, and just Tock's way of being a bastard.

(And how exactly are you going to handle Flower when he comes up then, Whiz?)

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Flower is about the least sexualized romantic interest ever. I don't imagine it'll be a problem. Anything anyone extrapolates on their side of the screen is strictly their own problem.

Heh. I thought the wait in the snow seemed a little truncated. It seemed to go on forever and a day at the time. Too bad, there was some great character exchanges in all that.

Hopefully all that stuff gets reinserted in the eventual "extended edition" PDF version. It really was pretty funny.

"They die now or when the Queen arrives, either way ..." another interjects.

Ha! That actually makes sense, now!

 

[bissichan]

Makes sense? What queen?

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Makes sense? What queen?

No comment.

The kobold leader looks at Renraw, baffled.

"You remember I speak Imperial, softskin?" She gestures with her pick. "Get on your knees and put hands on head. You try and cast a spell, we shoot you in face."

Still love this moment so much. It practically had me rolling on the floor when I first read it, and it still makes me chuckle even now. It's just such a perfect Renraw-as-Baltar moment.

 

[bissichan]

Emmerson really wanted to throttle Renraw. He kept thinking "Lawful Good. Lawful Good. Lawful Good."

 

[Tock Chandler]

That was some quality rumor-mongering.

To be fair, Tock believes the rumor completely.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Yes, Wormy's name is an homage to the great old Dragon comic strip and yes, his recruitment process was stolen from "Asterix the Legionary." They're both classics for a reason.
