[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2957582, member: 35788"] Boolean - I am glad that you are indeed seeming to dig the code stuff. That is cool. I was thinking about hyphenation ... but the thought of throwing in a long word merely to make someone have to count 11 or 12 letters is simply too much to pass up! [Only because they asked for it, not because I am a particularily mean DM] The inscription need not be brand new. Perhaps this is an ancient battleground that the hill giants have held for ages because it is a ritualistic worship site for them. Being hill-giants, they ain't too bright ... so they never really figured out that it made sense to move or anything. They merely just keep defending it. The ancient dwarves were unable to ever truly breach the hill giant's defenses and to help the one who tried they built this tunnel. The tunnel is narrow so as to keep out giants, but just in case a giant did figure out a way to get in they put this code on the front assuming that no hill giant could figure it out. [That's not a particularily hard assumption to make]. Also, realize that I just made up this little bit of history as I typed this reply, so I am not saying this is the way that it is in actuality. I'm just saying it might be feasible to have the inscription be ancient. Okay, I ealize I am totally getting metagaming info here, but I'll admit you have my curiosity raised. And the metagaming part of me assumes that at some point we'll meet said character and at that point I'll have to beat all this metagaming stuff back down with a stick until it is no more. And I feel the need to ask ... is it because of an alignment issue - or the more intriguing answer in a monetary outlook. Or does she merely hate badgers? :p But I am definately looking forward to the RP. I've not yet had to play Rhaka in conflict. Rhaka and Val almost got there, but compromise came too quickly. I'd have liked to have seen that one blow up a bit more because Val and Rhaka are from such different worlds. Of course, that last game is metagaming speech as well, I realize. [/QUOTE]
