Ah, Ruddigore. Or Pirates. Take your pick.

I definitely had Ruddigore in mind -- I didn't realise that there was a practice of sticking this number into Pirates as well.

(Actually, I've grown quite fond of several numbers from The Gondoliers lately, but it doesn't really suit this Story Hour. Now if the Defenders ever get back to Eversink... )

Yeah. In the movie version of Pirates, starring Kevin Klein, Rex Smith, Angela Landsbury and Gawd help us, Linda Ronstandt, they steal this number, and even make a tongue in cheek reference to it. If you haven't rented this, do. Klein is fabulous as the Pirate King, and Smith is just right as Frederick, which means he's an insuffurable prig, thicker than a brick and a tenor (same thing!).

Hey! I'm a tenor! I protest!
Oh, wait, you got me pegged, actually. Sorry, go on, you were right the first time.

But... I thought Nolin was a tenor?

Yep, he is. But Nolin is based on an old friend of mine who's a tenor, and I mock him mercilessly about it. I'm an alto, so I speak from generations of tenor bitterness.

 

[Plane Sailing]

Dranko kneels down by the largest piece of Step’s body, and gently closes the eyes with his hand.

“Step, I’m so sorry. May Kemma bless you and guide you home.”

Just wanted to say that I loved this unexpected show of tenderness from Dranko - such a change from his normal outward disrespectful personality.

I also love the, dare I say "realism" of Step agonising about his position and actions, trying to come to terms with it and ultimately almost seeking his death by throwing himself into danger.

(although I have to ask why Grey Wolf never got around to creating a magical horse for his battles again, especially after it worked so well the first time!)

Cheers

Just polished off the website entries; I like the story so far. Thanks for posting it.

At the beginning of the thread, things gt a little odd: the numbering skips by 10 installments, and it looks like #140 has been accidentally deleted. Any chance someone still has that text?

Thanks again for the entertaining read.

The part numbers in the Story Hour posts from Sagiro don't exactly match the session numbers in the actual campaign as shown on the website, but a quick comparison will show that there's no text missing from the start of this thread. However, you're right that part #140 (which corresponds to run #130) is missing from this thread for some reason. It must have been accidentally deleted when the thread was pruned of extraneous stuff at some time in the past.

However, all is not lost... In my fanboyish devotion to this Story Hour , I have created a website containing PDF versions of all the run summaries (except for the most recent sessions -- I'll get to those at some point...) together with the relevant discussion from these boards. Click on the "Sagiro's Collected Story Hour" link below to see it. You'll find run #130 near the end of Chapter 7. Enjoy!
