[QUOTE="StevenAC, post: 4493281, member: 12319"] A slight continuity glitch here -- the original notes (see session #86 in Part One of the collected Story Hour) stated that the potion would turn Dafron purple, not blue. But "Lord Purpleface" would have just sounded silly, of course. ;) Sagiro, I remain in awe of your ability to bring back old plot threads and integrate them into the current story without any hint of railroading. In this installment alone, we have three old threads coming back into focus in an entirely natural and believable way. Firstly, there's Lord Dafron being behind the current assassination attempts on the party. Then, that mysterious warning from the Crosser's Maze to Aravis about Parthol's simulacrum (session #121 of Part One) is now revealed as coming from the part of Aravis left behind in the Maze when he gave it up. (Interestingly, something along these lines was speculated by various people at the time.) Finally, and most satisfying of all, the solution to the mystery of Grawly and Thewana is revealed, [I]and[/I] it explains what's happened to Tor as well -- just brilliant! Although I suspect that in this line, you meant Aravis rather than Kibi......since Kibi took part in the battle with Davarian, and certainly knew Thewana. It sent me thinking back to that confrontation with Solomea in the Crosser's Maze (session #109), where the party were given a list of eight questions, from which they could pick one to be answered: In the event, the party chose to ask for the answer to question #8, which alerted them to the threat from Parthol Runecarver. But in each of the other cases (except for #1, which I don't think has been answered at all, and #4, where we have some clues, but not yet a full answer), it's possible to see how, had the party chosen that question at this pivotal moment, they would have received information that would have sent the story off in a different, but equally satisfying direction. A really masterful piece of plotting. On another note, the Collected Story Hour site has finally been updated with the latest chapter of the Company's adventures. This is Chapter 1 of Part Three -- I decided (with Sagiro's approval) that the Company's return to Tal Hae after restoring their proper timeline was a good point to mark a second major division in the story. I've slightly reworked the formatting of the end of Part Two so that it reaches a natural stopping point, so anyone who's previously downloaded that last chapter (Chapter 9 of Part Two) may want to grab it again for completeness' sake.
