The Darkness That Comes Before [Closing Down]

[Erekose13]

BTW, Thomas Hobbes and flyingricepaddy, I decided to have Mahe and Folco join the party a little earlier. They are in the tavern now, please go ahead and post in the IC thread.

...and you three are destined to fight him.

Is that a typo?

There are more than three present (not counting Mahe and Folco, there are still five).

yeah i was wondering about that... although i figured it an accident so didn't mention it

Just thought I would let everyone know that this campaign has a bit of history. My first Pbp game I DM, I decided to run players through one of the WotC online adventures. It was designed as a one-shot adventure just to gain experience at pbp dming. After the adventure finished some of the players asked to continue. So I brought in some of the background from the novel I had been reading to turn it into a longer story. One by one they drifted away, many having left the boards due to RL concerns. In order to revive things I ran a re-recruiting pitch early this year and it filled back up quickly. I am not sure what happened because after a few weeks of posting only two players remained. Guess that it was largely my fault for not maintaining a high level of activity and story to the game, I dont really know. In any case I decided to give it another go, but rather than forcing new players to go and re-read all that had happened before I though I would re-cast it as a new adventure. So far things are looking good. This has been a rather round about way of explaining my typo earlier. See it was copied from the other game which had only 3 players plus another 1 playing Nalya.

It's really difficult to get Taneth envolved in this. Little help would be appriciated. Erekose? Somebody?

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Hmm. You may have hit on it already- Nihilism. "Nothing to lose, no idea where I'm going next, so I might as well...." It pretty much depends on how much you believe in prophecy. Any hint of Aryassa would also do the trick.

Sure how about a new lead in his search. I would imagine that he is looking for anyone in the group of wizards that his mentor belonged to. Perhaps word reached him only a week ago from one of the wizards, named Maelnyhm. Taneth had met Maelnyhm only a few times in his associations with Hanthas Taelryn and his grand-daughter. Maelnyhm was on elder practicioner of some of the more metaphysical aspects of arcana. He had been studying applications for the raw form of magic before it was forced into the runic or spoken form utilised by schoolmen and elvish warlocks alike. Maelnyhm has also been searching for members of their cabal saying that he needs assistance in his work. He said that he was working in a place called the Glimmerwood and has found you after all this time. He says that he remembers you from their few meetings and your eager mind is just what he needs to help him. Perhaps he has information about Aryassa's current whereabouts...

About this *-action-denoting-thing... Looks like it isn't really used consistently (even by yourself ).

Shouldn't we just stop using those?

I don't really see any point in using them (it's pretty obvious usually what is an action and what is not), anyways.

yeah dont worry about those, use em if you want, or dont its up to you. I swipped the posting rules from Isida cause I like the way her games flow, but as you said we arent really following them so which ever I dont mind.
