the Kyri Chronicles - last updated 22 Oct

[Plane Sailing]

The Mindflayer threat from the Far Realms. Evidence has been pieced together from old religious tomes, from the sages of Cadlan and from recent threats (Speaker in Dreams, the Door in the Air) that the dread Mindflayers, thought destroyed when mighty Asura came and cleansed the world of Kyri and threw down the god Cthulhu, are still active. Worse, they want their world back. Even worse, they are not based on this plane of existence but live on some other plane, probably in the Far Realms, and they astrally project into this reality. This makes them impossible to slay here.

Who will be able to learn how to take the fight to other planes in order to secure the safety of the world?

Woah. Who said adventurer is an easy job? Loot and wenches, they said...

PC reporting in.....

Greetings from Trajan.

I've spent far too much time in the last couple of days catching up with the past postings on this game. Keen-eyed readers will have noticed that I have rather taken to playing below average Wisdom, and will have to moderate my "youthful enthusiasm" now my Wisdom is up from 8 to 12.

Looking forward to playing the next instalment.

BTW, for some extra background, Trajan is a little unconfortable with Anne-Marie's professed love for him (and has not reciprocated), and is seriously worried about her new-found "interest" in the Illithid Threat. He thinks she is but a short step from becoming dangerously single-minded with potential party-splitting possibilities.
More insights into Trajan's psyche later.

Hehehehehehehehehehehe!

If I were a good friend of Trajan, I'd tell him some things about women and ... oops

He's finding everything out the hard way.

1: The first girl to profess her love to him (and mean it) is turning psycho-nutter, and goes with other men - very unsettling for a young Jazumai out of the mountains.
2: The first high-born woman who seems interested (Countess Naomi) only wanted him so she could humiliate him in public. Thankfully this was avoided more by luck than judgement - Trajan was very happy to go along with whatever she wanted to do.
And 3: Once you get past the muscles and Charisma (much the same thing for some girls ) there is only devotion to Asura and the desire to vanquish Evil. Not particularly appealing for any girl not just after a good time.

*sigh* - I guess he's just destined to be single.

Hi RobberBaron/Trajan... Great to see you posting here (and reading it) at last. I'll try to get a little bit more up to date (checks watch)

(checks calendar)

PS - don't think for a moment that I haven't recognised Usagi Yojimbo in your little icon!

Cheers

Yep, the fiercest of rabbit Samurai.
My Hero!

Now we know how Trajan would love to be...

 

[robberbaron]

Without the long ears, though.

Gosh, a couple of months go past with no updates soooo quickly. My excuse is that I'm waiting for the imminent arrival of my second child (any day now...)

But to let you know what is ahead, we have venturing into the crater ridge mines, green slime problems, riding ore carts, fighting a green dragon, assaulting a guardhouse. There are new characters and more deaths coming up...

Watch this space!
