Happy birthday, WSL!

Man, I should have introduced you guys to Capellan while you were in Boston. *smacks hand to forehead*

 

[Angcuru]

Oh, snap.

 

[Arkhandus]

Yeah, happy (belated?) birthday!

It's great reading about you folks' adventures. Thanks for the stories.

Not belated at all. My birthday was today, I graduated a couple of weeks ago, and I start my new job on the 25th. Add in our recent trip to Boston and things have been busy. We still have time to game, though!

PC, we'll just have to meet Capellan next time we visit. Call it added incentive.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone.

And double thanks to Spyscribe, who consistently writes wonderful storyhour, even when it isn't anyone's birthday.

Well, then, make that a double (triple?) congrats.

I discovered this story three days ago and have spent three days wondering why I didn't find it sooner. Excellent stuff.

spyscribe, you're a good writer. How far behind the game are you?

Fajitas, I found your adaptation of Totentaz very interesting because we seem to have had the same reaction to the published adventure: great atmosphere but a weak villian behind it.

Pfew! You've done some serious reading in the last three days. Glad you're enjoying the story.

The last update began the session that was originally played 2-15-04. So, we're running a little less than a year and a half (or approximately two levels) behind. However, when you consider that the gap started at 16 months with the first post and at not too long ago had ballooned up to 23, this feels positively contemporary!

I'm a quick reader. And my programs have taken longer to compile this week

I can imagine trying to reconstruct a session from two years ago. Heck, my group has trouble a month later.

Not that I should be nitpicking, but didn't the dwarven sorceror on the barge say he had set his father's beard on fire?

Spyscribe takes impeccable notes. Also, she has freakishly good mental recall. Seriously, she quotes me things that I said off-handedly years ago and had no idea I'd ever said with alarming regularity. It's kinda creepy, but she's pretty durn good at it.

While it's not possible to create fire via arcane magic, arcane electricity can start fires if it contacts flammable materials. Fire doesn't really rain from the sky, but a lightning bolt can set a tree on fire. That's what happened to Evor's father's beard: it was a shocking grasp accident.

Glad you liked the "Totentanz" adaptation. Good to have you with us.
