I hope things ease up for you Charles, this game has been such a fun experience for me playing with all of you, if you ever want to start up again I'll ready to go! Thank you so much for putting on such a great game. it's been a true pleasure! Thanks again! Just FYI - the mods may move the game to ...

Thanks guys - much appreciated. See you around!

Hi guys, I hate to do this, but I think it's the right call. I think it's time to throw in the towel and put this game on ice... at least for awhile. I take full responsibility for the pace slowing down which I think has caused overall interest to wane. My work situation has been hellacious over the...

Thanks guys!

OOC: My thinking was that Xantius would be drawn towards the sphere, until he has placed both hands onto it, and (not sure if this is possible in the setting) channelled a bit of raw magical energy into it. He's an addict, and this is something too shiny to resist toying around with. Xantius begins...

Xantius OOC: I'd like to suggest this magic orb triggers Xantius's complication of "Addicted to Sorcery" as per the Complication rules on p14. This would upgrade my Luck die by one step, but gives Charles complete control of my character at some point... Like right now, maybe? ooc: So let...

So, I know I am starting to sound like a broken record, but sorry about the lag in posting from my side. I have just been struggling with the usual work, home, kids balance...

I am going to try one more time to tighten things up and carve out the needed time for posting.

Thanks for the patience...

Have fun and be safe!

The mage opens the door into a large, rectangular chamber. All eyes are immediately drawn to a huge glass (or crystal) sphere, perhaps 8-10 feet in diameter which rests on a low pedestal made of wood. The opaque sphere hums and buzzes, almost throbbing with magical energy. Nothing else can be seen i...

Xantius' rap on the door goes unanswered. And the mage notices no change in the slight humming coming from beyond the door.

The hairs on the back of his neck stand up as he can feel a strong wave of magic emanating from whatever lies beyond.

ooc: Actions?

Jasper sneaks quietly down the hallway towards the closed door. The rest of the party watch impatiently from the storeroom. When the rogue reaches his destination without incident, he examines the door carefully. Similar to the door to the storeroom, this one is made of oak reinforced with metal ban...

Jasper - Rogue Jasper stands by staring at Skavgurd for a moment, then realizes he's waiting on him to open the door. "Oh, oops, sorry! Alright, let's see what's behind here, shall we?" And assuming everyone is prepared, he opens the door, stepping back as he does so, giving everyone a cl...

Hey guys, we will have a brief hiatus. Xantius, Jayamanka, and the DM are all out traveling through Sunday. Let's wait until all are back to continue.

Hope that's ok with you all!

ooc: Ok, Haroun takes another swig and smiles. He counts about 10 more bottles of the stuff. You can take them, but it will be a bit of a load. There is no doubt it is a very special wine (assuming the other bottles contain the same). Normally Xantius or Jayamanka have led things. I will NPC Xantiu...

Bit crazy - last minute packing before I fly to the US for a week of vacation. Not sure how much I can write in the time, so please just carry on and I'll pick things up when I get back. Charles, if you want / need to make some rolls or do a bit of roleplay for Xantius, then please do. Hopefully yo...

Haroun takes a deep pull from the bottle. He grins widely as the wine warms his belly. Somehow after all these years the taste is still rich and the alcohol is definitely still present. Jayamanka notices the stiffness abates somewhat and she regains movement back in her arms and legs. (ooc: she can ...

Jayamanka The strange sigils on the door make Jayamanka uneasy. She tries to figure out what it is about them that unsettles her but she is finding it difficult to focus on anything other than resisting the paralysis. Got to keep moving. Got to keep fighting it, she urges herself. I'm not going to ...

The storeroom/chamber is about twenty foot by twenty foot. Along the righthand and far walls (opposite the entry hall) rest the wooden shelves and tables. Haroun and Jasper make their way over there to further investigate, while Xantius scans the rest of the chamber. The wall to the left is devoid o...

The door opens surprisingly easily. Light from the torches pours into a short hallway, which runs perhaps ten feet before entering a small chamber. Standing from the doorway the chamber appears to be a storeroom. Wooden shelves are filled with boxes and sacks of unknown contents. Haroun's eyes widen...

Xantius does not sense the door is magical. After closer examination of the sigils and symbols, he recognizes them from previous studies of ancient lore - a long forgotten language. He can only decipher a few of them... power, darkness, death... Once the mage gives the nod, Jasper inspects the door ...
