A happy Winter Solstice Holiday to one and all! For me and mine, that's Christmas, but I wish happy holidays to one and all no matter your choice of holiday! With a hope good cheer, peace on Earth, and goodwill toward all men...and women, too...here's to a better 2024 for us all! Thanks! Merry Chri...

Carinniel is quiet for now, enjoying her meal.

Vesper Present, sir. Great to see you all! We're still missing Greg (Malcolm) and Bob (Carinniel). I hope they appear soon. :) I've added a Thread in Game Resources called Quests where the quests your party has take on are recorded. It's locked, but I'll update it if I have something wrong and when...

You get shrugs and they look at each other, "No." is the general consensus. However, before you leave them one says, "If you get beyond the hills yonder, the forest begins to thin out and more clearings appear between the stands of trees. That might be your best bet, one of the small...

[ "I hope you won't mind us keeping an eye on strangers to the Village, will you?' says Makewise then adds with a chuckle, "Not planning to lock you up or anything." "Keep an eye on us as much as you feel is necessary," says Maeva with a nice smile. "Your being careful...

"Who are you and what brings you down the Digalow path to our Valley?" "Well my dear fellow, I am Malbec just up from the south, and heading north and the river city south of you told us of your village and we thought we would like to see it, drink a beer or two and spend a coin or t...

Yes, press on. That's 3 of 4 and I doubt JR doesn't say press on. :) So, press on we shall! I didn't have notifications set for this thread. Sorry 'bout that... :oops: Aislin keeps her bow pointed downward while the others talk. Maeva approaches with none of her weapons made ready, to make it very ...

Malbek would tell the truth, but tell them that it appears to be a group attacking out of desperation instead of a military action. "I for one would like to push on and meet the little folk, if that's alright? Malbek "I would like to try to make the village before dark too, Malbek..."...

Wishing the townsfolk good fortune you all head out the eastern gate (0003 The Trail and Trials) along the dirt path that leads into the woods. Aislin stays in the middle of the group, letting the more martial-minded folk take the lead. Maeva keeps roughly in the middle too, but keeps an eye out fo...

Hermundr brushes past Aislin and Maeve and rushes down the stairs joining Malbek. The two step through the broken door and into the dark streets outside. Looking right they see a wooden building next to the river, burning. Looking to their left they see a small group of figures rushing toward the d...

OOC: Aislin and Hermundr are behind Malbek and Maeve, further up the stairs where they really can't see much. Aislin moves down the stairs, looking for a shot on the orcs below. Aislin and Maeve move down to the landing next to Malbek, flanking him. They both have open shots at the Orc's below, fir...

Malbek's hammer crashes down on the Orc's unprotected head with a cracking sound and the monster staggers back and falls down the stairs into two more creatures that were trying to climb up behind him. If the Orc Malbek hit isn't dead it, at least, isn't moving! Maeve crowds up against Malbek as sh...

Aislin rolls out of her bed and grabs up her bow and her quiver. She slings the quiver over her shoulder and quickly strings her bow with a practiced motion. Then, she nocks an arrow, grasping it with her left forefinger to hold it in place against the bow stave. Malbek grabs his hammer and sling a...

The party goes to bed and falls asleep, but a few hours later in the early morning hours they are awakened by shouts and crashes! Glancing at the window they see flames coming from a building near the docks, but of more concern there are shouts and screams coming from downstairs! OOC: What do you d...

You don't learn much else about the area, some rumors of "walking trees deep in the wood" and some Lizardmen having moved into a swamp next to the river between Berm and Old Bridge, oh and a tribe of Barbarians was seen on the west bank traveling south...they didn't seem unfriendly, but y...

"Old Bridge is a town, a little bigger than us." says one of the locals, "It's called Old Bridge, because there used to be a bridge that went across the Dragon River there once upon a time." "Yeah, it went from the west bank to the island in the river and from there to the ...

The ale is not watered down, thick and strong. The food is basic, a stew with potatoes, carrots and shredded chicken in a rich brown sauce. There are loaves of fresh sour bread to act as trenchers and to mop up the sauce as you eat. Maeva smiles a little as she takes her first big sip of her ale, p...

"Okay, then, food and drink now, or do you want to take your gear up to the room first?" [/dialog]she asks as she takes the money and drops it into her pouch which she pulls from inside her dress and then puts back inside. "Given you are apt to get busy I will drop off my gear in the...

"I think I'll try their ale too," Maeva says as she fastidiously tries to neaten up her somewhat tousled hair. "Local brews are often quite tasty."

Aislin follows, but she drifts over and nudges Maeva with her elbow. "See? We get one more night out of the rain, and on a real bed."

She shoots Aislin a big grin. "I am *definitely* looking forward to that!"
