The Lurker's Tavern

[Bhart]

A place to discuss the game and take bets on who will die first.

[Argennian]

Ok, I'll bet anyone here that I can die quicker then they can!


Oh yeah, go Alpha Team & Bravo Team!!

[tkrexx]

I'll bet I don't die first....Ah, the advantages of being on the waiting list.

[Bhart]

Hmm what should we wager?

Perhaps xp or magic items?

Good point, man!

Magic items?!?!

I'd rather give up some xp, especially since I can afford to forfeit quite a bit from my cleric/thief before he loses a level in either! Damn, and I was just thinking bragging rights...

[AQuebman]

The prize could be Winner on the waiting list jumps in front of the line to the top spot

[AQuebman]

Actually I think Half of party 2 already died so we can't really take bets anymore.

Unfortunately you may have the right of it.
Dang module is so powerful it's killing folks during chargen!!

[Alethan]

We're just handicapping ourselves to be on par with Team 1.

The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead.
[a man puts a body on the cart]
Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one.
The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor.
The Dead Collector: I can't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round?
The Dead Collector: Thursday.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk.
Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right.

really...I'm not dead yet. Just slow.

Hey Ron, that's got to be a 1E Traveller shirt, yeah?


Speaking of potential waiting listers filling vacancies in either of the starting groups, could you move me and Halfarion to the back of the waiting list? Would especially like to see some of the newer members get first choice of magic items and a crack at it straight out the gate, if'n they're ready.

Okay, though last I checked (yesterday) Party 2 might need some help.

Hey Stirling!


I was Best Man in this fellow's wedding this past summer. His name is McLeod. Derned if he didn't borrow my waterskin for holding hooch that all the boys swilled from before the ceremony. I offered to also let him carry one of my swords, but he declined. And I swear he's part Elf.

[Alethan]

Love wearing a kilt...

[Bhart]

OK Party 1 is officially started!

Hopefully we will have Party 2 going this weekend.

So I'm taking bets. All active and waiting players are eligible for the following...

Name the first PC to die and you'll get a potion of Extra Healing.

In addition to their name, if you can guess the cause of death (e.g. poison, crushed, fall, impaled, etc.) you'll get a potion of your choice

[AQuebman]

This feels like Tomb of Horrors clue. If there's no negative to being wrong:

Fosco the thief - Impaled

[Dogma]

Rocks fall, everyone dies.

though is this case it's an actual feature of the dungeon, not just the DM getting frustrated and killing everyone

I'll go with Elsa, falling into a pit...

(while chasing after the cup of Christ...).

[Vargr1105]

I assume players can't vote on their own PC...

[ChubbyPixie]

I'll vote for you!
