[Closed] OOC Chat III

[Zorroroaster]

Yeah, but now he's all kinds of interesting.

[Keehnelf]

I was really wondering if there was something sinister in that map case.

Like a very thin leg?

[Zorroroaster]

Anthrax.

[Keehnelf]

Maybe that's what the duke was afraid of. "What's this white powd---grreggghhtrrk"

[Zhym]

"Say hello to my little friend."

[Zhym]

The Duke nods with a sidelong look at Tamerlin. "That's a good question--I'm not sure what else could be the case, but all signs point to us finding out soon enough. After what happened on Harrowing, I'm not taking any chances with being caught off guard by forces out of the North. Mercenaries will be here tomorrow and we'll start sorties against the hobgoblins in the east to find out the true strength of their operation."

I've forgotten—what happened on Harrowing? Or is this something we don't know about yet?

[Keehnelf]

Just light foreshadowing...

[Zorroroaster]

Lug looks at Varas with roughly the same expression he'd have if Varas coughed up four full-sized unicorns that proceeded to play poker.

"No."

Nice visual.

[Keehnelf]

Agreed. I literally LedOL.

[AleBelly]

Me too. I think I have a painting of that somewhere.

[Zhym]

I think they'd play Blind Man's Bluff by spearing the cards on their horns.

Well, then.

How to paint unicorns playing poker.

ETA: I didn't watch the whole video; I am SO sorry... this dude is the skeeviest. WTH?
My favorite non-sequitur - "Fact #3: Our old pal Kim Jun Un just found a secret den full of unicorns just this last year."

[AleBelly]

Who knew that was a thing?

[Zhym]

FYI, I'm going to be on vacation tomorrow through Sunday. I have no idea if I'll be able to post during that time, but if I do it'll be infrequent.

[Keehnelf]

Enjoy the time away!
