FWIW you know Sigrún's going to be entirely happy with you chucking us into combat right? :roll:

I am glad I could provide. It seemed to me a logical step, given Karcsi's background.

Hope your not gnawing your teeth. :biggrin:

Nah! Gnashing them a bit, but no gnawing. :D

I guess I'm just giving you folks an alternate theory of jump space, the ancients, psionics, an so on. ;)

I must say that that was one of the very better sequences of play that I have experienced! Thank you very much for that Eris, I am privileged to be a part of this game.

Thank you. I have had some of this in mind, as GM knowledge, for a while, but had no idea it would show up...in any form...in game. It is a delicate line between being too plain and giving you too much, and being too cryptic for you to understand any of it. I hope I walked that line. ;)

Thanks. doing scenes like these eats up my time a lot more than "You walk into a bar and a bottle barely misses your head! 'Get dem Squids!' shouts the gorilla of a man" and reacting to what you do. We haven't had a bar-room brawl yet in this game, I tried but nobody wanted to go to the dive bar back on Jenghe! :cry: So, I have to get my fun the hard way! :twisted:
