Re: B S (VIII)
Thanks everyone!
Our Christmas was pretty quiet. We stayed home and didn't gather with family for the first time........ever?
I know everyone has their own opinion about how to handle this damn pandemic, but the wife and I are simply trying to do our part in controlling the spread by staying home and staying safe, even if others in our family think we are going overboard with it.
As usual, with numerous things all happening at once in town again, my head is spinning around like a bad Hollywood exorcism. So, please nudge me if I missed something that you were trying to do. Thanks!

Re: B S (VIII)
A screwed up year for sure. You need to do what you feel is right, everyone is different. Staying home is a safe choice and good for many/most (it's what my wife and I did). But some need the support of friends and family more than others, hopefully they are still getting it, in person or otherwise.
Re: B S (VIII)
Not that you've missed anything, as I literally just sent the message, but as an extra heads up--I sent you a message in the private forum regarding Keyon's next action. Totally understand the head spinning thing.
Re: B S (VIII)
I've been watching the one season of 'Forged in Fire' on Netflix- I could literally watch craftsmen doing their thing for days. Any rate, there was a 'kill test' on a weapon called a Karambit.

I could easily see this as video of an expert thief or assassin practicing their trade.

Re: B S (VIII)
That's cool!
I started watching that show with great interest when it came out, and really dig the premise.
But sadly, like most shows these days, they had to go and jam it into the "reality tv" template, complete with a predictably annoying Jeff Probst style host and plenty of silly catch phrases from all the judges.
Great idea for a show, if you can stomach all the Hollywood nonsense they seem to thrive on for some reason.

Re: B S (VIII)
Agreed OM, the early ones were better. I stopped watching as well. I never watched much TV and even less now.
Re: B S (VIII)
The season running on Netflix is one of the more recent ones- and I agree, the judges can all be pretty annoying sometimes.
Here in Indiana, they have "1812 Rendezvous" at Tippecanoe Battleground every year. When I go, I wind up spending most of my time watching the blacksmith and the furniture maker.

Re: B S (VIII)
Happy New Year everyone!
New year's resolutions:
• Find a good place to re-settle the town and do it!
• Give those Stoneguts a lesson.
• Get to level up each of my characters one level and
• the most important one. The one that trumps all other resolutions by far: that my characters survive
I hope you had or are having a nice evening. Here it's 9.30am (January 1st). Not much of a party last night considering the current state of affairs.

Awesome!
Happy New Year everyone!
Finally a holiday I know we all share, no matter your location, religion, etc.
(We watched a weird movie and went to bed long before midnight. I dreamt about being on the beach.)

Happy New Year to all!
I tried to make it to midnight but ran out of energy and went to bed at 11:30. Woke up at 4 to find my two boys passed out on the sofa surrounded by popcorn, chips, candy and juice boxes, with Roblox videos playing on YouTube. The torch has passed to a new generation!

This one wins the *thinking outside the box* prize for today!Monsieur Rose wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 3:39 pm The Princess curses in a most unladylike way as the dwarf rider starts to wake. After her initial attempt to prod the beast forward produces less than adequate results, she changes to the carrot.
She pulls a piece of hard ration out and stabs it onto the end of her sword. After scooting forwards on the lizard, she extends the tip and rations out in front of the lizard, trying to get it to chase the meat.
If she's able, she will try to chase down the other lizard and ram it.

Re: B S (VIII)
To the Kegenstien Expedition's now scattered group:
Assuming that those that are with the natives now survive the combat with the sticky mummy, would you kindly wait for us in town so we can make a second expedition and try to get better intel on the territory beyond the river (given that we couldn't say that we've found suitable land to move the town yet) or would you rather do other stuff on your own?
Maybe some conversation with the townies in the meantime to keep them up to date is in order?
I don't know. Just throwing out ideas.

Re: B S (VIII)
For those interested, below are the spells Andron has researched to date.
The Psionitropic spells are based on a new school of magic that relies on what can be considered a new non-material spell component. The psionitropic matrix.
The whole idea was developed from his experience with a strange black void.
The Psionitropic Matrix
Voice of Rao (Enchantment/Charm)
Empathia Cogitatus (Psionitropic Divination)
Assay of Reason (Divination)
Telepolydactylus (Psionitropic Alteration)

Darklin will be in town a while so we can regroup. I will need to heal for a while.Karaunios wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 7:56 am To the Kegenstien Expedition's now scattered group:
