"I said: 'Fairly quiet.' The commander hanged one from a tree at the crossroads two months ago. Such a gesture sends a powerful message.”
Vecchio ponders Bastian’s words, then says: “Your group was debriefed before being permitted to enter the village, so the commander has the story. I shall suggest that a squad be sent out to the site, to search for any sign of your monsters. You can go along to show them the way.”

"As you wish. I would like to take another from my traveling companions as well. She has proven her worth with a sword and has a better memory for military happenings than myself."

Awwww. Bastian said "yes" too fast. I was hoping to have to convince him, like Burke and Gorman did with Ripley in Aliens. "You wouldn't be going in with the troops. I can guarantee your safety."

[Jenara]

Is he talking about Angel?

[Tempest]

Ha ha! I found some internetz!

Hi guys, sorry I vanished again. I'm on an epic vacation down in southern China. I'll be floating around a large tropical island until the 21st. After that, I'll be back home

Back from the Pennsic War.
Monday was the Town battle - three battles to control a town made up of hay-bale buildings, fought to the last man
Tuesday was the Bridge battle - five fifteen-minute battles for control of five bridges, after which I fought in a memorial/charity tourney for a friend of mine who died last month.
Wednesday I had off - Champions battles and such.
Thursday was the woods battle - capture the flags for two hours, in thick woods, with unlimited resurrections.
Friday was the Field Battle - five fifteen-minute open field battles to the last man.

The weather was not great - we had some brief but violent storms on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, with hot days in between. It dampened the evening party atmosphere somewhat, but didn't interfere with the fighting.

I made it through this year without a scratch, although I was plagued every day by heat and dehydration - this is the first time I ever came close to dropping from the heat, but I soldiered on and lived on water and gatorade.

So, now I am back and ready to brush the dust off this thing. I'll post tomerrow or Tuesday to get things rolling.

Another small war this weekend - Friday night after dinner was a torchlight tournament - pretty much pitch black outside but for the light of four tiki torches. I took second place in a group of eleven fighters and lost to the King of Acre 2-1 in the best-of-three finals. It was amazing fighting in the dark - it really changes how you perceive thefight. Saturday was a scenario featuring four resurrection battles through wooded terrain and a final battle on an open field.
The fighting was pretty much continuous for four hours, with only short breaks between - just long enough to walk, in armor, from one battleground to the next. I am so tired and sore right now.

In other news, we have another new player coming aboard. Everyone welcome Chris, aka "Headshot."

[Jenara]

Fun!

And welcome Chris.

My children bought themselves toy/exercise swords made of beech wood during the summer. They already managed to split one. I guess once they reach minimum age to join the reenactor group here, they will join. At least my son will. I stay on the periphery, providing costumes.

In November, I will be able to rejoin the historical dance group for a day, and I'm very much looking forward to it.


And welcome Headshot/Chris. Hope we will have a great time together!

[Headshot]

Hello all,

Glad to be aboard. It's nice to see the old rules still being played, and don't worry about the name Headshot. I have my share of 1's as I do 20's I've been playing DnD for a long time now, and its nice to see people still playing it as ADnD. My real name is Chris, I live in New Jersey. I like cold nights, and long walks off of short piers I have a love of playing Clerics and/or Thieves. I will post as often as I can but I do work overnights and not really a night person so I don't always get on the computer but will endeavor to help keep the game "a-rolling"

[Jenara]

Greetings, I'm Jen's Partner. Welcome to the game.

[Headshot]

Been trying to read up on whats happened so far, how many people do we have still playing? and not sure where the story is at currently? Still doing the Lich story line or have you moved on.

[Jenara]

I need to update the story so far. And I'll move the old pcs to a "old PC's" thread!

If thats ok with you Stik?

The body was taken, one of the pc's were killed.

We are resting before what happens next..

[Stik]

Thanks, Jen, for the pending update.

Headshot, Papa is in the Blue Bolt tavern. Please join the main thread when the appropriate time comes. You'll know when.

BTW: Do I need to open a side thread for Angel and Liri?
