Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men... Subject: deep conversation...
As Rae finishes her food, she pauses a moment, "Does that mean that we've all arrived here only today?" she asks of Davena.
For several moments, the query goes unnoticed; the blonde woman is deep in conversation (and even deeper glances) with Danon. Garn the bodyguard clears his throat audibly; when Davena glances up, he cuts his eyes meaningfully at Rae. The woman visibly blushes as she realizes that she is ignoring the table conversation.
"Er, ahem, I mean..." she stammers for a moment, obviously flustered. Tearing her gaze away from Danon, she fixes it on the shield maiden. "Indeed," she answers, "we had been seated only a few minutes before you and your companions. Our journey is east, toward Tenimere and some commercial concerns there."
Davena straightens, picks at her food a bit, and takes part in the small talk... though soon enough, her attention is once again focused on the priest of Merca, where she seems to very nearly hang on his every word. Garn, for his part, seems none too happy about the development (judging by the scowl on his face).

I get busy; I'm happy to accommodate you as long as you are, indeed, interested in playing. I'm quite pleased to see a post!

Topic: Zombies in Chicago: Chapter 2 Recruitment Subject: so...
...I'm managing to keep "Hidden Evil" up and running. Granted, the post rate is slow there, but I'm finding myself here on the Inn multiple times per day as I anxiously await posts.
So, maybe I can return to this white whale.
Thoughts?

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men - Q&A Subject: where my head is at...
We started this game back up in late January. I do want to be patient; after all, we took a year off.
However, we can't go on with players who don't post.
I view Eol Fefalas and Reralae as true "who's who" of players; they are the kind of people who are welcome in any game that I might ever run. That said, if they cant play, they can't play.
Again, Eol says that he will post tomorrow, and I'm happy to hold off.
However, if I don't have a post (or at least some communication) by the end of this weekend, I will either recruit replacement(s) or write the role(s) out.

Eol contacted me to promise a post tomorrow night, and I'm holding out hope for Reralae... though I haven't heard from her in some time.
Has anyone else?

Just heard from Brundel via PM; Blair has nothing to add at this point.

I would expect Ena to be a possible seeker of knowledge, but Vanadia has not posted. Jarenion would be another good choice, but Eol is totally MIA, as is Reralae (and sadly her paladin). Blair might be a possibility.
The other three have good in game reasons to not be asking around, so that's fine. It's not necessary that you guys do so, of course.

Are any of you planning to do the "ask questions of the locals/bartender/other travelers" bit? If so, let's have those posts... otherwise, I can push the plot forward.

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again Subject: weathering the storm
Arien had been prepared for ambush, but the knight had not expected the sheer numbers they were facing. The swarm of javelins looked impressive enough, but Arien knew well that save the luck of the gods, such implements were as much threat as so many gnats to his own person.
Still, though, the wererats massed to attack; while they so far seemed to be so much chaff to the scythe of the companions, they would certainly cause at lease some attrition. Best to finish these off as quickly as possible Arien mused.
"Casters!" he cried as he moved to a defensive position with the other frontline fighters. "Artillery would be appreciated!"
Flaming sword and enchanted shield in hand, Arien braced for the rush of the wererats.
Let them come.

Love the ideas. Dude, you need to be independently wealthy and able to tell stories for our amusement all the time.

I put up a short post to address the concerns of Galardil and Danon.
I am assuming that, at some point, you guys intend to obtain one or more rooms for the night. I do not know if you plan to try speaking to the locals about the events of the road (or anything else).
Please let me know how you plan to proceed.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men... Subject: conversations
Galardil employs his mushrooms and enters his altered mental state. His unfocused stare earns an arched eyebrow from the man at the table, though he says nothing about it.
Meanwhile, the priest reaches out with his spell to detect magic. There is little to report; then inn itself seems quite devoid of magic, though two nearby items do resonate slightly. One is a knife on the leather-wearing man's belt - it bears a slight reading of alteration magic, similar to that often seen to enhance the cutting abilities of magical weapons.
The second belongs to the woman at your table; her pendant also bears a minor magical signature, though the exact nature of it is not apparent, as the vibration is quite weak.
When Danon speaks his piece, the woman shifts in her seat, and her body language changes. "A servant of the Justicar, then?" she asks. "How fascinating. Which faction do you identify with, if you don't mind my asking?" she leans forward in interest, briefly placing her hand on top of the priest's.
A frown from her companion draws a glare from the woman. "Ah, but forgive me," she adds, sitting up straight, "I am Davena, and my bodyguard here is Garn. Alas, Garn does not share my interest in the spiritual realm; what he finds tedious, I find fascinating." Davena brushes a golden lock back behind her ear, and fixes her gaze on Danon directly, all but ignoring the rest of you.
"So tell me, brother Danon... how long have you been in Merca's service?" she asks.
Meanwhile, the conversation level in the common room seems to have returned to more of a normal level; the locals barely seem to remember that you are there, now. The serving wench returns to check for any additional requests, notices Danon and Davena in deep conversation, and gives a sly smile and a wink as she leaves.

I figured that I might as well go ahead and post replies from the other travelers, so as to hopefully keep things moving.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men... Subject: small talk
As Blair moves closer, the pair leans in obligingly. They listen to the descriptions given by Blair and En'Arenthea without comment. The woman gives the briefest of sideways glances at her companion, whose mouth tightens into ever so slight of a frown, before she tucks a stray strand of hair behind her ear and answers.
"Indeed," she speaks, "we encountered no such monsters to the west. Though," she admits, "we did hear odd footfalls more than once - not the normal sounds of the road, you understand."
Blair submits his question and offers his opinion.
"Does this village not seem strange to you? It is unlike most other villages of its kind, it feels uninviting and wary of outsiders."
The man seems content to allow the woman to do the talking, and she obliges. "I do not know that I would call it 'strange', sir," she replies. "It is a foul night, what with this almost... evil fog hanging close by. And then, a troupe of armed strangers emerges from it? No," she pauses for a moment, "I don't find it so unusual. At least they did let us in."

Though I'm not sure anybody offered to make us invisible. Obviously, I don't intend for Arien to run into the cloudkill. I'd like him to proceed cautiously, though he of course loves the charge if indicated.
