Topic: The Death of the Inn?
Subject: A Revival, or the story of an Inn that refused to die?
Well damn. I guess this means I'll have to come back.  Not that I was ever really gone. Not sure it would be possible for me to run a game again, but perhaps, just perhaps, it would be possible for me to play in one again.... Oh, I would like that. I would like that a lot.
I already said some, quoting Olan: "eloquent words" on Facebook, so I will not repeat myself. I'll be short and to the point this time.
I love the Inn. I love my fellow staff members. I love all the Innmates we have, the games, the chat, the other forums, the emoticons. I love the way the site looks even if it hasn't really evolved in many years. Who cares? It looks and works and smells just like it should. It's home.
And I'm with Brom on this one. Let's keep it the Inn alive! Let's give it a push and breathe new life into it! Let's return the Red Dragon Inn to the greatness it used to be. Let's... Let's... Let us come back home and play!

A nice review again and once more I have to agree with Olan. I looking forward to getting my hands on the box myself and for that price, it's a bargain.

If I remember right, the 3rd Ed. Players Guide to Faerun has a chapter about Epic levels. And Epic levels in 3-3.5 edition is anything beyond level 20, right?

Sounds really good, but unfortunately it seems fate had other ideas for me and the next few weeks or even months will be extremely busy in RL.
I'm happy to see you've got great players joining your game and you can make it happen without me too. I'll be sure to lurk around and do some reading though. Star Wars is always such good fun.

Hey there! I might be interested in joining. But a few questions first, if you don't mind.
What type of characters are you looking for?
What's the posting frequency?
What level?

Can't say it really comes as a surprise to see a post like this as the Inn has been a second home for me for the last… what? 13-14 years? (Geesh, I'm old!) But it still warmed the heart of this grey-bearded Finn very much to read your wonderful, warm words as a staff member and as a fellow Innmate.
Thanks for your kindness and input in the forums and just being part of our fabulous online family!

Topic: Starting a game maybey
Subject: Hiya
Hey there Padre!
Just thought I'd stop by to say hello and give you my double thumbs up for starting a new game. It's great to have new people at the site and especially active ones. I'll be sure to lurk around and have a read whenever I can.
And I'm happy to notice Ayrn stepping up again and joining your game. To me he's like the godfather of the Inn, always willing to help everyone out. (though in all honesty, most of our Innmates are too) In any case it's great to have veterans like him and Kamina in your first RDI game helping you out even though it is naturally your game and you call the shots.
Once again, good to have you and game on!

Topic: Treasure Seekers
Subject: Death to the orcs!
Holding his bow steady, but not drawing it yet, Damar observed his fellow Seekers launch to action. The group had been working together before and he was anxious to see how well their skills and abilities were matched. Some of the group did not seem too experienced either in combat or adventuring, but the elf knew better than to judge a book by its cover. They might surprise him yet.
… and they did. The young sorcerer, Areldor, pulled out a magic wand and aimed it at the mighty birds. It seemed so futile. The half-elf looked so small compared to the Rocs and their riders and the little stick in his hand was like a toy from children's game. But the attackers quickly learned the truth as did the elven ranger who had stopped to observe the situation. It wasn't the first time he'd heard of such magical weapons and not even the first time he'd seen one in use. But despite having heard the story of the group's previous trip and how the "fire stick" had been used against the pirate ship, Damar was still surprised to such power in the hands of the young half-elf.
And to see such power wielded with such precision. It took three shots to drop three Rocs. The gigantic birds fell like the rocks they'd carried from the sky and hit the waters with a great splash. Watching the third Roc plummet from the sky, the silvery-haired elf fully expected the illusionist to kill the last one as well, but as the surprisingly loud fizzling sound caught his ears, he found himself staring at first Areldor and then the Roc in disbelief.
Damar quickly pulled himself together though and brought his bow back up and took aim. He heard the human shaman call out in anger and claimed the right to personally kill the orc. The ranger didn't mind giving Tohmas the chance to shoot the rider down, but he knew that if the shaman missed their ship might be in peril. Therefore, even as the enchanted bow let out its blood-freezing promise, Damar held his bow at the ready and followed the movements of the Roc carefully. Should the slaying arrow miss its target, he would release an arrow of his own in turn.

2014. 2014? 2014!!!
Geesh! Where did 10+ years suddenly go? It's not so long ago we were wondering what Y2K would do to our computer systems... 2014...
In any case, may this one be better than the last for us all even if it was a good one!

Topic: Treasure Seekers
Subject: A post finally
The trip from Heristat to Orgstall had passed surprisingly peacefully or so at least Damar thought. Sure there had been a terrible rain and unkindly windy conditions that had thrown the ship this way and that enough to cause stomach of the elf to do likewise. He was no stranger to sailing and had endured bad weather at sea before, but still the change from the solid ground under his feet to the constantly moving deck of the ship was too much to take without any ill-effects.
The wondrous and terribly beautiful whirlpool in the middle of the Shenal had drawn the ranger's attention. And without any sailing skills, he had known they had all been very close to to losing their lives. Had the crew and the captain of the Toothless Dragon been any less experienced and skilled, the ship would certainly have been sucked into its destruction in the depths of the sea.
However the battle between the barbarians and the giants had not been quite as interesting as the phenomenon of nature. During his decades and especially the last century, Damar had seen his share of both even if not fighting against each other. The screams and howls of dying warriors and monsters didn't touch him much. While the elven noble did not take pleasure in the death of anyone (unless it was accounted for or deserved), the outcome of the ongoing fight was something he could not influence in any way.
But all in all, it had been peaceful. There had been no attacks by monsters or pirates and although danger had been present through it all, they had been lucky enough not to lose anyone. The crew of Captain Crayfish knew how to take the most out of the times when the churning sea or the pouring rain was not keeping them busy. There was merriment in the way of singing, feasting and dancing. But even though he could really appreciate the effort, Damar kept to himself most of the time. He did not shy away from conversation with anyone and helped out whenever he could and it was needed. But not once did he share any stories of his past unless it was clearly not of personal kind. It was not due to him being an impolite or untrusting character. Damar kept to himself as he didn't wish to become attached to anyone. In his life he'd lost so many acquaintances, friends and even close relatives. Too many. Being on his own was simply for protection. His. He did not wish to feel the loss, the despair, the powerlessness to help. Losing an associate hurt much less than losing a friend…
"Orcs on Rocs!" Came the call as they neared the besieged city of Orgstall. Rocs?, thought the elf. Now that's something new. He'd definitely read and heard a lot about the gigantic birds and their terrible strength, but this was the first time he would see one, let alone four, alive. A combination of fear and excitement ran like a wave through his body as he calmly picked up his bow and began stringing it. Orcs… Orcs he had fought and killed before. The lives of orcs he would not shed a tear for. The ranger had a feeling his tiny arrows would be of little use against the mighty animals the orcs were riding, but perhaps dropping the riders would be enough to turn them away.
OOC: Sorry guys for the long silence. But I've finally managed to put down a few words for a quick unedited post. More to come later.
