Topic: Gauging Interest for a Party of Avengers
Subject: Short Window of Opportunity
The Concensus seems to be to continue the adventure of the 'Leather Coats Avengers' with the addition of some new players!
I have already extended an invitation to Ody to pitch me one of his Gnomes (or create a new Gnome for this adventure ?????)
My consideration is for adding up to 3 new players (including the Ody Gnome) during a short window of opportunity that closes Wednesday Evening!
Read the Previous Pages of this recruitment (plus the Game Posts if you have the time) to decide whether or not you want in on this game!
I do realize that this is a short window of opportunity, but I know that players looking for a game usually check the Inn on a daily basis!
Post Your Interest Here!
Thank You

Topic: LC Avengers QnA
Subject: Possible Player Additions
I have sent Ody a PM inviting him to join us with one of his Gnome creations!
Originally, there were 5 character openings, including a Gnome Rogue/Assassin and a Half Orc Barbarian/Monk.
Our current players have requested the addition of one or 2 new players, so I have sent Ody a PM Invite to see if he would like to play with one of his Gnome creations ???
Interested Potential Players can click above on the Parent Thread 'Gauging Interest for a Party of Avengers' to get a better understanding of the background and character creation plus game system I am using.
Read the info and if interested in joining the adventure then PM with an inquiry and a character pitch for the next phase of our adventure!
We have been sporadic and unhurried with our posts, so there is No Guarantee as to how frequently we will be updating the adventure!
I finally had some free time today, after countless weeks of RL issues to deal with, so I typed up a post to wrap up the current adventure!
Have been undecided about continuing the LC Avengers adventure, but the current players would like to proceed, along with another new character or two!
We Shall See!

Previously in Leather Coats Avengers
As they made their way along the wagon trail, each LC Avenger recounted what had transpired earlier that morning, but the fate of the sword was not yet mentioned.
Toraad took up a position to the left of the front of the wagon, while Sir Cal chose to ride alongside the wagon to the right of Danamar, mustering up a plausible explanation as to what had happened to his prized sword during their brief battle against the Goblins.
If either Rex or Danamar had noticed the absence of his sword, neither said a word, much to the uncomfortable relief of Sir Cal; who was thankful that for all the teasing he had endured from Toraad, the Dwarf had not mentioned his embarrassment of the sword imbedded in the tree.
However, they were drawing near to where Sir Cal would have to mention the fact that he needed some help to retrieve his sword. In fact, it was just around the next bend in the wagon trail, that Sir Cal would have to speak up and swallow his pride, in favor of regaining his precious sword.
Time seemed to stand still for Sir Cal as they slowly rounded the bend, but before he was able to muster up the courage to admit that his sword was stuck in a tree, the adventurers were confronted by a roadblock that had not been in evidence earlier that morning.
There in their path stood what appeared to be an old gnarled tree, blocking the wagon trail, with no possible way around it.
Curiously, in its branches were not only the remains of Toraad's Javelins, but the precious sword of Sir Cal, that when last seen by the Dwarf and the Half Elf, had been deeply imbedded in a tree!
Rex pulled at the reins to stop the horses, as Danamar lightly touched the right shoulder of the Paladin/Wizard/Bard, before leaping from the wagon for a closer look.
Toraad and Sir Cal were completely befuddled at the odd sight of this out of place tree, clutching not only the remains of the Javelins, but the seemingly undamaged Sword that Sir Cal so desperately wanted to retrieve from the battle site.
Suddenly, the branches made a sweeping gesture, casting the weapons in the direction of the somewhat astonished LC Avengers!
"They be sticks he says!"
A Final Toast
City of Lasch
Dragon Claw Inn
Early Evening on Friday
March 30, 212awd (After Winter Dark)
There was standing room only at the Dragon Claw Inn as the patrons crowded together to get a final look at the former stranger who had become a 'family fixture' feature fan favorite, since fulfilling his employment with Fredrico and Lars Fortunato.
Rextugenous stood before the crowd with his hands upraised as they cheered his final appearance at the Dragon Claw Inn. A black handled Whip with a Raven insignia was clenched between his teeth as he worked the crowd into a cheering frenzy as he took center stage.
Rextugenous accomplished this by removing the handle from his mouth and rapidly cracking the length of the 15-foot range Whip in a circular motion over his head several times.
A Knife was sheathed on the outside of his left reddish tan colored boot and a Dagger was sheathed on the outside of his right boot.
A Throwing Axe hung from a loop on the left side of his tan leather coat and a Short Sword hung from another loop on the right side. No weapons were secreted inside his breeches or shirt underneath his leather coat, but a 12 inch Wooden Wand with a Raven insignia was secured in an inside pocket of his leather coat that rested over his heart.
Slung over his back was a quiver full of cross bow bolts, as was a Light Cross Bow. When necessary, there was room for his Whip to be secured in the quiver when he needed his hands to be free for whatever needed attending to.
Rextugenous began introducing each member of his 'Family' as the crowd roared their approval with each introduction:
"Baby is my Knife who is useful in many ways
Dinky is my Dagger who protects me and slays
Edge is my Throwing Axe who provides an edge when I have needs
Shorty is my Short Sword who cuts through evil deeds
Wanda is my Magic Wand who surprises enemies galore
Sweetie is my Light Cross Bow with her sweet surprise in store
Duke is my Whip who lashes quite a breeze
Family one and all who fight my enemies"
Rextugenous took a bow and demonstrated the prowess of each of his Family members without endangering any of the patrons who crowded inside the Dragon Claw Inn to witness the final drama of the beloved Bard.
He even took the time to allow the more inquisitive patrons to squeeze their way through the crowd for a closer look at his 'Family' and to actually respectfully touch one or more of them as Rextugenous cocked his head in such a way that his eye patch with the black Raven insignia seemed to stare right through the thoughts and intents of their souls.
His purpose was to survey the crowd and set most of the patrons at ease with his light hearted banter, because what he was about to do next would possibly unnerve even the bravest of men.
Rextugenous waved to the crowd as he took his place once more at center stage, gathering 4 familiar bags and laying them at his feet, before revealing the hidden contents for all to see.
They were the heads of the Leather Coats, now layered ceremoniously with Lime, that he had sworn to take into battle northward to Avenge the Leather Coats for their untimely demise!
Many in the crowd shuddered involuntarily as the Bard held each of the heads for all to see, then carefully laid them back to rest inside their individual bags of Lime.
"These be the heads of an unfortunate four
They who were friends are alive no more
Now they are Tathlum weapons as you can see
Projectiles to hurl at enemies they shall be
A Darkness stretches upon the land
Guided by some unseen hand
I made a promise and a decree
To help those in danger to remain free
Whatever evil and whatever dread
Will be confronted by each hurled head
I will carry them day and night
To join with me in one last fight
Against evil minions causing fear and fright
I will hurl them with all my might
They will journey with me to a northern land
Where forces for good must make a stand
To remove the taint of evil foes
To stand as lights where darkness grows
Those who heed this call may never return
To land and loved ones for whom they yearn
This journey may be hard and may be long
Filled with adventures one day set to song
You may stay or you may go
Armed for victory over dreadful foe
Choose this day to stay or ride
Who to fight with side by side
There are those who quake and fear
As evil draws closer and ever near
You must decide where to make a stand
Be it familiar ground or far away land
Where I go no one really knows
As I take the fight to unknown foes
Yet this one thing I know for sure
Good over evil must endure
So my 'Family' and I will do our part
As will others who are stout of heart"
A sobering hush fell across the crowd as the impact of his words drove home the seriousness of the situation that confronted the inhabitants of the City of Lasch.
For the past 3 weeks Rextugenous and his companions Danamar, Toraad and Sir Cal had recounted their adventures over countless tankards of ale to any and all who would dare gather to listen to their tales of adventure, for the price of a gold coin and free flowing Elven Ale.
The current 'crowd favorite' was the humorous recounting of their encounter with Treghnar the Treant, who had confronted the adventurers on their way back to the City of Lasch with the recovered wagon, filled with unknown treasure that the Halfling Dragons, Drog and Seg Kargar, had unsuccessfully tried to hijack a few weeks ago.
The reactions of Toraad and especially Sir Cal did not need much embellishment, as the Treant had thrown their weapons at their feet, with the now famous exclamation "They be sticks he says!"
Tense moments gave way to Danamar diplomatically explaining to the Treant the cause for the weapons, especially the sword stuck in the tree, before Treghnar hailed Rextugenous with the following message:
"There Be a Great Evil Spreading Like a Plague in the Region Once Protected by the Leather Coats Avengers!
I Hear the Wail of the Trees as Tormented Souls!
You Are Needed in the North Country ... Oh Leather Coat Avenger!"
Rextugenous let his words sink deep for a few moments more, then he lifted Duke out of his bolt quiver and cracked the Whip several times to break the somber mood of the crowd, lifting their spirits once more with a poem dedicated to his deity.
"Let me tell you of a maiden fair
Not a mortal and oh so rare
She imparts inner strength when I might yield
To stronger forces on the battle field
She inspires me in the battle fire
Her voice speaks to me as an angel choir
When the battle rages for far too long
I am blest to hear her victory song
When I seem to be succumbing to an evil might
I take courage at her sight
For as I fight inspired with battle poem
In the distance I see her roam
As I fight on she draws ever near
Assuring me there is nothing to fear
Brigit is such a lovely sight to behold
In the midst of battle she never grows old
No matter what danger there is to beware
Brigit my Brigit will fight with me there
No matter how weary my flesh or my bone
I know that my Brigit will not leave me alone"
Rextugenous bowed to one knee with his arms outstretched, signifying that his final performance at the Dragon Claw Inn had come to an encouraging conclusion, offering the patrons hope that his deity would watch over him and quite possibly allow him to one day return to the City of Lasch.
Spontaneous applause erupted as the Bard rose to his feet and waved to the crowd, drinking in their appreciation. He would remember the faces of each one, vowing inwardly to take the battle against the evil taint far from this place, in hopes that they would be able to defend themselves during his absence.
It was an awkward moment for the Bard, but he raised his arms once more towards the adoring crowd, then bowed once more as they cheered and called his name, before addressing them with these final words, before rejoining his friends at a private table.
"Now is the time for me to begin my journey north ... I thank one and all for your patronage ... tomorrow is the beginning of a new month ... and my 'Family' and I are needed elsewhere ... as are my companions in battle!
Roving bandits are an increasing threat ... Unknown Evil lurks to the north ... Rumors of sinister activity ... a taint of evil ... spreading from somewhere ... beyond the city of Lasch ... threaten the safety of peace loving people ... everywhere!
My companions have a stout heart for adventure ... we will travel north beyond the City of Lasch to oppose these threats ... the Fortunato wagons are secure ... and our bonus has been paid ... Now we will Avenge the Leather Coats!"
Rextugenous nodded to his companions in battle, who now sported two curiously carved rings, one on each of their hands, as did the Bard, from the Fortunato treasure wagon as had been promised.
Their pouches were also filled with several gold coins; plus a few choice emeralds, rubies and pearls that the Fortunato brothers had insisted were well earned for their part in delivering each of the 3 wagons safely to the City of Lasch.
The Leather Coats Avengers huddled together at a private table at the back of the Dragon Claw Inn, toasting their good fortune, while preparing themselves for a new adventure on the morrow!
This Concludes the Journey to the City of Lasch, as Enjoyed by the Active Players and Lurkers at the Inn!

Subject: Agree
I saw this film this afternoon and found it to be a refreshing departure from the usual Sci Fi film genre!
BRILLIANT
As a side note, if you are a Harrison Ford fan, be sure to see '42', as in my humble opinion it was one of the best acting roles of his illustrious career!

Topic: LC Avengers QnA
Subject: Busy Schedule
I have an extremely busy schedule throughout the remainder of February and most of the month of March.
Ziklag has suggested that perhaps I could go ahead and move the adventure forward to the city, perhaps allowing for a new player or two to join in with the original cast of characters, whenever I am able to resume!
If this is also acceptable with Raven and Tuned_Out, then I would gladly write a wrap up summary of what transpires (just not sure when I would be able to post the summary!)
From that point the stage can be set to resume the adventure, possibly with another character or two, if there are any InnMates who desire to join in this adventure ???????
All I would need is a concept for a character, which means any prospective new players would have to read the adventure titled 'Leather Coats Avengers' and I would incorporate the Castles & Crusades creation stats etc.
This adventure is Character Driven and reading the original Recruitment Threat, the QnA and of course the Game Thread should provide any new players with enough info to come up with a character concept to fit in with this adventure!
Otherwise, we can resume with the original cast of characters and see what lies ahead for the Leather Coats Avengers ?????
Awaiting Your Comments and/or Suggestions!
