Subject: Out of town for the weekend
I'm going to an SCA event several hours south of here and should be back sometime Sunday evening as long as all goes well with the icy roads.
I've updated the games I'm in so I think I should be able to go and get back before I'd need to post anything again. I think.

So I guess when I said "some time Tuesday" what I meant was Thursday. Eh, only off by two letters.

Topic: New Spores of Itanlok ~ 2 ~ A Short Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Bohen
"It's been too long." Bohen Durnadast thought as the crown he'd been following turned toward the Museum of Arts and History. The young Khord had spent most of the day just wandering the warrens, reacquainting himself with his old home. He'd been traveling the surface for the last twelve years, primarily in the company of humans, and his memories and the actual corridors no longer matched up properly. The Grand Library had been easy, but it took the better part of an hour circling and backtracking before he found the Ungolfad . The irony that he, a trained ranger, had so easily gotten lost in what was once home brought a bemused smile to his lips. He decided to just let the foot traffic pull him where it will rather than fighting in vain to find a few misremembered streets and shops.
Every few minutes someone would raise an eyebrow or cock their head at Bohen's trimmed and exceedingly short beard. He would just smile in response to their curious looks, nod a "Well met." and continue on his way. It was simpler and less humiliating to pass it off as nothing than to recount the incident during one of his first solo missions where he fouled his crossbow with his own beard. The moments it took him to extricate himself from his weapon almost resulted in allowing the enemy scout to discover an allied encampment. Since then, he's always trimmed his beard in a square cut just below the clavicle. Keeping to the "form follows function" philosophy, Bohen maintains the rest of his hair in a short, black pony-tail that ends between his shoulder blades, so that it will never obstruct his peripheral vision. After so many years among humans, who would cleanly shave their faces and allow no more than an inch or two of hair on their heads, he'd always felt his own hair was almost too lengthy. Now, though, beards long enough to be tucked in at the belt were common and he felt some of those he passed were giving him the same look that he gave the first time he saw a man who shaved both his face and his head.
"Definitely too long." he repeated as he found himself being herded into a room almost completely packed with people. At the far end was a pedestal whose display was covered by a velvet cloth, though from the excited murmurs and the sheer number of people packed into this room, Bohen assumed this was the "MARVELOUS SAPPHIRE!" the banners had advertised. Being in a room with this many other bodies, the ranger was beginning to regret the choice to continue wearing his chain shirt once he had entered the warrens. The piece of mithril armor was the only item he still had that bore the Nemesis insignia, the mark of his former comrades. He had been allowed to chose one item from his standard issue equipment to keep, and the rest had to be returned to be reassigned to some later recruit.
As the temperature rose and the museum moderator began a speech that would no doubt be a lengthy one about how he'd found the Sapphire, and how honored he was that Kharox had blessed him so, and other topics no one else in the room seemed to care much about, Bohen was glad that he'd been able to fit the rest of his belongings into his marvelous haversack. A thick winter blanket strapped to his back right now would be torturous. Though no one else seemed to notice the slowly rising heat and humidity. Maybe he'd picked up a bug and was running a fever, maybe it was just him. Then he realized that most of these people were probably craftsmen and would easily spend eight or more hours a day hard at work at their chosen pursuits, most of which would include the use of a forge. This room was still comfortably cool for everyone else. One more thing to readjust to.
“And so I present to you, the Irondock Sapphire!” The speaker finally concluded his long speech and pulled away the velvet cloth to revealed what they had all come for. The murmur in the crowd died away. Nobody said a word as they all stared into the sparkling blue facets. Suddenly Bohen didn't notice the uncomfortable warmth anymore. The gem was one of the most beautiful things he'd ever seen and it seemed to demand to be admired the way it glittered. It reminded him of the sun reflecting off the slow roll of ocean waves, and he could stare into that deep blue for days (once he finally worked up the courage to look over the ship's railing).
The spell was broken once people started to move again and talk amongst themselves about other beautiful sights they'd seen and comparing them to the gem. Bohen pushed his way forward to the speaker and addressed the beaming Khord, "This seems to be quite the day for you. It's my luck that just this morning I've returned to the warrens and am able to see your beautiful find here. Name's Bohen, Bohen Durandast. And I must congratulate you on your find here. It is truly a marvel." Bohen turns to admire the gem from this closer vantage as he continues, "If you need any more guards for your new treasure here, or are planning to add more general museum security, I spent the last decade as a soldier and mercenary . I'm not sure where to start looking for work, now that I'm back, but I thought here might be a good start. I'll be staying at the Clouded Mug, most likely. Maybe the Aglar Column. I'm not sure yet."
"I'm sorry. I'm rambling again and you've got plenty of other people trying to get in a word. Thank you for sharing this find with the community. And congratulations again." Bohen stepped away from the pedestal and let the crowd dictate where he'd move. It didn't take long before he was standing along the back wall, watching everyone else try to get closer to the gem.

Subject: Granted
Meredith, you now have 100 applauds, but the spam idiots, who aren't supposed to be able to access the internet, have finally found a way and they've given you and the rest of the Inn 1,000,000,000 smites and flooded all the threads with useless junk. Half the internet is down due to Unintentional DoS activity.
Olan had to remove all their accounts, revert the smites/applauds to a point before the massive spam influx and Grugg has been dispatched to destroy/eat all the 2G hotspots that allow the idiots access to the internet.
Unfortunately for you, Loki, Grugg has done his job too well, and all interent access in your area will be down for the next month or so.
History remembers this weeks events as the Arrival of the Idiots and world governments decide to never allow free internet access ever again.
I wish I could get enough sleep to actually feel rested.

Subject: Heya
Thanks. I'm looking forward to this game. This will be the first time I've played a longer lived race. I usually stick to playing humans and the idea of starting a character that had already lived more than twice my own age is really fascinating.
I'm working on an introductory post, but it probably won't be finished until some time Tuesday.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: the Unsung Heroes Q/A
Subject: With you on that one.
The first draft for Talus was basically, "I shoot it... does it die?"
It looked like it would take up at least three lines until I posted the thing and the width changed from the little text entry block to the actual forum page. Barely two lines.
Okay, scrub that and start over. Four or five edits later I had one that barely passed my posting standards. It took a really long time to think of something else that he'd do.

Subject: Talus
“We have claimed these halls as our den. You will feed our young for days to come, and when the last of the flesh has been stripped from your bones, perhaps your foolish kin will send more in search of you, and we shall feed anew”
"I really don't I'd settle too well, might cause some indigestion," Talus tried his hand at responding with some clever retort, but what he came up with seemed rather bland to his own ears. He finished the line anyway and punctuated it with another brimstone blast, vowing to himself to leave the witty repartee to Dylan from now on. "...especially since I'd be doing this as often as I could."
Once the warlock had released the destructive energies at the Rat, he sidestepped over toward Linnix and helped her back toward Dylan and Aelistae. He'll be damned if he lets the group be separated again if those rats swarm like they did before.

You were a famous movie star, one that's remembered more for the fantastic way in which you died than any films you acted in while you were alive.
I wish Time was no longer an issue that kept me from joining more games here at the Inn.

Subject: Looking Around
Would Knowledge: Arcana or The Planes help Talus identify this thing as some kind of aberration or demon, maybe?
Also, how is the ceiling of this room constructed? Is it just hewn from solid rock or are there support beams keeping the room from collapsing?
EDIT:
I just checked the shatter spell and even if there are supports I probably won't be able to do anything with them, because I can only shatter objects weighing up to 70lb and my blast only does 1/2 dmg to objects. I'm still curious about the ceiling and walls though, because I'm looking for some plan B options in case plinking away with eldritch blast doesn't work so well.

You are an amazing artist, sir. I bow to your skill...
Also, I submit a request.
I'd love to have a character from one of my tabletop games drawn up. He's more or less become the mascot of the group and I'd love to have something more than my often clunky description of him.

Subject: No pressure
I've got a table top game I'm running that just got to a point where I have no idea how to get them to the end of the story. I know what's happening now and I know where I want them to be... no visible bridges between here and there.
I wasn't trying to push the game back onto the front burner for anyone and especially not if we've reached the end of Kaelyn's planned story line.
My life's been a little crazy recently as well and I just stumbled back across this game that, honestly, I had almost completely forgotten about and I wanted to know if anyone else was still checking in.
I loved the character interactions and the slice of the world we inhabited, but it's been so long since a game post has happened that I could go either way right now, pick it back up or shelve it.
Was just checking the pulse. If there is one, cool. If not, that's okay too.

Is this a fizzle? Are we on hiatus, to return at some unnamed time in the future? Or is the story ending at this convenient chapter break?

Subject: Chiron
The paladin urged Prajna forward upon hearing the eerie sounds coming from the forest. "Ho, Seluumiel!" he called as he neared the group, "Has anything yet shown its face, or do they merely mock us from behind the trees?"
Chiron angled his horse so he would pass by his waiting comrades, then drew his sword and scanned the edge of the wood while Prajna circled the group. "I am a paladin of Ilmater and, as such, abhor needless pain and suffering," Chiron shouted back at the noises emanating from beyond the trees, "So if you step forth from your hiding places to attack any of this group, I shall ensure your death is a quick one! Stay in your dark holes this day!"
With one more glare out at the tree line, Chiron sheaths his sword and slips from Prajna's back.

"Moving away from the house before we split up is probably a smart idea." Chiron replied to the elf as he began to gather his things for the short run back to town.
As soon as the group broke the edge of the forest the paladin whistled for Prajna, who appeared from behind a nearby tree and trotted up to her friend. "Tenacity and I will be back before you know it," said Chiron as he pulled himself into the saddle, then offered an arm to pull Tenacity astride the horse as well. "Stay here and keep an eye out for any trouble that accursed house might spawn."
