Subject: Answering the First
"This is the first time I have brought her along. Usually she does the book keeping from our home in Maruk when I travel. As far as who might have known, I asked a friend by the name of Eryk Valasin to watch my home for me while I was traveling. He is an old acquaintance and knows of my frequent dealings in Illuria. There are those in the merhcnat's guild with whom I had to register my wares and my travel papers to ensure legality for crossing the border, they would obviously have known. Other than that, I can't think of any others."

Topic: Realms of Twilight - A Journey Begins
Subject: Update
It takes about an hour for the three of you to successfully repair the rear wagon while Virif stands watch over the woods. Meanwhile, Allyn unbridles the horses and ties them up just off the road to the south to graze.
After the wheel is finally fixed Allyn approaches once again.
"I'm sorry about earlier. I want to thank you all for pursuing my daughter's kidnappers." He looks up to the moons above. "I think the safest bet for me would be to circle the wagons and camp here for a few hours. When the white moon rises again I will head back for Maruk. If you find anything before then, you'll know where to find me." He stands there for a moment looking at each one of you before moving back of the road to get two of his horses hitched up to the lead wagon. As he works he calls over to where the group is still gathered. "Ask your questions now. I'll be of whatever help I can be."

Topic: No Game Tonight?! What now???
Subject: Entertaining board games
There is a good board game called the Red Dragon Inn (no joke, it's actually called that). It's basically what adventurers do after the adventure. Everyone is in a tavern and starts off with a certain fortitude and alcohol level. Each round the players play cards on each other and drink (in the game, not in reality... unless you really want to). If you run out of gold the bartender kicks you out. If you get drunk and pass out, the other players go through your pockets and then you get thrown out. I find it rather entertaining.
There is also the Order of the Stick game and a few more that I think are pretty cool.
The other option, that I have done before, is to have a set of premade characters, something that you guys don't normally play, and send them into something simple. A pre-written adventure or a few bouts in the arena or something if you really have your heart set on playing D&D.

Outside of the Director's Office
Week 1 - Monday early afternoon
Steelight's customary smirk comes to his face as he turns to follow Ion down the hall. After a moment a voice carries from the direction they left in.
"So are you just going to stand there enamored with our Director or go on the tour?

Topic: Hey, i'm new ...
Subject: Welcome!
Welcome to the Inn. Honestly your best avenue for adventuring right now is to join the Red Wyrm School. There is a Q&A link in the Q&A section (who'd have thunk) that talks about the concept of it. Either of the senior students can assist you in creating a character as long as you have a character concept in mind.
Other than that... beware the face-lick. It's coming. Don't resist, it just makes it worse. 
Again, Welcome.

Subject: Responding
He looks up from his book once again (he must have pulled it back out when everyone was talking), gazes for a moment at the Mivara and Seloust then writes a few more lines in his book. After a few moments his gaze settles on Mivara.
After a few more moments he turns away and begins walking slowly around the campsite, examining everything nearby with great interest.

Topic: Realms of Twilight - A Journey Begins
Subject: difficulty
The forest seems to be quiet now. The normal sounds are returning. The calls of birds and such break the previous silence and bring a feeling of normalcy to the situation.
(Raif is going to have a bit of difficult repairing the wagon on his own as he can't lift the wagon, remove the old wheel and replace it all on his own. Is anyone going to attempt to aid him?)
Allyn seems to calm after a few more minute have passed. He slowly rises from the seat of the wagon and approaches the group. Tears stain his face but where emotion once dominated his appearance, you see only stone and anger.
"I have not made any enemies in Illuria so far as I know. Though the markings on their armor mark them as soldiers of the Illurian Empire. As to why my daughter was targeted, it could be as simple as to negotiate for cheaper rates from me or a ransom. Perhaps they couldn't transport all of my goods and knew I would give them up willingly for her safety once I reached my destination. I can only hope that is all there is to it."
He stops and rests his chin on his hand for a moment, thinking.
"I will return to Maruk. Perhaps I can rally some of the guards or some of the mercenaries that particularly despise the Empire for a low price. If you four are willing, please find my daughter. You have my word you will be well-paid for your time.

Topic: RedWyrm School of Online Adventuring
Subject: Sizing them up.
Steelight Shadowborne
In his few years here, Steelight has learned much about how to survive as a free man. He has learned that every conversation and every confrontation is not a battle for survival, but a test. Some tests are physical in nature, others determine your worth in other less obvious ways. Tann'Talas has become his favorite teacher and has helped him progress in his combat skills. Teaching him to focus his rage and use it as a weapon, instead of letting it consume him. He has learned to use his mind as well as his body to fight his battles, and is thankful for it.
Nowadays, he trains whenever he has a spare hour. He tests himself constantly and... he tends to be a bit arrogant. He tends to look down on those who require tools such as weapons or armor to fight, though Professor O'Leary and a few others have undoubtedly earned his highest respect.
This morning, like any other, Steelight awoke before the dawn. It was a calming time for him, a time before the masters of his past had awoken, the only brief moments of freedom he had before his escape. He had been on the roof of the school practicing for hours when he received instructions to head down to the the Director's office. Apparently there were some new students. After looking down at his sweat covered clothing he decided it simply would not do to show up like this. He respected Professor O'Leary too much.
After a quick stop in his room to wash and change his clothes he headed out to the Director's office. Meeting Ion along the way.
Outside of the Director's Office
Week 1 - Monday early afternoon
The young man in the doorway gazes at the two newcomers appraisingly. His long black hair falls down around his shoulders, framing his face in darkness. His clothing is much as you would expect of a student here. He wears a slightly loose fitting cotton shirt and breeches, with black leather bracers on his wrists stamped with the symbol of a flame. After a moment he shakes his head and mutters something to the pointy-eared one beside him.

Subject: Conversing with the merchant.
Allyn chokes back his tears once again, but only for a moment.
"What kind of question is that!?! Is she untouched?! His tears quickly give way to anger. "My daughter is missing because all of YOU failed to protect her! And you are interested in her virginity?! What kind of mercenaries are you?! The volume of his voice is growing ever greater, yelling by the end of his sentence. His face has flushed red in his rage. "I brought her with me because she is my only child! She'll take over the business when I'm gone and I wanted to introduce her to my contacts. Is that alright with you!?! And I DIDN'T take her alone. YOU were with us!"
(Did I adequately convey that he is a bit... upset? Bear in mind that he isn't entirely himself due to the sudden kidnapping of his daughter, so he would logically be a little more... touchy than normal.)

Topic: Realms of Twilight - A Journey Begins
Subject: Recognition.
After taking a moment to compose himself and wipe his eyes clear he looks at the symbol as Heironymus present it to him. After a moment of thought his eyes light up in recognition.
"This is the symbol of Illuria! The pyramid there, I think that is their capital though I've never seen it. You didn't see any other symbols on them did you? A mark of a noble house or such?"
His body shakes for a minute as he takes a deep breath to steady himself again. Strong emotions still show plainly on his face.
"I trade with several houses of Illurian nobility, but none of them would know of Jocelyn. I've never brought her along before."
Allyn wipes his eyes once more and looks down at the dead brigands.
"They look like Valshari, the dominant elven race of the Illurian Empire. But why would they be after my goods? Or my duaghter for that matter? I don't understand why this is all happening!"
His eyes water and he is wracked again by intense sobs as he practically collapses on the ground, momentarily consumed by grief and fear.

Subject: Tac-Tiles
Tac-Tiles were created and sold by an independent manufacturer for about a year. I found the add in Dragon magazine a few years back. They don't make them anymore but it is a great product. I'm trying to figure out a way my publishing/gaming cmpany can re-design and sell a different version of them since everyone who knows of them seems to like them and miss them.
What they are is passically 1/4" think plastic puzzly pieces. Each piece is 10"x10" with a 1" grid on it. They have a very fine dry erase surface so you can draw whatever terrains you want on them. They fit together flawlessly and when your adventure moved out of one area and into another you could wipe clear one of the tiles, redraw the new area and just place it at the other end of your map. It really is quite convenient. Add that to the small plates produced by GameMastery for flying creatures and such (adding a 3-D aspect to the game) and you've got a great environment for any adventure.
