Topic: Footprints: Part One, Chapter Five
Subject: The Letters
Khan handed out the letters, actually four in total, and the group read them in silence.
They were simple letters, short and handwritten, yet Karrain, Bon and Varis noticed a small, almost undetectable, magical mark on the bottom corner of each, the same mark identifying the sender.
To An'Jonesy, councillor for Commerce.
All seems to be going well. We have contacts
among the guards, and now that An'Irinar is
out of the way and An'Jantar to follow, we
can take control of Tithuana. An'Tarask
reports that his mercenary force is nearly
ready for the coup, and that they will be
loyal: Clawsbane kindly decided to donate
some money to our cause. Move your pieces
into position, you will know when the time
is right.
~ An'Inglefar
The second and third letters were identical, save the names at the top (An'Tarask and An'Corent, councillors for Defence and City respectively), and an extra section:
Except that our dear An'Jonesy is to be no
part of our great Empire of Tithuana.
Please reply as to state of the City Guard's
allegiance and as to the fixing of the next
elections, so that we remain in power.
~ An'Inglefar
And the fourth letter seemed a little more weathered, as if a messenger had run through rain with it. It had probably travelled much further. The response was scrawled underneath in confident handwriting.
To Clawsbane,
A simple letter to thank you for your
donation to our cause, and to wish you
well in your current plans. If the idea
never falls through, you're welcome to
join us here in Tithuana.
~ An'Inglefar
To An'Inglefar,
How could I refuse to help you out? You
have been a great help to me in preparing
my Ethrona project, and I could never even
dream of refusing to give you some of my
gains. Which are thanks to you, I must
add. In any case, I wish you good luck
with your project, and I shall
pass through some time to see how it's
coming along.
~ Clawsbane

Subject: Except...
... RP Noob, that one of my reasons for being such a TES fanboy are the mods. Yay for computers!
... they should really make the console versions mod-compatible. Now that consoles have hard drives, they should be able to make it work. Maybe not have modding software available, but at least allow mods made on PCs to be used on consoles. ^^
I mean, buying Oblivion was worth it, just to play the total conversion called Nehrim.

Away again!
From tomorrow morning (GMT sort of morning) I'm going to see my parents for a week or so. Expect little to no presence here.
Just a heads-up for Celtia and Clockwork that I probably won't read their replies to either Q&A or thread for Footprints.
Nudge. Nudge. Nudge.
See y'all soon.

Topic: Desert Island Tales: a Survival Story
Subject: Desert Island Tales: a Survival Story
Short idea, because I'm on the train for 8 hours tomorrow, so will perfect it and its system on the train.
I'm planning on starting a survival-island style game, fantasy type. Naturally, amnesia at beginning, like any cliché survival game.
It'd be more of the game than the roleplay, but roleplay would give chances to develop the character and improve abilities which would lead to more developped gaming.
System would be run in the background with a few references in-game, based entirely on a d8.
Why d8? It's the only die I happen to have in physical form.
Success of actions uses rolls, and some actions can succeed but simply take longer (naturally).
Turn based: players post their actions for the following turn, I update, rinse and repeat. I'd set max. posting delay as a week, and minimum whatever is wished.
Human, elf, goblin and korrigan as races.
Anyone remotely interested?

Subject: Woot!
Really happy with myself for my plot exposition post in Footprints. I'm surprised I remembered that much about the plot myself, as I wrote this up in December 2010 and lost the papers in April.
I can only say that the storyline has changed radically due to SOME players' interventions. Changed radically... for the better

Topic: Footprints: Part One, Chapter Five
Subject: Khan uses Plot Exposition! It's Super Effective!
"Straight to the point I see. Karrain, if I recall... they mentioned you during the Knowledge Duel, massacring your name," Khan replied, "As for the councillor for Magic... This is why I have asked you here."
Noticing Varis eyeing the jugs and saucepan warily, he added, "As for the drinks and stew, I mean no harm. You've had a long day, and you'll need a quick something to get yourselves back into shape for what will doubtlessly follow."
He gestured to the seats around the table, sitting at the head.
"I'd always hated An'Inglefar. Strutting around the place, being all so superior, and pretending to be a nice person. Which he was undoubtedly, as he helped the city and its populace in many ways. However everyone has a skeleton in their closet, as you're probably aware, and I set out with the goal of finding said skeleton.
"I broke into his apartments and searched everywhere, but found nothing. No leads, no clues. Until I reached a small chest, warded with some of the most powerful magics I had ever seen. It took me about a month to open it, sneaking in every night, and finally extract and copy the letters within, resealing the charms behind myself."
He glanced at Karrain, smiling, "Which is why you later discovered me on the rooftop. Such exertion of mana without rest left me exhausted and clumsy, and I should have gotten someone else to do the deed."
Khan took a sharp intake of breath.
"What I found was proof of treason and systematic murder. Suffice to say that An'Inglefar had to be stopped, for the sake of Tithuana."
DHarem opened his mouth to speak, but shut it shortly afterwards, to let Khan go on.
"The Red Revolutionary Revolution approached me with an offer. They asked me to kill An'Inglefar, unaware of the discovery I had made before. I accepted, and planned on using the Knowledge Duel to attempt to pin blame on the Foreigner, to make life easier. I hadn't counted on a powerful mage being in the audience. I had nothing against the Foreigner, but he was a convenient device in the plan. Anyway, I had planned to use the money from the RRR to create a temporary mercenary militia in case An'Inglefar's plans fell through."
The mage made a few gestures, and a small chest rose into the area to deposit itself in front of him, on the table.
"With my plans set back, that money didn't arrive. But Tithuana is still in the greatest of dangers. There are too many forces at work: the traitors, the RRR, and a shadowy organisation of which I have heard only rumour. And now the élément déclencheur: the Bard, the Sacrelarch, the Seeker and the Hunter."
He opened the chest with five words, muttered under his breath, and withdrew four scrolls.
"I'm sure you all can read. The first letter is from An'Inglefar to An'Jonesy, councillor for Commerce. The second and third from An'Inglefar to An'Corent and An'Tarask, councillors for City and Defence. The fourth is a letter to Clawsbane.
"As for why a famous adventurer like Clawsbane would receive and reply to a letter to the Councillor for Magic, that's suspicious enough. All I can say is that it doesn't make for light reading."

Khan poured the mead, offering it up to Karrain.
"Ex-Bard? Strange way of describing yourself, Varis... you don't mind if I use your first name?"
He continued, "An'Inglefar is dead? By Smythian knights... pray tell, no bystanders were killed in that attack? I'm glad to hear that bastard got his comeuppance, but did any bystander get hurt?"

Saw a billboard advertising it, and it didn't seem to great. Name and picture put me off a bit ("robots + boxing is not instant win material in my book, and that was the impression the advert gave) but hey, if it's good, I'll see about seeing it.

Bon also took a sniff, shaking his head. No poisons of any form he could recognise.
DHarem was taking a look at the stew, "Normal stew."
In fact, as mage towers go, the tower and its contents were exceedingly normal. Khan began to move slowly down the spiral stairs, now wearing a dark-blue robe. He limped towards the table, clearly still in a bad shape.
"Glad to see you brought companions. DHarem, wasn't it?" he asked the Seeker.
"Yes..." came the slightly off-guard reply.
The mage poured a goblet of mead, then held out the jug, "You're probably all wondering why I asked you here..."

And this jug of it looks and smells like mead, not one of the best, but nonetheless a perfectly fine one.

Subject: Botree Mead
Not enough info to merit an actual game post:
Varis will have seen many people drink it in his travels, mainly middle-class, as it's a subtle and sweet taste. He will have met a bartender who will have explained the process of extracting the sap from the Botree, sieving the woodchips away and the fermentation process.
It's a similar strength to a very powerful beer, around the 9% alcohol (but of course they don't measure booze on Anchor).
EDIT: In fact, Karrain drank a mead on his arrival in the tavern at the beginning.
