So is it that everyone is failing their preception checks and saving throw vs. illusion????
I see none of the team has any resistance to illusion. Maybe Stoney will help there. Gnomes save better vs. illusion.

Gee this is so much like you, especially the hair part.
I could have picked you out in an instant, lol.
Ok Mr. C I know I bumbled the start so I'll post my acceptance of the guard's mission. I'll try to write it tonight or Sunday so you can review it. It should get us in syn by the end of the week. I have not heard from Pit F(r)iend so I guess we'll start without him. Looks like Erevan, the Wizard and what ever NPCs you setup.

Subject: The team may not know...
The team may not know about Lorna but the visiting Prof, past graduate, may know and few others around school. Though Meri doesn't talk openly about her ex and child it still could be be sometime the team would have to discover to solve the encounter.
I tend to miss the obvious and delve into the obscure. But then isn't that one of loveable traits of a gnome.
I've done some rereading I don't know where I got the idea that the new Weapons master was also a Red Wyrm grad. But still because of his high social placement he may have knowledge of the past life of a Queen now turned Adventuring Instructor.

Lorna was Prof. O'Leary's child. Did anyone notice the Prof drinking alone and looking grim. Could be an anniversay of Lorna's passing and her spirit could be looking for Mommy!
Then again maybe not, but are we sure? Dum, Dum, Dum.

I know I've seen the instruction on how to do the HTML stuff, but for the life of me I don't remember where it was.
If someone could direct me there I'll start practicing on my character sheet.
As you've hear me say before, "I may be old, but I'm slow too."
Never mind
I found scarab's tutorial, now need to practice.

“My father is Rocca DeBoliva of clan DeBoliva, my mother was Jillian of Clan Barackathal. They had grown up together in the clanhold of Barackathal. My mother’s father was the representative of the clanhold to the Granitehome Warren. My Grandfather , Grant DeBoliva, commanded the Breachgnomes and my father trained as a guard of the warren, our clan was responsible for the defense of the warren.
My parents had known early, even before their coming of age that they would marry. The year they reached their fiftieth birthday they married. They were married for nearly 50 years when we had a son, me, Stonier.
As Rocca trained as a guard, Jillian raised me and taught me of arts and crafts. She said I had a way with wood, stone and meal that few ever have. By the time I was twenty I could make fine musical instruments and the best bows and spears our warren possessed.
But then the call came to all that live in the land to aid the King of the Humans. A powerful Mage was testing his might and brought evil things against those that live in the Kingdom. Groups of Ogres, Trolls, Goblins and Gnolls attacked randomly. My Grandfather and my father took a company of our best Breachgnomes to help the King rid the land of this menace. My Grandfather was given command over several of the Kings companies and my father was given command of our company of Gnomes. The King’s army was successful in killing or driving out the Mage’s forces. Our soldiers returned to Granitehome. When they arrived they discovered that a group of retreating Gnolls had just attached Barackathal and several Gnomes were caught outside the warren and capture. My mother and I were among them. My father lead the patrol to track down Gnolls and free us.
When the Gnolls had stopped for the evening they placed a light guard on us, they must have thought that because we were small we could not escape. My mother and the others had loosen thier bonds and had loosened mine too. She told me she had spotted several badger holes near by and that we would make for them and hide with the badgers. Mother said that we had to hide in separate burrows and then make our way back to warren on our own. We were to sneak as quietly as possible so as not to lead the Gnolls to the Gnomes. What mother didn’t tell me was that all of the gnomes had agreed they would create the diversions so I could escape.
I found the burrow and crawled inside to find the badger. Even though I was only half grown I still had learned to talk with some of the forest animals. The badger lead me deep under ground and through its network of tunnels, she was able to get me nearly a quarter league away from the Gnolls. But she would not let me leave until she was sure it was safe for me. I stayed two days in the burrows before I was able to surface and start my journey home.
I didn’t know that the privious morning my father came upon the campsite the Gnolls had used the nights before.
He found the remains of our people. They had been taken as food. He found Jillian’s clothes and buried them, but found no sign of me. All the others were accounted for, he ordered the patrol to return to Granitehome in case the Gnoll had doubled back. Although they protested he insisted and commanded them to return. He told them he would fellow, that he wanted to be sure the graves were safe. When they were gone he removed his helm and armor plate. Throwing them on the ground, he shouted, “What good have these? I should have been home guarding the warren, my Jillian and my Stonier would still be alive.” He dropped to his knees and swore on his wife’s grave he would not rest until he had freed our people from those Gnolls.
That is when the insanity took him. He took up his spear and sword and tracked that party of Gnolls. One by one he caught and killed them. He gutted each them and buried the contents of there stomachs. Then for thirty years he has continues to range the frontier lands tracking Gnolls, killing and gutting them, seeking revenge for the son he never found. He has become a known as “Gnollsticker”.
My father never knew that I lived. And it was only from the stories of the forest creatures that I learned of my father’s pledge. My Grandfathers did the best they could to raise me. One teaching the social arts and the other the defensive arts. Although I completed the training as a Breachgnome I never abandoned the arts and crafts that I learned from my mother. Those are what keep her in my heart. In time I applied those skills to weapon making. I felt that if a weapon were a thing to treasure then it would used sparingly and with great judgement.
Now I have grown strong and now have reached my coming of age. My goal is to use the skills my family has taught me to find my father. To ease his suffering and guilt and to bring him home. But I don’t have the adventures skills I need to search him out. So using the money I have earned from the gems I have cut and the weapons I have made, I am enrolling in RedWyrm.

Subject: Memorial Day
Memorial Day 2014:
Once again I am pleased to present this thread.
This Saturday, the 24th, Boy Scout and Girl Scout Troops of Northeast Ohio will assemble to place flags on the graves of the over 30,000 military at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery. My father is in one of those.
This year I may be the last of the original attandies of the first Decoration Day. But from that first it has grown from about 80 Scouts to over 500. Last year the nearly 30,000 site were decorated in less than a hour.
I hope you remember to thank the veterens in your area and take a moment remember those that served. This includes those of all nations that united to protect freedom.
----------------------------------
Memorial Day 2013:
This Saturday we will once again "Honor" and remember those that have gone before. Please take a moment to remember those that defended your rights. The Scouts in the area will decorate the over 30,000 graves of our service people.
Also this year please remember those first responders that have put their lives on the line every day to protect and save us here in our own country.
-----------------------------------------
I wanted to repost this reminder. Next Saturday the 26th we will once again honor our service people by decorating the graves at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery. This is the 12th year it has been open.
Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery
Here is the 2012 write up from the Akron Beacon Journal
(Below written in 2010)
I want to take a moment and ask our Inn Mates to pause and say "Thank You" to those that protect and defend our rights to do things like gather online for fellowship and those that gave that last ounce of life. Whether they died in actions protecting our rights or passed after surviving to enjoy the those rights they honorably defended.
Today I attended the 10th decoration day at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery outside of Rittman, Ohio. Our Scout Troop, among many others here,has been proud to take the time each year since OWRNC has opened to help plant American Flags on each of final resting places of these service people. Today we honored 13,300 service men and women, which included my father. Arlington Nation Cemetery in Washington, DC is nearly full. This is our nations second National Cemetery and is growing at a rate of 12 veterans per week.
I am constantly reminded of this Honored place because I live close enough to see at night the spot light that illuminate the giant flag there and often in the quite of the evening to hear "Taps" that is played every night.
So on this long weekend of outdoor picnics, swimming parties and family gatherings please pause for that moment of "Thank You".
"Freedom is not Free, there are those that paid the price for you!

I've played 2nd ed for a while and just stated 4th (gamed 3 times). Also I'm new to game by post. So gang are you ready for a Newbie?
Meri, as I said in my PM I'll adjust the character intro from rolling darkness and send that and my 4th ed sheet info. In the mean time I just got a 3.5 PH and I'll see if I can make some sense of it.

Subject: Game Stat Play vs. Story
As I said I'm new to this play. In reading RedWyrm I notice that some call out the + this and 1d6 that. Is that going to the play or will we story eluding skill and feats just letting the DM handle the stats? Such as "Nocking two arrows Odyson sites the two Kobolds standing by the statue and letting them fly." "Drawing his sword and axe Odyson charged the Bugbear." Adding more detail but still story more than call stats.
