Topic: When the Silence Breaks...
Subject: Thump thump
The hammer felt good in his hand, and as he readied himself to the thug attacks it brought him back to times in his home, training relentlessly with Malog, trained to defend one another, guarding your partners back against an inferior foe with superior numbers, much like now. It was different though, this time he was alone, and far from his home city. He was not unprepared however.
He readied himself for their assault. Their tactical ability was most likely lacking, drunken human filth that they were. Their brutish nature betrayed their potential strategy, and Thondrirr silently thanked Ash his breastplate was made my strong dwarven hammers, hopefully it would protect him this day.
The first game at him from his left, having scooped up a chair on his way, clearly intending to use it as a rough club. Thanking the good fortune that made humans the stupid cattle that they were, Thondrirr waited for the opportune moment before launching his counter-attack, his first swing going wide but the momentum carrying him through to strike the man in the chest with the head of his warhammer. Not a fatal blow, but enough to knock the inbred creature to the ground, no longer a threat.
While he dispatched the first, the other two made their move, seeking to gain an advantage from the distraction the first had provided. Their lack of compassion and common sense, though known to him from others of their kind, further confirmed by their willingness to sacrifice one of their own to gain advantage...and their inability realise they'd soon be joined him on the ground.
The first grabbed him from behind, unlearned in the inherent sturdiness of dwarves. Thondrirr had shifted his weight, shrugging the back of his back, when the familiar clang of steel on steel reached his ears. The filthy dog-spawn has attempting to stab him in the back, he was going for blood. Though he had merely stunned the first of them, he had no objections to granting this other's lust for blood, and he spun about, keeping his centre of gravity low and swinging his hammer in a wide arc, catching the man full in the face, shattered in skull and sending his limp form sailing into the fireplace.
The third, in the cowardly way of a goblin, noticed his numbers had dwindled, and wasted no time in making for the door. While one of the bigger newly arrived bastards blocked his path, he turned only in time to see Thondrirr's mallet make contact with the side of his new, smashing the joint with a sickening pop and causing him to fall to the ground, writhing in agony. Thondrirr paused to spit on his shaking form, his disgust for the man and his comrades plain on his face.
He turned away from the man (by this point completely limp and unconcious) and headed over to the first table he had overturned, pausing for a moment to look at the large brute who was responsible for the "unfortunate accidents" that befell the others in the tavern. He gave the man a rough kick, but while he didn't stir, the movement knocked his hand to the side, causing it to drop the dice it carried. The dwarf, bent down, picking the pair from the ground and examining them. They had rolled a pair of singles, "goblin's eyes".
"An'lucky mate," he said, pocketing the die, "ah'll be take'n these now to be keep'n yer sorry pelt out'ta troubl' from now'un, eh?"
By now the innkeeper, and ugly bloke whose name Thondrirr had neither the time nor the desire to learn, recovered from the shock and started yelling at those left standing, demanding they leave immediately, a direction Thondrirr had already been heading, though he wasn't going to take any orders from this pestilent dog of an innkeeper.
"Ah'll be leav'n ye cowardly bast'rd. Ah wod'nt be sleep'n here if ye had th'finest ale in all th'land." He spat back at the man, pausing once more to spit on the floor before making his way toward the door, pushing past anyone who gets in his way.
He passed the other dwarf, his dour mood stopping him from even acknowleding him as he passed. He was busy speaking wildly to the innkeeper regardless, pleading in his own tongue as well. Sinking to the level of these humans was unacceptable, and had he been anywhere else he would have stopped to reprimand him, but as it was he had no desire to remain here, and the man in the fireplace who now found himself without a face was already beginning to stink. It was obviously time to go.
"Brother, I would have words with you, away from the prying eyes and ears of these others. I have a proposition for you, distasteful as it may be. Would you accompany me outside, where we can set up our own camp and talk of things these others would not understand?."
It was spoken in dwarven, and so obviously to him, he turned to face the other dwarf, who was now staring at him expectantly. It had been too long since he had spent time discussing matters with another dwarf, even a Duskarn. Perhaps a companion for the time being would be good for the soul.
"Ah'll hear ye out friend," he said in dwarven, "away from these tall-ones and frail fey creatures. It will be good to be have'n company of one's kin again. Ah' shall be wait'n fer ye at the outsk'rts of th'city, ah' have no desire to be stay'n in this filth annae long'r."
His piece said, Thondrirr turned away and head for the city limits, where we would wait for the Duskarn. Perhaps he could expedite his quest with his assitance, Thondrirr did not know, but he was sure that the sooner he was travelling again, the better it would be for him and anyone who foolishly tried to get in his way.

Also, many of those archived pages have reference to multiple people in chat. People should do that again.

Topic: I can't take it sometimes!
Subject: I'm Canadian
Thus I have no say in the election vote-wise. And really I'm undecided anyway. I think Obama is good for the change he represents, and might start a new era in politics. I admire McCain's dedication and wisdom. But really the campaign is too ridiculous too comment on.
McCain picking Palin is just weird, ridiculous insuations about religion and terrorism is just stupid (and possibly a hate-crime?) and I think a combination of the two + the shift in US views will give it to Obama I think. But then I'm pretty sure he'll be killed by some idiot somewhere.
Also, from a mod note: Keep the thread civil, political threads often manage to trainwreck.

Two things, why is Night of the Living Dead not higher and why do you use so many strike-outs?
I'm a huge zombie buff, so I personally like to throw them on top of every list I make, Friday the 13th ain't bad itself either. Exorcist and the original (new one is less than impressive) Halloween should definately be high up, I think exorcist a little more so though.
But now you've inspired me...need to go get these and watch them.
