Topic: Weird War II
Subject: Oh Crap!!
With his one and only grenade thrown and exploded, Romo emptied the Thompson’s clip into the sci-fi creature before him. As a boy he had enjoyed Sci-fi stories but never had he thought to actually encounter the same.
Within moments the Captain was calling a retreat into the castle itself and away from the clearly now wounded monster. As Romo joined the others he caught Greta’s comments on another way out.
“Well if that’s the case I think we need to start grabbing any and all weapons we find, grenades and heavy explosives being a priority. Not to sound crazy Captain but I have the feeling the creature we just fought won’t be the last Sci-fi horror we encounter. Whatever the krauts were working on, they sure as hell F-’d with the wrong s**t.”
Waiting the Captains next order the Sarge took his own advice and begin a look for any discarded useful weapons...

I'm going to try to post on my own and hopefully keep up with the flow of the game. As I have yet to really start my occupational therepy I'm not sure how tired or in pain I will be but I'm going crazy just sitting doing nothing but lurking.
My post for this round is up and I will post sometime soon for Castle Rautenberg.

Subject: Ok gonna try to keep up, no promises :)
Hearing the shots ringing from almost next door Wolf knew he had to hurry. However to just leave the older women in such a state was just not him. Moving next to her, leaving the now unloaded shotgun out of reach, he knelt and took her into his arms.
“Nora listen to me if it’s possible I give you my word we will try to get Jimmy home to you. After this is all over I’ll talk to JW and see what can be done, but I have to help my crew clear the town ok. Be strong Nora it will all work out.”
With a strong hug given Wolf stood, taking the shotgun, and moved outside. Once out of sight he hid the shotgun and holding the borrowed assault rifle, he moved towards the area of the recent gunfire..........

Subject: Hey Look it's Tann!!
To The Staff and Innmates of the Red Dragon Inn.
First let me express my deepest thanks to the Staff and the Innmates that participated in the sending of the module type get well card. Never in a million years did I expect that and the gesture was so right on, that when Kyle first presented it to me, it caused me to start crying uncontrolled for about 5 minutes. I have always thought of the Inn as a second home, a home that gave me a reason to live and a place to be me after my brain surgery, and this card, and the friendships clearly behind it, more then anything else has again proved it to me. So thank you, you are all in my heart forever.
Ok where do I begin about the last 25 days of my life, the beginning sounds about right I guess. As you all know, thanks to both Kyle and Keeper of Dragons, in the morning hours of May 27th I was hit by a series of 4 seizures. The first, and likely the most violent, threw me out of bed while I was asleep causing the complete destruction of a number of my shoulder bones, including both collar bones. The next seizure happened as my mother was responding to my call of assistance to the first one, the 3rd in the ambulance on the way to the ER and the 4th and last one in the ER itself.
As such I was heavily sedated till around Monday when they eased up on the meds after no further seizures had happened. My memories of Fri-Mon are hazy at best and are mostly other peoples recollections so no need to go into that, other then to say the first people I remember waking up to during those days were my Mother, Keeper of Dragons, his wife and his youngest daughter.
Well for the next few weeks it was waiting in a hospital bed for the bone Doc’s to have the time and paper approval from my Health Ins needed to fix my shoulder’s, that were so gone overall that it was decided to replace them with steel parts, cool huh, nope very, very painful. During this time I learned I was quite lucky as the seizures could have killed me, put me in a comma or left me mentally or permanently handicapped in some way. Well the Op was on Thurs May 9th and so far seems to be a success but yet again still quite painful. Then a week of in hospital recovery and I was finally discharged on Wed May 15th.
Well here is where this whole story of luck and hope goes at first very wrong as they discharged me almost without warning and without any home aid. They had been trying to get me admitted to the Reeves Rehabilitation Floor, with my full ok, but due to my ineligibility for the PT part of it they came to me weds morn and told me basically they were discharging me that day within the next 4 hours. No warning, no home aid, no PT aid, no Occupational Therapy aid, nothing, but 1 nurse’s visit the next day. My Mother, myself and our roommate Marc were shocked, sending a man with two recently rebuilt shoulders home with no one to help him learn to use them or how to work on making them stronger was unbelievable.
Well Marc got to the hospital, picked me up, and home we went to find that I had a visitor already waiting for me. It was Keeper of Dragons wife and his youngest daughter, Keeper himself on duty at the time on base in his RL role as a US Army Major. Having heard of the way I was sent home, she being an RN herself, had wanted to check me over to be sure I was ok. Low and behold I was already running a low grade fever. Now many of you might think a low grade fever was nothing to be worried about, but after major surgery it was indeed a cause for concern.
Well it was decided that a return to the ER the next morning to try to gain re-admittance to the hospital for treatment and better care then outside of it was in order. This time with Keeper’s wife driving and to assist in trying to gain me more help in my recovery process. To make a long day, short, where the first offer of aid to me was to send me to a half-way house with no trained medical staff, Keeper’s wife, using her skill and knowledge as an RN, and while I was clearly running the same fever I’d had the night before, was able to gain me 28 hours of Home Health care spaced over 7 days at 4 hours a day every other day. I gained both a visit from a PT person along with a visit from an OT tomorrow to determine how much help and for how long I would need it. So overall things look better in this Staff member’s life, however, the under lying cause for the seizures themselves has yet to be determined and is still an ongoing thing though I am now on medication to prevent them. So the road to recovery and a full return to the inn is in sight.
However the time frame of such a return is yet in question as it has taken the past 4 days just to write this short post. With a consistent lvl of pain between 3-7, my arms feeling heavier then cement blocks and being tired all the time it seems my full time return to DMing and as a player is open to debate, though I am better able to lurk at this time.
I see I have a number of PM’s to answer and promise to do so as soon as possible but please have patience as it may take me a few days to do so, but I will answer them.
Alacrity as you’re my only DM please NPC my characters for now but I will try to send you brief outlines of my actions as is possible as posting for them at this time is just too painful.
To my players in Trilogy please also be patient, Trilogy is in no way dead just on a brief Hiatus till I recover more fully.
To the Inn as a whole, thank you all for the card, your posts of encouragement, and the feeling of family you have shown me during this event, each and everyone of you will never be forgotten..................

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: A start of a plan maybe
“Well from what you say right now as it stands for the three of us here, Miss Willow’s got Bridgett thinking I’m hurt and stuck on the Rocinante, the Doc’s got her thinking your dead, and she don’t know nothing about Andrew here, so we are kinda the wild cards in this game. So do we try to hook up with the Tong, or do we go straight at them ‘deputies’? what do you two think”
The first to reply to Wolf’s question was Andrew from the back seat.
“Well... as I see it.. Going to the Tong is risky,” Andrew said as he kept an eye on the area around them, “... they might not help and it would require time.. Time we might not have… Time that Wyatt and the others might not have… so my suggestion is that we deal with some of the ‘problems’ ... we find out where the ‘ambush’ has been set up and we ‘handle’ it.”
“Ok yeah that makes sense plus driving all over town trying to hook up with the Tong with daylight coming would expose us as being here, doing the Captain no good. But then again, why waste the time looking for them, why not set up our own ambush and bring them to us? the 'deputies' or ambushers I mean”
TO BE CONTINUED.............

Topic: A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones
Subject: A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones
Ok I just thought I put this out there, as this is an entertainment thread and not just for Movies, and see how many readers we have. Due to the new HBO series Game of Thrones based on the same book by George R. R. Martin I was compelled after the first three episodes to go out and buy the 4 book box set last week and started reading the first novel. Holy crap the series does not do the book justice! Yeah so far the series is sticking pretty close to the book but there is so much happening that I cannot see how they fit it all, in only 10 episodes and still hit all the important parts. Hell one of the main characters is already dead in the book and I’m only a bit over halfway through.
Right now my friends TV is down for repairs so I have only seen the first three episodes as he has HBO and I don’t. However once his HD is up and running you can bet we are gonna have a marathon evening of nothing but Game of Thrones.
Honestly though I think the books will prove to be better as they always are as there's no way in hell they got it all in 10 shows..
So has anyone else read or been watching this?? post your words here Innmates

Subject: Thor: What Did You Think?
Well I went and saw Thor a few weeks back and was gonna post this earlier but as Olan ok’d my Entertainment section I decided to wait till he set it up.
Well what can I say I went into this movie thinking it was gonna be an overblown all action no storyline setup to the Avengers next year, boy was I wrong. I liked the way they evolved him from an arrogant god to someone with a better understanding of Earth. The action was not overblown and though they had 1-2 unneeded characters, the irritating young female sidekick of Portman’s comes to mind, the rest fit in very well. I very much liked this one and have to say I liked it better then Iron Man 2. I now look forward the Cap and then the Avengers next year. Feel free to post your comments here but as always please no spoilers
My score: A

Subject: Pirates 4: What did you think.
Well I went to see Pirates 4 today and I have to say out of all of them this one to me was the best. The first three to me felt rushed somehow as if they were trying to pack so much stuff into the movie it got lost, well not this one. It had a believable storyline, the hunt for the fountain of youth, and Captain Jack though his still wacky self was not over wacky if that makes sense. Plus he actually showed some real feelings in this one, and not to spoil it hopefully, said the love word about something other then an item . So if your in the mood for a good fun time go see it and tell us here what ya thought but please no spoilers.
My score b-

Topic: Weird War II
Subject: A Bridge too Far perhaps? LOL
Romo waited and watched getting more uneasy by the moment. Where were the damn Germans?, No way they leave this place unguarded, especially, if as High Command thought they were building a WMD here.
His thoughts were interrupted by the German girl echoing his thoughts out loud
"This is highly unusual, even if called away; one man would have stayed behind."
“My thoughts exactly Fräulein” Replied the Sergeant, but before he could voice any of his other concerns with the whole situation the Captain approached him.
"Troy, as much as I hope that something dreadful has happened to these Nazis, I don't want it to happen to us as well. We should approach as cautious as possible. This bridge however... I think we should take it fast, before it crumbles."
Troy?, since when where they on a first name basis? Romo thought to himself before replying to the Captain.
“Yes sir I agree, however after we take it I think we need to dig in and think this through a bit before we proceed. Something is not right here sir, maybe HQ got it all wrong and there’s nothing here.”
As Romo turned to give the command he saw Clements looking at him already seeming ready to go so Romo nodded his head to indicate he should do so. Taking hold of his Thompson he took up a flattened position on his belly, Thompson before him, covering the corporal as he crossed......

“OK Ash what’s the situation in town?”
“Geez, it’s not good, ya gotta watch every way at once and especially your back. These folks gathering around that new sheriff you brought are a bunch thugs, bullies and cold blooded killers. If it wears a badge don’t trust um. There’s even a girl with um and she’ll shoot you in the back as quick as look at ya. Seems she’s the sister of that fella that was drive’n the getaway mule in that bank job and she’s bearing a grudge. We gotta be careful but sure as shoot’n they’re lay’in a trap.”
“That Miss Bridgett seems to be deep into all of it too, maybe even leading it. Them lawmen been killing Tong seems just for fun. Seeing that Miss Willow’s on good terms with them, they might lend a hand if we can show um we’re ok too. Now the Doc lead um all to think I’m either dead or good as, so they’ll not be counting on a extra gun in this fight. So hand me them goodies you brought and let’s go spoil their fun.”
Turning so that he could face both Ash and Andrew
“Well from what you say right now as it stands for the three of us here, Miss Willow’s got Bridgett thinking I’m hurt and stuck on the Rocinante, the Doc’s got her thinking your dead, and she don’t know nothing about Andrew here, so we are kinda the wild cards in this game. So do we try to hook up with the Tong, or do we go straight at them ‘deputies’? what do you two think”

Subject: A Meet and Greet.... Sorta LOL
As Wolf piloted the Mule through the slowly thinning dark he was glad his idea of silk coverings for the headlights was working as he had planned. Of course once Miss Willow found that dress missing she would certainly have words with the mechanic, but that was for after, for right now getting to Ash was Wolf’s main concern.
Then Frisco was in sight and it took only a few moments and Wolf pulled the Mule to a slow stop at Doc’s back door. Almost at once Ash was climbing into the mule beside Wolf, his head turning between Wolf and Andrew who was seated in the back. Extending his hand to shake Ash’s in greeting, he commenced introductions
“Ash this is Andrew, he’s new crew and fam to the Captain, Andrew, Ash he’s Rocinante’s weapon’s expert, that stuff you wanted is in back Ash you want to gear up before we head into town or what?”
(Assuming some greetings between Odyson and YeOlde while Ash gears up with the gren‘s)
“OK Ash what’s the situation in town?”
(Ok left it open before we move out for some RP as to what we do next)
