However the only character to really have done anything is Sirene communicating with her Goddess. The results of that, though not the answers, are part of this weeks post. No it's up to her and how she decides to do it to tell you what she learned.

Until you post that the spells and polymorphs and reductions are actually happening, I can't post that they happen.

That's the bad part about online PBP games, sometimes a simple action or actions takes weeks to get done. However it's up to the DM, in this case me, to try to make it interesting enough so that you the players don't get too bored. I know I've said it before but that is the truth.

Now if we can just get everyone posting again we will be good to go. On that note I will be introducing a new player, Red Sector A, into the game with my post tommorrow to help make up for the Inactive status of Kriea and RP Noob.

So give him a big welcome and lets get posting.

GAME ON!!

So I posted as best I could from our Q&A's. Hope this fits everyone. I was going to make Ulthok a crow, they have been known to be able to talk, but I went with a parrot because everyone knows of them talking.

I was thinking going with a Spider Monkey.
"Wish cotton was a monkey." But I was sure if Tann would let it use it voice for the spells.

Ok I boo boo'd. I should have let you post the answers to your chat with your goddess.
I did not expect Ody to post the full measure of spellcasting needed.

Please feel free to back post at your leasure.

Well I didn't want to mess things up, justed wanted to get our Q&A stuff in character. Thought it would help.

But I like the story. Thanks Kyle, good stuff.

Now on to the next encounter.

P.S., Welcome Red!!!

Yep the dialogue between Maggot and the shadow wraiths certainly was interesting!

Well done to Ody too for coming up with the bulk of the escape plan.

Finally, welcome Joel/Red Sector A!

OK thanks to Ginafae and Red Sector A I have edited the 2nd half of the post to address an error on my part of the time differance inside and outside the mountain

So I went over how often the party rested before Sirens and Maggot joined it and after. I came up with roughly two weeks total for the party, and only 1 week for Maggot and Sirene.

Soooo as 1 day inside equals a month outside, the party has been missing for 14 months while Sirene 7 months inside the mountain, + the 3 days getting to the mountain.
Maggot a total of 7 months as he joined Sirene and Alasdair on the same day and the three entered together.

Since the party was last heard from in the town of Star Falls in Erebor they have been out of contact for roughly a year and a half or 16 months. 14 of which was spent inside the mountain + 2 months getting there by boat and walking.

As such I needed to rewrite the beginning of Red's intro post to cover the correct time.

Thanks to Red and Miss Ginafae for bringing it to my attention

Let me start by saying thank you for the kind words about my aiding Tann with the post. Words of this kind from bards such as yourselves is truly an honor.

For our new arrival, I lift a tankard and say greetings. May the road we travel always fall under foot.

I hope my first post in Trilogy is an acceptable one. It seems a bit stiff to me, but given time I think I will come into this character a bit more.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Until our mage ends the reduce spells we remain small. If there is no post as such in the next couple days I will move along as if it has occurred and suggest others do so as well. I don;t forsee us staying in our shrunken form longer than necessary.

Okay dokay, Keeper your free and it's time for Cor to buy the first round!

Thanks for the quick post. Dwarves only ever buy one round; it just ends when they pass out.

I missed you guys, some more than others. *winks at Ulthok*

Looks like I missed all the fun of the mountain. D: Sorry for disappearing. I will do everything in my power to not let it happen again.

Tann, can you darken or sharpen the red lettering? I make out alot of it but not all of it. Well all of the lettering could be a bit sharper. It may be my computer too.

Welcome back K, now Valene can get Ulthok drunk and then take advantage of him.

How did you know my evil plan? D:

Well now that you have once again posted I can take you off the inactive list
Glad to have you back in the game.

Ok Ulthok sorry about the bad resolution on the map but it was the best I could come up with considering how old that map is. Best thing to do is increase the zoom on your monitor to 150-200% and that should bring the names into zoom. However to help out the first Inn you'll come too is the Inn of the Rising Moon on the right side of the map.
