well, that's another one gone... leaves us with 3 players, which I can harly call a group. Perhaps we should consider leaving this for what it is.... since we haven't gotten too far into the adventure yet.

?

Oh no, who left? I don't want it to end, however it is up to you. It has been an very interesting game so far. I always enjoy your Dming and how much effort you put into you posts and situations. Besides so many of the games have gone down to a crawl or less. At least you are always there.

Yours was one of my last two games that are active out of my whole list fo games. There was talk of Kaelyn getting his going again but still nothing up.

Ah well, what will be will be.

Um, I think that it's a decent sized group... 3 people... well, we could always do Gestalt, to give us more options, and more party strengths.

I do want to take the game further, if that is possible.

... if you'd have me.

I don't know how easy it would be to fit in a new character, but I'd be interested in a "rogue" type. Cidal or gnome, probably. Either a rogue or beguiler as the "main" class, with fighter or ranger mixed in for good fun.

What do you say?

I will see if anyone I know wants to join.

Ayrn, you're more than welcome to join. A cidal rogue would be perfect, since our rogue just left.

Maybe we can find somebody else to join us. I do have to say though, that this will be the last time I will allow people to join in a later stage. In the past, games that had a lot of player transitions died out because there was too little connection with the backstory.

But since it's still early in the game, I'll post a recruitement notice.

We can welcome two new players: Ayrn and Dwelkinor. We had another applicant, who had to drop before completing the character due to real life issues. We'll go on with 5 players now. Sounds like an ideal head-count to me.

I've updated again, a very short thingy. I need you guys to interact and make a plan. If you don't want to make a plan and just see what my next update brings you, please let me know before sunday, if you can. I would be able to get a good update in that would take us a bit further into the story, and you'll know what you're dealing with as well.

Got hit with a coupleof big projects at work this week. Will be back to posting Monday AM.

I have "filler/ RP" stuff to post, but nothing that would shift the direction of the party any bit. Cole's good about heading back to the monestary.

Maybe two questions/ sugguestions though:

1) Maybe we should examine the area where the "payment" was made more closely, see if the lizardfolk left anything behind.

2) I'd like to roll a Knowledge [Nature] and maybe a knowledge [Geography] check for Driscoll to see if he recognizes the "creatures". Are they something he has come across before in his travels?

Anyway, feel free to update.

Another thing that I have to tell you is that you guys should drop the fact that somebody was attacked in the village the first night you arrived. It was done by Ocyari, who was a half-vampire and needed the man's blood. Since Ocyari is no longer a part of this game, and we magically removed her from the group, we'll pretend it never happened. It has no other influence on what happened or what will happen.

I updated the game, and put up the old map you guys found on the first page, under the map that was already there. I didn't put all the houses on there, since that would've just made things less clear. At least now you can see what's what.

Just wanted to say that the no post yet is not an indication of no interest.

While the information we've uncovered is interesting, I'm still trying to think it through and, even more so, determine where I think we should go next.

See, this is what I like about your games, Almerin... they're complex (ish) and leave a lot of room for us as players to move.

Anyway, I'm also quite busy until after Easter, so I probably won't be posting this week.

TO THE OTHER PLAYERS: Some thoughts --

1) Wow! This village has a lot of hurt that needs some real healing! It may be good to set up residence in the village and see if we can observe some of the interpersonal relationships between the villagers (who loves who, who hates who?)

2) The reptile-men -- perhaps really just men cursed and bound to this form of "reptile-hybreds"? I'm thinking maybe by/because of the mystery woman the people burned as a witch at 150 ER (around that time,anyway) . It fits with the fact that the raids on the village have been happening for the oast 300 years.

What are soime of your thoughts?

Good thoughts, but we need posts to keep the game going. It's been quite a while since my update... I hope nobody is stuck on what to do. I figured I gave you guys lots to post about.

I thought I had this game subscribed, but it turns out I didn't. Now however, that has changed.

I'm a little confused about the years. Maybe I'm just confused about what year it is in game. I understand that the fish people showed up 300 years ago, which would make it x E.R.?

Maybe it was somewhere and I just missed it, but I'm trying to figure out what connections might be made from the three dates we were given.

I believe it's 450 ER right now.
