I thought I already did. 
The wrap up was very good. I really liked it. I think it was good to just move things forward and get us back in the tavern. Now we can start from a clear table, which reminds me that I owe you guys a post.

Well I certainly did like the ending a lot, but would not wish to see it as the final entry in the tale of the Leather Coat Avengers. I've had an absolute blast playing with you guys and even though the game came to halt as RL ate up our time here and there, I'd still like to carry on should the opportunity arise.
You have my thanks for sharing this great experience with me and I hope we can turn another page, start another chapter soon!

Hi guys! Moving the game forward sounds very good to me. (Again sorry for not being around of late.) And I certainly wouldn't mind another person joining the LCA.

Topic: The Hobbit
Subject: Yeppah
Thanks, Almerin. Exactly what I thought. No she hasn't seen the LotR as those are rated K-15 (K= forbidden for kids under) in Finland. And I personally think the violence is quite rough in LotR. And they might be quite scary too for her. Actually she's only seen the Star Wars movies this year or episodes 4-6 and 1-2.

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm hoping to very soon. Almerin, what's your take on the movie, would it be ok for a 11-year old girl or is it too violent?

Bah... I was supposed to write a post a long time ago. I'm really sorry guys for not being able to do it. Life has been tossing me around and around (nothing serious, don't worry) and I haven't had too much free time or energy left during the evenings or weekends.
Sorry again and in any case Have a very, very merry X-mas!
PS. Hopefully we'll be able to revive this game in 2013. And of course, you're free to do so without me.

Sort of. RL eating up my Inn time again really bad.
I have to confess I had forgotten the Leather Coat Avengers game. Or I haven't forgotten it of course, but I was under the impression Hammer was away for a few months or so?
I guess I sort of thought we'd be hearing from our dear DM when he's ready to fire up the game again. But I admit I haven't been able to read the posts at the inn as much as I'd like to lately and probably have missed a thing or two.

Topic: Meeting an RDI icon
Subject: Since Finland is too far away...
I'll propose Thailand. It's not exactly halfway between the US and Finland for example, but it would be warm and cheap.
But seriously, I'm really envious to you guys. I've only met one Innmate (or ex-member actually) twice, and that was maaaaaany years ago in London. I'd love to meet you all, but unfortunately it's not exactly a short hop from Europe (especially Finland) to US or Canada. And I'd naturally have to take the whole family with me, so it wouldn't be cheap either. But one day... Toronto isn't really that far, is it?
Oh and having seen Eol's fabulous art before, I definitely want to see some Star Wars drawings!

Topic: The Trilogy War
Subject: Let's go then!
It was probably the worst planned group attack Ayreon had ever been part of or at least he couldn't remember anything more chaotic. Then again he'd been part of the military for decades and had learned to fight in an organized way a long time ago. Sometimes, he now thought, confusion might be good. But the paladin wasn't at all sure this was one of such moments.
Still holding his bow the platinum haired captain of the Pegasi Riders moved next to Weaver and grabbed the man's tunic. He could only hope the mage would teleport them in a strategically sound position from where he could cut down either the orcs or the beholder.
In his heart Ayreon was as prepared as ever to charge and give his life over the those of the poor hostages. But such a blind and mindless attack might only result in him losing his life and not helping the travelers at all. Therefore in his mind they still needed a plan. Now however, it was already too late for such thoughts...

So who's teleporting the rest of us? Or can Ulthok's spell carry us all?

Ayreon would like to be teleported as well. The walk would take way too long for his liking.

Nothing much Ayreon can do from afar. When teleported, he can either shoot at the Beholder or the orcs keeping the flesh wall in place. Suggestions?

Subject: yeah...
My initial thoughts were the same as yours, Ginafae. I too wished Rayne hadn't done what she did, but in all honesty that was a good post. It was very much in character and because of that I really liked it.
Of course the battle will now be much harder for us, but hey we're the heroes, aren't we? I'm sure you guys have been through much more difficult situations than this before, right?
So what's done is done and we'll need to adapt to the situation.

Topic: The Trilogy War
Subject: Go go go!
The ride from Gygax had been pretty much without incidents, if Ulthok failure in casting the spells was not considered one. To Ayreon it felt good to be riding again - to be outside the caverns of the mountain and away from the stinking (although now dead) giants. The horse, although a healthy individual, was not his faithful Pegasus companion. And riding on the ground was totally different compared to flying of course. But the elven paladin was feeling happy and the constant smile on his face said so too.
Therefore when Cor called for a break, Ayreon was a bit disappointed even though he well understood the need to rest and have a quick meal. He would've liked to ride on, but the horses carrying two riders wouldn't have been able to carry on without breaks through the day. There was a nice level spot beside the road on the hillside ahead and the group slowed down and was heading for it when a cry caught their ears. It was clearly a human child, perhaps a baby even and as such wouldn't have called for any action. However the cry was followed by a scream - a scream of a woman, a terrified one.
Without even thinking about it, Ayreon gripped the reins of his horse tighter and was about to storm off towards the sounds when Cor's voice cut through his thoughts: "No use charging in half-cocked lad. Let our scouts see what we face." Turning to face the dwarven lord, the smile had disappeared from Ayreon's lips. He was about to speak his mind to the party's leader, but he knew it would be useless to complain. The dwarf wasn't really his superior, but in such a diverse group as this having a clear leader was a good thing. And Cor was probably right in any case. Charging in might only prove to be bad for the people in trouble. Not that he would've done so anyway. Ayreon was old, experienced and wise enough to keep from getting himself killed needlessly. but Cor couldn't know that for sure, now could he?
The seriousness of the situation quickly became clear to everyone when Rayne and Weaver returned with the details. An orc raiding party led by a far more dangerous beholder had ambushed a caravan. Without the multiple-eyed, spherical monster it would've been easy to dispose of the orcs for they were no match for a group of adventurers such as theirs. But the beholder was a being of magic and immensely powerful and lethal. Ayreon had never fought one before, but was nevertheless well aware of their powers.
A plan was quickly being formed for they all knew they had very little time to rescue those still alive. Therefore they couldn't afford to spend much time to properly plan the attack. Two teleportation spells would be cast and the heroes would take the beholder by surprise. They would try to take it out before the orcs had time to react. It would not be easy though as the eyes of the monster held many different spell-like abilities and it was very, very intelligent.
Therefore as the spells were being prepared, Ayreon voiced his concerns. "While it would be most efficient to beat and cut the beholder to the death in melee, I would suggest we spread out and shoot it from afar. But if you'd have me charge at it instead, then please drop me somewhere in front of it." A boyish grin followed the last sentence as the paladin readied his bow.

Topic: Trilogy War Q/A
Subject: Plan
Sorry for being silent for so long, but I'll be posting today.
As for the plan, teleporting is a good way to get us closer as long as it's not too close. I'd hate to see any of us being hit by the Death Ray. To me our best option is to use long range attacks as much as possible. Taking out the central eye might not be a bad idea, but naturally that needs to be done with weapons as the anti-magic ray will cancel all spells.
Ayreon too has a longbow available (thanks to your party pool) and would rather use it before charging in headlessly. Perhaps un-paladinlike, but still the best option I think.

Topic: The Trilogy War
Subject: Back finally.
After the party at the inn, Ayreon had retired fairly early even for him to meditate on the resent events. So much had happened in such a short period of time that it had nearly overwhelmed the elven paladin. He was no stranger to adventure let alone combat, but ever since he'd left the king's hall, not so long ago actually, so many uncommon events had taken place. The emerald-eyed holy warrior had been able to complete the main part of his mission somewhat faster than he had dared to hope. But the way he had come to find Rayne was far from how he had imagined it to happen. Getting caught by giants hadn't exactly been part of the plan.
Lying awake long into the night, Ayreon's thoughts wandered into the area he shouldn't have gone. But he couldn't help it. Having met two of the most powerful servants of the Dark Lord and survived the confrontation, sure made the elf think. And even though he felt the presence of his god nearby at all times, he couldn't help the slight shiver that shook his body as remembered great evil he had sensed from the Wraiths. Uncommon events in uncommon times. For that's what these times were. Anything but common.
He'd come to know a little about Rayne's companions in the short time he'd spent in their company. The paladin was well aware of his own far beyond average skills and abilities, but these people seemed to be even more powerful. He was especially awed by the incredibly beautiful Valar - Althena. Shaking the somewhat childish thoughts away, Ayreon's mind filled with images of the group.
Lord Trollhammer - Cor, was a solid leader. He was strong in heart as well as in mind and no doubt a fierce warrior too. Rayne, a fellow Pegasi-rider, Ayreon knew well from earlier. He could trust the ranger to stand by his (and everyone else's) side in whatever danger they would face. Rayne was almost like a sister or cousin to him even if they didn't share the same blood. Then there was Maggot… or whatever his real name was. He was hard to get a grasp of. The half-elf was apparently old, ancient even compared to Ayreon, who wasn't a young boy himself anymore. But more often than anyone else, Ayreon found himself thinking of Sirène and not only because of her exotic and beautiful looks. Through her, he had a link to the homeland they both shared - E'loth Lo'Rian. Though news of the elven kingdom reached the court of Shana'tara time and again, they were at best vague. Ayreon longed to learn more of what was going on at home. With the appearance of Sirène's cousin Mena'Kandur, much of the thirst had been quenched. But there hadn't been enough time to converse with the elven lord and the paladin still hoped he could share a quiet moment with the beautiful mage later on to chat. Ulthok, Valene and Lothor he never got to think about in detail as the exhaustion he felt both in his body and mind took over Ayreon.
The following day turned into one filled with rest and studying. Apparently the mages had found spell books they could copy yet unknown spells from and it would take them longer than initially suspected. The day's break was fine by Ayreon. He did feel an urge to follow the call of his king to join the forces of good in the great battle ahead. But he knew they would gain nothing by rushing ahead mindlessly. More often than not preparation was well worth the time spent. The paladin had little doubt this time would be any different.
Early in the morning, right after breakfast there was really only one thing for Ayreon Larenthanar to do. He walked the short distance to a temple dedicated to Thor, as there were no others in the town, and requested permission from the local priest to spend some time in the temple in prayer and meditation. Having witnessed nearby the assistance Ayreon and his companions had given to the citizens of Gygax, the priest gladly offered a small chamber for the elven paladin's use. Some time later Cor and Valene followed his example.
Rest of the day passed surprisingly quickly. Like Lothor, Ayreon had declined any offer of receiving a share of the group's money. He personally had very little use for money outside nourishment and basic equipment anyway. And having found his purse amongst the loot in the giants' lair, the elven lord had more than enough gold of his own to spend. (OOC: With your permission ofc Tann. Would only seem realistic for the money to be there.) Having found peace and calm in the temple through prayer, Ayreon spend the next few hours behind the inn in sword practice. The new sword Rayne's group had given him felt perfectly balanced and extremely well made. There were runes of magic engraved along the beautiful blade, but Ayreon had no idea what they meant. He would have to ask the mages in the group about it later.
After the training session, the torn and smelly clothes the elf was wearing had become very much unusable. He had been planning on buying a set or two of new ones, but had totally forgotten about it until he saw Lothor come back from his little shopping trip. It took a heartbeat or three for him to recognize the human, but when he did, a wide smile appeared on Ayreon's face. "Well now, Lothor. They actually managed to turn you into something civilized after all.", the elf said with a wink. "I wonder if the shopkeepers are skilled enough to do the same with me?" With a happy laughter, Ayreon patted the warrior on his shoulder and headed outside.
Sometime later, Lord Ayreon Larenthanar, a captain of the Royal Pegasi Riders stepped out of the hot bath prepared for him by one of the inn's maids making the girl blush with his apparent indifference to being naked in front of a stranger. He accepted the towel with a smile, dried himself and put on his new set of clothes. While dressing he could feel the girl's eyes on his back following the intricate lines tattooed into his pale skin. The pattern would be too difficult to explain so Ayreon simply dismissed her gaze with a smile.
After dinner, late in the evening when the darkness had fallen, the platinum haired paladin stepped outside through the inn's door and took in a lungful of fresh air. He had some idea what they were getting into, but still it felt a little unsettling to be heading towards what was probably a major battle between the forces of good and evil. He feared not for his own life or safety, but for those he had come to know better during the last few days. Knowing his worry was probably unwarranted, Ayreon flashed his warm smile to the starlit sky and set out for a little walk. The little people would be able to take care of themselves. They were not children, but experienced and skillful adventurers who had survived all kinds of terrors and evils. They would all be just fine.
Walking across a field deep in thought, Ayreon nearly stumbled on a rusty and bloody orcish helmet. The corpse had been burned earlier, but for one reason or another the helm had been left on the ground on the spot where its owner had died. The piece of armor didn't make him feel much anything. There was no sorrow or happiness in his heart. The orc was dead. It would no longer hurt anyone else. As he was about turn back towards the town, an eerie sound caught Ayreon's sharp ears. He couldn't place it at first, but then it came to him with clarity. It was a song, an elven song filled with sadness and pain. The singer was somewhere in the distance and he couldn't recognize her voice. But it was female without a doubt. And as he had seen Rayne at the inn, there was only person it could belong to. For a moment Ayreon felt a need to find Sirène and offer her comfort, but he knew that could not be. She was alone because she wished to be alone. And disturbing her would be unforgivable. Shedding a tear of his own for her pain, Ayreon turned around and headed back towards the inn.
Next morning they rode off with Ayreon sharing a horse with Cor. It was the first time he had ever ridden with a dwarf, but the leader of the group handled the situation better than expected. At some point Lother came to ride alongside them and called out to the elf: “Ho, Ayreon I am asking for your forgiveness for my suspicions back in that Giants lair, it had been too long since I had met another noble man.” The words of the human warrior brought a grin to Ayreon's lips and he laughed out loud happily. "No apologies needed, friend Lothor. I didn't handle the situation any better myself. I am glad to have a mighty warrior such as yourself at my side today and any day coming."
