Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: just an inbetween
Yes, so far things were going smoothly. Draven came and went with his usual shady rudeness, and regarded the group from the bar, a mug of Troglodite's Tears™ in his hand. He was not bothering them, and they left him alone.
Elessarae was quickly convinced she had found the group she had been looking for. She could not know for sure, but they fit the description and appeared civilized enough. Plus, Comrade or Moon Shadow by his new and more mature name, seemed at ease, which was always a good sign.
The barkeeper brought their drinks as conversation went on. After introductions the topic changed, and the bladesinger revealed her fears to the group. But she wished to remain silent until the town's druid came by. After a few minutes they were still the only ones in the inn. Geim went over to fetch Draven, and found he was not the first one.
Gothard, Loda's wolf drinking companion was already sitting at the warrior's feet, begging for a sip of the strong ale. Whether Draven abided Geim's request or not, the innkeeper told them he would go get the town's druid or one of the elders.
Ten minutes later, he had not returned yet. Perhaps it was better to speak now, and repeat the story once the druid had arrived?

true, but perhaps there are things that people want to say without town officials involved?
It's not like my update is bound now by Saturday, since this is conversation only. I would like to wait until monday or so to post that these people arrive. Because I want you guys to carry this conversation. It's important.

I'm sure you've ALL met at some point, but the question is how involved you were in each other's lives. If Llammoth was a student of stealth, she would not have been seen much at the orphanage at later age. Although normal stealing doesn't happen anymore at the orphanage, there are plenty of other things involved for rogues to enjoy.

Topic: What kind of new game should I run?
Subject: hey!
Hey! An all Goblin party was my next idea for a short adventure in Audalis, for when Filthy Thief is over. But you can take it, if you want, because I've got many other ideas going on. 
I think that's the one you should be going for. But I wouldn't make it a reverse dungeon, because that one is more tactical, and tactical is pretty hard in play by post dnd.
Give players a chance to make evil characters

Topic: yet another movie thread...
Subject: haha
I just read an alternate theory about this Cloverfield movie, and I must urge you all to watch the movie before reading it, otherwise there is no fun in either.
follow this link, but you'll have to log in to imdb.com. If you don't want to do this, I'm sorry, but you can't read it.
alternate theory
Read only the last three paragraphs of the first post, the rest isn't interesting enough to waste time on.

Topic: yet another movie thread...
Subject: Cloverfield
We just came back from watching Cloverfield, and I would LOVE to see it again Right now!
I thought that it was very well done, although it doesn't answer many question.
Cloverfield is a crossbreed between Blair Witch and Godzilla. I don't want to spoil the fun here, so let me just tell you that it lifts itself above other monster movies by the reality of everything that's happening. The shaky handheld camera is something to get used to, but enhances the experience because you're on the edge of your seat not to miss anything.
I agree that the beginning of the movie is somewhat boring, but absolutely necessary for character bonding. Also, it heightens the action that follows, and stops at the exact moment you're consciously tired of it.
The monster itself looks like something that ran away from a Studio Gibli movie (Princess Mononoke, or Spirited Away).
The acting is good. There was not a single moment that a scene felt unnaturally performed. You have to keep reminding yourself that somewhere there had to be a director that said 'cut' and 'one more time'. It just feels real.
I figured out how the movie would end within the first half hour, and if you pay close attention to the way the film is portrayed, so will you. It didn't come as a shock to me, but I think not everybody will like it.
We had a great time watching this movie. It's more like an experience than a story. Much like Blair Witch was. Only, this one is 100 times better.
Funny thing: it was only when the credits started rolling that I realized there had been no music to enhance the tension. Of course there was no music, because it was supposed to be a documentation. But where so many monster movies rely on tension building tones, this one totally didn't need any.
Go watch this in theaters, and don't wait for the DVD release.

Topic: The Chakran Portal - Q/A
Subject: well
Malius offered the ring to Draven while on horseback. So during traveling. There's no way that Draven wasn't there. On another note: I'm pretty sure everybody in the party would've heard, and none of the other reacted to it either. Perhaps you can alter your post a bit so that Draven either declines or accepts?
That would be nice.
And Tann, don't always jump into the negative over these kind of things ok? People can misread or misinterpret over the internet easily. I'm sure Valimar didn't mean any harm.

good posting, guys, although now I'm wondering if I should update this weekend, or give you all some more time to get aquainted... there's a load of stuff you need to talk about. So unless I see a whole lot of posting between now and Saturday morning, I will not update this weekend, or at least not anything that will move the adventure further.

Subject: hehe
well, one look at the dates of posts could've told you that this is fresh. But the spot we were asking for has been filled.
Lucky you: another one just opened up this week! So if you're still interested, so are we. I suggest you read the game thread (only a couple of pages yet), and see if you're interested. If you are, you're just in time for the real deal. Introductions have just been made, and the actual adventuring is about to begin!
So far we have:
Stryke - Kastor the Barbarian
Suicidolt - Percifeer the Sorceress
Drakar - Athur the Fighter
Ayrn - Pio Erosa the Knight
Philosopher - Llammoth the Rogue
So we could definately use a cleric or another non-fighter class. If you choose to be a cleric, the most prominent God would be Falloes.
Let me know what you want by posting here or writing me a PM.
One more thing that I cannot underline too much is: No evil characters please!

yes, I didn't think we need an extra player per se. Let's do it with what we got, and let's get this thing going!!!
I would like some replies to Llammoth's arrival, and then I'll update, ok?

Subject: one down
We've also lost Vorrioch to real life issues. I don't want to, but perhaps I need to find another replacement?
What do you guys think?
In ANY case, I would like to act like Vorrioch's character was never in the game. We've only just started, so that shouldn't be such a problem. I can't think of a possible reason, besides death, why Alexandro would leave this quest.

Topic: You Filthy Little Thief!!!
Subject: no convo
Percifeer called out to the little girl, curious to know why she had been stared at. But Olivia didn't reply, either oblivious to the sorceress' call or pretending she didn't hear it.
Pio came with a plausable suggestion, and it sounded like a good one. But before anybody else could sprout another idea, a call came from downstairs. It was Ormander, and his voice boomed joyously.
"Llammoth! Your brothers and sisters are already upstairs. I hope you don't mind if I give you a brief version of what happened?"
Seconds later footfall on the stairs told them company was coming up. Then Ormander showed up, with a half-orc by his side who most of them remembered: Llammoth 'the whisper'. One of the most silent shadows the orphanage had ever known. Ormander remained with them during the meetings and short description of plans so far, but after that returned to his duties downstairs, so that the party could continue their brainstorming.

Subject: too much
we have enough players to keep this going. I'm glad that I don't have to type out his seperate character thread. It would've been some time before he would join you all.
I don't want a replacement either because it's been proven that taking over somebody else's character is difficult. Brianna is doing a great job with Geim, and Kaelyn is doing well with Thondrek, but he got to alter him completely.
Besides, now we don't have to wait on Vidar's player to post.

I don't think we're ever going to see Vidar's line continue. Skari-dono created him and gave him up and I don't want a replacement. I could delete the character, but I won't, since he was a part of this adventure.

Remember that your characters would not speak in +1 terms, cause they don't measure armor in rating.

I noticed one post by Dragon M after another. I'm sure it's Brianna posting, but you two seriously need to learn to use the logout button to prevent misunderstandings .
Anyway, I would appreciate it if Brianna could post this under her own account. Thanks
And where are everybody else's posts?
