Chapter 7: Q&A / Discussion

[Dave W.]

Sorry Rejdar, we can do nothin' for ya son... If he wanted a proper burial, he should have got himself killed in summer...

(sorry too much True Grit)

I'm good with dumping Rejdar and moving on.

[Darren]

Streko nods at Rejda. "May Olladra grant you a death worthy of your deeds."

Nice, Joe. I love it!

[Ken]

Sheesh, you guys have been busy since I posted at 1 a.m.!

Hey, Jeff, um ... we never really did open the coffer, did we?

Belarin has no objections to showing Varna the letter and the coffer, but I'd like to know ahead of time if Varna is going to embarrass us by asking, "Did you open this?"

[Darren]

We did, Ken. Look at the post that Jeff linked to where the letter is, then scroll down (and possibly to the next page). It had 5 platinum in it as well as some kind of gem.

[Ken]

Ah, thanks, Darren. And a big duh for me, as I had linked the URL for the letter in my previous post! (I really shouldn't do much thinking after midnight!)

[Brian]

Mike:

Also, as Syrdan stated earlier, he'd prefer that getting the scabbard wait for a bit.

Okay, since this is the second time Mike's asked me to wait on getting the scabbard, I'm going to assume he has a reason for it. So I'll wait on the scabbard. Let's go check out our meeting place.

[Dave W.]

Btw, Jeff, nice with the "meant to be" philosophy twist.

[Jeff]

Oh, I always toss that stuff in. Eberron is a morally gray setting, and I embrace that. But I think the struggle of choice vs. destiny is inherent to any campaign that involves the Draconic Prophecy.

Oops.  Dave and I simul-posted....

just so you all don't think Adamant's lost his mind... I probably wouldn't have asked if only one npc showed up. But Addy would like to know which of the two is really Z.

"Setting aside for the moment, our personal injury claim..."

I love that. Nicely done, Dave.

[Dave W.]

I think we're coming up on the 'Unconscious' part of Chapter 7: Unconscious Revelations....

[Jeff]

"My friends, to the patio! How far is the jump?"

Joe, the "patio" is the same thing as the balcony, the little private dining area that everyone's in right now. If you're referring to the open ledge that looks out over the park, that seemed at least a 20 ft. drop. But that side, like everyone else outside the open-air dining space you're in, seems to be dimming.

[Brian]

Darren:

Either Jeff is just trying to kill us, or this won't ACTUALLY kill us.

I seriously doubt the former. The game would get very boring if we were all dead. I'd suggest we stop the heals. I don't think anything we do is going to help. Like it or not, we are all going on a cruise. Condign wants a bunk near a porthole. I think he gets seasick.

[Ken]

It is looking that way, isn't it? Belarin won't be happy.

And now that Jeff has mentioned it in game, yes, Belarin isn't dead or even injured. His body is out cold. His mind, though, ah.....! Let's just say that Belarin is rediscovering that a pact with faeries has continual pros and cons.

[Dave W.]

speak for yourselves guys... The gas doesn't seem to affect Adamant. I think this is Jeff's way of clearing the stage as he prepares for the newly renamed DE campaign: Addy's Aliterative Adventures!

[Darren]

You guys have no idea how many times Jeff has tried to kill Kal....

Dave's right on the money.

Except with the name. It's actually going to be a new warforged-centric campaign called The Woolgathering Warforged, or maybe The Zany Adventures of Adamant the Adhamant. Or maybe Adam Ant vs. XTC.

By the way, the next game-within-a-game will be: guess which NPC will be the new PC.

New player: Shhhh, not time for you to take a bow just yet. I'll cue you.

[Brian]

My guess for the mysterious beaner-boy was the toughie that our failed professor had with him. However, since we may be part of a galley full of ne're-do-wells, it could be up for grabs.

[Ken]

I almost suggested yesterday that we move ahead to the "unconscious" part, but then we wouldn't have gotten Dave's great post last night. Adamant is cool. He deserves his own series on Disney. (Speaking of animation, why is there a half-naked cartoon woman in the ad above asking to be dressed?)

To Beaner (yes, I know who he/she/it is, but not his/her/its PC-to-be), keep in mind that when Belarin made a similar pseudo-NPC appearance during my DE intro, Kal told another PC to get ready to shoot him with a ballista bolt. Just sayin'....

[Darren]

Well, he looked at Kal the wrong way. You know how Kal gets. He's...let's say....ornery.

;D
