Some pretty sweet posts from you guys lately. Nicely done.

I felt the same way after reading the latest round of posts. Very cool work, fellas.

[Dave W.]

Also adding my kudos to all... Everyone's doing good works!

From the 'deleted scenes' section of the Season 8 DVD boxed set of "Dark Echelon" ...

Histra turns back to Belarin and Syrdan, speaking to them directly as if no one else were around. "I require 'the breastbone of a murdered woman, harvested by the supplicant.'" She looks directly to Syrdan at this last part. "You are the supplicant."

"No problem," says Syrdan, eying Histra's breastbone.

[Jeff]

;D

Good one, Mike. And that would inspire a whole number of other deleted scenes.

nice. I'm holding out for Jeff's director's commentary... Well, except that they are always too kind; you never hear them say "that actor was an enormous pain in the ass".

[Jeff]

Yeah, those DVD interviews are suspiciously always full of praise. Most of the actor interviews involve praise of the director. I guess it's like how employers don't want to hear prospective employees badmouthing their old bosses.

[Mike]

Dave, you should check out some of the classic Doctor Who DVDs featuring Lalla Ward. She doesn't mince words when it comes to who she didn't like ... including Tom Baker.

Then again, the commentary on those DVDs tends to be honest, I think, because it's actors, directors, and producers commenting on things they did 20-30 years earlier.

As the morning sunlight filters into the brig

It's still late at night, actually. But we'll be moving on to the next day shortly, anyway.

He uses his Drow-fu to exercise and to draw the eyes of women. He's kinda vain that way.

Very nice, Dave! So if the plans for Love Boat: Eberron don't pan out, there's always The Xen'drik Shore.

[Jeff]

[Dave B.]

I prefer to think more in lines of the Xen'drik Forest and Shorak with his band of not so merry men.

[Jeff]

Looking at the mask and then at Syrdan, it becomes obvious that the skull probably is meant to be an approximation of what lurks beneath Syrdan's flesh.

Cool line, Mike.

[Ken]

"Are you going to finish that?"

Condign cracks me up sometimes. Very nice, Brian.

[Brian]

Thank you, kindly.

[Jeff]

I'm enjoying all this banter.

Make quarterlings and heal the sick."

He glances over at Adamant our of the corner of his eyes...waiting....waiting for it...

;D

Forgive me...I'm in a foul mood and trying to crawl my way out of it. Hope Streko didn't offend too much, he just couldn't help himself.

No need to appologize; I think you'll find I'm pretty hard to offend (Resist Offense 15) and I have deep wells of forgiveness always available on tap (micro-brewed!). If you need help crawling somewhere, well, here's a hand... (except that I"m going to bed soon)... but if I have peace to give, it's yours...

[Mike]

For Dave W.: Just so you know, I'm fine with the sudden switch in direction for Syrdan speaking now with Adamant. It's all good.

[Jeff]

FYI: When you guys are finished talking, I'm ready when you are to jump forward to the next "event."

[Ken]

Ready to move on.

[Jeff]

You sure, Ken?

"Excuse me, gentlemen -- I need to discuss the best options with Shorak."

[Ken]

Yeah, that's something that Dave and I can discuss in character at a later time, once we're closer to Stormreach. For now, we can just say that the deception brainstorming has begun!

[Darren]

Yeah, Kal's falling asleep reading this book....

[Dave B.]

Deception brainstorming? Will that get Shorak more gold? If so let's do it! ;D

I'm for moving on. Although, our characters should probably convene at some point to discuss the potential dangers of the Undead Island.

[Brian]

I'm all set to move on.

[Mike]

Ready to move on.

[Jeff]

Although, our characters should probably convene at some point to discuss the potential dangers of the Undead Island.

Ahh, see, in that case now I shouldn't move on yet to where I was going to. I'll post again in a sec, and give you that opportunity.

[Mike]

Two quick questions, mostly for clarification purposes:

1) We can assume now that all of the PCs are gathered together, yes?

2) Exactly where are we when said discussion takes place?

[Jeff]

(1) Yes.

(2) I assumed the top deck, since Belarin included Sem in the discussion. But if it suits you, Mike, this can be at the brig. In which case it's just Sem, no other NPCs.

[Darren]

So, mechanically, is Kal done with the ritual mastering? I haven't posted anything because I assumed he was still working.
