OOC Discussion

I think a quick rest is in order, and keeping the elf alive is probably best done using the renewable resource of lay on hands, rather than a potion.

Muhahahahaha?

Finish searching the cottage then, and then let’s withdraw outside the village for a day to rest.

ok, lay handos on elf, go outside the town, rest, go under the temple. you have my vote.

Have we lost Bobloblah?

​Yeah, now I'm getting pessimistic.

bob is in a PBP on  another board with me, and a few others. A friend of his there has stated that he has been doing a lot of work involving international travel and tight deadlines. I'm going to keep an eye here, but..... we'll see :)

Yeah, sorry folks. I fell off the face of the earth there for a while. It was a confluence of the aforementioned work and international travel, combined with a number of serious personal issues. Some of the workload and personal stuff has been resolved, so I'm back.

I know it's been ages, but if anyone is interested in continuing, I'm game. Just make a quick post here, and if we have enough people back, we'll continue...

Welcome back! I for one, vote to 'get to it'.

Thanks. Woot!

I had started to wonder if an accident had befallen you. Glad to see that is not the case!

I’m game for more punishment!

Welcome back!

I, for one, am always in favor of stabbing elves.

Still here!  Worse, so is Hengist, ready to kill all the right people for all the wrong reasons!

Excellent! I'll send PMs to the others, just in case they're not subscribed...

Not Gwydion, though, I hope!

What do you mean?  Gwydion's just people, right?  Elves are made from shadows and stardust and mainly come out at night.  /Hengist

Okay, I'm going to start posting again tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

;-)

We’ll see. The campaign is young :^)

Two things:

First, I wonder if we might learn something by trying to remove the gag from its mouth. Risky, I admit, but given that I am not attached to Gwydion in the least, I would be willing to try.

Second, I think this may put to rest any ideas about these Elves being good guys unless they captured this thing from bad guys (I carefully avoid THE bad guys) and were trying to figure out what to do with it.

At a minimum, let’s fortify the door and windows as well as clear fields of fire in the main room so archers have some protection in case of a main assault. We should also gather water in any handy barrels and buckets along with some blankets to give us some limited protection against fire. Anyone have some ideas about traps? Lastly, we should be better prepared than the Elves to escape out the back if need be.

So, if you're staying in the home and fortifying it, how exactly will you prepare? There is a rainbarrel outside near a corner of the building with a ladle and a small wooden bucket beside it. The main room has a table, a few chairs and a bench, and a cupboard comtaining simple clay dishes. A hearth stands on one wall. There a single door at the front of the home, along with two windows facing on to the street. There is a wooden ladder, of sorts, that can be used to climb into the loft; it isn't attached to anything. The loft contains several simple bedsteads with straw-filled mattreses and woolen blankets, plus the blanket-box that contained the corpse.
