I just felt like mentioning that Willow and her small dragon's horde worth of gold and platinum will remain unspent for now.

...As if I really needed to go out and make a post for that.

Seems as though Dusk got waylaid- I'm sure everyone else has noticed by now, but that was last Thursday night he promised XD. I wonder whether he is going to start getting violent with the th' Druid. I wonder if there is anything else I could post to revive the semblance of movement and life to the main thread. I wonder how long it will be before we start getting butchered by Linsemptus Scouts. I wonder what's for supper. Yes, I'm just a wonderous person ain't I?

I was just about to say that I was waylaid by the bandits of work and school over the weekend and while I did sit down and start, I needed time to think about this. I have time this afternoon, though, and I will get something in then, after Lab.

Its just a difficult situation to remain IC and nice.

I actually did that about 12 hours ago, but it must've not had a post title. Good thing I still had it saved, lul.

Been fippin' bacl and forth through the Q&A thread to find the reference as to weapon costs (or lack of them). I though I had seen something claifying that.

I can no longer find it, so I'll ask: Was there a mention of obtaining from the Armory free, or will there be a charge for what we choose (if we choose) from said Armory?

(projected) Post will contain:

If "free":
Tersoal will look in the Armory for magical staff (or staves). He will be looking for a Staff of Passage. Is one available in the Armory?

If not available, he'll look for magical bolts for his crossbow ...

If NOT "free", or after he returns from the Armory:
Ters will turn to Dusk and offer to attempt to identify at least some functions of the item he is curious about, at no charge. After all, he's one of the "company". What you have, you gift, if you can ...

I, too, would like tos see this get underway, and my forgetfulness has helped cause unnecessary delay. Will post soonest after answer ...

Why do all my NPC's have to be the ones to make the loud sounds of destruction? I thought Manalagna and Dusk were a few seconds away from being the 'comic relief' for us.

I suddenly have a bad feeling about the life expectancy of my team...

Anyway, hopefully we can return the posting frequency up to a level where we are playing the game again. Particularly since we are now so close to actually starting (characters introduced, check; characters given motive, check; characters met each other, check. The last check we have is 'characters adventuring together')

Now let us go! Else I smite some one with Hammer (that's right, not a hammer; Hammer)

And don't any of you call me a hypocrit when I don't post right away next week, university is doing a very good job of occupying my free time.

If you'd like to have the technical term, you are effectively requisitioning the equipment from the Council, which means that you pay nothing for them, and are effectively borrowing them.

There would not be a magical staff in the armoury, as that is a far more potent item that would have to be asked for directly. (with only a something-percent chance of one actually being available)

Ammunition of course is quite available, so feel free to choose bolts for yourself. (with a maximum of 30 units of ammunition for each player)

And I wouldn't worry about your squad Sib; Dev might make comic relief now and then with things he'll do, but when things get serious, he'll be a fairly strong ally. Likewise with the rest of the group (with the exception of Mist, who's always serious).

Kaelyn told me he'll get to this in a little while, but where are the other two?

Wyrmsting, Hammer... wakey wakey ^_^

keeping me from being as cretive as I'd like..
And the excessive heat this week has been pretty draining on top of it, but yep, I'll work on it.

Should we consider NPCage of the PCage for the sake of moving on? You could allow Hammer to back-post his equipment gathering/sloughing/etc. I wish Dusk had been NPC'd during my summer absence. Would've made things less slow here.

BTW was what I did legal there with the armoury stuff?

Well, there's something that I can do quite easily regarding their absence... I just never thought I'd have to do so in a forum game.

And yes, I don't see anything wrong with what you put Vilyamar... but I'd appreciate if you reacted to Akihiko, Mitsuru or the person coming up from behind the group (assuming they're facing Akihiko and Mitsuru); you don't need to, of course, since you did post, but maybe that'll spur Wrymsting and Hammer? Hmm...

I'll PM them and give them a deadline to respond (to the PM at least if they get writer's block or something)

The deadline is October 5th for them to respond.
NOTE: Responses received to the PM.

I also realize I have not responded to one question, and the answer is no, there is no 'Staff of Passage' in the armoury; a staff of that sort is not a weapon or armour in the conventional sense, and therefore isn't there.

Gives me something to do. I'll make another post in reaction to their entrance.

Could you perhaps do the identify thing with Tersoal since I got the reagent and Wyrmsting posted here that he would perform the spell?

cover that when I update... hopefully after everyone else posts *goes to look up what Identify reveals*

3 weeks ago they cut our sports dept from 4 to 2 of us and tonight I got home an hour ago!

I will have an answer one way or another for you on Sunday which is the Deadline you PMed me!

No Hard Feelings ... Just Extremely Stretched ... and I have admittedly lost track of the flow of this adventure!

Went in to work early this morning and once again the Server was down and no internet or wire services and I had to wait 2.5 hours for the IT to come to the office to get things up and running so I could do my job!

Perhaps on Thursday I can at least read up on what has been posted and make a decision by Sunday!

Alright, that's really what the deadline was on actually: either an explanation, notice, or post to the game just to see if you were still there.

Post when you can, and hopefully we'll be able to get going... I'm also waiting on Kaelyn, so I'll try not to put up an actual deadline for game posts unless there's only one person missing. I think that's acceptable...

As I said, this deadline was primarily confirmation that you are there.

You missed regarding this in your update, Hammer, but my most recent update is at the bottom of the previous page (where I've found is usually missed quite often); you in particular might find the proceedings interesting...
