We're moving forward again.

Post away. I'll likely be posting no later than next Sunday.

Sorry for the delays.

OK. So I'll be posting this weekend to move us forward. Thanks for the post, Raven.

On a side note, since Trek died I'll be starting another Punk adventure after this one. I know Tann's interested even if Croaker bites the bullet, anyone else?

Wait did you say even if Croaker dies

Ok I did not like the sound of that so does that mean I bite the big nuggie????????.

I would prefer Croaker as he is me to a T (or how I would be in that type of future) But if he dies, hope he does not, but if he dies yeah I will still play.

I warn ya though most likely be another gun lover like the Croak so be warned . Too bad no magic a Combat Mage would be fun...............

Absolutely....

I would love to be a part of the other game.

As far as Croaker biting the big one... ah.. he is named Croaker.. I mean it sounds like it is written in the stars with a name like that!

Insert evil grin here

Croaker is actually a slang term for a doctor. Not necessarily in the nomad's case, but in reality it is. If I remember correctly, our Croaker was named after a comic book character, or something similar.

As for dying...we'll just have to wait and find out how much the dice like you. I only planned for a few of the characters to die (maybe sixty-five percent), and I am not telling you which. Muahahahahahaha-ahem.
OK so I've posted for everyone this time except Sui. Hey, Sui! You alive still?

I look forward to the continuation.

Awesome!

Drakar! What happened, man? That was some absence.

Glad to hear you're in, Raven.

I want to give some more people the opportunity to post, so I'll likely address the game later this evening, or tomorrow.

I posted about it in comings

I posted about in the comings so rather then repeat it I guess I will point there. I only posted this one here because I wanted the personal touch since I really liked your game and it is still going when I got back so it kind of seemed right to also appologize here. Wasn't a planned thing so kind of unexpected.

I appreciate that.

Well, I kinda just stopped writing Lightning into the posts unintentionally. But he's still with the group at the facility, having been captured with the others. So, you are welcome to join the game again.

I might

I might I have a bit to read though from what I can see. It is nice to be back and to feel up to roleplaying. I was afraid that you all were pretty mad at me for disappearing I tried not to but people didn't want to tell what happened even I don't feel alright talking about it most of time.

K after reading all that has happened for the most part while I was gone I will need info on my char again I remember him somewhat but not sure where sheet is and a pm containing the jist of those things I should know that aren't in the posts mostly about my capture and where I am if I have said anything how much they have learned from me since I prob rambled on the stuff in the room if I answered at all that is stuff like that. I am as interested as when I first joined this game and cant wait to return since you will have me Brom. Thx for the second chance.

Scratch part of that I found my sheet so only need to know about changes to it.

This weekend

I apologize for the delays folks. I will post this upcoming weekend. But I'm hoping for posts from Sui, Freeway, Drakar, and Raven before I do. I need to apologize as well: Drakar joined with Lightning at the same time as MDK but with Drakar's disappearance I kinds forgot about Lightning. Now, I don't see him as having been able to change the course of things so we don't have to worry about that. For the sake of future posts please just consider Lightning as having tagged along with Bull's Eye and Firewind in silence. Cool, Choombattas? Cool.

The Origin of Croaker

The name Croaker came from a series of fantasy novels dealing with a company of mercs known as the Black Company written by author Glen Cook. The series combines elements of epic fantasy and dark fantasy as it follows an elite mercenary unit, The Black Company, through roughly forty years of its approximately four hundred year history.

Croaker started out funny enough as the Company's doctor and historian, also the narrator of the novels but due to combat losses rose to become the Black Company's leader along with the Company's once employer, then Lover, a once evil Sorceress called The Lady, once Wife of the Dominator.

The world of the Black Company is shaped by events that occurred long before the time of the first novel. A powerful wizard called the Dominator had created a brutal empire, assisted by his sorceress wife, known as the Lady, and ten enslaved magical rivals, the Ten Who Were Taken or just Taken. Eventually the Domination was overthrown by a rebellion led by the White Rose. Not powerful enough to kill any of them, she had all 12 buried alive and partially asleep in the remote Barrowland, with magical enchantments to keep them bound.

Much later, a wizard named Bomanz awoke the Lady in an attempt to learn from her, but was tricked into releasing her from her imprisonment. She freed the Taken and bound them to her will, but kept her insane husband in his tomb. The Lady rebuilt the empire, but her rule is less heavy-handed than that of her spouse.

Its a really great series that I highly recommand to everyone with a love semi dark fantasy.
Below is a list of all the published novels and from what I hear 2 more novals are in the works so I look forward to thier release one day.
