Putting asides getting the name incorrect, I suggest you re-evaluate your position and the way you come across to other people. As it is, you're acting like an insufferable know-it-all that expects everyone to perceive you in the best light possible, when you have not given them any reason to.

Words are delicate. Well, not words themselves, but the manner in which they are used. Even if your intents are good, saying and doing the wrong things causes the situation to deteriorate rapidly. Don't think about how you want to come across; consider how one would react to what is said. After all, words are capable of more damage than any blade.

For misspelling.

As for N'tel'Quess copies of the Elven Grey Company lists:

N'Tel'Quess not of the people (drow & others)
quessir people(elves), or elven people

From what I understand the phrase means not of the Elven People. That is what I meant when I used it. Not the Linnix was not of the people-in general.

As for Drow-Elven mythology, the story of the cursing of the Drow and of Elistraee has gotten changed in a number of publications. In the first D&D books there was no Elistraee and Lolth was not Coreellon wife. So if there is something different of them for the Forgotten Realms, maybe, those in the know (hint, Hint, Kaylen) can give us the way it should to be. With you as a Drow and I as an elf, there would be some tilting of th actuals facts, but we should know how Kaylen wants the mythology to go in his world. I do not have a FR book on Deities so I can not look it up.

Heaven knows what they did to the deities in the 4th addition.

HEHEHEHEHE

As for finger converstations I play in a WOT game where Maidens of the Spear have an entire language, and not just a group of signals that the other of the Aiel people use. I can tell you that being able to hold a conversation, even with tied hands, in silence is really fun.

Egads! Whoever decided what would happen to the FR deities between 3 and 4 should be locked up to atone for his/her/their sins.

I don't remember much as I don't pay attention to much of this sort of thing, but I do recall one thing in particular- that Tyr ended up killing Helm in a jealous rage over Tymora. Seriously boys and girls/gods and goddesses, grow up. Anyway, I'll not even pretend that was related to the Q&A, even because I mentioned Helm and head off now.

Ah...please don't get me started about 4th ed. FR...it makes me want to cry.... :-/

Anyway, I can send you a pdf or two regarding Eilistraee in FR if you like.

The basics of the FR mythology are that Araushnee was Corellon's wife. She was known as the weaver of fates etc. But she was an ambitious sort and together with Vhaerun (and by manipulating Ghaunadaur) she tried to seize control of Arvandor and the Seldarine. For that she was cast out of the elfy love-fest (this is before there were any elves on Faerun). And became known as Lolth.

Eilistraee was blameless in this regard, but, apparently she inadvertently aided Lolth (also her mother), and so felt a little guilty.

Much later...when the first great elven kingdoms were up and running, the Crown Wars occurred (series of elf on elf wars that raged for about 3000 years roughly 15000 years before the 'present'). The climax of the wars were the destruction of all of Miyeritar (a dark and green elf country) by Aryvandaar (sun elves) who basically scoured the whole land and killed everyone by using some mega-magic.

That resulted in Ilythiir (another dark elf kingdom) seeking retribution, and in their quest they ended up drifting towards the anti-Seldarine for help - and so many became corrupted. They in turn then used fire to burn the lands of other elves and consort with demons. Which...resulted in the Seldarine intervening and marking the dark elves as dheraow (traitors).

The story is much more long and convoluted than that, but that's the basics of it.

Oh and don't forget that afterwards Tyr tops himself. ...

*grumbles about Hasbro destroying the face of gaming as we know it...'First Tyr, and then the world!'...*

Just noticed one thing I missed on Aelistae's sheet.

She has 2 wands of Cure Light Wounds. One was a wand that Xaris found (back in the ogre cave) with 28 charges, and the other one was formerly Loriel's which had all 50 charges.

Aelistae has used a lot of those charges up, though, and she'll probably use a lot more in healing everyone. I'll try and go back and make a running total of how many charges she's spent.

Ah, it seems Kaelyn was way ahead of me and did that already.

But even still she does have 2 wands, one with 28 charges and the other with 27.

Thanks for the information, Ginafae it helps.

Currently all horses Npcs' and PC's are healed to max excluding Brownyn Elendil and Fate..

Aelistae's wand is empty and Loriel's wand is down to 16 charges..
I've issued a stop post until I can get bart to speak up.

From a discussion over MSN between Ginafae, and Jozan1, Kaelyn and me, we've decided to bring up the need for names again, specifically for the main party and the keep.

Since the keep is located within the Starspire mountain range, we've tentatively decided upon the name of Starspire Refuge for the keep.

At the same time, the keep provides an apparent unifying factor for the main group, being the location in which we can be based. There's a number of variations on the name for it, but basically, they have the format of 'The _____ of Starspire' (or, by rearrangement, 'The Starspire _____')

The best suggestions we came up with were:

The Alliance of Starspire
The Communion of Starspire
The Fellowship of Starspire
The Lights of Starspire

Alternatively, if we wanted to, we could use Sib-kun's previous suggestion (it'll have to be updated, of course):

The Splendiferous Team Roughly Led by a Drow, the Members of Which Include an Albino Super Gnome, a Warlock, a Human Eillistreean, A Half-Elven Woman-Who-Survives-Burning-Buildings-By-Leaping-Out-Windows, and Some Sort of Musician; Former Members Include Fey Bards, Worshipers of Pelor, a Woman of the Forest, and a Wizard and Her Gecko; Sponsered by Bart, Your Friendly Neighbourhood Farmer.

Obviously, there's many other options, but please post comments/suggestions and which one you like for the main party as well as for the keep.

How about the "Starfire Company?" for the main party and Starfire keep for the keep itself.

I stopped an laughed when I saw that the keep was declared the 13th outpost. As if that was merely coincidental ^-^.

As for the name, it's Star-spire, not fire. For those of us who may have read too fast to discern. XD

I like the Starspire Refuge- that one caught my attention when I saw it.

As for the group, the Lights of Starspire (maybe even include the keep name, Refuge, here) seems to be my favourite.

hehe, but anywho, sibs suggestions fancy my liking as does the name of the keep.

I think Starspire Refuge is really good too.

And I like 'Lights of Starspire'. It sounds suitably heroic and uplifting (at least to me).
