Hey Orb?

Fair warning for the Hunting Grounds.

Your PC is meta-gaming a bit. No fire attacks have been used against the Glacial Dragon yet and he has no way of knowing that fire would be ineffective. The gunslinger's attack was force/lightning based.

Hey, Rebonack, a question about the dragon in the Hunting Grounds. Would it be entirely unaffected by normal guns and such?

A chunk of metal thrown at the dragon really fast and punching a hole in an organ is probably the best way to injure a Glacial Dragon.

Ideally you would want something like an anti-tank rocket. A shaped charge designed to explode a hole through heavy armor. That would make the big monster's day horrible in a hurry.

Remember, his scales are only about as strong as steel. That's impressive, but his main form of defense comes from the fact that thermal-based attacks don't work well on him.

Sadly, I very much doubt the triplets could have gotten their hands on a rocket launcher, what with them being precisely identical to the thugs who robbed the Nexus's top weapons supplier just a few months ago. That sorta reputation tends to get you on a lot of blacklists.

^ Isn't Wenomir trying to be the "best" swordsman or something? Seems to me that if someone was training towards a goal like that, the best place to do it would be in a savage wild-lands full of dangerous beasts, where any worthy foe you defeat would be resurrected more or less harmlessly.

Hey Icekiller!

If you want to get Kyinde and Xalicus back into things, the Tieflings they met in the DFI have a plot of sorts going on, and I'm sure room of some sort could be found in it for them.

Posting may be slow tonight. I decided to reactivate my account on a wiki I'm part of, only to find that all sorts of drama has gone on in the year or so since I effectively stopped editing there, so I'm slowly trying to piece together what exactly has gone on, which is taking up time I'd otherwise be using here.

Now, see, Enola's main strategy at this point is to shoot enough holes in his wing membranes so that he can't fly. She figures it'll be easier to take him on when he's grounded.

Thanks! Since Xalicus is probably hanging around the Inn, he'll probably fall into it one way or another whether he likes it or not. Or perhaps especially if he doesn't like it. That's the way things go for him.

As for Kyinde, she may or may not get involved depending on whether or not something else interesting happens elsewhere first.

Indeed. The SMBG and Free-Form Roleplaying forums are my main hangouts, especially SMBG. I feel more comfortable in the relaxed atmosphere or while in-character.

You're welcome! And that depends on if either of them get there before the Tieflings head off to Riverside.

I saw. I had some stuff to do right after you did, though, and then I had to figure out if Spreagadh could tween out of the way or not. Post should be up soon.

Also, I think it's your turn in the Nest?

So... Since I'll be off for several hours fairly soon, I've made a list of people who I know I need to post for, am uncertain if I need to post for them or not, or need some sort of clarification on before posting. If everyone in the latter two categories could let me know, please?

Oops. I knew about that one, but I forgot to list it... Will Eadin, at least, be approaching Charon? Whether or not he says his bit affects what I post.

You could always try starting the plot somewhere else in riverside C'nor. Like southside, eastside or northside.

About this, I think it's probably best if you draw someone else into the plot. Investigative plots have never been my thing and I'm sure you could find someone that would be happy to take part. Perhaps rather than having to report it to some authority, the person that would do so could run into someone willing to help them? That way you aren't so limited in who can be in the plot.

Okay, that's better! Yes. Absolutely.

Magical powah/bizarrely keen vision/paranormal detection should divulge the spirit's presence straightaway!

And do note that these spirits are in almost every way imaginable dissimilar to Rebo's current portrayal of ghosts and such. Figments of the past and the long dead they are not. They are power without form, grace without vessel, life without ever having lived in the first place.
