Odd, firefox is accepting flautist as a word, and I've been playing flute since I was eight and have never heard anyone call it anything but a flautist.

My browser (just called browser) the default ice cream sandwich web browser, accepts both flutist and flautist as correct. Its probably more about the language that is set, i'm set to English (United Kingdom) which means i get to correctly spell armour colour.

So we have unnatural storms blowing in from directly along the east road (the swamps) that have been here for several days, and a ministrel who has been here for several days...

Minion of the shadow keeping watch for us in case we come this route?

I apologize for the short notice on this...

I will have to go on a temporary hiatus of an undetermined length so that I can deal with a family matter either today or tomorrow. I will try to continue posting, but it will be incredibly sporadic, as I will not have easy access to the internet. If you wish to drop me or NPC me while I am gone I completely understand.

I will NPC you if it becomes neccesary (combat would be about the only thing that would require it). In the meantime, you'll just be a bit quiet.

Best of luck with your family issue.

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm hoping for some more interaction with the bartender....

and I don't want to post again IC as Heilan would be disagreeing with Teene and I don't want my character to be consistantly the first person doing so :P

Last chance for cooked breakfast for weeks or set off early.... Hmm, let me think about that...

Joan, meanwhile, has no problem with disagreeing, and certainly likes the idea of a prepared breakfast.

Yes....eat breakfast....so the evil minstrel can team up with the evil innkeeper and the evil cook to poison you all, all while calling in evil weather.

You make it too easy :-p

Bah, that it too easily foiled, we have a cleric we ask for a blessing over our breakfasts, one cast of purify food and drink later and we are covered.

Okay, so I have to convince the cleric to be evil....I'm sure glad there are no magical ways to compel people to do things they wouldn't normally do....that would make life very difficult for the party if their cleric was being magically compelled to try to kill them.

Compulsion can't make a person do something they wouldn't do. You'd have to magically change his alignment first, and then he wouldn't be a Cleric until he atoned from... a different cleric.

you're right....easier to just off him and replace him with a doppleganger or something.

Besides, someone powerful enough to make a CLERIC fail a will save should just cast Dominate on the whole party.

An alternative ploy would be to deceive someone that the rest of the party have been killed and replaced by evil dopplegangers.

It's only been three pages into the game and you're saying Heilan and Teene disagree all the time.
We might need a couple more pages (and arguements) to confirm this.

I can't help but think that I'm in a vastly different time zone from the rest of you, judging by the fact that the discussion regarding the leader started when I was soundly asleep. Not that I'm complaining, just mentioning.

I have chronic insomnia. I haven't slept in 2 days. I'm just saying we might be in the same time zone, as when it came up it was about 4 am here.

I'm currently in GMT +1, because for some reason we add an hour to the time in the summer.

In the winter I live in GMT +0.

Oh boy, I'm gone for half the day and the conversation has ran off without me.

As for the time zone situation, I live in GMT -6. Which makes me wonder if I'm the odd one out.

Not that there was an issue with him; in fact, he seemed quite capable, it's just that she would do equally well, at least! Rado would be her saving grace, however.

"A trial run, so to speak, sounds like a good idea, Rado. Rest assured, Vassikyn, that I say this not out of distrust in your abilities, but merely to find the best leader. I'm sure that there are other here that would serve well as leader!" With her last statement, Joan is very careful to take up a pose that makes her look larger and more imposing, while simultaneously attempting to look as elegant as possible. The effect doesn't really work, but she doesn't seem to notice.
Heilan of course assumed that Joan was talking about him being another candidate for leader...

This is mostly because of the efforts taken to portray Joan as young and in-experienced, Heilan wouldn't consider a stripling for the job of leader, that is for a veteran.

Of course he did. Nor would I recommend Joan as a leader, but she feels as though her schooling, which was quite thorough (as far as she's concerned) and recent means she's got the best qualifications. She is young and lacking experience, and while she'd probably do a passable job at leading for a while, she'd probably snap under pressure.

Which could be fun in its own way, of course.

Anyway, I'm in GMT-4, until daylight savings time ends. Eastern time, so I guess I'm not too far away from Tech and huyneo.
