13 minutes to the start! But we're missing something... Oh, right.

English - Chinese Simple - Chinese Traditional - English - Japanese - English Quote: First, that has a cheaper point; And as for second in that word Don' It possesses; cover' So T which is painted; The amicable letter of s is panic extraordinary. Cleaning it up a bit, we get this: Quote: First, that has a cheaper point; And as for second in that word Don, It possesses; cover SoT which is painted; The amicable letter of s is panic extraordinary.

Alright, that's Level 3, Dantius. Now level him up to 4.

I'll be there. It's a little early, but I'll manage.

Fixed. Not sure if it's the server or the FTP client, but something's screwy; it always has to upload the thing twice. And it got broken in transit, apparently. Originally Posted By: Unattributed I swear, I saw it! A great horned hare the size of a house!

...gah. Really fell behind here. First thing's first, Log is up (and actually has been for a while). There are also quotes from the session: Click to reveal.. (Late quotes) "On the plus side, the wheel isn't on fire." - Iliau "Fortunately, I'm competent enough to cover for your lot's failings." - Xuan "Um... it seems more likely that we'll get hurt if we give you the sword." - Erika "Is someone about to come and kill or maim us?" - Harosh "Why are crazy people always so squirmy?" - Casper Next order of business: The next session is Tuesday the 13th at 7:00 PM EDT (6:00 PM CDT). Hopefully this timezone thing starts straightening out somewhat. I also find it funny that this is once again happening on a Tuesday. Okay, another thing I promised? Perks! Casper: Spirited Throw There's still some of that old knife-throwing skill left in you, when you choose to concentrate. When spending stamina on a knife throw, you gain a slight damage bonus, and are more likely to pierce any unusual defenses an opponent may have. Erika: Stealthy Aggressor Your uncanny abilities with stealth make you a dangerous foe, if you can catch your opponent off-guard. When you catch an enemy unaware, you can choose to use Stealth as your weapon skill for one melee attack. I'm still on the fence about other perks, and want to hold off until I'm sure they're a good fit. Also, Xuan and Erika still need to level their characters. Which brings me to my next point. I'm hereby ruling that if a character earns a level, but the player DOES NOT take the time to level their character prior to the beginning of the next session, that level is LOST. Harsh? Yes. But it's the player's responsibility to check in and level their character, which takes a grand total of 5 minutes. This rule will take effect after the upcoming session, so everyone can still go up to level 4. Also, the map has been updated with two new locations. Phew. Well, see you guys at the next session! It should be good! Originally Posted By: Yealto, Historian The Garth-Torres Feud? Yes, I know of it. The short version is this: A few decades ago, the then-Baron Alec Garth of Ricoto was on his personal yacht when his ship and a small frigate got into a firefight. He was killed, and the yacht sunk. Naturally, the Garth family was not thrilled with this development, but the salt on the wound came when a messenger from the Torres family in Niskos arrived, claiming that the Baron's ship had attacked a merchant ship unprovoked, and that the merchant demanded restitution for the incident. The Garths responded by trying to place an embargo on Niskos until the Torres turned over the offending merchant and paid a sum for the loss of the Baron, the ship, and the valuables aboard. This failed rather miserably, and ever since, it's been a long and bloody history of skirmishes, sea battles, and general competition between the two port cities.

Gah, how did I miss this? Nioca Windows XP Pro [scrub]

...Damn it Dintiradan, my sanity just grew back from hearing Nixak's garbled sentence, and then you go and do that...

I can't describe it, but today, I felt... reborn. Like I had risen from the grave of my past into a bright future. Or maybe it was just lasagna. Either way.

Yeah, this was a session I regretted not subbing for. Then again, I probably would have done something stupid like split up or some such.

We redirect again. (Session starts in 47 minutes)

That's probably the alternate server. (And yes)

Whew. For a moment, I thought this session wouldn't happen. But it did, and everyone levels up! Sadly, this comes with bad news. It seems regular Tuesdays will no longer do. So, the CALENDAR makes its return. Now, to decide some perks...

Nope. But seriously, two players say they'll be there in about 20 minutes... And we've got two more who have seemingly vanished into ether.

...Seeing as the room is currently completely empty, perhaps a reschedule is in order?

One hour out from Session 4. It's just one click away.

In conclusion, hunh? I think it's more how the Blood Marsh team has just been having scheduling problems out the rear and the time between sessions.

Well, the session is Today at 6:00 CDT. See you there! Originally Posted By: Excerpt from the book 'Accounts of the Wandering Demon' "No one's sure why or how this being keeps appearing.

Yay leveling up! I had the answer to what I was spending my level on in five seconds. Also, wow has my character's inventory grown. Whew. You wouldn't know it, but there's actually some things I dropped. And my inventory still doubled in size. Click to reveal.. (Amadan Rayton) AMADAN RAYTON Click to reveal..

ALSO: Whilst in our new house (see the log when it comes out), Esstra (Dikiyoba) and I were discussing where to go from there. Not particularly exciting, but here: Click to reveal.. (Private Chat Log) Esstra: "Hey, Amadan, did you hear the rumors about the kobolds?" Amadan: "Yes, I did. I'm a little surprised there's kobolds out here, though..." Esstra: "Shall we get the others organized to investigate?" Amadan: "That sounds like a plan, but we'll need more information than just knowing there's raids." Dikiyoba: (There's a tavern in this town, right?) Nioca: (Yeah) Esstra: "We can search for more information there. Or we could just head to the farms and see what we find." Amadan: "Good a start as any. My only concern is that we'll once again be heading out into the wilderness in the middle of winter with tons of snow on the ground." Esstra: "We have food this time. And I can summon a tent." Amadan: "Yeah, but..." I look at the others. "A lot of these guys just don't get the wilderness. If it was just me, I wouldn't be concerned, but them..." Esstra: "Well, there will probably be farms for a while." Amadan: "I suppose. Alright, Sawbones knows this town better than anyone else. If you and him got to work on hearing what the people here have to say, I could work on checking in on the farms. Get a head start on what to do next." Esstra: "Are we just leaving Kurex and Alexander here or something?" Amadan: "I can take Kurex with me. I'd rather not have him insulting someone. Alex can go with you, since he seems trigger happy regarding undead, and I'd rather not have to chase him through the woods. Esstra: "I don't know. Splitting up is asking for worse trouble than being out in the weather. Also, I seem to recall you get attacked by random swarms of critters. I think you need the help." Amadan: "I can take care of myself. But if you think we should stay in one group, I suppose that's fine too. Whatever it is, we better decide quick before they become to philosophical."

... OY! BLOOD MARSH PEOPLE! THE SESSION SHOULD HAVE STARTED AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES AGO!

I post a redirect. //roll-dice 1-sides 20 Nioca rolls 1 20-sided die and gets 20. A redirect appears!

Alright, sorry for running so late, but the log is up. Next Tuesday is the next session's date, at the usual time. And everyone levels up. Click to reveal.. (I'm being dogged by quotes) Xuan: "I believe the better question, Illiau, is who we will end up killing before noon." Casper: "I found some snow. It's all over the place." Erika: "You would eat a poor, defenseless dog? One that could be a valuable lead, no less?" Harosh: "Ah, take that, disturber of my sleep!" Cloaked Dragonborn (NPC): "I was expecting someone stronger and less... Odd." Summoned Imp: "WOULD YOU MORTALS STOP SUMMONING ME ON MY DAY OFF?!?" Now on to other business.
