Wow; had a great 4th celebration; hope you all are well.

Ditto,
For both! :)

Thank you Jericho, that was brilliant.

Yep, thanks Valegrim. We don't celebrate it up here (though the base has a fair), Thanksgiving is our American holiday of choice.

throwing my poker in the fire to stir the coals and make this fight more personal for Axe; let his years catch up to him a bit.

And well-done it was! :)

Danny gets a worried look every time Axe starts talking about (to him) 'Ancient' history as if he was there! :)

but he was Danny boy; but he was hehe

Danny makes a good counter to Axe rp wise; nice

Yep.
Axe is probably the best straight man any of my PC's have ever had! :)

I was thinking that with that mini-quest (Kobold) everyone had hit a minor mile-stone? I'll see what that does when I get home tonight?

Also Jericho, if you wish you can change your 'Wanted: DoA' Aspect.

Oops! I forgot! (Again!)
Danny has a letter to deliver. Soon. ;P

I'll be away for the next day, going down to London for the Olympic Athletics.

Should be back by this time tomorrow.

Cool!

Have fun!

A note of warning, I am going to be away at a music festival from Thursday afternoon to Monday afternoon.

Oooh, Hope it's more sane than the ones in New Orleans! :)

Have fun!

Sorry, would loved to have got up another couple of posts.

It's all good. Have the fun, we'll see you when you get back.

Yeppers, enjoy!
And try to keep your hearing intact! Those concerts are WAY over federally approved DB levels! :)

As on vacation last week; back this week; then will be out on vacation again next week. Been having a great time with my relatives from Paris

Awesome! Keep having fun in RL Vale!

Then when that runs out, you can join us again! ;)

I have never been to Carlsbad Caverns in southern NM; looks on the adgenda; is something like the biggest cave system in the world maybe

Never been to Carlsbad either, although I have visited other similar (if smaller) caves in other states.

If I had the chance, I'd go and visit them! Even if just to say I had done so. They're said to be very cool experience.

Have fun! :)

I've been to Carlsbad, live fairly nearby. It's a great place to check out. Especially with the family.

That sounds cool.
Most interesting cave I've seen was the one next to Silver Dollar City.
(Branson, Missouri)

It's cool and all, (Especially when your a kid) but it ain't no Carlsbad! :)

There is a nice cave to visit outside of Tucson and if you get to Austria; visit the salt mines there for sure; you even get to ride an underground boat.

Now that sounds like a family adventure! :)

But with MY luck, I'd end up in Land of the Lost or some such. ;P

Sorry all got locked out of paizo...many thanks to Gary for being super awesome. I'll update in the morning. Glad to hear you had a great holiday Valegrim.

Wow, locked out of,...???

Sounds like there's a story there somewhere! :)

Thanks for letting him back in Gary! :)

will be traveling next week

So; what's next?

Do you want to:

I'm thinking that we should GO and see the lotus blossom buyer in person. Then decide whether to 'convince' him to tell us what he knows, or trick him into leading us to whoever he's mixing lotus juice for. ;)

Just a feeling, our best chance of finding the nuke is to find the hide- out of the dragon-armor dude. What does everyone else think?

Yeah, I admit to being a little lost as to what alls going on, hence my lack of posts having Jericho do anything else. Can I get a recap?

Alright when you get together you discuss what you have learnt and lay out the following:

nice summary; thanks

Heh,
Yes, Thanks DSX, I have so much fun with the banter sometimes, I tend to loose track!

:)

It's cool, I just hope my re-caps don't seem like I'm writing a book or forcing the story in any way. Or worse still spoiling any surprises or discoveries you make.

Naw, your good.
It's hard to spoil any surprises when I keep losing track of what we already know! ;)

So many choices,... how to be in 3 places at once? :)

There's always 'something else'....the players always choose something else.

*shakes fist*

:P

Heheh!

Always expect the unexpected!

Especially when PC's are involved! ;)

Our chief weapon is surprise? :)

Heh, yeah.
It's harder to tell whose more surprised though!

The DM at what we do, or us when it actually works! ;P

Do any of us have knowledge of how government works? I mean, as a player, I'm tempted to declare the dirty bomb threat, credible or no, to be secondary and the means to get government moving up north to a more easily accessible sort of spot -- but Kenneth wasn't a poli-sci major, and further, as a Scot, he's probably not the most enamoured of Downing Street, Commons or Lords... so he may not so much care about the PM and Cabinet -- and how they're suddenly likely within easy reach of all the (more) local nasties.

I am sure you (your PC's) have at least a rudimentary knowledge of the British Governmental System. Do you want a break-down of the basic system, or any pointers?

EDIT: That wasn't meant to sound condescending. Errr sorry if it does.

Oh I'm sure he understands the basic system - he lives there -- I was more thinking about the implications of government being moved north (and thus, put in a place where they could be grabbed and either impersonated or put under some sort of compulsion).

While others might benefit from the overall high-level description of the system, I'm rather familiar with it, other than having a Senate replacing Lords and a Governor General acting on Her Majesty's behalf. :)

Ohmigosh, I never even realized that! Thanks Tilnar!

I wonder how to justify that the PC's realize that, (because I shure didn't see it!) The government personnel are very vulnerable compared to their 'fort' of Downing street!

(And Thank you Dr Who for showing general (Fantasy) layout/security of Downing Street!) ;P

Hey All, sorry so slow, Little busy with being overly-concerned about the hurricane. So far all I have is a little breeze.
(Pray that keeps up!) :)

I'll be back on track tomorrow or the next day. ANyone have a direction they want to go? I'm leaning towards agreeing with Tilnar, even if they DO have a bomb, it's most likely a diversion.

So, we basically have two choices, (Unless I'm missing something else?)

1- we go after the chinese threat, find the armor-dude and hope we can prepare enough ahead of time to neutralize him, maybe even send him back to china.

2- We deal with the ROAB. They also want the girl it looks like, and they probably won't be any nicer to her than the Dragon-dude would.

What do YOU think? ;)

Love the Cardiff reference Tilnar, great stuff and Torchwood reference?

Indeed. :)

heh, Dr Who spinoffs FTW! :)

Just FYI, Danny does NOT have a plan. (By which I mean that his player has no plan!) ;P

Danny is a spur of the moment guy. He'll walk up to the devil and try to sweet talk him out of something, (and possibly succeed!) if he feels there's enough reason to do so. But we're talking about nukes and governments,... he feels a little out of his league.

Now, if we can find this dragon guy, he's perfectly willing to walk in dressed as a waiter and try to serve him a dose of 'go-home' tea! ;D

So, we need to find the dragon guy, and our best lead is the guy who bought the stuff he needs for his special tea, right? It seems like our best bet is to find the purchaser, and either scare him or follow him to the dragon-armor dude.

Cuz it seems to Danny that if we don't stop this guy, the nuke might be the lesser of two evils! ;P

Well, I might be dropping a bit of a plan in your laps to speed things along.

I hope you (& Jericho especially) don't mind this. But I don't want the game to stall out!

No worries on my part! :)

SOmetimes I'm all about 'full speed ahead!' And make my own path.
But sometimes, I just honestly don't know where to turn! ;P
