Falcon's Hollow/Diamond Lake AP

Game Master Seamus Greenbottle

"I can see that you gentlemen have a lot on your minds...mostly yourselves. Perhaps ... Call, was it?... and I can go off and get to know each other while the two of you try and figure out which end of the horse the dandy was interested in?"

"Now now, let's all be friends. Turns out bumping into this Centaur lass...or possibly matron, hard to tell with them to be honest, was the start of a really good night of stories and drinking.
Seems like her mate, I guess, took offence and challenged me to a contest."

"Naturally I picked the tankard as my weapon of choice.
Centaurs might have the capacity to drink like a horse, but this one at least had a surprisingly low threshold when it came to holding his ale.
Might have helped that I tipped the bartender to give him triple fortified ale of course."

"But once he was out of the picture, I and the rest of them got to talking and swapping stories."

"Quite a night, especially since Cally began singing a bit later.
Only thing missing was a fistfight, but you know, even I don't like to try and punch someone who is tall enough that I can't even REACH the jaw."

I suppose waiting for an adventure could do. I have only recently finished my schooling at the Arcane University, so unfortunately I don't have many stories to tell.

"Don't let that stop you, after all, some of the best stories are the ones you make yourself, even if they are on the spur of the moment."

"Like stories about centaurs. Just an example. Don't mean nothing by that remark."

made up stories huh? But what would that accomplish, besides bolstering an unverified ego. I once new a brash fighter who claimed to have laid waste to a young dragon, but was then killed by a pathetic Goblin riding aback of a large gecko.

"The point of a story my friend is to ENTERTAIN, sure people have all sorts of goals in life.
One might want to craft a spell that will set his name down in history like Nex or Geb, some might want to become the most respected person in a town, and some might want to start a whole new city somewhere."

"The point is that whatever your goals in life, and whatever way you go after it, if you can have fun while doing it, so much the better.
I like ale, absolutely I do, but thats a CONDIMENT to make life richer, not life itself."

"Making up a good yarn to make a friend guffaw, isn't that worth something in itself?"

"Ruhk, I didn't picture you as much of a philosopher. What then is your goal in this life?"

"Right now, survival, and that's not something I'm a hundred percent sure I'll be able to do. so I'm going to focus my energy on surviving AND having as much fun as I can in case I don't make it."

"I got some angry men on my tail, and no, I didn't sleep with any of their wives either."

"But my long term goal, well, let's just say there is one woman out there that I'm aiming to take care of, first I'm going to live for her THEN I'll live for myself."

"Picked up on the clue did you?"

"There are far more appetites than ways to satiate them. Choose your vices and control how you succumb to them, or you become nothing more than a slave to your vice."

"Hah! Now THERE is a philosopher for you Jakob, mind you, could use a little dressing up though."

"Not a philosopher. A student. There is always something more to learn."

Dammit. You folks started that entire in-character thread while I was sleeping. One of the downsides to being in a different time-zone. And Cally would soooo have enjoyed emptying a tankard over Ruhk's head and telling him to go soak himself somewhere else... But alas, the moment has passed. :)

Well, except for this last bit, it all happened while I was at work, so . . ..

Great thing about smartphones.I can post from anywhere!
[B] Alas, though you may have fun drinking and formatting with animals, just remember someone will be watching and recording the tale.

Sorry, Gigar is a character for another game. Not meant to to be him

"Haha, well if I can't TELL the tale, then at least I can help crate it."

Hello all! I've made my decisions—joining the party will be the following:

Thanks, Seamus, I'm looking forward to it!

Well well, looks like I'll have another chance to bug Cally with my carefree nature then.

Heh. I'll make the alias sometime this weekend. Might even do it tonight. I need to worry about super right now, though . . ..

And thank you.

Eclectic group.

And a large and growly bear.

Oh, he is real? I was going to act like he was a figment of your imagination.
Might have been fun, but I doubt anybody else would have got the joke really haha.

What bear?

You don't see it too? (or either depending on how correct you want to be) Wow, I'm so glad, I thought I was the only one not seeing things.
Normally when I see things that are not there, it's pink elephants.

My bear is very real and has been known to eat dandies as an apertif.

"Somehow, I doubt either of you are going to get out of this exchange what you want. Each needs to follow his own path. Of course his path looks wrong to you. It isn't going to work for you. Accept that his path is different because he sees things differently. And hope to avoid those whose paths are, truly, wrong."

"He does? How interesting.
Say, you seem to have a pretty nice fashion sense.
Various nuances of green, nose ring to accentuate your jaw, quite a snazzy getup.
One could even call you a...dandy."

And if that doesn't work, I'll just have more drinks until my friend pinky shows up and sits on the bear.

Sorry for the delay, folks—kind of a busy weekend for me. You should be able to go to the discussion tab above to find the discussion page for this campaign, though, so feel free to go there and introduce your real selves. Make sure you check in at least!

I must be too quick? I don't see a discussion tab above . . ..

EDIT: Yep, as soon as I post that I don't see tabs, the post itself reveals them to me. <sigh> I'm the "some people's children" this time.
