We could take over the town!
We don't get enough snow to warrant buying snow tires. And we don't typically have it for very long and usually get the roads cleared pretty quickly. The main issue is people getting over confident about the roads and ending up on the shoulder which causes spins...also people are dumb. Also, that much snow makes those low profile cars into really small plows. Lots of folks high center because they have 2 inches of clearance and there is 3 inches of snow on the ground. I drive a 4x4 F150, so I don't have issues. I've driven in snow/ice all my life, because I don't become a shut in when storms happen. But, each winter when a storm hits, I turn off traction control and purposely fishtail the truck to remind myself what the truck will feel like as it's losing grip. Knowing when to come off the gas is very important.
Some people think fast is bad. No quick is bad and most folks make quick accelerations and quick stops. Physics is a good thing.
/steps off his soap box.
I just... really, really don't like driving in ice and snow. Nope. Don't like it.
but on a better note... *throws confetti and plays a noise maker* we need to have a party!
"...what sort of party?"
How about a GM return party?
Welcome back! :)
*fireworks*
Thanks!
Triel reminds me of a drow character I wanted to make. A False Priest/Cleric/Mystic Theurge disguised as a female as a trick of his House. Mostly because she's drow. XD

Except he didn't trick two rival noble houses into destroying each other out of his sense of pride after his own noble house was absorbed by one of them, right? :)
Nope. Never got much farther in his creation than "I could totally seeing a Matron doing this."
Anyway...
Kinda want to check out the cathedral in better detail. Seems like a nice place to start in exploring town.
Yep. And may today NOT be a 12 hour day >.>
And may all your goblins die in a fire.
Um... DM? You there?
My apologies for all my silence. I've been working long days, upto 12 hours and even worked last Saturday. Today is looking long as well but I didn't want to leave you in the dark.
No sweat.
Personally, I'm waiting to visit the cathedral.
Sorry, kinda been chaotic the past few days. Snow in the south makes for some odd happenings. Granted I'm used to it, but everyone else isn't.
Hey Jack, before I post, were you heading to the stables finally?
He did say that he was.
Yes, I am headed to the stables.
Huh... I don't remember seeing him meet up with Artemis though... That's why I was asking.
He hates me.
Lol, I'm just trying to make sure so that when I post, I don't confuse myself or anyone else and have us going 'Wait... When did and how...' lol
Jack's last post has him heading to the stables.
I've spent so much time waiting for him, the stable hired me as a hand. I am making 5 copper a week to muck the stables.
/hum
You just wanted to decorate to throw a party!
You should see the party cannons I have at the stables. I've made them so you can actually take lethal damage from confetti.
"Great. Now whenever someone wants to steal a horse, they'll get blown off the saddle before they make 10 feet."
"Yep" ^^ *plays her kazoo*
Okay, you're right. I guess I just didn't read it properly. Were you going to interact with Jack before Aldern got there Artemis?
For the sake of moving along, not really. I think Jack was going to cut it pretty close in time anyway. We'll have plenty of time to interact I think.
Still waiting patiently...
I hope nobody's forgotten.
Never Forget
Nope.
*chases butterflies*
Party?
Party! *shoots off a party cannon* ^^
Party cannons have a 1 week in game cooldown. Do you realize how hard it is to get gnomes to stuff them full of confetti?
That's why you always have more than one!
Ithy's right. Cannons work better in batteries ;) 3 - 5 guns is normal :p
Alright, who let her have more than one?
And your encumbrance has to be like super heavy. Unless you bought the gnome carrying and maintenance plan.
Side note: Gnomes are actually quite strong, the issue is, they've spent so much time carrying around party cannons they just seem weak. They are really just tired.
Caissons. Let the horses do the work ;)
I'm sorry guys, I've been meaning to post the past couple of days, but trying to get going again hasn't been easy. I'll give you guys a short run down of what happened so you can have an idea as to what's going on over here... The other week (when I had to take a few days), something happened between my fiance and myself that put a pretty big bump in our relationship. While we've somewhat recovered, we're still together by the way, it's still hard for me to get past on. On top of all that, having snow the last few days of last week threw a curve ball into my schedule. I didn't even know if I was going to graduate on time for one, and had to start thinking about what was going to happen if a phase break was required, which mean I wouldn't be getting money. One of the down falls to the GI Bill, if school's not in session, I'm not getting money. Well luckily, the school solved that issue and I'm set to graduate in just over 7 weeks. That's also when we're moving from Mooresville, NC to the Seattle, WA area. I've still yet to get a job there lined up and have a place to live there, on top of trying to find someone to take our lease here. So I won't blame you if you're upset at the slowness of the last few weeks, but that's going on. I'll get a post up later today, that I know, I just don't know when today lol.
Oh.
No sweat. Glad to see you're back, despite Life's best efforts. ;)
Seriously, though, welcome back!
It's fine! Glad to see you back. ^^ Life likes to throw all of us curve balls.
Life does indeed throw us curveballs.
Just keep communicating, even if it is, hey life sucks, I am trying to get back. That way we know you still love us and want to lead us into death traps and let us be murder hobos....
As you know, we'll find ways to entertain ourselves while you get things straightened out.
Back to the topic at hand...
Caissons will work if you are in wide open spaces, but say we head into a dungeon of some sort? How are we going to fit draft horses in there...
wait, what if they were miniature draft horses and a small caisson. That might work. I'd think you'd want a team of 4 tiny draft horses....
We are still going to need a gnome. or two. Maybe 6, just in case...you know if we have to use one for bait.
Or ya know, Magic ^^
Gnome bait is really common. "I bet you've never been bait before!" XD
You ever look back through your posts and pat yourself on the back? Or perhaps to wonder what you could have done differently?
