Checking in :D

I wish I could take this one over, but I am actually heading the opposite way, and decreasing my games :P
Was that a suggestion for a GM? :D
I PMed Grimmy, but judging by his posts in the City of Ashes discussion, I doubt he will be able to pick this one up :P We need to think about alternatives.
I'll try to get a hold of him.
Dang trux/makirut... I could sense you had less and less available time for PbP, but was clinging to the possibility of keeping this one alive - a shame to see you go man, and I wish you all the best. Caramir/Reknar ----------------------- P.S. Guys, I would hate to see this one dying away... Shall we discuss how to keep it alive? Off the top of my head, I see three possibilities: 1) One of us picks it up, though personally I'm not sure where we can get the source materials;
What do you guys think?
"Definitely a possibility" - Caramir ponders Eliseera's words - "I would have some of that stew, and then we can move in their wake?"
The elf looks curiously at Eliseera, and then the others - "Heve you definitely concluded the Hollow Man is acting in concert with someone in Levoca? Please do tell me" - his eyes glint with the slightest hint of anger - "Why don't we go meet Morti and Okrin?" Chuckling, he replies "Try stealing a treat from my kitchen before it is done. Then you will see assertive." He makes a gesture as if he were hefting something heavy as he says this. "Don't even talk about food - I'm starving" - Caramir adds with a smile.
After a short pause, he adds "They were also hoping to find you out there. That plan isn't going to work so well." "Damn, I had shouted back at Morti I would leave the best trail to be followed as well as I could" - the elf shakes his head - "I'm not sure how successful I was" Elsie nods in reply. "Yes I have worked for him for many years, and he requested I check into this situation but we can discuss more of this later." As the elf mentions the Hollow Man she gets an excited look on her face. "You did? I am impressed! As for who may be controlling it we have theorized it is a druid of some hostile faction...or who holds a personal grudge against someone in Levoca. Did you find someone who appeared to follow the druidic path?" "I don't think so" - Caramir ponders - "I have found other things though..."
"It is good to see you also Karl" - he smiles at his companion - "I think I came as close to being one as possible, but not yet" The smile is short lived however - "As for an attack, we need to talk first" "If you are to be any use to us tonight, you are going to need some sleep! Once we are in the barn you can give a short report, and then I expect you to rest!" Caramir seems surprised at first, but then he nods at the cleric - "I don't remember you being so assertive, master Schlag" - is his comment while moving along. Sounds like a good idea, Kakao. And we will also have the opportunity to tell him how stupid running off into the wilderness alone, at night, with a monster that all of us in combination were bested by. "I couldn't bear sitting around anymore Karl" - the elf walks with his eyes on the ground - "We were getting nowhere. Action had to be taken"
Sorry trux, I didn't get that expression. What does it mean?
"Thank you Kakao" - Caramir smiles at the cleric - "I'll be fine, do not worry" - the elf reassures his companion, then turns again to Eliseera. "Employ of Montpierre? But..?" - the elf ponders, looking at the others for a few moments - "Nevermind. To answer your questions, yes I have found where the Hollow Man returns to. As for who or what is controlling it, I am not completely sure..." Taking another look at his companions he adds - "Where are Morti and Okrin?"
People, just wanted to let you know I am going on vacations with my family next Monday, and won't be back until Sunday. Tomorrow I am probably available to post, and during the remaining days I should have access to a laptop and internet, but as you may presume, RPG is not going to be a priority during these days - it is possible that I may drop a line or three, but feel free to bot me at any given point if needed.
Caramir's smile is evident when he sees Kakao - "My friend" - he nods - "You do not imagine how good it is to see you - I am well, just some cuts and bruises, and my legs feel like they are about to buckle at any moment"
"How are things in Levoca? We have much to talk about..." - he starts, turning to the others, his voice trailing off as he notices Eliseera - "Well met. I am Caramir" - the elf introduces himself bowing shortly.
trux: "Thank you for the offer" - the elf smiles in spite of his weariness - "But I must return to Levoca at once, and find the others" - he nods towards the village - "Apologies for having startled you, it was not my intention" - he finishes, motioning to leave, and turning to Shade - "Are you coming?" He waves back to Mother Molvor as he walks away - "We shall meet later on"
trux:
Peoples, I am away with the family during the weekend. Back to regular posting Sunday/Monday evening.
I don't see any issue with it Bret - it is a good way to keep things moving, in my opinion. Mainly in periods of 'downtime' or similar.
trux:
trux: Once Caramir wakes up, he scans the area around to confirm he is safe, looks for Shade and they both double back to Levoca. He will try to remember the path to get back here.
Last Exit:
Hmmmm, I don't think I can agree with you on this trux - there have been multiple interactions between the group and villagers in the 'actually short time' we were in the village. Maybe not by all of us, but certainly by some. I'm not saying that is enough for the villagers to fully trust us, that is up to you, but I wouldn't say we haven't 'attended our relationship with the villagers' Can't do it now, but I'll link posts with such interactions later on. Also, we were 'hired' to chase down the Hollow Man? I was under the impression we took it upon us to face him. I apologize if this is wrong, and please correct me if so.
Here we go!: His hiding place spotted, Caramir just turns around and runs as fast as he can - "Come Shade!"
Welcome to the game Eric. trux, I am assuming this means I won't be allowed to replace Caramir once he is dead?
Never doubted it was a matter of time.
And it looks like Caramir's luck ran out. Irony is that I only needed one more roll for that group. Not luck at all - Stealth is my best skill.
Yeah, I was hoping to discover anything meaningful before returning.
Never stood a chance:
Invisible:
So.... Are we moving this along, or..?
Whaaa?:
MUAH!:
Caramir slithers without a sound, staying there, motionless and waiting.
People, just a heads up - I will be away with the family during the weekend, and back on next Tuesday. Bot me if needed ;)
Worn out: Caramir stands in hiding, feeling drained both in mind and body - seeing Shade lights up his face though, even more so at the cat's nonchalant attitude - "Everything's always ok with you, is it not?" - he whispers with a grin - "Come on over here, and let me see if you are ok" The cat's hiss brings him to attention - almost too tired to even move, the elf simply slides into hiding again, bearing witness to the foul corruption ahead of him - 'So here is where you return to every night' - he ponders - 'Why?' Even exhausted as he is, his eyes do take in the whole scene, trying to puzzle it together - the corruption, the old tree, the name Ahshapramaaaas...
I am in Europe :D In any case, I think it could be a possibility yes - if we can get the stars aligned. I'll also grab the opportunity to let you guys know I will be away on work from the 11th to the 18th June. I should have access to the internet, but my schedule is so packed, I'm not sure I will be able to post at all - feel free to bot me if needed.
Get it off!:
Run away little girl!:
Dream of the Real:
Caramir blushes at Cyanne's signs of affection, but does not shy away from them - "You are leaving?" - he seems genuinely surprised - "Where will you go? You 'chose to die so that others could live'? What does that even mean..? You are right here... Aren't you?" - he pauses, and stares at her for a long time, suddenly realizing something is definitely wrong, her beautiful face now seemingly gray and tired, but at the same time peaceful. Looking at Shade, the image is similar, but different, more... Real. "I think I understand" - he nods at her serious face, returning her fierce kiss - "We will meet soon" - he whispers as the dream fades into a haze.
Alone in the woods: Caramir continues withdrawing as fast as he can. If he is not threatened, he simply runs off.
Stumbling in the Woods: The elf heard the dwarf shouting behind him, but he could not abandon the chase - not this time - "I'll try to keep up with him Morti! I'll leave as many tracks as I can!" - he shouts back, plodding ahead, and trying to do exactly that, breaking branches, and ripping bushes whenever he can. -------------- Caramir is completely taken by surprise from the snake attack, but somehow manages to avoid it. He doesn't even stop, immediately retreating away from the creature, and in the direction the Hollow Man is taking.
Chase!:
Caramir begins to feel the exhaustion, but he presses on, a snarl in his face.
