Your choice. They were headed into the mountains, I was getting them out so you could flatten the carnival, not realizing that they were the target. Feel free to run them down as they make their way into the mountains.
Meh, they were a sideshow (LOL ..no pun intended) at best anyway. Maybe I can think up something for the flippered dude. I kinda liked his imagery.
Charles: Quick tete a tete on Lucinda and the Giggler meeting:
The Giggler dervies a good portion of his power from an Aspect of Elemental Evil he picked up in the old Temple of Elemental Evil a while back. The Aspect was attuned to water. Essentially his body is a liquid he can solidify.
Is this going to clash with Lucinda? They both seem to be both chaotic in the extreme and water-aligned. Anything I should know before posting further?
Edit:
She's not likely to go into an encounter with the Giggler with the aim of hurting him, although she may completely ignore Kytania.
The Giggler may be aware that she's a servant of something chaotic and evil aligned, if she makes any shows of power, and that its something best 'unnamed' except by its worshippers/servants.
OK, that's cool. I figure they'll just 'pass in the night' so to speak. Just wanted to make sure there were no clashes in the offing ...
And a happy one to you DB3. I will be popping in and out. Got a few people to go and visit today to make sure they're well remembered. Will post in and out as time allows...

A small shocker lizard observes the three, grinning ear to ear. It approaches.
"A dying leaf against the luster,
A bit of ore against the sun,
A lute string against the jester,
And a shadow against the dawn."
It c%@@! its head quizzically.
"Shadow shall meet, the light will greet, and darkness shall fight its brother. The lines will fade, a new shape will be laid, and daughter shall meet mother."
It grins again.
Brother vs brother? Let's count the pairs of brothers.
1) Oroth and Aidan2) Lerithan and Merithan
3) Any two Jacks.
Now, when it comes to darkness fighting its brother, the shadows that surrounded Oroth may attach to someone else, but only if they are depressed and subconsciously wanted the power to change it.
Of course, this could also mean Shadow Pelt is going to meet Oroth again.
I think the new shape being laid refers to Lucinda, and the 'daughter shall meet mother' refers to the only mother daughter pair that hasn't really meet each other, LJ and Arielle.
I could be reading to much into this though, and would like other takes on this. KC could just explain, but where is the fun it that?
Hey Charles, I'm feeling a little at a loss right now as to how to deal with Daelemos. I could use some less obscure hints. Maybe I'm just being dense, but I have no idea what would motivate the dragon enough to use to appeal to his pride. And every time I ask someone who would know all I get is 'I don't want to talk about that.' With the Giggler loose I'm feeling a bit more urgency to get this wrapped up. It's down to only two people to deal with, and I just want to get things moving again.
I'm surprised Jay Frogskin's draft letter didn't see any discussion - I don't know if it was an invisible post when Kobold Cleaver made it and everyone else missed it.
The first couple of paragraphs were along the lines of thinking of something which might appeal; it went a bit off the rails once it started making veiled threats and insults, and going on about 'inconvenience'. A dragon doesn't like to be told what is and isn't going to inconvenience it...I've been doing my best to remotely convey 1) how dangerous the dragon is if challenged in a fight, and 2) what it's character is, so the others have some sort of basis to go on for working up a credible RP solution.
We've gotten the point of number one. We get it. Too dangerous, don't challenge to a fight. But I'm telling you that you haven't given enough information about Daelemos's character for us to have any real idea. Devlyn and Frogskin both started working on it, but the problem is that we don't have enough to go on right now to come up with a credible RP solution. That's what I'm telling you. Frogskin's letter wasn't ignored or dismissed. Other than the bit about trying to threaten the dragon. I think it's the beginnings of a good idea. But that's all we've got. The beginnings. We don't know enough about Daelemos to know which ideas would appeal and which would tick him off and it's too important to risk angering him. SO if we could find out a little less remotely please? :)

I know this is really off topic, but someone needs help.I don't feel qualified to post on threads like that.
No one is really qualified, no matter what they think. Encourage him/her to seek help at least. The more people who try to help, the more likely succes will be.
Okay, that was a long list, and I really hope that you can see from that list why I am starting to feel frustrated. You're basically saying, here's all the people who know and none of them are going to talk to you. Arrrgh.
*takes a deep breath*
Sorry. Anyways, there's not likely to be less of a crowd in the Grove at any point at this stage in the endgame, let alone the planning phase. I'm not understanding why Eiboria couldn't use a illusory projection like she did before. Then she's not in any physical danger, and she can always request a private conversation, which LJ would certainly grant.
That was from the Bazaar, which seems to be part of the same Prime Material plane, and doesn't have heavy duty barriers at present.
Does Lynora-Jill ever dream in her current form?If not, I shall work on a plan B involving Sorsha.
I don't know. She doesn't really need to sleep. You know what, this is getting too complicated. Surely there has to be some small place where the Green and the realms of dream intersect. Eiboria can reach her there.
Reminder. IT'S NOT JUNE YET! My last big move project is June 6. I'll be hit or miss during the day, and sometimes too stressed to look at a computer at night. If I don't respond right away, pls be patient or do a workaround. Thx!
I'm off for the night laters all

No worries. It's not like we have a schedule to keep or something. :) But thanks for the heads-up/reminder.

Look I found the Teen Champions!
Arielle(silver hair), Lk(greenish hair), Aidan(red hair), Unknown(yellow hair).
Don't know who the last one could be.

Bet the last one is Keehaar. :)

Hadn't thought of that. The wings match the coloration of Keehaar's bird alias too.
Alright, now that I've taken a breath and deleted my first response.... WTF?! Charles, you're godmodding. A lot. In spite of frequent requests on my part to stop. I've come up with as many creative solutions as I can, but apparently Daelemos is so all-fricking powerful that a deity working through the fricking World Ash can't steal back something from his lair that belongs to her in the first place. Apparently, you have some perfect solution in place for how you think this is supposed to work out. Do tell. Spell it out in detail. Because that's the only way it's going to happen. And if it doesn't happen soon I am invoking the much detested time travel clause. I am beyond frustrated. I'm willing to play out a storyline if I can see that it is going somewhere. This one isn't and hasn't been for awhile. And I want my character back.
If your house starts collapsing, would you or would you not grab your most valuable things and get out?
Anyway, he will shortly be turning up at the Grove, as you have his attention, and he might not even sneeze all over it if Sorsha is still there.
Whilst she is present 'kill everything in sight and raze the place' is not an option in case she is a casualty. (Bad form to kill a dragon from your own bloodline and all that by accident, or at least if you're Daelemos it is.)
Therefore, so long as everyone stays bunched up nice and close to avoid casual breath weapon attacks, you get to talk.
Charles, are you trying to say Daelemos is the Midgard Serpent? Cause with 'the fall of an entire pantheon of gods' the Midgard Sperpent died, before the fall actually, killed by someone with a really big hammer... >:)
(Yes, I know it was Thor.)

First of all, his house was not collapsing. And that still doesn't help, because you've decided that he's all-powerful and there's nothing we can do to convince him to give back the stars. I've asked over and over and over for some clue as to how to approach him or convince him and all you do is re-review the info I've already stated is insufficient. I'm upset. I've been upset about this a few times already. It's getting to be a weekly event. Tell me what you expect me to do already. You've got a script, but you're not sharing it. And I can't read your mind. It isn't fun when one person has a character that nobody else can do anything about no matter what. I seem to recall you having a similar frustrated reaction to something another player did earlier in the game. Was it a lot of fun on that side of it? Can you understand why I might be getting a little upset?

I could bring in help...
I been wanting a reason to bring in Db and Dbj. Sky is just as tired as Blodwen, so he might not be any help. Lk is bound to jump in any fight to protect Arielle, which will most likely allow me to fix his relationship with Kiba(who is still close by, LJ, JH, and Devlyn can easily detect him in their own ways). The Bard is busy helping Mirathan, and Ellara might no get there in time(she also has little reason to, except she allied herself to LJ). Aidan, Oroth, Rio, and Cyberdragonborn are occupied at the Sanctum, so they may not be able to get there soon.
Just to point out the obvious, we've lost a few RPG posters due to overly complex, overly one-sided interactions.
I don't have a script. I'm assuming that in the manner of roleplayers everywhere, you will brilliantly improvise in conversation with something which seems reasonable. I have been waiting for you to go and have a conversation (taking some precautions) for weeks.
A conversation with who about what? I've been trying to have conversations with everyone that has come across my radar screen. I have asked you over and over and over for some kind of hint or something. Nothing works. I've asked for more information so we can brainstorm something from that. Nada. I've said repeatedly that I don't know what you're looking for here. Every time I start to posit a solution there's some brilliant reason why it can't possibly work. Nothing seems reasonable to you. If you were DMing a game and the players hit a wall, how many times would you have them sit there blankly and ask you for help before you gave them a hint? How long would you make them sit there first? How much would you want to play in a game like that?
Just to point out the obvious, we've lost a few RPG posters due to overly complex, overly one-sided interactions.Like AoV?
David, for one. No cameos by others for quite some time. Reduced postings by others. :(
