I'm not sure if Wyeth has enough "punch" to play up, and my only other PFS character is even more of a wimp. So I'll leave that call to your wisdom, GM. I'm willing to take a shot at it if that's what everyone wants to do and you think my guy can cut it.
By the waaaaaaay, Mr. GM...
"Roc is a great big birdy,
you do not want to step in it's turdie!
Roc's leg makes for a nice drumstick
We never seen one so almighty big!"
You're having entirely too much fun. :o) And I love it! So good to see a GM enjoying himself/herself to that degree. Some of them I want to go all Joker on... "Why so serious?"

Not as I understand it. The lock's at the front to keep them from sliding their manacles off that end of the chain. The back of the chain's buried under what is apparently a huge rock pile. So I'm thinking we'll have to break the chain if we want to use it.
I'm abusing Wyeth's INT 8 a little with my latest post, but I figure he has a natural talent for geometry/topology and aced Spacial Relationships 101. :o) Given he knows zip about basics like nature and survival, I think i can justify him being semi-sharp in one solitary area to balance things out.
I'll also note that his earlier comments could be viewed as non-CG. But he's considering "greater good" and also expects the goblins will be taken care of if we can safely get them to their destination -- if we let them escape in this frozen wilderness or raise havoc, they could all end up dead. And sometimes, survival trumps freedom. So, riding roughshod over them is for their own Good. Chaotically speaking. ;o)
Plus, well, he doesn't much like goblins. And that's being kind.

Apologies for my non-participation lately; a Windows update messed up my machine and I couldn't remote in from work to post. Watching the whole ferry incident was making me crazy because Wyeth so wanted to get in on the whole wrestling thing. :o)
I agree that we should camp before it gets dark. We've made good progress today, plus the critters have been remarkably well-behaved and deserve a break. We can cross the border in the morning.

Moving to Discussion before I taint Gameplay even more. :o)
lol....i've never even seen them.
Wow, there's some serious generation gappage right there. Pretty much any of us old farts can tell you about the Three Stooges. They had a few regular schticks; Moe (the dark-haired one) hitting the other two was a big one. Not that Larry and Curly didn't get their own shots in.
Here's a clip from the closest time period to our characters I could turn up with a brief search. It's a wrestling match of sorts, but in the first ten seconds you'll see why you two made me think of them. :o)
If you also haven't heard of the Marx Brothers, you might want to check them out as well -- a bit less physical comedy, more wit-based. They had some great puns over their career.
"That's a viaduct."
"Thatsa vhat I vanna know. Vy alvays a duck? Vy not sometimes a chicken?"

I recommend you guys check out this one off British comedy HERE. Though its more a homage to silent comedy than The Stooges.

The Three Stooges
The Marx Brothers
Abbott and Costello
Laurel and Hardy
Charlie Chaplin
The Keystone Cops
Growing up with four channels and lots of old shows and few new ones, I grew up with all of them.
(Anecdote: Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. He came in third.)
I missed the Japanese Moe reference - the generation gap can work both ways.

If we're dialing the Wayback Machine up enough to get the Keystone Cops and Charlie Chaplin, let's also include Buster Keaton. Who, despite mostly doing silent movies and shorts, actually appeared in a Twilight Zone episode as an unintentional time traveler. The bookends of the episode were done in the old silent movie style, with the core in the then-current B&W TV fashion. A lot of critics panned the episode but I thought it was a wonderful tribute brilliantly done.
Yay for Monty Python. Still loving John Cleese, still missing Douglas Adams. Adored when OotS riffed on the cheese shop skit.
On this side of the pond, the less well-known Firesign Theater served up a similar brand of humor and actually predated the Flying Circus by a good bit, if I remember correctly.
As Merevelyn indirectly said, Marduk, it's a growth experience on both sides of the gengap. There's so much good comedy, music, etc. out there that many people never experience. A young friend of mine turned me on to some anime, manga, Vocaloid work, etc. to which I'd've otherwise never given a second thought.
Bottom line, "It's all good." :o)
(And thanks for the lead, Darmut. I'll definitely check it out.)

Once Upon a Time. Highly recommended. And if you're a fan of "The Trouble with Tribbles" you'll recognize another talented comedian (who has sadly left us).

Sleep hex on anyone looking to assist the Ulfen man with his nefarious plans...And your plans are not nefarious? Shame on you! ;-)
Actually GM, I think it's shame on you:
ne·far·i·ous adj. \ni-ˈfer-ē-əs\
immoral : flagrantly wicked or impious : evil
Given that Sterelin's intent is to derail a dirty, underhanded deed in support of what some consider an upstanding organization (and thereby also upholding an earlier pledge), I would opine his plans are more on the noble side of the equation. So, nyah. :op
Work is killing me at the moment, after Easter it should be better, thanks for your patience!
Also, a heads-up that for about six weeks starting Monday, I won't be able to post during work hours (though I'll probably be able to read and keep up). Posts will mostly be limited to mornings, evenings, and weekends. So, thanks for your patience right back!

"Intent" seemed enough of a disclaimer to me: Darmut intends to mitigate any double-dealing; that doesn't mean the double-dealing will actually happen, or is even being planned.
And ya know, we were talking about whether or not Darmut is being "nefarious," but you seem awfully focused on discounting his gut feelings.
"The GM doth protest too much, methinks." :oP

I'd be more than happy with a 3rd adventure with you fellas. Although, if GM G wants a break to be on the player side, mayhaps I can run the next adventure :) If so, thinking either The Confirmation (since it's repeatable for most parties involved), The Penumbral Accords since it's a good follow up for Mists of Mwangi, Destiny in the Sands pt1, or Severing Ties (because its a favorite).
