[Hmm]

For those of you who said to me at GenCon, "Hilary, I can't do SkålCon, my liver is not strong enough!"

Know this. You don't have to drink to enjoy SkålCon. The games and our charity are the heart of our con. We'll take you how you are.

If you're a non-drinker or a lightweight, Thunderlips will happily be your designated drinker. I don't drink, and I love SkålCon. Great games. Fabulous organization. Wonderful cameraderie. Excellent food. It is one of the best little conventions ever!

Hype!

Hmm

Hmpf. You guys are so dramatic.

[Gunari Maximoff]

"All rejoice for the Chosen are coming to Caydenstead!" cries out the Varisian warpriest of the Drunken Hero. "The breathren are making their way to the Dale of Roses for to partake in the finest of craft ales!"

[Faustus Sulpicius Voralius]

A man in black enameled plate, and an iron face mask pulls the jubilant jabroni aside, whispering in his ear. The devotee of the Lucky Drunk suddenly looks downtrodden.

[Gunari Maximoff]

"I have been informed that we cannot (yet) use that name, for it infringes upon certain copyrighted materials." mumbles Gunari. He quickly perks up, "Perhaps we shall EARN the right to that name this week, for our celebrations shall be mighty, and our libations overflowing!

"All hail the Con of Skål!!

The warpriest once again fills his tankard, and says, "There are less than 96 hours to get your liver in shape! Will the Canadian Maple-Cakes be ready?"

[L'il Lucky]

"Dearly Beloved. We are gathered today on the eve of SkålCon, to pray to the powers that be. We humbly ask for the blessings of the Drunken Hero, as we tip these mugs of the finest brews in all the lands.

We call upon the bards of the land to sing the barroom tales, and lead us in another toast praising our Patron above.

We also call upon the powers that be to grant us a little taste of paradise, a simple request of the naming of our lodge to Caydenstead... that we might..."

The halfling sheepishly looks down as the Inquisitor of Asmodeus interjects.... He shrugs and throws up his mug...

"Ah screw it! Don’t let rules get in the way of enjoying what is truly good in life! Cheers!"

a preaching of the Placard of Wisdom, as presented by Lucky, the Caydanite Cleric of Luck

[Little Lya]

A paladin of Shelyn takes control of the crowd as it begins to get rowdy..
"The passion you two show is admirable. But simple inebriation is not the only way to show ones' dedication to their patron. Take these beautiful works of art on display at SkålCon - hand painted miniatures, delicately colored pictures of beauty... true works of art Shelyn would be proud of...
works of art available for auction where the money will help those in need... This is what SkålCon is about. "

perform oratory: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (16) + 37 = 53

[Xar'z]

A blue gnome, dressed lavishly with many blue sapphire diamonds around his neck looks impressed
"I gotta agree with the pretty girl... I like a strong drink every now and then.. but look at those merchants aiding this great cause - just look at those beautiful blue jems inlaid intricately by Lady Dragon... may have to acquire one myself."

[Ms. Quick]

"I mean, c'mon! It has been at least two days since the lodge hall caught on fire! That must be some kind of record, right? Right?

[THUNDERLIPS!]

A barbarian of Shelyn dwarfs the paladin of Shelyn
"YEAH! WHAT SHORTROUND SAID!"

[THUNDERCOCK!]

A cock of Shelyn stands next to the barbarian of Shelyn who dwarfs the paladin of Shelyn.

"SQUAAAWCK!"

[Thorval Thorvalson]

As Lya is prerforming her oratory, an Ulfen man with a stunning mohawk and a keg over each arm enters the room.

"Who ordered the Surly Furious?" shouts Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Sven, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval, son of Thorval....

"And why all the long faces! We have BEER! We have games! We have punching in faces!"

[Faustus Sulpicius Voralius]

Upon seeing who has entered the room, the Inquisitor of the Dark Prince merely shakes his head. "At least it is for a good cause..."

[Detective Dixon Hill]

A well dressed officer steps up besides Faustus "I may need to call in the rest of SWAT if this gets out of hand. Keeping the peace during this sort of festivity is always a lawman's nightmare."

Dix' checks his supply of tear gas and itching powder while keeping an eye on this.. Thorval character

Rip away is an option, right? I mean I like to be prepared. If you can rip your clothes off it's a lot faster in situations where you might suddenly say LIGHTNINGTHEIRFACES and then you're a lightning bolt travelling pretty fast and that tends to singe.

Also having Vala stitched onto everything tends to make packing for adventures much easier.

Hope everyone else is bringing their Rod of Wonder. I don't want to be the only one! You can probably get one there though. I hear the Dragon Lady has many options for it...

[Officer Rikki Gunderson]

"Crunch and I stand ready, Officer Hill. These miscreant have a history..."

[Detective Dixon Hill]

"Watch out for that Rat... Lucious Lucius is heard to be in the vicinity and he has a warrant out for last month's lewd party downtown."

Dix' gets a very worried look on his face...

[Crunch, K9 Officer]

Officer Crunch takes a quick sniff of Vala, just to make sure everything is packed away properly. He doesn't yet find anything incriminating, but stares suspiciously at a certain rod...

[Bolt Vanderhuge]

"I am much pleased to be traveling northwards once again, for much merrymaking!"
