There's plenty for the six(?) of us.

There only Goblins  DM chuckle.

Sila, kree, Maki, Theo, Senuviel and Bruga yup, 6 of you.

Once upon a time, I created a second-level ranger. He at once encountered a kobold. Eight failure by the ranger, eight successes by the kobold, and the ranger lay dead, slain by the unscratched kobold.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 756):

It happens yup, but always play to your characters best abilities and pray the dice gods favor you :)

I too lost many a character to situations that should not have warranted the characters death.  Of course there were times when my character should have died on round one and lived to tell about it, and he was not a Kobold :)

At low levels, Most of my character would attack at a distance, so that the character could run away.  Works most of the time.     LOL

Does the barn by where Bruga is have a door or window?

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 759):

Yup a large open window/door with a crane/pulley system to lift hey up into the loft.

=====..  this  is a  Messahe  fro Jase , who runs the  site , along  with   the Mods....Just posted  today


As those monitoring the forum thread regarding this notice will know, the previous planned migration did not go ahead due to performance and reliability issues with the selected host.  As a result we had to go back to the drawing board and select a new host.

We've been running the test site off a new host based in New York for a while now and are very comfortable with the reliability and performance it has provided.  As a result (and the point of this message)...

The website will be migrating to the new server in approximately 24 hours.

A maintenance notice will appear when the migration is about to happen.  Be aware that the site will stay under maintenance until the migration completes, which might take up to thirty minutes.  Unfortunately there is no way to shorten this maintenance window as there is a large volume of data to migrate.  Once the migration is completed the maintenance notice will clear and you will be free to continue on as normal.  Those using https may also see a brief website unavailable message as the web certificate is installed.

Any queries or issues please use the forum thread.

thanks for the info

Hooray!!! Thank you!!

see? Unions  even helped us get XPs!..Thanks!

Early Unions were defiantly needed.

I live in  a 'dead' coal mining town.. My dad  walked to work to his mine..the Rock dump used to be a man-made mount, about 100 yards from out  house.

in the early years, the company built  house  for the coalminers  to live in ( and pay rent to the Company)..each  town ( named after thier mine..mine is called   Mine 40..or Eureka 40 )

each town had a company store..that  you used  'storebooks' to  pay your bil they added up.. that  bill came right out of the Miner's paychecks

 when suerpmarkets and stores opened up...sometimes guys would get fired..or 'laid off' because they bought a ringer washer from   another store.


  our   company.. through people out of their homes  on Christmas  eve, ebcause they tried to unionize...a FArer  who lives..maybe 1/4 mile away helped people set up tents to live in , in below zero  weather.... Pinkertons would  bust up meetings  and ehads, when folks had union meetings....when I was  young, my Dad took his turn at picketing  a scab mine... there was  an altercation  and a pinkerton-type, through  a Miner under  the wheels of a moving coal truck


The  company pitted  ethic battles... we were Hungarian to teh boss would tell the hungarians.." those Dagoes  loaded more coal then you".. Or  Tell the germans… those Limeies  loaded more  coal..ect ect.


as a Mailman, I was our shop steward, and would have to fight against overburden routes, unfair  practices , like  'buddies' gettign time off , when normal folks couldn't

 In the end?.. the  unions saved  kids  a from child labor.. helped  women escape brutal conditions  and ..for the most part..sex-for -jobs.... aroung these parts, the only ones who complain, are  those  who want no union shops,  so they don't have to worry about working conditions!

 so?..yeah.. bad stuff happened  before I was born.. and when I was  young..some stuff continued ..and still does...but its nice to know, someone has your back!

Dudes, you gotta come to Brazil and work here then you´ll see what unions "do" for you. On a side note, in Brazil, when you start working you´re automatically enrolled into the union your industry or commerce work with. You are discounted every year on your income to pay the union fee so they can "help" you whenever you have some issues, of course this only works in the dreamland. The main problem in my country is that usually, unions are filled up and controlled by left wing socialists who use the money the government give the unions as well as the workers' money for their own gain while they tell you: "We are  doing everything in our power to help you, yadda, yadda, yadda...it´s the capitalism´s fault you´re working under such conditions...yadda, yadda, yadda.." but they only do the minimum necessary to guarantee you keep paying the annual fee, and the story goes on. Sorry, I wrote too much.

we have Union dues.. you can  have it taken out of your check ( its  deductible  for state taxes)..however  folks  can  choose to be  , what they call 'scabs"  and  not pay the union dues, the postoffiee  and to allow  an 'open shop'..what is funny is the Union had  to   help them anyway...

 I will be truthful, I did  what a 'legally ' had to.. but I would   put  extra  time   and work for   a Union brother  or  sisters.

  now?..having said that?  the first union I was in for a grocery  store chaon..was bought and paid for.. the owners  tied us in with  the drygoods  side..and all of the old ladies who just work there for  'pin money' didn't want to lsoe thier  jobs.... The second   Union I was in was pretty strong, but they worried  more   about the guys in the field, rather equal with us who worked in the factory.... The Letter Carriers  Union  was ( is) pretty strong,  I still help  with  political stuff  when we  attack the  Big Business and such...but..other then that? I'm a helpless retired  carrier now.

yeah?..I know.. my rolls where bad.. maybe he missed  and killed  a sleeping or held one?

Seems the longer something is around the more the crupption factor creeps in.

Tell me about it. The governor of my state was arrested yesterday.

Which state?

Parana, Brazil.

I live in Oregon where, if there's a whiff of corruption around an official, that official is gone unless found innocent.
