Before Klale delivers the final blow I just want to check something out.

Also do we recognize the name Marda

You're pretty sure the dragon was moaning and also trying to say 'Arda', the name of the world, not Marda. :)

Klale (I) understood  "_Myou must kill_mmm  me_ee.  _Mmmdon't _mlet _mit spread.  M_my lord comes to _mmmmfight for _mmmmarda.  Don't _mmmresist his _mmmmreturn."

The lord is Melkor. I'm guessing that people have heard tales of Melkor etc. and call this world Arda.

Arda is a familiar term.  Melkor is a very very ancient word that Klale and Ano likely don't know from growing up and general history.  It's an elfish name lost in ages past since he goes by Morgoth in the more recent histories.

Even Morgoth is a dark fairy tale by the third age as Sauron is the most potent enemy left in the world by the time of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

Ok so that's bad news

Just waiting to hear if there is anything of note in the room around us.  Fo I need a roll.

My apologies.  I guess I'd better let Klale and Ano know this.  I was fired last Wednesday from my job.  My posts may seem a bit slow or off.  Please just keep these kinds of reminders coming if I don't give you what you need in a post.  It helps me give you what you need as a player.  Ano, I'll get a cave description up some time today.

Right now, kids.

Hard news. May you catch on soon somewhere.

That sucks.  Sorry to hear it.

As I told the other two (who I know in real life), it's not as bad as all that.  I actually feel a big weight gone.  Didn't know I was miserable in that line of work (teaching) until I was on the outside looking in.  I'm going to work with my wife for a while on her business and then when she's going great, get back in to game design.  I've already got a potential 10 million dollar kickstart project professionally designed with a company ready to build it if I get the backing.  It's based in my novel universe.  I've also got a d10 table top system I've been working on for almost 2 years now and its in the final stages of alpha testing.  I have to get a good array of spells up, but the base mechanics and all the rest are good to go.  It's level-less and classless and I think fairly easy to learn and go.

So anyway, it's more of a positive than a negative.  However, as I focus on my wife's business and stabilizing us financially, my posts may be a bit erratic.  Like I said, just give me reminders here in OOC or in PMs for what you need.  The game will continue.  It's about to open up to a whole new level of storyline.  All threads are on the verge.  Chapter 9 is going to be, hopefully, awesome!

Sounds cool.  I hope your future plans work out for you.

Ano and Klale have met her? Her description is not reassuring.

She was the girl fighting along side Toben, phineas, Klale, and ano in the first chapter. She was with us, and her grandfather Eles, all the way up to the mountain where we met Ceven.

Reread Chapter 1. :)

She was with us until mount doom.  Here and a young man named Cace rode off to check out an army and never came back.

I totally thought we would never see her again.  So cool

Heh.  Ask Ryland and Toben to tell you about my Millennium campaign sometime.

In reply to Eru (msg # 165):

It's out of this world

8.2, I need you all to roll initiative.

8.0, y'all are in conversation and don't feel immediately threatened.

15:12, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 5 using 1d20+2.  Initiative Roll.

He who laughs last, laughs best...if he gets to laugh at all.

Ok mind blown

I try. ;)

I think we have a problem. Because we players know about the dischord of fire, it seems Aashera is lying. However, would our kindly Gm really want us to fight her and five dragons, or could it be that the dragons are just waiting to dispose of her?

I dont think she is lying so far they seem pretty up front.


DM I'll take 10 on all 6 checks. For a total of 20.  The fact that they waited for her to allow them to speak is really all I needed to see.

I'm not sure I understand what the issue is, Klale.  Could you expand on what it is you see?  Ano asked about the Song of Fire, not the Dischord.

the eldritch dragon replied "...If you're searching for him, you're wasting your time.  He's a wildfire.  You want to know the real reason the Elder Dragons and the whelps are fighting?  It's him.  He lit the fire under them, so to speak."

But I thought Naurel the song of fire is the good guy with Delunaur resisting the evil that calls her.

And can one trust Melkor with him tugging at her?
