You're welcome Kronin, I was lucky I had the time today.  I'm working on more updates for the Dale thread now.

Happy Veterans Day to vets sorry been under thew eather a bit.

Sorry to hear that Thrir, I hope you're feeling better now my friend :-).

Okay my friends.  Update tomorrow, my apologies for the delay, but I won't give you better than my best.  Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you, Thrir.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and to everyone who celebrates the holiday today.  May you and your loved ones have a warm, joyous, and peaceful holiday.

I will update the Great Hall of Thror thread later tonight.  As always I am thankful for all of you :)

Congrats to Ymir for making our 500th post!  That's impressive, considering we only started in August.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

My apologies, very rough week.  I should be able to update tomorrow, I hope.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful week and, as always, thank you very much for your patience.  We should be getting the two groups back together very shortly.  I'm extremely curious to see where you go from here.

See you tomorrow.  Good dreamings one and all.

Sorry guys, broadband changeover last Friday has left us without any connection other that mobile phones!

On top of this our heating has decided that this is the best time of year to break, so will try to catch up once these two things are fixed.

Sorry to hear that Noin, especially losing your heating :-(. Stay warm my friend, we'll be here when you get things sorted.  Your family always comes first.

Hope you get everything going Noin :)

Going to hold off to let Noin catch up.

Fair enough Kronin, I do hope things are improving for him.  I've been concentrating on role play between you and Dwór to give him some time and you some role play.  Actually one thing I have considered for such situations is letting you all have a secondary character.   I have a lot of NPCs now :-). Some I need to keep, but most should be playable if anyone is interested.

Thrir I noticed you named your dog, Ascûd; an excellent name.  What sort of dog do you picture your guard dog to be and what gender?

I hope everyone is having a merry and safe holiday season :-)

Hi folks. We now have both broadband and heating, though in the case of the latter I am having to re-pressurise the system at least once a day (either a leaking pressure release valve or expansion tank, or a combination of both) until it gets sorted properly.

Just going to catch up now, sorry for the delay.

Welcome back, Noin!  I am very relieved to hear that.  This would be a miserable time of year to be without heating and no one, in this day and age, can afford to be without some form of net connection.  Glad you got things sorted my friend, post as you are able :)

Everyone, I wish to extend my wishes for a very Merry Christmas, Festive Yuletide, and Happy Holiday!  May each and every one of you know peace and goodwill throughout the season, and in the year that is to come!

Merry Christmas all

Merry Christmas guys. Here's hoping that all is well with you and yours.

Have a merry!

Getting in a few final posts for 2017 to catch things up for both groups.

Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and yours, from me and mine.  My wish for us all, in the immortal words of the great Robbie Burns:

"For Auld Lang Syne, my jo, for Auld Lang Syne.  We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne."

It has been my pleasure to meet you all and role play with you this year.  See you all in 2018 :)

Best of luck and good fortune for you all in 2018!

Happy New Year

Just posted - sorry for the delay...Fighting the Flu.

Sorry to hear you are fighting the flu, Ymir.  Get some rest my friend, thanks for the post.

Working on a post for the folks at Bar Awarth.  I'll finish it later, got to go for now.  Things are going to get interesting for everyone :)

Update tonight.   All characters are either in combat or in a potentially combat situation.   Remember low initiative is better.  If using a weapon remember your speed factor.   Think carefully about how you approach combat.  You need to TALK to one another and the NPCs, that's the best way to survive.

Kronin you have first initiative in your thread, please state and take your first action.  It is unlikely you have a weapon readied: if not it takes one action to do so.  If using a specialized weapon you may still make a single attack as you have 3/2.  The Swarm man is AC 2, due to his speed.

Thrir please give me a CHARISMA check.  As always take a pip if successful.

Ymir. Please check the last post I made for you and let me know your actions.  If initiating combat you have surprise!

Evia you will only have one attack this turn as you must spend most of the round reaching your opponents.  We will take your first attack, since it was successful.  The archers have initiative, however, and will be able to attack first.

Noin be prepared for your turn, in case combat still happens.  Note it is unlikely that you have your weapon ready.  Readying it will take one action.

Be back later  :-)
