Re: OOC Chat
Glad you're both enjoying, I know I am really enjoying your creativity and role playing. I love feedback so if there's ever anything you'd like to focus on more or someplace you'd like to explore in Middle-earth let me know and, if I can -and I usually can- I'll make it happen :)
Yes Thrir, you receive experience for "DEFEATING" a foe, that includes outwitting them. They weren't exactly bandits, more mercenaries, and what's more important to a mercenary than money?
Likewise Kronin will receive XP for finding a way to defuse the tension between his party and the Man-Swarm they encountered. I will ALWAYS reward intelligent players, especially if they find away around my clever plans :)
I do know Evia is offline right now, the player is keeping in contact so we know what's going on.
As for Noin, well I'm not sure we've lost Noin just yet. He or she, works in a production environment, which I understand entirely too well. Long hours and little leisure time can really limit your posting, as it sometimes does for me. Having said that Noin's last post was on the seventeenth of January, so its been more than a couple weeks now. I will try to reach out to the player and see if I can get an update. Hopefully its just real life getting in the way.
Update either tonight or tomorrow. I want to wrap up the Bar Awarth thread and get Kronin and company reunited with the rest of the group. Kronin, however, and Noin if he's still with us, has a choice to make first I think...
I'll be back later hopefully. Until then Namariƫ.
