Gideon is crappy at foraging, being loud and clumsy (yay for stereotypes). He'll be at the front of the group, carrying the prospector (Estwick) who is armed with a crossbow. He'll chop through bush, too. Given our rather meager supplies and his rather obscene carrying capacity, he's more than willing to haul anything we need.

So far, he has but Estwick's tools, some torches, firm rope, crampons, a few spikes. A thick woolen cloak stashed away, to protect him at night and in rain, a blanket to serve also as a tent. Kindling, whetstone, knife.

Blankets can make very good tents

K,tonight last night for postage before _something_ happens...

Scras: the language you chose is a step up from the usual choices people make, but can we please get some OOC translations? The online translators absolutely butcher your intended message. And I've got enough language-learning to do without adding another to the list.

Also, I'm a bit busy the next few days. Midterms and whatnot. I'll try to keep up my posting, but if I'm a bit slow, I apologize in advance.

Haha it's Korean, i picked it because no one should really know what she is chanting. If a character is interested, they could ask her.

Chaosmark · « **Reply #55 on:** March 11, 2009, 03:39:15 PM »

Oh, I knew it was Korean: that's how I knew the translators were butchering it. I just didn't want to give it away if you really wanted it to be a secret.

Okay folks, let me know where you are doing next. You have hills in the distance, another rock to examine, and a couple of other clues strewn about

Anyone else going to comment before the half-ogre smashes something?

Drackler · « **Reply #58 on:** March 26, 2009, 07:32:28 PM »

Not I!

Dozus · « **Reply #59 on:** March 26, 2009, 08:14:27 PM »

Smash away!

Hrofgar · « **Reply #60 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:05:05 PM »

Go ahead!

Scrasamax · « **Reply #61 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:28:55 PM »

This is a bad idea.

Dozus · « **Reply #62 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:37:16 PM »

Applying brute force to a mysterious monolith? What could possibly go wrong?

EchoMirage · « **Reply #63 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:12:46 AM »

I would not be able to think that "this is Sparta" if I did not, that would be wrong

valadaar · « **Reply #64 on:** April 01, 2009, 06:19:14 PM »

Okay, anyone going to do anything with the dead dwarve's gear, or the trapdoor in the structure? For reference, the old door has been destroyed.

valadaar · « **Reply #65 on:** April 03, 2009, 06:21:07 PM »

And another note, treasure is by nature of the campaign world, rare.

valadaar · « **Reply #66 on:** April 16, 2009, 08:42:30 PM »

Nudge?

EchoMirage · « **Reply #67 on:** April 17, 2009, 02:07:48 AM »

Can't do s**t in this situation, captain.

Scrasamax · « **Reply #68 on:** April 17, 2009, 05:22:03 AM »

I'm at a loss for what to do as well

EchoMirage · « **Reply #69 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:10:59 AM »

Well, I'd be all for procuring treasure and applying the boot of justice to the buttocks of evil, but given Gideon's physique, he's unable to do the former at all, and the latter only towards evil without.

valadaar · « **Reply #70 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:24:02 AM »

Okay, will give until tonight and then will try and move things along...

Dozus · « **Reply #71 on:** April 17, 2009, 10:58:12 AM »

*hides in the underbrush, waiting for something to happen*

valadaar · « **Reply #72 on:** April 24, 2009, 07:12:45 AM »

Well, something is starting to happen..

I would just like to say this game is going great and I am having a grand time. But there is one thing I would like to bring up to Scras and Dozus, and anyone else who wants to use a different language in their posts. It would be much more beneficial if you were to write it how it sounds instead of using the direct foreign characters. It just makes it hard to imagine what it sounds like and seems out of place. But this is just my thoughts on the subject, if no one else has a problem, or I'm accidentally being an irrational dick, let me know. No offense meant, just something I want people to be aware of.

And, besides that, everyone is doing a great job. Many thanks.

Dozus · « **Reply #74 on:** April 29, 2009, 08:24:12 PM »

No offense taken, sir. For me, at least, a language is more thoroughly "foreign" if it's written in an alien script. Perhaps my creativity nerve is on the fritz, but I can't exactly picture how Alunese(?) would sound, and I'm afraid I'd do a quite silly job of it if I tried to transliterate. That said, if it's an issue, I'm happy to adjust and find a happy medium, perhaps just describing tone and facial expressions as opposed to the actual phonics of the speech.

And I too am enjoying myself. Huzzah for the game!
