[OOC] The Merry halfling

[DukeofTuring]

Yeah, I'm not surprised that the wold guard are all pissy with Marcus, I read enough of the sigmarite backstory to find some of that. It's just that we might wind up needing to work with them, and it seemed like we should start looking for a possible in. Ulrich worshippers aren't a fan of gunpowder weapons, though, and it turns out that witch-hunters are sigmarites rather than secular figures like I though, so Griff probably isn't a likely in with them.

[DukeofTuring]

Hold on ladies and/or gentlemen: Are you two sure that the tome is floating? I see a tome sitting on a desk, I see floating symbols of light, but I don't see a floating tome...

EDIT: And I was looking at witch hunter background again, trying to find a good title for Griff, and apparently some of them are secular authorities like I thought originally. Don't know which one's cannon or not...

hey guys, I thought i'd drop by and say i'm glad this game made it and i'm sorry I had to drop out. happy gaming and may the dice be ever in your favor.

[DukeofTuring]

Good to see you're still alive and kicking

[punkrockguy]

I certainly am, stressed as hell but i'm alive.

You know, I don't know why it's called a shameless plug... I wonder if people think that a person has to have no shame in order to plug their own wears in another persons game. Oh well. Shameless Plug away.

Here it is.

I think that when Humbolt starts licking the magic runes to try and divine their nature we all might start developing some questions about the competency of our new companion

Given the Labor Day weekend here in the USA, don't expect much in-game posting from me after today. Sorry.

[darthcharon]

Quick note: I am in the process of moving, and just found out I won't have internet installed immediately as I had expected. I probably won't be able to have a new post before Tuesday. If I do get internet before then, it will be spotty at best. Sorry for the delay.

[DukeofTuring]

What sort of check would it be to make that note actually legible

[darthcharon]

A computer use check to edit the contrast in a paint program .

[DukeofTuring]

Hold on, just found the "translation" of the note we found on another PbP site. Can I post a link to that, darth, or should I forget that I ever found it?

[darthcharon]

I suppose there's no harm in it, though it does take the fun out of it . By all means, post the translation.

[DukeofTuring]

"Fun" . I'll send you some link to a low resolution image note written in cursive, and then you can have fun squinting your screen and trying to figure out what the hell it says...

Note "The frame appears to be later than the original painting, both by its style and by the patina of the metal. Probably added later -- perhaps by Dwarfen artisans, or an artisan imitating the Dwarfen style. It covers a large area of the original painting -- only fixed with slender pins -- should be easily removed. Condition of the painting under the frame is good. Colours are better preserved, with fine detail. Suggest cleaning the rest of the painting and exhibiting the whole image separately from the frame. The painting style seems consistent with Dwarfen work of the age of Sigmar. Could this be drawn from life? If so, it is a find of enormous significance. Th..."

Not sure if this was covered earlier, but: Is this room at ground level? What does the window look out on?
