Thanks to the Game Warden for running a very different kind of event last night. It was like a book you don't want to put down, and now I'm wondering when I'll get to read another chapter.
Ditto Archibald, Barret, and Jarook. What a party! And we looked like a Cthulhu cult with our patchwork squid heads. If they didn't come with gills I'd wear mine all the time.
Thanks all! |

His good fortune.
Her outline was not without curves. She wore a tight corset that pushed her slight bosom into an attractive décolletage. Her arms were bare, with bangles at her wrists, and her feet were bare as well, and freshly - though not thoroughly - washed. Her feet were inelegant, broad with long toes that were topped with very light blonde curls. Her hair... luminous, thick, draping straight to her shoulders but cut flat across the front creating harsh bangs ... |

The incident was never repeated. It did not auger some new bogeyman come to Port, upsetting as it was. For most of the children it was too frightening to be turned into a game. Any who joked or teased about the Black Biter were swiftly disciplined. Otherwise, the more sensitive among them might never sleep.
It was the wee morning hours several months ago when a child began loudly to shriek in the darkness, where the orphans at Small Stones sleep in rows of short bunked beds, the ... |

Notes sketched hastily on a piece of scroll. They are written in a strange angular pictographic code. A clever reader might discern that the scroll bears a numbered list, and the counting system is somehow alien.
Were the reader able to comprehend these glyphs, they might think it were a shopping list… the collected attributes of the ideal woman that, found altogether and at once, would represent the greatest beauty in the list author's sight.

The strange angular pictographs. A code. An system of counting alien in derivation to the way money is counted, or bushels of wheat. It has some things in common with the script of alchemists, which like traditional medicine is more available to qualitative measures of phlegm, warmth… or pain.
The list is ever changing. What had been considered a very favorable attribute turns up flawed. The high-arched dancer’s feet have no feeling. The proportion of another element is not ... |

((NOTE: Pushing the far edge of PG-13 with this post. The violence is bad and yes, it was coming eventually, tasteful necrophilia.
Wikipedia notes that there is little research on the issue, and follows a recent study to suggest "that either of the following situations could be antecedents to necrophilia:
1. The necrophile develops poor self-esteem, perhaps due in part to a significant loss;
(a) He (usually male) is very fearful of rejection by women ... |

"Follow me to the back."
Corbin left the common room at the Four Winds Inn, and found two chairs at a small table in the kitchens. It was cozy, and his companion said so. They sat across from one another, and she seemed to grow fascinated with his face. She stared openly. His face was angular and handsome, and resembled his mother's.
"What do you know about Coralyn?" Corbin inquired of the dwarf. Her familiarity with his mother had brought ... |

[edit] Honestly, I WOULD like to see a gold-weight system, and gold that has proper value in Vives 2...
And to that I would say, if there were to be a gold-weight system, then there had better be a banking system in place too.
And it must be run by gnomes! |

Sorry to say WA, this was your Buddha phrase from said post:
"STFU NOOB!!!11oneelevensquarerootpie"
Strikes and gutters man, strikes and gutters.
To throw in again, I can't see trading in an old PC for half that experience back, in part because starting over at level 1 is so much fun in and of itself (for me). I want to earn every level and I don't feel like I know who the character is ... |

A dwarven woman pads down the wharf where the Coralyn is berthed. Her feet are bare and pale white, legs dabbed with mud from the road and filth from the streets of Lower Port. Her toes are topped with blonde curls, and black mulch is deposited between them. She appears as a witch, or a perhaps a gypsy, with voluminous skirts, weathered black cloak, an loose leather bodice over her blouse, bangles on her wrists and her ankles, all in all a wild country look.
Her hair is straight ... |

A dwarven woman with straight blonde hair passes by the notice and stops, sighting Balthor Mountainhand's signature out of the corner of her eye.
Balthor the wizard has work, Monah thinks to herself, or he's looking for companions to help him complete some task...
The woman remembers that Balthor once told her of his residence, when they met many months ago at the Broken Mask tavern. She pads barefooted across Port Royal to learn more about what he is ... |
