Finally posted Jarveena's dream. I was already drafting that even before Len asked anyone to post dreams but I sat on it all weekend because I didn't know how to end it. To be honest I'm still not happy with it but didn't want to hold the game up any longer so there it is.

If it's any consolation, I liked everyone's dream post; I thought they were all pretty good quality.

Yeah, top notch writing, guys! :-)

I particularly liked the Michel Gondry-esque style of Elspa's dream. Kudos, CancerMan!

For Jarveena's dream I tried to echo, as often as I could, passages from her backstory as well as Len's description of the Ancestors descending on Jarveena as she lay in the bottom of the ravine.

On my part, since Moss hasn't been with you since the start, I wanted to use this dream to give you a hint of why he was usually distant. But I loved when I read Ygne's dream and MoMo used Moss's phrase word for word in it. Didn't know until then how much of an impression Moss had left on her.

Found a neat tool made by our illustrious DM!

Holy shit you made that !!! I've been using that non-stop in my home game for the past two months !!!

Great tool! Love it!

CancerMan and Jabes - those dream sequences were awesome! I got serious shivers reading when Elspa became the hunted rather than the hunter.

Hey thanks everyone. I never get around to updating it, but I have tons of ideas.

Sorry that it took me so long to post. Yesterday was extremely busy.
Yeeeaah, haha! It was the perfect storm of exactly what Ygne didn't want to hear in that particular moment, on top of him sneaking up on her to do/say it. She's pretty mean to anyone, but that's why she's almost always rude toward Moss. She's terrified of him.

Hey everyone, I'm sitting back and enjoying watching the scene unfold. There's not much for me to post about at the moment, it's all inter-party role playing right now. But just to be clear, I'm still active in the game and ready for any questons or interactions you need me for.

One thing I've enjoyed in Lunitar's Talos game is that because he doesn't comment for a few days at a time, the party is often left to just RP amongst themselves. In this game, it has been one urgent situation after another and maybe you haven't had that time yet. So feel free to take that time.

Or not. It's really up to you.

Since I'm not posting in-game much right now, I thought I'd say a few things I've been meaning to say.

The first is months overdue. CancerMan, I can't say enough how much I respect how you play D&D. Tactically, you are seriously on point. When fighting the Shambling Mound, you were the lynch pin. I remember Jarveena critting for 30+ damage and Frick action surging for 50+ damage, but nobody made a lot of noise about how Elspa was setting up huge opportunities with her shield bashes and wolf aura always granting advantage. And then, vs. the Pirates you took the risk to do reckless attack into the wall of dodge actions, which negated all the dodge actions and made it possible to break the pirates! I honestly didn't know how you were going to get through that, but you did!

Also, your RP skills are phenomenal. I love how you roll with the rest of the party. When Rygnar went down the stairs, you didn't try to stop him. I think HypCo thought you'd probably stop him. But you saw your fellow player trying to make a fun scene and you went with it. It lead to epic gaming. And you still managed to convey Elspa's disapproval in a very Elspa way.

And that nightmare scene you wrote? That was a work of art. Seriously, are you an author by profession? If not, you should consider it! This is all in addition to the great work I see you do in Lunitar's Talos game with Ulfren.

CancerMan, you are one hell of a D&D player!

I feel like I want to now say a bunch of nice things about everyone else. Everyone here is playing excellently. I wanted to make sure I mentioned Elspa's superb tactics because it's something I've been meaning to say since February. However, I'm out of time for tonight :) Over the course of the next few days, if you are all doing inter-party RPing that doesn't need a lot of interaction with me, I'll keep writing in about specific things that I like about all of your characters and play styles.

Hear, hear! :-D

Aw, shucks. Thanks for the compliments.

Really, it's the group that brings out the best RP. I think you've assembled a really strong cast.

Was Ygne's comment to the barbarians intentional, or sarcasm? Unless it rained, Rygnar is drenched in blood and has multiple punctures across his body.
