Re: DIS: Kniffordly happenings
Pythagorclid considers the woman's story and tells em e is a traveler and knows nothing about the happenings of Knifford. However, Pythagorclid also recognizes that worshippers or dark and mysterious powers often have secret knowledge. Of course, knowledge of the secret variety is rarely given up without a fight, especially by the evil sort. Pythagorclid looks the other traveler (DN) up and down and says to em, "You look the adventuring sort. Would you like to investigate these potentially evil priests? I'm sure there'll be booze, babes, and beds for us at the inn if we help the town out." Of course Pythagorclid has no use of female- or alcohol-based distractions, but e is well aware of the three B's of adventuring. Pythagorclid then zones out and counts the number of stones on the road. --nichdel On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 8:03 PM, Tanner Swett wrote: > On Oct 30, 2014, at 3:43 AM, Jonatan Kilhamn wrote: >> On 30 October 2014 04:45, Tanner Swett wrote: >>> On Oct 24, 2014, at 2:02 PM, Jonatan Kilhamn wrote: I punch the Bard in the face. >>> >>> Inside the inn, we find the Bard and some unknown character, whom we >>> designate AQ.

Re: DIS: Kniffordly happenings
Oscarosaurus, being of the Dinotopia model, is fluent in the language we're all using [English OOG, who knows what in-game] - except that as a herd animal, Oscarosaurus has trouble with singular pronouns. Please read Oscarosaurus's posts as if they were being said by a 100kg parrot talking in the baritone range. A no-longer-abandoned monastery habited by unusual monks sounds like a job for an Adventurer Party. Oscarosaurus isn't too worried about threats to tear off heads, due to having a substantial neck frill and somewhat thick hide. However Oscarosaurus is no adventurer. Oscarosaurus asks the woman which road leads to Oscar's Mire and what might be on that road. Then he scratches his back against a tree and looks for a good place to sleep -- good natural defenses from large predators, fresh water, lots of open space for singing. Because one ought to sing every day. OscarMeyr
