| Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

|  Weekly INT Check®
(Disclaimer: All use of any in-game names in INT Check® is strictly for entertainment purposes - the social events, locations, and intruiges detailed herein do not have any bearing on the game arc itself, which the author has no control over.*) Without further ado, then, the weekly INT Check®! On a recent raid of one of the Underdark caverns near the surface of Mistone, a Drow party was surprised, and a number of documents seized. The documents are ciphered, but the suspicion is that they pertain to upcoming Drow attacks. Copies of the documents have been made widely available, in the hopes that some clever adventurer might be able to decipher the plans before the attack. Document 1: (Easy DC) Ivreqev'ven or cenvfrq: Vs jr zrna gb nggnpx Sbeg Yynfg, jr'q orfg tngure bhe sbeprf arne gur Mnvatr Evire.

Why the Drow encrypted messages in Common is anyone's guess.  Regardless, what are the plans for Drow attacks? Cryptogram fans - enjoy! *Though subsequent INT checks may (if I have time to set it up) have actual in-game results. |  |   | |

I figured out medium, it was easy enough, though i didn't have time to decode it. The others.... *smashes head into wall*

I got medium DC, then easy DC in the matter of seconds. The Hard DC I took about five minutes then just gave up.

Well, the reasons for this should be fairly straightforward. Easy and Medium are based on a cipher named after a Roman... but Hard is named after a Frenchman. *grins evilly* | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
