Locked Out!

[darkstorme]

I am so sorry to everyone who signed up for my quest - here are the trials and tribulations of the past few hours.

I left work early, at 6:30, to allow plenty of time for setup.

I arrived at the apartment at about 7, to discover (to my chagrin) that I had left my keys in the apartment when I left this morning.  Unfortunately, Carillon is not here right now, so I couldn't buzz up to be let in.

No problem, thought I, I'll just ring the managers. They're always in.

As it turned out, this assumption was in error.  Earlier this afternoon, it appears that my landlady won a dinner cruise for her husband and herself.  So, at 6 PM, they had left the building.

Fortunately for me, they'd keyed the buzzer to their cell phone, so despite a poor connection, they recognized my voice and let me into the building proper.  This, however, did not get me into the apartment, nor to the computer at which I now sit.

I then proceeded to while away the intervening four hours reading magazines left by the laundry room, composing little ditties for my bard and cursing the luck that allowed all these events to coincide with the delightfully involved little quest I had planned for tonight.

So.  That's why I was a no-show.

Although the timing developed by my Rumours thread will now have to be stretched, slightly, I am relocating this quest to Saturday, same time, so as not to step on OsxMallard's toes with his fun-sounding Beetle Quest.

Once again, I apologize to those who signed up for my quest, and to Dorg, who doubtless loaded up Quest for me.  I ask your forbearance, and hope most (or all) who signed up for Thursday are equitable with the move.

Regards,
Darkstorme

Aw... Sorry, sounds like you had a bad night.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it saturday, but hope the rest of you will have fun.
(and if it makes you feel any better, there was lots of good RP, and we searched the Haven mines, but funnily enough, just found gnolls...)

Locked out?  And you call yourself a rogue (by any other name).

[darkstorme]

Kell is a rogue.  I am perfectly capable of tripping over my own feet, and move about as stealthily as a blind elephant in a gong factory.

And, apparently, I'm lacking crucial points in WIS as well.  Really, what isn't my dump stat today?  *laughs*

I'm glad to hear that there was some decent RP when the promised quest failed to materialize, though.

Oh how this brings back fond memories of leaving my keys at work.

Decisions decisions....take a 1.5 hour bus trip (1 way) there and back again, or pray to the apartment gods that the building manager is still in her office.

After this happening 2 times in 3 months, I finally found the wisdom to let my neighbor have a set of keys. O.o

Which came in handy 1 month later.  

I feel your pain darki

[darkstorme]

Ah, but my work keys and my home keys are on the same ring.  So if I'd left them at work, they'd be locked up there, and if I'd left them at home (as I did), they'd be locked up here.

Either way, scuppered!

[Chazzler]

ahh yes, sounds all so familiar

[darkstorme]

As stated above, this quest will be running five hours from now.

I've done this so many times, man, that I've found that anyone with an IQ greater than five and the ability to operate a screw driver can break in and steal  all my stuff.

It's a nice feeling.

You Might need to consider changing locks to something better than those that the screwdriver of lockpicking +1 can handle

It's the windows, not the locks.
