Warriors, travelers and most others...BEWARE...There is something amiss in our world!!
While traveling through the drift dune desert with trustworthy companion and fellow warrior, Elewin Trubidor, we came upon, no not scorpians of unusual size, but several camps of Skeleton Pirates. Yep you heard it...er,,,seen it here!
We set about doing what warriors do and cleaned them up...argh!
Now that being strange enough, when we returned to Hempstead...we found a Wanted Poster, for a reward for the killin of these scallywags..
So we went to our friend Captain Trent and he indeed rewarded us...but he warned us of more of these bands lurking about!
So that set us to searching out more of these pirate devils and collecting some of their ill got goods to boot.
So if ya see anything out there in your travels about...beware..and please let Trent know what ya found...it could be the sign of things to come..Beware!!

Yeah the tiles are lush and fun to get around in...just trying to stay there is the challenge..had to resuce more than one adventurer out of there..but then again that is an adventure in its self!!
I think ultimately NWN is indeed dated, but you get used to the glitches and bugs and have fun anyway.
See ya IG...probably stuck in the muck of the moors!!;)

Nope dont buy it...i'm not the only one in the same party experiencing it...and then getting stuck and not being able to log back on...that one spot in Black Dogs Moors..between first and second area ....it's bugged!
And not everyone has it happen at the same time sometimes yes and sometimes I'm not doing anything nor is anyone else but just standing there...unless of course it's not really a bug but a ghostie...either way it's a pain.

Welcome back! I am quite new here myself, but we have already had a chance to meet in game, and I must say, you are doing quite well.
I'm sorry to hear of your recent RL issues, but I'm glad to see you are getting yourself centered again. Keeping yourself distracted with something creative is always healing. Good for you!
After looking at your profile, I just realized that we live just a stones throw (or max ride) away from each other! My family and I live in the Aloha area.  fellow Oregonian...cool, look forward to some more IG action...thanks for the good RP!

Took a fall and grazed the Soul Mother on the way by...she failed to tag me!
Fell with a group, that I didn't feel comfortable with in the first place...too chaotic..Omer was leading. Some where in the Spline Mts. NO place for a greenhorn..just didnt' know any better..dang idiot.
I hit that Awakend she wench a couple of times but she got the best of me and down I went..not a pretty sight between those two Baylors..and Krys bleeding to death!
I best stick to crafting and gathering around local...feels more comfortable..least ways till i get to know my way around more.
Didn't have Ferrit there to take care of me..hate traveling without her around..she keeps me safe.
It's kind of hard to find the right party to travel with don't know many and some of these characters...sheesh..and I thought Dur..was crazy!
Been learning more and more about my crafts and soon I shall be moving up to more sophisticated leather armors and such. Ferrit has let me have free hand at doing whatever I need and so far things have gone well.
Want to start woodworking again, some tinkering and maybe focus on Alchemy..since I need the healing potions.
I wonder about my mom and Diedra back home..hope all is well with them? Tired and not much to say right now...*falls over in bed* ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz........

I don't socialize much, just keep to myself and keep busy with crafting and more crafting. Get out once in a while to gather materials and knock some Kobold and Goblins around.
Haven't seen much of the guild folks, everyone seems so busy...like a big business, instead of a family...things have changed in more than one way.
It was good to venture with Dalan...he's like an old comfortable shoe..I just feel som relaxed around him. His and my style work together well, he's fun.
I did get a chance to go on a major outing with some of the guild folks..Ferrit (always the mom looking out for me) and Jako...this fellow Krys...not sure of his whole name. I dont even know the other fellow in the group...a bit persnickity but helpful enough. Altogether a good time and no deaths...that's good. I think I might have surprised a few of those folks with my abilities. Hacked a few giants and held my own. Well almost.
I think people see me as a kid and not able to fight...fight like Elgon...Dalan mentioned that too. But Elgon did teach me and all I got to do is practice...kind of miss Kyle though. Haven't seen him and Daniel, no where to be found. Seems that my fighting buddies are gone or missing or??
Ferrit is still awesome with her bow...she's good and she's kind of taken me back as an apprentice...well not officially. I've always liked Ferrit, kinda like the mom I wish i would of had.
I wonder how my mom is doing? I don't know if it was wise to leave Diedra there with her...but I had to get back to the Angels and let them know how I was and ....such. I'm afraid kto go back to the farm..cause the Angels will think ..there he goes again..when will we see him again.
Elgon would not approve of me letting down his new found family...they even named their Guild Hall after him...Merick Hall...go figure...I have to stay true to these folks. I owe them so much..and for the memory of Elgon..I must press on.
I'm tired now, thank the Angels for a bed and a warm blanket...good people I say...and Elgon was right about them..yes he was...he was...*turns sad for a moment* Yes he was such a friend...I still miss Elgon...I hope I can be to the Angels what he was.
I worry about Diedra and my mom....so tired now...tanned 30 hides today...just tired....ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I'm back ....yes..... really back from the brink of death.
It seems so long ago but of such recent pain to me.....I guess I shouldn't have returned to the Merrick's farm....my former home. I just...had to see my mother again and the old homestead. I told no one of my leaving...for that I am ashamed.
I did get to see my mother and to see her deteriorating so rapidly was depressing. I didn't want to stay on but she needed my help and after all she is my family....well besides my two worthless brothers. God knows where they ran off to and left mother to run the farm.
I miss Hlint and the people I knew...my other family...the Angels. But I must do what is right by my mother...and help her until my brothers return. Tis my duty and duty is what I had learned from Elgon.
Unfortunately times were tough and things got worse for us at the farm. There was little food and things had gotten so run down since my father had passed away.
One day when I was out hunting in the late afternoon, just before dark. I took down a young yearling buck with my bow and arrow. It desperately ran into the brush and laid down to die...but when I came up on it's carcass...God's be saved..I was surrounded by a marauding band of orcs
I tried my best to run but I was so unprepared with nothing but a skinning knife in hand. I slashed a few but I stood no chance against the armored brutes. I was knocked out and dragged somewhere...I don't remember much..just awakening enough to see cliffs and a cave.
Once inside they hobbled me and tied a gag around my mouth. They threw me into the stinking rear of the cave and left me for death to consume in it's excrutiating own time and way. It seemed like an eternity passed before I could hear their ugly gutteral gruntings they call language, I was oblivious to much of anything. I guess since I didn't die they assigned one particularly disgusting orc to feed and water me...and to allow me to relieve myself, where I lay of course.
I drifted in and out of conciousness and the days were nights for there was no natural light in this part of the cavern. Slowly I regained some capabilities and strength...but I gave no indication of my regained strength. Eventually I attacked my keeper when the others had gone and I escaped that cavern prison.
I wandered aimlessly for weeks trying to get my bearings. In what seemed an eternity of suffering and pain, persistence paid off and I eventually found familiar landmarks and made my way back home. I was seriously worried about my mother as I knew she was not well and would be struggling with the farm chores. I knew that my wretched brothers would not be around to help, even though they were to return within the month.
However, much to my surprise when I arrived home, I found this half Elven girl nursing my sick mother. She introduced herself as Deidra, Deidra Merrick!
I nearly passed out from surprise and shock, then curiosity took over. How and when, from where? I had thought Deidra dead years ago as I had been told by my mother. I was in tears of joy to see her and my mother doing so well. Praise be the Gods!
Once things were situated, I knew that I had an important task ahead of me, I must return to my friends in Hlint. So with Deidra's blessing and promise to care for my mother until my brothers returned, I set out to Hlint...or what I thought to be Hlint.
Gazing around at the trails that I thought I knew, I began to realize that some changes had come about in the land. Eventually I made my way to Port Hampshire...or Hempstead as it is now called. I immediately found my Angel family and was welcomed home! Without hesitation or malice or anything...as if I had only been gone for a week..(wipes tears from his eyes). What more can a man expect from his family...and my friends. Being restored to a former place of honor, with genuine respect and without hesitation..I'm overwhelmed by the generosity of these folk...the Angels.
Such good people, why am I so blessed with such good friends.uh...no...such a loving family! Elgon...that's how...he was the one...he was with them from the beginning. He helped start what is now a prosperous arts and crafts guild. He devoted himself to these ..people that he didn't even know...and they returned his love and devotion. I had no idea such folk exsisted in this world today.
I can only hope that this is not just some dream that I shall awaken from...becuase it just seems too good to be true. People giving to one another and helping each other...my own flesh and blood won't do that. I loved Elgon because he was the kind of person that represented what these folk say and do. He gave of himself without thought of greed or selfishness, he supported and came to the cause of those that could not do for themselves. I remember him and Rain would talk for hours about this dream of a guild....not for profit but to help others and to give and serve when they could.
I was proud to be able to battle along side of the likes of Rain, Kyle, Ferrit, Mercas. Lord knows I miss Elgon but the healing is still going on in my heart...he was a good man and a product of being with good people..The Angels. I am proud to be a part of such a group of good people and may the guild members, never forget the dream that Rain and Elgon had of helping others, especially those in need of a helping hand, those that are down hearted and weak in spirit and those that can't defend themselves against the evil and unrighteous of this world. Tall order, but the dream lives on and everyday it gets better, closer to the dream that the founding members saw, a dream that seems like just a few years ago started in a little craft house in a distant town that was the beginning of what has been the union of the good people of the Guild of Angels.
I wish there was a way to say thanks to Elgon but I will be content to serve the founding members to the best of my ability and try to live the dream..the life...the way that Elgon would have me do. Yes serving and helping others, and being honest and true oneself and to others as well. That is what my life is about from this day forward in the memory of Elgon and in the company of The Angels...so be it!:)

I've changed email addresses and my account may not be transferrable at Bioware. I don't have a current one now, is that something I need to do using my new email address?
That's too bad about Lance then...spent many a good time working on him.
Thanks.

lately but especially today, i experienced an unusual amount of game crashes..mostly associated with transtions and mostly with the new tile sets.
Once it took me four times to log back in during a transtion in the swamps of sorrows.
Anyone else experiencing any problems? I know Elred did yesterday or was that today..same scenario..had to log back in multiple times to get the game to work. Happened in the Black Dogs Moors, i also in Black Dogs Moors.
Any connection to the newTile Sets or just on my side of the conection?

While I am reflecting on my ignorance, death, and near miss with the Soul Mother. I thought it might be a good time to leak out some insights about me as a person.
My kids consider me from an older generation and older than most that are playing here on Layo..gray hair, not blue and still some left! OH yeah and two grandkids.
My first experience with PW's and whatever other acronyms exsist out there, was here on [SIZE=24]Layo[/SIZE]...because it sounded friendly. I was leary at first and very unsure about "gaming on line", thought it was for geeks and kids.
The people here have made it easy to play, RP and burn and slash as well.
I got to play for about six months before RL "stuff" happened and my gaming at Layo came to a screaching halt. My computer was stolen, lost my home, nearly my job, and am separated with divorce soon. Sanity was close at hand for months and I found myself missing Layo..more than my soon to be ex.(lol)
I am a social worker for the State (you figure out which one) and the job is often stressful and overwhelming. My view of society and the people in it has started to become only slightly jaded. People in my line of work tend to see all people as we see our "clients".
So..it is my sanctuary here in [SIZE=24]Layo[/SIZE]....it's my, therapy if you will...and I really enjoy myself here. Mind you that I'm just learning about RP/IG and have much to learn..so bear with Me..Lance and Diedra Merrick...if I seem too intense at gathering or crafting..well just kick me and say Howdy!
Coming back to Layo was a natural and I've made cyber friends here, seems silly but that's the way it feels. I feel part of a family here and even though I'm not the most social of people...that's becasue I'm a social worker..?Huh? I mean to say; Well it sometimes is hard to lighten up or open up to others..so I appreciate anyone's and everyone's help with RPing and having fun here at Layo.
I don't insult easy and if I do get insulted, I sulk and get over it..so hit me with your best shots.
The only thing now that can interfere with gaming is flyfishing and that dreaded sleep and eating routine! Se you all IG!
Big thanks to the Staff and of course "L"

I have the most horrible news...news that I don't want to deliver, but I must...he needs to know. How do I word it...what do I say? Lance must know of his mother's passing...I must find him imediately!
I know he mentioned some people...called angels or something like that. I just can't remember the names...somewhere in a town called Hampshire...no...no...Hempsville, dang!
Well anyway I found this town called Port Hempstead, that is my only hope of finding my cousin Lance Merrick.
He knew his mother was ill when he left...why would he be so anxious to return to this place. The people are snooty and stuck up..nothing friendly or nice about this city.
I hate cities anyway, so who am I to judge...this stinking place. I just want to get the word to him so I can go back to the mountains of my home. Where I can roam free and happy.
What do people do for food here, there's no game anywhere and the water here tastes like bath water. Stinkin cities!
So my first day in this hole and not one person even acknowledged my exsistence yet alone talk with me. Guess I just need to be more ...forward with people but I certainly don't trust any of these..folk. Hope those Angels of Lance's are more likable than the citizenery of this pig sty.
Don't know where I'll sleep or if I should sleep given the looks of the crowd around here. I wish I could find Lance...I'm sure he could help me and I could do what I came to do...Poor boy...I never liked his mom much and I think the feelings were mutual.
In fact, I never really liked the Merrick family at all and after what Lance's mom told me I hate em even more. She is probably crazy anyway, or just burnin with fever and not making much sense. It just can't be...I hate this family and just hope the old witch was lying about my mom and my uncle *cringes* oooo....yuck..the thought of that digusting man being my father.
That just can't be....that....that would make Lance and me brother and sister...and Elgon ....a have brother... Merricks!
oooo..here come some really strange people...I gotta get out of here!

This might be the wrong approach but I couldn't get an email through to anyone.....Long time ago (for me that is) in Layonara was a character by the name of Elgon Merrick....He died!
Along came his cousin Lance Merrick, he got lost in the wilderness....but in reality what happened was my computer was stolen in November and I just got it back...Yeah....or so it seemed.
Someone at the PD decided to reformat the hard drive. Well there went all my passwords and user names and for that matter my email too.
So now I have a new user name, password and email, oh yeah and new video card too!
So now I'm not sure what to do with Lance Merrick...I would like to RP him back into Layo...but...I'm not sure if I can do that or how for that matter.
So for now I will develop a new character to play...so much has changed since last August 2006...It will take some getting used to.
Hope I can do this....if not please help me understand what I need to do?
I'm sure most players thought I had died....sort of did in a way without my "puter" and Layo..!
Not sure how to let you know my email without telling the uninterested Layo world?
I would aprreciate any assistance you can offer and my apologies for leaving so abrubtly. I missed this place dearly!!
