Foresta accepts the order of march uncertainly and unwilling to commit to it verbally she merely takes her place behind Grog putting a slender hand up onto his shoulder briefly hidden behind his bulking figure. "You can protect us then. " She suggests, all the time shaping into a large shadowy winged creature which threatens to overshadow even Grog. Those watching might be excused for thinking the thing had a slight grin on it's face.

"That would work, if all goes well..but if the book cannot be ported....we will have split the party in two. Yet if the book goes first but closes the portal...we will have elft behind half the party....Unless we can ascertain the likelyhood of book travel then an even split would be wise!" Foresta offers

"That would work, if all goes well..but if the book cannot be ported....we will have split the party in two. Yet if the book goes first but closes the portal...we will have left behind half the party....Unless we can ascertain the likelyhood of book travel then an even split of skills would be wise!" Foresta offers adding in a more foreboding tone "Of course if the book is hijacked, or diverted in transit - the book holder may end up up very much alone."

I want it all, and I want it now! Thats the Branderback way. So how to go about it successfully thats the thing. Take the would be assassin Garnet. No doubt he was good at what he did. He killed freely but perhaps pointlessly. He was a legend and created fear. He was surely a doomed legend. But he did in his demise teach lessons. Here's my thinking. Avoid attention. Develop discipline. Always aloof. Strike silently. Lay off legends. Evolve emotions so as not to be drawn into poor business decisions and risks. One thing he did have going for him was people were uncertain about whether he was a Gnome or a Halfling for sure, and I could use that, Gnomes, Goblins, Ogres might be out of course but there was scope, I needed to develop disguises and establish credibility as a trader, yeah, I want it all, and I want it now! Thats the Branderback way.

"Strike while the iron is hot!" The blacksmith shouted as Thorn walked by towards the campfire at Center. Good advice thought Thorn as he met up with two loud mouthed adventurers. One was called Magnum or something and he had a gang of one and they intended to go take on the entire population of Ogres and Orcs that plagued the roads to the north. They promised they could raise a fortune by cutting them down and looting their treasure. Dubious Thorn went along anyway. Well to be fair they were pretty good at destroying everyone that got in the way. But the iron was not so hot and the blade a little blunt. Without focus they soon diverted to put to rest some undead Krandor way. Well that went well - for the necromancers. Magnum Painfully Incapacitated was laid low, the gang of one opted to leg it and Thorn was left the sole heroic figure to beat a dignified retreat. I mean it was random slaying. Surely it was better to secure the best payment for the most precise slaying work and then ...strike while the iron is hot!

Thorn Thistletoe the Seventh belatedly appears in front of the Town Crier at Center and rebukes the poor fellow regards his latest news. "Well I am glad that someone finally caught this terrible murderer who has cast a shadow over Halflings everywhere. It is good news my sister trading company is back on it's feet, finally. I run Thistle Traders you know, you might want to shout about that now and again!" Pausing for breath but sharp enough to get in again before the Crier can get to shouting again he adds."Yeah this one halfling terror has affected trade everywhere, and not every trading company has sufficient options and plans to keep on working under such adverse trading conditions -luckily Thistle Traders kept going....I say that's spelt.. THIST...." The Crier stares him down briefly and so Thorn cuts short his advertising campaign explaining "Yes well you get the idea. But that lot at the fallen Angel are all over the place right now I have a large stock of goods to go and they are log jammed up at their Barter drop off department. Shoddy really...hello...where are you going?"

Foresta agrees to remain with the group. "I think our movement through portals might serve to provide a little confusion as to our true destination. I know I am confused."

Hi there, hope you get yourself logged in soon. Still a good range of levels played and a plot quest on the go too.

*Foresta was waiting for Plen on this one she will accompany him likely depending on the plan* Foresta watching the group decide on their respective journeys turns to Plen to seek confirmation. "My understanding was you had agreed with Milara to take this book to a meeting with him. If this is not the case - where is the book going? where are you going? and how do you think this action will affect the greater balance? Do you think Milara will consider the status quo ended...will he be on the move? It's difficult to commit to well anything really but here now it all seems so uncertain." //for completeness, without an answer in time, Foresta will drift off from the party and head for the Great Oak, intending to catch them up or make her own way to their destination.

Willing and able to take advantage of the safety of the city Thorn considered it important to stay close to Trent and his tasks. Even when another opportunity presented itself in the form of one angry Charlie pushing his weight about at the same time offering freely cash for a little information. Short term alliances were good of course but if you were aiming to take the whole cart why tie yourself to one of the wheels by setting boundaries, accepting unnecessary hierarchy. Charlie hinted heavily to some risky past but Thorn thought it was better to remain aloof, reaffirm his trust in the passing Guard Captain than risk subserviance to another. He gave the information he wanted and got paid sure enough. His companion Kat was more interesting a cleric of Deliar, she had a few tips about trading which was Thorn's way into acceptability - willing and able to take advantage of the safety of the city!

Foresta keeps pace with the group, often looping around the group in various forest forms that seem to suit the region. She seems more interested in the woods at large rather than the lively debate to and fro. However she surfaces long enough to see Plen walking backwards. She shrugs, eyebrows firmly arched, and asks of the group at large "Do you recall Milara invited us to take anything we found we wanted as he had no interest. Given his detailed knowledge of the book location it seems remiss of him not to realise that would have likely left us trapped there or indeed dead. So to take up an earlier point about what he really expected us to do - Did he even expect us to get out? I'm confused as to what he really expected. As it stands it does not entirely make sense. But that fits in with the group so far. So where are you going again and for why?

Greed and self preservation required a fine balance. Thorn had decided in this case that greed was more imprtant. he had elected not to take an army with him to kill the Kobold. Two reasons, Trues and kudos. Trues were better in his pocket than shared among adventurers. When he thought it through and he had been in no rush there was a gain in establishing credibility in Hempstead where previously he had known fear and distrust. So he had once again waited until the bulk of the guards were distracted and went after the leader making sure his attention too was directed elsewhere before pouncing. Only carefully placed slingshots fired after some sneaking into position did proper damage. Something learned. Job done he told the Captain what a great battle had occurred. Greed and self preservation required a fine balance.

Forests picks up on the question to the Druids. "I cannot speak on the others behalf, indeed I would not. However I have to say I don't imagine the book will be going anywhere near tree travel. Indeed such a thing may not even be possible. I certainly don't consider it wise. The Bird Lord has committed to returning the book to Milara so I suppose that is where it is going. She continues to scan the woods seeking signs of danger and what reaction there is to the passing of the 'loud book'. Anyway who was standing behind Milara ?

Why should you take the blame for something that was mean't to happen. Now that was what Thorn was thinking as he crossed the square near the east gate at Hempstead. He had a thousand ready answers to the question but one of the Guard Captains was still walking purposefully towards him. Did he know him? had he been identified with Sage and the rest of the gang? He eyes the escape routes he had pre prepared warily. He opted to hold his nerve. "Hey you there, a word !" Captain Trent demanded. Well the long and short was he thought Thorn could do with a few true for bringing a Kobold raider to heel. Well his money was as good as anyone else's and it would do no harm to be known around town as someone who was prepared to help. No doubt Old Trenty there expected Thorn to round up a large gang and go out and do battle...and say why had he thought he looked as if he needed some true! Thorn considered. Maybe not such a bad idea after all Why should you take the blame for something that was mean't to happen.

Foresta sends birds to the bird Lord hoping she can find him soon with some news before the adventurers plan their next adventure. "We should meet to discuss your quest for information upon my return to civilization. I will try and find you."

Halflings were not famous for rushing. Halflings were not famous for fighting. Halflings generally were not famous at all. The thing was Thorn wanted it all and that needed some true and then some. So the thing in the sewer was history, but lets not rush thought Thorn. Sage had developed his journey in the worship of Branderback sufficiently for Thorn to take up prayers and spelling himself. Therefore returning to sage to reinvent their previous arrangement would only hold him back. No Thorn wanted it all and he was going to go out and take it! So first a little practise a little prayer. He would stand up tall for a halfling, strike out on his own, maybe return to Sage when he was a little taller, on a more even basis. Him in charge even, why not. First the rats, lots of little sewer infected rats he practised on from a safe distance. Finally he found the target and distracted away the guards. No doubt Martha had hoped he would kill all them too for free, but not this halfling. He struck the leader a nice blow with slingshot, which dazed it. He followed it up and the creature was down. He rushed forward quiet as rat food and snatched proof of the deed and was gone before the others noticed. Halflings were not famous for rushing.

Simply layo heaven. All of these fixes are going to be great, some of these ideas sound terrific - Increasing fortune for diversifying your exploration with groups, the more the merrier. The more unique areas you visit the higher the rewards become! (more on that soon too)
This kind of thing can only breathe life into the forgotten corners of the world. and - GMs can now create transitions wherever they want. Whether its a "hole" showing up in the middle of Center or a doorway that leads to a Quest Area, they can plop them down on the fly.
this puts exploration right back where it belongs! I am inspired Sir.

Outstanding addition at this stage to solve an age old problem, and I can instantly think of a few situations where this is indeed likely to be - a really fun addition. It will be well suited to the surge of evil sneakies lurking around the server recently. I look forward to the additional RP. Can I confirm if someone dubs themselves or another, can they later re dub them a new name?
