The failure of crops to thrive and heavy losses in farming animals is taxing the food stores of many kingdoms. Several good years and wise leadership in some areas will mean that the impact is lessened.
Healers hope that whatever scourage holds the lands, the dormancy of winter cleanses the soil for the next growing season. One hopes that when the harvest season rolls around next year that things will not look so dire.

Some of you may have seen the calandar event for my new series. Due to some requests and events in game and out I am moving this to start in Jan. 'Tis the season for family events and parties so it was a poor start time choice for me. The series is aimed to involve those higher level characters (19+) and all alignments are welcome by me (but not necc by the eventual party that forms). It should run no longer than 5 sessions and I hope to have these at minimum monthly and maybe bi weekly if things pan out. Each session should be 3-4 hours maximum. The timezone is chosen for my comfort, my apologies to the Aussies and GMT players but at least its semi weekend time in most timezones. Since the main quest is being moved, keep an eye out for in game impromptus leading up to it to have it make sense. That means those high level characters might want to be out and about to be see what's going on in the world  .

The area around the Foundation Guild hall is buzzing with activity. While always a busy place, there seems to be more activity than is the norm. New faces, some looking bewildered and ragged, others grateful and industrious bustle around the building. Carts arrive bearing fruits of the recent harvest and adventuring souls deposit donations of grains and other products withing the halls. On fine days women can be seen sitting in the open windows, chatting as hands busily tie bunches of onions into ropes or spinning wheels turn tufts of fleece into warm wool skeins. Looms can be heard clacking as well as the scent of meals being prepared for those working. Those entering the building would see make shift bunks along the walls and children darting about under the watchful eye of matrons and teenage girls alike. Strong backs arrange supplies and carry barrels and sacks to and from carts. Little boys play pirate as they chatter about ships being loaded. Some where in the mix the familiar form of Katrien is seen occasionally but more often as not it is her burly and jovial foreman Henry that is directing the organized chaos.

Within hours of messages arriving at the harborside home of the Foundation head, the dockside building springs into action. Men can be seen loading hand carts and a few caravaan wagons with sacks of grain, barrels of salted meat, wine, ale and crates of the first of the harvest apples and root crops. Bolts of strong cloth and staves are loaded into the wagons as women sit on the ends of the carts stiching what looks like tent panels. The red headed Katrien is directing the distrubution of materials and the formation of the caravaan. Lightly armored and armed men form up to protect the goods as they leave the gates of Port Hempshire and head north. Rumor is they are heading to the bard's former home town in Hlint as some sort of catastophy has happened there. The lady herself mounts a chestnut horse and rides ahead out of the city and in the same direction after relaying requests to other guild members and friends. A trained falcon flies at her side as she paces her mount over the fields out of the city.  // The Foundation has a large amount of supplies ready and on their way to the town. Kat plans to head to Drake ahead of the convoy to ask for some of the fall harvest to be sent to Hlint. The armsmen are under the command of NPC Braonan and suitable amount for their hire will be taken from Foundation accounts. //any PC's that wish to assist the Foundation please contact me.

I came home from work to find my main computer dead. Its going to the shop tomorrow and I can still check the forums and such but it was the machine I had NWN on so I cannot be in game in GM or player capacity until I either get it repaired or install NWN on my back up machine.
Just a heads up - prolly won't effect much but you know how murphy's law is and as soon as I can't do something I'll need to.

 This is my new quest series. It will run on Saturday nights from 8pm eastern to 11:30pm and maybe the occassional marathon session if I (and the party) are up to it. To keep things enjoyable for me and conversely for you [no one likes a cranky GM] I am imposing some limits and expectations to this series. First I will not lock it unless the party finds themselves in a place that its not concievable for new people to be or people not on a previous episode to be. The party size will be 12 or less. In the beginning if more show then dice will decide, as things progress there may be episodes where some have earned preference. I will make every attempt not to exclude people so if in doubt show up. Some times I am feeling better than others and will take more but I want to put a staring limit at 12. Also, if you know at the beginning you cannot commit to the entire session (note I said session, not series) please do not take a spot from someone who could commit to the whole session. I am more than understanding about sick kids, drunk roommates needing bail and the like, but knowing you have to be at work 1/2 way into the event or something just is not fair. This is a quest about the story, the process and the getting there. It will be RP heavy. You can expect character consequences and dilemmas. At times you might have session where you go absolutely nowhere physically and everywhere developmentally. You might have a session with seat of your pants TPK pending action too but don't count on them too often unless some are very silly or not thinking. It is for developing personalities and stories not leveling. I will (as much as I can with my busy personal and professional life) try am meld your character into the story as I can. I may make you uncomfortable or make you think about things you never thought your character might have to face. There will be puzzles. There will be red herrings and brick walls and loose ends. The quest is open to all alignments and classes and races. Party dynamics however may exclude some or make things more difficult for monsterous races and evil alignments. This is part and parcel of playing these characters. As your GM I will not exclude you but you can be assured that the NPCs will react appropriately and your party may turn hostile on you. All that said. This quest is for characters level 1 -15. If you start the quest series and level past 19 I will be asking you to retire or take a minimal role. I am telling you this up front. I expect this to last for at least 4 if not 6 months and run for about 6 hours a month in game time and whatever effort the party puts into role play between sessions either ingame or on the forums. For some it may spawn CDQs with me or other GMs. [SIZE=18]Calendar link[/SIZE] Nova/Minerva

Bags of Loot and chests of treasure...
In honor of St Paddy's Day, several very nice "Pots of Gold" have been scattered around the lands both above and below.
Have fun finding them. When the server resets their gone. First come basis, they will not refill.

First one was so much fun, I'm going to do this again on Feb 21
This time I'm giving a tad more notice and trying for a neutral timezone so as many as possible can participate.
[SIZE=16]Rules.[/SIZE]
1) Teams of 2-8 players - you make the teams, not me. You can form them before the event or from whomever shows up. My only request is that vetran players and novice players make an effort to team up together to share the Layonara experience and get to know one another.
2) Teams must stay together. No splitting in different directions to cover as much ground as possible. The only exception would be if particular players were mechanically (ie less than level 10 needing to enter an advanced craft hall) or RP (paladin of Toran entering another temple) able to follow. Those players would wait for their team at the most sensible spot, not wander off on their own.
You may band together to accomplish a difficult task.
3) You have four hours to gather as many of the items as possible. You must return to the start point within the time allowed to qualify. In the event of a tie, the team with the most items in the shortest time wins. Time is recorded when at least 75% of the team is back. Last time we had some lag issues that almost disqualified a team - pay attention but I will make some allowances for slower computer systems.
4) Some items will have enough for all teams to collect and others will be limited. Limited items are a first come, first served basis. You can, as stategy take multiple items unless I have a sign or tag not to. This can be part of your strategy if you wish. I will do my best to make the location as unabigious as possible, however as brilliant as a I am :p I do not know every spawn on the server. If you are after bees knees and find a source that I was unaware of, you may be out of luck. This happened last time, I will try not to let it happen again.
5) If you are playing on the servers while I am setting up - please don't take the items from the scavenger teams.
6) There will be items that will require killing an animals/creatures to obtain and others that could be obtained by passive means or gathering. This will allow more passive characters the choice to participate in a non violent manner without direct GM intervention, but choices and RP within the group are part of the fun. Items will be tagged special for the scavenger hunt such that raiding of guild hall supplies and personal stores will not give an advantage.
7) Besides bragging rights, the winning team will have an undetermined prize pot and a "really nice item" to roll for within the group. Second place will have a consolation prize for team members.
Please note - this is for all levels. There will be items that only an epic party might obtain and those that players of any level may obtain. It it more about knowing where things are on the server and exploration than levels. Please don't feel intimidated if you are a lower level. This is a great oppertunity to explore and get to know your fellow players.

Posted in areas where the literate might read then and given to local town criers to announce in areas ravaged by the recent waves. A tent with the flag of the Sunese crest is also present in such areas to deal with inspections.
