// So its my fault then?
// Folks, it seems there has been a misconception here about whats IC and OOC. I think in reading it its fairly clear the initial comment was IC and the following comments most likely OOC. In my defense I have assumed (perhaps wrongly) that both Talan and Lalaith's comments were OOC relating to the original post and my flippant remark about Corathites is most obviously OOC referring to Lalaiths comments about 'You can't kill the dead.' My apologies for not putting the // here to emphasise that point. I suggest people just take a step back and view whats been stated in their intended form rather than as a conspiracy to create an element of uncaring.
So..let me clear the air for the record in an OOC fashion.
// Yes its a shame that some people panic and flee the scene of a combat fearing that their character is about to die. Yes its s shame that sometimes they lead monsters where they are not supposed to and yes, sometimes people can get hurt from that. Some people also do not even realise they are being followed until its too late. Sometimes bad things happen and we and our characters have to live with that. SS and XP loss are all part of the 'game'. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Now for a proper 'Wild Surge Inn' IC account from Tarradon Duvall upon seeing the note.
*Tarradon frowns momentarily taken away from his well worn book as his eyes pick out one of the many notes on the wall. Sadly he sighs at the dangers that many face when leaving the gates of Hlint. For a moment though he remembers the times when any who stepped foot outside the gates of the city at night would be set upon by fearsome ghouls and undead creatures as well as the feared undead knights. How soon people forget things like that, they become past history so quickly. Taking a moment of time Tarradon leans forward out of his chair to grab a quill and add an additional addendum to the notice.*
Dear Sir,
I recognise the horror with which you have viewed this unfortunate set of circumstances and I pray that you recover fully from your ills. But I am also concerned too and pray that the one fleeing from the danger was able to do so safely or whether he too lies dead and abandoned in some corner of the forest alone having finally succumbed to the spiders attacks completely oblivious tot he fact that others who also suffered his fate now cursed him.
If however this persons did so intentionally then I suggest you bring the matter to the attention of the authorities so that they canfully investigate the matter.
Tarradon Duvall
