He would definitely be interested in the Plate armor. Isn’t Solemn signed up for a quest already? You can only have a character signed up to one quest at a time, regardless of dates. 

Chris said: I'm interested in bringing my Lvl 5 Ranger Nadia, PP 15, Survival +5. Can't officially sign up yet... Totally understandable , once a week or two out I will message those who showed interest if they want the spot.

Oh wait, now I see what you mean, the one on Tuesday... yeah, OK, I will wait and sign up for this one later if he survives.

Since I am now Lvl 2 from the global level bump, can Char Cousland be put on waitlist for this adventure if someone drops out. 12/+2

Ulysian Thracs said: Since I am now Lvl 2 from the global level bump, can Char Cousland be put on waitlist for this adventure if someone drops out. 12/+2 With Crimton having to drop out, you're welcome to join. Just bear in mind that you may not be 'back' from Barrowmaze in time. Check the in-game dates of both adventures and assume that the first will take 3-5 in-game days to complete. If you can't make it with Char, you're welcome to create up to five characters. You could take an alternate on this if Barrowmaze precludes you.

My apologies, Solemn is going to have to drop out of this one. I just had an unavoidable work appointment assert itself. 

I am sorry, too. One of my cases got moved up and I have to go to the office tomorrow. Please withdraw Sera from this session.

Just a fool The jester knight Adalius and his best friend and sidekick Sonnet vow to rescue the fair maiden from the dirty clutches of the Ettins. Adalius : Fear not cow man, i shall rescue your niece with the aid of my sidekick Sonnet and my trusty followers, this mission has scared many party members away but don't worry, i alone will save her if i must! Sonnet : Save her if i must!  Adalius : Exactly Sonnet! you have such a way with words! Let us adventure once again! The duo (with their followers) set off on their journey to rescue the cow niece, on their travels they spotted a strange sight, two monstrous snail creatures attacking and devouring poor peasants from the nearby village. Adalius : Fear not peasants! The mighty jester knight will save you! The party rushes forward to aid the townsfolk from these evil beasts, the two small fat children push forward to attempt to destroy the creatures, the little bald one had no luck except putting a large hole in the priceless shell of the snail monster. While the other equally small and bloated child with his curly moustache was too busy patting his robot mother to aid in the battle. Luckily for the townsfolk the mighty duo were amongst them, Sonnet danced around the one snail monstrosity, severing all the large flail-like tentacles, destroying it as Adalius single handily dispatched the other. Just another day for the jester knight. The heroes rested for the evening, growls and a squeaky voice could be heard passing the camp, a-ha another test! Adalius rushed out of his tent to se---- “OH NO! Sonnet! She has turned into wood just like Artemis! How has this happened again, there are no evil trees around just these weird dog things! I must get her out of here. I know! I need Dupre’s help, perhaps if he could distract them with the party I can grab her and get her away. AHH where is everyone, they are all running away! damn it i wish they could hear me! Please come back and help me save my best friend!!! please!! *sniff*” “I won't leave her here! I will save her!” “Dupre please help me!” “Ahh , i will try my best. I will get their attention just try and get her out of here” “Adalius run, they know you are there, it's too late for her. Don't die for nothing, we did all we could. Run my boy” “Sonnet is really gone? The first person to accept me for me, not a face I hide behind, not scared of the silly jester in front of her ...but the real me. Already gone after such a short time, am I cursed? Why does everyone that gains my friendship dies soon after, i don't think i want to be a hero anymore, i just want to go back home and pretend like none of this happened *sniff*.” “My little brother, my two best friends….gone because of me, I don't want anyone else to die because of me… they were all right, i’m no hero, just a fool.”

I’m not crying... you’re crying!!!

Poor Adalius :(

It’s the journey not the destination We all headed out on a journey to find Murdach’s missing niece. Joined with a wonderful collection of souls, there is a colour jester, a Kenku with a beautiful voice, a pirate looking Tiefling, a Eladrin in their winter cycle and two rather loud gnomes with metal friends following them. We wandered into the swamp with the sun on our backs and the wind guiding us to were it wanted us to go. The spirits of the swamp called to us, shaping our route to a pair of Flail Snails. I could feel their elemental energy causing an energic imbalance to the environment on this material plane and needed to be corrected; otherwise we will all feel the hurt and suffering that the fauna and flora are experiencing.  There snails were a difficult foe, despite me transforming into powerful creatures they still had the upper hand and the poor pirate – Plank his name was knocked out. The elemental imbalance affected one of the poor gnomes as well. I could sense his humours were misaligned which sent into a state of cowardice. Nevertheless we were successful and that evening we harvested what was left of the snails shell as a reward for our efforts The next two days brought a great blessing in my heart with each dawn as we continued with our noble endeavour. The radiant light of the sun guided us safely past a known Basilik den and a cursed place - the Mauseloum; whose very evil I could feel in my bones. By the end of the third day we came to a place called Borin’s Folly. The second evening was peaceful.   Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. The third night was a tragedy for our party. Mother Nature warned us of incoming danger with a messenger Kobold. Oh if only we listened to you! We were blinded by our arrogance and we paid dearly for it with Basilisks claiming the lives of Avil and Sonnet and the metal creatures. Poor Adalius I could feel your soul being tortured by the loss of your friend Sonnet . I tried to confront you but you must not lose yourself to grief! Dear Sonnet will never die as long as she lives on in your heart. Nothing in Nature is evil With heavy hearts our small party headed back to Hope making a detour to the cursed place. A constant night surrounded the area and I had this feeling that we were being watched. Looking around one of the Gnomes was able to point out that some of the structures around had icons of Orcus. This truly is a curse evil place if the lord of the undead is involved. Before leaving something caught our eyes. Some of the graves surrounding the area had familiar names on them – names of our friends and noble and very much alive Plank’s as well! What evil tricky is this! Hasn’t Adalius suffered enough? Plank and I had to drag him away from Sonnets grave before the Guardian Gargoyles decided to attack. This quest was not the one we set out for, but it is the one we found ourselves in. It’s the journey not the destination.
