I'm never bored. I've got a special +10 bonus against all boredom saves. If I Aid Another, does he get to use the bonus too?
Also, I just realized that there is at least one other BCS mage who was working with Vonotar: the wizard who breaks into Loi-Kymar's home in the mini-adventure in the new Book 3.

I did not know that. If you think about how long the Darklords had to infiltrate the freelands, though, it is not surprising that they would have infiltrated many organizations. A thousand years is a long time to build up and set your plans in motion. In saying this, who knows who or what could be our adversaries during the upcoming adventures. The prelude to the game hints at long planned plots.

Yes, and some of Zagarna's old sleeper agents were probably never activated and would still be in place. He obviously must have had plans for after what he thought was the inevitable fall of Sommerlund, so he'd have planted resources in many lands that would one day be useful. These would have been inherited by Haakon and then Gnaag.

And be warned, Maerin then takes all these to the nth degree. I expect ths to be a very interesting game to watch from the sidelines. And point. And laugh. Anyway, gotta get ready to walk brazenly into the castle of the person who slaughtered a mercenary band before we got there us. Laugh later if alive

And be warned, Maerin then takes all these to the nth degree. What? I turn a minor wannabe villain and a mysteriously missing sage in Ragadorn, both of whom have the briefest of mentions in a single game book, into two of the most powerful agents of Evil in Northern Magnamund (outside of the Darklands) and everyone just assumes I always do such things... Okay, okay, maybe there IS more than once piece of evidence to support such an assumption.

Yeah yeah, don't try and pretend you also didn't introduce the anti-alyss too because you could only kill two players characters at a time with lesser NPCs...

In response to a couple questions I received, I updated the game rules with a comment about "conversation" posts. Let me know if there are any questions. I know it is a bit more inconvenient to do it that way then to just hit Reply or the like, but it helps keep the post count manageable. I am going to be trying to archive the game going forward (learning from past mistakes), and that will help.

I'll be taking a short holiday between July 23 and 26. Maerin has agreed to run Ector as needed. I don't yet know if I will be unable to post while I'm away, but can't make any promises.

Hi All I mentioned this to Mearin a while ago, but I only have very limited internet access for the next few weeks, so he will be running Alba on autopilot unless I post during the day. Although, given what I have seen so far, this is looking good, I can only immagine what Mearin is up to! Al

We all wish we could get into Mearin's head.......I feel like a target has been painted on my chest. Aside from that nuance, I am also really excited!

I am not making this an "official" ruling yet, because I have not seen it occur. However, just as an FYI, I will probably suspend the game temporarily if more than half of you end up gone for whatever reason.
