Scipio glared once more at Moppet, then turned to face the rest of the party. 'Now....like I said, we need stealth, silence, and subtlety. Watch closely...' At this he put a finger to his lips as he crept towards the great, orange door, then stealthily whipped out a woodaxe. He then proceeded to smash the door in with loud cries of, 'Take that!' and, 'I'll have you!', and, 'This orange door reminds me of the kind they used to have in my childhood town!' The rest of the party gaped at him, lost for words. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 | Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00 |

Even if Ireland does eventually get outside attention, I doubt there is much that can be done. Invading Iraq/Afghanistan is one thing, but I would be surprised if an armed invasion would be approved of. After all, Iraq is in the Middle East, and Ireland is much nearer to Britain so obviously we couldn't do that - because we're so much more important than the Iraquis, aren't we? Having said that, the US didn't seem to care about invading Iraq without international approval. Perhaps when Tony Blair is ousted from office (and after the huge mess that was the Iraq war, I'm certain he will be) things will change. But I still am doubtful. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 | Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00 |

Does anyone know if it would be possible to build a BoA scenario from fragments? e.g. 10 different people each make a town, then send them to 1 person, who can then mash it all together (metaphorically). Will this be any easier than with BoE? -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 | Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00 |

I suppose you could cut a Shakespeare play down a bit....take Othello for instance... Act 1, Scene 1 [Enter Othello and Desdemona] Othello:Let us away to Cyprus where we may kill all the cruel Turks! Desdemona: I will away with thee, my liege! Othello: Away we go then! Desdemona: Othello, I love thee!

Scipio stood up, feeling the need to bring about some kind of order to the evening's proceedings. 'All right everyone, stop shouting a second. Kel-Aziz, my friend, we have no gold to give you yet. As a 'deposit', I am sure Moppet will be happy to give you a luxury room here at the Inn tonight.' Moppet glared at Scipio, then hopped off into the corner and flapped his ears huffily. 'When we reach the Necrophile's lair, and slay him, you will receive your pay.' stated Scipio, hoping that Nicky the Necro had a lot of gold. 'If you choose to stay on with us to the fabled cave, then you will receive a bonus. Do you accept?' Moppet was looking highly affronted. He was sure that negotiating this sort of thing was his job. As before, he flapped his ears huffily.

And so the noble party of adventurers spent their first night together at the Inn of Blades. They were all very weary, given the day's activities, and most of them simply sat at the bar chatting (again, Moppet, finding this difficult, hopped onto the bar itself) - all but one. Wise Man sat in a different corner, prodding and poking what appeared to be a black catskin. Triksiana went over to see what he was up to, and closer examination soon revealed that what had appeared to be a catskin was in fact a voodoo puppet of Nicky the Necro. He was putting the final touches to the hideous, yet cuddly-cute 'doll'. 'Ooooooh,' exclaimed Triksi, 'that stuff works?' Wise Man looked up 'Yes, this 'stuff' does work. I am going to use this 'stuff' to probe 'Nicky''s mind.' 'Does that mean we can see things like....what brand of bubble bath he uses?' Wise Man raised his eyebrows in a wise, discerning manner. 'Lady, do you think that our defeating this evil necromancer really hinges on what products he uses for personal hygiene?' At this comment, Kel-Aziz suddenly turned to face Wise Man in the corner. 'Well, actually, I think you'll find it does...'

'Aha!' yelled Moppet suddenly, ears flapping triumphantly. 'I know his face....and his name for that matter.' He looked thoughtful. He continued to look thoughtful. Finally emerging from his daydream about a holiday on the Great Lettuce Farms of Vegotonia, he spoke again. 'We were....ah, yes.... Deus Absit was his name. Decent man.....well at least he used to be. That was before he started insulting the colour of my fur. "Only white rabbits are worthy of anything", he said to me, "now get back in your cage!". Well, these things happen.' The rest of the party gaped at him. Moppet was being unusually informative. Even Butch caught on with the drift and pretended to look surprised. 'Well,' said Triksi firmly, 'I'm glad we cleared that one up. Now, enough talking, and enough taking onboard everyone who walks through the doors. We're hitting the toad!' Everyone stared at the buxom barmaid. 'Er, I mean road!', she finished uncertainly. At this a stream of complaints began to issue from the mouths of several of those present. Moppet began to complain that he had not had a flea bath for the past 6 hours. Scipio was already tired from running after sheep to make haggis with, and failing to catch any. 'Well...... we could just stay here for a few days first....hell, it's only Nicky the Necro after all!' The effect of the mushrooms had made them forget entirely about the fruit monger . If only they had been snappier getting hold of that rice....

The party stared at this strange intruder styling himself 'The_Nazgul'. OOC: I suppose so. Just stay IC from now on Also, we should probably officialy distribute character parts. We're getting a bit....lax _files/smile.gif) Here's what I propose:Myself:Adventurer Onomatopoeia:Triksi Wise Man: Guess who.... Moppet: Anyone? I personally prefer writing it this way, but I wouldn't mind either way. IC: The party decided to search for an antidote to the strange mushrooms they had eaten. They knew that Henri would have been able to come up with just the thing, but of course he could no longer be trusted. The adventurer and Moppet sat (or rather, Moppet hopped onto a chair and stood on his hind legs) at a table, looking through Henri's old recipe book for a suitable antidote. 'Well', said the adventurer, 'hollondaise seemed to work with asparagus.....but what goes with mushroom?' Moppet pretended to look pensive and intelligent. In reality he did not have a clue about cooking of any sort. Fresh lettuce leaves and the occasional carrot did him fine, thank-you-very-much. 'Aha!' exclaimed the adventurer, whom at this random, insignificant point in the story we shall name Scipio (OOC: _files/cool.gif) ). 'Here we are...', he said triumphantly, pointing at the title of a recipe. Moppet, whilst incredibly talented with numbers, had extreme difficulty with reading and writing (well actually, he couldn't be bothered). He struggled to read the title, but finally made out...-------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 | Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00 |
