POSTING A NEW THREAD SINCE MANY PLAYERS HAVE CHANGED

This thread is for in-game comments that would be made in the main thread except that they might slow the flow down or make it difficult for some people to follow.  For example, the types of things that should be here are:

1) Questioning the all-powerful DM and risking the judgment of the gods to fall upon your character's heads:

In other words, if you think I goofed up, let me know.  I may not change the post, but I'll have it in mind to avoid the same mistake again.  Example:

In game post (DM):  "You get hit with dragon fear."
 Post here (Player):  "You forgot my amulet."
 DM: Oh, I'll fix it.  (edits game thread)

2) Clarifying any in game details:
 Example 1:
 Player:  Is he ahead or behind me?  What square is he in?  Can I reach the potion on the shelf from here?

Example 2:
 DM:  Player, you forgot to tell me your ending position.  Let me know, or I'll have to take my best guess.

3) Other things that are relevant to the current situation in the game but just probably don't belong there.  Example:

Borimer, are you wearing your +5 Hula Skirt of hip movement?

4)  Celebrations or comments.  Example:

Woohoo, I just hit AC-10 with my heavy metal guitar of fretting.  Take that, Asmodeus!

WHAT NOT TO POST HERE:

Don't post here any IC dialogue that belongs in the flow of the game.

Don't post here your main move in the game (such as where the character is going and what he is doing).

Truly OOC Comments are best in the Community Chat thread.  Things like if you will be absent from the game awhile or other things related to you as a person and not your PC or game issues.

New Adventure:

This new adventure will differ greatly from some prior adventures--closest to the Murder in Oakbridge, which is probably before any of you joined. It will have a mystery element, with clues and so forth. Don't worry--there will also be some fighting and other strangeness even though it takes place in the castle.

I suggest a quick refresher on the following:

http://wiki.rpol.net/?id=11516...%20Allevian%20Annals

http://wiki.rpol.net/?id=11516...20Magical%20Features

There will be both mandatory and optional goals, with different results depending on how they work out, not just a win/lose scenario.

Quick update, everyone.

We have two new players who are finishing up their character sheets.

Who is still active?  Tahldar, Kahan, Shae and Renakaris?  Anyone else?

Still here!

Although my BIOS telling me "HDD failure could be imminent" has had me busy backing up data, running (disappointingly unhelpful) diagnostic programmes etc had kept me rather busy

How "fair" would one say Princess Esther is?  What was our general impression?

She is quite impressive. You can assume she looks like the portrait picture on the left side of my posts.

We'll say this is the portrait of Princess Esther:

Someone other than Tahldar should be driving the action with the prince.  His charisma is awful.

Yeah, mine is terrible as well

Does Kahan still have the Berillian Brooch?

Also, Tahldar has a really high int and is immune to 1st and 2cd level illusions.  As a reminder as this may come into play.
