EO Said...
I think Mouse mentionned he got paid upfront to write it.

Oops... He did I think mention that earlier... Well, perhaps they should pay him again...

What languages are native to the domain and what are their realworld equivilents because I keep imagining latin is used but I also gather that French is the main as it is the two darklord candidates first language may be in the mix... Also imagining Greek as well but that may just be from previous reference as Lambrecht was accused of speaking it.

Most of it would be French, or at least a dialect close enough to French for Diederic to understand it. Much in the same way that the religious inscriptions aren't exactly Latin, but close enough for him to make out parts of them.

Or at least that's how it seems to Diederic. No telling what's "real" in Ravenloft, is there?

After all, Violca's certainly not speaking French, and yet they understand each other...

Hey, if you can talk them into it, I certainly won't argue.

Thanks on the languages...

As for the extra pay... Well I think I may have better luck starting my own multi national company and doing it that way... May take a little while though!

Anyways thanks again and keep on releasing those chapters... I can't wait to see how it ends!

Well... That is if you want it to end

Not neccessarily in an apocalyptic sense or such... But I feel greatful that he will allow the story to end.
Mostly because I need to have some time to eat and work and preform all the functions of life not possible when wrapped up into such a good story...
Plus I would wonder how Mouseferatu could keep going on, and on forever without most likely having to jump the shark eventually...

Scene: Diederic jumping Lambrecht on his motorcycle and starting a jutebox with his fist, to save the domain...
(Note to self: Save for sweeps week!)

I'll take the torch (With apologies to Ari) to say that chapter 8 is up at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20090313

And, yes, A G, you're right... But you have to understand me... It's the first Ravenloft novel I've read in years (And I guess it's the last I'll read in more to come).

Not to take anything away from Black Crusade, but you do know about Heaven's Bones and Mithras Court, right?

Much appreciated.

(I was away for a few days for my anniversary, so I wasn't available to provide the link last night.)

Nice. How many chapters are left?

And I hope Malosia doesn't get destroyed in the end, it'd make for an interesting domain and seems fleshed out.

Ari, I have to say this is excelent so far!

As an aside, for my own purposes in future Im thinking of compiling this all into a single pdf I can print (I hate reading long tracts of text on screen), but I was wondering if its acceptable to get the compiled document of the whole book hosted on the FoS for posterity?

Thought I had better ask if:
a) thats ok with you ?
b) If doing so is going to contravene copyright in anyway and cause "issues"?
c) its something others would want to have via the FoS?

Unless it changed in editing for some reason, there should be eight more, for 19 (plus the prologue) in total.
