Heh heh. Sorry about the wordiness, Joel, it's just how I write. (Now you guys know why it took me over two years of revisions to finish my bloody dissertation.... )
Actually, if anybody needs an OOC update on Crow's shenanigans, I could fill them in ... or at least, as much of them as that little sneak's bothered to tell me!

Hey, guys, I just added a bit to the "Cast of Characters" stickie to clarify the bard's umpteen alternate identities. I hope that's helpful, and that I won't have to add any more in future, now that "Brother Crow" is working his way into the Frat's confidences.

Eh please do not change this! In RPG, wordiness is a quality. Your post (and all of you guys) are well made and fun to read.

I've put up the PM exchanges between MM, Llana and Rotipher and their interrogators. The italicized bits are mine (Llana's one long soliloquy is italicized and bolded to set it off, and Crow's shorter interjections shouldn't ben confusing).
You may notice that Mikkelson says and does almost the same things each time. This is not because the questioning is very tightly scripted; it is because your friendly DM is lazy and reused the base conversation three times.
Meh, I hardly consider it lazy! And it's a procedure- it SHOULD be rote.
Yay! I guessed the purpose!
Nathan, I had Gert asking around after Larner, but if you'd prefer us to move the afternoon along a little quicker, just have him be busy, and I'll do a summary of what she's up to. Whatever's easier for you and your plans.

VAN and I are leaving for vacation. We will log erratically and not often for the next 10 days.

As before, the "Evening of April 9th" thread may well be low-key; you can finish any afternoon business, and then proceed to the evening. We'll allow about a week for that, and then go to the real meeting.
Y'know, I think Master Midwinter should be thanking his lucky stars that Gertrude's sorcerous abilities don't extend to lightning bolt. (Nothing says "Get away from me!" quite like 1000 amps.)
Heh. Something tells me Midwinter wouldn't be harassing her so hard if Gertrude didn't have her mosquito-veil on. Spring it on him that she's probably closer to his mother's age than his, Llana: then we can watch the sexist jerk run for the hills!

Apologies: But the threads are getting a bit long for someone that cannot keep up with them (vacations etc) so can someone bring me to date in what happened in the Fraternity manor in April as I jump in the evening?
