The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

[NeoTiamat]

Whistler, looks like you're bowing out on a high note. Two-fifty XP for what seems to me a masterful summation of the situation.

[The Whistler]

Thanks! It comes of reading too many mystery novels.

[NeoTiamat]

Heh... Excellent, that will serve you well over the course of the game.

[Nathan of the FoS]

The current rate of posting is pretty good for me. Of course, I post a lot. Charles seems to be quite a chatterbox, which is not quite how I'd originally envisioned him--but sometimes one's character insists on developing itself in strange directions.

[DocBeard]

Yeah-honestly, I like the pace too. I just get worried about this sort of thing from time to time.

And I know how you feel, Nathan. I wasn't expecting to get the Carrot vibe I do from Tomas.

[NeoTiamat]

It works the same for NPCs also. I did *not* expect Benoit to be anything more than a bit character, but he seems to have developed quite nicely. Devereux is coming out well also, I'm proud of him.

I'm working on some organizational stuff right now (there's so many plots going on I need to write it down or else I get confused), so I'll post in a bit, and move the action to the inn later tonight.

Plus, the unoffical 9th PC, Loup.

Whoooosea puppy whosea puppy he isums oh yes he isums!

[Rock of the Fraternity]

I'm glad you like the dog. That means you can keep it away from me. ^^ P.S., am I way off-base if I speculate Loup was trained in Falkovnia to hunt down non-human humanoids, such as elves and dwarves? The Falkovnian equivalent to the 'white dog' of the slavery era?

[NeoTiamat]

"He likes you." Benoit chuckles. "Good sign, Loup's a better judge of character than most. He used to belong to a Falkovnian officer who used him to chase down fugitives. Decided to stick his nose over the border and my squad caught him. Kept Loup with me, he's a good tracker."

Loup meanwhile was reacting oddly. He snapped at Ulsaon's hand, wickedly sharp teeth slamming shut a few inches from the outstretched fingers, his hackles rising in the process. It occurred to those present that Loup was a very large dog, and was about the size of Ulsaon.

"Loup! Platz! Platz!" Benoit snapped the command in some a foreign language. Reluctantly, the Alsatian lowered itself to the ground, the ruff of fur around the shoulders raised and growling and snarling all the while. The wolfhound didn't take his eyes off Ulsaon.

Benoit picked up his cards again, pausing frequently to stroke Loup and reassure the Alsatian, who was still gazing balefully at Ulsaon, though he'd stopped snarling. "Sorry about Loup. He's too well-trained I guess. His old master used to use him to hunt renegade slaves in Falkovnia, and seeing a half-elf or any kind of demihuman kicks up the hunting instincts in him."

Off-hand, I'd say you have hit the nail quite squarely on the head, my good Rock.

Ah, see, I never read that last bit you quoted, or I would've kept my mouth shut and not made myself look silly. ^^; Well, having such a well-trained dog in a party that contains non-humans is going to make for some interesting roleplaying moments ... or for dog stew.

I wouldn't wager on that given the fact that Loup is the same size as Ulsaon he he,,,,,,,,,, We could end up with half elf dog meat

Well, if that happens, ole Loup is going to meet with an 'unfortunate accident', so don't worry about having to come back from the afterlife for revenge, eh?

[steveflam]

Actually Ulsaon hasn't given up on Loup yet!

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Why? Has she found dog roofies?

[steveflam]

No, she just loves dogs! But Loup isnt her biggest fan ;(
