Scaly Haylie: Dec 25, 2004

Remember, this boils down to "have a thing for our golem" or "don't". We might need this malfunction one day!

I heard there is a patch for that bug. We need to update to iGor 1.1

If we were better at Transmutation we could sink them into the ground up to their necks and then slit their throats.

I can't do that, because I also voted for necromancy. Can we just blame it on the elves instead?

Sorry, I did the alternate path... and forgot to copy it down. It basically said we had to look up the cause of the glitch, giving us a boost to Arcana.

Soon people learned to rush forward and open the door for iGor. It was great for party morale; since the golem usually led us, doors were opened for us wherever we went.
(Fame +1)

It was in my first year of adventuring that rumors about King Gareth's rule began to surface. I had a front-row seat for the event because we came across a job from his royal highness. A bounty was posted for an escaped elf prisoner. The 250 gold reward drew bounty hunters and adventurers from across the land, all of us hoping to capture the prisoner first.

After a few days of searching Tornassa with no success, we tried a new tactic.

I used my Divination magic. (Needs 15 Divination)
We spent a lot of money on bribes. (Needs 75 Gold)
I used my contacts in the Thieves Guild to find him. (Needs 10 Thieves Guild Faction)
We found his cellmate and tortured him.
We were unable to find him.

Because we're an adventuring party, obviously. Randomly torturing people for information is a (rather disturbing) tradition.

Readingaccount: Jan 6, 2013; Law of the jungle

Let's see how many evil points we can rack up... then again it's just an alignment score rather than a skill I suppose, and the magic skills are probably more important than whatever we'd get if any at all.

He's an

elf

and elves must suffer.

Thing is, I'm not sure his cellmate is an elf too, so we might be torturing someone who's not guilty of anything. Divination it is.

quote:

My spell shimmered in the air, showing the elf very clearly. He had gotten across most of Daria and was waiting for a ship along the eastern coast. It was no wonder that nobody found him in Tornassa since the Silver Sea was on the other side of Daria. We left immediately.
(Divination +10, Geography +5)

My horse wasn't ideal since he wasn't trained for combat, and I knew I could get Horse trained for 350 gold.

~~l had Horse trained.~~
I didn't have Horse trained.

quote:

I was happy with the way Horse was and saw no need for extra training at that time. It was a long way to the Silver Sea, especially since only I had a mount.

It was about time we were mounted, so I bought horses for my three companions. (Needs 210 Gold)
It was about time we were mounted, so I stole horses for my three companions. (Needs 35 Thievery)
I summoned horses using my magic. (Needs 35 Summoning)
We had no choice but to walk the entire way.

quote:

It was a very long walk. It took us over a month to finally get to the Silver Sea. It also cost us a lot of money in food, travel gear and renting rooms at inns.
(Gold -60)

The smell of salt hung in the air as we arrived at the shores of the Silver Sea. I saw large ships and the blue ocean for the first time in my life. We got to work, looking for the elf once again. When we asked around, we were given very specific directions to a street down by the docks. It seemed like luck was with us.

We went to the seaside and searched where we were told. The alley was dark and smelled of fish. I'll never forget seeing that enormous fist flying right towards my face!

I took the punch, not letting it slow me down. (Needs 30 Body)
I blocked the punch. (Needs 25 Fighting)
I fought through the dizziness. (Needs 30 Willpower)
I conjured a very quick shield. (Needs 25 Conjuration)
I awoke a few minutes later.
