    I know I should post Jonathan's reply to Ceres. but the weekend has come and with it a company outing to a ski resort in the Scandinavian mountains. I am afraid I will be drinking red wine and stuff this weekend, and not writing anything for the roleplay... I am dreadfully sorry! Back on monday though!

    And I know I should be posting some sort of filler while we wait for a reply for Jonathan, but I have been busy at work: Early starts, late finishes, so creatively drained! Still, I should have something worthy done before AG gets back on monday! :D

    Oh - and re:Muro's colorful post: That was the first time i've laughed out loud at something i've read on the internet in over a year. Not to sound morbid or anything, but that is some grade-A material right there!  :up:

    Yes, bravo on the, er, exotic role-playing, Muro.  Very well done. :up:

    Just finished reading the RP. Still no net at home, but I think I can manage to either sneak into bro's office or a friend's place to post, so you can count me in for chapter two.

    What about sharing our impressions?

    What about me starting? :D
    *I sure liked the way Kiph is portrayed. Bad he may be. Evil was rarely so.. uhm... actually cute... before.
    *I enjoyed AG's storytelling - very lively, he posted frequently and to geat length. Two thumbs up.
    *Certainly, I was surprised at the tone of the game though - I expected a post-apocalyptic setting and not one where the apocalypse was in progress, and so close.
    *One thing I found to be poo: I doubt Ceres would have forgotten the nuclear thingie down there. With a SAN of 65, I'd expect her to stick to her goals, and as she was hauling the stupid thing around for all of Chapter 1, actively so, with me mentioning it in almost evey post, I doubt she'd leave it there becaushe she got bitten by one stupid critter.
    *One thing I found surprising: the PCs are even more frail than in GURPS, which prides itself on being realistic. Will have to watch my step.

    As for the poo:
    - When I roleplay a PC I attribute to them a dice roll. In this instance I ruled that Ceres and Jonathan were stressed, like you well know, and that Ceres was distracted by her wound.
    - Both rolls failed.
    - The rest of the group did not react to me not mentioning it in the other posts. It would have been somewhat difficult to get through the hatch, and would have warranted a description of its own
    - The group had time to go fetch it afterwards, though that would possibly have meant more combat.

    And we have the secret forum. We use that nowadays ;)

    I have a confession to make. I only now saw AG's post from Jan. 30th...intrigue and nipple pinching inside Loett's tent.

    Dont end it yet!! I will post tonight!!!!!

    Sorry. I got out of the spin. Waited for Shadoweagle and now drowning with work.
    Since AuR is alive and kicking, and I have a starring role as mr. Bad Guy I will post the epilogue this weekend.

    Those who haven't posted  by then won't get any more chances. This baby is going DOWN!

    Unanswered questions and unfinished business will not remain unanswered, but will be solved in the hidden OOC and rules forum.

    It was nice playing with y'all, even though you bastard slackers could have ended it with more style and speed! :p ;)

    Ahem! I would like to apologise for my lack of activity! I have been on holidays for the last week so haven't been able to get to a computer.
    I'm going away again for the next two days, soon, but once i'm back from there, i'll be back in full force! I promise!

    No worries. The guys are just waiting for me to wrap it up! ;)

    Episode 2 though... It will be played in a while. Dunno how far in the future, but my subconscious is boiling and steaming, teeming with ideas!

    Of course, it all comes down to what your charries wanna do and where you want to go.

    And: Sorry from me too! Had guests all weekend and did not manage to post as promised!

    Okay!

    The episode is done. It ended grimly, reflecting your flight and the loss of friends and equipment.

    But despair not! Brave heroes rise one more time than they fall, and at the end of the day you have new equipment!

    I am sure the next episode will improve your fortunes!

    As for REWARDS:
    - Skill increase will be handed out within a short period of time! (I need to read through stuff and determine how much you can increase + roll the dice to determine your increases!)
    - Everyone has healed naturally when the game starts the next time, excepting Abak Loett! (He is still alive, but severely hurt)
    - New equipment descriptions, damage done and the like will be detailed before the start of episode 2!
    - New players will be recruited! We need 1 more to play the game!
    - MOST IMPORTANT: Your future course of action will be discussed in the OOC. Just post your thoughts here, or in the other forum, and we will determine what you do and where you go! With a new day comes new hope, so do not despair!

    I certainly would prefer an adventuring and not running-to-save-my-naked-butt style of play. Other than that? I'd like to study physics.

    You guys decided to run. Not me. ;)

    As for physics: Okay! Abak Loett is sure to have some books!
