As Arus said, it's been an honour and a pleasure, my friends. grin Not just in STK but playing Chandan in LMP too.

Thanks, Neptune, for all your hard work and crafting a world in which to play. And again for helping me bring both my characters to life, for which I must also thank you other players too. kiss

Agreed. Sad to see you stop playing with us.

Thanks for the campaign so far and sorry to see you go, nem!

Speaking only for myself, the original hint indicated we needed all 10 of us to complete this side quest due to the danger, which put us on edge. However, before we even got to the town we got somewhat "ambushed" and limped into town injured. So I was expecting yet another ambush and just trying to survive being in the town long enough to complete the necessary side quest/delivery.

As it's well known that I have been co-DM'ing I apologize if anything my character has said has swayed anyone in any particular direction. I'm as clueless as the rest of you, and less experienced with Nep's evil plans to boot.

OOC matches my IC statement. I'll support whatever everyone wants to do. But perhaps I should be less paranoid of an ambush around every corner...

As I recall we tried to talk to several folks in the Inn and were basically rebuffed at every turn.

I think Davroar and Bern are forking off at Noanar's Hold too, iirc.

Here's the plan of our trip I wrote back in 2022! grin

First, thank you Neil for playing in LMP and SKT. You're a terrific player and I loved DMing for you. I echo Gypsy's words I would never turn down a chance to play with you. Chandan and Arus were terrific characters and I wish you the very best.

That old 2022 post is an excellent outline for the characters that are not headed into the woods.

The fork into the High Forest is Zindra, Bern, Jaliera, Davroar and Pavel.
The rest are taking the path outlined by Nem.

Hmmm. Not at every turn. Jaliera seemed to learn something. I don't recall having to ask anyone for a persuasion, deception, intimidation or investigation roll. Hmmm.

I recall Jaliera talking to someone but I do not recall ever learning what it was about. Yes, no rolls were asked for but it seemed like every question was met by stony silence or the person we were talking to simply turned around and left, so little opportunity to engage.
