Nope. The Brotherhood's Cabin was across the bridge at Ozanam, second one on the left. I slept there religiously year-round, every single month, regardless of weather, unless there was a specific roleplaying reason for Talana to not be in that building on a singular occasion. And my point is that I'...

Well, Doug... since I played Shifted Lands for 4 years and played every single winter, sleeping in an unheated and uninsulated cabin, I can officially say it sucks. Yeah, there's a whole bunch of cuddled up next to each other and just sharing as much warmth as possible, but when it comes down to it,...

Woot! Happy Birthday, Tim!

You might leave that one alone, Erik, but I won't...

For those of you who don't already know, I do some photography and painting on the side. Recently, two of my photographs were jury selected to be included in an international art show, called The Dirty Show , the title is a bit tongue-in-cheek because it features erotica and artistic nudes. The art ...

"Perhaps I wasn't clear, I apologize..." *Talana looks around at the assembled mass of townspeople who might be present for this discussion and queries:* "Who among you is a Master of the Empathic skills or Master of the Arcane Arts or even an Artificer? To the best of my knowledge th...

"There is no one else that I have seen today that might even be capable of learning, Good Sir Farak. So, unfortunately, I do not know that I could do that..."

((Talana wouldn't approach anyone with this until AFTER talking to Woden and Ian and us deciding to try to open the gate, then we'd give an invitation to others with explanation on the dangers and risks, as well as the uncertain destination. Shall we fast forward to that part in the interest of time...

"Yes, Farak, I think we are... I'm uncertain if anyone else may want to accompany us for this trip, but at a bare minimum, we need to go talk to Woden and Ian, who are also Gatekeepers, to discuss what to do from here. Based on something I recently discovered, I believe we may have a way to get...

*Talana smiles and accepts the offering gratefully, nibbling a bit and then peering into the main portion of the Inn to call to Farak, inviting him to join them.*

*Talana nods to Sarah*

"Let's go get Farak and Lady Rosamund, then go down to the gate to find Ian and Woden. It will be important to talk to them first about using the gate and then we will gather a party for you..."

*After inspecting the ring for a few minutes, rolling around in her hand and peering on the inside of the ring, Talana raises a brow and nods, saying simultaneously:* "Just as I thought... this ring has a clue as to where we might find your brother, or at least those that took him. If I just le...

*Talana nods and smiles reassuringly to Sarah.* "Yes, I can tell that it is important... and it may be important to getting you back to your brother, to Winter Haven, or to somewhere else. Please allow me to take a look at it and do a bit of research with it, so that we might be able to unlock ...

*Talana can be found in the actual kitchen portion of the Inn, washing some dishes and occasionally pausing to look out the window, deep in thought. As Sarah enters the kitchen area, Talana looks back to her and smiles.* "Good morning, Sarah, how did you sleep? Well, I hope?" *Once Sarah r...
