Alinar grabs Kaylan under the shoulders and begins to drag him. “The Dreaming is a plane of existence. You exist there as much as you do here. When you sleep, you sometimes catch glimpses of the Dreaming through your connection there. Some are trained to navigate the Dreaming at will – even open a p...

Alinar opens his mouth to voice a warning to Cirrus, but when she touches the stone to no adverse effect, he simply nods his approval (as if that's what her look requested). "They certainly do not appear to be suffering - so long as the stones remain in their possession. Perhaps they should be ...

Alinar approaches and arches an eyebrow.

"'Friend' indeed. I see no injuries, but clearly a healer or six are clearly warranted. Anyone else familiar with that dwarf or have an idea what occurred here?"

Even novels will often skip significant time spans between chapters. No sense detailing (or RPing) extended periods of time where all is well – no drama, no fight-or-flight. I like the idea of adventurers packing away their weapons and armor – never expecting to lay hands on them again - and adjusti...

"The possibility certainly exists and its probability is alarmingly high. The Master's schemes must be disrupted, and if we do play a vital part then there can be little doubt that we are also in a superb position the thwart them utterly. The question, of course, is how. Understanding the natur...

"Hmm. Capturing Red Tear members rather than killing them is also not an option, as they have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to destroy themselves in such a situation. Upon such death their tainted power would undoubtedly still be syphoned. This is indeed a clever puzzle requiring signific...

Alinar archs an eyebrow. "Odd that you would seek your own destruction, as well. Why?"

"When one values something, one can be manipulated. Haven places an appropriately high value on a great many lives, the Dreamer says the world will be destroyed unless Haven does as instructed. Haven must either obey, find another way to remove the danger, or disprove the danger. It would be sa...

I certainly intend to be there!

Alinar arches an eyebrow when Aldinoch explains his concern over the artifact destruction, and listens intently on the following discussion. "The Master, then, is likely the only one who knows the true culmination of these rituals. Haven is disrupting and redirecting them to save the life of th...

“Clearly the task was never impossible, or why even try? Could you have underestimated the strength of Haven? Of course you did. Most do. *We* did. Are we being duped? Very probable. But what choice have we but to see this through to the inevitable conclusion? Time and need force us to march ahead b...

Game-On *was* pretty late, but it's been reasonable in the past, so this was the exception to the rule, as it should be. The rest of Friday night was pretty good with plots going on until late into the night. The initial puzzle plot was ingenious. Saturday, unfortunately, was ridiculously dull. If y...

"No, Aldinoch, you would not lie about this. 'Enemy of my enemy', after all. You need us to succeed. While we have this common cause we can extend a limited measure of common trust."

Alinar looks from Abaddon to Aldinoch (triple A!).

"Then that is yet another question - Do you suspect we are so pressed on time that relying upon this tunnel has become our only rational option?"

"My concern is the tunnel itself. How can we trust the enterance to be there when we arrive? That its exit remains where you expect it to be? That the tunnel will be there at all or will not vanish while we are inside? Has the Range stabilized with the convergence of Magic? Regardless, perhaps ...
