Administrative Note:
So that was an adventure! Sorry about the weirdness on day 3. A short summary if you are interested. The site uses some unique set-ups that are provided by Disqus that are not normally supported. Basically Word-Press, the thing we use for threads, pushed an update that made are unique set-up incompatible, and basically led to brief catastrophic failure. Mod Kappa and Poster ellipsiparenthebang managed to temp fix the problem so here we are. Stuff should work though I will keep an eye on it.
In case you missed it because of the confusion and my own inability to post: Warrior died at the end of the day yesterday and was The Mordicant (Wolf Tracker)
Also I will be having Hoho step in for Genny because I haven’t been able to contact her. Genny if you do see this let me know and we can work something out.
Also check the role list. With the wolves down to two players their rules have changed slightly
Lastly twilight has now been moved a couple hours later in the day since I think everyone still alive is in the US. If this is not the case let me know and I can readjust it.
Story Time!
The cistern was dilapidated, its stonework uneven and grimy to a shocking degree. But in the center Sabriel spotted a brief pulsing glow. A diamond of protection, the sign of a Charter mage the sign of her father. She began to wade towards the center when she heard a horrific laugh. “We meet again Abhorsen! A different form for me and a different form for you. Still delectable though”. The blazing eyes and gaping maw looked on with malice and from behind Kerrigor emerged numerous dead creatures. An unending wave, too many for any one person to fight.
“Your father is lost and soon you will be as well. Break my collar binding and run, or use Astarael and doom us both: your choice” came Mogget’s voice. With trepidation Sabriel focused her magic on the bindings of the collar then pushed, fleeing as Mogget began to flow into her true form. Her last glimpse was a brilliant burst of light hungrily turning towards the advancing horde.
Jake has died. She was Mogget the Vengeful Guide: Old Kingdom Watcher and Record Keeper
