Happy [insert holiday here] of you choice everybody

I'm back in Bath on the 2nd of january.
I can't wait, its boring as hell around here and with Tony's (the local comic store) shut I'm beginning to feel RP starved.
All in all Christmas cheer is rather lacking at the moment. Oh well, at least there's cake.

Mmmmm, cake

The rest of the comic is quite good to

Enjoy!

Does anyone know where Tony is planning to meet for this drinks this evening.

The Crystal Palace or The Raven?

If its The Crystal Palace then where is that (yes, after 3 years in Bath I should know the city better)

Take the Dante's Inferno Test

Karl wrapped himself in his cloak, leant back against a tree and glanced across the fire at his strange new companion.

There was Harlequin, sleeping peacefully with Mister Bunny in her arms - and her head pillowed on Starke’s leg.

Karl got to his feet, tiptoed across the ground and moved Starke’s body, replacing it with his folded cloak as a slightly more respectful pillow. Then he turned and crept back to the tree for a slightly colder night than he had anticipated.

I like Karl.
He's fun to play and the kit is lightweight and easy to carry to the uni and back.

Karl likes everyone regardless of race or alignment and will do his best to help them as long as they don't engage in banditry which he hates above all other crimes.
He looks for a non-violent path will try to mediate in any dispute. In short, he is a happy character may irritate some characters sometimes but is friendly and likable and always useful to have around.

Karl also now has a new pet project in Xanthipes new character. Harlequin was introduced to him as a traveler going on a journey of discovery and in need of guidance. Traveler, and guidance are words you should never ever use around Karl as he'll immediately assume personal responsibility for you and dedicate himself to to helping any way he can.
Karl has been asked by the temple to look out for Harlequin and provide regular reports. So that's what he's going to do.

I had great fun yesterday running around after Harlequin trying to keep her out of trouble and learn about her.
This is going to be a very interesting IC relationship (Part friend, part babysitter, part research scientist and part psycho-therapist) but I think its going to be a lot of fun and I hope xanthipe enjoys it too.

The campaign is shaping up well and once again I'm glad I'm playing Karl this year because
He's curious about everything in the new land and will definitely become a valued member of this years 'Team: Poke it with sticks'.

We're having helbling, magicaddict, indigogecko and a few others around this evening to watch/mock the streetfighter film that pujaemuss recorded a few weeks and before arrive I have to get Karls harlequin report ready to hand over to helbling in hard copy as she doesn't have an internet connection yet.

This weekend was the first since the 36hr that I've done much of anything.

Saturday morning me, Andy and cheekychipmunk went along to Fourmyles place courtesy of a lift from indigogecko and sorted out assorted larp costume.
Then we headed up to the uni to look in on the character gen. session and meet some of the newbies but we found we were surplus to requirements so we scooped up magicaddict and headed for the bar.
A drink and an electronic pub quiz game later we aquire helbling and head back to her and magicaddicts new place (which is very nice if rather cramped for 5 people) and then on to warhammer shedding Andy en-route.

Here endeth the brief description, Warhammer under a cut for those of you who don't care.


( Warhammer )


And so on to sunday. I was planning to monster the first game or two of the new campaign but yesterdays party consisted of loads of pathfinders and no healers. Fortunately I had Karls costume with me (I love it, its so light after all the chainmail) so a balance priest was added at the last minute.
Karl turned out to be a lot of fun to play but rather hard work trying to keep up the rapid chatter about anything and everything,
The main problem he has is a compulsion to help anyone who says they're lost. This is a BAD thing when the lost person is a ghost who wants to suck out your life force.
I'm not sure what his survival chances are. On the up side he likes everybody and I'm trying to by all the utility miracles like remove fear and freedom before I get the destructive ones so he'll always be useful to the party.
On the down side, I think the excessive happiness will really annoy some of the more order aligned characters and a compulsion to run forwards and introduce himself to everyone the party meets could get him killed in short order, either by the monsters or by his own party (In his first game he's already been knocked out by his own patrol leader and drain life 4ed almost to death.
We'll see how things go...

More warhammer tonight to make up for missing a session this coming saturday, then back to work tomorrow.
Bye all
