@Nippy: We're stuck in a time loop. Don't mind us. You guys should just go on ahead with the main story. We wouldn't want to hold it up on our account.
You guys should just go on ahead with the main story. We wouldn't want to hold it up on our account.Lost Souls: A bereft lover. A masterless familiar. Friends gone their separate ways. Time marches on, and destiny heralds the meeting of comrades old and new. Can they find what they're seeking? Or will the search bring them only more pain?
@Aegis: Err...I'm kind of stuck with nothing to do. I'm not really sure where you want to go with all this, so I've been waiting for your next post. And waiting. And waiting. Should I just throw something out and hope it works into your plan?

"give me a good reason why I should trust you and let you enter." Durn replied "Because we have a common enemy, orcs.
@Durwyn: What does letting Durn in (and the others for that matter) have to do with orcs? <scratches head bewilderedly>

@Aegis: I know the feeling. My three most important exams of the year are this week and next. As of late I get home, check the board, do homework, and go to bed. Literally. It sucks.

@Durwyn: Durn may be an enemy of orcs, but that doesn't necessarily make him trustworthy. Remember, he's talking to a complete stranger, and a dwarf at that, as Aegis pointed out. I wouldn't think they'd be so quick to let anyone in, let alone a half-orc.
But what I was trying to point out is this. The dwarf asks why he should let him (or them) enter. Durn responds by saying he's an enemy of orcs. So you're saying they should let a bunch of suspicious non-dwarves in just because one of them claims to be an enemy of orcs? An important question goes unanswered: What does the group want with Clan Battlehammer? And why? It seems to me that the answer has far more to do with the “creature” than orcs.
@Arcane: I don’t know much about verbeeg myself, but I’ll try to answer your question. Verbeeg are a race of giant-kin, larger than humans but smaller than giants. Their height ranges from 9 ft. to 12 ft. The other giant-kin include ogres and firbolgs, as well as another highly-deformed race that I can’t remember the name of right now. The verbeeg’s distinguishing characteristic is their huge flat feet. They’re also rather hairy, I think. They’re smarter than ogres, but are still a bit slower than the average human. Usually good-natured, they have a tendency towards larceny. Their typical alignment is Chaotic Neutral, I believe. Hopefully that helps. It’s all something I picked up from a single book about giant-kin a while ago, so I don’t know how accurate it is.
As for your other question, Gilthanas better not be dead! I don’t know about Aegis, but I’m not through with my character. Your assumption’s probably safe for now. We’ll find out the particulars soon enough, I expect.

@Rob-hin: The last couple of sentences are the only part in question...it doesn't need to be completely rewritten, if it even needs to be changed at all. What do you think, Aegis?
