Subj: Wehnimer's Landing/Humans OOC Meeting – Sun, 6/25, 10pm Eastern
I know I’m kind of on a break right now, but I will still be doing a Wehnimer’s Landing / Humans OOC Meeting this Sunday, 6/25, at (now 10pm eastern). (I know I know, super early for Kenstrom o’ Clock, but this is real.)

I’ll setup a magical portal east of Moot Hall a few minutes before the event. Come with any questions or comments about Wehnimer’s Landing and Humans in general. I’ll go over a few of my plans, but mostly Q&A session. See you then!

Someone please take good notes and post. The Order of Silver Gryphons have an event tomorrow at the same time, at Iron Jack’s blacksmith shop for those who want to know more about forging.

I hate overlapping with player-run events, I never want to take away from them. I’ll move the OOC meeting to 10pm Eastern. So go forth and forge! 🙂

We shall forge the destiny of the Landing afterward!

In all seriousness, looking forward to it.

If anyone is able to post a log or highlights that would be great! I have plans tomorrow night, so I won’t be in the game tomorrow. 🙁

A log! If I missed anything somehow… blame the fact that it was like 4000 lines that I cut down to 550. 😉

[The Strategy Stage – ]
Cold and colorless, the room resembles a stone bunker which is devoid of any real decor, with the exception of a large corkboard in one corner. On the board is a map of Wehnimer’s Landing, a hit list, a family photo, and two tickets. You also see the Gwenif disk, the Ravicta disk, a jumbo question list, the Zolis disk, the Gnaeusprimus disk, the Leafiara disk, the Xorus disk, the Brutish disk, a massive statue, an onyx archway and a circular wooden table with some creamy nutmeg-sprinkled eggnog on it.

Ravicta deeply asks, “So, anyone know what this meeting is about?”
YOUR DOOM!
Kenstrom suddenly fades into sight beside you.
Kenstrom exclaims, “Hello!”
Kenstrom indicates a deep blue Kestrel bedroll as a possible option.
Kenstrom says, “So many secrets in here….”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Alright!”
Kenstrom says, “So I will be quick. Then I will open up for some Q and A.”
Kenstrom says, “Here’s things I might know about. Landing, storylines, humans and their silly empire.”

Kenstrom asks, “First, how have you been enjoying Keeping up with the Kestrels so far?”
Brutish quietly exclaims, “Kill them all!”
Zolis deeply says, “I’ll say.”
Thrassus says, “I’m liking it so far.”
Bekke says, “What is .. Wizardwaste.”
You bemusedly say, “Somehow didn’t think we’d be the ones answering the Q&A.”
Ravicta deeply says, “I’m pretty new to town, so I have no idea.”
Xorus says, “I haven’t been keeping up lately.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Hapenlok says, “I love it, love it a lot more if i could take random potshots at certain of your ….boys.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Raelee says, “I am incredibly stressed out.”
Brutish quietly says, “It’s in the forums.”
Kenstrom says, “I’m always curious. It’s my first time where it’s been…slow burning storyline, little to no invasions and end of the world…”
Kenstrom snickers.
Speaking to Raelee, Bekke says, “I have no idea what’s going on.”
Speaking to Bekke, Raelee says, “Everything is fine.”
Speaking to Bekke, Raelee says, “There is nothing to worry about.”
Speaking to Bekke, Raelee says, “We’re all good.”
Regwen says, “We like invasion though.”
Bekke says, “Wonderful.”
Speaking to Raelee, Divone says, “I don’t believe that.”
Hapenlok whispers aloud, “She’s lying.”
Brutish quietly says, “There’s definitely a lot of drama, but it’s awfully late at night.”
Kenstrom says, “There will be more opportunities to die in the future.”
Kenstrom says, “Trust me.”
You say, “I’ve really liked it. Gets the conspiracy theories going.”
You admit, “But yes, I’ve really really really missed the death and chaos.”
Gwenif says, “It’s a given.”
Logeerkamer mutters buy-deeds.
Kenstrom says, “Things should ignite more after the interlude.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Hapenlok asks, “Wait, the half dozen times I’ve died to date don’t count?”
Kenstrom nods at Hapenlok.
Kenstrom says, “Right.”
Kenstrom snickers.
Brutish quietly says, “I’d love to see the Grand Magister get stabbed in the back with a pickle fork, but if ye could jus bump up a wee bit earlier…”
Kenstrom says, “I do not know when the Kestrel storyline will end.”
Kenstrom says, “or if it will.”
Kenstrom says, “So, with the Kestrels, it’s open ended. I have ideas on like 12 different ways it could end, or, “wrap up”.”
Kenstrom says, “Who knows. Maybe everyone dies, maybe there’ some spin off tales…”
Kenstrom shrugs.
Kenstrom says, “I’m really trying to go along for the ride myself.”
Ravicta deeply says, “Rocks fall and everyone dies is so last century though.”

Kenstrom says, “That said, the other storyline I’m slowly plotting.”
Kenstrom says, “I presume planned for 2018, perhaps early 2018….”
Kenstrom says, “working title of Witchful Thinking.”
Brutish quietly asks, “Any of them involve a full on imperial siege of the Landing, including the requisition of the bath house and complete annihilation of River’s Rest?”
Kenstrom says, “One guess who the villain is.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Shinann says, “You are always the villain.”
Kenstrom begins chuckling at Shinann!
Kenstrom says, “Actually, more often than not it seems…”
Kenstrom says, “Half of you are the villains.”
Kenstrom snickers.
Kenstrom says, “So Witchful Thinking will see some good stuff.”
Kenstrom says, “Like I said, it’s all in my head right now.”
Kenstrom says, “But the idea is to visit more of…Raznel and Pylasar.”
Kenstrom says, “Their past and dare I say maybe future.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Maybe Thadston will return!”
Kenstrom says, “I know Bekke has hots for him.”
Xorus wryly says, “I did not know they were a thing.”
Bekke says, “I know an ally when I see one. Hots? I dunno about that.”
Hapenlok says, “Yeah. people literally had their eyes out for him.”

Kenstrom says, “Also..Aug 4 to Aug 12.”
Kenstrom says, “Frontier Days.”
Kenstrom says, “So you know, be there.”
Kenstrom says, “That’s all I’ve got.”
Kenstrom says, “Join the list if you have any questions.”
Kenstrom says, “The Goblyn Games will be amazing.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Join the question list if you have any questions to ask!”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Bekke says, “Not that I’m rushing your time off .. but how long are we taking a break? East coast and all.”
Kenstrom says, “Otherwise this is going to be the shortest meeting ever, hah.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Oh yes!”
Kenstrom says, “Probably just 2 and a half weeks.”
Raelee exclaims, “Everybody gets to catch up on sleep!”
Kenstrom says, “or less. I leave for a business trip on July 19th.”
Logeerkamer says, “Kenstrom with idle time leads to death…”
Mayor Cruxophim just arrived.
Kenstrom says, “So I will probably get back into things that weekend before.”
Kenstrom says, “or Monday before.”
Kenstrom asks, “so 17thish?”
Cruxophim wryly apologizes, “Sorry, had another thing I had to make an appearance at.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “How dare you cheat on me!”
Kenstrom snickers.
Kenstrom says, “Unless she was hot.”
Brutish quietly asks, “She?”
Kenstrom says, “Then, all is forgiven.”
Speaking amusedly to Kenstrom, Cruxophim says, “Well, it was Talinvor and the Black Chalice thingity, so…”
Kenstrom says, “Cruxophim. Mayor 3-1-17 to 6-25-17.”

Kenstrom exclaims, “Alright! To the questions!”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Ravicta!”
Ravicta deeply asks, “Where do half-elves fit in with the plans coming up? Just the usual wild-cards?”
Kenstrom says, “I’m glad you asked that! Since half-elves are half-human, I will only answer your question half way.”
Kenstrom says, “I have…..”
Kenstrom says, “There.”
Ravicta deeply says, “You’re an evil one, Mr. Kenstrom.”
Kenstrom says, “I had some things I did not yet get to explore with half-elves.”
Kenstrom says, “During Chaston’s golden reign.”
Kenstrom says, “I’m also very close with the half-elf guru.”
Kenstrom says, “I started a plot hook with Alendrial and…”
Kenstrom says, “Ayred.”
Kenstrom says, “I definitely have some more story to tell with the Scions of Shaundara.”
Cruxophim confusedly murmurs, “Who was Ayred again?”
Kenstrom says, “and Alendrial and Ayred, the Ivory Mage, play into that.”
Kenstrom says, “the albino mage with his jaw all wired shut.”
Kenstrom says, “and opened portals for Stephos and Alendrial.”
Kenstrom says, “See. Always little hooks within every storyline.”
Kenstrom says, “to the next one.”
Bekke says, “And then we all got a disease while they stole our blood. Such is the life of the hathlyn.”
Kenstrom says, “I can tell you there was at once a plan for a half-way house so to speak.”
Kenstrom says, “Near Landing.”
Kenstrom says, “For half-elf refugees.”
Kenstrom says, “to hide out and be smuggled away from Chaston.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “But definitely I’d love to do more. We’ll see!”

Kenstrom exclaims, “Hapenlok!”
Hapenlok says, “Well, guess my question pertains to Bleaklands, are we gonna see more rooms added in the future? or is that it? …”
Kenstrom says, “I cannot confirm nor deny your question.”
Hapenlok says, “Fair enough.”
Kenstrom says, “I have future plans for the Bleaklands and they may or may not be contained to this storyline.”
Kenstrom says, “Even in death, Talador cannot escape me.”

Kenstrom exclaims, “Divone!”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Divone asks, “Awhile back, you wrote an excellent essay of the organizations in the Empire. The Hall of Mages has been well represented in many story lines. I’m wondering if any of the other ones will be fleshed out or seen?”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Divone says, “It’s a broad and intricate look into the Empire.”
Kenstrom says, “Short answer, yes.”
Kenstrom says, “There’s like a gazillion plot hooks wrapped up into the Human orders doc.”
Cruxophim cheerfully enthuses, “Burn ’em all!”
Kenstrom says, “If you have not yet read it…”
Kenstrom says, “https://gswiki.play.net/Orders_of_the_Turamzzyrian_Empire.&#8221;
Kenstrom says, “I encourage you to.”
Kenstrom says, “Penned by yours truly…”
Kenstrom says, “it’s only like 100,000 words.”
Kenstrom shrugs.
Kenstrom says, “I’d like a book report on my desk by morning.”
Cruxophim amusedly admits, “I’ve read it, most of it, some multiple times.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Divone says, “It really is a work of art.”
Divone says, “And a great place to dig around for ideas on Human characters.”
Speaking to Cruxophim, Hapenlok says, “Yeah, every time i have to explain something to someone, i have it bookmarked on my tablet. and my phone.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Evia says, “For the longest time, we stared at that doc wondering if the Silver Kings crew was up to something here.”
Kenstrom says, “It’s also like I created dozens and dozens of groups that will one day need to band together to fight Grishom Stone.”
Kenstrom snickers.
Cruxophim says, “Whoever is continuing to update the Keeping Up wiki entry too, thank you. Any and all of you.”
Kenstrom nods at Cruxophim.
Kenstrom exclaims, “YES!”
Speaking amusedly to Kenstrom, Cruxophim suggests, “Group raid.”
Cryheart says, “I look forward to that day.”
Kenstrom says, “thank you for the Kestrel wiki updates.”
Kenstrom says, “It helos.”
Kenstrom says, “helos,”
Bekke says, “Yes, thank you ALL for that.”
Cleodelia says, “All the groups just turn around and become pains in the arses.”
Kenstrom says, “GRR.”
Kenstrom says, “HELPS.”
Kenstrom says, “Although…your behind for JUne.”
Kenstrom ducks his head.
Gwenif says, “Carpo.”
Kenstrom says, “The Silver Kings did have some involvement.”
Kenstrom asks, “Remember?”
Kenstrom says, “Rooks worked out a deal.”
Kenstrom says, “They murdered the families of Thad’s boys.”
Kenstrom says, “back in Hendor.”
Evia says, “Hard to keep it all straight, over time.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Bekke says, “Not all the Rooks. Just saying.”
Speaking slowly to Kenstrom, Cruxophim ventures, “Wait, whut?”
Cryheart asks, “Just the older ones?”
Speaking amusedly to Bekke, Cruxophim suggests, “#NotAllRooks?”
Kenstrom says, “like 2 years ago.”
Kenstrom says, “When Thad first came around.”
Evia says, “Silver Kings is other parts…that’s what made it so intriguing.”
Roblar deeply says, “I did like Thadston hanging bodies off the roof.”
Kenstrom says, “Long story short. Yes.”
Kenstrom says, “I have plans for some of those organizations.”
Kenstrom says, “How or when…”
Kenstrom shrugs.
Kenstrom says, “Or to what extent. We’ll see.”

Kenstrom exclaims, “Brutish!”
Brutish quietly asks, “Since I have returned, I’ve noticed a lot of RP that extends into areas that aren’t currently explorable by us. Is that a pure RP thing, or a pre-cursor to areas that might be opened eventually?”
Brutish quietly says, “Cause I hate talking about stuff I can’t see with my own two eyes.”
Kenstrom asks, “What do you mean, extending into?”
Kenstrom asks, “LIke, people referencing areas you can’t access in-game?”
Brutish quietly says, “Right.”
Kenstrom says, “That’ll always happen.”
Cleodelia asks, “You talk of places at war that aren’t actually in the game?”
Goldstr asks, “Talador an such aye brutish?”
Kenstrom says, “Sometimes it’s foreshadowing.”
Evia says, “Such as the ruined Talador and stuff….but sometimes we do get in…to some, eventually.”
Kenstrom says, “But really, it’s primarily just realizing this “game world” is beyond the accessible areas.”
Brutish quietly says, “I mean, a flying turkey dragon lichborne could be flying over New Ta’Faendryl and I couldn’t for certain tell em they’re full of it.”
Roblar deeply says, “Its bigger than it was.”
Cleodelia says, “The world is bigger than we are.”
Kenstrom says, “I personally enjoy taking you all into different locations.”
Kenstrom says, “for storylines.”
Roblar deeply says, “Showns us several cool areas.”
Kenstrom says, “I hope to continue that tradition.”
Brutish quietly says, “I get that, and that’s awesome.”
Cruxophim affably admits, “It’s fun when areas like the Demon Wall come in, even as temporary areas.”
Thelgor says, “I don’t think it’s safe to presume we have knowledge of everything in this world. I’ve no problem with any of that.”
Brutish quietly says, “I remember the Griffin Sword.”
Roblar deeply says, “Yes, my fave.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Maylan exclaims, “Yes please!”
Ysharra says, “That would be fun.”
Brutish quietly says, “There was a lot of different stuff we went to for that storyline.”
Brutish quietly says, “And we all died horrible deaths at.”
Raelee asks, “How about a portal back to The Swale again?”
Goldstr says, “I loved Idolone, wanted to live there.”
Kenstrom says, “Cross into Shadows was probably my biggest one.”
Speaking to Brutish, Maylan says, “There’s usually lore documents you could read for additional information.”
Kenstrom says, “With tons of new areas.”
Raelee quietly mutters, “So I can stay there forever.”
Roblar deeply says, “All part of the fave.”
Evia says, “Briskers Cove.”
Gwenif says, “Bring the Griffin Sword back!”
Brutish quietly says, “I’ve been catching up on a lot of the Lore items.”
Bekke says, “Allace! It’s beach season.”
Roblar deeply says, “Swale to the gorge was great.”
Speaking to Brutish, Maylan says, “Next time it comes up we’ll see what we can scrounge up for you so you have additional context.”
Kenstrom says, “I once contemplated trying to do Griffin Sword Saga 3.”
Balantine quietly says, “Nae forget Mestanir.”
Roblar deeply says, “And thae bars.”
Speaking hopefully to Kenstrom, Cruxophim requests, “Can I have a vacation home the Shadowlands or Shadow Realm or whatever you call it?”
Brutish quietly says, “But they seem all pompous and…. remarkably unrealistic.”
Kenstrom says, “I just…”
Kenstrom shrugs.
Kenstrom says, “Nah.”
Kenstrom says, “We may or may not see the shadow world again.”

Kenstrom exclaims, “Cinabar!”
Maylan says, “It’s also perfectly okay to roleplay cluelessness. I do it all the time.”
Kenstrom says, “distant cousin of cinnabun.”
Kenstrom smacks his lips.
Cinabar heartily says, “I would like a used clothing store.”
Cinabar heartily says, “Because I hate people dumping stuff on the bench.”
Speaking thoughtfully to Cinabar, Cruxophim ventures, “Like the pawnshop?”
Speaking thoughtfully to Cinabar, Cruxophim ventures, “But expanded?”
Cinabar heartily says, “And the pawnshop doesn’t resell clothes.”
Goldstr says, “Silverwood bin, get reused.”
Cruxophim says, “Oh hey, Silverwood bin is not a bad idea.”
Kenstrom asks, “So like a Wehnimer’s Goodwill?”
Shinann says, “Put them in the bin.”
Cinabar heartily says, “Exactly.”
Maylan says, “Wehnimer’s dumpster diving.”
Evia exclaims, “For the poor and the repurposers!”
Kenstrom says, “I’d much rather find a way to make the pawnshop buy clothes.”
Brutish quietly says, “But, I understand the broadening of scope, but will those types of areas be accessable for the storyline? And Please please please bump it up a little bit early, I hate it when the wife is stabby.”
Cinabar heartily says, “Could get the orphanage person to do it.”
Kenstrom says, “I don’t know if I’d ever push for a used clothing shop, heh.”
Kenstrom says, “One…I suck at clothes and dressing NPC”s.”
Kenstrom says, “Which is why someone else manages the boutique in town.”
Kenstrom nods at Brutish.
Kenstrom says, “To further answer you Brutish…”
Kenstrom says, “Lots of places will be accessible during storylines.”
Kenstrom says, “I intend to revisit some old places.”
Kenstrom says, “and venture into some new ones.”
Kenstrom says, “Again, no promises, because life is fluid, my mind is even more so…”
Kenstrom says, “But for Witchful Thinking…”
Kenstrom says, “Part of it’s focus is also on Pylasar.”
Kenstrom says, “the man who is rumored to walk the time stream…”
Kenstrom says, “Just imagine the places I could take you.”
Kenstrom says, “As we revisit the past, present, and future of Rachel and Peter.”
Kenstrom says, “aka Raznel and Pylasar.”
Kenstrom says, “The Elanthian Ross and Rachel.”
Kenstrom says, “I cancelled ideas to resurrect Walkar like 40 times now.”
Kenstrom says, “Must….not….be…like…DC…and Marvel.”
Kenstrom snickers.

Kenstrom exclaims, “Leafiara!”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Kiske says, “No resurrecting poor Walkar…that guy needs the rest.”
Kenstrom says, “walkar is gone. If I bring him back, make me quit.”
Roblar deeply asks, “Maybe we can see him during these time travels?”
You curiously ask, “So… blood magic. Is there any kind of document describing the lore of it or are we kind of just collectively making up its abilities together as GM and players?”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Kiske asks, “That’s the signal that you’ve finally imploded?”
Kenstrom says, “If I bring back Walkar, it means I’ve officially jumped the shark.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Oh YES!”
Kenstrom says, “Thank you for bringing that up.”
Kenstrom says, “I’ve two documents in the works. One is moving along more right now.”
Kenstrom says, “First one is Ithzir: Genesis.”
Kenstrom says, “A document on well, the Ithzir.”
Kenstrom says, “The second document, is blood magic.”
Kenstrom nods to you.
You amicably exclaim, “Good to know, then!”
Kenstrom says, “I want to do enough to give some….direction, but allow lots of mystery and expansion and interpetation.”
Kenstrom says, “I once assigned it to some wordsmiths, but it didn’t get finished up.”
Kenstrom says, “So I’ll try to tackle it myself after the Ithzir doc.”
Kenstrom says, “I work from home, and I’m a boss. So I can write write write on the clock.”
Kenstrom says, “Just don’t tell my boss.”
Cleodelia says, “She knows.”
Kenstrom says, “It’s true.”
Cleodelia says, “She always knows.”
Kenstrom says, “But yes.”
Kenstrom nods to you.
Kenstrom says, “I’d love to give some kind of…foundation.”
Kenstrom says, “But it requires way more than me. Magic gurus would have to approve, my sgm, etc.”
Kenstrom nods.
Kenstrom says, “So a work in progress.”
Ardwen asks, “Foundation? you wear makeup?”
You mysteriously say, “Ah, okay. Just wondering since the topic might or might not be on Leafi’s mind recently.”
Kenstrom says, “Hey, I didn’t even think of that word as make up, girly man.”
Kenstrom snickers at Ardwen.
Ardwen says, “A likely story.”
Kenstrom waggles his fingers. Ardwen is now a woman!

Cleodelia asks, “Could you just make another blapple tree please?”
Cleodelia says, “That is all.”
Kenstrom says, “Don’t worry.”
Kenstrom grins at Cleodelia.
Speaking loudly to Cleodelia, Cruxophim agrees, “YES.”
Kenstrom says, “Quick. Someone use one of those sketchbooks of Ardwen.”
Kenstrom says, “while he’s gender swapped.”

Kenstrom exclaims, “Maylan!”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Maylan says, “More of a request than a question…”
Kenstrom says, “I take both.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Maylan says, “Icemule has been pretty quiet lately. I don’t think that town has an active GM.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Maylan asks, “Might you consider giving Icemule a little storyline love?”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Don’t ever utter another town’s name in my presence!”
Kenstrom exclaims, “STRIKE HER DOWN!”
Thelgor says, “I remember when he gave Icemule some love…..”
Thelgor says, “It didn’t go well….”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Raelee suggests, “We could melt it. That’s a story.”
Cleodelia says, “Fire storm in Ice Mule…”
Speaking to Raelee, Maylan says, “Oooo.”
Roelaren says, “There is only one and that is landing.”
Kenstrom says, “I would like to say yes, but, time wise, dunno.”
Balantine quietly says, “Look what happened to Lich Landing.”
Kenstrom says, “There is a GM covering a town.”
Ardwen says, “We invaded there once.”
Ardwen exclaims, “Lets do it again!”
Kenstrom says, “I don’t know what that person’s schedule is, etc.”
Kenstrom says, “I’m kind of in my own world a lot of the time.”
Kenstrom says, “either I don’t play nice, or I’m ugly.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Goblyn plays with me!”
Emindala says, “Or both.”
Ardwen says, “Its only mule, noone will mind if we invade.”
Kenstrom says, “But I’ll share your concern.”
Evia says, “They are just jealous.”
Maylan says, “I’m still a landing citizen for life….for the record.”
Cleodelia says, “Goblyn does not play enough.”
Ardwen says, “Besides the fine was only 5 million, I can pay that, for everyone.”
Kenstrom says, “Soon it won’t matter.”
Kenstrom says, “When Icemule and the rest fall to the Great Empire of Wehnimer’s.”
Kenstrom marches back and forth, sharply turning at the end of each stride.
Kenstrom marches back and forth, sharply turning at the end of each stride.
Brutish quietly says, “You should totally burn it to the ground, so we can rebuild it in our own image.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Divone says, “You mean Human Empire.”

Kenstrom exclaims, “Cruxophim!”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Raelee says, “The Landing does not get to claim the term “Empire” unless “The Empire” takes it over.”
Kiske says, “Ugh..no..no Empire of Wehnimer’s….”
Kenstrom says, “Fine fine…”
Kenstrom asks, “The Great Collection of Wehnimer’s?”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Raelee says, “If you would like The Empire to take over the Landing, I’m totally down.”
Evia says, “Wehnimer World.”
Bekke says, “I’d have to protest.”
Cryheart says, “As the Wehnimer Turns.”
Maylan says, “The united cities of wehnimer’s.”
Brutish quietly exclaims, “The Dark Elves need equal trading rights!”
Speaking to Cruxophim, Goldstr says, “Use the Force Mayor! Use the Force.”
Speaking to Bekke, Raelee says, “Nonsense. You’re one of ours now.”
Speaking amusedly to Kenstrom, Cruxophim reports, “So, uhhh… in the course of running for and being elected Mayor, I’ve gotten a LOT of requests for additions to the Landing. Like, shrines and the like. I DO think that the Landing’s shrine collection should be diverse, especially with Lornon deities, but as far as I know we might be missing a few.”
Kenstrom says, “The Wehnimer Republic.”
Ardwen exclaims, “Crux!”
Ardwen exclaims, “Declare war on Mule!”
Maylan exclaims, “We didn’t land on Wehnimer’s Landing, Wehnimer’s Landing landed on us!”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Kiske says, “Ick..no…stahp…”
Speaking to Bekke, Raelee says, “Fellow Imperial stooge.”
Speaking to Cruxophim, Hapenlok says, “The longer you live here, diverse it gets.”
Divone says, “Right smart looking new Imperial.”
Speaking quietly to Kenstrom, Brutish says, “I prefer to call it The Rebellion AlLanding.”
Speaking to Bekke, Divone says, “One of us…one of us…”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Kiske says, “We stay small, frontier-ish and annoying.”
Speaking thoughtfully to Kenstrom, Cruxophim adds, “I’m just wondering how feasible small additions, kinda like the Ronan and Imaera shrines, would be?”
Evia says, “The FREE Republic of Wehnimers.”
Speaking to Raelee, Bekke says, “I don’t think anyone really believes that.”
Kenstrom says, “Always feasible.”
Speaking to Bekke, Raelee says, “Give it time.”
Kenstrom says, “The more details in proposals the better. I’d always be willing to consider it.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Cruxophim says, “Awesome! One of the things I love most about this place is how it evolves and changes over time.”
Kenstrom says, “Especially if it benefits a growing size of the community.”
Ardwen says, “The Great Shantytown of Wehnimer’s Landing.”
Cruxophim amusedly adds, “Stuff like the veiny streets, buildings changing, all cool little details that make it seem alive.”
Cruxophim fondly admits, “I love strolling through town and seeing the remnants of past storylines and things that have happened.”
Kenstrom says, “I just realized last week the Burrow Way has been here for like 5 years now.”

Kenstrom nods at Evia.
Kenstrom says, “OH.”

Kenstrom snickers.
Speaking to Cruxophim, Bekke says, “I’m still waiting for the Lab here in the Landing.”
Kenstrom says, “I need to do that.”
Kenstrom nods at Balantine.

Kenstrom exclaims, “BEKKE!”
Speaking casually to Bekke, Cruxophim suggests, “We could just steal the one from the Outpost.”
Speaking suspiciously to Kenstrom, Cruxophim asks, “Wait, if my term ends tonight, what do I? Should I go on an apple-planting spree all over town?”
Speaking to Cruxophim, Bekke says, “Ours needs an area dedicated to blood magic.”
Speaking amusedly to Bekke, Cruxophim admits, “I’m hoping to do more with that on the Order, once I’m a little less busy.”
Bekke asks, “My turn?”
Bekke says, “Ok. Katiesa and I were half joking about the Landing hosting an engagement soiree for Cryheart.”
Bekke says, “Making it a way to invite the nobility to the Landing, and get their feet dirty.”
Kenstrom says, “I’d say go for it.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Bekke says, “I’m not sure who we’d need to contact with the planning.”
Cryheart asks, “Wait…are ye sure ye are nae putting the carriage afore the horse?”
Kenstrom asks, “Maybe try through an mho or che?”
Bekke asks, “Engagement. Aren’t you engaged to ribbon woman?”
Speaking to Cryheart, Ysharra asks, “Are you still dragging your tin-plated feet, Shiny?”
Speaking to Cryheart, Kiske exclaims, “You asked her?!”
Cryheart asks, “Well..courting is nae the same as engagement?”
Speaking to Cryheart, Bekke says, “You’re human, and neither of you is getting any younger.”
Speaking pointedly to Cryheart, Raelee says, “You do appear to be advanced in years.”
Goldstr says, “After 5 years Sir Cryheart gas just started courtin the Baron’s daughter. They’ll both be using canes when they marry.”
Kenstrom says, “But if the party planning is anything like the engagement…”
Goldstr says, “15 years.”
Kenstrom says, “It’ll get done in 13 years.”
Kenstrom snickers.
Evia says, “Course, he could always escort her to frontier days.”
Kenstrom says, “That’d be a good time.”
Cryheart says, “I hae some gifts set for her.”

Kenstrom exclaims, “Logeerkamer!”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Logeerkamer asks, “Will there be a shop replacing the pit?”
Bekke says, “Ok, we’ll see what we can plan.”
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee says, “Fortunately… for the low, low price of 100 simucoins, we can fix that age issue.”
Kenstrom asks, “the pit?”
Roblar deeply says, “Or just a digging drop.”
Roblar deeply says, “But seriously that is so cheap.”
Roblar deeply says, “I wanted that ability a decade + ago and posted about it.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Logeerkamer says, “Their cart got burned after frontier days last year.”
Kenstrom asks, “Whose?”
Kenstrom says, “I’m so confused.”
Kenstrom asks, “The Snake pit?”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Logeerkamer says, “The seller of this and other Luukosian objects.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Divone asks, “Are there any plans to expand Landing as a city or embellish?”
Logeerkamer sheathes a black-bladed ritual dagger with a deep green serpent hilt into one of the small scabbards sewn inside of her snakeskin longcoat.
Kenstrom says, “I will publish the list of shops soon for Frontier Days. It’s less than before. Shrinking it slightly.”
Kenstrom says, “Some might rotate out over the years.”
Speaking affably to Kenstrom, Cruxophim reminds, “There we be the bazaar too, so plenty of shopping regardless!”

Kenstrom says, “Will be awesome.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Logeerkamer says, “I do hope we have one for us of a darker nature.”
Kenstrom says, “Doom and Broom is darker.”
Kenstrom says, “There’s also a new shop called the Wayback Wagon.”
Kenstrom asks, “Expanding the Landing?”

Kenstrom says, “the Wayback Wagon will have some old shout outs.”
Speaking to Kenstrom, Divone says, “New and improved areas….more secret places…”
Kenstrom says, “I have an idea for a new shop/building.”
Balantine quietly asks, “Will the Wayback wagon be selling Juggernauts?”
Kenstrom says, “Working on some other ideas. Slow stuff.”
Kenstrom nods at Divone.

Kenstrom says, “Before I call it a night…”
Kenstrom points at Kaikala.
Kenstrom exclaims, “someone has something to share!”
Kaikala says, “If you were thinking of pie-recipe-ing — those are due by the end of the month.”
Kaikala says, “And if you weren’t thinking of pie-recipe-ing…”
Kaikala warns, “Those are still due at the end of the month.”
Kenstrom says, “You either die a hero or live long enough to become a pie.”
Kaikala says, “I think you have it backwards…”
Kaikala says, “You die a hero or live long enough to… either way you become a pie.”
Kenstrom says, “You merely adopted the pie, I was born in it.”

Kenstrom says, “That’s a wrap! Thank you all for coming.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Go get some rest, and some deeds!”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Because the Kestrels are messed up!”
Kenstrom says, “Oh wait…”
Kenstrom says, “Wait…”
Kenstrom takes off a small cheese-shaped stamp.
Kenstrom stamps Kaikala on the forehead!
Kenstrom says, “HAHAHA.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “Marketing 101!”
Kaikala stares at Kenstrom.

A bolt of lightning streaks down from the sky and strikes Kenstrom!
… 30 points of damage!
Electric blast goes right to the heart! Fibrillation can be fun.

* Kenstrom drops dead at your feet!

A tremendous crack of thunder follows instantly!
Kaikala mutters under her breath.
Kenstrom laughs!
Kenstrom says, “Hahaha.”
Cleodelia exclaims, “Kenstrom Pie!”
Kaikala exclaims, “OMG. Great idea!”
Ysharra says, “That does not sound like good pie. No offense.”
Speaking to Ysharra, Divone says, “It would taste like sadness and plot twists.”
Kenstrom exclaims, “See you all in two weeks!”

Thank you for the log. Hopefully more Redding / NIghts Blade stuff is in the future too. With that in mind.. is there a chance of revisiting the Demon Wall? 🙂

<<Kenstrom says, “I want to do enough to give some….direction, but allow lots of mystery and expansion and interpetation.”
Kenstrom says, “I once assigned it to some wordsmiths, but it didn’t get finished up.”>>

The ill-definition of blood magic has been a special source of discomfort for me, because Xorus’ whole thing is knowing way too much about dark and forbidden magic, and I do not even know how to categorize it. For example, “blood magic” in DragonRealms would fall squarely under necromancy, and it seems to me it should in GemStone as well. But we would not be making a big thing about it if it was just your standard blood and curse related sorcery. Things the Guild will not let us learn.

Blood Burst with Sorcerous Lore in necromancy, for example, transfers blood loss of victims to the caster. Necrotic energy restores blood loss as well. Necromancy is so broadly defined now that it includes basically any dark or destructive effect targeting organic matter. On the other hand, sorcery itself has always been ill-defined, so what is the difference between it and say “witchcraft”? Is it the alchemical dimension of using a substance? Is it a mentalism overlap? Is it transmogrification sorcery?

Glad I could post it, everyone. It was a really fun time. 😀

Right, it’s the same for me where not knowing how to categorize it is problematic. Leafi likes out of the box plans, but I’m not sure whether to think that, say, proposing a blood magic ritual as a solution to a problem is too unsettling for her to consider or to think it’s just crazy enough that it would be one of the first things she’d suggest.

On the other hand, as a player I like speculating, so I don’t mind having some mystery. I just don’t want that mystery to last forever!

+1

This is something I’ve really struggled with too, both ICly and OOCly – as a character that has a very scientific approach to magic (as contradictory as that may sound). I always find myself asking, “But what IS it?”

(And yeah… I know I’ve butted heads with a few people on this, particularly on the involvement of mana.)

Agee with the above posters. Can’t wait for more info on the blood magic stuff. Even us spiritualists can be analytical magic users. Especially after spending a lot of time with Raelee.

I’ve been operating under an IC assumption that it’s similar to sorcery, merging all three known mana types using blood as a catalyst. It’s fun to make assumptions and throw logic at them to make it sound good, but in the absence of documentation that’s as far as it can go.

Subj: Re: Wehnimer's Landing/Humans OOC Meeting – Sun, 6/25, 10pm Eastern
Yeah. Like I said, sorcery itself has always been deeply ill-defined, even in its original Rolemaster source book form. In the Rolemaster Spell Law a full third of its spells are destructive mental effects, with spells that overlapped equivalents or analogs in the Evil Mentalist profession. Why not? The mind, brain, and soul are valid “animate matter” targets. On top of those issues (like what does “hybrid” magic even mean?) the Sorcerer class in GemStone pulled spells from the Evil pure professions.

So, by the strict original definition of the Sorcerer class, sorcery should have nothing to do with necromancy and demonic summoning. Except “Sorcerers” are depicted doing those things anyway even in the I.C.E. Age source books. Then the effective definition in the game has evolved over time, so that necromancy and demonology are the central concepts, even though we know next to nothing about demons and necromancy seems to involve pretty much anything other than the undead.

The bottom line is that if it sounds “dark” it falls under sorcery, unless maybe it is a pure spiritual effect channeled from a dark god. That is a whole other issue. But now we have blood magic, which is apparently one of the forbidden dark arts. The “physics” of how magic works is just really ill-defined in general. The way I see it is that the spells our generalist guild professions have should really be single examples of whole categories of NPC magic that vary culturally and historically.

There might be a school in Nydds that focuses solely on illusion magic, for example, and would say: “What kind of weirdo does this and elemental evocation magic and artificing, and all of it badly?” Sorcerers in the Landing would be dismissed as dilettantes by specialists in Ta’Faendryl. The krolvin are better at summoning demons!
