Zach, you did great! I mean what else would a curious new mage do but try to take a peek. I think you both did a fine job, and I hope you guys keep it up. I hope to met you, again, ingame again soon.zach2588 wrote:I would like to say, as the rather foolhardy noob that went into the ogre cave alone =P, that the quest Lokan put together was spot on as an introduction to Dmed quests in Alfa, at no point did I feel my actions where decided and I was given the opportunity to escape and nearly make it away. As Lokan said the promise of the gold was what I would see that PC pursuing over the defense of some dwarf. He did survive the encounter barely but because because I wasn't really enjoying the character I decided to roll a new character. And because he was never seen again (been quiet this week from the EU folks, where are you all?) people he had met assumed he died in the last place he was seen.
Anyways, this idea of emergent stories and actual risk are what attracted me to ALFA in the first place, sorry if you where a little mislead about the fate of Sato Orangetree, but as I figured it there was no way in character to let you know.
OT, I think, just needed a bit more communication. I wasn't defending anything with my explanation of the event, just clarifying, so maybe others might get what I might be thinking as we play together. Sometimes its tough to understand what is going on IG from both the DM and/or player standpoint.
