OGR Absence

Post by oldgrayrogue »

So NY got hit with a storm last Friday that knocked out my power. I still had cable/internet/phones but that got knocked out while I was gaming on WD Friday or Saturday night I believe. Since then no power/internet/cable/phones (thank God for cell phones). Running my essentials off of a gas generator. Just got cable and internet back today but another storm is supposed to hit tonight so who knows?? Hopefully everything gets restored over this weekend.

Yeah, you guys are getting slammed hard by the March Lion. I have two coworkers down here in the DC area that were without power all weekend, but fortunately this current storm is not hitting us nearly as hard as it is further north (read rain and sleet instead of snow). I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

But talk about injury to insult though: losing power after Thror gets kidnapped by goblins! :wall:

So, WW, this makes three dwarves you've gotten killed/captured?

Am I reading that correctly?

Shhhh. Soon they will realize that Murgen is really a Sun Elf with many, many ranks in disguise!

I knew Alora was right to walk away from that dumpster fire of a quest.

May as well make that four. I mean, Ig died of his own accord, but feel free to circulate rumors about Murg.
Talk less. Listen more.

Heard about those Nor'Easters blowing in. We'll keep a mug of ale ready for you at the safehaven when you get things sorted!
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

Well, sh!t. Damn, that sucks.

I too am sure that Murgen is somehow responsible, even if I wasn't online at the time. The devious dorf has a mind of his own, it seems!

Daggerford Militia Patrol: ewwwwww, what is that?
Second Patroller: Looks like some creature got ated up.
First Patroller: Some armor, maybe a human?
Second Patroller: Naw, dwarf.
First Patroller: How can you tell, just chewed up bones? Looks like Lions got him.
Second Patroller: See here, a fully intact dwarf beard, a carnivore would never touch a dwarf beard, no telling where it has been. Some sort of instinct.
First Patroller: Ah I see.
Second Patroller: In Valhalla there be a dwarf grinning ear to ear guzzling ale spilling into his full dwarf beard. And recounting harrowing tales with his reunited companions!
