Touche.

"Oh, no, of course we should leave. Head for the door, why don't you?" Hmm?

"Good? I wouldn't go that far, there was a book review I was working on. In any case, might it be a good idea for us to get across that pit over there? Hefting books around puts one in better shape than one might think." [ooc]The point of me looking for writing-esque things is for me to ca...

"Eh? No, it's not hell, seems like some dungeon complex thing made by someone that doesn't particularly like us."

Archibald extends a withered, gnarled hand to the young lady and introduces himself.

For your first date, you'll go to lunch on Friday from 12 PM – 1 PM with Mike Mearls, senior manager of the D&D Research and Design team. During this clandestine retreat, you'll be offered the opportunity to go under NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and ask Mike anything about the current design ...

What? Eh? Who the devil are you? Oh, it's no matter. We're all going to die, anyways. I came out of that room a different person than therm who went in- it wasn't pleasant. Let's get out of this place. Archibald follows Olaf, looking for something interesting. Is there anything that looks like writi...

He had no idea, either. He started off by listing the papers he'd been cited in, and then realized that wasn't the matter at hand.

I was actually stupid enough to not realize what it was until after I said "seven," when asked how many. I'm shocked I'm not dead.

"Well, I'm sure he'll be fine. Anybody else want to try their luck?"

"Deck of Many Things, old boy. I always thought it was a legend perpetrated by shiftless students with nothing more to do except scribble in archives, but it's real. You draw from the deck, and the cards do things to you. Good things and bad things. Some very good, some very bad. I got off ligh...

Also, I do believe that axe up there is magical, if one of you chappies wouldn't mind getting it somehow.

"Well. That was unexpected. Afternoon, everyone! Did you miss me?"

"Hello, everyone!" Archibald seems different, somehow, with a slightly crazed look in his eyes. He's also wearing a headband and carrying a staff that were definitely not there before. He shakes the staff vigorously at the creature while yelling "Work, dammit!"

I was expecting you guys to take a hell of a lot longer to go medieval on the collective asses of a great deal of the Elder Scrolls pantheon, for one thing.

[ooc]I'm travelling for most of the rest of today, but I should have intermittent internet access. Can you PM me what I see on the other side of the door?[/ooc]

The right lever, that is.

Have WotC gone so far off the deep end that they've somehow confused snails with some kind of weird one-legged monster?

Okay, fuck it. I try to pull the levers. I'd like to apologize in advance if we all die.

Yeah, okay, good point.

DAMMIT, MAN, IT'S THE LEVERS, IT HAS TO BE, SO GET OVER HERE AND HELP ME OR I'LL NEVER WRITE YOU A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION, SO HELP ME GOD!

What I meant that was since there are people in the Covenant, especially in CdM, who know this kind of shit back-to-front, it shouldn't be difficult to get this kind of thing translated if need be: of course Joe Schmo the translator won't be able do it, but a three hundred-year old vampire should be...

Yeah, I noticed that too when I played Oblivion. There are mods that kinda fix it, in all fairness, but it's still stupid.

In real life, yes, that's super stupid, as being of a higher rank simply confers greater amounts of influence and power, and correlates with combat ability to a much smaller extent. Dukes might tend to be better than knights since they have access to better teachers and equipment, but there will be ...

What kinds of things do feats do other than boost abilities (I've never played 4e)?
