I'm just a blogging fool tonight.
We're on for the next Emirikol game on the day after Halloween, and I'm using the public forum as a warning to the players that their characters are going to have to man up, grow some chest hair, figure out how to munchkin the hell out of their available resources and gird your loins with a Codpiece of Lighting Resistance. Do not hesitate to call on political connections and old favors. Offer up shares of the hoard for the loan of magic items. Rifles are your friend. Remember that you have Honor points good for Aid spells and Bull's Strengths.
Of course, none of this means sending an NPC in to do your job, cause that's just not how it's done.
For those not in the know, they had a run in with a dragon last game that left them pretty well humiliated - he took their magic sword and ate their horses, and only the assistance of some local gnomes stopped the next few hours from being a rendition of the Blair Dragon Project as the thing stalked and killed them through the dense woodlands. Being player characters they are going to get their sword back. Melas will then let the dragon borrow it for a few minutes...right up to the hilt!

But if you go in cocky or underprepared, this SOB will eat you. Dragons be tough.
That is all.
