Ironically, since Best was the really self-absorbed bitchy person obsessed with sex and the first to disappear, this analogy feels quite accurate. Syr’nj or Gravy, being the nerdy ones of the group, would then be second or third to last to die.
There are failures for which you should not forgive yourself and those which you should the farmer was regrettable but you must ask could you have for seen it. If you could not then you should. Honor his loss by learning from it and not repeating your mistake. With Rachel there is nothing to forgive, she freely gave herself to save Frigg and you were in no position to reach her in time.
Very dwarven. A lifetime of craftsmanship, duty and self sacrifice. Then you have a bad day, things get out of hand despite your best efforts. Like a mountain they endure, but when there is a crack it all fall apart like an avalanche.
Good luck to you gravedust! If this was LotR you’d end up like Thror (consumed by failure, marched into Moria with his head up high…alone). If this was Warhammer you’d die your hair orange, turn it into a mohawk, and go on a alcohol and drug filled killing spree. If this was Dragonage, you’d strap on a suit of armor and join the suicide brigade in a glorious, losing battle. You have alot of choices in falling apart, but there are many great precedents out there. Just remember! Just because you have been hanging out with humans, gnomes and elves, that is no excuse to go emo about this. And ancestors forbid, don’t talk yourself into ‘forgiveness.’ There is no word for forgiveness in dwarven! Only different kinds of restitution. Make someone pay in blood!
He’d probably wander off and fall into lava. Or a strange mood would strike him and he’d make some master crafted furniture covered in spikes, and with scenes of elephants/dwarfs on fire.
So…E-Merl is going to lead the new Peacemakers by merrit of being the last one left. (I mean Frigg is still there but lets face it even if she wasn’t super depressed and constantly drunk after Rachel’s death she would still not be a good choice for team leader. Or maybe, without even trying, E-Merl will prove himself leadership quality by talking Gravedust out of leaving. Either way it certainly looks like he is about to go off an ol’ Gravey.
And Gravy is giving him tons of ammo to use with that spine. I mean Gravy is ignoring all the, possibly hundreds of, souls he saved from oblivion despite his errors and on top of that he is taking complete responsibility for Rachel’s free willed actions she made in full knowledge of what could result from it. He’s gone from being very serious and responsible out the other side to arrogant and somebody needs to reign him back in. (of course having the boss elf lady abuse his instincts as to the use of his own powers probably is what set him down this road so hard)
Gravy Train has too high expectations. He will probably go sit at a hut in the middle of the woods somewhere waiting for wandering ghosts to repeatedly ask for a ooOOooOoooo.
Are you serious!? There’s an entire order of the stick book named after the bad things which happen when you split the party! Don’t split the Party guys. The world kind of needs you, and I’m not sure us readers can stand having to follow a bunch of different groups of people.
Love the avatar, Locke. ;D Also, I’ve forgotten which path had to go first, so that Shadow would tag along until Baren Falls. Haven’t seen the fancy videos of the PS revamp, guess I’ll dust it off shortly.
So the new main party is a depressed alcoholic take no bullshit paladin, a cyber bard with amnesia/a new personality, and a grief consumed conjuror turned battlemage (I assume). Also, and implied Druid replacement for Scipio that we don’t know anything about. Damn but this reminds me of a pathfinder campaign from a while back.
So, one of them let the killer bird out of the cage, and the other one is hauling off the dead hubby in a sack.
What will it take to make Syrn’j flip out completely?
Errr… I may have misunderstood, but while Gravy tried to communicate with the dead in the room full of corpses, nobody answered. I thought it was because of that that Syrn’j told of him as indisposed in a previous page, because she thought he would try again. Which he doesn’t seem willing to do anymore.
From Gravy’s point of view, yes, certainly. From Syrn’j’s, though, I’m not so sure. She would have said he was leaving, wouldn’t she ? But it seems to me that the idea didn’t even cross her mind, just as much as she didn’t expect Scipio to follow her sister…
First rule playing mmorpgs: do not get emotionally involved.
Second rule: ignore the first rule if you feel like it.
Third rule: get a life.
Eventually.
Don’t Split the party!
Why? What’s the worst that could happen?
Ok, let’s split up. Daphne and I will look over here. Shaggy, you and Velma go that way.
If this were a horror film, e-Merl (the funny guy) or Bragga (the…black guy?) would be dead by now.

The wheels are coming off this train, man..

Yea he could have forseen it. A previous ghost already told him that the beast could kill ghosts.
Appropriate avatar is appropriate
At least Rachel hasn’t gone to Skyrim, hyak, hyak.
Or even worse, Morrowind. Cliff racers, cliff racers everywhere.
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hated those frackin’ things.
My reaction to seeing the first trailer for Skyrim, years ago:
“Wow, they grow their cliff racers BIG up there.”

So what about if this was Dwarf Fortress?
Boatmurdered.
He’d probably wander off and fall into lava. Or a strange mood would strike him and he’d make some master crafted furniture covered in spikes, and with scenes of elephants/dwarfs on fire.
Dwarf Fortress can be odd…

All this so that Bryon can do the whole, “Gettin’ the Band back together man!” thing?
I sense we’re about to experience e-Merl having a spine.
And Gravy is giving him tons of ammo to use with that spine. I mean Gravy is ignoring all the, possibly hundreds of, souls he saved from oblivion despite his errors and on top of that he is taking complete responsibility for Rachel’s free willed actions she made in full knowledge of what could result from it.

Wow. HR did his homework. Looks like there’s only Syr’Nj & Frigg left. And I doubt those bonds are strong enough to last.
Depending what happens with WAV.
man, our Free Company is falling apart!
Alt-text made me snort.

Appropriate Gravatar is appropriate.
Edgar and Terra race toward Narshe while protecting Banon…
…but what about Sabin, who was swallowed by the raging waters…?
And how is Locke faring, after having penetrated the Empire’s defenses in South Figaro… Is all going according to plan…?
Choose a scenario, Kupo!
I choose whichever one involves Ultros.
Love the avatar, Locke. ;D Also, I’ve forgotten which path had to go first, so that Shadow would tag along until Baren Falls. Haven’t seen the fancy videos of the PS revamp, guess I’ll dust it off shortly.

“Indisposed” could also mean “I have seen what the war has cost me and my friends and I’m leaving, despite the boss lady’s best efforts”.
From Gravy’s point of view, yes, certainly. From Syrn’j’s, though, I’m not so sure. She would have said he was leaving, wouldn’t she ? But it seems to me that the idea didn’t even cross her mind, just as much as she didn’t expect Scipio to follow her sister…
Man. I sure hope my calculator doesn’t feel this bad everytime it gives me an ERR reply.
First rule playing mmorpgs: do not get emotionally involved.
Second rule: ignore the first rule if you feel like it.

I had a life, it didn’t go to plan.
So now I hide from it online.
Aaaand caught up.. Better bookmark this.
