Kailyn When Kailyn arrives at the headquarters, he sees Ursula and Petrol backing a four-horse wagon into the stable door around back. The wagon is bright red, so freshly painted that it looks sticky. The horses look mis-matched and ill-trained, so backing the wagon up isn't going very smoothly. Ka...

Hyne moves silently past the funeral crowd, and avoids drawing any attention. The bonfire-ship moves out away from the docks, towards the gap in the breakwater between the two lighthouses. One person breaks away from the crowd and begins moving rapidly in the same direction as Hyne is going. He isn'...

Catt falls over laughing "Siege weapons? The purple dragons are going to fight a dragon with SIEGE WEAPONS? Now that is a disaster I would almost PAY to see. What is this, a dragon with no legs?" Catt puts on a voice of what she imagines a member of the Purple Dragons might sound like, whi...

The sky continues to redden and darken as the sun sets and the storm approaches. Hyne heads back to the docks to meet Captain Wizard Crawford at his ships. The first hints of rain begin. Just a tiny sprinkle now, but surely a harbinger of what is to come. The docks are more crowded now. Many captain...

Catt gladly accepts the murky ale and quaffs it down. She slaps the orc who gave it to her heartily on the back

"*Burp* Good stuff! Tastes like Dragon's slime!"

"So you guys DO have booze. What's Ol' Patchy's problem then? Why does he have such a stick up his butt?" she asks.

For the next few hours, Hyne is able to keep moving and avoid notice. He catches no further glimpses of either LeBleu or Flumphy The storm clouds over the sea grow darker, and pile up, looming over shore. It isn't raining yet, but it looks likely to do so sometime in the night. Out among the docks, ...

@KutKu: now that I know you are making a tactics game, I am not worried about how you are using your "while" loops. Sounds like you are on the right track there. One big outer while for the whole game loop, and a number of smaller while loops inside controlling each phase. It is important ...

Welcome, and hello, KutKu! :) The first thing I notice right away, is that you are using the "menu is open" command wrong It requires a "menu handle" which is not the same thing as the menu id number. variable(menu handle) menu handle := open menu &#40...

Which way did Hyne go? Down the alley? Down the street? Hyne gets a substantial lead before Flumphy even seems to notice that Hyne is running away. The Flumph gives chase, but although his top hover speed is faster than a walk, it is still slower than Hyne can run "Wait! Oh dear!" the Flu...

...It worries him a bit that he's now associated with someone he's never heard of before, but he can't stand there and interrogate the creature right now... it has been more than 6 months in real-time since you heard the name, so I am not surprised you forgot :) But in game-time, it has only been 2...

At the one-eyed orc's cold response, Catt realizes her terrible faux paus. "Oh, gods! I am sorry!" she says, chasing after him. "I didn't realize that you guys don't have any booze " she speaks this last bit with all the seriousness and gravity that it deserves. "That was so...

Flumphy stops and hovers in place for an instant, then he flings up a few tentacles and waves them about in dismay " Your Spies ? Oh dear! I thought you were Borgan's man... who are you? Who are you working for!? Is it ... no, no, Cray! He's working for Cray!" the Flumph thinks in a panick...
