[...] is it me or is the game itself trying to prevent The Master's turn?
The game has done worse.

And finally... the conclusion of the Parasol Trench battle... and the beginning of the next arc.

Yeah, sorry I posted my take on that very battle ahead of time. I was ina hurry and I still don't feel good (If I end up sick on christmas again I'm gonna be pissed) so pardon that. Want me to yank it and move it further down here?

Lol, of course not. It's the same read either way. Don't worry about it, man, and I hope you start feeling better soon.

I have a feeling it's my sleep schedule I don't think 5-6 hours of sleep after being up 24 hours is normal.  :-\

Sounds like that guy got damn lucky. Better hope this isn't some clever rouse to draw him into a sniper's fire.

I think so too. Sounds like they're trying to trick Catten.

I find this humerous, but the hammers can't be that big if dwarves can use them one handed. Though i will be fair, it is made out of pitchblende....

Well, I'm pretty sure "warhammers" actually aren't that big -- the giant-ass kitten masher most people associate with the word is actually called a maul or something (NOTE: I AM NOT AN EXPERT, NOR DID I BOTHER GOOGLING THIS). I suppose it depends on what Xahnel was using the word to mean, though.

Which segues nicely to my next point, which is that discussing this without Xahnel here to defend his character seems a bit skeevy to me. (It seems to be over already, though, so whatever.)


I personally prefer this test, I think because it does a better job of diagnosing what exactly is wrong with the character.

I'd say she's been done justice. And yes, you were thinking of a maul or another form people know it as, the war gavel (Or raven's beak, sledge hammer.) Think the hammer a judge uses except meant for smashing heads instead of that wooden pad thing.

Score 19, just like Reudh... It's not really that different.

As for Rose's warhammer, Xahnel said it was big. Not one of those small, more-realistic warhammers. He's also said right out that Rose was a Mary Sue, so I don't think he'd mind. I think he'd actually think it a little cool. :)

Read the first line... >.> I don't think I like that test anymore. lol   (12 pts, btw)



I have to ask... I don't usually, but I'm a bit worried... What opinion do you guys have of how I did the parasol trench arc? (meeting everybody, learning stuff, everybody dying)

So you'd like to be a gibbering mental patient who is only just beginning to regain thier grip on thier former sanity?

On Rose: She had a larger one but it has since been replaced by the one she was issued as part of her equipment when she was taken on as a bodyguard. I wouldn't doubt that she keeps her old one in her room though. I would have issued her a maul, but she wasn't big enough in game to use one (Only the biggest dwarves can anyway.)

EDIT: Ran the Sewaturet overseer through both: General consensus is I need to refine and detatch a little him a bit. Eh. Could have been worse, though I did factor in alot of crap that hasn't been brought up in this that I had written down for him.
