Yay! Man time flies. So how long has it been in game time?

Subject Time
Well the first adventure, rescuing Rochelle, took several weeks, mainly travel time.
The second adventure, the Testing grounds, also too several weeks, mainly travel time.
This one has also lasted several weeks already.
There was some resting time between adventures.
The first adventure started in mid spring, IIRC. That would make it late spring to early summer right now. One reason why it is not too cold in Bodentown.

Subject The guild
"Meet me? No one meets me. I meet them. Jimmy here will be your contact. Take him with you when you leave and he will report back. I am not usually so trusting but I am itching to get back at the Mayor and I sense something about you. You may be able to cause him some discomfort and I am willing to risk this much to help you." The man holds up the bag of gold. "A nice bag of gold does not hurt either."
"I do not know exactly what he is doing with all that timber. Some of it has been used to expand the size of Bodentown and the wooden wall around the town. However, that would account for only 1/4 of the amount of timber that seems to have been cut down, and they are still cutting. Most of it has been taken out to his estate and that is the last we see of it."
"Leave Bodentown? I was born up here and I will die here, cesspool that it is."
"I do have one more comment for you. If you think you can swing it, you should hire a few headbangers to go with you. Two of you against the Mayor is asking for two new heads on the gates. That is one of the reasons we have not done more. I have a group of Bashers, but they are not warriors. I must warn you though that most, if not all, of those you might hire would probably turn you in when you tell them what you are going to do. People here are afraid of the Mayor."

Subject Hiatus
It looks like we might have to put the game on hiatus starting Saturday.
Kevin is going on vacation and Karl is going to be out of town as well. With Ashley busy with her play, I think I am going to have to put the game on hold until Kevin and Karl get back. That means that the last official turn will be Friday, Jan. 19 and then the game will pick back up on Monday Jan. 29.
However, depending on where people are during that time, I might be able to do short turns for the others, such as Kal or Mund or Ally, etc.
