What recurring theme are you referring to?

Okay, let's see... the battle from 19th of December, 1781 G.C.C, the claw mark on Ev's armor, and Timur's arm - seems to imply that everyone in town is dealing with some kind of demonic menace. Where are the demons coming from? Is there a hive full of little satans somewhere on Thin Isles? Besides the efforts undertaken by the adventurers, what actions have the military/government of Thin isle done so far against the threat? Why are the demons invading? And can we eat them?

Uh... well, as a few of us have mentioned repeatedly, the whole reason there was an expedition to the Thin Isles is to drive back the demon horde that invaded them. So yes, there's a demonic menace. As for where they're coming from, the answer would be an Inferno - a pocket dimension of sorts that serves as a gateway between capital H Hell and Gaiaca (Earth). This fact, as well as the whereabouts of the actual gateway, is unknown to the characters however.

The military of the Thin Isles is, well, fighting. The Baron himself led his hussars into the fray during the battle outside the gates of Mithsbow, which occurred right on the night before the current day. In fact the efforts of the adventurers were coordinated with the Baron's forces and the Federal troops.

I think you can eat them, but judging by how Erosen ended up, you probably shouldn't.

I really appreciate the posts with Everard and Trish mentioning Aerion btw and I have read them, even if I didn't mention it in my post. In both cases I didn't feel like there was much they did for him to respond to. I did particularly like Zarkenis' descriptions of Aerion and his dull eyes though.

That's perfectly fine. Glad you enjoyed the post!

I really liked the glasses analogy.

Actually, his arm is just kind of…like that. Nothing demonic there.

I've caught up with the flashbacks. Great posts, Laz and Woods!

Now, I want to be nice, so I'll put it like this.

Ameri, did Eric forget who was who?

...Goddamn it.

No worries, I mean he was also getting chummy with Aerion on the boat, just thought he'd been mistaken. It'd be funny if that was a canonical mistake though.

I'm imagining Tristan and Hakkon having a normal stroll, cracking jokes, getting doughnuts or something while everyone else is on the verge of a magic fistfight.

Wood, Albrheim is still in the U.G.F, with Haventown being the new capital of Albrasfont/East Albrion. At least Baron Franz got to go to the main Albrish victory parade.

That was literally my plan

Hakkon: "What a glorious morning after killing demons all night! Life is good, and so are doughnuts!"
Tristan: "Gee, you're right, my new best friend! I sure can't wait to see my gorgeous wife and have a relaxing time with the rest of our friends."
Trish: "I am one funny look away from making Aerion into a literal snowman."

I love how well this captures all three of them.

Edited, Thanks

Looks like I’m probably good to move the situation onwards a little. I’ll have a post up tonight or tomorrow afternoon, depending on whether Joe Burrow can keep the Bengals in it or if it’s a blow out.

YO stone hounds??? Fricking cool

I forgot that Valentine’s Day was a thing and consequently did not end up doing any writing. I’ll try to post sooner than later, but the way things have been at work I’m leaning towards the weekend.

Hey man no worries lol! Happy valentines!

While doing assorted research for designing another area the characters will be going to soon enough I stumbled upon this list of old occupations people used to have. New goal is for the characters to meet someone from every profession on this list.

Good Loyal Host that is a long list.

I bet Eric knows many a zumologist

Lot of different way to just say "I run a tavern" on there.

Running a tavern may have been their equivalent to getting a business degree from college today.

A propos of nothing, I love the reference to one of my favorite movies in your new flag, Const.

Is it not also a novel? Master and Commander, correct?

Post coming this evening. Probably.

Thanks, I figured it was time to take down the Christmas flag eventually. I had seen the film a while ago, and started reading the book this week, so I decided to use it as the basis for my new flag.

Cool beans.
