Darvin and Talathel awoke, Beranhond tried to engage Grumbleshanks and Gurkirat in conversation, and food was brought in and Grumbleshanks began to eat. Gurkirat began eating as well. Beranhond felt a bit slighted by the silence that followed his greeting, and tried to Darvin instead. Failing that, he decided eating was a good idea. Unfortunately, Beranhond's cat, Tigrisclawu, had other ideas, and decided to create a ruckus, ruining the food that everyone was enjoying and pissing off Grumbleshanks.
Having lain awake but unmoving until this point, Talathel realized that he really had to pee. Tigrisclawu needed to go out, too. Tigrisclawu went outside, and Talathel mentioned he needed to use the restroom, followed by almost everyone else. Grumbleshanks took the opportunity to ask the guards outside the door what was happening, which was a question the guards were unable to answer. Beranhond scolded Tigrisclawu and repaired the food. Talathel, Darvin, and Beranhond headed to the restrooms, and Beranhond waited while Darvin and Talathel took their turns.
Wow, I forgot how much excrement I had to put up with at the beginning... ;)
Back in the room, Grumbleshanks explored a bit and finds a back room filled with silver weapons. Tigrisclawu grew bored waiting in line for the bathrooms and checked out the kitchens. Beranhond follows his lead and grills the chef for information (pun intended). Gurkirat grows bored waiting for everyone to get done with their exploration and plays his clarinet. A man walks, unnoticed, down the hallway and stands in the doorway of the room where Gurkirat and Grumbleshanks are hanging out. He is finally detected when Talathel and Darvin return from the restroom. Grumbleshanks finally notices the man in the doorway, too. Beranhond goes and shaves, then returns to the room.
I'd like to point out that we only went to the bathroom once during the entire campaign...
ReplyDeleteYes, you have a point. I appreciate that you have not repeated that escapade. However, that one trip to the bathroom took from October 22nd through October 26th in real time. I'm not sure there's much that is more agonizing than spending 5 days in the bathroom... I will never get that time back.
ReplyDeleteThat's why half of Talathel's year was spent taking a piss.
ReplyDeleteWhy are we starting this game back up again? Please remind me. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd Nym, I'm still working on getting to your introduction. It just takes forever to go through all of these old posts. This summary includes posts ~245-287 of the content from chapter 1.2. So I've gone through ~80 posts out of 463. I'm more than 1/6 of the way through! Yippee!
