Minutes from the Guild Meeting
1st Fruit 801 WK

0) Rule clarification - Stun recovery
Recovery from stun occurs as an action in each pulse. There is an extra 
recovery at the end of the first pulse of stun.

The Guild Meeting occurred late as there was some delay getting a working 
key to the meeting hall from the Guild Custodian.

1) Notices
The Guild Chairperson performed a ritual sacrifice ad concluded from the 
results that there would be less trouble in the East. Also he told the 
assembled that the quality of complaints this quarter have improved.

It was pointed out that the Guild is now 20 years old.

The Dark Circle is still pulsating around the border that it had last 
quarter. It may have shrunk slightly. Armed parties have gone down to 
Brasta to do the planting.

2) Adventures going out
a) A Guild Rep  - A bunch of adventurers require assistance to retrieve 
their gear as they lost it and want it back. William, Mt Eden.

b) Daryl, a dwarf in his Sunday mining best. He's Brundar's cousin and told 
him that his mother's birthday is coming up and she wants him back. 
However, she's in a spot of bother so Brundar can bring a few friends to 
help sort it out, otherwise he may be attending her funeral. Gordon, 
low/competent, Mt Wgtn, Tuesdays.

c) Gurth, a dwarf. Wants a party to find a fellow called Flintoff, or at 
least his diary. Last seen somewhere in an underground free trading drow 
city. Payment is guild rates plus 5000sp for Flintoff and 25000sp for his 
diary. Jeff (for Miles), Wednesday, Grafton.

d) Mortimer. Has been working with a council of mechanicians in MMHS 
building a steam powered machine designed to build roads. Somehow they 
managed to lose it between there and Seagate. Some of the council members 
went looking for it and they're lost too although there may not be foul 
play involved. A note was received saying that money is not an objective 
and that cash rewards are limited, i.e. 1000sp. So Mortimer is adding 100 
guineas to the pot. The machine is the size of a house and moves at a slow 
walking pace. It's current operational status is unknown. Martin, 
low/medium, Avondale, Thursdays.

e) An adventure run by Jim was mentioned but no one knew anything about it.

f) Guild Security - Want the situation between Destiny and 
Artzdorf/Flugelheim investigated to see what's going on. There has been no 
news from that area for a while. Struan, Tuesday. Overflow adventure with 
the possibility of solos. Place as appropriate.

g) Flint, an adventurer. Has obtained a magical bag but, lately, things put 
inside in have been disappearing. Wants a party to investigate. The payment 
is also in the bag. Keith, Mangere Bridge, Mondays, Medium overflow.

Awards

1) Stupidest Adventurer
Braegon - While travelling in the desert they spotted some scouts and 
Braegon, as party leader, decided not to take them out. They were then 
attacked by a very large force.

Vychan - he has the ability to summon an earth elemental and put it in his 
armour. However, if he leaves the ground, the elemental is released. While 
they were hiding out in a building with a runeportal nearby, a bird thing 
flew overhead and Vychan decided to go get it. That left an uncontrolled 
earth elemental in the area that proceeded to lay waste to everything around.

Drum - Thorn has a collapsable fortress which can keep the party safe. Drum 
decided to sleep outside and was attacked by vampires.

Brightflare - While in a fungal forest, where the air was full of flammable 
spores, Brightflare used a self immolate.

Basalic - tested a suspicious Wall of Stone by stepping on it.

         Winner - Vychan

2) Smartest Adventurer
Basalic - for tunnelling out the base of the tower where the harpies were 
and causing it to fall over.

Ithilmor - The party were fighting a demon in a convent. Males in this 
convent are repeatedly attacked by magical fire at night. The demon was 
lured in the area and Ithilmor used a device to turn day into night.

         Winner - Ithilmor

3) Bravest Adventurer
Adam/Silverfoam/Keisha/Grendal - for arranging not to be a 'fully 
functioning male' before the fight in the convent.

Anathea - She was on a flying door, loaded down with several gallons of 
holy water. The door was set on a rapid collision course with the demon 
Cain and Anathea kept the door on course despite being attacked by a succubus.

         Winner - Anathea

4) Best Death
Anathea - After crashing into Cain she was hauled out by a fellow 
adventurer. She had a trollskin on but was very badly damaged. She was 
picked up and flown towards the waiting healers. Unfortunately the flier 
wasn't very skilled and ended up crashing into a nearby tree. It was then 
that the trollskin wore off.
Amand - The party were ambushed by goblins and Amand slowed them down by 
acting as a wall between them and the rest of the party.

         Winner - Anathea
