Minutes from the Guild Meeting

Announcements
The character stat proposal, as mentioned in the e-mail lists, has been
shot down.
No word of Spy or Thief.
The current Character Tribunal is Mandos, William, and .. one other. The
tribunal is to oversee the creation of non-standard characters,
backgrounds, and the rolling of aspects. Standard characters only require a
GM to supervise their creation and another experienced GM to sign them off
within six months. An experienced GM is defined as one having done at least
2 or 3 adventures and has an understanding of the rules and campaign setting.
Adventures going out
Baron Francis of Newcourt (Mandos) There was a problem in a village. A
previous Guild party had knocked down the church so a new church is being
built on a different spot. During construction, a Urealite priest vanished
and the Michaelines want to burn down the forest as it is believed the
local fey are responsible. (Wednesday, Low-medium, place tba, only humans
required)
The beautiful daughter of the Great Wizard Zaquon (William) The wizard
requires a Guild party to do six impossible things before breakfast. 1)
Locate the Iron Fortress which is presumed to be mythical (2) Infiltrate
it, noting that it is occupied by an unknown race, stranger than anything
known or rumoured) (3) Find out how it is controlled and bring it back. (4)
Position it over the Pit of Hell (5) Make sure it isn't gated away and (6)
Recover the Orb of Brilliance. The payment is loot and one sumptuous
breakfast. The Illamari were also mentioned. (Tuesdays, Medium rare)
A short guy in a jester's outfit, minus bells, (Bernard) introduced himself
as Marvin, aide to Lord Argon. He is to inherit the title of Duke and needs
to see the King. He is also running out of bodyguards. 2000sp base rate has
already been deposited with the Guild and will pay extra. (Low to low-med,
Mondays/Wednesdays, place:tba)
A non-descript person (Ian) Beside him a a person in a noble outfit. There
is a civil war. The King's older brother is leading a group of malcontent
nobles. A call to arms has gone out but one province has not sent anyone
and there has been no reply. So the province has been declared in rebellion
and is to be struck down. However, a party is required to go in there and
find out what is going on. Also, all collected taxes from that province
have mysteriously vanished, along with the ballgown that had been made for
the Princess, which also came from that province. (Medium, to be run over
four weekends).
There being a requirement for it, Struan offered to run an overflow. All
that was known about was that the party was going somewhere cold.
Awards
Smartest
Wordsmith - The party were in a crystal cave containing crystal plants and
animals etc, that were sharp enough to cause severe injury. Flying was the
only viable option but visibility was limited to 50ft because of glare.
Wordsmith was also to fly slowly so he left markers for the others to
navigate safely.
Adam Vychan Jones - For standing in front of Flamis to protect her from the
incoming missile fire while she prepared Dragonflames.
Winner - Wordsmith
Bravest
Adam Vychan Jones - for continuing to protect Flamis from the rain of
arrows even though he was facing certain death.
Sam - the party were camping in an area full of undead that were trying to
eat them by laying traps around the campsite etc. Every morning Sam went
out first.
Silverfoam - while badly wounded, he refuses to drink a healing potion
until it has 'aired' a bit. Instead he charged into combat, then drank it.
Saute - went straight ahead to whallop a Mind Mage who was casting TK Rages.
Winner - Silverfoam
Stupidest.
Brightflare - dragonflaming a party member, encouraging a fire elemental
that nearly drowned many of the party - While fighting a demon, Gok was
engaging it by throwing pillows at it, Morgan was standing firm, and
Brightflare was flying above carpetbombing the area with dragonsblood. As
well as damaging the demon, he took out Morgan's armour, another party
member, and dissolved the floor they were standing on.
Lady Summers - An invitation was received from the Thieves Guild basically
'Come with us' - signed 'The Bad Guys'. She went anyway, by herself, and
was controlled.
Silverfoam - While the party were storming a tower, Silverfoam's idea of
carefully scouting was to fly over the top - he was attacked by an air
elemental - and had no fatigue left at the time.
Retsum - while the party were staying on the undead plain. There was an
unusual number of undead out there and, even though there was a sign saying
'Don't open the door' Retsum opened the door and went out anyway.
Winner - (by lots) Brightflare.
Best Death
Silverfoam - being ripped apart by the air elemental. He spent the two
rounds before his inevitable death raising everyone else's moral. (Cheer
up - it's not happening to you)
Jhiselle - was firebombed by Brightflare. Since she is pacted to Sier,
Brightflare is now a thief magnet.
Winner (by an overwhelming majority) Silverfoam
