Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Well, back from live-roleplaying and I'm pleased to say that although I thought I was dead on Saturday afternoon, apparently a physician stopped the bleeding just in time and so I survived. It's odd walking around being greeted by cries of "I thought you were dead!" :-)

However, the death I suffered on Sunday afternoon did happen. Being ahead of the party (or rather behind the party, as it fled), surrounded by foes and unable to walk rather has that effect. It's odd to be lying in the middle of a compound hearing folk you barely know bewailing your fate while a necromancer sends your soul to join the Gods 0:-D

I should have seen the New Kit Curse coming when I not only made myself some new kit but *also* helped someone else make herself some earlier that weekend. She ended up lying next to me in the funeral :-(

I'm sad to lose the character, as he was fun to play; but it was nice to lose him where he was prominent among the 200-odd people. That way I spent the rest of the day with lots of very kind people saying how they'd liked him and how sad they were that he was dead. Definitely the right way to go :-)

Hmm, you'd think there'd be a "Dead" mood icon. This'll have to do...

Hello Sir Cyril - or whoever you are now. A Griffin squire, right?

It's amazing what you can find doing an interests search on Fools and Heroes. There's even a community, though it's virtually inactive.

Yep, I'm one of the new intake of Griffins. If I'd known there'd be quite so many I might have gone for something else, but then again having three of us in Guildford/Portsmouth should make for some interesting missions :-)

I can see how an FnH community would be a bit quiet - what would you want to say here that wouldn't be better on the main boards?

It's not like the Church can't use the numbers. Ten lost in August, not counting Faith.

LJ communities are not something to ask 'why' about. They just are.

Well why would I be counting Faith? Yes, she's a Crowan priestess; but a half-orc? No real loss.

(Gosh, it's confusing switching from a Grey's opinions on these things to a Griffin's :-) )
