There was a young man from Japan
Whose limericks never did scan
He said "I do try,
But I realise why
It’s because I get carried away with enthusiasm whenever I set out to compose something and then I find to my horror that I’m trying to get as many words in the last line as I possibly can.
There was a young man from Peru
Whose limericks stopped at line two.
There was an old maid from Saigon.
Brevity is the soul of
Haiku is a fine
form of poetry, I think;
simple, elegant.
Did you mean a “great eagle”?
(Goes off picturing a great flying evil. Can’t quite put it in dimensions. Maybe it looks kind of like the thing in the remake of House on Haunted Hill.)
:smack: Eagle, yes.
Heh, heh.
Freudian slip?
(I bet the flying thing is evil.)
Uh… no bet. 
We’ve seem to have created a Cheshire Cat in a Suit of Galvorn Chain.
I’m making a basic map of the battle. I’ll post today.
Leaving nothing behind but a smile 
Oh, an eagle. That does put a different spin on things. Deor will panic a little less now.
I’ll be out of town for the rest of the week at Origins gaming convention, so I probably won’t be able to post until next Monday.
Have a good trip!

Sorry for the delay, I was offline with a stomach virus yesterday. I’ll catch up today, maybe not until tonight though.

I will update shortly, I was giving a little longer for replies, but it is time to let things happen.
Thanks - not a moment too soon, I fear. The game thread has dropped off p. 1! :eek:
Upon further reflection, I may have misinterpreted your statement about the ballistae, What Exit? Are the ballistae still manned by the enemy or have they been dealt with already? If the latter, then my plan in the game thread works fine; if the former, then I will lead the knights in a charge to capture the ballistae first, then go ahead with my plan.
Sorry if I messed that up.
How many hitpoints does Bitur have in total? I don’t think I’ve got a copy of the new character sheet?
