D&D Weekend: Part Deux!
August 20, 2007
We ended up holding this weekend's Dungeons and Dragons session at my place this weekend - and it was definitely an utter blast. Andy, Draz, and James showed up somewhere around 03:30P to indulge in tasty grilled chicken goodness and begin setting up. We managed to cram everyone around my kitchen table and Babbles even stayed away!
After it started raining I ran around shutting windows and noticed someone outside... loe! It was Cole! Mike ended up having to work later, so he sent Cole along ahead in order to discover that my doorbell didn't work. Oh wells, he was soaked but quickly dried off. We gots to the gaming and ended up seeing Rip again stalking us first in a trash can and then in a stilted-Sneaky-King costume that created for some fun antics from Andy.
Around 07:00P Mike showed up and we began wanting for food. Emily happened to be in St. Cloud and stopped at the C of the Oborn's and picked up some tasty sausages which I grilled once she was home. All this done on the last batch of charcoal! Thank goodness I didn't run out...
We meandered about a bit doing this and that (discussing jeweled rats) before being summoned to the palace to meet with the king's chancellor. There was talk of our heroic deeds in stopping Gnomish expedition day until that palace's defensive crystal failed with many flailing rats having thrust their anti-magic crystal tails into the powering crystal. Some giant owl-battling later (and Mike saving my character's abysmally unlucky self from a grappling owl) and a giant Gnomish Airavan came plowing into the top level of the tower! Emblazened alongside it was none-other-than the insignia of Professor Burnsides, our gnomish bard's uncle who led us to the Laboratory fight in the first place!
Well, Leo was looking for some payback but was able to deliver. Gnomes came pouring out wearing explosive barrels ready to attack. Taruenn and I struggled out from under the Airavan and found that the gnomes were threatening our poor bard. After a little deliberation, Leo took out the gnomes and we all jumped to our impending death hoping that Mike's featherfall would save us. Luckily for us, it did. (Oh sure, Owyn had fancy magical doo-dads on him Mr. Fancy pants McFancyton)
We collected ourselves on the surface only to find a giant case fall near us. A familiar case it was. One that Taurenn recognized as having given him an eery glow and caused hair loss. The draconium box! Now outfitted with a timer we raced to disarm what was presumed to be a bomb.
11:52 left and we did it! The timer turned off and we started dusting ourselves off wondering where we'd go next. Suddenly there was a giant explosion and Draz informed us that we were all dead and saw a cat on a keyboard floating in space. Apperently, we had simply disabled the timer display... but no the bomb. Oops!
Anyway, great fun was had by all. I'm definitely looking forward to our next session. Yae for geeky fun!

You might want to check up on your RSS feed formatting/etc.
I had the old url (ath.cx:8081) in google reader and it wasn't getting much formatting, and seemed to be one entry behind.
The new url has better (somewhat, you're using p and br,br) formatting, but the little corner pic isnt getting shown (relative url). You should also take advantage of the different extensions that let you how how many comments, what things were tagged with, etc!

OnyxRaven; Heh. You actually brushed up against me updating the RSS components! Thanks for the pointers. This is my own little engine here, so they wouldn't extensions - they'd be "features". :)
Either way, how have you been man? Long time no see.

Torinn not Taurenn. He's not a WoW hoard race.

Soon Andy will realize that every posting brings a new mis-spelling...
Andy 2007/08/21
But it's not a new misspelling. You made this exact same mistake last time we played too.

er by extensions I mean 'rss 2.0 extensions' like the dublincore stuff: http://dublincore.org/ :-)

Ah, I see. Whoops! I've been tracking some stuff down and might implement it shortly. I'm sure that you've noticed some of the tweaking that I've done to the RSS feed.
