Hey guys. After game last time Tom, Dave and I had a productive discussion about game pace, etc. Tom made the point that we should more explicitly plan what goals we want to play out in the forum. This would accomplish getting more done in play time, and I think it would give people a chance to advance their own personal goals. This also will help Matt prepare, so he doesn't have to spend as much time looking stuff up.
Personal goals: Baris wants to take some further steps in solving the mystery of the missing Arton of Wyant of Whyce. Sure, it's been eight months game time since he last worked on the quest, but the guy has been missing for ten years, another eight months won't kill him. I hope. And Baris has been busy lately, what with the war and all. I need to go back to the locksmith who made the key, and question his assistant, alone. Looking back over the notes the assistant might have known something. Regardless, my only clue is the key, and the locksmith made it. Either that or find the chest or padlock it opens, but I can't very well go around trying to open every chest in the kingdom.
Also, Baris wants to go see his new lands (which ties in nicely with the group goal below), and he definitely wants to have that Boar helmet made. Baris the Boar (or Baris the Boor as Meden pronounces it) is too good to pass up.
Group goals: We have to go look into that matter for the King.
