Year 487 Summer Campaign

[GM Craig]

I'm not sure... am I waiting for you guys, or are you waiting for me?

[Valka]

I'm patiently waiting on Rodric and Artaigne to reply but I can go again later today.

Was Darren the only one amused?

[Arne]

I'm sure all the playas got a kick out of that.   

Their characters might be a different story.  Gasp!  Sex talk?  Harumph, harumph, harumph!   

[Valka]

Haroo haroo haroo!

[Valka]

Also, "original horses of the vikings":

[Arne]

Awwww . . .

Arne should've named his own horse Pinkie Pie.

[Arne]

Regarding speaking Latin . . . I don't actually have it on my CS, but I remember an earlier discussion when Michelle and I were creating our characters:

In Ostland, the kingdom had a brisk trade with other lands, including Britain. Your characters would have encounter the British tongue (Cymric to be exact) as part of your family business. You would also know some Latin, from your trading with the Romans before the fall of the Empire. ( see http://pendragon.altarka.org/smf/index.php?topic=63.msg965#msg965)

Was there an actual skill that we had to put points into, then?

[GM Craig]

No, I gave it to you guys as flavour for your trader backgrounds.

[Cedwyn]

And us poor unedumacated beknighted knights don't know it right?

[Arne]

Considering the fun you had spelling "uneducated", perhaps so . . . 

[Arne]

Heeee . . . ah, that was fun to break that steward's smugness, if even for a few moments.   

[Artaigne]

So not really sure what to do here...don't want to assume I just joined the group based on a chance meeting, so if Corey or Ken could let me know their thoughts on my character's status with the group, I would be appreciative.

[Arne]

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure what to do there.  Technically, Arne's a Logres merc, so I assumed that the knights would have the say-so on Artaigne's status.

[Artaigne]

Loved that insult so much had to make it my signature. 

[Arne]

Ooooo . . . a plethora of extremely cutting and vile Latin counter-insults are bubbling around in Arne's noggin right now.     But he'll bite his tongue.  Hard.

So . . . just outa curiosity, how much would regular lodging for one person cost in this town full of upturned Roman noses?  I was originally thinking of us taking Artaigne on as our aide-de-camp, but the credentials thing sort of chucked that out of the water.
