Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: Despite all of the raving technical madness of the evening, Draven was well done and excellently RP‘d. Welcome aboard. I promise it DOES get better than what you saw last night.

Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: I enjoyed playing with Balix. His attempt to see what was below the floating city by dropping a rock added a nice touch of wonder to the mystery of Hythum.
06/17/05
solid character, good to play with.
06/11/05
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: Great fun to play with Balix this evening. I enjoyed his exploration of what happened to the caravan and thought the small details of his role play really evoked his dwarven personality. I look forward to playing in future games.

Nice job with Draven this week. Im finally starting to get a feel for this character‘s motivations. He just FELT more real this week. Keep up the good work.
09/11/04
I had a good time playing with Balix, and think he added a lot to the party. Hope to see more of him in the future!
09/11/04
Balix was a valuable assest to the party, he did well to approach and fit into the party. I look forward to seeing more of Balix in action.

Great job playing this type of character. Keep it up. I really loved how you played a bit of a skulking coward in the pub. It also isnt easy to deal with the amount of hostility your character dealt with, but I think you pulled it off. Just try to stay consistant and you will continue to provide an entertaining character.

Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: Well, whew! Things are getting heated! Regardless, it‘s still turning out well, even though some player‘s are getting frustrated! I must of course apologize for you guys getting frustrated, but that was not the intent, nor was it to make things so difficult...for any one. We‘re running the adventure based on what the party does...and we did not intend for any one to feel forced down any path. Nor did we want you to feel forced to use any particular members connection, or what have you. A few spoilers/bits of advice; 1. Ask around! Not a single person stopped a passer-by for any information what-so-ever! Maybe some one might have seen some of the villagers? Not only important people have information. Calad is full of people selling things, including information. 2.Try to make some friends! Sure they might be thieves, or worse...but friends in a place like Calad is a good thing...not a bad one...and they might be able to get you ‘in‘ somewhere Papal writs and other ‘official‘ means might not. 3. Gangs rule the streets. Making one or more of them hate you might be a bad idea...perhaps some of the gamg members might have seen the villagers? Sure they might be scum to you...but information is neither good, nor evil... Now, I don‘t mean to say you have to be evil, or non-lawful. But there -is- a system which operates in Calad. I think this session was so frustrating is because every one only wanted to work within their ‘system‘ of getting things done, and not the one used in the Town of Calad. I may sound like I‘m trying to make the party a bunch of scoundrels...but that‘s not the case! Keep your options open, and things should go swimmingly. And realize that sometimes ‘official‘ means are the most tedious, and cumbersome. Escpecially in a place like Calad, which is -why- it‘s so lawless.... -Ghool
08/19/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: I personally was impressed with the way you play the evil in ya. You seem to have a diplomatic bone in ya and know when to use that bone. Excellent job. Hince my choice for BIG! DM K

Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: (Add Comments Here)Jack!! It‘s so wonderful to see you again! I‘ve so missed playing with you *big huge hug*. I think this fellow and your rp of him is splendid, I think I get the sense of a slightly shady, fellow who has self preservation up most on his mind..:), not evil at all, but not goody goody, and he and the baron are in for some fun times together hee...of course the baron knew you were right about the beggar..and of course he knew you were right about..going into dark allyways.... but.. you see we‘ve been through so much, with the baron having to face so many things are not myth..he‘s become more than a little unhinged, though that‘s not readily apparent..and having already preformed many “unsavory“ sorts of acts for Nimarron, and rather hoping for and looking for a fight..he went with the beggar *grins he‘s not unaquainted with the seamier side of things, though Draven does know more...pay no attention.. I love this fellow.. he‘s great..and I‘m happy you can be with us! LRP
08/13/04
Draven Blackthorn a Human: As a player, welcome to the group Jack, you did a wonderful job! As far as the character goes, I do not really see how he will ‘fit in‘ but time will tell ;) He certainly was well done though!
08/13/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: Draven seems to have got himself into some serious trouble this time... As if the bounty on his head isn‘t bad enough, the mad priest is certainly making life difficult. Sadly, he seems incapable of keeping his secrets... Perhaps telling all the other passengers of your drug smuggling habits wasn‘t the best way to make a good first impression. It was rather amusing to watch Draven step back from combat on the ship gaining an immense tactical advantage, whilst the other more ‘heroic‘ characters got hammered by the zombies. Similarly, he saw that ambush in the alley a mile off... But the party didn‘t listen to him. It seems odd that the only evil character is by far the most sane. You blended into the party really well, providing a much-needed counterpoint to the goody-goody Sarah and Love. Welcome to the group. ^.^ -Decider
08/12/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: An awesome addition to the team you have become in a single session. Bravo! Great job on providing a good group dynamic, and being a thorough scoundrel! Looking forward to next week. BIG. -Ghool
07/29/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: Great job of fleshing out the below-board nature of Draven. I totally believe he‘s a shadow-slinking cut-throat.
07/28/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: (Add Comments Here) Excellent RP - glad Draven has a good head on his shoulders!
07/22/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: What, no dwarf?? :-D I enjoyed the fact that you have a backstory to be used. It should make for some interesting side play. Looking forward to more.
07/21/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: (Add Comments Here) Draven seems to be a solid character, it appears that the group is looking toward him as a leader (although he doesn‘t seem terribly impressed by the attention he‘s garnering). Seems to be getting stuff done towards our future goals which I think we will all be grateful for soon!
07/17/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: (Add Comments Here) An evil mage was an interesting choice for this module. Eventhough, you RPed well on the boards and in the module, I don‘t think this character would have associated with this group. Too much good around for you. Your arrogance was almost enought to push most of the other characters over the edge (on board of course). That was a nice touch. You were late to the game, but once there, got your stuff together quickly. All in all, a good player and a good character.

Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: (Add Comments Here) Well, it‘s hard to throw what seemed to be a “chaotic character“ into a one shot and have him fit right, but not to bad. He obviously had his own motive for the adventure. Good job and hope to play soon again.
07/16/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: (Add Comments Here) Dude, we would never have completed the module without the seriousness of your character. He kept things on track. He reminded me maybe abit too much of a certain wizard from a few Weis/Hickman novels. Though, I must say you did a great job RPing him.

[Jack's reply to comment: I must say that I never played Wizard before and I did take some things from those novels but tried to keep it my own character. Thanks

07/16/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a Human: (Add Comments Here) Draven is a mage. Possibly neutral, but he dropped some hints that he might stray on the slightly darker side of the fence. His manner was... abrasive. From calling party members fools to ignoring those whom he didn‘t agree with, he came across as aloof, egotistical, sarcastic, and quite possibly a future threat to “good“ greater than that which we killed. Surprisingly, the characterization worked well with the party. Most of the characters got along well, but the friction caused by this character made things interesting. It wasn‘t bad enough to actually destroy party unity, and it added spice to the evening. I applaud his RP skills for knowing how to take it just far enough and no further. Nicely done. I can still see him, standing in a corner plotting how he can steal the knowledge possessed by this necromancer and increase his own power. Then yelling at the stupid half-orc for being, well, a stupid half-orc... and almost getting pounded as a consequence. Very well done.
07/09/04
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here)Having played with Balix before with my scurrilous bard, seeing him in action this time as a DM, cracking the whip on the young-un‘s in the group was great! I always thought Balix was one of the most believable dwarfs out there, and that thought still holds true.
07/08/04
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here) Excellent role-playng. I very much enjoyed having this character along. (Unfortunately, due to storms in the player‘s area, we lost the character before the game was finished... but that‘s not the player‘s fault.) This character played well with others, despite his somewhat gruff exterior - very fitting!
07/08/04
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here) What a crotchety dwarf. I loved it. He was stern and condesending yet not annoying enought to get on my nerves. The little man with the big axe was a pleasure to have in the group.
07/08/04
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here) Great game. Really wish you could have made it to the end -- it was very tough without you. “Telling me to ‘hush lad‘ and ‘keep back‘....pah! Still, not a bad chap for a dwarf.“ -Keldares Iremond
06/16/04
Comments in reference to the character Vitus Stonehammer a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here)Vitus is definitely an unusual dwarf. Each game he shows himself to be patient and thoughtful, characteristics not commonly ascribed to dwarven fighters. This session, however, his dwarvishness did surface somewhat, as his impatience outside the Svirfneblin gates almost lost him presence before the Blingdenstone mayor. His anger at Rysto (or perhaps it was general prejudice towards spellcasters?) was also evidenced, although at least in once instance it was deserved (when Rysto tired of Vitus‘s careful examination of the chest.) However, despite the difficulties, Vitus was still loyal to his compatriots and stood strong to defend others in the face of a threat. A hardy dwarf like this one would do well to have by his side!

Comments in reference to the character Vitus Stonehammer a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here)Vitus had some great moments in the game tonight. Constantly reacting to his environment and circumstances, the dwarf continued to be one of the most believable PC‘s I‘ve played with. Always testing the situation instead of rushing blindly into battle like most fighters (and dwarves) do, Vitus showed great wisdom and battle-hardiness. The only times the dwarf was less than a hardened warrior were when he panicked around the kuo-toan inquisitors. His fear of water was again very well role-played, and it never seemed to be done as a gimmick. I was especially impressed that he took off his armor and braved the spawning pools in a tunic. True role-players make game-play sacrifices like that, and although he died a few times for it, it made the game even more immersive. One of the funniest moments of the game was after a massive battle against a kuo-toan army. Poor Vitus had to start searching through every body to find his warhammer, which was once again stuck to the adhesive coating on the skin of a kuo-toa. Great game!
06/02/04
This review is for Vitus Stonehammer: A nice start to your character, Jack. Both you and I seem to be a tad on the quiet side, but I think eventually we both found ways to interact with each other. I like how you threw in your hydrophobia and your dislike/hate feelings about boats. It will definitely be interesting once Rysto re-joins our group. No offense to the character that left since he was great, too, but it‘s nice to work with a fighter who has commmon sense. ;)
06/01/04
Comments in reference to the character Placeholder a TBD: (Add Comments Here) Vitus the dwarf was a great addition to the party, and his personality and antics brought him to life quickly. The dwarf‘s fear of water was very well acted out, and little comments and actions throughout the session added to his character a great deal. When having to wade into a room with about a foot of standing water, Vitus quickly made his way to a boulder to climb up on. Constantly testing the depth of the water with his maul, Vitus proceeded with great caution whenever water was involved, and so far, his caution has had merit, as crystal oozes have often emerged from the Underdark waterways. The interaction with Nadae was superb, and little touches like the reaction to the Otyugh‘s disease, poison from the violet fungus, and other incidents were very believable. Constantly role-playing through each and every situation, Vitus brought this game to a level that felt just like PnP D&D. A superb player, and a welcome addition to the team!

Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn, a human: It‘s been great fun having you along as Draven, since it has resulted in some fantastic roleplay and great tension in the group. Unfortunately, I think that Friday‘s outcome was inevitable, given the characters, but I think you played your role very well. Thanks for the great game and I hope we see you again as a new character.
05/22/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a human: (Add Comments Here) Draven has been an excellent character. It’s a shame that the party has come to break up but it was going to happen due to the differences in the group. Draven was a true bounty hunter, after money and not caring who he upset. This could have been something that made Bullin like Draven (he is a greedy dwarf) but Draven and Quans disrespect for Kleglag and Anarys was always going to make Bullin hate them and as happened come to blows with them. I really hope you carry on playing with the group, you are a great roleplayer. The tension your’s and Quan’s characters brought to the group was very fun to play with and I hope you find a new character that can fit in with the group but have no less roleplay impact. Looking forward to next time

Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: Balix is a rock of Dwarven power in a fight. He continue to bring honor to the name Oakenshield, having now agreed to explore the interesting goings on below the deep gnome refuge. Very well played; gruff, sincere, and stalwart. The epitome of adventuring fighter dwarf.

Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a human: This session was great--it went really fast! Great job scouting and I liked how Draven handled suddenly finding himself as a mediator of sorts when Anarys and Kleglag were faced with different paths. Looking forward to next week.
04/01/04
Balix always knowledgable in his fields and a good support to the team. Nicely done.
04/01/04
Balix brought badly needed native underground experience to the party. The taciturn dwarf was very well played, and enjoyable to interact with.
04/01/04
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: Balix was solid. Tried to RP as much as possible, and did a good job trying to stay in character as well. The only complaint I have is that he should have been one of our solid, front-liners but ended up being an archer.

[Jack's reply to comment: Good point on not rushing up to the front of the line. We just got our butts kicked by Umber Hulks and I was trying to get tactics by using ranged weapons and also trying to confuse the Hulk with screams . But I understand I was upfront most of the time. :)

03/29/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a human: Jack, what can i say, another great game . . BIG as a matter of fact. I was really paying attention and really picked up on all of the little things you did, like shielding your face from the guards as you walked by. I feel that we are playing neutral bounty hunters very well and are starting to fit into the group better.
03/27/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a human: You roleplay Draven very well and the tention and differences between you can Quan and the rest of the party is played out very well. I am looking forward to learning more about your char and to see how the whole situation turns out. -Avatar8
03/27/04
Comments in reference to the character Draven Blackthorn a human: (Add Comments Here) Some brilliant RP from you. A true sense of tension all through this session. Your character‘s patience was tested, and the way you dealt with that IC has earned you my BIG for this session. Great game! SP
03/26/04
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here)I did not interact much with Balix; Balix did help to mediate our entrance to the Deep Gnome city. I look forward to this character being more fully fleshed out.
03/25/04
A good character staying true to his goals and background. Hope to see such next session too.

Comments in reference to the character Reghar Fireforge a Dwarf: A very well played dwarf!! The fear of heights was well played also! A great character to have around!! BRAVO!!!
03/23/04
Comments in reference to the character Reghar Fireforge a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here)Well done dwarf! Fear of heights to being grumpy, Reghar was very believable and enjoyable! Look forward to seeing him again!
03/22/04
Comments in reference to the character Reghar Fireforge a Dwarf: IT‘s not easy being a dwarf afraid of heights in a game that starts out over a windswept dangerous bridge. Even though he had to be talked into doing the good thing that might or might not bring treasure, he is obviously starting to trust his companions more. Well played.
03/22/04
Comments in reference to the character TBD a human: (Add Comments Here) A great session, with some great role-play. There‘s a definite divide in the group so far, which provided great tension throughout the session. Great stuff SP

Comments in reference to the character Reghar Fireforge a Dwarf: Hey Jack! (lol, I just wanted to say that ;) great game though, great indeed. I love the ‘afraid of heights‘ spin. This is certainly the perfect mod for it! One high spot after another, there are just endless opportunities for you. Keep up the fun, see you next week!

Comments in reference to the character Reghar Fireforge a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here)Everytime you got blown off the cliffs I kept having this vision of this little dwarf flying through the air. Great RPing. It‘s been awhile since I have had the pleasure of played with you.

Comments in reference to the character Draven a human: JACK, good game. I think we can really mak this work well and there are some good RP people here to interact with.

[Jack's reply to comment: Yup but dont forget Balix is a business man too.So he is use to talking in deals and such.

Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: From trying to communicate with duergar to attempting to trick the beholder, Balix combines brains with brawn, cleverly seeking to avoid combat whenever he can. Definitely not the typical grumpy drunken dwarf. --Rofelli--

Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a gold dwarf: One has to wonder just how much gold the halfling will bilk from his dwarven friend ;). One also has to wonder how long it will take before the dwarf locks him an a barrel :). Excellent game, Balix is a great ally!

Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a gold dwarf: I feel a new role coming up for Balix. He might become the peacekeeper of the group.

Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: (Add Comments Here) Since you wasn‘t there the entire game, it was hard to get a feel for your personality.

Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: Great game Balix. You transitioned in smoothly even though you missed a session. Of course your combat expertise was invaluable, but what really stood out was how Balix thought around problems rather than through them.
11/30/03
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a Dwarf: Great addition to the party. First session in the campaign and already so important :) If it wasn‘t for your great maul the dust monsters wouldn‘t be defeatable by the party. Also did you play a big role in the solving of the water quest - really in line with your merchant background. I give you the BIG for this session. - Play Mate
11/29/03
Comments in reference to the character Balix Oakenshield a gold dwarf: A tiny bit on the quiet side, but you can see that his mind was working away, understanding what people *mean* (not just what they say), and willing to move with the times. Never thought of a dwarf as adaptable before, but if I had to picture it, Balix is exactly who I would see. Nice job. --Rofelli--
