It's just ... Damn! I really miss him!

Well - we are on Castle Never here, meeting the Crossroad Keep's Knight Captain of a few hours' standing, my bard Torias from the PC Game "Neverwinter Nights 2". I wonder, if he has an idea of what's going to happen soon ...

The single player mission in the castle's vaults was really hard for my halfling. But he finally made it - with a help of a good old, snarling friend ...





Castle Never and Neverwinter Nights are owned by BioWare/Atari/Wizards of the Coast/Obsidian/Hazbro (did I forget someone?)

Looking sharp, Torias !!!

It's been a while since I last saw this guy   Judging by his expression, he doesn't know what's going on, but understands that it's supposed to be a happy moment...at least until the Shadow Reaver, vampires, and shadow priests crash the party...

This was indeed a tough single player mission...especially when you get ambushed at the hidden door...

Yeah - I'm still working on a scene about tis fight. Erm ... at least from time to time. But I'm still waiting for the "kiss of the muse" to give it the final touch.
Actually there is a lot of wip-stuff still waiting for a lot of kisses ...

  Kiss of the muse - I like that   Didn't Torias in Shadows of Undrentide ask the (female) PC for a kiss once?

Actually "kiss of the muse" is a commom German expression, describing a sudden inspiration.
Well, ... uh ... erm yes. But I have to admit, I can't recall my PCs reaction to his request. Maybe Kesh was amused over the little one's self-confidence.

Ah, I see - I really like the sound of that expression   Thanks for telling me


I remember my PC (Aurea), was amused, but she said no to Torias' request

Thanks a lot!
Somehow I believe, he desperately wants to be somewhere else. I can almost hear him grumble:

Oghma, this party is as dry as dust! Tittle tattle instead of tales ... no T'Keela, no pretty lasses but sour wine and old frumps.
And hey! - No jokes about this ridiculous large sword. The first and only thing I'm going to do with it, once I'm back home, is to put this into one of Sal's cupboards!

!!! That certainly sounds like Torias

Well, at least he'll have some action in - like - ten seconds?

No more than five I think.

Hmmm ... do you want to see him having some "fun" with that vampire queen down in the basement?

Started to work on it last night. It's tricky ... I mean - I've never seen a halfling swinging a longsword ...

Thalia-Dawnbringer In reply to shoughad [2012-09-30 17:44:25 +0000 UTC]

Lol, neither have I

But if you scale it to pictures of an average person swinging a claymore, maybe that could help.

It's more the question of physics and balance that is bothering me. You know, I'm practicing sword Tai Chi myself. And I'm so used to the shape and weight of my own sword, that using another one makes me tumble like ... like a dead drunk dwarf.
And Torias never ever used a longsword ... I think he'd really be better off fighting bare-handed.

Thalia-Dawnbringer In reply to shoughad [2012-09-30 18:10:18 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I understand The only sword I've held is a shinai - which I bought when I practiced Kendo during my first two years of college.... Actually it's almost the same length as a claymore (for me)...

Isn't this weird somehow? We're two nice girls and instead of sharing cooking recipes or patterns for knitting we're talking about our ... swords!
By the way - have I ever told you that a man taught me how to knit?

Thalia-Dawnbringer In reply to shoughad [2012-09-30 18:25:41 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I don't think it's weird at all It just shows that we share a lot in common And no, you never told me a man taught you how to knit! That's cute

My favorite part has been the trial, where Torias was talking even good old Sand's pointed ears off.
Hey - but you're right. He indeed is a heart throb - at least as far as I'm concerned.
I think I'm going to render this one in (halfling)life-size, to frame it and to hang it on my bedroom wall ...

Telling from this smirk, he probably had no idea. Or, knowing Torias, he probably knew and decided in that very moment that he would make the most fun out of it.

Och - abends dann eigentlich nur noch Essen, Trinken, Schlau-aus-der-Wäsche-schauen und einen Mix aus Fachgesprächen und Smalltalk führen. Meinen großen Auftritt hatte ich schon am Nachmittag, als ich mich per Skype-Videanruf aus dem Büro online in die laufenden Konferenz eingeklinkt habe, damit mein Kollege dort den Kunden demonstrieren kann, wie man "bösen" Mitarbeitern, die im firmeneigenen Netzwerk auf ihren privaten Rechnern potentiell gefährliche Programme starten, auch remote auf die Finger klopfen und die Anwendung unter dem virtuellen Hintern wegziehen kann.
