Saturn

This has all the makings of a great science fiction/horror story. Titan, one of Saturn's moons and the only moon in our system with an atmosphere, has tropical lakes on it.

In reading Sparta at War: Strategy, Tactics and Campaigns 550-362 BC I came across this interesting passage: "and Spartans devotion to Laconic speech - their peculiar form of eloquence, substituting pithy responses to lengthy discussions - produced . . . "

So not only did they kick the living hell out of everyone they fought, but they were smart asses while doing it?

So I watched Snow White this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the film. I though that the story needed a little boosting and with about 20-30 minutes more screen time for the main characters this could have been achieved. But the magic in the movie and the settings are absolutely phenomenal. The magic might be the best I've ever seen on the big screen. Just. Down. Right. Cool.

Okay, I grew up on Mr. Rogers. This is pretty cool.

I am off to see Snow White and The Huntsman shortly. This movie promises to be really, really cool.

We've been off kilter for about a week, wandering around the Beaches of southern Alabama; enjoying a little sun and surf. I forgot how much I enjoyed the surf. So to bring the Troll Den back to life I'm going to kick out some cosplay photos! Enjoy!

Is that Witchblade with the purse?

Weren't those shoulder pads popular in the 80s...I was in a haze for the better part of that decade, but I seem to remember giant shoulders.

Wow. Rescue me.

Finally! A cool vulcan!

What's up with all this dude's armor? I think men most not have the dexterity that women do, because women never seem to need all this armor...running around in bikinis and the like!

WTF? That gun is out of this world!

Greetings all. We have added a Bonus Reward to our Players Handbook Kickstarter Project! Help us bring this commemorative dice to the table!

THe taverr

The tavern in Alese is insufferably hot. Kai is inside, speaking to Trent and Anders, both garbed in thick black leather and wearing their swords. The tavern is cramped with just three men sitting around a table. The roof too low for much comfort. Though clausterphobic to Braelik, he enters the tavern carrying but his staff.

The Mist of Ahmanut swirl gingerly about Kai’s feet. There is a greater mist forming above his head. The boar’s head, Nifnut, the lord of war, the boar! Kai has yet to realize Nifnut is now guiding his strong arm and making him the warrior he is. He shall, perhaps soon, come to realize this.

The words of Kai make it clear that Nifnut has carried the day. “Strengthen the walls and bring all the men into the monestary. We carry the fight to uruk on the morrow and a you should expect reprisal.”

“We do not have enough men to hold the monestary,” Anders began saying.

“Have no fear Anders. Have faith in the Old Ones and they will protect you.” Braelik intoned and he walked to the table.

Trent looked up, skeptical, “I prefer a sharp sword and many men for protection.”

Braelik glanced down at Trent. The dragonfly whirled around him. Teestimik, the Lost One, the one who fears what the future holds. There is little Braelik can do to reassure him, so he does not bother.

“When do we leave Kai?”

“Before the sun rises, we cross the river and go down stream. I intend to cross and come back by tomorrow evening, and then we leave again on the following day. We repeat this until we are dead or there is nothing left of the uruk.”

“The gods will.” Bralik turned and left, heading back to the monestary.
