Fourier

Just to be clear the two routes I mentioned are those with pre-made somewhat paved roads. Of course one could reach Dunport by just directly hiking through the mountains.

There's a road that connects back to Clayton from Sanderjarn (it's the one that you would have taken without Citra, it's the Sanderjarn-Soetrard trade route) and then goes from Clayton skirting the edge of the Blight mountains into the Shire (it's how the Shire connects with Soetrard trade).

Under the old map it was a simple road south, but my simulations of your trip along it revealed that the road was a little uninteresting, so that's why I've made it skirt the Blight slopes for a long period.

oh, its connected to the sea, so maybe a fyord.

Fyord with magical effects from the Wrecklands spilling over into it.

In fairness, have we been to a single town, village, wide spot in the road or hole in the ground where everyone wasn't either already methhead-level crazy or driven to it by a sudden and unexpected explosive arrow to the knee?

Edit : If we're going over the mountain, might want Flak to practice that "resist fire" spell a few more times first...

Love the Skyrim reference You forgot obsessed with an evil dark lord (Tumuz in Thurmunton)

Whats the sky blue, it could be an inland lake that is frozen over, we could go straight across it.

Probably just a normal lake. Could buy canoes :P

Yeah, that's what I had in my head with you mentioning passes. As opposed to hiking through the mountains

sKeith

Oh yeah, we're going to clayton when there we can decide on west or south.

Nobody makes it out of town alive or undead at this rate. Keep up the good work!

Mollyb60

Yup! We're just pissing off EVERYONE!

Smart arse fancy pants guard, I'll be leaving with his head mounted on my horse

Fourier

Again I'm off, don't worry things will ramp up on the road and especially in the first major destination.

Another night of wondering whether or not I'm dead... you have to stop leaving me hanging like this. That I keep landing myself in these situations is by the by.

Hello darkness my old friend
I just came a dwarf's rear end

I presume once Fourier gets back we're nearly ready to blow this joint.

Assuming Othegre Ekbard and Goodie survive the vampire hating dwarf that is

Banjo

I only have to kill him 998 more times, before he'll start taking me seriously. I can do this!

I was hoping to visit an undertaker but I doubt the Dwarves have much use for a covered hearse carriage that I can buy. At least I can get a coffin. Other than that I think I'm good to go, although I take it we need to bring our cash with us, since we're not going to be coming back this way and they don't have digital transfers?

Hey, given that Soetrard is on a penninsula and has an extensive dragon-powered train network, and probably trade links with the major population centre we're currently in, can't we just catch a tray to Clayton and change for the Shire?

Necro

Actually that's a good point re: money.

Fourier if we bank money in Dwarrowtown can we access it anywhere else?

OldGoat

If we can gather some more coin/items/information from the Osiners and then assume that I sent a runner to buy my kit from a quartermaster of the camp and that we all get a nice sleep then yep, good to go.

sKeith

Can dwarfs freely use warhammers now? kuhurti is about to use one and it seems to be kidunli's favourite weapon too.

Banjo

Presumably they can make Dwarf-sized WarHammers that are bigger than regular hammers but not big enough to be prohibitively long? I mean they can make functioning arms and legs.

send a runner. Pshaw! Do it by flash back! "Hey, remember that time we all went to the merchants in Dwarrowtown?.....<ripple transition>"

OldGoat

I might have to flash back to that time I paid a visit to an apothecary/alchemist for a potion or two.

We probably have to backtrack to Clayton to take the pass to the Shire so that might be a better bet than the primarily magic hating dwarves

sKeith

We might need to go back to askit place to destroy of the baby devils before they grow up.

Banjo

What, back in Soetrard? Isn't there an army of the dead between us and them?

sKeith

didn't the army stop and head a different direction.

Necro

We don't know

sKeith

Well, we can be letting some hypothetical undead army dictate our play, if we see if ahead of us, we can skedaddle in opposite direction.

It's a long way to travel by boat going from Soetrard though....

Do you get seasick?

Doesn't matter as long as one scene starts, they sail off leaving soetard behind, and the next scene says, and they arrive into the port of put destination here.

Banjo

Trains, guys. ****ing dragon-powered trains! The initial post said they have 90 steam powered trains, that's too many for a domestic service, they have to have gone intercity!

Either way, we have to survive whatever Purge \ Wicker Man \ Trolls 2 loopiness Clayton has in store first!

BTW I have to prepare my house for some work getting done tomorrow, so I may be a little all over the place tonight.

Edit :
sKeith, you know the next scene will begin with "The port of X is in sight!
Suddenly a giant jelly / squid / 40 foot tall gecko / angry dwarf with 997 lives left climbs over the rail

OldGoat

If memory serves Bandy has a skills bonus for swimming. That should be interesting to see with all that metalwork.

I don't want to spoil anything.
