Soup's on, but who's cooking it?

[greatcleavage]

[After a productive day out in the fields earning money, Roy heads back down the streets of Mac Anu, his arms laden with sacks and piled high with -- groceries. Did he really expect to eat them all by himself? Of course not -- he had guild members to feed!]

[But the fighter Edge Punisher had a faint frown on his face as he made his way carefully to the @Home...]

I hope someone can figure out some way to cook all of this...

For starters, the lich that my inherited Oath of Vengeance requires me to slay isn't here. Which is enough, but not all of it.

[glassworkgenius]

It's like you didn't get to finish your last story before starting a new one, huh? [ That does sound frustrating. ]

[greatcleavage]

Yeah, exactly. I know most campaigns never reach a close, but I somehow always assumed we would.

Assuming the cartoonist didn't drop dead of his mysterious unexplained illness three strips before the conclusion.

[glassworkgenius]

The World could still be a really long detour.

[ But now Taiyou looks up and blinks once. ]

Though that would cut your story here; if there is one.

[greatcleavage]

So far, not a hint. I met some people, I made a guild. It's not exactly "novelization by Ed Greenwood" material.

[glassworkgenius]

Yeah, I haven't heard of any villain to fight or princess to rescue.

[greatcleavage]

Though, on the other hand, it's a good thing that there are no villains or damsels in distress. I mean, it's better to have general peace and prosperity, right?

[glassworkgenius]

Agreed!

[greatcleavage]

It DOES raise the question of what, exactly, we're doing, though.

[glassworkgenius]

Could be the calm before the storm...

[greatcleavage]

That's what I'm wondering. And that's why I think we should all be taking this time to train, gain strength, build our levels up, and be prepared.

[glassworkgenius]

We'll be ready for it! Whatever "it" is.

[greatcleavage]

I hope so. There isn't a great deal of PC cohesion here, and without a solidifying quest for a group...

[He sighs, then shakes his head.]

But I hope I'm just worrying too much. Still, I'd rather be overprepared than under.
