O_O What the hell? That seriously happened?

@Guardian Angel Haruki

@rush99999

....Dammit, WOTC. -_-

EDIT: Now that I think about, I can't help but remember how my History teacher taught my class about how L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz was an allegory for that time period. Each character and aspect represented something,

...The Flying Monkeys were the Pinkertons.

[Fading Memory]

The Pinkertons are a curious stain of US history that has greatly benefited from a lack of publicity. Detectives, gunslingers, union busters, and now functionally a mercenary company.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

What did the other characters represent?

[Dark Cloud]

What WotC did was pretty scummy but still the guy definitely was breaking the law being in possession of something nobody was supposed to have yet.

I still hate WotC, they made the poor guys wife cry.

[Lurking Krog]

I thought the guy had legally purchased the packs/cards. Kinda hard to break the law of they were legally purchased.

Edit: forgot that WotC has the disclosure embargo stuff, so that was a breech there.

@Fading Memory

I honestly thought they weren't around any more, considering that the only other time I heard about them was from History Books in U.S. History. I was wrong...^^"

@rush99999

From what I remember...

Dorothy/Scarecrow: Farmers
Tin Man: Factory Workers
Cowardly Lion: President of the United States
Wicked Witch of the West: Railroad Companies
Water: The Farmers' Power
Silver Slippers and the Yellow Brick Road: The Silver and Gold Economic Standard.

That's all I remember unfortunately. This was from High School.

@Lurking Krog

This was something that could've been solved with a letter from a lawyer or something, NOT with Pinkertons! Jeez!

[Lurking Krog]

@Guardian Angel Haruki I do agree with the matter that the Pinkertons should not have been brought in. The means in which this was handled is why I am personally contemplating not purchasing any more WotC material for a while.

[rush99999]

[Fading Memory]

p-purchasing WOTC content, oh lawd.

@rush99999@Lurking Krog@Dark Cloud@XxFellsingxX

I'm going to wait a bit longer and let you guys post amongst yourselves before I post another DM post.

For the sake of Brevity on an update from me: I will say that 6 seconds have passed for Tasha's Hideous Laughter. For now, the Lornling can't do or say anything but laugh while under this spell.

EDIT: I forgot that the Lornling can roll to save again after each turn.
After 6 seconds it rolled a 11, so it's still laughing.

[XxFellsingxX]

Waiting for either Rush or Krog to respond before I have Jub do anything else. He's just hoping that Brut doesn't squish the Lornling.

[Lurking Krog]

Gonna try to get a post up tonight, tomorrow night the latest hopefully.

[XxFellsingxX]

Jub really wants the party to understand he did not condone this xD

Jub: Don't worry, I'm Brut's impulse control.
Aurora: You've never stopped him from doing anything!
Jub: Hey I never said I was good at it.

@Guardian Angel Haruki @Fading Memory @Dark Cloud @Lurking Krog

Everyone, if I could have your attention for a moment. There is something I'd like to say.

A while back, I came into possession of £10. For a time, I didn't know what to do with it. Then I remembered that I was using generic bugbear art for Brutrumukk's picture and that @XxFellsingxX was a talented artist who drew their own artwork for Jub. So I decided it wouldn't hurt to see if they'd be partial to getting paid to draw a picture of Brut for me.

Fellsing agreed to draw the picture, but insisted on doing it for free.

This is what they came back with. Then, after generously offering to change a few things about it for me, they produced this absolute masterpiece that I am thrilled to have as character art for Brut.

Thanks again for doing this, Fellsing. You're the best!

[Fading Memory]

Absolutely stunning.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

*Applauds!*

Spectacular! XD

On another note: I have a question for you @rush99999.
When Brutrumukk tied the Lornling, is he including the Lornling's arms & legs? Or is it just wrapped around the Lornling's torso?

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Brutrumukk only intends to bind her sides, but will also bind other things that get in the way. If the arms were near the torso at the time, they'd be tied up as well. The legs would be left alone.

Also, if he doesn't need all 30 feet of the rope to tie up Mini Bav 3, Brut will hold onto the remainder like an unintentional makeshift leash.

OK. Just wanted to make sure. ^_^
Thank you.
