Letters from Pegasus, a Stargate Atlantis text review: Instinct

this one’s looking to be a bit adventure-ey.

The Teaser:

after last week’s adventure our heroes decide to rest and recuperate at the local tavern. just to get you up to speed ronan the party currently consists of: John the Human Ranger, Rodney the Halfling wizard

Rod69: hey!

fine. Rodney the Halfling scientist and teyla the half-elf bard. the party has recently lost it’s fighter to a mind altering lich curse and is on the look out for a new “muscle”.

SavageRonin: is this where i show up?

yes, as you make to open the tavern door you are approached by a goliath barbarian wearing long fur coat.

SavageRonin: actually it’s fleece

fine, fleece coat.

SavageRonin: i join with the party

RenegadeForLife: “we graciously accept your offer sir, we can offer you a quarter of all gold we make in the future in exchange for watching our backs out there”

SavageRonin: why are you telling me this

LonelyQueen: john is meerly acting out what his character would do in the situation, it’s quite fun when you get into it.

SavageRonin: if that is what pleases you, call me when you want something hit.

not a roleplayer? i’ll keep that in mind. ok as you walk into the bar everyone turns to look at you suspiciously

RenegadeForLife: why is no-one ever happy to see us, “what seems to be the problem barkeep?”

“we’re just not used to having travellers come in this late” he says. one of the elderly patrons buts in “if you know what’s good for you you’ll go back the way you came”.

RenegadeForLife: “hey, what’s your problem”

the barkeep is also perturbed, “they can’t go out now, the beast is out there”.

Rod69: a plot hook! “pray, what beast?”

the barkeep lowers his voice as if scared. “for the last week a strange pale man has stalked the forest, as he does every year, around our town, draining the life out of people”

RenegadeForLife: neat, a vampire hunting job. we take it.
