« Last post by Soul Reaver on September 23, 2026, 08:24:02 PM »Thought I'd update everyone on what's going on:
I'm currently overseas after a bunch of really intense stuff all happening at once (big round of redundancies at work; house hunting; finishing my book).
At this stage I'm thinking we should recruit some more members and try for Salt in the Wound Part 2, as nobody else seems to be burning to host.
However, I can't really get started on even planning this until I'm back in about 3 weeks time.
I'd appreciate any help in drumming up potential new recruits in the meantime!

I kinda feel like Phaerys and Gulgrim may have at least a little bit in common, surprisingly - namely that both are driven by a highly singular purpose. Phaerys pursues knowledge, Gulgrim's after a good scrap. Could be fun to explore that sometime, methinks.

« Last post by Kitharsis on September 09, 2026, 11:33:01 AM »I voted for Gulgrim.
His consistent Orkiness has been fun to experience. And he always toes the line between being out of hand and reigned in enough to keep story beats progressing.
I do want to note an honorable mention for Phaerys. The concept for the character is wonderfully odd, wonderfully executed, and fits in very well with the rest of us misfits!

I feel he's picked an interesting non-human character to play, and I like seeing the way his mind processes and approaches the situations he's faced with. His powerset is also unusual and original, which is a big plus, and I think he's adapted well as a new player to the Board Battles. I'm keen to see more of him!

A recruitment drive can't hurt to try, I suppose. Anywhere in mind you could ask around?

« Last post by Fallen Templar on September 05, 2026, 12:41:18 AM »Phaerys, down on one knee as he finished the repairs to his leg, arose to his feet. He flexed the limb experimentally, satisfied that the joints were in proper working order for whatever lay before them on the road ahead.
He watched as Soul Reaver and Kitharsis both said their farewells to Jharm and shook the Seraph by the hand. Phaerys then approached Jharm and extended his own hand in kind, seemingly unaware as to the significance of the gesture.
"We accept that your purpose decrees that you remain here. You will serve your collective efficiently," he stated, very matter-of-factly yet the suit's translator seemed to convey a hint of earnestness. "There remains a non-zero possibility that we may meet again. I will greatly anticipate this."

"I would not worry much Soul Reaver. Should the need arise once things are...settled here, feel free to reach out to me if needed and at least I can provide what help I am able."
He then turns towards Kitharsis and nods at those words before taking the offered hand in a tight handshake as well.
"Thank you Kitharsis, the same to you."
