Hey guys, Fated is on siesta until Tuesday because I'm out of town. Just have him do the least sensible thing while we're gone.

I know! After Carcosa I will never be able to go back to the old way of making up "authentic" high-fantasy names for NPC's. Never again will my players wonder, "Wait, which one is Alalbacadefra again? The druid?" "No, she was the ranger you met back in Ubulalafro; the druid's name is Afrebalkadama." "oh, right!" or "Your name is Papagena? What a coincidence!" (Mozart fans will get it)

Probably not deep ones, right? They wouldn't need a submersible vehicle. Capt'n Nemo?

Yeah, I was thinking some kind of half-crazed green man a la Nemo.

Aye, but I'm well aware of this tactic of yours, Migellito. *squinted eyes* Not so much fun, though, when you're the dwarf on the plank and there's a bunch of kobolds on the other end!
