Cool. Thanks. I missed that post. Brian R.

Maybe there is a huge chasm in the sea around the LL> A few months ago I wrote and posted these items as Rules Clarifications: -------------------------------------- HollowTrees (Clarification) The Passage Lakes lie in three valleys (vales) in the North of the Liberated Land and each vale contains numerous lakes. Each lake has connections to numerous HollowTrees in the Dragon Lands. A HollowTree will look no different than any other tree until it is used by the OverLord to transport LightRaiders in or out of the Dragon Lands. The tree could be a sapling, or a secqoia, or any size in between. It will grow to a sufficent girth to allow passage of LightRaiders, horses, and animal companions. A crack will appear in its side, and an opening will grow. From the outside of the tree, a glow of light begins as the LightRaiders step through. From the inside, LightRaiders can see the Dragon Lands they just left, but not the Passage Lake they just left or are heading to. After use, the HollowTree will revert to its previous appearance, and continue normal growth. If the LightRaiders become lost, or must leave the Dragon Lands through a HollowTree other than the one they arrived in, the OverLord may or may not return them to the Passage Lake they used originally. If a HollowTree is destroyed or cut down, another tree may be used by the OLMN to become a HollowTree. -------------------------------------------------- The Mist Barrier (Clarification) A ship full of LightRaiders may sail along the Mist Barrier until a Mist Portal is found. They can then enter, and be transported through to the other side to whatever point the OLMN wishes. So, if the ship enters the Barrier on the eastern side near Mandel Bay, the ship could exit the it near the Heineous Heights on the western side of the Liberated Land. The return trip would work in the same manner. If a ship of OnceBorn and/or Dark Creatures enters the Mist Barrier, (they will not find a Mist Portal) the ship will be turned around and may exit at the entry point, some other point on the same side, or not at all, at will of the OverLord. The ship may be turned around and exit the Barrier minus certain beings, or missing the entire crew. Any dragons entering the Mist Barrier will quickly die, their fires quenched by the Mist. If a LightRaider under an enchantment is aboard a ship trying to use a Mist Portal, the ship will be turned and not allowed to pass through until the enchantment is broken. --------------------------------------------- Joe R -- To unsubscribe, send ANY message to <dragonraid-unsubscribe@...>
