|
a stiff black leather invitation shaped like an open treasure chest
>look invitation
Reinforced at the corners and expertly tooled, the treasure chest seems to be filled with a menagerie of gold coins and sparkling gems. A brilliant flicker amongst the glittering plunder makes you realize it is only an imbedded hologram. Nestled amongst the faux treasure is a yellowed piece of parchment covered with elegantly styled calligraphy.

PIRATES!!!
okay, I'm done now. The funny thing is, I've been doing a LOT of research about pirates lately for the RPG I'm creating (in the style of Exalted, but it's about pirates). I'm so gonna rock that trivia game. |

I keep trying to think of Tyger as a pirate, but I keep seeing him coming out as Captain Jack Sparrow. _________________ >ask librarian about books

For anyone who may want/need it, there is a map of Llanfair here (courtesy of Haidee):
http://haidee.haelrahv.net/1.jpg
My home is located on the top right of the map where it says Instruments and has a house on the block.
The home will be open for the party, but just in case it is closed when you arrive for whatever reason, you can PUSH DOORBELL to be admitted.
I made a map of the grounds, and posted it at my Yahoo! group. If you are not a member, feel free to join (there is a lot of 'general' information there that any profession would find helpful).
The link is:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/tohaelrahv/
Once there, click on 'Photos' in the left-hand columb.
Click the folder named 'maps'.
Click the picture named 'Zol-Raja'
Click 'Full-Size'
Now you can either view it or download it to your PC for future reference by right-clicking and choosing 'Save Image As'.
Party will be held on the patio.
If anyone has any questions, please let me know.
Hope you are all getting your pirate duds together! _________________

-sigh- Well, damn.
The party might, and probably will (knowing my luck), coincide with the play I'm going to. But it's Shakespeare (The Merchant of Venice)!!! I can't pass that up!
You just had to schedule it on a weekend I'm going home, and therefore actually doing stuff. |
