Power back. I've got a lot of ebay and other stuff to catch up so I won't have time to post more today. Tomorrow I'll tell you the story about this horror.
Oh, it was 'orrrible syra, just 'orrible!
Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
"Hell is other people."
Jean-Paul Sartre or Les Rankins
Never trust eye witnesses. I misunderstood what I saw out my window the day before yesterday. What actually happened was a council truck transporting an excavator to road works up the end of my road passed under the wires running from the power pole across the road to the power pole on our property. It had the excavator's scoop up in the air and it snagged on the wires, pulling them down and pulling the two poles out of true quite a bit. The driver didn't stop so when I looked out the window I saw a work truck next to the pole across the street with wires hanging down and thought he had hit the pole. I spoke to the driver of that truck latter and he had been sitting there waiting for his boss to show so they could start their renovation work for the day. He was in the vehicle when the wires fell thereby scaring him half to death.
The fire brigade came and blocked the street until the electricity utilities people showed up to clear the wires from the street. The pole on our property is not the utilities' property so it was our responsibility to get it repaired. But of course no one knew this because... After six hours of no power I contacted the electrify people to find out when they would do something. Half an hour latter a guy rang me back and said that he had attended the site and tried to find someone in our units to tell them that we needed to organise the work to repair our pole. He couldn't find anyone so he left a form on the notice board in the entry area explaining what had to happen. This of course is bullshit. I was home all day, two unit below mine where occupied all day, If he had walked up two flights of stairs and knocked on some doors he would have found three people to tell.
So after a 7 hour delay we find out we have to get the repairs organised ourselves. I contact the management company that looks after our building and they got an electrician out pretty quickly. He took one look at our pole and said it had to be replaced. It was 4PM so that wasn't happening that day. The next day (yesterday) I decided I had no interest in staying in with no air conditioning or food. So I spend the day in a nice air conditioned movie theatre.
I dislike the idiot who pulled the wires down and drove away but I loath the government employee who rather than knock on a few doors just stuck a form on a notice board and pretended he had done his job. For God's sake, no one ever looks at notice boards. If I hadn't followed up to find out when our power would be back we could still be waiting.

Governments have forgotten it's their purpose to, you know, actually do their jobs. Who thought a method of governing based on a popularity contest would be effective? Bah, not that I have any idea for a decent replacement. It's human nature to subvert even the best system to what they perceive to be their interests.
Goodness, for this to be happening during what is probably your busiest season.
I really hope you get this mess fixed.
Round 6
Thomas moves his horse in close, drawing his sword and slashing down at the troop nearest to him with his blade's flat. "Someone will tell the tale. Will it be you, scum?"
Short Sword Attack: 14 Damage: 12
OOC - if the distance from Thomas to the foe is under 60 feet, he will use the horse's Disengage and move back what ever remains, as well.
“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?"
"Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied

Instead of requesting aid from the spirits of the forest why not give aid (help) to one of the others when they attack.
OCC Would that be Guidance ? I am not familiar with any 'helping' spells, other than healing - might be because I am a bit dense sometimes. Hints would be helpful.
