is this thread still active?

*it did kinda die. But there's always thread necromancy*

*...or not. I'll boink this thread one more time, but if it doesn't come alive again from this I'll let it die peacefully.*

"Brr." A skeleton covered with chunks of ice enters the tavern, his skin long gone. The ice begins to melt, and electricity sparks along the water. He takes a seat in the bar, but doesn't order anything, he just sits there. As he sits, he says to the bartender, "You know, since I'm already dead, I've tried a couple times to get to them Ice crystals at the poles. Always froze solid before I got to 'em. Eventually I'll melt enough into move away, and then I'll try to get up there again. My magic helps a little, but without fire I'm unable to get anywhere close. If we had a wizard or something that could make some fire, and a team of people like me, people who don't die, we could get up there, and we could bust them crystals up and warm up the world. They might just come back, though." He looks longingly at a flagon of beer. "Man I miss drinking. I don't remember ever being able to do it, but I'm sure I could, and I miss it. They say it warms the soul and the body. I could use some of that." he trails off, looking longingly into the distance as he sips an imaginary drink.

 "That certainly sounds good. Sadly, people able to summon fire are very rare and few between. But it would be nice to see this world freed from the cold..." He also looks longingly into the distance. 

In shock, the skeleton stands up and says, "You've met people who can summon fire? I haven't met anyone - Where did they go? How long ago did you see them? Can you introduce us?"

(If I post enough, thread necromancy could succeed!)

“You haven’t met anyone?”

A quaggoth is seated in the corner, rolling dice made of bone. “How’s that work? Must be a lonely life, that’s a fact.”

Since we are the only two here for now, would you mind setting up an encounter to run for the heck of it. 

*Are you talking to me or Gibber?*

*Because as much as I love running things, I don’t have any real authority over this particular thread.*

Either

The skeleton looks at you and sighs, "It is a lonely life, being dead. However, I was referring to anyone who could create fire. I haven't met anyone who could do that."

"No. I haven't met anyone who can do it. There are rumors, but they are very likely just that-- rumors. The Hearts of Frost seem to heavily weakened fire magic to the point of extinction."

*Regarding the encounter thing, the main way I run my own encounters on this thread (though anyone can ask me if they want to run one themselves) is by Besint's hunting expeditions. I can do one of those, if you want.

Also, thread necromancy is being achieved! Yippee!*

Ezrer sags visibly at the mention that they were just rumors. He says, "Hey, I need to hone my skills before I try again. Could I go hunt something for you? A bothersome Ice Giant, perhaps?"

*Regarding factions, if I would like to introduce a new one would I just introduce it or would I run it past you through PM first? 

"If you want to hunt, ask Besint. He's going on an expedition soon, and he is willing to take people with him." Calorn gestures to Besint, who is by the door sharpening his weapons.

*Just introducing it is fine, as long as it follows the rules you're good.*

"Here. When I get back, I've got something I've gotta tell you." He smiles, moves away, and introduces himself to Besint. 

Besint, a man who appears to be around his 30s or 40s, looks up at Ezrer. "Nice to meet you. Judging from what I overheard from there (he points to the bar), you're here to join the expedition?"

"Exactly. I hope to hone my skills before I attempt to destroy the Hearts of Ice again. I need to find a way to keep the ice off of me. Is there any help you can offer?"

 If you need help training your skills, come with me on a little expedition. Fighting some monsters or hunting some animals might help you take them on, if it's possible."

Ezrer smiles at that and prepares to leave.
