You can still post a reply in the other post (a "what happened last night" reply)... it will be interesting to see how the Dwarf/Goblin relationship develops [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]sulldawga wrote: OC: Sorry I didn't post in response to Bennug catching me in the fireplace. I would have just made up some such response like "Just getting to know the place..."
Desmond responds that he is interested in trying to run with an improved armour class is all. Plus, there is the chance to sacrifice your shield for not taking damage. He wants to at least give it a try for a while...sulldawga wrote: The dwarf noticed that Desmond purchased a couple of shields while they were traveling about town together and, should the halfling appear without his Cold Iron Axe, Dorgan will ask him why he's decided to make the switch.
Mads' Cold Iron Axe is a two handed weapon for a Halfling, however.ehiker133 wrote:Desmond responds that he is interested in trying to run with an improved armour class is all.

Right. That's why the axe is on the wall in his room and he's carrying his short sword and shield...waysoftheearth wrote:Mads' Cold Iron Axe is a two handed weapon for a Halfling, however.ehiker133 wrote:

One-handed, Desmond can use a short sword, hand-axe, mace, dagger and so on. If he uses the larger axe single-handedly, his attack rolls will be disadvantaged.

He slides it into the center of the table, mumbling something about happily chipping in if it means having a breakfast of something more than hot tea.
Then he goes back to quietly sipping at his tea, slightly concerned at how restful his sleep was, all things considered, and at how he feels... taller? No. Stronger? More robust? He somehow feels different than he did when he went to bed.
After breakfast, he'll go up to his room and figure out a way of securing Mads' Cold Iron Axe to the wall near his bed. Then he'll pull out his old short sword and make sure it has a keen edge on it before strapping it on...
