I believe that only scientists can understand the universe. It is not so much that I have confidence in scientists being right, but that I have so much in nonscientists being wrong.

The continuation of the campaign

2008-11-02T09:21:00.002+01:00

When we last left our heroes, they had just secured the gem of elements. After the great whale guardian was slain, the small fishing village nearby threw a large party, fed and lit by whale. Most of the heroes joined in on the festivities, but not all. Using the festival as a distraction, John Fox annexed one of the small fishing boats to help continue their quest. Using their newly acquired boat, they traveled to Lightpoint where they hoped to find a larger boat (and steal it without the cleric noticing) to take them to the Three Cities of Katarna where another gem might reside.
So shortly after arriving, they left the cleric behind and snuck away to the harbor. There they encountered a crowd gathered around two people arguing. A captain of a merchant ship was refusing to set sail to the Three Cities because of the danger. The merchant who owns the ship, is demanding that the captain does what he is told and that the rumors have no basis of truth. The merchant then cries out that if the captain won't do his job, he'll just find a new one. It's at this point that our heroes stepped forward and offered to captain the ship to the Three Cities. The merchant agreed, and the old captain disagreed. The next day they set sail with the merchant ship, onward to the next gem. However on the way there, they planned to steal the ship away from the merchant by making the crew rise up against him. They hid the food, and claimed the merchant had given them insufficient supplies to make the trip. After which they graciously 'bought' new food in one of the villages on the route. Then they forged a letter from the merchant that because of their tardiness no one would be getting paid. After all this the crew had no problem that the heroes raised the pirate flag and set sail for the Isles of Bones, a known pirate hide-out and possible location of one of the Gems of Power. Our heroes where well under way when disaster struck.
Under the cover of a massive storm, two water drakes attacked the boat. Despite being quickly dispatched by the heroes, the drakes did manage to damage the boat enough so that it capsized under the force of the storm. Our heroes where thrown into the water, able to save only a handful of the crew. They gathered the driftwood remains of the ship and created a simple raft. After a few days of drifting, they stranded on the Isles of Bones.But the island seemed deserted, a few pirate ships remained half-sunk it the bay of the island. They then set out to explore the island in search of the Gem of Power.
A few hours travel later, they found a cave where they set up their camp for the night. During the night zombies sprang up from deep inside the cave but were quickly destroyed by the cleric on guard. The next day they set out to explore the cave, only to find their old cleric at the end of it. He called out to the heroes, claiming that they had abandoned and replaced him. The cleric had killed the guardian that had been there and was now wearing the gem. the heroes quickly killed him but had more trouble with the Bone Nagas which had been under his control. They now had the Gem of Life but were stranded on an island with no way to get back to the main land.

2008-10-01T18:35:00.003+02:00

When we last left our heroes they had just left Devalon after promising the Steward to find the gems he was looking for and kill him (not necessarily in that order). They headed towards Digger's Pass where the Red Tower guard was searching for a gem until they were stopped. The party quickly retraced their steps and discovered a secret passage way which now stood perched open. Inside the secret tunnel they heard a scream coming from a nearby cave. They drew their weapons and charged ahead, only to be confronted by a conflagration ooze chasing after a girl. While they were fighting the ooze, two other humans showed up in their aid. Supposedly these two men had wandered into the caves from Underbridge, one of the towns which guards the entrance to Digger's Pass. With their help the ooze quickly died. The girl thanked our heroes and explained that she was from Aeriola, a city nearby. As the party and the rest of the world was unfamiliar with this city, she explained that it was a city deep in the mountains governed by the emissary of Hevate, Kroc. It was also Kroc who had saved her life by giving her part of his soul when she had an accident a long time ago. The party continued on to Aeriola and discovered a transport ooze in the caves abandoned by giants who lived here long ago. After luring it down with food, they climbed aboard and the cube ferried them to Aeriola. The city of Aeriola turned out to be a ring-link structure hovering around the largest mountain and the cube had to climb across a cable to get there. After reaching the city they were greeted by its Bluespawn guards. As a thank you for saving the girl they were taken to Kroc instead of being killed on sight. Confronted with the large blue dragon, Kroc, the party soon figured out that he was the guardian of the gem and went on the offensive. Beating back the palace guards on one side and the dragon on the other, they eventually came out victorious and secured the gem. Unfortunately the girl they rescued went up in flames and the city that Kroc was powering started falling down. Some quick thinking by the party enabled them to survive the impending doom. Two gems down, three to go. From the prophecy of the Formian queen, they figured out that the gem of elements is located in the bay of the reflected moon. They commandeered a boat to take them there and along the way heard legends of a sea monster that lives in that area. Putting op base in a small fishing village, they headed out to find this creature. After confronting the 300m whale, their only solution was to get themselves swallowed and attack from the inside out. The poor creature never stood a chance as a half-dragon crocodile made its way through its gut. Inside the carcass they found the gem. Feeling confident they set out to find the remaining gems.

LHC Results

2008-09-12T20:44:00.003+02:00

Wow, the results of the Large Hardon Collider (LHC) are just amazing. They just blew my mind. On the same day (10 September) that it was activated, the people visiting this blog more than doubled. On the next day (11 September), I had a hundred visitors, more than I've had in some months... Most of them interested in this blog post.
Somehow switching on the LHC and accelerating protons, changed the internet in a sense that directed lowly internet users to my blog. Intercepting them from their normal routine and forcing them to end up here. I'm not sure I understand how this is possible but I can't wait untill the first scientific papers start being published about this.
Also just imagine what will happen when they start doing the first tests on the 21st of October.

PS
Yes, it works
No, it didn't destroy the Earth

Another story from NotAlwaysRight (Possibly the best one yet)

(It’s Halloween, and I’m dressed up as a vampire and wearing a pentacle necklace. The crew is planning on going out after work for a party.)

Me: “Did you find everything you needed tonight?”

Customer: “Yes, thank you. Can I just say that I think it was very nice of them to let you all dress up for tonight? I really like what you have on.”

Me: “Thank you, ma’am.”

Customer: “But don’t you think you took it a little too far?”

Me: “Uh… took what too far?”

Customer: “Well I understand that you’re supposed to be some type of vampire, but don’t you think that necklace is taking it too far?”

Me: “Oh, that. That’s not part of my costume, I always wear that.”

Customer: *loudly* “Well if you want to risk burning in H*** for wearing that devil worshiping symbol, that’s just fine with me… but they shouldn’t be letting you wear that here in a public place!”

Me: *sarcastically* “Well, why shouldn’t they let me wear it? After all, we all practice together and I’m the high priestess. In fact as soon as you leave, we’re gonna close up the store, start a bonfire in the parking lot, and then dance naked around it until dawn.”

Customer, to one of my managers: “Aren’t you going to do anything about what she said to me?”

Manager #1: “Yes, ma’am. As soon as you leave, we’re going to close the store.”

Customer: “THAT’S IT?!”

Manager #2: “Of course not, ma’am. You heard the rest of our… plans.”

(And with the kind of timing that only happens once in a lifetime, a stock boy unwittingly walks out of the back room while taking his uniform shirt off at the same time. The customer practically runs out of the store.)
