9:33AM - Noticulator Entry
Notes from the constant running log of the Circumgyratory Spooling Noticulator-MK2 in attractive black. The quality of the penmanship, and thus the pen used in question, are both high. All running log entries in the noticulator start with a date and then entered one per ruled line by number and time.
Home.
I feel like I am losing some essential fight, some massive core argument where I am not even sure the topic. It has left me feeling empty and drained and resigned and frustrated.
Not happy about the future. But the choices are stagnation, running back to Begma, or going forward. Going forward is not making me happy. The other two options make me less happy. What choice do I have? Besides, I do these things to myself and I swore to uphold our Duties however I can.
I must be crashing off the excitement of the invasion.
10:00AM - Packet 60
Public packet 60 should appear in your +packet/list, and I have streamlined it to put things in groups and hide those that people do not show an interest in. The use of '+packet/next 60' is recommended.

9:52AM - Hospital Journal Entry
Notes on a collection of papers stolen from a nurse's station in the Mandrake Charity Hospital. The quality of the penmanship is very shaky.
Still Hospitalized.
Between the drugs and the healing coma, spent almost all of yesterday asleep instead of causing trouble. Woke to discover Isabelle had sent me over some Begman mysteries. Read the first one, but I'd figured it out before the second corpse. Have higher hopes for the other two.
Very strange drug-induced dreams. Dreamed of the White Tower (again). Why Robin was there I have no idea...
Sleep today. Home tomorrow.

10:47PM - [LOG] Exams, Zombies, Spiders, and a White Tower
Synopsis: For reasons that are unclear, Robin participates in Addison's fevered morphine dream.
( The zombies lurch closer and go, 'Litigate... Litigate... Prosecute...' )
10:43AM - Hospital Journal Entry
Notes on a collection of papers stolen from a nurse's station in the Mandrake Charity Hospital. The quality of the penmanship is very shaky.
Hospitalized.
They tell me not until Wednesday, now. Originally it was this morning but that was before the poison finally ran its course and I started spitting up blood. I breathed in too much of Brand's insecticide on the mound.
I tried to get out of here as an experiment but I was turned away at the front door and sent back to bed.
When I get out of purgatory, I still won't be holding a sword for several more days, at the very least. I am not sure what to do now the invasion ended. Technically, my service to the Field Marshall ended the moment House Karm sealed the Gates and my sister finished off the thing in the sewers; I am back to gainful unemployment.
I will find something. Meanwhile, time to read between doses of painkillers that make me sleep.
I still demand Citrus Rights!

2:31PM - [LOG] Interlude: Citrus Rights
Synopsis: Taleyn and Addison are both bored and injured in the hospital and thus begin to CONSPIRE to amuse themselves. And there is no lime gelatin! Only strawberry! Woe! They stage a formal protest in the wounded ward! Theophrastus is not particularly sympathetic.
( Taleyn says, 'Strawberry's cruel and unusual, Doctor, as any right-thinking Feldane will attest.' )
12:43PM - [LOG] Harbor Battle: The Docks
Synopsis: This is what happened at the Docks, which included a huge invasion by the Gate Fishers in the middle of waiting for the Rebman team to drop the struts for the docks and put water and rubble between the mound and dry ground. Everything in bold is a global emit of what is happening in the scene. The rest is on shore.
Players: Addison, Brand, Deirdre, Glanworth, Molly, Petrus, Roxiel
( Addison yells, 'Field-- oh, hell with it.' He screams out, 'PRINCESS DEIRDRE! THE GATE FISHERS! THE BLOODY GODDAMN GATE FISHERS!' He reaches over his shoulder and pulls his sword. 'Don't let them get to the equipment!' )
12:11PM - [LOG] Harbor Battle: Underwater
Synopsis: This is the (completely unseen by the rest of the PCs) epic battle between Maddock and the Undine underwater at the Docks in the Bay. Everything in bold is a global emit of what is happening in the scene. The rest is all underwater.
Players: Lucretia (in a Begman diving suit), Maddock
( Maddock: 3, Undines: 0.5 )
12:00PM - [OOC] The Harbor Battle Scene
Commentary on putting together and running the Harbor Battle Scene.
( Notes on the Harbor Battle Scene )
Thanks to everyone who came to play the plot! Special thanks to Servalle and Malachi for co-GMing the scene and making it all work, and Helix for throwing out an entirely new system right before the scene to give incentive to players to trade Horrible Pain for World-Changing Awesome.
Oh, and Deirdre cannot hit the broad side of a barn. But that is another story.
3:18AM - A few thoughts on the invasion
As we come towards the conclusion of this invasion, I thought I'd share a few thoughts on the subject, in a more or less FAQ style.
( Cut for length. )
