3138 Owen Checks In
on April 23, 2018
D&D GAME!
Yes, I’m running a D&D game! I was asked specifically to run a D&D campaign and so I am! It’s set in Mythological Greece and I’m using everything from Homer to Ovid as research.
If you’re at all interested in how it goes, I’m going to be putting session summaries in the Forum! Did you know we have a forum? Well check it out!

Here’s where I’m posting my game info:

Like father, like son…
For some reason, looking at panel 4, I find it unlikely that C’Rhynne would go into so much detail in her story 😉
I think this is more like how Glon was remembering and not telling. Thinking of Glon as a kid brought back memories of happier days, and possibly why she left.
We have the advantage of a storyteller (Rich) that is granting us insight into the characters’ thoughts.
I don’t see how Glon can remember something where he wasn’t present. This is a flashback to the time, but it isn’t possible to be from Glon’s memory. His imagination perhaps, but I don’t think that either.
This isn’t Glon’s memory. C’rhynne was the one remembering the children in Greyfort.
Hee… no Fnordius meant that it’s /like/ Glon’s memory, meaning it isn’t representing what C’rhynne is telling him so much as what C’rhynne is remembering.
Which is true. She *is* telling them a version of this story, but what I’m indulging in is some flashback/memories to put the audience into the actual Greyfort some 20 years ago.
Sorry that it’s confusing. But yeah, C’rhynne isn’t sitting in their living room describing how Owen started kissing her neck.
Honestly, the part about Owen kissing her neck and flirting shamelessly goes without saying. It’s Owen.
> Sorry that it’s confusing.
Don’t worry – it’s definitely not.
t!
Heh. Owen doing Owen things. ?
Hah! Yes.
The first thing I noticed in Panel 1 is the way he’s checking out her hind parts.
t!
Dang! That guy’s just a love machine ain’t he?
Listen, and understand. Baron Greyfort is out there. He can’t be bargained with. He can’t be reasoned with. He doesn’t feel shame, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are wooed.
…
Me specifically?
Is your name on the list (Prior Conquests, parts I through CCLIII)? If no, then yes you specifically. If yes, you have already been wooed, and may or may not be due a second wooing at Baron Greyfort’s discretion.
Not simply a "love machine," but coupled with that drive, ambition, and…range…perhaps it’s more correct to describe him as "a siege engine of romantic ambition."
That’s not a crown he’s wearing, it’s a solar collector to power a love machine.
What?
Okay, I admit it…It’s derived from an old joke that I tell people when they ask about my bald spot. I first learned that joke from my dad, so there’s really no telling how old that joke really is.
I say go with it. It nice to see Owen "alive" again.
Just what every story needs: confirmation that your dad banged the storyteller.
Well, I’d have no qualms if the storyteller happened to be my mother, but that’s not the case here, is it? So maybe it’s a good thing C’rhynne isn’t going into *this* much detail for Glon.
I suspect the version of the story they’re hearing is third-person-limited, but we’re being treated to the third-person-omniscient authorial perspective as readers, as Rich has suggested. And I suspect the detail is there more for context of C’rhynne’s past roles — acknowledged and unspoken, alike — in the lives of the Greyfort royal family. Perhaps it’s there to suggest to us how she may have acquired the insight into their respective characters, upon which she’s basing claims about "the Glon she knew."
(This was meant in reply to Jack, above.)
I think you’re probably right, I just thought it was funnier to imagine she was giving this detail.
