Gone real silent on the Arcanium Society front, I apologise for this. I do want to continue the Knights of Purity story arc to it's end at least though and probably some specials too (with Gary's blessing). I am, however, unsure of it's future using the BRP rules however, and don't think it works for the setting. I know this'll mean changing the rules again but I think I've found the perfect system for it - HeroQuest.

For those who are not familiar with HeroQuest, the character sheet is literally your character bio and a list of skills that you create (that's right, you make up the skills for your character). It's simple, easy to understand and allows complete freedom concerning abilities etc.

I haven't thought too much on this yet, but I am thinking that characters have a points value that relate to how long they've been around, so the oldest characters (the ones played by Gary, Paul, Dave, Wayne etc.) get a big boost to skill values, the "current gen" characters who have been active recently (the ones played by myself, Max, Troy, Sam, Chris, Alex, James etc.) get a fair boost to their skills and any new characters start off with the basic.

Comments and criticisms, as always, are welcome.

At our last meeting you saw how my condition deterioated as the weekend progressed. You heard of the possible solution to this; the time will soon be at hand.

No less than 3 days before the moon reaches it full we must attempt to gather the herb for this is when it is at its most potent.

I propose to gather on the 11th day of the next cycle (Friday 20th August) and travel at night to reach our target. Thus allowing a full day to achieve our goal.

If you are willing and able say now.

As night fell a thick fog covered the forest. Looking out the windows I couldn't see more than a foot. It was cold and dark and I decided to go to bed early. I failed to notice the absence of animal noises, it didn't even register. I was tired and exhausted after a week of hell and just wanted to sleep. I was woken just past midnight by scratching at the windows. I tried to ignore it, figuring it was just the trees. But it continued. In the end I went to the window and drew back the curtain. There wasn't anything, just the thick white fog. I closed the curtains again and went back to bed. The scratching continued. This time I ignored it and put ear plugs in. After that I feel asleep

The next day when I went outside I couldn't believe what I saw. The walls of the cabin were covered in deep scratch marks, like they had been attacked by the claws of a bear. Worse of all, the tyres to my car had been punctured. I called my brother on my mobile and told him an animal had attacked the car. He said he would be with me within an hour. An hour past and he never came. I called him but it wasn't him who answered. A voice, rasping and unfamiliar laughed at me. "He's not coming jack" it hissed and the phone went dead. I dropped the phone and feelingly like I was been watched again I spun round. It was standing there, not more than a foot from me. I screamed and fell over. Skin all drawn and pale, teeth jagged and yellow and wide open eyes, white and filmy. It looked like a corpse, except it was walking, talking. "Hello Jack" it hissed and leaned over, clawed hands outstretched. I curled into a ball, covering my face and screamed. I don't know how long I lay like that but when I looked I was alone. It started to rain and the wind picked up so I ran into the cabin and locked all the doors and windows. I was so scared I pushed as much furniture over the windows and against the doors as I could. Then I lit the fire least it try and get in through the chimney.

I didn't sleep well that night. Every time I closed my eyes I saw its face and head its voice. But it never came. The next day I pulled the door open as a car pulled up. It was my brother Doug. I hugged him, shaking. As he drove me to town I told him of what happened. He laughed at me and when I turned to him to tell him off, I screamed. It wasn't Doug. It was that creature "Your going to die Jack, like poor Joanne died" it hissed and turned the wheel. The last thing I saw and heard before it all went black was the creature laughing

When I awoke I was in hospital. The police told me Doug had blown a tyre and the car went off the road into a gully. I was badly injured but would be ok. Doug wasn't so lucky. He had been thrown through the windscreen and impaled upon a tree branch. I told them about the thing, about my night in the cabin but they didn't believe me. Its night now. The ward is silent. Most of the other patients are asleep. The nurse has come in. I ask her for a drink and then start screaming. It isn't the nurse. It's the thing. It's laughing at me and reaching out with those hands, those terrible clawed hands.]]>

As some of you may be aware the entire HMS forum, while being In-Character, is also totally open to anyone who has access to the Leylines - Including the Bad Guys!!

Well now there is a new sub-forum "Password Protected Leyline Area" which will require a password for you to enter into.

If you are given this password you MUST remember that it is CHARACTER based and therefore no other character (unless they too have been given the password) can view or post there. So for example Nevyn Swiftarrow has the password but any other character I play does not, and I will only access and read/reply to threads pertinent to Nevyn Swiftarrow.

I have created a new user called "Leyline Druids" and this is who you need to message (private or email) to have access to this forum.

The Leyline Druids' email address is: leylinedruids@gmail.com

Naturally if any of the rules are broken then the password may well be instantly changed and you will have access denied!

The last five months she had drawn nothing but a blank upon the subject at hand, there seemed little to no trace. But perhaps they had just been looking in the wrong area? Perhaps the information that was required was before their eyes and they could not see the wood for the trees?

Pacing slowly before the alms houses of Palace Green, the small stretch of land nestled between the safety of the castle that overlooked the winding path of the river and beneath the looming shadow of the great Dunholm Cathedral, its imposing blood-red walls casting a warning glow in the moonlight, all seemed silent for a few small short moments, save for the footfalls of members of the city guard.

She turned sharply down a shadowed path and made her way down the steep slope of Dune Cow lane, her footfalls carefull amongst the uneven cobles that lay beneath her booted feet as she seemed ever restless. A few pilgrims that lined the roads to the cathedral stopped and stepped uneasily out of the way to allow ghostly figure to pass. (Although the sight of a exorcist was not altogether uncommon in the city walls, there was at least half a dozen) it was only she that held a face truly void of any emotion and character in the smooth surface of the white painted mask that have an ethereal glow in the moonlight that peeked through the small patches of cloud.

Despite the heat she still kept the heavy cloak about her shoulders, not to keep her aching limbs warm but rather to allow her to blend in and out of the evening shadows with ease should she feel the need.

Bishop Fisher seemed to be heavily caught within church business within the last few days with the success of the scholars attached to the Cathedral it was left to herself and Father Thomas.

" stop brooding..." Guy, forever a lover of sliding in and out of the shadows as he felt necessary fell into step alongside her, picking at his back tooth after his evening meal, glancing breifly at the foodscrap before wiping it on the dark linen leg of his trousers.

Her head snapped sharply in his direction, green eyes peering out of the snowy almond voids, she didn't need to say a single word to the journeyman Exorsist beside her, although he seemed clad more as a merchant of the town, but then with the market within a stones throw it would have been a far easier way to glean what little information they could.

"..alright, alright...." he had known her far too long to need to hear any word depart from her lips to know when he needed to curb his tounge around his old friend. "...you saw the order, not me.... was only askin' lass "

She shook her head slowly as they walked " they seemed to think she is up here somewhere...who ever she is....didn't exactly give much to go on...."

After trolling through youtube and looking through videos which I turn back to ocassionally in my life when I wish to consider Nostalgia or generally remember things which are corner stones in my life, I pondered if anyone else share similar songs or movie theme songs which really bring them back.

So, What I ask you is, what theme tunes / songs really bring you back when you hear them, what are your top three (In no particular order, or more than three if you want, i'm just saying as an example) if you could name them right now?

I have so many but for right now, I'd have to go with the following.

1. The Terminator theme song (terminator 1 and 2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXQTzJgU6qc

2. Love song for a Vampire (Annie Lennox for Bram Stokers Dracula) I personally can't listen to this song without being in fits of tears.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhG8zC4npsE

Seriously, as far as Power Metal goes, there's very little which can even compare to that theme song.

Anyway, so, the main question stands, what are yours? Can you think of any good ones?

I'd love to hear peoples responses, as I adore the feeling of Nostalgia.

After trolling through youtube and looking through videos which I turn back to ocassionally in my life when I wish to consider Nostalgia or generally remember things which are corner stones in my life, I pondered if anyone else share similar songs or movie theme songs which really bring them back.

So, What I ask you is, what theme tunes / songs really bring you back when you hear them, what are your top three (In no particular order, or more than three if you want, i'm just saying as an example) if you could name them right now?

I have so many but for right now, I'd have to go with the following.

1. The Terminator theme song (terminator 1 and 2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXQTzJgU6qc

2. Love song for a Vampire (Annie Lennox for Bram Stokers Dracula) I personally can't listen to this song without being in fits of tears.

I am just getting the details through of our second and last public appearance of the year. This is the St Josephs School Fete in Stanford Le Hope. Hopefully I have given you all a bit more time for this one. I need as many of you as possible. 12 or more works well for this one especially if you are in full kit. Its a great day out and a very worth while event.

Solid State – Gate City’s man of metal

SeaHawk – Strength, power and duty from the waters to the air
Overspeed – Barter Towns very own speedster
William Baxter – Fortunes Favoured

Battle of Bas Vegas

Our metal hero Solid State fights along side the mysterious siren protector of Bas Vegas, White Stiletto against the battling forces of the Czar of crime and the Jones Brothers. With a mighty punch he sends one of the ring leaders flying and quickly sends the rest packing. While getting thanks from White Stiletto, the arrival of the police stops a meaningful conversation.

The next day, Nighthunter in his normal guise as the billionaire Kent with Image, disguised as his bodyguard Mr Smith go to the offices Global Britannia Paradym, meeting the CEO Paul Robertson. Our duo of heroes begin a subtle battle of wits with the potentially corrupt businessman but are ultimately stymied in their attempt to get further information.
While our investigating heroes efforts are frustrated two of the other Secret Wardens, our man of steel Solid State and the paragon of sea and air SeaHawk make startling and potentially disturbing revelations of their own. They discover that the former major shareholder of GBP is none other than Richard Harlington the Marquis of Kensington, former minister and author of the CONTROL Act! Apparently after the events of U Day Lord Kensington withdrew from public life quitting the cabinet and selling most of his shares at GBP.

More intriguing is that another of the shareholders a certain international playboy Mr Stag, has other than his interests in GBP has no other business interests. Solid State begins to wonder if Stag and the Knave of Hearts are one and the same.

Our heroes reconvene back at Coalhouse to discuss what they have and haven’t discovered. Their discussions bring up worrying possibilities for the resolute Secret Wardens, what is the connection to Lord Kensington and where is he? Could he or GBP have connections to the Dark Tinkerer? Could the Dark Tinkerer be the architect of the Crown? Just how far does this conspiracy go? The Secret Wardens are determined to discover the answer to these questions.

Fortunes favoured William Baxter discovers that Mr Stag is due to attend a party at the French Ambassador’s residence and manages to get an invite for him, Nighthawk and Image, whose shapechanging powers come to the fore again as he becomes the mysterious but beautiful Ms Smith. At the party our heroes meet the supposed playboy Stag, and over a game of cards, Mr Stag drops some unsubtle clues that confirms that he is indeed the devilish Knave of Hearts! Despite being favoured by Lady Luck herself William Baxter finds that he cannot beat the Knave of Hearts. Nighthawk becoming increasingly frustrated at the Knave of Hearts questions and comments turns to leave, only to be offered a magic trick, Mr Stag says he can guess the card that the Nighthawk has chosen. It is no surprise that the card is indeed the jack of hearts, the surprise comes when the Knave tosses Nighthawk a gold coin.

Meanwhile the investigative team of Solid State and SeaHawk make discoveries of their own at the Fortress. The pair had gone to seek the mysterious Gatekeeper’s help in contacting Sceptre, instead they get a obtuse hints that they should be asking other questions. Solid State guesses the truth just before it is revealed by the Gatekeeper, the Usurper is none other than Lord Kensington himself! A powerful psychic he place a compulsion on the four Jacks, compelling them to secure his escape, but it seems that the four Jacks are not working together.

The revelation, added by the Gatekeeper himself, brings our heroes together at the Fortress where the revelations are shared. Tired from the evenings events Nighthawk starts to return home, only for his companions to realise that the coin he was given may be placing him in terrible danger. The fastest man in Gate City rushes after him and secures the coin bringing it back to the main group. Here one last startling discovery is made, the coin has a strange residue on it. As Image begins to investigate what this residue does, the rest of the Secret Wardens ponder what new shocks are on the horizon.
