(You can save these for boring work days if you want. That way you know you'll have something to do. :) Lmk if there's anything you'd like me to do differently at any point.)

You tell Lys you want to get out of the city. You want to do something exciting, invigorating! You want to get away from the mundanity you've been subjected to and feel the adrenaline in your veins!

She looks you up and down, "I can do that, but be careful what you wish for." She and her horse head off as the rest of you follow.

Clarette looks to you, "There's no goal in mind?" You nod your head to confirm. "So, we're wandering aimlessly?" You nod again. "Then how long exactly do you intend on us doing this?"

How long would you like this story to be? Quick-done within the next 3-5 days, moderate-done within the next 5-7 days, long-done within the next 7-10 days, or let it end whenever feels right?

After awhile, you ride ahead, catching up to Lys. You start to see the path she's leading you to. It looks overgrown, like people rarely come through this way. As you get closer, you see more and more trees, darkening the path. "You still want excitement, right?" You look to the forest, then back to Lys, and tell her yes. "Alright."

As you ride into the forest, you become increasingly aware of every bit of movement in the trees. You continue riding for another hour, it's about 9 o'clock at this point. It's nearing the end of sundown when you're signaled to halt your horse. Lys signals you all to stay quiet before pointing to what seems to be a cabin not too far away. She comes close and whispers to the group, "That could be where we sleep tonight, but it is unfortunately already taken. By harpies." You look back over to the cabin, then back at Lys. She continues, "They can fly faster than we can walk, have sharp claws and are skilled with clubs, and they can sing a melody to charm you into doing nothing but trying to be as close to them as possible." Clarette seems unfazed. Nuolan, however, looks nervous. Before he can voice his concerns, though, Lys puts her hand up to silently ask him to wait. "But, they're easy to hit, don't take long to kill, they're relatively easy to tune out, you'll be immune to their singing for about a day if you can ignore it successfully, and there's only three in there while there's four of us."

Nuolan looks calmer, but still seems uncomfortable. "I did not realize this would be us actively seeking danger."

Clarette dismounts from her horse, moving to get a better view. "It would take about four hours to get to the next town. If they're truly not that troublesome, then it would make more sense to just deal with them instead of potentially a large group of bandits."

The rest of you dismount, tying your horses to nearby trees. Lys looks to you. "You still wanna do this?" You think for a moment, then motion to the cabin.

(The next part is going to involve rng. I do need an idea of certain things to complete your half elf wizard. Bare with me, it makes thing easier in the long run.

What kind of specialized wizard do you want to be? use a random number generator to pick between 1 and 8, or choose between protection magic, conjuration, divination, enchantment, elemental magic, illusion, necromancy, or transmutation.

What would you like to be proficient in? Use rng to choose between 1 and 16 four times, or choose four of the following: acrobatics, animal handling, arcana, athletics, deception, insight, intimidation, investigation, medicine, nature perception, performance, religion, slight of hand, stealth, or survival.

Would you rather make your rolls during fights, or I make them while writing? It will be much faster if I do it, but it might be more immersive for you to.)

long bc work is really dragging lately, elemental magic, deception/medicine/stealth/survival, you can make the rolls :))) thanks again 💞

“ARRESTS QUICKLY FOLLOW HOLD-UP,” Montreal Star. October 2, 1930. Page 3. --- Suspects In Daring Robbery On Wellington Street Caught ---- MESSENGER ROBBED ---- Two Bank Employes Fire Vainly After Fleeing Bandits ---- An hour after they had held up and robbed two messengers of the Banque Canadienne Nationale, three men were arrested in a flat, on Park avenue charged with the crime. The police are withholding their names. They secured $7,400 but the money was not recovered.

The robbery was one of the most daring in the crime annals of the city. The two messengers, Lucien Primeau, 2628 Manufacturers street and Leon Arsenault, 2570 St. Patrick street, were on their way to the Banque Canadienne Nationale branch at Notre Dame and McCord streets. They had just alighted from a street car at McCord and Wellington streets when three men jumped from a closed Sedan, parked nearby with drawn revolvers.

They surprised the messengers into handing over the bag containing money they had just brought from a branch at 1944 Centre street and leaped back into their car.

BULLETS EXCHANGED. As the car started to draw away the messengers opened fire with their revolvers. The bandits replied and about a dozen shots were exchanged without anyone being hit.

The robbery took place shortly be fore 12 o'clock and a rush call was sent to police headquarters. The police were furnished with a good description of the car and one hour later Inspector of Detectives Foucault, accompanied by Capt. Brodeur and Detectives Laroche, Bourdon, Rapin and Paquette, swooped down on a flat on Park avenue. They refused to disclose the address.

Here they arrested three men and charged them with the crime.

When the hold-up was committed all three were unmasked and the bank messengers were able to give the police a good description of the men.

SUSPECTS INTERROGATED. At 3 o'clock this afternoon police were still questioning the men they arrested on Park avenue and they reported that they had found the sedan. used in the crime but they had not found the money.

A squad of detectives was out searching the route taken by the hold-up men from the scene of the crime. The police were working on the theory that the money may have been thrown from the auto during the fight from the scene.

The croupier Irina reveals 3 insidious traps of the casinos

Gaming halls use a series of tricks to encourage players to lose more and more money. "It's not just the buffet and the free alcohol that keep customers in the game," Irina, a croupier with 12 years of experience, was quoted as saying by Standart. In their desire to win, everyone relies on the chance to be on their side, but unfortunately the odds do not depend even on the croupier. Games have their own world. They are well-calculated math problems in favor of the casino. So play in 우리카지노

& nbsp; The European roulette algorithm is such that if we bet on one of the 37 numbers, our chance of winning is 2.7%. The payout of the profit is in the ratio of 1:35, writes <a href="https://www.standartnews.com/balgariya-obshtestvo/v_kazinoto_bezplatniyat_alkohol_e_nayskapiyat-297548.html" target="_blank"> & quot; Standard & quot; </a>. strong> It reflects the information about the fallen numbers - how many black and how many red. "The biggest illusion for the players is that something depends on them," laughs Irina. With the release of the ball, everything starts from the beginning, no matter what is written on the board.The probability of the number 10 falling is the same as before: 2.7%. The misleading information makes roulette players dream, and this is exactly what the casino wants. When it comes to dreams and money in the gambling world, things get out of hand. Other simpler strategies for the game are betting on black and red, where the probability is 48.6%. It is not 50%, as most thrill seekers believe. Zero is not placed by chance. It changes the odds in favor of the gaming hall. The payout is 1: 1. And while engineers and ordinary people are wondering how to cheat the casino, a new trap is emerging behind them. It is tall, well set and delicate. The danger is the attractive waitress who offers free alcohol. Trap: 2: The sexy ladies on the staff They take care not only of the dry throats of customers in the casino. The waitresses smile at the players, create a feeling of calm in them. They guide them in choosing a game, but they do not fail to play a sexual joke. Trap ?3: Solid fuel Cup one, cup two and the player forgets about the value of the money. It never occurs to him that he has children, a wife ... Gambling-type rules Point one: Why am I going to the casino? I want to have fun and have a beer. Point two: Casinos lose money, not win. & quot; The atmosphere in the casino is designed to make you lose track of time. One enters with BGN 10 and leaves with a debt to moneylenders " ;, says the croupier. By playing, one can win an amount that is greater than the amount initially invested. He will want to win even more, but instead will lose, gradually investing a serious amount. After losing everything, the feeling of anger pushes him to turn to the moneylender. & quot; His handshake is not friendly & quot ;, Irina shares. Traps from the past An interesting practice of the casinos in 2006 was to bring people into the hall. to stock the players. One of them is an attractive lady in her 30s with straight black hair. She is tall, but with a delicate body. Her task is to glance at the players in the hall as if flirting. She flirted with them without saying a word. It was all in her posture and demeanor.The manager of the casino let her spin some 1000 leva. During this time, she enjoyed the game and the gentlemen who admired it. And they were waiting for her to come to them. They so sincerely wanted to touch her sophisticated world that they lost sight of what was happening in the game in which they were betting. The money just disappeared. The characters The Eternal Gambler At the beginning of her Friday night shift, Irina everyone times she came across the same character - Uncle Ivan. He is a bachelor. His salary is high enough to afford to lose BGN 500 at the end of the working week. His game hadn't been about money for a long time. It is important to feel the thrill of the rising adrenaline. "For mosquitoes, money is like newspapers," Irina said.According to the story of the experienced croupier, sworn gamblers have a special relationship with slot machines. They talk to them and & quot; seem to feed them & quot; and then wait for the big jackpot. Gambling types live to win. The time is 20. Before entering the gaming hall, Ivan withdraws BGN 200 from the ATM, which is accidentally positioned next to the casino. Then he sits down in front of his favorite slot machine, and two waitresses greet him and take his usual order - vodka with a car and ice. In this casino, players have individual cards that are placed in electronic devices and earn points according to what is played. The more points they have, the bigger bonus they get from the casino. For & quot; Hello! & Quot; Ivan receives a BGN 100 bonus. By the time he plays a hundred levs, he is already drunk. Then he starts playing with the money withdrawn from the ATM.On what principle does he play? & quot; What he said above will be given to me & quot; he does not hesitate. The only action Ivan does is push the button and drink. His eyes wander the screen, and the virtual drums of the & quot; one-armed bandit & quot; they line up instantly. After 00 o'clock Ivan drank a dozen glasses with his favorite cocktail "B and K", but his money ran out. To the delight of the player after midnight, he can withdraw more money. & quot; In an hour he will come out of the casino crawling, as always & quot ;, says Irina. Young minors & quot; I don't cover them at all & quot ;, laughs Irina . & quot; Being in a casino is an event for them - they expect applause & quot ;, she added. No matter who Daddy is, these kids are in the gym betting.Confused in the style of & quot; misunderstanding & quot ;, the boys measure their merits, as well as the modest knowledge of gambling seen in Hollywood movies. According to her, up to 20 years, men are small for the universe of gambling. They are still young and cannot control their emotions. They want everything to happen right away and they don't feel how fast the money is flying. "And if they teach their minds to gamble from now on, they will suffer for life," Irina warns. Playing Black Jack, they think they can count the cards, but forget that in small casinos they are confused by a machine. & quot; Keep one thing in mind when playing against a computer system & quot ;, warns the croupier. If you play this game, never sit down if there is a & quot; shuffle & quot; machine (Shuffle). You will be convincedthat in less than a minute you will lose 20 leva. In the real casinos, which in Sofia there are two, the cards are placed in plastic or metal stands - Shoe. The casino employee confuses them, and before the hand is dealt a red card with which the player can split the deck of 4 decks. To make the counting partially meaningless, the croupier deals 30 cards that are not played. This is how the game begins. Everyone is playing against the croupier. If he loses, everyone wins. If you lose one, you win the casino. If the dealer's top card is 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, then he has a better chance of losing. And the probability of winning is higher if his top card is 7, 8, 9, 10, Vale (J), Queen (Q), Pop (K) or Ace (A). The croupier must stop when he makes 17. While playing, you must make sure that you turn the rules in your favor. Let's say,that you are in the middle of the game and the deck is already halved. You know how many cards have passed from the respective honorers and numbers: 10, J, Q, K. The croupier has 4 and you have 8. You get nine (sum 17). Stop (the probability of losing is 68% because 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K or A can fall and you lose). Leave this to the croupier. He starts to draw small cards: 2, 4, 6, (sum of 16) - he can't stop. Take 7 (sum 23) and you're done, you win. An unwritten rule is that if you have an A, you have a 52% advantage over the croupier and you have to double. If you receive a Black Jack, your bet is multiplied by 2.5. But beware, the dangers of the casino continue to lurk. Don't give in to them. The two friends with BGN 10 They have a total of BGN 10. They drink and eat on their stomachs and have real fun.All night they spin the slot machine with a bet of ten cents and flirt with the waitresses. & quot; They are the coolest customers. At least you can joke with them & quot ;, says Irina. Recently, this type has begun to disappear. The experienced croupier says that compared to previous years, the level of players has dropped a lot. & quot; They shout, shoot and curse me and my colleagues, and we just give away! & Quot ;. Her recommendation to casino players is not to come with a desire to win. & quot; To bring 20 leva and an ID card, nothing more! & quot ;. Because of this type of entertainers, there are no more free cigarettes in the capital's casinos, and the minimum bets have been raised as follows: a slot machine 30 stotinki per spin, blackjack 5 leva per hand. The casino is not just a place to lose money. This is another world,known for a specific type of entertainment, but achieving euphoria should not be in self-forgetfulness and waste. Super Profits $ 656 million - 2012 in Illinois 648 million dollars in California 113 440 leva in Lovech 600 000 euros - Dimitar Danchev, the first poker millionaire in Bulgaria (2011) 4 345 183, 36 euros won a Dutch woman in Sofia in 2015 Curious Roulette - known in France since the XVII century Slot machine - developed in 1891 by Americans Sitman and Pete in Brooklyn Poker - Joseph Crowell first documented the game in 1829 Black Jack - Known in seventeenth-century French casinos Casanova is building a hall in Venice There are no clocks in Las Vegas casinos.

Early years Edit

Tobey was born in 1917 in Oakland, California. Following his graduation from high school in 1935, Kenneth entered the University of California, Berkeley with intentions to pursue a career in law until he began to dabble in acting at the school's theater.[1] His stage experience there led to a drama scholarship, a year-and-a-half of study at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse, where his classmates included fellow actors Gregory Peck, Eli Wallach, and Tony Randall.[2][3]

During World War II, Tobey joined the United States Army Air Forces, serving in the Pacific as a rear gunner aboard a B-25 bomber.[3] Throughout the 1940s, with the exception of his time in military service, Tobey acted on Broadway and in summer stock. After appearing in a 1943 film short, The Man of the Ferry, he made his Hollywood film debut in the 1947 Hopalong Cassidy western Dangerous Venture. He then went on to appear in scores of features and on numerous television series. In the 1949 film Twelve O' Clock High, he is the negligent airbase sentry who is dressed down by General Frank Savage (played by Gregory Peck). That same year Tobey performed in a brief comedy bit in another film, I Was a Male War Bride. His performance in that minor part caught the attention of director Howard Hawks, who promised to use the thirty-two-year-old actor in something more substantial.

The Thing from Another World Edit

In 1951, Tobey was cast in Howard Hawks' production The Thing from Another World. In this classic sci-fi film he portrays Captain Patrick Hendry, a United States Air Force pilot, who at the North Pole leads a scientific outpost's dogged defense against an alien portrayed by James Arness, later the star of the television series Gunsmoke. Tobey's performance in Hawks' film garnered the actor other parts in science fiction movies in the 1950s, usually reprising his role as a military officer, such as in The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) and It Came from Beneath the Sea (1956).

Television Edit

Tobey appeared in the 1952 episode "Counterfeit Plates" on the CBS series Biff Baker, U.S.A., an espionage drama starring Alan Hale, Jr. He was cast too in the 1954-1955 CBS legal drama The Public Defender, starring Reed Hadley. He guest-starred in three episodes of NBC's western anthology series Frontier. His Frontier roles were as Wade Trippe in "In Nebraska" (1955) and then as Gabe Sharp in "Out from Texas" and "The Hostage" (1956). In 1955, he also portrayed legendary frontiersman Jim Bowie on ABC's Davy Crockett, a Walt Disney production, with Fess Parker in the title role. After Bowie's death in the series at the Battle of the Alamo, Tobey played a second character, Jocko, in the two final episodes of Davy Crockett.

Tobey then, in 1957, appeared in the syndicated religion anthology series Crossroads in the role of Mr. Alston in the episode "Call for Help" and as Jim Callahan in "Bandit Chief" in the syndicated western series The Sheriff of Cochise. Later that same year, Tobey starred in the television series The Whirlybirds, a successful CBS and then-syndicated adventure produced by Desilu Studios. In it he played the co-owner of a helicopter charter service, along with fellow actor Craig Hill. The Whirlybirds was a major hit in the United States and abroad, with 111 episodes filmed through 1960. It remained in syndication worldwide for many years.

In 1958, Tobey also appeared as John Wallach in the episode "$50 for a Dead Man" in Jeff Richards's NBC western series Jefferson Drum. In 1960, he guest-starred in the episode "West of Boston" of another NBC western series, Overland Trail, starring William Bendix and Doug McClure. Also in 1960, he appeared as Colonel Lake on Death Valley Days and on ABC's western The Rebel, starring Nick Adams. Tobey made three guest appearances on Perry Mason, twice in 1960 and once in 1962 as Jack Alvin, a deputy district attorney. On the long-running western series Gunsmoke, he portrayed a cruel, knife-wielding buffalo hunter in the 1960 episode titled "The Worm".[4] Tobey in 1962 also guest-starred on another Western series, Lawman, playing the character Duncan Clooney, an engineer who seeks to move a shipment of nitroglycerin through Laramie, Wyoming. When the town is evacuated to allow passage of the explosives, two of Clooney's employees decide they will take advantage of the situation to rob the bank.[5]

Tobey guest-starred as well in Jack Lord's 1962-1963 ABC adventure series about a rodeo circuit rider, Stoney Burke. In 1967 he performed on the series Lassie, in the episode "Lure of the Wild", playing a retired forest ranger who tames a local coyote. He also appeared as a slave owner named Taggart in "The Wolf Man", a 1967 episode of Daniel Boone, starring Fess Parker.[6] A few of the many other series in which Tobey later performed include Adam-12 (1969), Gibbsville (1976), MV Klickitat (1978), Emergency! (1975), and Night Court (1985). Tobey also appeared in Barnaby Jones; episode titled, "Fantasy of Fear" (02/25/1975).

He became a semi-regular on the NBC series I Spy as the field boss of agents Robinson and Scott. Christian Nyby, director of The Thing From Another World, often directed those episodes. Tobey also portrayed a ship's captain on the Rockford Files, in an episode titled "There's One in Every Port".

Other films Edit

In 1957, Tobey portrayed a sheriff in The Vampire (a film that some sources today often confuse with the 1935 production Mark of the Vampire). That year he also appeared in a more prestigious film, serving as a featured supporting character with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, the co-stars of John Ford's The Wings of Eagles.[7] In that film, Tobey—with his naturally red hair on display in vibrant Metrocolor—portrays a highly competitive United States Army Air Service officer. In one memorable scene he has the distinction of shoving a piece of gooey cake into the face of John Wayne, whose character is a rival United States Navy aviation officer. Not surprisingly, a room-wrecking brawl ensues.

Tobey's work over the next several decades was increasingly involved in television productions. He did, though, continue to perform in a range of feature films, such as Stark Fear, Marlowe, Billy Jack, Walking Tall, The Howling, the war movie MacArthur (in which he portrays Admiral "Bill"[8] Halsey), Airplane!, Gremlins, Big Top Pee-wee, and Gremlins 2: The New Batch.[9]

Broadway Edit

Although Tobey had a busy acting career in films and on television, he also periodically returned to the stage. In 1964 he began a long run on Broadway opposite Sammy Davis, Jr., in the musical version of Clifford Odets' play Golden Boy. Some of his other Broadway credits are As You Like It, Sunny River, Janie, Sons and Soldiers, A New Life, Suds in Your Eye, The Cherry Orchard, and Truckline Cafe.[10]

Later years Edit

As his long career drew to a close, Tobey still received acting jobs from people who had grown up watching his performances in sci-fi films of the 1950s, particularly Joe Dante, who included the veteran actor in his stock company of reliable players. Two appearances on the sitcom Night Court came the same way, through fans of his work. Along with other character actors who had been in 1950s sci-fi and horror films (John Agar, Robert O. Cornthwaite, Gloria Talbott, etc.), Tobey starred in a spoof originally titled Attack Of The B Movie Monster. In 2005, Anthem Pictures released the completed feature version of this spoof on DVD under the new title The Naked Monster. Tobey's scenes in that release were actually shot in 1985, so The Naked Monster is technically his final film credit, being released three years after his death. He had, however, continued to act throughout most of the 1990s. One of those notable roles is his performance in the 1994 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Shadowplay" as Rurigan, an alien who recreates his dead friends as holograms. Among other examples of Tobey's final decade of work are his two appearances as Judge Kent Watson on the series L.A. Law.

In 2002, Tobey died of natural causes at age 85 in Rancho Mirage, California.

The Gospel According to Blindboy

The debut book from half of the Rubber Bandits, The Gospel According to Blindboy is a collection of 15 short stories of varying strangeness but universally good quality, and because I’m in charge of my own blog I’m experimenting by making this review a collection of thoughts I had while writing in it, in order, which means it’s basically an exercise in run on sentences, but it’s too late to stop me now. The fact that there are 10 points is a happy accident.

1. That alcohol, mental health and illness, family, death, sex, and relationships (but relationships that are fucked up or a have gone wrong or off the rails) come up a lot.

2. That this makes it all seem like a collection of fairy tales, which are pretty much all about the previously mentioned themes but gradually dressed up so grown ups felt comfortable telling them to children, because, I mean, if you strip back a story like, 'A man lost all his money and his family left him, until all he had left was his fridge, and he carried that fridge all the way to his hometown to show them all there, and then when he had done that he sold it to build a boat out of facts,' it basically could be a fairy tale, right?

3. That this sounds quite good but is also reductive because it leaves out a lot of the weirderies and bits like fingering the box off a banshee (although that is also totally a fairy tale thing) that make how smart the writer is crackle off the page at you, especially how every story will at some point do at least one mad left turn so it's going in a completely different direction but one that manages to still make sense given the start of the story, and sometimes makes enough mad left turns that it ends up going in the same direction it was originally but without you properly noticing.

4. That things are described using sounds and tastes and smells more often than what they look like, and sometimes lead to wild but instantly understandable metaphors like drinking liquor making you a volcano.

5. That when you realise this you realise everything in the book is happening now even when it's happening hundreds of years ago or one thing after another.

6. That there will be a large layer of this book that I will never be able to access because I'm not Irish, so I understand 'ride' and 'shift' and 'beure' and 'gowl' but not the exact feeling of disaffection currently experienced by young Irish people specifically and that my friend's band writes songs about; I know who Michael Collins was but that knowledge will obviously not mean the same thing to me as to the lovely people who invited me to a house warming on the centenary of the Easter Rising (where I stood in a kitchen at one o'clock in the morning as they passed around a teapot of booze dregs drunk via the spout, alternating between joyously singing The Corrs and joyously singing rebel songs, and creating a stark contrast to my own country's evolving national identity of 'Sort of a Shit Don Quixote Except If The Windmills Were Immigrants And Quixote Refused To Travel Anywhere They Didn't Speak The Language Or Have Proper Chips'), or who politely but firmly remind me that e.g. an English accent still counts as having an accent actually, and who are mostly saved in my phone with two different numbers for different countries.

7. That, all that being said, Arse Children – a story featuring a piece of erotic historical fanfiction where Collins and de Valera engage in secret sex ritual to secure the future of the nation – is one of the best stories in the book, partly because of the strange tangents in it like one delving into Freudian desires, but also because it's constructed shockingly well, to the extent that it deliberately raises odd points in the first section to then immediately call them out in the second in a way that makes you laugh for doubting Blindboy in the first place, and by the third is still related but almost becomes something else entirely (see: point 3).

8. That you don't expect the most relatable description of anxiety you've read to be in a story featuring Sam Neill dressed as Bart Simpson, and yet here we are.

9. That Blindboy Boatclub apparently had nothing to do with the title of the book, but I keep thinking about how all the other books called 'The Gospel According to-' are either explicitly about Christianity or are celebrity autobiographies like The Gospel According to Chris Moyles, and in this context, and given the content of The Gospel According to Blindboy, the title actually seems like it could be quite a good joke by itself.

10. That even though there are many interesting things to think about the final story it mostly made me want to eat a banana, but feel vaguely guilty about same.

"BANKER AND WIFE HELD ALL NIGHT LOOT IS $34,000," Toronto Star. September 10, 1943. Page 1. --- Five Men Rob Wheatley Bank After Long Vigil - Tie Staff Members ---- Wheatley, Sept. 10 - Holding W. P. Forshee, manager of the Royal Bank, and his wife prisoners in their apartment all night, five armed men with their faces painted and scarves tied around their mouths escaped today with between $34,000 and $35,000.

Provincial police headquarters said it was the biggest bank hold-up in Ontario's history.

The robbers entered the Forshee apartment in this town, 45 miles east of Windsor, drew pistols and forced the couple to sit quietly in their home from 9 p.m. until 4.30 a.m. Then they were taken to the bank, forced to unlock the door and kept there until the bank staff reported for duty shortly before 9 a.m.

In the apartment, the bandits are said to have appeared unconcerned. Their leader is described as a big man, 35 to 40 years old and about six feet, one inch tall. He wore a knitted helmet and a green smock and carried two valises into which the money from the bank vault was dumped. The others were described as younger men and much smaller. varying in height from five feet eight to nine inches.

The younger men addressed each other as Casanova, Beau, Buck and Pat. No name was given the leader. All wore gloves, never removing them, even when lighting cigarettes. The manager's wife was ordered to make tea and sandwiches in her kitchen for the robbers. Two of the men stood over her with their guns drawn as she did so.

The staff. Mrs. K. McLean, Miss Jean Tait, Miss Alta McClellan and Yates White, were tied up. When the time clock on the vault went off at 9 o'clock, the robbers forced Mr. Forshee to open the door and scooped up all the money. While waiting, they had discussed escape to Detroit, and warned their pris- oners not to leave the bank or to tell anyone of the robbery until a half hour after their departure.

After taking the money, the five ran from the bank, jumped into a car and headed west on No. 3 highway toward Windsor.

Inspector George B. MacKay of the C.I.B. has been sent by provincial police headquarters. Police said they are hampered by the fact that only a vague description of the robbers has been received.

GM's Map #71: Santa's Hideout

Publisher: Gethsemane Games

Put some magic back into your Christmas with the jolly man and his elves.

Hidden away in the north pole is a strange little arctic base, a mixture of the whimsical and the practical. Here the legendary creature Santa lives with his wife, his legion of Elves and his unruly pet Krampus's, Krampi?

This map will take you to this magical place with its Reindeer enclosure, Sleigh hanger and air traffic control elves, its underground factory and hidden Elven village as well as the creepy Krampus kennels.

Is all as it seems in the northern hideout of the supposedly saintly Santa? Or does a whimsical facade hide a darker truth? Well, that's up to you as the GM but perhaps some of the adventure hooks included can help you decide which way you want to play it. Either way, you will have fun!

Some examples of the adventure hooks included:-

6/. Tally Ho Ho Ho Boys!

Flight control detects one of the drones, 'Santa 6' returning early on an erratic flight path pursued by Penguin piloted attack aircraft. It looks like the South have finally invaded the north! As sirens blare out across the pole Elf gun crews race to their anti-aircraft snowball cannons as the drones scramble to take off and intercept the incoming killer penguin attack aircraft. The problem is the drones are all armed with their present launchers - only designed for peacetime air to surface present deployment. The ground crews have to race to re-arm them with air-to-air glitter cannons in time. "Wing commander Rudolph to all wings, bandits at 4 O'clock. Tally Ho-ho-ho boys!"

7/. Krampus Nacht

That troublesome Krampus has escaped again and most of the elves have locked themselves in their cottages. They are refusing to come out until the creature is safely rounded up and put back in its kennels.

The party are the braver elves, helping Santa to round up the grouchy Krampus and get it back into the kennels without harming it (or themselves).

Map making can be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating for GMs, especially GMs with limited time to begin with. In our new 'GM's Maps' range, we will be providing a range of pre-made maps for you to use in your games

Readings for 3-25

Sermon: Should We Have a Weapons Parade?

Thesis: Christ calls those who follow him “to ride humble donkeys” and to put aside all claims power as a statement that God endorses humility.

Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29

1 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

his steadfast love endures for ever!

2 Let Israel say,

“His steadfast love endures for ever.”

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,

that I may enter through them

and give thanks to the LORD.

20 This is the gate of the LORD;

the righteous shall enter through it.

21 I thank you that you have answered me

and have become my salvation.

22 The stone that the builders rejected

has become the chief cornerstone.

23 This is the LORD’s doing;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day that the LORD has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save us, we beseech you, O LORD!

O LORD, we beseech you, give us success!

26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD.

We bless you from the house of the LORD.

27 The LORD is God,

and he has given us light.

Bind the festal procession with branches,

up to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;

you are my God, I will extol you.

29 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever.

Reading Mark 11:1-11

1 When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’”

4 They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, 5 some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields.

9 Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting,

“Hosanna!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!

Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

11 Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Gospel Mark 15:1-39

1 As soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. They bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. 2 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “You say so.” 3 Then the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 Pilate asked him again, “Have you no answer? See how many charges they bring against you.” 5 But Jesus made no further reply, so that Pilate was amazed.

6 Now at the festival he used to release a prisoner for them, anyone for whom they asked. 7 Now a man called Barabbas was in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8 So the crowd came and began to ask Pilate to do for them according to his custom. 9 Then he answered them, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed him over. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead. 1 2Pilate spoke to them again, “Then what do you wish me to do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” 13 They shouted back, “Crucify him!” 14 Pilate asked them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him!” 15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.

16 Then the soldiers led him into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters); and they called together the whole cohort. 17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak; and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on him. 18 And they began saluting him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 They struck his head with a reed, spat upon him, and knelt down in homage to him. 20 After mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

21 They compelled a passer-by, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross; it was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus. 22 Then they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). 23 And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots to decide what each should take.

25 It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. 29 Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 In the same way the chief priests, along with the scribes, were also mocking him among themselves and saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32 Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down from the cross now, so that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also taunted him.

33 When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “Listen, he is calling for Elijah.” 36 And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.”

37 Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 Now when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!
