Heroes of the Borderlands, Part 18

18.  Here is one way to give your player characters a logical reason to adventure around the Keep of the Borderlands.  I would have the king or queen of another tribe of kobolds, who live a seven days journey from the river valley tell the PC party this:

“An extended family of kobolds were deceived to move to the Caves of Chaos.  Then, once they arrived at the Caves my fellow kobolds were murdered by an evil priest, to be turned into zombie kobolds.  I will pay your party four hundred gold coins (can be negotiated to pay up to 800 gold coins) if you destroy all the zombie kobolds for me.  Two of my strong bodyguards, Verdad and Falso, will join your group to make sure that all zombie Kobolds are destroyed.  My two bodyguards will fight to protect themselves and your party members in a quest setting my friends and family free from their undead existence.”

Yesterday, I attended the ‘Hands Off!’ Day of Action protest held at the Duluth City Hall Plaza, Part 2.

I agree that “We are Democracy” and the other side is dictatorship.

I would love to someday buy an engraved brick that says, “Buchanan Family Loves Duluth”.

Yesterday, I attended the ‘Hands Off!’ Day of Action protest held at the Duluth City Hall Plaza.

On Second Street, I walked by this snow bank on the way to the protest.

I could not agree more with that statement.

I see that the Voyageur Lakewalk Inn sign is still on the parking ramp.

The alley next to the parking ramp and the under construction Lakeview at 333 East Superior is being used as a work zone.  Thus, I could not get closer to the sign.

Duluth Street Art

I found this litter and vandalism beside the Western Bank in the Sellwood Building.  For those unfamiliar with Duluth the Sellwood Building is located on 202 West Superior Street.

Another blizzard, the falling snow kind, has come to Duluth.

I see that HRA offices are closed.

In addition to all those events being postponed; Cathy at the First Presbyterian Church texted me a message to tell me that she cancelled the scheduled five PM dinner and bingo.

I found more abandoned food

I found this abandoned food next to the Encounter Youth Center Building that is the home to the Cozy Hen Cheesecakes.  Abandoned food is something that I think that I could find featured in Half-Life 2 and again in Half-Life: Alyx as a random food resource in City 17.

I have thought that Half-Life player controlled characters should be able to restore health by eating ordinary food and drinking soda pop.  There should be easy ways to measure hunger and thirst, as well as simple game mechanics for eating food and safe to drink liquids.

I found this State Farm advertising sign

This bus bench sign is next to the Plaza Shopping Center, located at Second South Twelfth Ave East in my home city.  I think there should be more private advertising that supports public transportation.

As for the graffiti, Susan Crawford’s winning her Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a beautiful victory for upholding the law, while protecting the basic rights and freedoms guaranteed to Wisconsinites under the Wisconsin state constitution.

I bought a bottle of Faretti Decadent Biscotti Chocolate Biscotti Liqueur

People love to eat chocolate cupcakes and those are a type of bread.
