Story Post: Day Six |
The general air of the monastery at Passignano is hushed—a storm front has broken over the hills. The arrival of the sergeant of the guard has done nothing to decrease the tense feeling that the discovery of murder has brought about. The abbot had announced the morning after his arrival… |

Welcome to Blognomic! |
Welcome Thelonious to Blognomic! Quorum remains nine. As a new Monk at the Abbey, I ask you to take a Vow of Silence to show your humility and dedication. I will draft a proposal to add some more functionality to the places on the map as well as stations tomorrow.… |

Unusual slowness hereabouts |

Bucky and Elias IX are the Lector and Herbalist, respectively, as long as they remain active and in good standing. I intend to edit the map ever so slightly (and perhaps add different areas, accesible through some judicious editing of the movement rule) by this time tomorrow. I have received… |

New player, idles. |
Welcome Cavaliere Pugrins to BlogNomic! I’ll e-mail you your GNDT password presently—have fun, and, erm, try not to meet with an untimely end this game. Also I ask that as a new Monk that you take a Vow of Silence as is customary of all new brothers. Predisastered idles; quorum… |
