Ah yes, the Old Sage .... well, enough about him for now. Why would the title make you think that the adventure has anything to do with the Lower Planes?

It was a joke about the fact that when something happens in Shadowdale, the Old Sage must be sent elsewhere (in the shadow plane, in Hell or in search of the Srinshee, etc). |

Ah gotcha. The written word often doesn't communicate such subtleties of expression. I'm sure there's plenty in store for Elminster, both in and out of the dale.

BTW, even if my written English is a lot better than my speaking one, my first language is French; that may explain why I'm something hard to understand.
On topic now, Shadowdale being "untouchable" without exiling Elminster first is one of the common example used by FR-basher, what do you think about that?

As I'm sure Manshoon said in some sourcebook somewhere.. 'What about Storm?'
Bit early to be making predictions on what's going to happen, really. But if it continues the big story with Shar and Cyric, then I'm sure that both Elminster and Storm will be playing some part in the adventure. Doubt it will be a simple 'Move the big guns out of the way' exercise. |

Funnily enough, Uzzy, one of Ed's oldest friends dropped in and visited Ed years back, while we were running a Realms play session. She "sat in" and played Storm at Ed's invitation, and when Torm (as full of mischief as usual) was trying to settle a baldric around her and grinned that he "couldn't quite see what I'm doing," Storm told him with a wink: "'Twill be far easier, little Groping Fingers, if you move my big guns out of the way."
Ahem. 
love,

| Baker, Boyd and Reid huh? Well, I suppose it has to be good then |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

Being a CND myself, I am overjoyed to see that our nation now has two price options! I bet the 37.95 version has pictures in it!  |

Elminster is hardly the only "problem". Shadowdale is home to FOUR Chosen of Mystra plus the Knights of Myth Drannor.

Because the others, and many of the Knights, were elsewhere. See Ed's Tears so White in the elven anthology. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
