Dead William: Glad you liked it!
Deus: Yup, it's just the thing for a nice bedtime story to settle your kids down for the night - plenty of monsters, evil witches and bloodthirsty vengeance! Those Grimm guys would be arrested if they were alive today, I'm sure...
stnylan: Er... I hadn't heard of that theory before, but you never know - maybe the witch could turn into a sturgeon as well...
J.Passepartout: What, and ruin the livelihood of thousands of tourist tat retailers throughout the Highlands? There would be an uproar!
coz1: Thanks - I will be sure to check out the said Incident at Loch Ness.
Lord J.Roxton: The great thing about fairy tales is that absolutely anything goes, and you can build in a ready-made justification for the most unjustified gameplay. Of course, it doesn't help your in-game reputation though... Incidentally, Etain of Ulaid got a pretty bad press in the story compared with her part in the game. She was a perfectly loyal member of Duncan's court, had nothing wrong with her, was not assassinated, and in fact only just died, having survived (as Loch Ness Monster!) for some years after Duncan's death!
Fiftypence: In fact, bringing in Nessie was the "inspiration" that got me going again, and thus saved the AAR! Now I've used up the most famous of Scotland's myths and legends I'll have to start unearthing some lesser known ones.
Well, I've been playing through Eume's reign and things are developing nicely. Thanks to all for posting!
