50d6!

Actually, that's not bad. I assume NWM has over 5 per HD and a Con score way above 20 (a +5 bonus). Even if all 50 dice came up 6 he would still be standing.

I think I'm going to commission another piece of art for the SH. Any suggestions of who or what should be depicted?

It got kinda big, so the folks at Dog Soul kindly let us use their forum. It has spawned a number of other threads:

A second update, excellent!

I'm going to have to go back through the threads, since I think that I postulated something about the Cults of Chesne taking the purification of Khu as a first strike of sorts---they well may be viewing this as a justified, provoked war....

Mostin transcendant. Again.

Nwm's first She is tired of your interference in the courtyard at Deorham.

Eadric cutting down a Duke of Hell in mostin's basement as two others watch on from within thaumatugic circles.

The circle of eleven Cheshne-disciples, performing a ritual.

Art suggestions:

The death (implosion?) of Soneillon, on the Afqithan battlefield.

The purification of Khu by the celestial host.

The magic items: Lukarn, Githla, the Looking Glass, the Web of Motes, Nwm's staff, etc.

Every time I read this story hour I'm reminded of how unintelligent I really am. Sep, you're on a level far beyond my capacity to emulate. I'm in awe.

How did the players work out whose plot-line gets advanced at any particular session? Is there some kind of round-robin order? Or whomever yells the loudest? Or roll a d20 and see who wins?
This is something I'm very curious about too.

I think a lot of the sessions are actually done by email. Which means that players get as much one-on-one time with the DM as they need.

Oh, and thanks everyone for the suggestions for the subject of the next artwork. I'm thinking of another Mostin portrait; with pseudopod and a truly grotesque Mogus, and maybe Gihaahia and the Claviger. A scene with multiple figures would be nice, but the cost for artwork is generally per character.

I have sent emails to Storn and Geoff Nelson- hopefully I'll hear back from them soon.

For art, I think Nwm's assault on the army would be pretty wicked. Especially if done in a medieval style, similar to:



Add more green and black to the pallette, and place the POV somewhere higher (near Nwm's alititude) and more vertical, and you'd have an impressive and terrifying piece.

Cheiro,

If it is not too much of an imposition could you perhaps provide a new comer to these parts with a link or three where Sep's tale is/are compiled as a single unbroken thread, if there is one.

Thank you.

DS.

Certainly! I used to have the link as my signature, but I got discouraged after a 6 month dry spell.

Various bumps, questions and comments interrupt the main line of the story, but there is a much higher signal to noise ratio than anywhere else.
