    Protectors of the Elsir Vale

    The three had just begun to dig into their meal – a honeyed ham to Feare’s delight – when there was a knock at the door. Vargas rose, marching to the door and pulling it open with a practiced look of schoolmaster’s disapproval. A stocky, wild-haired dwarf stood on the stoop, leaning on a heavy...

    Eladrin were not a race known for their stalwart and impressive builds. And, even for an eladrin, Nalkyr did not have an imposing cut. The Tempest technique called for a kind of litheness, a lightness of step and quickness of foot. It was, Nalkyr supposed, a double edged sword. The buffeting...

    Protectors of the Elsir Vale

    Cillian didn’t bother knocking on the door to the modest two-story house before he entered. He rarely remembered. Vargas, for his part, had long ago stopped caring. At least this time the ranger was expected. “-bsolutely absurd, frankly!” came Vargas’ voice from the sitting room. “I am...

    Protectors of the Elsir Vale

    This is going to be my first attempt at a real chronicle of a game. I am usually the GM in my RL ones, and to try organizing any account beyond my notes is usually an effort too far. This, however, has been my first RL experience as a player in years. I thought it therefore deserved a little...

    Nalkyr drew his feyblades, giving them a short spin. He agreed with Marrgash's sentiment. This whole adventure had proven thoroughly unpleasant. It started well- the dance of steel had favored the eladrin over the brutish barbarians they had first engaged. But Nalkyr was learning to fear and...

    I COMPLETELY missed the Rythm Blade. Which page was that? That's awesome, I'll be using that forthwith.

    Nalkyr felt tired. Not the tired that drew one's eyelids down - though the eladrin was half-lidded, certainly. It was the bone-weariness of the spirit. The kind of infectious malaise that made Nalkyr's limbs feel like lead. It was despair, and something the young eladrin was thoroughly...

    Blood and sweat soaked Nalkyr's vestments. His palms sweated - despite the cold - and his grip on his feyblades felt greasy. Still, there was a member of the group in danger, and Nalkyr saw little option to it. Tempest against swarm. For all Nalkyr's usual confidence, things had not gone his...

    The eladrin withdrew a step as Caim struck down the creature. He refused to, even in his own mind, give it the dignity of a name. The dignity of a gender or even a race. It was a creature. It had tried to make slave of Nalkyr and the tempest he wielded. There were few things that could cut...

    Recognition of his current state came flooding back to Nalkyr, the same way sensation might return to a limb that had fallen asleep. Metaphysical, uncomfortable pins and needles. The young eladrin realized with no small amount of distress, that he was bleeding. And realized, too, who was...

    I'm fairly certain at this point that I'm on a drastically different timezone than everyone else- it seems like every time I wake up I've already been holding the game up. To that end, so long as Nalkyr is still charmed you can assume he will be using Total Defense. Unless I think of something...

    Nalkyr felt the painfully elusive tug of deja vu as he stepped out of the brambles. As though he'd been here before- either with the beautiful eladrin female, or... but it was gone. The young warrior looked down at his arms and legs - deep scores from the briarpatch cross-hatching through his...

    Welp. Nalkyr is hosed for at least another round- Fey Step was the only thing in my repertoire that could un-charm him. Anyone have any ideas to make him remotely productive?

    Something was not right, though Nalkyr could not place his finger on it. Something about the eladrin female- the one who exuded a reassuring familiarity. Nalkyr's palms itched to fight for her. He wanted nothing more than to tear into those who would oppose such a beautiful and kind creature...

    Merp. Forgot to change it on the Map. Fixed; Nalkyr used 1 surge and is currently at 21hp.

    D&D lovers who hate Vancian magic

    I've actually always been a fan of Vancian magic for reasons which I will admit up front should by no means be considered legitimate. A lot of people seem to dislike the sometimes arduous resource management of higher level Vancianismisting. I concur, it is sometimes quite a bit of work. If...
