Sins of Our Fathers - 2/10 - Final Update

[Capellan]

I know it can be hard to tell with these elves, but I am pretty sure Amelyssan is a guy.

Though since Vath died, anyway, the point seems fairly moot ...

Destan,
had you actually planned for the cricket/ ankheg scenario from when Vath's player first learnt of the prophecy? If so... wow.
This story hour has now been going for just under eight months, yet in that time it has been the most entertaining of any that I have read. Thank you for writing it, and allowing us to read something better that many published books, for free. It is strange to think that the characters haven't even met Loroth yet, if this is just the beginning of the campaign, then I can only imagine what the rest of it would be like.

Yeah, both my bads. I keep screwing up on Amelyssan's gender. Really, it's because the only elves I've ever played with were female.

It might have been fun if the ring had worked though. Think, Vath with a small piece of Amelyssan's soul. That could have been odd.

Heh,

It's been almost three years since the events in this thread have taken place and we STILL haven't come face to face with Loroth yet. Well, I should say, we have met him, we just didn't know we met him. Destan is pretty sneaky in that way. Our current top priority as a group is to ferret out who exactly Loroth is. We're getting tired of him knowing our next move before we make it.

Noooooooooooooo! It can't be over!

Then again, bloody good story, Destan. I kneel before your art, unworthy.

Looking forward to your next project.

I have to say that that's the closest I've ever come to shedding tears over a Story Hour. Still, I've got to admire the honesty it takes for a DM to let the dice fall where they may, even if it results in the death of a PC.

Bugger this. You sure you aren't George Martin in disguise? I feel like the end of his last novel. All the main characters are dead or missing. Very good story, one to remember. Will you post a link in this thread when you start your next one?

 

[DrZombie]

D... D...D.... Double post

 

[The Axe]

Or, better yet...

Or, better yet, Vath with Amelyssan as a 'spirit child' (like Baden's)...

Vath felt life swirl and explode within the very core of his being. The smell of horadrel, the smell of Amelyssan, was in his nostrils.

His eyes snapped open, his mouth cried a shout of rage, his muscles bunched once more.

The ring did work. Amelyssan gave Vath the rest of his life force (hit points) just before he died, allowing Vath to kill the Anhkeg.
