I hope this is the right place for this thread.

Very interesting sample chapter.

Figure I would share it...

 

[Dioltach]

Not to start with the Elminster bashing, but I'm beginning to feel more sympathetic toward the villains.

 

[Jimlock]

Especially when he leaves Shadowdale to it's own fate and misery once the Zhents step into town...

Bury Elminster Deep

I only wish they would.

 

[Ulrick]

"Elminster's archenemy, the vampiric Lord Manshoon, thinks he has destroyed Elminster at last. But Elminster survives in the form of magical ash..."

oh for crying out loud.

Is the ash floating around like a cloud? Or is Elminster kept in a cremation jar? I guess I'll have to read the book to find out... or not.

Yeah, I strongly suspect that I only care enough to mock this book.

Jesus Mary Sue Christ, what will it take to get rid of the biggest DMPC in D&D's history?

SS: With Bury Elminster Deep coming out next year, how many books do you foresee in this set?

EG: Six and three.
That is, like Bob, I have a contract for six books (Drizzt books for him, mine involving Elminster).

Yeah, I don't think Elminster will die in this book. There's five more books after this one.

Edit: wait, that might mean 3 more books. Hmm, wonky math at work here.

But Elminster survives in the form of magical ash, and with the help of his scion and the vestige of the long-dead goddess of magic

Ass pull.

Have to spread some XP.

Now if everyone does what I'm going to do, that might see him off. Don't buy the D@## book!
