No, nothing at all. I've always imagined that a Lich re-forms next to the phylactery, so you'd have to have some way to get back to wherever you wanted to be from wherever you stashed it. Other liches, like Martak from the LoT, might regard their phylactery as a fetish object, and kind of...

Yes. :) But I think you're also bumping up against a narrative difference between the TOEE2's shorthand of "Lucius makes threats against the party, but in the end they decide to return to Hommlet," and the more dialouge-heavy LoT.

Unkown Date 62: Goooooooooood morning, Wonderville. Heydricus is the first to awaken. He is lying on a low, unadorned stone bier. His bones ache, and he feels like his head has been pulped, condensed, strained through a sieve and stuffed into an undersized container. His first thought is...

I can relate-- I gave up trying to tell a little bit of fire years ago.

78—What killers think about in the dead of night. As the party regards the physical and spiritual carnage within the duergar city, a bizarre howling begins to rise, coming from the far gates of the City of Mists. Within moments, the howling is repeated from several more sources, forming an...

I imagine we'll have to keep killing him until we get his phylactery, his Goddess, or both.

Okay, so now you're down to 23 things on that list.

Camp, or "cheesecake on purpose" is a staple of "modern" art, from Lichtenstein forward . . . done intelligently, and wittily, with a clear intent (clear to the artist, if not necessarily the veiwer) it lends itself to satire and social commentary. On the other hand, when work is campy...

77—Sadly, fighting with and fighting alongside do not always mean the same thing. The party regroups within the city just out of darkvision range from the guards at the entranceway. Taran and Merkatha relate their intelligence, and Elgin states the obvious. “We’re attacking the tower.”...

“Always go kill the glowing thing first."

Here's the problem they ran into with Chainmail, and it's appearing again-- a D&D branded miniatures game leads the TTRPG fan-base to belive that the product is produced for the TTRPG. Somewhere along the line Chainmail became a "not compatible with D&D, but we'll call it D&D anyway" game. It...

It's not a problem, Joshua, it's a feature. . . . And I read the Company of the Red Kestrel.

76—The Cavern of Mists Elgin is unable to instantly restore Taran, having cast the last of his heal spells on Gorquen, but after several lesser invocations, Taran reports that he is healed enough to continue. Merkatha examines the body of the dragon in awe, commenting that this was not the...

How much is a new SpaceBaby? Say, standard model, basic features? One of the things that really limits NPC villains is the need to keep their magic item total low. If the Iuzians were built with the same sort of resources that PCs are assumed to have, there'd be a lot more Good-aligned blood...

Um . . . probably?

Hey, thanks for the votes of confidence, everyone. I've just shared them with the demonic entity that possesses my body when I'm DMing, and he finds your support . . . well, he actually finds your support alien and utterly incomprehensible, but he is a metaphysical embodiment of pure evil. I'm...

And this is a problem, because . . .

And I should also point out, for the record, that I have no problem with PCs using all avaliable spells and tactics to their maximum efficiency. That said, my one gripe is that it the relative power levels of a pre-buffed and a post-buffed 3e party are *so* radically different, it becomes a...

This is entirely true. What the Liberators are slowly finding out is that Iuz *does not care* that they've been wasting His clerics willy-nilly. The Old One has other concerns on his necrotic and worm-ridden mind. The Liberators will find themselves in trouble when they reach the tipping...

I don't actually feel that way. This is just a literary conciet-- a homage to the same passage in the TOEE2 game (DMed by Heydricus' player) that presaged a similar event/series of events. So it's kind of a backwards-refrencing foreshadowing smart-assed thing to say. Kind of an insult...
