I think the biggest problem with the "he could do it all by himself, but didn't want to" theory was Saruman's tower. He had no relevant witnesses, and he clearly wanted to be there for Frodo and Co., so it wasn't a matter of his desires. That scene is also probably largely responsible for the...

Ah. I see the point about epic-level fights taking forever, especially since my campaign's now online to make things take even longer, but I'm surprised that the cohorts at least are still that vulnerable, which is why I'm curious about their levels. Using standard Leadership rules, a cohort...

What about a hydra? Those things are brutal in 3.5. And the way Dru handles Leadership is interesting. Care to elaborate on how you work it, Dru? And what level are some of these companions/cohorts? Sounds like it was a good game. When can we expect a recap?

The Eye of Nerull: Stone Eye Solid The next morning, the party prepared their spells and their disguises for the next day. “I don’t think we can all appear as undead,” Tal pointed out, “even with magic. We could try more mundane disguises.” Bath shook her head, “We can’t risk anyone...

Interesting. But I was also generally curious of the level or ECL of the more unusual followers. Not so much the familars, but the cohorts and such. Also, how were some of them obtained in game terms? I know about the familiars and Valenthe's shadows and animal companions and such, but what...

To be fair, it was less a discussion on Bolo screwing up and more a general debate on the morality of summoned trap bait. I found it interesting because your group is the first one that I know of that really gave the process long-term consequences. Even good parties in my experience have used...

Hmm, interesting point. But do Elementals feel pain in the first place? It's not like they have nerve endings. I'll have to think about that for a bit. Not that it matters in the case of the Badger, Badger, Badger, etc. situation, though. Of course, that begs another question. Is it...

Do you use an unusual rule form summons? By the default rules for summonings, the creatures don't actually die; they just get sent back home none the worse for wear. Now when you call a creature, using Planar Binding and/or Ally for example, the death is permanent. And Zad, I wouldn't be too...

Ugh, high-level spellcasters. I usually just copy-paste the stats from earlier ones I used and change a couple spells at this point. So what did you end up doing to the siege crabs?

Uh-oh, I was afraid of this. It sounds like Zad at least is apprehensive about this upcoming adventure. Care to share with us how you altered the ToH for epic-level characters? Is the lethality level anywhere near what Zad is thinking?

Well, there's always the "stock up on Bags of Tricks or wand of summon horribly doomed Celestial Badger" trick.

Just doing the next "So, are you playing this week, and if so, I'll need more info from Dru in the Rogue's Gallery if I can help you in time" update. :)

You know, I thought Break Enchantment also could be used to fix petrification. And I have to admit I'm surprised that Stone to Flesh isn't also a divine spell.

So what exactly did the two really easy fights consist of? It sounds like they went pretty quickly. Oh, and did the party bring any allies with them, or is that era pretty much over and done with? What level is Meepo and the party's various familiars/shadows/companions/cohorts at now? Oh...

Oh, and thanks for the kind words, Oaxacan and Neurotic. I appreciate your responses. I really do wonder sometimes how many people generally read this thing, and it's good to hear from the readers sometimes. As for the Dark Moons, let me just say the plotline just started revisiting that...

Well, I bet it's still superior to being called Emperor Hentai. With a name like that, no wonder he was so mean. :)

It sounds like people agree that Refracted beam is way too powerful for a non-epic spell? I was thinking more or less the same thing, but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'll pass Syndrome's method for the arrows on, but I thought there were some standard magical arrows without the +1...

Hmm, I'm having a bit of a mental block w/ the crabs. Could you tell me a bit more about what you want for them? What CR are you aiming for? How many are there? And what about the owners? Do they have any particular race, class, alignment, elemental aspect, or something ability to help me...

I'm pretty sure that was It's Walky, actually.

I probably won't see RotS... Nah, I can't back that up. But I do plan on waiting until the first weekend.
