I've got the opportunity run a D&D campaign for a new group, and I'm trying to determine if it's a good idea or not. My brain's not been at its best these past few months, but this might be just the thing to kick-start it again. On the other hand, running for seven people is sort of pushing my...

See, this I would argue. We had our first Skill Challenge in our game last Friday, and it succeeded in convincing me to make more regular use of them. In brief, for a variety of reasons -- mainly involving a goblin-rights organization and their planned blockade of the docks -- the PCs decided...

What would your feeling be on a Gnome Rogue? A fugitive from justice, and a refugee from the Feywild, he's wandering the world, learning and stealing as he goes....

The little man steps forward, smirking a little, and makes a low bow to the robed silhouettes. Too low a bow, one might think, to indicate the proper amount of respect. "I am Brummagem," he says, straightening. "Brummagem the bold, Brummagem the brilliant, Brummagem the bloody. I have been...

Darv sits on the ground, rubbing his temples and wincing. "That hurt more than seems reasonable," he groans. "I've never felt anything like that before, and would much rather not experience it again. Ever." He looks up, flinching slightly at the sudden motion. "We need to determine some...

It is becoming clear that, no matter what else you can say about Darv, he is NOT a lucky man. At all. He'll need to stay well away from games of chance, methinks.

Taking a deep breath, Darv slides down the rope...his eyes widening as he sees the glowing Mind Flayers. "Hell and damn," he whispers. Taking a deep breath, he bellows out, "Strike at their tentacles! They're particularly sensitive, and they cannot bear to have them injured!" Dark Knowledge...

Darv comes awake with a start, fumbling for his spectacles. "THis is no way to wake up," he complains, as he begins casting a spell.... Initiative: 16. Cast Barkskin, in lieu of donning his armor, and allow the others to exit first. Can't use Dark Knowledge until he sees what he's dealing...

"I can take the first watch," Darv offers. "I'd prefer to sleep above, in safety, however."

(The server doesn't like me today -- double post.)

"Just a scholar," Darv assures him. "I hold no holy offices. I lack the proper temperment, I fear. And if you can do something about our eastwhile watcher, please -- do not hesitate! I've not been able to have much effect upon his scrying."

Still staggering a little, a now much healthier looking Darv rejoins the party. "A pleasure to meet you, Master Hudder. And if you can use that axe half as well as you sell, I'll be even more delighted to know you. It's been a rather rough few days." He turns, and bows in Domoris' direction...

"This has not been a good day," Darv sighs, wearily. "Who remains wounded? I can do something about that." He winces at the pain of his own wounds, and sits down to the ground with a groan. He listens to the conversation, nodding absently. "We should indeed find this dwarf. After attending...

"Burn," Darv says flatly, as he finishes his spell. This time for sure. Flame Strike Dire Apes 1 and 3, with extreme prejudice. Whatever that means. 34 points of damage, Ref DC 18 for half. And I think that I deserve extra XP for not telling them Damned Dirty Apes to get their stinking...

Back by the corner of the wagon, so yes -- I had that reversed....

With a yell of pain and dismay, Darv clicks the heels of his boot together and vanishes....only to reappear a short distance away, pale and trembling. Use the Boots of Big Stepping to teleport to 20, 12 as a standard action. I don't *think* that this provokes an AAO, but if so let me know...

So preoccupied is he with the consideration of his Entangle spell, Darv is taken entirely susprise by the sudden looming presence of the ape behind him. Leaping frantically backw, he begins to stutter his way through an entirely different spell.... 5' step back to 25,5 and cast Flame Strike...

"I can slow them down, at least!" Darv calls, as he begins another spell.... Cast Entangle at 21, 26, DC 15 Reflex save.

"Can't someone just...hit them over the head, or something of the sort? I'm...well, I'm afraid that I'm not very good at *not* killing people, under most circumstances. And we really should question them, I think."

How is the other team doing? Have they suffered similar attrition? If so, comibning the two games might be an option.... If not, I'd try to recruit a few more. It's the curse of PbP, sadly. Few games manage to survive, for whatever reason.
