One thing I did in my second go-round was to draft my wife to take Torrent's responsibilities in the early part of the game — the opening pitch at the Poisoned Apple, leading the way to Seaquen, etc. You could see if your husband wants to do the same sort of thing. This keeps the size of the...

I think "Volatility" would nicely capture both the wild magic and the barbarianness.

Nelle has a sculpture of a dragon and an eagle chasing each other in a circle. That'd work with the theme nicely and foreshadow their visit to her shrine at the mouth of the white river. I keep thinking it should be a magical wreath (worn on the head), but since it's only supposed to be worth...

It's the Wheel of Exalted Cheese! (See, I told you it's there for the puns. Build an artifact around that name and you're set! :geek:)

You do understand, RW. I'm not surprised you don't recall, but maybe a more recent reader does. Zooten is one of the five gnomeling fighters working for Clan Millorn, "working as muscle and assistants, having little initiative in the course of this adventure." So, I wrote them up with the...

As a nod to Harrow the Ninth, I suggest its powers only become apparent when it's used to make soup. That, or it's just there for the puns. "Wow, that's really strong cheese!"

One of my players has offered to put together some NPCs for other reasons. Since he's playing 3WR, and that's the next chapter (they've still only just started exploring Castle Korstull), it makes sense that he'd know some of the people from that area. Is there anything in that chapter that the...

Just to follow up on what transpired -- Dämmek checked once more for trillith after getting into the great foyer, detected nothing, and never followed up beyond that. So, I guess they won't go on a horse-killing rampage anytime soon. To quickly summarize the last session: After a difficult...

I panicked at the stone golems and had Jorrina arrange an orderly tactical withdrawal, so everybody got relatively clustered together -- and, so of course, that's when detect trillith comes out. The power, incidentally, is from the Slayer prestige class in 3.5 -- not nearly as detailed as the...

Hi, everyone, I seem to have put myself in a bit of an odd corner: One of the PCs has the ability to detect trillith and detected one near the entrance to Castle Korstull. The detection ability is pretty limited -- it only lets you know if there is a trillith within 60 feet -- but it wouldn't...

Dramatis Personae Basel, an Innenotdaran (aka grey) elf evoker from Gabal's school with his familiar Simon, a cat from Seaquen's docks. Dämmek, a brainy and brawny human swordswoman with keen senses and the Living Blade, and her pet rock Skullcracker Lucius, a human wielding a pair of short...

They seem to be having fun, for the most part -- I'm more worried about how some of the combats are going slow than anything. There were sections earlier where there was a lot of frustration about not being successful (the Remhorhaz Incident being the most, er, clearly expressed). At this point...

One question that the players have discussed in email -- what is the Shahalesti presence in Bresk? Uhm, uhm...I'm tempted write them out somehow, but it's a reasonable question....

Ratzofftoya, also keep in mind that, for good or ill (but probably the latter), Torrent is perfectly designed to overcome the grand challenge at the end of the second chapter for 3.5e, at least if they do it Tiljann's way. If your party is a bunch of weaklings, it might be helpful to have her...

It's the same group of players, it's just that some of them weren't happy with their characters. Jesús was a monk/spontaneous cleric and the player, being very new to the game, was a having a hard time figuring out how to play the cleric side. We swapped spells around a time or three and he...

Dramatis Personae New this session Lucius, a member of the Gate Pass resistance headed to Seaquen to hook his group up with the Lyceum. He wield a pair of short swords and a silver tongue. and Seda, a spellcasting Seela, sick and tired of singing, with her mountain lion companion Smoke. Basel...
