Well, I've moved house, helped two other people move, and now have 1 rank in "carrying things that are useful in building a house". Oh...and I was sick most of last week. It was a busy summer and it's not quite over but I wanted to get at least one post in this month. I'll be away from the...

Exploring Religion “One…two…three…heave!” Kellron and Jared grunted with effort, lifting the massive oak beam that barred the double doors leading to the main courtyard of the temple. Straining, the two warriors carried the bar back far enough to allow the doors to swing freely and then...

Might it have been Lady Despina's Virtue? If so, it was by Sepulchrave who split the story hour amongst many threads. Cheiromancer was kind enough to collect it all here.

I picked up four cases and the distribution was pretty even for me. I'm only missing the blackguard mounted nightmare, the magma hurler, and the redspawn firebelcher. I did get four spiders, but I can use those so I'm not unhappy.

Moving is heck. Being involved in 3 moves and a house building is worse. I'm not going to be able to update for awhile - probably not until late July or August. Just thought I'd let people know that I still plan on updating things - just not soon. :(

The Welcoming Committee Shifting from the meeting room with a brief exercise of his will, Balraj led the charge from under the cover of invisibility. The devil’s destination was a narrow ledge high above the floor along one wall of the nave. A cruel smile crossed the devil’s lips as he...

Welcome to the boards! And thank you for the kind words. I won't apologize for making it interesting - but I will sympathize for the lost work time. ;) I'm about half-way done with the next installment, but life seems to keep getting in the way. My own projects at work are also piling up so...

You can also try having the character kidnapped. It could make for an interesting diversion for the other characters to go rescue the guy. Afterwards, assuming he survives the rescue attempt he can then go on a journey of self discovery or retire. In one game where I'm using this the rescued...

Looking back over my notes I can see that I didn't run forbiddance properly. Balraj never should have been able to teleport out of the nave. It's been a couple years since we ran this session and I'm not sure if I did it on purpose or not. I think it worked okay in the context of the game and...

Hurried Activities Balraj seethed at the intrusion even as he fled through the astral places of the desecrated church. Some would call his flight cowardice but Balraj viewed the retreat as an expedient necessity. He had little doubt that he could defeat the mortal Sarathians now that he was...

yes and maybe. :D The boards were restored to the state current as of Dec 29, 2005, and we're all thankful that Spoony Bard and Twin Rose got us that much. Per the front page they may have a more recent backup but they're not sure yet how good it is.

Piffle (whatever that means). It's a fine explanation, but the real explanation is that both Sep and PC posted. The board did exactly what I would have done and shut down. :D

My thanks as well. As others have said, you guys rock.

That was the last update before the board crash. I apparently didn't actually save the last page of posts, so I reposted from my drafts. Also, cutting and pasting like this lost the formatting. I'll be going over the posts as time permits and updating. The next post has been in the works for...

Temple Services There’s probably a way to describe what happened next. Indeed, the verbalization of the prayer used to ward the nave and sanctuary of the Cathedral would provide enough technical detail to anyone versed in spellcraft. For the lay person however the only informative description...

Shattered Siege I can’t do it. I just can’t do it. I’m not going to refer to the two avorals as Bob and Fred. :( ---- A light powder of snow was falling in the early morning as Jared invoked a prayer heaven-ward from the rear courtyard of the Deverex mansion. The priest knew they would...

It’s the next morning for the characters, snow is falling lightly. Preparations are made to break the siege of Latina’s Cathedral. Jared’s Player (JP): After we finish getting our spells I want to use the two Planar Ally spells to summon…<flip, flip, flip>…how about two avorals. We want them...

Odds and Ends The heroes made two quick trips before they were to meet with Jaylissa at her house. Their first trip was back to the warehouse to check on the body of Halloran, the dead monk. They quietly stripped the monk of the few magical items in his possession in order to prevent the...

Heh. I like your version of Murphy's Law. It does sometime feels that way. You're correct that my players will generally give an enemy a chance to talk - however that chance usually expires with the first poisoned crossbow bolt and/or lightning bolt. I don't think my players have ever pulled...
