Encounter: Great Hall Begin Round Five

To Valda's surprise, the old bear was stubborn enough to force its will over the power of her stone rune. It chomped down on her leg and tried to drag her from her feet. She stood, hoping on one leg while trying to pull herself free from the bear's jaws, and slashing at the the hill giant...

No worries. I've just been busy making characters for teaching purposes.

Yes. You chould show a "traditional" marilith pic to your party while they're negotiating with her, but when they cross her and a fight breaks out, she comes at them looking like the new one.

The story that immediately jumped out to me is that Demons, much like Devils (and often Fey) like to hide their "true nature" behind disguises. They'll look pretty when they're pretending to be pretty. But we now have some art that it closer to their true nature. I say closer, because I would...

It's cool. Looks like one someone made up. A little low on HP, IMO, but maybe they're trying to keep combat running quick, which I can't fault them for.

Yes, I know that you wanted me to run Doc, but I didn't see that we were making it so far that I couldn't just leave him "in the background" until you returned and posted a catch-up from his point of view. Had you been gone longer, or had we made it further, I'd have mentioned him again, but it...

Yeah, that works too.

Huh. I'm surprised many of you don't like those covers. I think both are really great.

Yeah, it's just a way to get them to their expected damage output without adding too much burden on the DM (and the complexity of the statblock) by making some other more-complicated (but perhaps less "gamist") way of getting there. Call it "Maglubyet's Blessing" (for the Hobgoblin) if you need...

That's true. But he still has a kind face. It just turns into a creep, but not what I think of as Bond. But you're right, he'd pull it off somehow.

I kill him and take his stuff!

Talk about "be careful what you wish for". I was engaging in that conversation as an intellectual exercise. I do think that it could be done well (Bond without Bond) but I also think that there's a really good chance that they will screw it up (the phrase: "Exploit the IP" always worries me -...

I had read that, but I forgot until now to post my reply. Thanks for the prompt. Never be shy to nudge me. Here you go. It's possible, if you get lucky, to find him again with the eye - just tell me if you want to send it further on (and what direction) or wait (and where).

Morgan's Arcane Eye was unable to keep up with the messenger. It followed him as quickly as it could, spotting him as he rounded the corner from the Duke's Way onto the High Road, but as the road zigged when it passed through the Shanties, the eye was unable to keep up, and it lost him as it...

The Gates of Howling Crag ~11am on Starday, 27 Patchwall, 576cy. Donnell, Gimlak, and the Colonel approached the gates of Howling Crag on foot. They were a humble delegation, and it had been a long nearly five-hour hike in high winds, first down from their campsite over the gorge, and then up...
