That is indeed the up-side. About 5 of the students have appeared in game since then, and one of them has become a major NPC. And the rest will definitely still be there when the party finally gets back to Dar Pykos... but I'm getting ahead of myself. It's not that I don't want help. I just...

>sigh< So there I was, with a list of twenty Mages Academy students. I had worked out all their names, personalities, inter-relationships, what they knew about the scenario, and what clues they had that could lead the PCs to the real culprit. I figured they'd ask Amelia if any of her fellow...

Well, not quite whenever you wanted. You'd have to wait for them to ripen. There's nothing worse than a green lobster.

Just for the record here, folks, I'd like to be clear that I wasn't playing Dennis that evening. Like they say, you can lead a PC to a brothel, but you can't make him... um, you know. No, the delicious part about this moment was that Dennis was being played by Thatch's player's...

Well, a battle-axe tends to improve one's bargaining position... :D

And strangely, all I can think while reading this is Vitreous humor would make a great name for a band... Welcome back, and congrats on all the marriage stuff.

Our theater has assigned seating, which is nice, as we don't have to show up until 5 minutes before it starts. Of course, we also already know we only have mediocre seats, so there is a trade off...

Ours were $40 for three movies and parking, but given their usual rates, that actually saves money over seeing the three separately. According to www.theonering.net there's some other theater in California charging $25 per movie, for a whopping $75 for all three.

Turned out not to be an option out here. According to my friend who was in line, the big LA theater showing them sold out in less than an hour.

A ship?! I got a ship named after me?! That rules! Actually, it's a little creepy. No, wait. It rules! NOTE: Shara, of course, has never used the phrase "That rules!" in her life.

Sorcerers are spread pretty much equally through all the churches. There may be a slight bias for Ehkt and Sedellus, but any of the gods can provide comfort to one dealing with the trauma of discovering their new abilities. Those who turn to Alirria do so out of a belief that they are a part...

The PCs hit 2nd level right before this adventure. For the record, they're going to hit 5th level after our next session this weekend. As for magic weapons in the Halmae... none of the PCs have ever seen one. It's known that weapons can be enchanted for a brief period of time via spells like...

Well, the party needed a temporary wizard, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to give them someone that would make them really yearn for Hue's return. Personally, I love Edmund. He's one of my favorite NPCs to play. He's one of those characters that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to play right...

Tell you what: you get yourself out here, and I'll get off m'butt and run it.

If ye be callin' a fair lass like spyscribe "scurvy," ye'd best hold yer tongue, else I'll slit it from yer gullet and hold it for ye, don'cha know? :p (>sigh< One of these days, I'm really going to run that Pirates of the Halmae side-campaign I've been dreaming of...)

>sigh< So, out of the blue, I had about 15 minutes to figure out why Hue had vanished, 'cause I thought that even tho' the players knew he wouldn't be there, the characters would need a reason not to look for him, roleplayers that they are. So I worked feverishly and came up with an...

And here - have an evil, Vergdunian priest for the campfire, too! :D

Well, it certainly merited a lot of sweat from the DM. I'd been counting on Thatch to drop these guys at roughly the rate of two per round. I was not looking forward to a TPK on the second adventure.

>slams head repeatedly on desk< So there I am, reading the description of the alien, blithely thinking, "Hey. That sounds kinda like E.T. What a coinci-- waitaminnit..." Finally got to this thread (after years of PirateCat telling me to drop everything I was doing and READ IT RIGHT NOW), and...

Ahh, yes. That's how it happened. Now I remember. That was really quite funny. So, porthos, apparently neither of us is as clever as you think we are. :D Y'know, looking back over this explanation, it's pretty clear I should have just said "yes" when you asked at the beginning. >cough...
