Well, that pretty much depends on whether you ask a Justicar or a Druid... :) Reyu was able to understand the bear because she cast a spell, speak with animals, which... well it, pretty much does what it says. This doesn't have any effect on an animal's intelligence, it just lets you...

Unlike the rest of us... :) The party was third level at this point. There are seven party members (Reyu, Thatch, Eva, Anvil, and Lira as PCs, plus Dennis and Benedic as NPCs), and Lord Agasha (who is something like Ftr 3/Aristocrat 4). The adventure was written for four 4th level PCs. I...

Thanks for the kind words, Carpe. And my I just say that your handle keeps getting funnier every time I think about it. The Sovereignty was, more than anything, inspired by the 3E Oriental Adventures Handbook, which I had recently picked up. I found that book incredibly inspiring; so much so...

Well, it's not exactly anything it's done, it's more just the way it is. It's the demanding looks it often throws at Hue. It's the way it occasionally rubs its little ferret paws together, for no apparent reason. It's the creepy way it looks at you, like it's plotting your demise. Just ferret...

Well, I haven't yet. Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Let me tell you a story about 10' poles... When I lived on the East Coast, I used to be very active in a LARP group. Well, one game, a bunch of us decided to come as the Clichedians-- a group of horribly cliched characters straight out of the 1st Ed. PH. One of our guys went through the 1st...

>sigh< Well, it was my first *actual* dungeon crawl (not counting sewers). Besides, I find stirges to be at least moderately ecologically plausible, unlike, say, a gelatinous cube, which only makes sense if it evolved on a battlemat. And yes, the gang's all fine. Hope yours is, too.

Thanks, dog. I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm afraid my brain is in use at the moment. Actually, for this particular bit of brilliant elegance, the brain you really want is that of my happily-soon-to-be-wife, WisdomLikeSilence. She plays Reyu, and did most of the leg-work on developing...

Hey, everybody. Sorry for the recent delay. Consider it our summer hiatus. We've got the next update almost ready to go, but in the meantime, here's a preparatory sidebar. Before our heroes reach the Miyen Elves, it might be helpfuly to know a thing or two about Elven culture. Thus...

Ahhhh. Thank you. Much, much better, indeed.

My problem is this: I can tell what's hot and what's not, but I can tell that from the # of replies and the # of views. What I can't tell is what's new and what's not, and that's what I want to see at a glance. I don't doubt that this is a functionality change, but frankly, it's focused on the...

DM screw it up? Are you kidding? I'd been counting on those dwarves as the relief column, 'cause I didn't think the PCs could take on all 30-odd goblins by themselves. I was sweating my @ss off, trying to figure out how to keep that frickin' entangle from turning this into a TPK. Fortunately...

I did think about it, but chose not to for a couple of reasons. First of all, I was already playing two NPCs, Denis and Benedic. Second of all, the thing I liked most about Moira's character was her inner journey, trying to figure out what facet of Alirria was the best one to suit her. That...

Alas, poor Moira. She was one of my favorite character concepts of all time. But, unfortunately, her player was only with us for a single summer, and we didn't proceed *nearly* as far as I thought we would in that time. When she left I needed a quick way to write her out, and this was the...

Thanks, doghead. Glad you're enjoying. I had a lot of fun this session. "Steadfast the Just attempts to out-Anvil Anvil" was about all my notes said. And no, fortunately for the PCs, slavery is not legal in Noran. I honestly can't remember why I wasn't Hue's hook that started the brawl. I...

To be fair, I do seem to recall a scene where Emilio Estevez speculates that aliens might have directed the comet at Earth so that the machines would kill all the humans, thereby allowing the aliens to re-colonize the now uninhabited planet. Good lord, I can't believe I just leapt to the...

This game was titled, in my notes, "8 Ways to Start a Bar Brawl". I had a different hook for every member of the party to possibly be the one dragging them into the fight. I was quite curious to see who it was gonna be... :)

Well done, orsal and blackshirt. Noran names are indeed Shakespearean. Paris is indeed from Romeo and Juliet. Bonus cookies for you.

No reason for me to jump in when you've handled it pretty ably. :) Sufficed to say, any resemblance between Noran and the Normans is purely coincidental. As spyscribe said, there is a naming convention for Noran, but it's fairly unconventional and it's cribbed from something a friend of mine...

One might think, as a former Handmaiden, that Moira would be used to people directing things to her chest. Moira: (pointing at her eyes) Hey! Buddy! Bolts up here. :lol:
