Thanks for another fine writeup there Mr Eccles! :) Was a very Grimloc and slaughter heavy session there... nasty little gits! Think Darminicus and I ought to write up a bit and explain how we arrived at the party with a scroll of remove blindness... there's a method to it!

Very true! IMO, a good DM is one who's sessions I enjoy. There's lots of different ways they can be good. My fave thing is if there's something (constructive!) for me to think about between sessions - whether it be complicated plotlines or what the hell do we do now? If you want a proper...

I love this storyhour :) Hope you managed to find a use for your 11 pages of notes? Partial to a bit of recycling myself...

I'm really liking this campaign... however it does seem quite lethal so far. Think if the players misjudge things, then it's likely to result in plentiful deaths? In other words, not sure how newbie friendly it is? OOC, we found out that particular encounter could have been a lot worse! :eek...

Sounds like just the ticket... do like the smooth face - it's a good and unpleasant look. And the final finger and toe removal finishes it off nicely! I guess when they found that out, they might not be so happy about the 3 'free' wishes they'd just grabbed themselves? :)

There's a trick in the exotic weapon master prestige class (Complete Warrior). Can't recall what it's called though. IIRC - it needs to be with a 'hand and a half' weapon - bastard swords and waraxes - can't think of any others off the top of my head. I'd go with a katana myself - think the...

I did run across one of these situations that amused me. One DM I played with had a 'solution to the problem' in 3.0 - in situations like the OPs - covering someone with ranged weapons gave you a big bonus to hit and target had to make a DC 15 fort save or die. Those mobs of low level guys are...

If the PC had the right social skills or magic, then escaping without a fight isn't going to be a problem? If it came to combat, then I'd visualise a high level PC as having incredible reflexes. More than enough to dodge some measly crossbows. Escaping from situations like you describe is...

I like this answer... Apart from the bold bit. The worst stuff always happens to the survivors. :)

Hehe - so are you going to be a paladin questing to be a dread necromancer again? :) Certainly more original than hunting for the holy grail or what not... You sure they wern't having a joke with you?

I have a funny feeling they errara'd both those stones and rods of metamagic. Make them work for spontaneous spellcasters. But I may be remembering falsely! :)

Nice write ups there guys! :) Good work to Dave for filling in the missing chunk. Torvig's death was a painful one - the cleric critted with that mace of his. Then proceeded to roll 2 8's - really poor luck (for poor little Torvig). But what can ya do! :) For me, the highlight of that...

It was one hell of a hectic session... Think things would have gone much better for us if that boar had stayed locked up. Was a real horror to fight... Although in fairness, it was behind a locked and chained door, so we'd have certainly opened it at some point. Might have been a treasury or...

That's a good couple of taglines there :) Use them for the film version of the story hour? :) Great stuff again Mr Eccles!

Oh, I don't know! We could come to some other arrangement. Double XP shares for me perhaps? :) Sounds like a very good idea. TBH, it's my preferred method of doing things... just makes thouse feats much more attractive to share.

The problem with the taking prisoners angle is that you've got to do something with them after you've finished interogating them... and IME, some people would say slitting the prisoners throat is not lawful or good behaviour? Depending on many campaign specific variables of course. Quite...

Hehe - and we're doomed! As a small spoiler - Due to unforseen circumstances our characters couldn't get nearly drunk enough to take on the next adventuring area. Can it end well for us? :) And Supaida, it's one thing you havn't really seen - the story is from Evans point of view. We've sat...

You do get a cake. Unfortunately it is the Cake of Death and you will be forced to eat it.

Thinking about it, we could practice our adventuring skills - you know, kill things and steal their stuff... the town does seem to be fairly well populated right now? Or more seriously, we could try getting some local adventuring work before moving on? Sure we could all do with some ready cash...

Ask and ye shall recieve! :) Same goes for craft skills. So, it's only a TN of 62 for the 31 gold. :)
