Unless you are really doing Hogan's Red Wizards, I think they get a clue about a cleric from the holy symbol and stuff. If they capture the PC's then presumably they'll search them. Clerics and wizards would be pretty obvious to Thayans. Something like a Sorcerer would be less obvious. It...

Depends on alot. From Unapproachable East, the Red Wizards seem as competant as the Germans in Hogan's Heros. And PC's do have a tendency to fight to the death rather than be captured, but I'm sure you have the saps all ready for them.;) You could also have the Thayans fight each other, a...

When he can grant divine spells to his clerics, I'd say he's probably a god. Just being powerful doesn't seem to do it or Elminster would be a god, instead of an annoying old man.:) But this also depends on the campaigjn world. In Forgotten Realms and other games where spells are granted by...

Vlad took out a few daggers and laid them close to hand before going to work on the terrified Octopus gang member, using the kusari-gama as a hammer to drive the daggers in, crucifying the man against the wall of their hangout, blood already flowing as he made sure the man was securely held in...

Well, worst case scenario is indeed the PC's saying 'Heck with this, he can finish this job himself.' and going home. I can sympathize with wanting the PC's to take action at times. But having an NPC show up to give them a kick and some wisdom doesn't seem as effective to me as having some bad...

Akebono was freak, very tall and powerful to go with his sheer size. But Musashimaru? Only 10 Basho and he regularly got owned by Asashoyu, who was half his size. At present all the best wrestlers are in the 300-350 range. The 400+ lbers are all rank and file save for Musashimaru, and he's...

Vlad went limp in Nezu and Fireblossom’s arms, the poison finally taking full effect. He’d be no help in this fight. In fact, Vlad was still perfectly aware of what was going on around him. He could see, hear, feel…but he could not move his body an inch. Looking back, there were four men...

I have a certain fondness for sumo. It's one of very few fighting sports that don't require a weight limit because balance and agility is just as important as size and strength.

An update now that the basho is at the halfway mark. Asashoryu leads with 8-1, but Chiyotaikai, Kaio and Wakanosato are right up there at 7-2. Toki and Buyuzan are also at 7-2 but I'll be very surprised if they keep up the pace now that the tournament is entering the toughest stage. Asashoryu...

Fireblossom coughed, staring at Finafin “You have to be kidding…” “Oh no. It’s a fascinating story, really. Your friend was quite the homicidal terror, I’m given to understand. A bloodthirsty little bastard who fit in here very well. But he made one crucial mistake. He tried to kill...

Too true. And that will be corrected. Though now that I've mentioned it, I suppose I can work in a stable for elves later.:)

A few thoughts. I'm sorry to see the Sac-Dallas series over. It was the most fun I've had watching a series for some time. Both teams play a fun brand of basketball and it would be nice to see other teams picking up on this. For all that, I'm still thinking the Spurs will be tough to beat...

Things were going very well for Mongo and friends. The Yabanjin barbarians drank vodka like it was water. Mongo, Taz and Nezu weren’t left in much shape for real intelligence gathering, but Ming was still lurking there, stone cold sober and taking mental notes. He found the Yabanjin...

“The samurai who does not keep his mind fixed on death, even though he wears a sword, is nothing but a farmer or a merchant in warrior’s skin.” Daidoji Yuzan. “Hello there. I’m Malachai.” The mini sized Half-Orc said, a grin showing his fangs. Thumbs hooked into the belt of his leather...

I actually started watching sumo back when Wide World of Sports would occasionally show a tournament. I first watched Chiyonofuji, so it's inevitable that I'm now a big Chiyotaikai fan. Most of the watching I do is actually on the webcast they do live for every basho. No commentators but at...

I still have Rogue's first issue sitting in a box someplace. Very cool. It might have changed at some point, but the original explaination was that Ms. Marvel fought back against Rogue so hard she ended up holding on for too long and the transfer was permanent. As well as messing up Rogue in...

Thanks! Though my storyhour isn't lost in the ether, I just had to fix the link. I just added an update tonight. What a Rokugan storyhour could have to do with FrED is beyond me, though.:)

And let's be honest. They aren't going overboard with the special effects so far. Iceman has never 'iced up', Colossus only held his metal form for a few seconds. The power level in the movie in general has been lower than the comic books, and super strength seems very uncommon indeed.

Yep, good start. And always loving to see a Champions Storyhour. Keep up the good work.:)
