No, you're not imagining things. At least not this particular thing. Yarrick Zan first appeared in "Enemies and Allies," the 3.0 splatbook of NPCs. He's the only NPC in that book that ever managed to find a way into one of my games. I still want to use "The Claw" some time because they're just...

Chapter 39 The poisoned crossbow bolt tore through the air toward Rhys like a shark bearing down on a wounded seal. The cleric seemed unaware of his impending doom, getting ready to cast another spell. Before the first words left his lips, the bolt hit. With a clang of metal, it skipped off his...

Haha, well I don't think you have too much to worry about, Pinotage. The game's going to take the characters all the way to level 20 eventually, so it'll still be around by the time you get back. :) Chapter 4 "Do you have any idea what this was?" Davi asked, peering curiously at the broken...

Chapter 38 "To one end, Taigiel!" Rumar barked, whipping Pergium out and thrusting it skyward. "I will stand guard at the other!" A burst of light and faint music issued from the sword as he said this, its presence helping to soothe scattered minds and uncertain arms. Metal-encased feet dug...

Chapter 3 Though some confusion still lingered on how what was supposed to be a four or five-man expedition blossomed to include eight people, and who exactly invited who, everybody was eager to get underway and see what the Whispering Cairn might hold in store. Each person there had lived in...

I was surprised I had such a big party, too! I had originally set the limit to six players, but I received so many requests to join the game within 24 hours of its creation that i let in a few more people. We actually started off with nine (!), but one had to drop within the first week of...

Chapter 2 Davi Knockdoor greeted all those within the mine office with an amiable nod. The halfling woman was neatly dressed in her priestly vestments, a deep scarlet in hue, though a thin layer of armor encased her form beneath the robe--a special provision for tonight's festivities. Davi left...

Chapter 1 A chill wind blew around the building in the distance. An abandoned mine overseer's office, lain fallow now for decades, in the hills outside the decrepit mining town of Diamond Lake. But tonight it would bear witness to more visitors than it had seen in a long time, for a meeting was...

"Since the beginning of history, humanity has measured time in Ages. Ages of Glory, of Dreams, and even of Great Sorrows mark the human tally of years, giving a sense of order to the events of past centuries. But one age has yet to occur--an age of darkness, of decay, and of writhing doom. Witty...

Sweet, thanks for the sing-a-long bump. In other news, I've started another story hour based on my Age of Worms game at PBW. You can check it out here. And now an update...I think I'm doing pretty well with this once-a-week deal. Chapter 37 Terenon looked over in shock as Grundar’s neck...

Mmm, almonds. Healing potions are red; the thicker the potion, the more potent it is.

I didn't say anything was wrong, I just found it amusing. No offense meant. :)

I find it kind of amusing that your signature was longer than your actual post. :) Thanks for your kind words. <modest>I do what I can.</modest> We've still got a long way to go, so keep reading; I'll try to keep the updates coming on a semi-regular basis.

Chapter 36 Across town, Grundar, Terenon, and Taigiel had found their way to the residence of one Lasom the Large, a gnome scholar and sage. He kept a rather extensive private historical reference library, and he kept tabs on the area more than most people, so he would undoubtedly be the best...

Chapter 35 Latona was quite rural, backwater some might say, with little in the way of development. Its architectural style was one of function more than floweriness, and it was very blocky and efficient when compared to the graceful majesty of Silverymoon. The citizens, mostly human and...

We've seen a few groaners over the years. Human Fighter: Cid Vicious Gnome Cleric: Maximus Lawn Blue Dragon: Guacamole (Don't ask...) I don't get credit for this one, but for anybody who's played "The Standing Stone," a vrock bard named The Cuckoo? That's ridiculous. :) These three from the...

How did you think the ice golems knew where to find you so quickly? The adventurers actually encountered Oftir later on in the adventure, and I had planned for him to taunt them and reveal what he had done, but Jelani decided to use touch of idiocy on him before he could do so. So...yeah. :)

Glad to be back. :) Since the last update was so short, here's another one. Chapter 34 The next morning, Terenon cast a spell of scrying to gaze upon the area outside the town of Latona, a few miles out. He didn't know much of the town's inhabitants, but it was likely they would be surprised...

Chapter 33 "If we were just going to teleport to Baldur's Gate to begin with, why did we spend the day walking across the tundra? Perhaps next time you should speak of your plans before we waste time trekking across the winterlands. The skirmish with the giants could have easily been avoided."...

I'm running it as a PbP here if you want to check it out. We just started a few weeks ago, but it's going very quickly for a PbP game; they're already almost done with the Lair of the Architect.
