    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    HEROES Ratbone sniffed at the base of the door for several seconds before stepping back, a low growl in his throat. His companions knew his mannerisms well enough to know a warning when they saw one. Herc stepped in to the fore, tried the knob, and cautiously pushed the door open. Within the...

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    Well, as the fickle Alabama weather so often goes, the snow melted and we did play after all, so here's a little teaser.. 1. A new ally is discovered unexpectedly within the Dead Warrens. 2. The search for the missing Shoanti goes to pieces...literally! 3. Rolth is not in residence, but...

    Well, no teaser this weeks, folks. We've had a few inches of snow here in the Deep South, and it's sidelined our game for the week.

    HIGHS AND LOWS The rumors were vague at first: a suspect had been named in King Eodred’s murder. As with most rumors, however, they continued to grow, and also held more than a grain of truth. It seemed that in the weeks before his death, Eodred had commissioned a self-portrait by a local...

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    We did indeed game last night... Once more, the K.I.A was called upon when the city's tensions threatened to boil over, this time to arrest the king's murderer! The diplomatic approach fails to net their quarry, so begins a fast and furious chase across the rooftops of Korvosa. One crisis...

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    I'll start fresh with the next update, which will have to come next week, since we didn't play this week due to the aforementioned stomach virus.

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    An excellent question. The main reason was time. I found myself getting really behind with RotRL, and it was a way to expedite things. However, I would be interested to know what people think about the two styles. Personally, I'm feeling that there's something missing, and I'm not conveying...

    URBAN DECAY Field Marshal Kroft was thrilled when her agents handed over the Cheliaxan ambassador’s letters, though there might have been a tinge of something else in her expression as well when she heard that Devargo still lived. Disappointment? Perhaps. In any event, she had no further...

    Nope, the gang did not find out about the "other white meat." They pretty much got in and got out. As for the timeline, James Jacobs did address this over on Paizo when others questioned the speed at which everything went to Hell, and like Doc Simon said, things were already brewing in...

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    IN HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE Eodred II’s health had been declining for some time. That was common knowledge, but his sudden death had caught most of the castle off guard. Rumors quickly began to spread on the streets that he suffered from some disease beyond even the priesthoods of...

    Did Joachim mention that he's playing Ratbone, the most exalted do-gooder of the bunch?

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    I like this group of characters. We've got a good mix, with two of the PC's exalted, and two CN, bordering on evil. Should be an interesting interaction.

    JollyDoc's Rise of the Runelords...Updated 12/22

    I actually liked this one. Kind of a throw back to 1st edition and Against the Giants. It's pure dungeon crawl at its finest.

    So you've met the League, the Legion, and even the Sandpoint Seven. Now, allow me to introduce you to K.I.A....the Korvosan Intelligence Agency (perhaps they'll have better luck than their predecessors). THE EDGE OF ANARCHY 'Ratbone', Half-Orc Druid of The Five Companions * 'Ratbone' was...

    JollyDoc's Rise of the Runelords...Updated 12/22

    I did enjoy RotRL's as a whole, though there was a bit of a disjointedness to it. One adventure did not neccessarily lead seemlessly into the next one. This was especially true with Sins of the Saviors. It really felt like a railroad, without any clear-cut reason for the PC's to be there. In...

    JollyDoc's Rise of the Runelords...Updated 12/22

    RISE OF A RUNELORD The Sandpoint Seven continued deeper into Mokmurian’s library, battling through a pack of extradimensional “hounds” that lived within the angles or reality. Beyond these guardians, the companions found Mokmurian himself. The stone giant sorcerer had barricaded himself...

    JollyDoc's Rise of the Runelords...Updated 12/22

    Yes, I decided to synopsize for the sake of expediancy. It is my dearest hope to have the update posted tonight. Then I'll begin CotCT, which we played our first session of this past week. I will be writing CotCT as more of an adventure log, again for the sake of expediancy. I also plan on...

    JollyDoc's Rise of the Runelords...Updated 12/22

    Sins of the Saviors turned out to be an unexpected meatgrinder for the players, and by the time it was all over, the consensus among them was to step away from RotRL for awhile. Our plan is to begin Curse of the Crimson Throne next week. The way SotS's ended left open the possibility of...

    JollyDoc's Rise of the Runelords...Updated 12/22

    Where do I begin? It is with my deepest regrets and sadness, dear readers, to inform you of the premature conclusion of Rise of the Runelords. Yes, the Sandpoint Seven have come to the end of their journey, and the finale was as dramatic and action packed as their beginning. From multiple...
