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

    I'm mainly just having to convert the classed NPC's, and even that's not complicated. It's a little more effort with sorcerers, clerics and barbarians. Some of the stat blocks have the NPC's "pre-buffed" and we're using the 5 buff rule, so I have to alter that some. The feats and spells have...

    I would like to express my gratitude for some of the kind words over on Wobber's thread regarding my story hours. You remind me just why I started writing these in the first place, and why I continue it. Thanks again to my players, without whom this would be impossible.

    No, he doesn't, but he makes a wonderful major domo for Fort Rannick, and he'll take good care of Reaper's 'army'...

    LEGACY OF SIN The cavernous room reeked of rotting fish. The walls were covered with carvings of complex spirals and were smeared with blood, as was the floor and ceiling. Crude chairs and benches scavenged from disparate locations were arranged in a half-circle facing west, where a soggy...

    SHIP OF FOOLS The ancient hulk of the suspended caravel creaked and groaned ominously as the companions stepped from the catwalk onto its deck. Nothing moved on the bare planks, and only one entrance could be seen leading to the interior of the boat, a single door near the bow on the port...
