Apologies; I missed that you'd started the RG thread somehow. I'll post G'Sharn in a moment.

"That I will," G'harn agrees. "It's a stain upon the sands, this place." G'Sharn grimaces, disgust plain upon his face. "Still stinks," he mutters, glaring about the bazaar with his hand hovering near the hilt of his scimitar. "What now? It's a lot easier when there's tracks to follow."...

A troubled Darrick considers his sword for a moment, turning it slightly to catch the light, before sheathing it with a sigh. So much for my "skills" he thinks sourly to himself. I may as well not even been there, for all the use I was! Not again, dammit. Never again. I need to push...

"Well," Darrick says into the sudden silence, "That was certainly...painful." Limping forward, he looks over the others. "Is everyone more or less all right? And are they likely to be any more of them?" he asks Ducerne, "Or was this the lot of them?"

In a quiet moment, if any such exist during the caravan's journey, G'Sharn will approach Shub'Nagal and ask to speak privately to him for a few moments. Should the holy man agree, G'sharn will then show him the scrap of cloth upon which he copied the symbol and ask him if he recognizes it.

It Depends Upon The Game, frankly. If I were to run something based upon, say, the Black Company books...yeah, death is cheap and easy and all too common. But I'm unlikely to run that kind of game, no matter how much I enjoy the books. D&D death, in my opinion, should be meaningful. Cedric...

G'sharn frowns, looking towards the South. "Majoor," he says sourly. "Such a surprise, that these killers should be headed there. I can almost smell the stink of the place from here." Pulling a piece of burned wood from one of the wagons, he uses the charred tip to draw a crude copy of the...

I prefer giving the PCs more than just one action point, but everything really depends on what kind of rules you're using. Right now, for example, I'm using a set of action cards cobbled together from a couple of different sources. Get three per session, spend 'em where and how you want, and a...

Or, put in the player's hands. Want an extra Action Point when you really need it? Take a setback -- you run out of arrows, your sword breaks, your horse steps in a gopher hole, whatever fits the circumstances. Although I'd be more willing to make it an auto-success in exchance for a setback...

No, no. He's an alchemist. So, sure he *can* fire a flaming crossbow bolt...or he can fire a glob of resin (Web), a blast of flame (Cone of Fire), peer through the scope to determine the presence and nature of a magical aura (Detect Magic), or use it as a rocket engine (Flight), and so forth...

You just need to shift your paradigm a bit. My own wizard, the one in the story-hour thread linked to in my thread, uses a specially deisgned crossbow to work his magic. If he's disarmed, as sometimes happens, he's all but helpless. Effectively, it's one big spell component. You can so that...

Let me share with you a Truth: Different people want different things. I was, briefly, a player in a game where the PCs were, essentially, pirates. With an airship. During the first session, one of the players wanted to nail down exactly how much of a percentage each member of the crew would...

Oz, oddly enough, had a number of sentient constructs...the Tin Man not being one of them. Tik-Tok(*), the Scarecrow, Jack Pumpkinhead, Scraps the Patchwork Girl, the Sawhorse.... I'm probably missing some; I'm not really an Oz fan. They ain't warforged, but the principal's the same. Point...

Muttering a steady stream of curses, Darrick advances and makes a swift thrust at Janus...only to feel his foot slip in a puddle of blood, and his sword skid harmlessly across his foes armor. Rapidly recovering hs balance, he shift his weight to his other foot and takes up a defensive stance...

G'sharn snorts, as close as he seems to come to laughter. "I think that I might come to like you, Asad. Like Dirk, you cut right to the point." He crouches down next to one of the corpses, tracing a wound with one finger. "But what's the point of this? Who is it that's trying to cover their...

"Excellent," G'harn snarls, "We can finish this now." He paces off to the side, to a flanking position with Dirk. His scimitar remains sheathed at his side, but his hands are twitching, moving almost unconsciously through the gestures that will conjure Magic Fang.

"You're not getting away, Janus!" Ignoring the pain of his wound, Darrick moves to follow his foe. "It's over, damn your eyes!" How much damage did Darrick take from Janus' hit? You forgot to put that in the summary, I think. But in any case, full speed ahead! 5' step to 7C, or move to...

G'sharn rises to his feet, brushing sand from his hands "Does it look as though they were heading towards the Obelisk itself? Or simply skirting it? "I've never liked this place," he adds, scowling at the offending stone. "It's not...natural."

"A man of few words," G'Sharn observes. "An admirable trait, that." Without further word, he changes form and follows Dirk.

"NO!" Darrick roars, moving to Catherine. "Face me, coward!" 5' step to D7, to stand over Catherine. If Janus is close enough to hit (as I'm assuming), Darrick will strike him. If not, whichever foe is in reach. If there are none, feed a Cure Light Wounds potion to Catherine. C'mon, I'm...
