    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    The captain bows in appreciation and ascends the gangplank. The Irregulars follow, excepting the lone piskie who has to bid farewell to his trusted and beloved steed. The Piskies quickly spread out and begin investigating every inch of the ship. A majority of them remain with the Captain...

    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    The Irregulars have finally found the docks. The mob that left the tavern has calmed to a surprising degree. The march mostly in formation. Their spears, pikes and swords gleam in the sun. It does appear that one of the piskies has managed to saddle a stray tom cat and is riding it towards the...

    Captain Dartmoor smiles and bows to the dwarf when asked about keeping his men in line. "Of course we know how to behave in polite society. They may need a few reminders between here and there, but rest assured. They'll get them." As the others begin to filter out, so too do the Irregulars...

    [Adventure] To Serve a Dragon: Act 1: A House is Not a Home (Judge: stonegod)

    "I"m going to guess somewhere in the Lhazaar Principalities. Just going from some simple deduction. I've only seen that kind of glacial erosion on two mountain ranges, and the other was west of our location before we even departed."

    And the Uppity Shoeshine... (DM:twilsemail; Judge: renau1g)

    It looks like I've lost the thumb drive that had a majority of my notes on the adventure. I'm working on rebuilding it with what I submitted to the judges. I'm sure that as soon as I finish with that, I'll find the thumbdrive again... Rustavich nods appreciatively at the facimile of his son...

    "Very well." Rustavich leads the group to a large library with copious books on its shelves. Within the shelves are build alcoves for portraits. Each portrait is larger than the man himself. Rustavich's father is an aged man. Black hair began graying at the temples and worked its way...

    [Adventure] To Serve a Dragon: Act 1: A House is Not a Home (Judge: stonegod)

    Mal strides toward Barykk and offers a hand. If it's taken, he shakes with a firm grip. "It's a pleasure to meet you Varykk. I've done plenty of work with your house in the past. I was a Captain in the Lion's Roar until I Reti.... er... changed professions." Mal's superstition about the word...

    Game Mechanics of a creature surrendering

    I've always seen it as them putting their hands up, probably dropping a weapon if they have it. It's certainly not them falling unconscious, which is what helpless leans towards. I take them off the tracker, but not off the board because they're still an element of the combat. The...

    [Adventure]The Eye of the Tiger(Judge: ???)

    Is Olaf coming in with us? I'd like to see Gren around the middle. I'm imagining Tondrek and Venakhad behind him and the defenders in front. That or Gren scouting 5-10 squares ahead of the party. His perception isn't that exceptional, though.

    Johnathan Michael looks at Illarion curiously, "This world isn't so bad. At least no one's purple here..."

    Game Mechanics of a creature surrendering

    Quick Answer: It's not defined so you'd have to ask your DM what it means to him. Mostly Useless Answer to You: My players find enemies that surrender leave the initiative tracker and cease to take actions in the combat, with the possible exception of backing away. The enemies are certainly...

    I was concerned with how the irregulars would fit in the competition anyhow. I can hld off and see if BenBrown wants to bring in the irregulars. Like I said before, I've got Felix in an adventure and I'm having a ball there. I can wait on a second if need be. That said, the idea of playing...

    "I've had several portraits done. The oldest is no more than six months old. It's hanging along side images of myself and my father in the library. Should we go and have a look? I don't think we have anything of a size you could take with you." To Yishim, "He always prefered tales with...

    Having had his presence recognized, the Captain returns to the table to get whatever remains of the roast, which is admittedly not much. Before digging in he's sure to say, "We'll be ready to march when you give the word, sir." The tiny grig's cricket-esque legs coil and spring him from...
