I see. Still, I like to feel powerful once in a while. I don't want every battle to be a potential TPK. One of my biggest thrills when playing a RPG game like the Final Fantasy series is, once I reach high levels, going back to earlier areas and quickly annihilating monsters who gave me trouble...
Now that was a fight! What did Osborn's player do after he was confused? I know I'd be bored out of my mind if I had nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs.
Nightshades really are tough critters.
And now Lord Morladim himself has come... If he's behind the nightshades, he might have decided to...
Okay, so she's got the right personality, but one would think that the male members of the court won't appreciate waking up a little weaker after a night with her.
Out of curiosity, did Tolly miss a saving throw at some point when Genevieve was trying to seduce him? And did he lose hit points or ability points from her feeding? Oh, and shouldn't he be worried about what loosing her among the Imperial court now that he knows she likes to suck blood and have...
I didn't really see it coming. All I really remember is Inoke refusing to participate in the attack.
Anyway, it doesn't look like Inoke will be needed - it seems Marius was able to beat down the party by himselves (sorry for the lame pun, couldn't resist). :p
Alright, so the big battle has started... Say, when it's over, could you post the stats for the Arrows of Law? No need for complete stats, I'd be happy with name, race/gender, alignment, class(es) and level. (I'm especially curious about Marius). :)
So, a bit of successful investigation by Clueless. Does he do that a lot?
Oh, and if the party does seek to attack the yugoloths on the godisle, I hope for their sake that they go in (literally) prepared for war - the 'loths must have a strong defense there.
:p Glad to see that Kyle has his priorities straight! So Artificer just wasn't doing it for him, eh? I wonder what he'll do with that book he did so much to acquire...
Oh, and does Crystal have designs on somebody in the party?
Yeah, I'm all teary-eyed over here. ;)
I guess the Osborn-snatching was meant to explain that player's absence from the game that night. Out of curiosity, have the players considered letting another player use their character for a night if they can't make it? And has the DM had to adjust...
Ah, a bit of mystery, eh? I can wait...
Also, if Delemental's theory about the Taurics basically pressing into service anything that could float, then I wonder what a force 4 or 5 hurricane would have done to that fleet, especially the less well-maintained ship... Did the PCs try to come up...
Hi! I've been reading this story hour (backwards) for a few days now, and I'm enjoying it. Lanara does seem to be a sleaze, btw. ;)
However, a question has occurred to me: How big is the Tauric invasion force? I'd find it extremely hard to believe that the Taurics had managed to build enough...
My advice would be to recover as much equipment as you can (especially steel) and try to lure allies with it. Once the superiority of steel is demonstrated, the locals should want it. Do some hard bargaining - including maybe a farcical but showy ceremony where you spray blood on the steel and...
That was a great read! Please, Ralts, post more.
Heck, consider making it a story hour - I for one would enjoy seeing entertaining cackling villainy and mayhem! :)
Uh oh, looks like Ruel is about to have a visitor...
I wonder what part Sasha will play in all this? She must be someone important for Ruel to confide in her.
