Chapter 32 "You travel upon our road, short ones. We demand you pay us a toll for using it." Jelani rolled his eyes. The five frost giants who stood alongside the road ahead were illuminated by the fading rays of the setting sun. Behind the mystic theurge, his other companions and Taigiel...

::blows the dust off the thread:: Oh man. Is this thing still around? :) Glad to hear you like the story, Faulkin. And Terenon might come back? That's great! We'd love to have him back; the game's slowed down a bit lately, and he'd be just the kick we need to get things going again. Plus...

Hey, I was just curious about the changeling substitution levels? Mind giving a brief overview of them to tide me over till my copy arrives next week? :) BTW, I appreciate you dishing out all this info...really getting me pumped up to read the book when it arrives.

Taigiel is an NPC designed to add a little juice to the adventure. Thanks for the compliment. :)

Chapter 31 Rhys peered at the icy monstrosities, holding forth his holy symbol. "They are constructs, not undead. May Torm's celestial flames reduce these things to water!" A roaring column of divine flame engulfed the ice golems, melting the snow at their feet. The golems, while not damaged...

"Cookie": Used when something in-game or in the descriptive text of an adventure is disturbing and strange, like a tentacled monster or a pulsating altar. Origin: All the descriptions of Tharizdun's cult and the items they use in "Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil" really grossed out my...

My story hour, "Prison of the Firebringer," is based on a PbP game I'm running at PlayByWeb.com. The link should be in my signature, but for some reason it hasn't been showing up lately, so you can follow this one too.

I did not have Adimarchus use his summoning ability. It may have helped him out a bit, but the PCs likely would have prevailed in the end.

One thing I forgot that really helped the party out: Nidrama has the ability to cast death ward at will. That, coupled with the mind blank, made all of the PCs immune to the most dangerous of Adimarchus' powers.

They actually had a pretty easy time with him. A greater dispel from the cleric took down most of Myrakul's magic defenses, then a disintegrate each from the pixie sorcerer and the halfling archmage plus a few hits by the samurai and he was dust. Then it just took a bit of wailing on the...

Chapter 30 Smoky plumes rose from the chimneys of Finch, but nothing stirred among the stone houses or humble dwellings of wood and thatch. The village looked abandoned, and there was no sign of the threat that drove the people away. As the mystic theurge and paladin landed in the hamlet's...

From the PHB, paraphrased a bit: "If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to dfend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage. Basically, the rogue's attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC, or when...

My party consisted of a halfling wizard/elemental savant/archmage focused on evocation spells, a human samurai/kensai, a human barbarian/fighter/rogue with the smoking eye, a human rogue, an elf druid, a pixie sorcerer/incantatrix, a half-orc cleric of Kord, and Nidrama. The group was at nearly...

It had to be done... Loot, glorious loot! What is there more handsome? Coins, items, and gems Still worth a king's ransom. What is it we dream about? What brings us a sigh? Piled armor and arms about Six feet high! Loot, glorious loot! We're anxious to find some. Find monsters to kill, Maim...

Chapter 29 Grundar blinked a bit to clear the disorientation from the teleportation spell. One would think that he'd be used to it by now, but there was still something unnatural in traveling hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye. An icy wind blew across the cold grasslands, announcing...

Most would call Ignacio Vite an eccentric. He considers himself a sensualist. He is a member of the Sensates, a faction in the city of Sigil comprised of people like him. He scours the multiverse seeking out rare and exotic experiences from across the planes. Be it a beautiful sunset on an...

JD, if you check out the paizo.com message boards, James Jacobs recently made a post addressing this issue. He said to reduce Adimarchus' caster level to 20th instead of 30th for all of his spell-like abilities. Hope this helps. :)

Wow, that was a quick fight. :) That's what happens when the party knows what awaits them and takes time to buff up.

Glim Thistlewhistle, gnome druid. Somehow his right hand got cut off and replaced by a construct of hardened sand that gave him magic powers over sand. In that same adventure, one of the other players somehow reached into a bag of tricks and pulled himself out of it.

Prison of the Firebringer Hard to choose a good one without spoiling things too much. I think this installment is a good indication of my Story Hour as a whole. A good mix of intrigue, roleplaying, and combat. Enjoy! Chapter 12 The High Conflagration sat behind his desk, Degradzel seated...
