Sounds fun.But what would you have done if Imix had been defeated?

I'm at a similar stage of PotA to you. My PCs are at 3rd level (not far off 4th), have just defeated the knights at Feathergale Spire and are off to Rivergard Keep next. I've been fairly liberal with pretty blatant clues, so they have a fair idea now that there are four elemental cults - they...

Yikes! This is turning into one long scrap - and not looking good for the heroes! Looking forward to the next episode.

Well the player in question is my daughter - living at home again as she can't really afford to rent in London. It makes things very convenient for (re)scheduling sessions, but, yeah, it's not great from a gameplay perspective. Combat can go fairly slowly at times - and I dare say it will get...

Yeah, I probably messed up by giving out too many hooks. I thought the party (which is actually only one player handling four PCs) would opt for Feathergale Spire, particularly as there's a strong personal motive for one of the PCs, but no ... they decided to investigate the missing caravan...

That is one seriously nasty fight ... and that's only so far!! Looking forward to seeing if your PCs can get out of this. Continuing the "could be a TPK" theme - albeit at a much lower level - I nearly had one when my PCs (only level 3) decided to take on the Sacred Stone Monastery. They are...

I don't see why. I'm not entirely sure without checking (and I don't have the book with me) whether the fire creatures are actually supposed to have been summoned through the fire node or by other means. Even if they did come through the fire node I would say it's just like a door shutting -...

I have to say that the way your party closed the fire node seems pretty cool. Smart thinking and a bit of luck - nothing at all wrong with that. And it still looks like the final showdown is going to be pretty epic - even without Imix! I look forward to reading about it.

That sounds like an amazing session. I really like all that you've done with the side trek to Yartar - I can only hope my campaign turns out half so well. At the moment, my PCs have just been through the Tomb of Moving Stones under Redlarch. One of the Bringers of Woe got away (after they...

If you have line of sight, but the spell does not have a somatic component, do you need to be able to hear the spellcaster in order to discern that he/she is not just talking?

Well in return I'd like very much to thank you for posting these recaps. This thread has been instrumental in me deciding to run PotA and in giving me ideas to change it or flesh it out. It's my first serious DMing for quite a number of years, so reading about other people's experiences with the...

I haven't commented before, but I am following the thread - and enjoying it. I've actually just started running PotA myself - literally just started; one session so far which just served to get to the PCs to Red larch - so I've been particularly interested in some of the discussion upthread...

Thanks for the update SD. Things don't look good ... hope you don't keep us hanging on too long this time. ;) And I hope you can get all your RL troubles sorted.

Well, after a long hiatus I've been reading this storyhour again and enjoying it no end .... ... well, actually, with an end, because now I've caught up and am going to have to wait for updates. :mad: Great stuff, Steel Dragon - I particularly love the personality you've added to many of the...

First, let me say I haven't read all the answers on this thread - I gave up about page 6. So if someone else has made this point already, I apologise. D&D is not about combat ... or adventure. I have never engaged in combat while playing D&D - nothing worse than a few harsh words and some...

Another one added to your list of admirers, Steeldragons. Great story. :D

I have no objection in principle to paying to play. I fact, if i were playing anywhere other than my own or a friend's house, I'd pretty much expect to have to pay - most wargames/rpg clubs in this country (the UK) rent rooms/halls. That said, if, as the OP states, there are other shops...

Add another one to you list of readers Abciximab. :) The journal style is quite engaging an deasy to read - I like it, and I'll keep reading. Btw I share your dislike of the positioning of traps in a lot of dungeons - they often make no logical sense at all, which really bugs me.

I'm not sure I can help much. I'm pretty sure that the high point of kids' respect for me came when they were about four ... they soon learned better.
