    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Understatement of the day? Nah, week. Easily. Maybe even month. Great as always, LB. Nice to see Arun finally getting something worthy of him. Paladins with Holy Avengers. That's just brutal. We didn't have one in the party during this module, so we ended up having to sell it. (Granted...

    "Buffy-vivor": Pick the ultimate Buffy episode! (Come vote in the finals!)

    Okay, this season I *have* to vote on. The Wish and Dopplegangland. My two favorite Buffy episodes ever. "Bored now..."

    Wow. I've been reading since the beginning of Travels... and I think that was your greatest plot twist (and update) ever. That was AWESOME, LB.

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Ugh. And that's why I rarely use Beholders, right there. I *hate* save-be-taken-out spells and modify them in my games... and Beholders have a wide variety of spells at their disposal to do just that. Sorry for the mini-rant, there. Pet peeve. LOVE the description of the bizarre...

    Lana? LANA? Good god, man, are you BLIND? It's called Chloe! Learn it, live it, love it. Yes, I know it's a matter of personal taste, but I just couldn't let that one go by. Heh. Lana just isn't attractive (IMO) and Lois looks 35. Chloe still doesn't appear quite young enough to be in...

    So which Incredibles character's power would you choose? (possible spoilers!)

    Maybe I'm just too old school. Heh. Strength and Invulnerability for me. Come on! Who didn't want to be Superman growing up?? Plus, the way he jumps, it wouldn't be a problem getting around... ...and that's if I don't get his morphing super-car as part of the deal.

    Wow. Failed will saves for everyone! Huzzah! This could get UGLY.

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    I guess you and I read that feat completely differently. "The amount of the bonus depends on the number of nonspellcasting class levels you have; you can add +1 for each nonspellcasting class level up to the limit of +4." Zenna is a wizard/cleric/mystic theurge. ALL of her levels are in...

    Nice fight with the golem... that was cool. Got to love throwing Golems at players. :) By the way, any of your combat scenes -- especially the ones with the dragons -- would be great for a clip from your story hour. Your combat descriptions really rock -- it's the main reason I keep lurking...

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Half-Dragon, Half-Minotaur Barbarian? Ouch. And either some fighter levels or rather high-level to have all those feats. I counted an Exotic Weapon Proficiency, Combat Reflexes, and possibly Improved Trip in there -- which would add Combat Expertise to the list as well. That's a nasty foe...

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    I agree with Jon Potter... this is one of the most impressive battles you've written yet. That is one nasty horde of enemies for them to fight. I especially like the momentary glimpse of Zenna from Arun's perspective as she lays out the hurt... not even considering the fact that he's got to...

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Don't forget who was administering the test: A demon lord. A tricky demon lord. My bet is that the "sacrifice" is the one who passes the test. I would bet that a willing sacrifice will push the plane towards good and happiness and light, while an unwilling sacrifice would push it fully over...

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    That was amazingly cool. Arun, Hodge, and Morgan proving their sheer prowress as warriors... MMMmm, that's good story hour. :)

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    I've noticed this. Of course, the opposite problem can happen in humanoid heavy campaigns -- unless massively powered by magic weapons and armor, the PCs will always hit and almost never get hit in return. This just isn't true. In my last game as a player, I was running a pure-class Dwarven...

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Flavor text or a "1" on his reflex save? You decide. :) Heh. Great fight, LB. Arun proves once again that AC isn't everything... unless you have the HP to back it up. (And Dwarven Toughness doesn't hurt either.)

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    It's amazing -- Morgan is actually drawing close to the dwarves as my favorite character. Great writing, LB -- he feels really "real" for lack of a better term. Not to mention that he's hard-headed without being an idiot. Heh, most of the time, anyway. Keep up the great work!

    Nice cliffhanger on Friday, LB! Retriever against this party? That could be a nasty fight. Looking forward to it... though I'm sure they're not!

    You know, the Abyss is really over-rated as a vacation destination. Why doesn't anybody ever visit the Hells? :) It will be interesting to see how their visit differs from that of the previous party, LB.

    Crits and Demons and Deaths, Oh My! Add me to the list -- I can't wait for the next chapter to begin. ----------------- And never underestimate the randomness of the dice. My party recently were in a dungeon and accidentally alerted all of the intelligent creatures guarding it. Any TWO of...

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Nice description in there... Especially Morgan. It might just be the way you described it for dramatic effect, but it sounds to me like they detected the illusion, KNEW he was an enemy, and the glass-creature STILL got a surprise round. Or am I reading too much in the way of mechanics into a...
