I imagine it would've taken forever too. Poor dragon. "There's how many thousand of them?"

Well, the game that inspired this thread just came and went, and yes, the party wisely fled. I think they could've even handled a relatively low level thread. But the wasp swarm in the Fiend Folio? Definately underleveled, and I think the DC for the poison was wrong, too.

Okay, I heard torches used as a possible solution twice. Where does it clarify how to use them against swarms, though? How much damage do they do, for example?

I'm referring to ones so small that regular attcks don't work, specifically. The half damage ones a problem, but at least they can be worn down. What can a low level party do to fight one? They presumably have few area effect spells at that point. Is it just a matter of tossing alchemist's...

The only one that I know if is that the grell was very much alive in the original version and it nearly TPKed at least one party that I know of. It's possible they prematurely had him killed when they translated the adventures to book form.

So, is this the end of the first adventure, or do you still have to deal with the denoument? If the former, I'm curious as to what changes, if any, you made to the game. I know of at least one monster that was seemingly removed either because of Dru or when it was transferred from Dungeon to...

I love a Parade: The Night of the Parade Just as the sun started to set and evening began, an excited crowd gathered around a seemingly unimportant turn in the middle of the parade route. As expected, they cheered the city’s various heroes and the treasures on display until a float approached...

Mesion Excerpt #4: The Secret Sermon The Secret Sermon I look at those gathered around me and I feel pride. For years unfathomable by the mortal mind I have struggled to reach the level of power that I now have, but it was worth it. I knew that I would not be able to conquer my own...

I love a Parade: First Blood Elvis looked over their three adversaries, saw that the rogue who apparently was in charge of this ambush was closest to him, shrugged, and went after the obvious target. The rogue was caught off guard by how quickly his target shrugged off his threat and was...

I Love a Parade: Recruitment After initially hearing the plan, the four adventurers were skeptical, if not outraged, by the mysterious elf’s plan. “That’s insane!” Lorren, who lived in Fra Dane and saw many of the parades personally, shouted. “We won’t get near the Jewel before the city...

Unfortunately, since this Story Hour is based on a complete series of adventures designed to be played for an entire campaign, I don't think Dru will need much help making monsters. Believe me, I already asked. :)

Chronicles of Mesion: I Love a Parade: Introductions Fra Dane! It is a city of culture, a city of progress, but also a city of controversy. Founded by wealthy and opportunistic adventurers who saw the abandoned ruins of an ancient city devastated by supernatural warfare as an opportunity, Fra...

Oh, I wouldn't worry. I read Jollydoc's Story Hour of the same adventures, and if a group of tournament-winning, self-admitting power gamers can have such a high mortality rate...

I prefer devils, because honestly, I have an easier time keeping track of them. Succubi and Mariliths are easy enough, but I honestly have to reread the Nalfeshnee and such every time I want to use a demon. Plus, when I want to use a more bizarre, CE type outsider, I find it's more fun to just...

Mesion Excerpt #3: Travels of the Target And now for a bit of ominous foreshadowing. The details of this update are intentionally vague, both to avoid giving anything away and because I'm still tying the details of the game to the plot as it develops and the characters' motivations. The...

Mesion Campaign Details #4 Next up is a quick guide to other major locations on the world of Mesion. There's no guarantee the party will visit all or any of them, but it's a good start in terms of preparation for future adventures. The Toridanir Arcanum The Toridanir Arcanaum is a neutral...

The Ravers? I'm guessing either you or Keith Baker is a huge Firefly fan...

Mesion Excerpt #2: Letter to Prime Minister Sadine Preston And, now that we have the details of Fra Dane covered, I can share another excerpt with you. The final pre-Story Hour excerpts will be posted tomorrow, followed as soon as possible by the official beginning! Letter to Prime Minister...

Mesion Campaign Details #3 Unfortunately, Mother's Day events took up nearly my entire day, so it'll still be a day or two before I can actually get out my first Story Hour entry. Until then, I'll finish catching up on previous entries from the pre-crash Story Hour. This one details the city...

Mesion Excerpt #1: Exalting the Primals This was the first of what will eventually be a series of letters or slice of life events on Mesion, including some that reference major future events of the series. This plan was partically delayed due to the ENWorld crash and an unexpectedly busy week...
