Hooray! Welcome back. :D

Alisohn Nilesia, the former factol of the Mercykillers faction. She's mad as a sackful of rabid squirrels, and had a major role in instigating the Faction War that saw the factions banished from Sigil. (if you're using the Faction War module, anyhow.) According to Factol's Manifesto (IIRC), she...

I must confess myself confused by Gemnez's motivations here. Once the nycaloths were dispatched, what was preventing him from interfering in the battle? He could have easily ensured Pyrak's victory, with considerable benefits to himself, and there would have been no witnesses left to report that...

You're a bad, bad, bad, bad person. :D More, please! It's always interesting to see more non-traditional narratives coming out of D&D, and "dream about killing the monsters and wake up clutching their black hearts" is an excellent change of pace from "kill the monsters and take their stuff".

A Middle Way, if you will. ;) Bah. The old smilies were better. Anyhow, I can only hope that someday I might be enough of a rat bastard to make my players squirm like this. Way to mess with their poor little minds, Sep!

We'll wait... impatiently. :]

Good stuff, Grey Sage! How long has this campaign been running, in real time?

A quibbling question about a minor theological contradiction: Lombard (Eadric's player) on the Church of Oronthon: "The domains of Good, Healing, Law, Protection, Retribution, Sun, Strength, Creation, Exorcism, Glory, Inquisition and Mysticism can all be related to Oronthon." Titivilus on...

Wow. Messy battle. Sounds like they could have used a bit better reconaissance beforehand. Kudos for the wonderfully creepy description of the experimentation chamber. Man, you guys are way too kind to your bard. Any bard starts using that as a countersong around our group, and we'd have fed...

Once, after an untimely PC death mid-campaign, I came back with a human Bbn 2/Wiz 4 character who wreaked holy hell with a sword & shield combo. Before the 3.5e update nerfed all his best spells (Polymorph Self, Bull's Strength, etc.), he ended up being arguably the best fighter in the party...

A very promising beginning! I love the scene of the dying man looking out mournfully over the assembled youth. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Hooray! Seeing this story hour updated has made my whole day worthwhile. More, please! I'd give my left arm for a group of players who could handle historical roleplaying this well.

The worst game I've ever played in wasn't actually all that memorable... just an immature DM making up everything (badly) as he went along. Thankfully, it didn't last long. The second worst game I've ever played in ended in a shouting match. The DM was great, the new 2E campaign we were...

Don't assume that they won't be able to take it all. When it's treasure at stake, PCs tend to get very, very creative! Let's see... Art: A breathtaking tapestry, thirty feet long by twenty feet high, depicting a series of dramatic scenes in illithid history. It's subtly interwoven with gold and...

I don't see any conflict here. What if you kept the outer planes, outsiders, et cetera, but just remove the "this is where you go when you die" aspect? So, for instance, Hell is just an alien place filled with malevolent, otherworldly entities to whom the fate of humanity is only a trifling...

The gritty reality of your setting, Destan, is a refreshing antidote from the tone of most heroic fantasy. Don't ever lose it. I doubt I'm alone in wishing that you please won't tone it down. It would be a tremendous disservice to you and your excellent players.

The name "Malebranche" for a devil has a much more distinguished lineage, actually -- that was Dante's name for the winged, pitchfork-carrying devils of the Inferno. Then I turned round, as one who is impatient To see what it behoves him to escape, And whom a sudden terror doth unman...

Whoah, whoah, whoah! Back up! Erstwhile familiar? What happened to Proty? Did I miss the memo, or is this referring to an event which hasn't come up on the Story Hour yet?

Don't. It's a fine name. So long as you can keep cranking out posts full of beautiful drama like this, I don't care if you change your name to "Queen Elizabeth the Second's Withered Left Ovary". Keep up the great work!

Brilliant stuff, Orichalcum. Is "Meloch the Pygmy" actually Meloch's player commenting on your narrative? The master/familiar sniping is excellent. Keep up the great work! I always get excited when I see that there's a new installment of your story up.
