Now let's be fair. *We* only killed you once. The rest of the time, it was someone else's fault. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Ok, lets see what I can recall: The fight went well for us. We had no real plan, recognizing from the layout of the battelfield and the number of unknowns that there wasn't anything good we could do. We had one big advantage - we were initiating combat. That means we get to buff and they don't...

Strange Bedfellows - Chapter 3 Strange Bedfellows – Chapter 3 in which Bolo meets an untimely end... OOC Notes: Exp is 3,000 for 25th, 2,340 for 26th. Bolo gets only a raspberry. Loot: +5 brilliant energy returning trident Amulet of mighty fists +5 Belt of giant strength +6 +5 large steel...

Both games are definitely good and each has its seperate appeal. The trick is in getting a sense of what you want out of your MMO. (Disclaimer - played a lot of CoH/CoV, no WoW, lots of EQ/EQ2) While both games are somewhat casual-friendly, I'd have to agree that CoV is more friendly for...

The mechanics of this fight were far more limited than you might think. (Then again I could be wrong but I'll give you my perception.) The fight with the twisted creatures was pretty routine stuff. The fight with Zinkman was far more cinematic in its quality. His defenses were, as far as we...

Assorted meta-game notes: Scorch did indeed cast Mordnenkainen's Disjunction. It's been regarded as the nuclear weapon of the campaign - as long as we didn't use it on bad guys, Wizardru wouldn't use it on us. But it was a good move here. There was no shortage of personal risk on this one - I...

Strange Bedfellows - Chapter 2 Strange Bedfellows – Chapter 2 OOC Notes: Exp is 10,000 This Week’s Adventure: After the haggling was done, the final force consisted of us, a score of Swords of Heironeous, the Platinar, and six other dragons of varying metals whom I did not know personally...

Oh yeah, Mister I'll-just-roll-a-diplomacy-check and look holy in post. ;) (post = post-production. In this context - when the humble author makes something that happened sound really cool even though it wasn't during the actual game.)

There was a great deal of talk going back and forth. Dragons, priests and so on were consumed in discussion of minutae. I tried to make them understand that there was no point, but it was hopeless. They just couldn’t see that until we got there and saw the situation for ourselves, no amount of...

We were set to play friday, but Aethramyr had a last minute thing come up so we instead played the Mystery Box adventure in Barakus. Next week isn't looking good for this game either - probably Eberron.

I've been playing an arcane archer for years. Imbue Arrow looks useful, but then you learn it's not. Why imbue a fireball when you could just have cast the fireball? For the most part, there's not a lot of spells you'd bother to imbue. The AA PrC as a whole is not very good and got worse with...

The Jonathan thing went by kind of fast and mostly out of my line of sight. The offer was made at the celebration in Celene after the fall of the Githyanki. Scorch was approached by a representative of the Valley, and was basically offered the position. We really never got a chance to follow up...

Strange Bedfellows - Chapter 1 Strange Bedfellows – Chapter 1 OOC Notes: Exp: 3000 (everyone is 25) This Week’s Adventure: I would have expected this group of the powerful and influential to be less disturbed by the sudden appearance of an armed party. I think the concern was not so much...

The Krel Hr'dad are a new element. Mostly I did this by skimming the 650 pages of old stuff. I was mostly trying to capture the beings (or terms) that came up over the long term. I'm not entirely sure they'll be a long-term plot element but next time I'm in there, I'll add 'em. The Eight are...

The Cast of Characters of Wizardru’s Story Hour (a.k.a. The Savage Sword of Meepo!) This listing is for significant NPC’s in the campaign world. The characters are extensively discussed elsewhere but at times it’s very handy to have a way to figure out who’s who. This is not an exhaustive...

I suspect I never really created it - it was something I intended to do but never got to it. Easily solved. My favorite... hm... tough one. Flight of arrows was very moving from a story standpoint for me personally. The githyanki war was a great feeling of power. The Lich Queen's Beloved was...

Re: the drow-things Yeah they didn't enjoy a good time in their brief life. I'm not sure how much the terrain was the issue per se. Both groups were in a fairly equal state of "hurried preparation" and in that case, fortune usually favors our party. The failed fort saves on the polymorph were...

Indeed there was no discernable lie and I was left with the impression he really had no reason to lie to us. He truly was transcendant - the concepts of good, evil, and so on were of little relevance to him. Put another way, he was easily the lesser or perhaps least of many evils to choose from...

Now that really sounds like a great final scene with Gulthias doesn’t it? Too bad it didn’t happen anything like that. It’s all a dirty lie. Here’s what really happened: The drow were eliminated or turned into various small fuzzy animals. Aethramyr had taken a smack at Gulthias but we were...

A Fool’s Errand – Chapter 8 A Fool’s Errand – Chapter 8 OOC Notes: Exp for 24th is a massive 14,575. (No typo.) 25th get 10,125. That should put most of the group at 25th. Loot: Ring of blinking +5 silver falchion with energy drain, drain blood, and body feeder scabbard of keen edges potion...
