    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    Amra really got a lot of damage that round, since Torn was raging and Trepat had used his wand of bullstrength on him when they went into the Hall of Command. Then, she failed the tumble check, and I added the fence as a nice theatrical touch. Regarding Enkile: Both Trepat's and Jan's players...

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    Serpent in the Fold- part 4 of 4 She moved forward to block the entrance way, so that only man could face her at a time. Jam was the first to step forward. As Ben was transforming into his spiderform in the back, Amra slashed at the Paladin with both her short swords. Her right sword found a...

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    Thank you, Joseph. I will be able to post the final confrontation by tomorrrow. Then, the next chapter will pick up and tie up some lose ends of Torn's biography, and after that, the Serpent Amphora cycle will continue. (Since I haven't updated this for a week, I feel obliged to give you guys at...

    [Scarred Lands; semi-poll] The Next Big Titan

    I would like to see more of Chern as well. IIRC, his "brood" of Ratmen are the Diseased Ones, so it looks like his influence is already strong among the Slitheren. (After all, they are the leaders of the Mourning Marshes). Oh, and regarding the Serpent Amphora, I think it is time to pimp my...

    How long does it normally take to write up one installment of your Story Hour?

    I usually need about two hours for writing an update, and I am usually writing four updates per session. That means that I am usually writing eight hours to cover one five hour session...

    what area of the Scarred Lands would you like to see further developed?

    I would like to see more about Durrover. I think that the background of a war-ravaged country offers a lot of great roleplaying opportunities.

    Best and Worst Settings?

    Best D20 Setting: The Scarred Lands. It is a very atmospheric campaign in which everything connects. Best Setting: Earthdawn. Very, very intense. Like the scarred lands it offered a lot of diversity combined by a common theme. On top of that, there was a very, very intriguing metaplot to it...

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    Thanks for your comments, and I am especially glad to see a new face here, too, Talix. Well, the final part is supposed to take place during a thunderstorm, and I merely focused on it quite a bit. Glad you are enjoying it, though. Unfortunately, I wrote the final update for this chapter at work...

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    Serpent in the fold- part 3 Niklas looked around, at the dying bonfires, the gigantic corpse in front of it and the villagers: men who were embracing their women and children again, and mourning men at the bodies of their dead wives or both men and women weeping at the remnants of their...

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    Oh, Nightfall, I am sorry I forgot to answer your question regarding Ben's Spider Form! In this form, he is a medium sized hunting Spider, as it is presented in the Vernim appendix of the first MM.

    Which member of the Fellowship would you aspire to?

    Frodo. I would love to have the courage to face the ultimate evil even though I am small, insignificant and ill prepared.

    Serpent in the fold- part 2 Before Niklas could duck down again, he and Torn heard the sound of a whistling arrow which was flying towards them. As they turned around, Torn noticed that the arrow had landed just a few yards away from them and that there was a piece of paper wrapped around it's...

    Rolling all 18s

    One guy I used to play with had magic dice. With them, it was possible to have all 18s. After he and I had all 18s, our DM said something about "loaded dice", and other mean things, and forced us to reroll with his dice. Oh, he of little faith...;)

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    When Ben's player announced that he would skin the Slitheren now, I, like all the other players, went slackjawed. This was definetly one of the moments when something happened I wouldn't have considered happening in a million years. Right now, he still has to find someone to actually tailor the...

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    Serpent in the fold- part 1 As the spider went after her relentlessly, Tears of Her Enemies grew anxious. Behind the spider which had been a harmless halfling just a few minutes ago, she saw that Spineback, her companion both in battle and under her blanket was fighting a losing battle against...

    Ruins of Sky Keep - part 4 of 4 „Alright then,“ he said „ I think it would be best if you would leave me some space. The ratmen who were fiddling with this vault have disappeared. Maybe the trap just teleports you into the sky, so that you plummet to your death...“. Trepat took of his...

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    I want to post an update by tomorrow. I have just been to the Netherlands for a week, visiting the Itsman, so there hadn't been any updates during this period. But tomorrow I want to finish the chapter and post the rest during the week. That would sum up the adventure then, as well.

    Struggle and Strife- A scarred lands storyhour

    Ruins of Sky Keep, part 3 of 4 As they marched on, Trepat was the first to hear sounds of a fight echoing through the corridors. There was the sound of steel hitting steel and occasional shouts and screams of agony. Immediately, he started walking quicker, and as his friends heard it too and...
