Marcus takes the time to count out even shares of the reward for all involved. He shrugs at the list of errands. "Mayswell. I'll volunteer for the smithy-run. Maybe see if he's got any tools that would be of use to my father. Or if he's got any new... more interesting things." Should be 100 GP...

It depends on what version/translation you read (which can be unfortunately true with lots of the old myths)... The Gorgons have also been identified as a trio of sister-monsters, of which Medusa was the only mortal one. But Arachne was definitely turned from human woman to spider. It's easy to...

Ararion helps gather things and with the burial, though his slight build doesn't offer too much in the way of assistance with such a task. He doesn't seem particularly interested in the theories... "We might as well return to the Academy. There's little else for us to do out here, as our task is...

"They're pups. Weak, small, probably hungry. We can carry them back to the farm. Though if your father can domesticate them, it would be a small miracle." Ararion lets the others examine the bones. He's not entirely surprised there are some... After all, big predators will go for big prey.

Marcus shrugs. "Just about any of them. Hell, the Cardinal could probably tell you, when he gets a free minute, and he'd at least make it more interesting than most."

Marcus was fairly quiet on the trip back to Cauldron, only punctuated by periodic bouts of growling, snarling and quiet cursing at his injured leg. Still, it doesn't stop him from doing his duty when the carts arrive back at the Drunken Morkoth. He finally relaxes back, leg mostly healed by now...

Marcus stays fairly still while Val bandages him up a bit. "Damn little pests. For such small things, they sure do manage to cause some pain." He acknowledges Adofo with a grunt of "Thanks," even if it is a bit of a back-handed compliment. He gives Maavu a nod and accepts the offered items...

I'm sorry for your loss. Such things are always hard...

I actually talked about grouping NPCs (whether friend or foe) with similar or identical stats together. It's a lot easier to handle, in my experience. Like rather than having every single adult beetle and swarm get a separate roll, a few swarms get grouped into one Init roll, the others into a...

I doubt it... He had a lot going on. It might be possible for a few folks to pick up his APs, but his homebrew stuff (particularly Off to War) is all his own work.

Marcus growls quietly as he checks his wounds from beetle-bites. He rests his polearm against the side of a cart as he feels the injuries. Seems like nothing major... thankfully. It was interesting. Certainly a more intriguing and dynamic encounter than most turn out to be and I enjoyed it...

Ararion picks up his rapier and sheathes it again, opting instead to keep his bow ready. He lets the others worry over Silvas as he watches the stones and trees around and listens for anything else. He quietly makes his way to Rollen and asks, "Was one of those things what attacked you? Or did...

Don't. Please don't. I've only gotten to read the 1st one and am hoping my library's copy of the second gets turned back in on-time so I can grab it for myself.

The Emerald Heritage is for both mechanical and flavor reasons. Mechanics for Sonic damage with the Inspiration and flavor for hereditary curiosity (with a possible dash of paranoia). Oops, misread the feat. Oh well. I'll swap it for Adaptive Style (Tome of Battle) so I don't have to monkey...

Am I currently swarmed or not? I don't think the map got updated, but with the site down for a while, I totally understand why. If I'm not swarmed, then continue actions as before. If I am covered in swarming beetles... then I suppose, try to get out of their area and go after any adult...

I heard it was a falling out with Marvel that got him to walk away. But this replacement was (again, from what I heard) picked by him.

While they're in it? This party doesn't seem like the type to be sporting several Resist Energy spells... Of course, if they burn it rather than enter, it could just piss off the lurking monster. And whoever might own the field. But if this is more like Persia, is it also a desert? If so...

There's the ever-classic haunted cornfield. Emphasize the "don't know which way is which" and all the same-looking corn pressing in on all sides for a good tone. Re-skin a low-power golem or something as a scarecrow, give it fire vulnerability, etc. and you've got a creepy and thematic monster...

Marcus swings his guisarme around into a ready position. He calls out over the din of the beetles, "Orin, Adofo and I should handle the adult beetles. The rest of you grab torches and smash the juveniles with them. Don't take any unnecessary risks, work together, and don't let any beetles get...

I'm rather expecting it, seeing as we seem to lack a healer of any sort. Donations for a CLW wand fund will be greatly appreciated. :D
