The Sidebar that had to be posted on Christmas: Loot! The next day, Annika does prepare and cast identify. Lira watches, dumbfounded, as Annika spends hours tracing arcane symbols on the ground, sprinkling gold dust over the lines, and chanting constantly. There is a good reason, she thinks...

Part the Eighty-Seventh In which: at least the zombies do not appear to be anyone’s friends. In later days, Lira will turn to Anvil and ask him, “When the bodies in the cave started coming at you, why didn’t you just turn them like you did Amelia’s zombies? I mean, they were pretty obviously...

Doh! An adventurer's best-laid plans...

Part the Eighty-Sixth In which: the party embarks on several projects, with varying degrees of success. However, Eva has already made another, potentially even more exciting, discovery. Back in the corner of the side-cave farthest from the main entrance is a sloping passage, almost like a set...

Well, you know, he can be kind of... demanding... Although Eva's player should feel free to contradict me, I don't think it's that Eva has a problem with Anvil, per se, aside from the whole "stick up his rear" quality that he tends to exude. Actually, after the "pig headed idiot" line, some of...

Part the Eighty-Fifth In which: we have combat! Discoveries! Mysteries! And a really stinky pit. As the last flames lick down the remnants of Annika’s web spell, Benedic creeps into the mouth of the cave. It takes a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dim light, but when they do, he can...

Part the Eighty-Fourth In which: vengeance is served… with a side order of Justice. As the ogres advance on the cliff-top group, Lira quickly scrambles back to her feet and back up out of range of their swinging clubs. Lord Agasha’s scouts open fire, peppering the trailing ogre with several...

Ah, too bad, maybe next year. As Len points out, don't worry too much about the bear. As he is a) HUGE, and b) very motivated where Sheesak is concerned. And hey KidZero, glad you stopped by. :) Thatch's player, ellinor (who sometimes posts here), and I really enjoyed that Delta Green...

Part the Eighty-Third In which: the best laid plans… The first group heads up to the top of the cliff an hour before dawn. They move with all possible stealth, but do run into one goblin sentry. Anvil quickly casts silence before the goblin can sound the alarm, and Benedic takes him out...

(Hey PhoenixAsh, glad you're enjoying the story hour, and thanks for posting!) Interlude: A map, and some explanation thereof Given their prior experience, the party decides to attempt to draw out and attack Sheesak herself as quickly as possible without wasting their resources on her minions...

Part the Eighty-Second In which: the party either makes a brilliant tactical ploy, or a really big mistake. Some hours later, as the party passes out of the woods and into one of the grassier areas of Ketkath foothills, Reyu notices a lone raven high up against the sky. An hour later, it is...

(Pfew! Got my brain back from GenCon SoCal, mostly, and so... time for an update.) Part the Eighty-First In which: the party begins to suspect that someone doesn’t want them in the woods. “You were so stoned,” Lira giggles. “I can’t even describe it.” “Do you think you could stop trying...

Part the Eightieth In which: I apologize to Fajitas for not finding a clever way to work in “Birchbraid,” the name of the third dryad. Lira promptly freezes and puts her hands over her ears. The satyr gives Reyu a very put-upon look. “Oh, come on.” Reyu shakes her head. The satyr tries...

My story hour is "Welcome to the Halmae" and I would like to apologize now to anyone who has ever clicked on it hoping for something in the Buffyverse. At this point in the story: the party is a group of third-level adventurers and have just (for the first time in their collective careers)...

Part the Seventy-Ninth In which: Reyu is glad to be a fourth level druid. As Lira and Euro attempt to keep Kiara in some mental condition remotely resembling calm, Reyu and Benedic scour the scene for any clues as to what might have happened to their friends. The most confusing part of the...

As a player whose DM uses a Piratecat inspired "How's My Driving?" questionaire, let me say first that filling it out was a great way to really sit down and think about what I was enjoying in the campaign, what I didn't like so much, and everything in between. My one word of warning however, is...

Part the Seventy-Eighth In which: our adventures in a winter wonderland continue. The party returns to the village to find that Lord Agasha, along with twelve of his men, have arrived. Agasha, astride his warhorse, grins to see the adventurers. “There you are!” Anvil comes forward and takes...

I'm guessing I'll make it down for at least a day or two over the weekend, possibly with some others from my regular gaming group (of the story hour in sig). BadMonkeyJeff will definitely be there.

The coolest part about Annika and Kiara is that Kiara is the PC. Annika is just along for the ride. :) (And hey! Good to see you posting, Thatch!)
