Anvil is very canny actually. He's usually only shockingly rude to people who have already throughly pissed off the rest of the party. I mean, even Reyu was getting fed-up with the negotiations at that point. We had been trying to be as polite as possible to one elf or another for hours...

Part the Fiftieth In which: Another dialogue begins, and then goes on and on and on. Gods, why won’t it stop? Please, can’t we hit something? The first sign that they have arrived is the change in sounds. The soft rustling of people moving through the woods is slowly joined by murmuring...

Part the Forth-Ninth In which: A dialogue goes on. And on. And on. “The Health of the Miyen Nation is an elf?” Reyu asks, incredulous. “No less than an elf, certainly,” replies LidoMana. Lira has been attempting to translate for the others, but the frequent use of this unfamiliar concept...

In this case, in this case, your kudos really should go to the deserving fajitas, as he and I have temporarily swapped our writer/editor hats. The idea is that as he writes this, I can get a bit of a backlog going again. I don't think the encounters with the Miyen Kai played out the way...

What do you know? He's right! Part the Forty-Eighth In which: A dialogue is begun. Some days pass. Benedic has been leading the party deeper into the woods, towards the territory of the Miyen elves. The woods are largely silent, save for the occasional rustle of birds or deer, running...

Yeah, getting the dwarves stuck in the entangle was pretty funny until WLS noticed she couldn't dismiss the spell. Good to know that she apparently could now. We'll have to remember that next time we're someplace with vegetation. As a side note, this session contained one of my favorite DM...

Sorry to all that we've run a bit late on this update. Elven sidebar and more adventures coming next! *********** Part the Forty-Seventh In which: a goblin dead at your feet is worth four still caught in your entangle. Lira, out of magic missiles switches to her crossbow. Her bolt goes wide...

The player of our party cleric (always one to look at the bright side of a situation) on the group being ambushed in the middle of the night: "I have no armor... I can run like the wind!"

You got to do your share of chick wooing as I recall. :) Benedic was the character Ross played when he and Jo came to visit.

Part the Forty-Sixth In which: spyscribe utterly fails to come up with a clever intro. The first few days through the woods are quiet and uneventful. After less than a full-day’s travel, Benedic leads the party off of established trails and into an untracked wilderness known in the Confederacy...

A little interlude. Fuller update later in the week. Interlude: As all plans for departure do, this one develops a small hitch. The party is all ready to leave Noran, having secured last minute supplies, including a set of four beads that Reyu has purchased to present as gifts to the leaders...

Part the Forty-Fifth In which: Kettenek’s Justice is served. Steadfast speaks very slowly and carefully. The vein to one side of his forehead is beginning to throb. “You are absolutely sure that these letters are authentic?” The monk to whom Steadfast has brought the strangers’ letters of...

I'm the note-taker for our campaign, and honestly, I just let it slide if I'm really getting into a scene with other players or an NPC. The notes are great to have for the story hour and for reference in later sessions, but when it comes down to it, I'm there to play, not to take notes. I...

Part the Forty-Fourth In which: an irresistible force meets an immovable object. “I’ve never seen them in town before.” “—Been asking questions all over the place.” “Said they were looking for a guide.” “She was the one who was cheating, Officer. We were just having our usual friendly...

Thomas Hobbs, Welcome! And good to see you around again, Talix. Glad you're enjoying the story. Yeah, Hue... High INT, low WIS, in case you couldn't tell. If he does just enjoy getting reactions out of people, then the character is far more subtle than any of us ever gave him credit for...

Something else to consider. As of the time I'm writing this, there are 952 (or 942 according to the forums index) threads that have been created in the Story Hour forum. Mean thread length: approximately 57 posts. Median thread length: 11 replies. Median number of thread views: just under 200...

Just when you think you're being paranoid enough...

You know how it is. Big party, just got some new members, you want to do something all together, to bond. Plus, it'd be a shame to travel to a new part of the world and not get arrested.

Well, if you're looking for recommendations, one thing to do would be to run a search in general, off-topic, or the story hour forum for threads of people asking what story hour they should read. I think Eric Noah started a story hour pimping thread in General a while back which might help a...

Part the Forty-Third: In which: The party walks into a bar… Most laborers have finished their work for the day, and the tavern is full and busy. The air smells of beer and wood-smoke, and although Lira and Moira in particular notice more than a few appraising glances turned their way, the...
