Part the Two-Hundred Ninth In which: well, we’ve deposed the Count… what happens now? Since Etienne didn’t elect to accompany the party through the Count’s secret escape tunnel, the adventurers return to find him in the throne room looking down at the corpse of his double. There is an...

Hey all, next update should be up by the end of the week. In the meantime, see if you can get Fajitas to explain the "crazed weasel of death" mechanic over in the adaptation thread. It was a great bit that we never (alas) got to see in action.

He does. He just doesn't usually spread it around. ;)

detmo: Yeah, clearly from the state of my notes, memory plays quite a role in reconstruction for me as well. Unfortunately, since I started writing after the game had been running for more than a year, being up-to-date has never really been feasible. el-remmen: Glad you're enjoying! Hard...

Hey everyone! Remember how I promised I'd post my notes once the fight was over? Well, it is and I have. Check out my adaptation thread in this very forum: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=177160.

Part 1: From Table to Page (Some notes on notes) I am a note-taker. I took notes before I started the story hour, before I ever thought that I would start the story hour, and take notes for games and I doubt will ever make it into a story hour. I think this is in part because I tend to...

Adaptation: The Fighting and Re-Writing of the Battle of Agramount “How do you write your story hour?” I’m sure there are as many answers to the above question as there are story hour authors. This thread is designed to explore/explain my own. The “making of” featurette, if you will, buried...

Part the Two-Hundred Eighth In which: we beg to remind the party that their task was to give the archmage an invitation, not to get him killed. The front half of the shadowbeast inexorably pushes its way into the cage with Barnabus, Anvil and Kiara. Anvil raises his thundering warhammer...

I have no idea. If experience is any guide, I won't know for sure until the Wednesday before the weekend. :)

Thanks Starch, and welcome. For the most part, yes. I touch on this in some detail in the promised "table-to-page-to-screen" thread, but my rule of thumb is that if there is a partiuclarly witty, touching, or apt line of dialogue in the story hour... it probably got said at the table. It...

Aw thanks, dpdx. There's a funny story about the null shadows that came up this game actually. It happened when Fajitas was describing their first appearance. Imagine, if you will... Fajitas: And then, out of the shadows of the columns, come two hunched, humanoid figures-- Spyscribe: Oh. So...

Ah, at last... the update! Part the Two-Hundred Seventh In which: our adventurers take on the Count… and friends. Meanwhile, as the parley with the Count has been going on, Kiara and Reyu have been sneaking carefully down the interior passageway. Kiara notices that she can hear everything...

If your DM is concerned that the Mystic Theurge is overpowered, you can tell him or her that I play a Sor 4/Cloistered Cleric 3/MT 1 in a game where she is one of two people in the known world who can cast both arcane and divine spells. Before my DM allowed the build we ran all the numbers...

Part the Two-Hundred Sixth In which: Barnabus finally gets to have his conversation with the Count. The surrender of Etienne and the death of Lady Tempest serve to illustrate to the few remaining guards that perhaps, surrender is the preferable option, and the last of the Count’s forces are...

Part the Two-Hundred Fifth In which: Euro’s revenge. Her spiked chain is spinning so fast it sings as it slices through the air. Before Anvil has time to react Lady Tempeste looses one end, sending it flying straight for Barnabus’ head… and misses. The party does not intend to allow her the...

Two updates! Well, there went my productivity for the morning. :)

The other drawback being you'd still be waiting for the battle to even start. :D I have to confess, I'm not crazy about having a combat take a month or more to post either, it can really kill the flow if the breaks don't go well. But it's what I can do at the moment, and so it's what gets...

Okay, that mental image just made my day. And now, without further ado, a bumper-update. Part the Two-Hundred Fourth In which: the battle is joined. Lord Marmion begins by singing a stirring battle-hymn. Its effects on the guards are obvious, as they straighten in their places, take aim, and...

It would be very very cool to get together, and next time I am in your neighborhood and not visiting my great-aunt, we will have to do so. However, the rumor that I will be relocating to your neighborhood on a permanent basis is, let us say, inaccurate. (I would say that I don't know how these...

Excellent! Ah, he is wiley, but he will not evade you next time. ;)
