Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

[Old One]

Thanks Rel!

WAHOO!!!

Ok, I'll admit that part of that was because of the update and part was because I beat Darklone and Lela to the punch.

Looking forward to more!

Beating them to the punch definitely requires quick fingers !

Give my old brain a break...

Something Old One left out was Rowan acting as forwad observer for one of Quintus' sleep spells against some of the enemy crossbowmen.
"Quintus, Naptime, 30 feet straight ahead!"

Hey Smarty Pants...

This session was a year ago and I am doing it all from memory ! Actually, now that Tortoise brings that up...I do seem to recall that !

Thanks, Broc...

At long last....

After only a year of teasing !

It is good to be back!

Thank you Old One. I was surprised at how quickly I got back into it. Story elements have been poping up and down in my head as I went threw the update and while they often had little to do with what was going on, it did help me remember who these people are. Rowen and his sword, Rose and his child, Quintus the bird boy extraordinare, and Sextus' penchent for using (and missing with) that Crossbow.

Finally, I can't wait to see what happened to Drusilla. After all, the sooner she's found the better chance she'll be alive. And the more likely she'll want to stay that way.

Lela,

Glad you remembered a thing or two! I must admit this is the most ambitious campaign - from a story element standpoint - that I have ever tried. Hopefully, I will be able to keep all of the balls up in the air.

Thanks!

Update! Ohhhh yeah ...

Thats brisk baby.

(My girlfriend says Yipppeee! but is too lazy to actually get on her computer and post. The foul demon PS2 has possessed her. )

Caliber (note...I didn't say Caliban!),

Thanks for stopping by...

PS - Can't you give your girlfriend something else to play with? !

 

[Old One]

'Bout Time!

Yay... I'll gladly be sick again if that brings another update

Nice to have the group and their funny tactics back again... How often did they have to retreat now against these Shadowblades ?

Darklone,

I figured you were either drunk or dead since you hadn't made an appearence yet !

Or both...

Or both...

I guess I'm a little lost. Like, I don't remember what happened to Lew? Is it possible to give a character summary?

Broc -

Lew was possessed by the spirit of the trapped dwarven high priest of the underground temple to Moradin (details HERE).

Essentially, the party traded Lew's body for Sextus's life (although they didn't understand the gravity of the bargain). IRL, Lew's player, Kris, left for greener pastures.

You, who've tried everything from Demon Invasions to Plane Hopping, are saying this is the most ambitious campaign you've ever tried?

Really, I understand. I'm just nearing the end of my first major campaign and I'm trying to fit everything I want to happen in at the right time. From fitting in with the right levels to remembering what should be where and who should do what, I'm thinking about the game half the time. It's complicated but everything is falling into place and I think it just might work. Considering the experience you have, I have every confidence in you.
