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

Re: No Problem...

QB -

No problem. We are still debating #1 (I want to, but my wife's not sure yet) and we yes to #2. She is a nurse, but has never done OB or Peds, so I'm sure it will be fun!

My wife wanted to know ahead of time with Griffin and I didn't, so we made a deal: she could attempt to find out whether we were having a boy or girl this time, and IF we decide to have a third child, the gender would be a surprise. As for the child-birthing classes, I rather liked them overall. Hopefully you and the missus enjoy them too!

About gender and ultrasounds: it's a surprise whenever you find out, and knowing in advance sure saves you money on the nursery set up.

I came home from the hospital in a lovely pink gown because my mother was absolutely convinced that I would be a girl. She had three sons instead.

About the story hour: I do enjoy the "getting involved in mysterious powers" feel that the campaign has turned to. After the initial low power adventures in the country, you've managed to create a right and proper sense of terror and wonder in the group that must be a lot of fun.

I've got a question aout Lew falling off the balcony. How did it happen? It sounds like Rose pushed him off by accident, but how did this happen in-game? (I.E., how did you rule that this happened?)

Sparrowhawk -

Thanks for dropping by! Everyone was crowding towards the right hand corner of the curtain and Lew went through first. Rowan was in Rose's way, so the barbarian shoved Rowan forward, slamming him into Lew. I rolled a 'scatter' die to see which way Lew went and it was right towards the parapet.

One blown DEX check (DC 10) later, Lew flipped over the balcony. I gave Lew a DC 15 DEX check to catch himself (which he did), but he failed the DC 10 STR check to hang on. Essentially, too much happening in a confined space near a hazard...

Thanks for the baby tips!

Long time, no post! The campaign has definitely taken an interesting turn. The party is involved in several major and numerous minor plot lines currently...many of which are intertwined to some degree (sorry guys, can't tell you which ones are which).

I am glad you like the new direction, although some of the PCs are longing for the simple dangers of the North!

A slight delay...

Greetings All!

It will be a few days until I can get an update in. My younger brother is coming to visit for a week and I am taking him on a "History Tour" of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic US. We are hitting:

West Point - My Alma Mater

The Old Rhinebeck Aerodome

Gettysburg Battlefield

Antietam Battlefield

Should be lots of fun!

Be back soon with more Faded Glory goodness.

Update(s) Coming...

Greetings All!

I appreciate that bumps! Just back in from the "History Tour" and had a grand time. Unfortunately, being out of the office for 5 days means my desk is piled high with work.

I am shooting for late Friday/early Saturday for posting the next update...stay tuned!
