First Post
4th try is a charm? :/
Wow first of all I have to say that this is a blast fromt he past...reading this is kinda like reliving 10 years ago.
I will help out and try to remember what happened as you go along.
Some small ammendments:
When we went back to question the widow of Dinagar, Morden Kein let it slip that we (me) had pilfered dinagars diarys against the widows wishes. The widow called her guards. I think Malfords first move was to throw a dagger at Morden Kein cussing her out for being so stupid. It missed her thudding into the wall near her head. Guards rushed in, Malford cast a sleep spell that dropped the widow, a guard maybe, and Morden Kein (who failed her 90% elf resistance to sleep/charm, which I remember at the time suprised me greatly) In a tooth and nail fight to get out alive Malford cast a burning hands on the guards and set the curtains on fire. After besting the remaining guard Malford scrambled out of the burning building leaving behind the magically sleeping occupants to meet their fiery fate...So I guess he murdered them, but he didnt slit their throats..hehe
Also on the Parrot Isles, The sentinal guarding the magic coconut tree was tough and had a bunch of ward spells on him. While Dextor was distracting the guard. Malford shot the coconut out of the tree and had Polly his parrot familiar snatch it. (What is the air speed velocity of a parrot carrying a coconut?)
In retrospect reading these posts I have to agree with Jeff that alot of the best characters died premature...omg Craig's poor gnomes!! But it was a high fatality world no clerical necromancy available, down right vicious critical hits (As you readers have only got a taste of yet...chuckle) ,and just some plain ol sheer stupidity. All caused many a good man to go down before his prime. Just thinking about poor Vido makes me giggle "Why couldn't the spider have bit me in the arm, instead of the torso, cause then at least I could have maybe choped my arm off to stop the poison."
One thing that I think you have touched apon but should elaborate was that Dextor had a 6 charisma. In the begining he was a oily, pockmarked, overweight teenager. He had major major self-esteem issues. He hated himself, he hated his family, he hated his powers that made him different from everyone else, and most of all he hated the fact they he had a destiny that he could not control. Oh and my personal fav...HE HAD A BIG X'd OUT B BRANDED ON HIS FORHEAD, that he would try to cover up with bandanas and such. Dextor was Malford's salvation from the dark to the light, and what was originally pity was replaced with admiration.
I love what you have done so far keep it up, and I will try to chime in from time to time.
