It seems to me, that someone promised Sialia some updated spells in exchange for an update. And a link should be posted to them from this thread.

There have been many updates since then. Did this ever happen and I missed it?

BTW very enjoyable writing. I found this thread while waiting for one of the 17 other story hours I follow to be updated.

LAST PAGE?
I didn't believe there would be an end - that I would ever catch up!

Excellent Story Hour!
Bandeeto's and Sialia's sum up a very fun duet in the end (although I thought it a bit jarring initially).

There's been 7 months since Sialia last posted and a lot more since Bandeeto gave us anymore of Arcade's reminescing, any chance we'll ever get some more?

Perhaps I should go pester Sialia on some thread she has been more active lately ("Kiln Fired DM"?). I would do the same for Bandeeto if only I ever knew where to find him (or where to find "some one who knows where to find him").

Well, great praise for all the storytellers in this thread and my unending thanks for the excellent week catching up with it.

Solely for my own amusement, I will post a short list of Bando's dwarfy swears on a new thread. This should die a quick death, but it may create some interest.

See Dwarven Swearing 101.

---> Edit: I moved the dwarfy swear thread to general discussion, and added a link above. At your service!

Bandeeto, any chance you are still around and know of another location for this? getting a 404 not found error when I use the link.

Thank you,
GW

Will do, probably this weekend.

Here's the culmination of the "I'll convert to 3e discussion". thatdarncat, did you ever convert them?

Thank you,
GW

Thanks sir Knight.

A gamer friend of mine came up with this possible 3.5 spell interpretation for Dylrath's Voracious vermin. Posted here to hopefully get some response from out esteemed authors.
Thanks,
GW

How about this:
Dylrath's Voracious vermin
Level: 0
Range: Sight
Duration: 1 round/level
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Area of Effect: 1 small container
Saving Throw: special

Description: This spell creates 1d4 magical pests for every 5 levels of the spell caster which consume material spell components. (The caster may choose a number fewer than what was rolled but not greater. See below.) They can consume one component per round. They have a life span of 1 round/level of the caster. They stay on the person the spell is targeted on. They do not reproduce. The component is choosen randomly.

All items that are not magical and have a value of less then 10gp, have no saving throw and are automatically consumed. Magical spell components get a +10 to their saving throw. Non-magical components get a +1/50gp value. So a component that costs 200gp gets a +4 to the saving throw. The saving throw is DC 15 + spell caster's level. The victim can choose to 'save' 1 component per 5 levels. By saving the component, the victim can add their character level to the saving throw.

The victim of the spell has a chance to notice the effect of the spell.
(DC 20 + spell caster's level) vs Spot check +1/magical pest.

After the spell duration is over, the pests remain in the container. The caster may choose what the pests remains look like. The remains are no larger then maggots. The caster may choose the remains to look like flies, maggots, butterflies or even dragons or chimera's. The remains turn into dust after 1 minute/caster level after the victim looks into the container.

This spell is intended for spell component pouches and thus would not affect larger containers. For example, a chest containing a bolt of cloth would only have a small portion of the cloth eaten away.

(Note: I can sit down and determine how much later, if anyone is interested. If someone actually wants to use this spell, let me know and I'll work out those details.)

Balance Issues: I know this is a 0-level spell. And for a 0-level spell, it can be pretty nasty. However, I figure with the saving throws allowed and the rather tame effect, it should be ok. I'd be interested to hear from someone who disagrees. On the whole, this is more of an anoyance since you can get most spell components pretty easily. The harder to find components should all get a pretty decsent chance to resist the effect.

I should write up another 0-level spell that protects spell pouches from this effect. (The arms race begins. )

Not that Si can't come up with material from the archives on a moments notice, but be aware that she's got *lots* of material stored up. Most of it will be triggered by a final accounting of the Defender's foray into the White Kingdom. So after you've seen Pcat bring things to a heart thumping (or possibly heart-eating) conclusion there, watch this space. Before then, you're at her mercy, which is boundless, framed by her availability, which is limited.

No, I never did. Now that I'm laidoff I might have time though Will PM Sialia and see, though I seem to recall some stuff going in one of the portable holes.

 

[Graywolf-ELM]

Sorry to hear about the job loss. If you don't have the time, we'll keep doing conversions piecemeal and posting them here.

Thanks,
GW
