Forrester's Against the Elves Campaign

Re: Re: AtE Session 7

There's quite an interesting -- and fun -- plot we see here.

As a Certified Pprofessional Annoying Nitpicker (CPAN, tm), I've noticed an error:

I guess it's Moroku rather than Mikek.

Heh heh heh . . . er, no comment.

Yes, it's been a tough week for the party. But the attempted charms were less numerous as they trekked around the outskirts of the Hellmouth on the way to Gulg, and pulled at them with less power. On the final day, there were no attempts whatsoever.

Clearly, this is a good sign, no?

Noted and corrected. Thanks.

Ah, the heathen ! They showed impious contempt toward Zorn's Coolness and now they have angered Zorn, and Zorn no longer try to reach them with His Coolness to make them ascend to Zornishness, the ultimate state of enlightenment. (Burning on a stake is the ultimate state of enlightenment.)
Foul pagans ! How could they turn off the glory of becoming a mindless athach chanting Zorn, Zorn, Zorn with the rest of the Zornian Choir ?

Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn...

“The evil genius is using the Jermelaine? I was hoping they would work for us.”

As Foleful's player, and the maker of this comment, I'd like to point out that it's justified by the following divination:

"Would we be pleased with the results of an attempt to recruit or hire the jermelaine?"
"The jermelaines' loyalties lie elsewhere."

I see that someone's finally getting it! YES!

And Foleful, remember that just because the J's have loyalties it doesn't mean that interactions with them would necessarily be unfruitful. You're such a pessimist. I think it comes from rejecting Zorn.

After a week off . . .

Just had another session last night. The death! The destruction! The carnage! Ah, truly beautiful, beautiful things.

Unfortunately, none of those things actually happened. Stupid 5-hour library trips. At least I got some heavy librarian mockage in. (Is there anyone who DOESN'T like laughing at Foleful behind his back? Or even to his face? I mean, what's the Mighty Diviner going to DO? "Oh, Sir, please don't cast Divination at me!"??)

On the plus side, though, I think it's safe to say that Mysteries Were Solved! A possible identity of the Evil Genius was discovered! And one two-timing backstabbing son-of-a-bitch was just possibly found traipsing around in Gulg . . .

I'll let Morrow fill you in on the rest . . . unless Foleful wants to post a summary. It was, to a large extent, his show, as he was Mister Book-Man.

And I have to say, these roleplay-heavy and combat-light sessions are taking their toll on me as a DM. My dice hand is starting to get all twitchy . . . but don't worry. I have a sneaking suspicion that that's all about to change.

Well, maybe. When the orc with two short swords turns into an, what are the things in the Epic Level Handbook, LeShay? Or teleports away or whatever. Still, it's our best shot so far.

I wasn't taking good enough notes to summary -- that's Morrow's job -- but I'll certainly be updating the old "Freetown Generally" book of information. We did learn things. Unless we're all barking completely up the wrong tree. I'd like to come up with some contingency plan for in case Aunt Annie's theory about Auntie Ola and Auntie Entity is completely and totally wrong. Can't think of anything though.

I think our standing back-up plan is still valid:

Kill 'em all, let Maglibuyet sort 'em out.

Then talk to the corpses.

You forget the part about making them your stinky minions.

By the way, you guys never purchased any 5th-level spell components in Gulg. Just a reminder.

I know. We couldn't afford them. Our entire savings went into broker fees and library cards, we didn't have the extra cash for spell components. Sucks to be humanoids don't it?

Maybe those stupendously large spiders we agreed to go after will turn out to be spider-bankers and our money problems will be over. And maybe celestials will start evacuating from my digestive tract.
