Taunting the players is not going to earn you DM points.

I was not taunting. I was merely making the observation that Zorn is a great guy, and that everyone likes him.

You'll get over this little obsession you have with Maglibiyut, Thar . . . just give it a little time.

PS Trivia question: who said the following?

"I like Shinobi Killfist the best. I'm going to kill him *first*."

Dude, I really like this campaign, and it inspired me in a way. I'm going to run a campaign titled "Goblin Quest" for a few friends, and guess what, all the characters are... goblins!

Maybe you'd like to do some playtesting for me . I happen to have a little module I'd like to have a 3rd party try out . . . email me, or let me know your current email address (the one in your profile is broken) if you'd like to know more!

And the one remaining skeleton fought on.

5th of Charder

The party entered the camp and discovered Gariarch’s body, dead and stripped. All of the goblin and kobold slaves were also dead, slain where they stood chained to the walls. Gariarch’s private quarters were also stripped of valuables. Signs of Mikek, Blood Pulp, and Igor were conspicuously absent. The party stood, looking at each other in despair. They had fought hard, losing a valuable companion in the process, and had been robbed of any reward for their efforts.

Those Skeletons don't know when to quit

You know it. One of these days I'm going to get to animate something bigger than a bugbear, and then we'll really have some fun.

To me my smelly minions!

Or just one failed save, eh? You should subtitle this portion of the campaign, "How to win friends and influence people... through the use of mind control and gratuitous violence."

Ah, who do I think I'm kidding? When you're a humanoid, violence is never gratuitous.

We'll have to talk offline about this, but it occurs to me that

1) There are a huge number of bones (most of dead slaves) in G's place
2) If you put all of those bones together, you should be able to get something bigger than a bugbear skeleton
3) There should be nifty necromantic spell or ritual or something that allows you to do exactly that . . .

As you know, in my campaign saying "there should be a spell or ritual" is the same as saying "there IS a spell or ritual, we just have to figure out the particulars". If you want to take first crack, go ahead. Don't think there was anything like it in either of our Necromancy splatbooks.

I think if you are "asembling" somthing out of available bones then that might be a "Golem" rather than a traditional undead creature.

A module, you say? I'm game. But since I'm breaking up with my current group, I'll have to start all over with my plans for Goblin Quest. Originally I had intended this campaign to start at level 8, but since I'm not a fan of high-level play I'm changing it to level 3 anyway.

The irony is, that my current group has all the characters made already (5 8th level goblins), and now I'm jumping out of the group and taking my two best players with me.

So just send me the module thingy, and I'll see if I can make this work. I've just updated my profile to my new e-mail address.
