Gaming W/Jemal: Planar Quest! (Closed)

[Scott DeWar]

that a certain charm to it.

Having said that, I have to admit to having a mental exhaustion, as I still suffer from last year's sickness, so I may be a bit slow to respond to the, the most challenging game I have worked on ever.

Worry not friends. I am not quitting, I am just going to slow down on creative writing. This may only last a couple of days.

Ok, I looked for

Fighting armored ogres ridding even more heavily armored dire bears in the frozen wastes below the South Peak Glaciers. Ur uses Expansion for the first time.[/quot]

and didn't find it anywhere, BUT, in case it is there and I just simply missed it:

One of the tasks of Gerard's besides helping Ur to make it through life with his mental breakdown is to check into incursions of undead any where he is sent. One time was in the area of the mountains held as sougvern territory of the ogre tribe known as the Fists of Ogruk. this tribe was just a play toy to the frost giant who calls himself Ogruk, good father in giantish, and "benevolently gave" a large portion of mountainous land to a small tribe of hungry ogres. this land had cattle and sheep herders in the summer-easy food for the hungry and preditious tribe who were told that the herdsmen were trespassers.

ogruk took some of the tribe and organized them-miners to get iron ore from the earth, bearhandlers to train. others did his bidding as his needs. eventually he had shock troops to guard his territory while he did his actual work: to raise the undead king of frost giants known as Marazel Epan. [awakened advanced iron infused skeleton [+ 1 size] high priest of cloud giants] A name that was only said in whispers, if at all.

OOC: am I going too far with this? stop me now if I am.

It was mentionned in Ur's "Power Explanation" sblock in the RG


Well, it depends. What's the rest of the story (how did the PCs win (assuming they even won)?)? Perhaps most importantly, what did they take out of it? What was gained/lost/what changed because of this adventure?

My idea when putting up the Scrolls was that it would be a reference for important milestones in the party's history: adventures that brought in new members, that saw the loss of old members, that led to finding out about major plot point (Iridex for example) or to major changes in (one or more) PC's life (the discovery of the Book of CiAn, leading Ur to begin taking Psychic Fist levels, conflicts, important life events, meaningful/signature magic items/spells, etc. Does that help frame things a little in your head re your story?

I put it under the "Numerous Adventures" heading in the RG post (meaning Tutek wasn't there for this one). Let me know if you see it somewhere else instead.

Put the Desert adventure in there as well, though I'm waiting with baited breath - like us all, I imagine - for details on Jemal's Lich quest before we can even begin to work out the exact chronology of these later quests. Jemal, any hints? Where would this quest have taken place for example? Rauland? The Eternal Empire? Dealer's choice? Why must it absolutely be the most recent one?

Sorry but I needed recharging to address this, but that I shall do on the morrow. I really am sorry to belabor my response and story continuation, but last year really was a traumatic occurrence.

Been feeling ill, not really up to typing out all the background, had hoped to have it up sooner, but will get on it soon as I can.

 

[Binder Fred]

No problems, Scott and Jemal. I'm eager to hear your reponses, sure, but RL goes first -- and anticipation builds the suspense.

 

[Scott DeWar]

on top of every thing else, inter net access has been spotty and techs will be out tomorrow to fix it. don't know how that will pan out.

 

[Zerith]

Last call? is this still open?
... I need my 3.5 Fix *twitches*

 

[Scott DeWar]

oh, sorry. Let me help you with that twitch.

*turns off the ssl on the sspwm dimmer*

[ssl= solid state lighting-LED lighting]
[sspwm=solid state pulse width modulating dimmer]

heh, was on a pod cast about the strobing effects of dimmerson led lighting this morning.

 

[Zerith]

oh, th*Twitches*t is not it, S*twitch*ger high.
Candy was *twitch* on sale. Perhaps too much? *Hyper twitch/back flip onto ceiling*

off the jokes though :3

I was thinking of... Playing a (half dragon) Kobold!
Starting at ECL 20 means you can payoff 3 LA easy

this said, assuming its still ok to join I was thinking of making the character 'innately' imbued with magic, as apposed to having alot of gear for magical bonuses. IE: Sculpt self.

The base of sculpt self is it is a feat that allows you to use exp to enchant yourself for the cost of a slotless item converted into xp: could I use it and just use the giant mass of gold to buff for it? I don't want a dragony character to need a load of items ^_^;

(pros to it:items can't be stolen or lost, no practical limit)
(Cons not cost affective, at all, can't sell out dated enchantments/thingies)

 

[Jemal]

Sorry, I've already turned a couple people away, just haven't gotten around to changing the title.
If somebody else where to start up a different game though, then there'd be room for people (myself included!)

 

[Zerith]

Dange nab it >_<

 

[Jemal]

*Test*

Hmm weird, wrote up my big long post with info but every time I try posting it it gives me an error page, yet I CAN post..
Perhaps it's too long? Good thing I saved it in wordpad!
I'll try again and then maybe split it into a couple posts if I have to.
weird..
