Gfunk-JollyDoc Crossover Story Hour [Updated 4/30]

[Lela]

@Lela: Give this guy equipment, if you want him to be a challenge! How big is your party?

PCs: 17th level Druid (9th level spells suck for those guys), 15th Orog BBN (+2 ECL, RoF), 25th level Custom Blackguard Centaur (10 Ftr, 15 Blk, just traded his soul for 10 temporary levels, Reincarnate spell made him Centaur), and 16 Pixie (subject of Reincarnate).

NPCs/Cohorts: 16th level Kobald Wizard (named Yip, cohort), 15th Fighter, Legendary Wolf (animal companion), 4th (or so) Fighter Centaur (was Awakened animal companion wolf, Reincarnated), 13th (or so) Rogue Vampire Halfling (that's Mr. Halfing to you, cohort).

All together, counting animal companion (hp shield if I ever saw one): 8 characters.

I'm used to DMing around 14 but several players left. I'm having it much easier but I've also lost a lot of my CR instinct. Besides which I generally flatten the PCs anyway. Part of the reason I'm looking for help here.

Are you kidding? That must have been some soul . How temporary are those levels anyway?

Just the Hextor fight, actually. The campaign (battle wise) is over after that anyway, so he could technically keep them if he wanted to. Really, it's a bad deal. Your soul for an advantage in one fight? Not even lasting power.

He feals that Tyr betrayed him though. Hextor has his wife's soul and, through the manipulations of everyone's favorite Duke of Hell, he considers it partly Tyr's fault. Player's choice, not mine (nobody yell at me again). Hextor plans to use the wife's soul (16th level Paladin) to open the gates of Hell, where he's made arrangements to become another Duke. Since there's currently no position open, the current Dukes are working to prevent that (most of them anyway).

He's taken up with Tiamat (Nemises of the Gods). Titilvious (spelling intentional, I changed the name to match my pronounciation cause I felt like it), arranged the whole thing for Tiamat and got a huge amount of stuff, along with future favors, for doing so. Titilvious also wants to make sure Hextor never makes it to Hell, so he's been working on the other side. Technically, Titilvious temporarally transfered 10 levels from himself to Runir (our centaur Blackgard friend). Nobody knows that though and he plans to keep it that way. Can't let the enemies know when you're weak.

For the record I'd like to see this SH put into PDF- it's much easier to read that way. It'll be better for when I use this to prove that dnd truly IS interactive storytelling, rather than just a video game played on paper (though lord knows my dm/players treat it that way. I wish I could play dnd sessions like your's).

Dangit gfunk, hard to choose. Hmmmm, I guess I'd go with the first option. Mostly because if you get it done now everything will come much clearer (all those game moments around the table you want to include).

I like both ideas, but I don't like anything that slows the completion of number 1 down.

@gfunk: Cool, I didn't read this thread anymore, but would really like a version of your exploits in PDF. If you took the time and added pictures, you could greatly improve the reading experience! However, it might be difficult to find good pictures for some of the scenes/characters (especially Entropy - how many pics of beautiful women with tentacles are out there).

Just wanted to let everyone know that the PDF project has begun in earnest. And it will be the "collector's edition." Replete with game commentary and pics of our gaming group.

Yay!

Greetings everyone,

Now this is relatively tentative, but we may see the continued adventures of Entropy, Joachim, Hor'ahun, and Noir.

In the wake of the Great War, the Githyanki Lich-Queen begins gating in massive warships from the Astral Plane to conquer her weakened enemies in the Prime.

With the armies of the Dales in shambles and with many great leaders slain, who will stop this juggernaut?

Who indeed . . .

Since JollyDoc's campaign may be put on pause for a bit (we seem to have run out of Adventure Path modules), prepare to re-enter Gfunk's SH -- 3.5!

Mmm,very interesting choice of module.The Githyanki Invasion seems very nice and epic on paper,but I'm waiting to see how it will go in play.I wonder,how will the old party reunite in a non-metagaming way?I guess an all-out attack from an alien race makes up for old rivalries,eh?
