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

[Neverwinter Knight]

Wow, what a cliffhanger! I wouldn't want to be Joachim (the character) right now...

Nice update, gfunk, but that cannot be all of it...you spoke of Entropy testing the party in between preparations, did you not?

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

The plot not only thickens, it becomes unbearably sticky!

 

[Joachim]

Having his carnal desires typically satisfied by wenches or eager acolytes, Amal was unsure of how to proceed. He stood and approached the Alienist cautiously. Amid all the blood and carnage, he never noticed what an . . . alien beauty his traveling companion possessed. As Bane taught, knowledge was power and in this particular case it seemed as if he could give into his baser desires to gain both. Seizing Entropy by the back of her shoulder blades, the Dreadmaster drew her face to his as they kissed passionately.

I feel...dirty.

Yeppers, one more to go to catch the campaign up. Then it's back to Shackled City!

I feel...dirty.

Well, you should have thought about that before you did it.

 

[Lela]

Oh, cool.

 

[Jeremy]

YES!

THAT was worth it!

 

[JollyDoc]

Gfunk did a bit or research, and pointed out to me that the Forbiddance in effect for the Lich Queen's palace prevents the summoning of ALL creatures, not just good-aligned ones. In the battle, this would not have made a great difference, since Entropy's minions were Gated, but there was the matter of that earth elemental that Amal brought in.

Also, spells tied to the Forbiddance, ie the Invisibility Purge, can be made very specific. For example, the IP could only affect beings who do not revere Vlakith. All this honesty of Gfunk's part works in favor of the bad guys (umm...the githyanki that is), so applause to him for his upstanding moral character. That will make a nice epitaph on Entropy's tombstone.

 

[Lela]

I've always liked the idea of a Darkness spell affecting those who aren't/don't X. That could be really viscious.

 

[Jeremy]

I thought Hallow/Unhallow was the spell that could have spells attached to it? Very specific as to whom they would affect too.

Forbiddance I believe stops all extradimensional travel, planeshift, gate, teleport, dimension door, summon monster, etc. But he was correct, that block applies to all alignments and creatures, the only alignment related function is who can and can't physically walk into the zone.

 

[Lela]

Yes, it's Hollow/Unhollow. I just assumed JollyDoc mistyped.
