[QUOTE="phoamslinger, post: 4968288, member: 2342"] I felt that with both entries: [sblock]the River Deltas were just there. both Bedridden Trolls were weak or very replacable, once the acid add-on keeping them in bed was eliminated. Rechan had a stronger Bard, but Atras evoked a more Monstrous response; but still a slight edge went to Rechan there. but Rechan's Slayings, while frightening in the 21st century today, wouldn't be that impressive in a D&D world as opposed to the idea of one irritated high level adventurer massacring an entire town. and Atras' Feet (regardless of how or where they came from; I wouldn't double tap a negative into Severed Feet from a bad use of Bard - maybe a cross class Necro feat would have been appropriate?) were much more integral to the entire story as were his Stones. Rechan's Stone was the weakest of all in either entrly and hit his adventure almost as negative points since it could have been completely eliminated and the story would have remained totally unchanged (with the Abbot simply recommending the players' course of action). so just counting on a item by item basis, as well as my overall feelings at the end, I felt Atras did the better job...[/sblock] ...but there was room for lots of improvement on both of them. I would recommend in the future that you NOT skimp on word count if it's necessary to fully convey the story you're trying to tell. single spaced typed, Rechan's was three pages, Atras' was four. my judgement of the two ran five pages, plus.
