JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

[JollyDoc]

You could let him write the updates - sounds like he has some time on his feet, sorry, I mean hands... Will you be performing the operation?

Alas, no. I'm a pediatrician. That boy's pushing 40...needs geriatrics )

Hopefully Richard will be updating imminently...hint hint...

Ok, since Richard hasn't been able to post yet, I thought I'd give you guys a bit of a teaser of events in tonight's session. As you may recall, I have sent the group on a "linker" adventure in between the events of Foundation of Flame and Thirteen Cages. BTW, I received Strike on Shatterhorn this weekend, and it looks awesome!

The party is currently side-tracked on the plane of Acheron, desperately trying to find their way back home. Unfortunately, the sole portal back lies in the stronghold of a warlord named Imperagon. The band reached this fortress tonight, after almost three weeks of wandering the wasteland of the plane of battle. Along the way, the encountered a pair of Imperagon's pet blue dragons. Let's just say the group survived, but knew they'd been in a fight.

Shortly after arriving at the Iron Fortress, they interrupted the nap of a guest of the warlord's...a half-fiend cloud giant and his pet fiendish ten-headed cryohydra. At the end of this fight, only have the party was left standing. No deaths, mind you, but a definite smack-down brawl! And this was just in the first room of the fortress. The best is yet to come!

Sounds good, although I did not really like that particular module. It should fit this band of powergamers very well!!!

PS: Now would be a good time to requote Silvermane's post from last week :

Weekend is done and here I am checking for updates that are not there
"Bah, men and their promises!"
*Stalks off to do some serious sulking in the corner of her room*

To be honest, as it was originally written, I didn't either. That's why we never ran it with Entropy's group in the 3.0 adventure path. However, as you will (some day) see, I have altered it alot to mesh in with the ongoing adventure.

Richard tells me he hopes to post this week. His fiance has monopolized the computer last week for school work.

Just kidding, Joachim, update away!

After reading that description I have one word...ouch.

I hate to be a party pooper, but you can't take greater weapon spec...you need 12 levels of fighter to do it. Drop it and take cleave

Yah yah yah. I have no excuses, except that I was out of town for business this week. That and I have really allowed no time to post. It will get done one of those years.
