JollyDoc's Shackled City

What I'm really finding fun is the contrast between the two groups. Good and Evil is portrayed to the extremes in either group. Entropy first with Pez and later, to a greater severity, with Caine. While Joachim already had a good contrast to Amal, Rusty provides another base. Really, the extent is amazing.

Assuming enough of them live, I wouldn't be surprised to see the two groups come to an Epic face off. JollyDoc might just sit back and watch while the players play against themselves. I think he's done it before. Always entertaining.

As I've said before, I plan for Entropy and Co to play a large part in the latter parts of the adventure path. Wouldn't everyone love to see Epic Caine go toe to toe with Epic Entropy?

Well, that whole Peace thing might put a damper on Caine's can of woop all. But I think it would be hilarious for the Aura of Peace or Yoke of Mercy to affect Entropy. I mean, that would be viscious.

Of course, her +Infinity Will save might be a problem but I'm sure that can be solved. For example, an Antimagic Field could be just the thing Caine could use to take her down. Have a Tank close the distance with some kind of Quickened Dimension Door positioned above the field and drop into place (possibly onto her) and start a grapple.

Hmmmm, I wonder if that could really work. . .

Hmmm...thanks for the idea

Assuming Caine survives to epic levels and actually goes head to head with Entropy (both assumptions are tenuous, but let's continue for the sake of discussion), he would be quite well equipped to take her down.

For one, he has no magic items to speak of, making him effectively immune to disjunction. Furthermore, his Calming Aura will have a DC of 27 which is not a cakewalk save even for Entropy.

In addition to his host of abilities from Apostle of Peace and high-level benefits of Vow of Poverty, it would be an interesting battle indeed.

Caine can't hurt Entropy. Entropy can't hurt Caine.

One of the most fascinating battles to the death of all time. . .

Solution? Antimagic Field is always the answer.

So, when do you guys plan to start playing the 5th adventure? I got it last Thursday and I'm really interested in seeing how your characters deal with this one........

Well, I'm on the Dungeon subscription list, which usually means I'm one of the last ones to get the latest issue, so I haven't received mine yet.

This just in...I finally received the latest installment of the path, and the Smoking Eye looks pretty awesome so far! With any luck, events with the Liche Queen over in Gfunk's SH should be wrapping up in the next 2-3 weeks. Then our group will be resuming the adventure path, and new updates will be forthcoming.

PS...I have just been invited to participate in a live chat forum here on ENWorld about the SH. Kind of a live Q & A with some of the writers of the SH's. It's tentatively scheduled for Wed, Feb 18 at 7pm CST. I'll keep everyone posted on details as they come. Hope to talk 'live' with some of you there!

That should be a great time to try out my new IRC client. Not that I've used IRC in more than a year but still.
