JollyDoc's Shackled City

Nicely done JollyDoc. Makes me wonder how the other churches feel about the "Supposed" flood season now.

I wonder, will the church of Tyr take advantage of their foresight to boost public opionion? Even a few well placed rumurs and comments in a bar or two could have a telling effect. Especially if Gardid just happens to metion the contents of his conversations with the heads of the other churches while telling the story of his adventures.

Well, to be sure public opinion of the Tyrites has greatly improved, and as you'll see in the next post, Lathander is getting pretty popular as well. The Church of Tempus are glad-handers. If the Tyrites have the ear of the public, the the Tempus worshipers will pay lip service to them, as long as it suits their needs. The Church of Kelemvor is another story entirely...as will be seen in time.

Pretty much. It seems that the others have neither the time nor inclination for powergaming. It might be worth noting that Lee (who plays Wathros) takes significant input from Joachim and myself with spell/feat selection.


Hehe, yup, why let the talents of these fellows go to waste? Although I do sometimes go "bah.. no, Doing this now." Such as taking the natural casting at a rather low level as a feat, which I think has worked out nicely. I definately owe strategic character advice to our two resident experts.

It simply came up that way. Since we were starting 3.5, a lot of us wanted to try something new. The big lure was classes we had never played before like druids and barbarians because they had been re-tooled and re-balanced to match with spellcasters at higher levels. Also, I think many of us want to play classes where you get something interesting at each level..

Agreed Gfunk, I wanted to try out the new retooled Ranger, and then to not do the same thing, Druid, from the new 3.5. I must say it has turned out well.

Not only does the driud have reasonable hit points and some decent offensive spells, the animal companion is certainly pretty handy to have in many situations.

oh, best quote from the game for me (I died laughing)

“What happened?” Pez asked.
“The elf turned inta a bird and flew away,” Gardrid said dryly.
“No, seriously,” Pez said.

Good to see you on the boards Lee. BTW, I went back and edited all the bad things I said about you, so don't worry.;)


Good stuff as always guys. I'd just like to note that 3.5 druids are sick. I'm playing one in a campaign that is currently lvl 11. The versatillity and raw power he can do in either melee or spell combat is insane. Not to mention a lot of cool things used for scouting too. The druid is the ultimate "5th wheel" or even a 4th as he can be made to do every aspect of the typical 4 party all packed into one!

How do you guys find time to write story hours? I started mine and am like 4 weeks behind (only wrote half the first session!)

Keep up the spectacular work!

No problems G, I already read them, and am hand pouring my ammo for revenge, using the tiny figures of my melted dreams. (well, lead miniatures, sorry, bad movie reference.)

Thanks for the kind welcome G, I must say I am really enjoying the style and quality of the writing you guys are posting to here, I actually ended up staying up to 2:30 this morning reading, I was so hooked.

Ah well, I am off to taste test arsenic on veggies with my coworkers, to see if it is detectable or not...

Cool, check out my SH as well if you haven't already done so (link is in my sig). There are more than a few Noir fans.

Well, I read your posts, but I seem to have missed the Noir fans, I will have to go look and re-read.
 


Finally, Tallarn has come back to the story hour! :D

I can't believe I missed this one! Well, now I'm all caught up, and I must say I've enjoyed it immensely! Pez, Tilly and the rest are all excellent.

One thing that would be nice is an exact break down of Name/Race/Class/Level for each character, or at least those we haven't seen as yet.
