JollyDoc's Shackled City

[gfunk]

WIth a party full of Exalted characters I doubt it'll be too long before you start earning the ire of some way evil guys. This should be fun.

Especially when Entropy takes an active interest.

Yep, come to think of it, maybe JollyDoc would allow me to re-tool Entropy with the Book of Vile Darkness. That would be sweet!

BTW, here are a couple of interesting game notes about Caine that JD didn't have a chance to include:

• The total cash value of Caine's contribution to the Pez Memorial Home for Foundlings was 10,000 gp. 5,000 of this came from the cash reward from Celesete and Davked Splintershield, 4,000 came from our booty from the Kuo-Toan temple (man, that Eryines' bows was worth a hell of a lot), and 1,000 came after Caine asked Celeste for the cash value of his membership in the Cusp of the Sunrise. I don't imagine Caine in his burlap sack is going to make any fashion statements anytime soon.
• Caine's aura of calmness turned out to be mighty useful with the orphans. It's like a new spell, Magic Circle of Ritalin.

That last segment warmed my heart JollyDoc, I know that's how Pez would have wanted to go out.

As usual, excellent writing and tough combats. For a second there I thought we might be facing a TPK.

Magic Circle of Ritalin... lol

Oh and I'm not completely srue what the celestial template gives to animals, aside from the smite evil and some elemental resistances. What else does it give?

SR and DR both based on HD.

I'm not sure if it would have been TPK, but to be sure, if not for Caine's Yoke of Mercy, the outcome certainly would have been bloodier. That imposed a -4 on all of Zenith's hit rolls, and he was still hitting fairly frequently. Also, Wathro's quick thinking on the Faerie Fire (even took me by surprise) probably saved his own butt from the invisible stalker.

YAY! Happy Feelings!

Was kinda disappointed that Gadrid didn't stick around tho.

Never fear...Gardrid may turn up from time to time. Rusty has the Leadership feat now...might take Gardrid as his cohort )

Here's an interesting story:

I had absolutely no idea that we would recover Pez's body. In fact, I was quite confident that the Erinyes had disposed of it in the worst manner possible -- Pez WAS an Archon after all. (Though, in retrospect, I guess decapitating him and hanging him upside down was pretty bad).

ANYWAY, as you know from reading the story update, I had the opportunity to bring Pez back. I really loved playing that crazy Archon. So, while I mulled over the possibility, I asked my fellow PCs:

Richard (Ajax): Do whatever makes you happy, it doesn't matter to me.
Lee (Wathros), Brian (Rusty), Chris (Tilly): WE WANT PEZ!!!

Then, I'm like, WHAT?!?

But I guess they don't like me buffing them up and making their battles easy for them. On the other hand, what can be more frustrating that failing your Will save against Caine's calming aura and having to bear the indignity of an opponent who beats you into a pulp because he did not?

Beware, my fellow players. As my power increases I will become a militant non-violent pacifist wrecking machine!!

I can't think of much. Maybe the party needs to start stacking on some Will Save boosting items. Or if you could help them out with an Owl's Wisdom or something before a fight. Wouldn't hurt them in other areas either.

Whoooo? Little ole' me?

A restraining order? Oh dear, what pray tell do you mean? Did I do something wrong? Please don't take the story away from my babies!
