The weird thing was, we really didn't even plan it that way. The first 4 or 5 of us had our characters in mind and the others said, "heck, we've almost got seven dwarves as it is..." With the obvious paralells, we all came up with nicknames for the dwarves. Sneaky (rogue), Creepy (psionicist), Shooty (fighter specialized in crossbows), Smashy (cleric/fighter hammer wielder), Slashy (fighter specialized in axes), Noisy (bard), and Ma (cleric). All together, we had a great time in that game.>GreatwyrmAdventuring companies regularly emerge from their holes carrying more gold and silver coins than were ever created in our world's history.

Anyways, what do we have here? A bunch of really scary furballs that would look great as trim on a fancy coat - but they could have an awesome hook, seeing as how they also live in tunnels dug out by giant ants, and they live close to the magic-rich nation of Halruaa, and the fact that gnomes like magic and they live in an area called the bandit wastes which means they might want to raid parts of Halruaa for magic items which Blood-Curdling Scream could use to further his evil plots to take over all of Faerun and kill Elminster and bring him back as a bloodcraving fur hat and Drizzt as matching mittens <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />>Nyaricus (that's me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)My Kill List:Drummers: 12 (pretty easy, though one was a high-level bard)Pipers: 11 (pretty hard... deadly sonic attacks!)Lords: 10 (a big battle, they had very high jump modifiers too)Ladies: 9 (nearly wiped out the whole party; they were shadowdancers)Maids: 8 (we thought it would be easy but they were Battlemaid PrC with dire cattle)Swans: 7 (no sweat)Geese: 6 (we hardly got any xp for this but did have fun terrorizing a farm)Golden rings: 5 (evil entities in the form of gold jewelry)Birds: 4 (they weren't just any birds but calling birds that summoned fiends)French hens: 3 (almost TPK!)Turtle doves: 2 (actually they were dire koopas).Partridge: 1 (it was no challenge...the treant it was roosting in was another matter)>lukelightning-Wizards' Rules-Wizard's First Rule - People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true.Wizard's Second Rule - The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.Wizard's Third Rule - Passion rules reason.Wizard's Fourth Rule - There is magic in forgiveness- the magic to heal! In the forgiveness you grant, and more so in the forgiveness you receive.Wizard's Fifth Rule - Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie. Wizard's Sixth Rule - The only sovereign I can allow to rule me is reason. The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists; what is, is. From this irreducible, bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. This is the foundation from which life is embraced.Wizard's Seventh Rule - Life is the future, not the past. Wizard's Eighth Rule - Deserve victory. Wizard's Ninth Rule - A contradiction cannot exist in reality.Character Quotes"To speak his name is to make him live again!" - Egyptian proverb>Imhotepthewise[/sblock]</blockquote>
