Well, that's irksome...Endur said:
So... exactly how many XPs did we get? I wanted to make sure I didn't miss a level-up or something.
Proudheart is a family name, bestowed seven generations before by a grateful noble. Craven's many-times-great-grandfather was a squire in his service, and had just achieved his knighthood when the noble's cousin was kidnapped. Many experienced knights went to rescue her, and were unsuccessful. The young knight was eager to prove his worth, and proud of his abilities, and promised to deliver the noble's cousin to him. Despite his youth, the noble agreed, for all others had failed, so what harm could come of the boy's attempt?
It took no less than three years for the young knight to track down the cousin's kidnapper. Each time he thought about abandoning his quest, his pride would not let him, and his great love for his lord could not let him rest. Eventually he did find the kidnapper, and dealt justice to him swiftly. He took the lord's cousin home, and the lord bestowed upon him a family name to commemorate his deed. Proudheart, Proud for the pride that refused to let him fail, and heart for the compassion and love that drove him ever onward.

I guess my actions where easy enough to predict.

First Post
I moved through the combat rounds pretty quickly once I realized two things: 1) actions were predictable and 2) some characters had very little they could do to affect the Ogre Skeleton.
My general feeling as a GM is that everyone should always have the opportunity to post and be enabled as much as possible to post. So rather than spend a week or more on an eight round combat, I moved through it in a couple of days.
Isida-
Nice story about the background for Proudheart. You might want to add it to the character sheet.
Craven is going to hit level 3 soon. He will no longer suffer the effects of Fear or Disease. My question is how do you want to handle the acquisation of his new supernatural abilities? One possibility is to continue on, with no noticable effect on Craven, other than that he is immune to those problems. Another possibility is that Craven dreams while he is in a fevered sleep and an Ancestor visits and thanks him for his efforts and tells him of his new abilities. Other possibilities as well.

I like the idea of a dream from one of his ancestors. Though he may find himself free from external fear, it may be that internal fear has become something of a habit, something he still has to remind himself to not succumb to.Endur said:
