OOC - Graverended Grimoire (House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen V)

[Brother Shatterstone]

On a side note it is scary just how close there name sets for the two sets of twins are...

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

And the fact that I didn't even realize there were a set of vampiric twins before...

Fun poke at Serpenteye
Are we playing D&D or Diplomacy...?

There's more to power than killing big bad monsters for someone elses sake, that's the stuff of low-level games.

Name your character Fzoul.
(hint from the peanut gallery)

I don't really want to play another cleric, plus I couldn't afford Fzoul since he's 20th level and a Chosen. I doubt I could do him justice anyway.

I don't even think that low level games should simply only deal with this...

Then again I've gone 4 to 6 months in a PbP game without being involved in combat so I'm not quite normal...

 

[Endur]

Whoops. I didn't mean to let out Isida's secret plan regarding Torellan's impending doom.

Repeat after me. There is no relationship between the two sets of twins.

And the fact that I didn't even realize there were a set of vampiric twins before...

FYI, the fifth book in the War of the Spider Queen comes out next month. The title is "Extinction". The sixth and final book comes out in January (title is "Rebirth").

Not if the big bad monsters are all ECL 20.Besides, my Murderer-for-a-Lower-Power has schemes of his own...

Anyways, my comment was
(a) a jest
and
(b) in regards to a whole lot of supposition on your and the DM's part in relation to how powerful our characters are in the World.
I don't see your 20th Lvl character as being able to take over a significant part of a Country, sorry. This is especially true in the FR setting, where there are a billion High level NPC superstars from the books/20 years of campaign building to stop you.
This is, however, just my opinion. That earlier exchange between you and isada just sounded like a game or two of Diplomacy/Supremacy/insert scheming boardgame game here.
This should be a fun one.

In lighter news, I will be away from my computer until mid Tuesday, so Eol might have to make a slightly delayed entrance into the game (which Isada mentioned a Tuesday start for, I believe).

Levels alone mean little, I agree. If 1st level aristocrats can take over whole nations then why couldn't my 20th level character be able to take over a part of a country? Not by brute personal force alone but by scheming, manipulation and murder.

Isida, I won't be able to post very frequently for the next few weeks because of vacation-stuff. I should be able to get to an internet-connection every other day or so, though.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Well, this may be FR, but this is Isida's FR. And in Isida's FR, 20th level ruthless, intelligent spellcasters with ambition, money, and patience can take over countries and make their own empire. And the last two remaining members of two drow houses can become the dominant power in their section of the Underdark. I mean, what's the fun of being 20th level if you can't rule at least part of the world?
