[OOC] House Millithor in City of the Spider Queen

[Serpenteye]

"Trolls have feelings too"

True, true. I'm playing a Half-Fiend Troll in another campain on these boards (Uriel's UaVS: The Silver Door game). He's got plenty of feelings. Feelings of rage, pride, madness and treachery, and the powerful desire to devour his fellow party members (one of whom just happens to be the firstborn daughter, priestess of Lolth, and apparent heir of a Drow noble House). When I started playing him I had no idea that I would soon find myself in the opposite of that situation in this game. It does put things into perspective.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

serpy I didn't know you had such a soft side.

In all honesty I think everyone should step away and play a race far from his or her normal... Though I'm not sure what my normal would be... Guess a Bugbear to be honest, but most of my other PbP run the spectrum on both race and sex.

 

[Serpenteye]

Lol

I tend to play evil or neutral-selfish spellcasters. The freedom that evil gives combined with the flexibility of spellcasting opens up so many options for advancement and role-playing. Many good campains are so simplistic, you know exactly who your enemies are, who to kill and who to trust, the truth is just a Detect Evil away. I suppose I should try to play LG, if I could find a DM that could make it interesting.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

I use off the rack Final Fantasy to figure out what would they expect a LG to do.

My "LG" is being a spell caster... My last wizard was way back in 2nd edition.

Sorry to be off topic this morning I'm just dying of boredom at work... I'm about to stable my hand (non-typing) to my head for entertainment!

"It's a pity Matron Ki'Willis thinks so little of spies and the value of information. After all, it was she who admonished me, telling me that appearances can be deceptive, and deception deadly. How ironic."

I should, perhaps, clarify what I wrote. In no way did Ki'Willis imply that spies were of little use, she merely suggested that they can be a double-edged sword and that their knowledge can be extracted by their intended targets and used against their employers. In such a paranoid environment as the underdark I imagine it's a common occurrence that the rich and powerful routinely have the elite of their servants subjected either to mind-reading or mind-controlling magics to determine their loyalty. And if their loyalty is in question they would naturally be subjected to greater efforts to reveal any important information they may posess. It's only prudent and not that difficult to arrange in a high magic setting.

Besides, Ki'Willis certainly never intended for Jena to hear her, nor do I think that was Yyssiriryl's intention. She and Yyssiriryl were speaking to each others rather quietly.

 

[Endur]

Enemies: Servants of Chaos and Evil
Who to Kill: See Above
Who to Trust: Your Axe, Your Wolf, and Your Hearthmate
Detect Evil: Over-rated. Sense Motive Rocks.

Hammer of Moradin
Dragonslayer

Many good campains are so simplistic, you know exactly who your enemies are, who to kill and who to trust, the truth is just a Detect Evil away.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

The Matron curses inwardly, knowing that her plan is no longer valid. Yyssiriryl was correct, of course, they would have to leave, and put some distance between them and Menthol Derith before it was time to rest. All their business had to be concluded today. Once again they would have to flee from the rebellion and once again it would cost them disgusting amounts of money.

Before you summon the waiter and ask for the check you might want to bump up are timeline as our meeting is suppose to be tomorrow.

 

[Serpenteye]

I'll have Yyssiriryls servant contact the mercenaries (you too) when the fight is over, unless Dariel is defeated and we can't afford to hire you. We could simulataneousy send word to the parties who are likely to be interested that Endur is for sale. Then go to be probed by the Illithids, investigate the markets and compare prises, sell Endur, hire mercenaries, go shopping and leave town.
Something like that.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

I think if Dariel gets defeated I'm going to be madder than him. *L*

 

[Endur]

Hey, Dariel should be grateful that his weapons volunteered to take the hits.

If Endur were swinging his axe at Dariel's body instead of his weapons, Dariel would have been shattered.

I think if Dariel gets defeated I'm going to be madder than him. *L*
