OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 4

[Brother Shatterstone]

I *do* remember Jena! That was an interesting character, and definitely could be used again. I would be willing, except I'd rather be Narcelia.

Well, I was actually thinking maybe for me... Ahh considering I have no character in all. I would need to work on that non-elven name though. I could easily see it been a non-formal shorting of her real name though and the gods know I have ideas on how to explain her unearthly beautify.

Well, the PM's between me and BS were basically talk of a trip (permanent or not) to the surface . . . and I think that's still an option?

Well consider that most of the party would be seriously hampered on the surface I think that option dead when Kilcif's head left his body...

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Well, you guys could always take a trip through slightly less inhabited regions of the Underdark until the pursuit for those still alive dies down or something. From the little I've managed to read it seems this was a heavy political campaign... something I haven't attempted yet, so I'm not quite sure if you wish me to continue in this vein or want to do something completely different. So... what do you guys want?

 

[Xael]

1. Quertus Millithor, House Wizard (14th level Drow, ECL 16). Currently badly beaten (14 HP left) and all too close to a Balor. Fortunately has at least one action before Balor, and Greater Teleport ready... Planning Lichdom, and might have (how the hell should I know) phylactery ready. Has a Quasit (right?, I forgot) familiar named Icho.

2. Would like to continue playing with Quertus, as he's starting to be quite the badass.



As for the direction of the campaing, I'm okay with (about) everything. And since when was the campaing heavy in politics? We just told everybody to shut the f**k up and do as they're told, and then got our buttocks kicked.

...but then Sean Connery went all suicidy, thus effectively killing the plan.

The heroes might have raised him.

Hampered? 95% of creatures have no SR, 90% of creatures fear us like plaque, and 100% of creatures belong to races below our glorious perfection of evolution... Or something.

 

[Dalamar]

The heroes might have raised him.

But I doubt he's willing to negotiate after we killed both him and the what-her-name-was wizardess.

We could try shouting "Parley!" As he rushes to kill us, though

 

[Serpenteye]

I'll go along with anything you guys decide. The power to make any desicions for the group is permanently out of my hands. (and so is the responsibility if things go wrong) It's quite a relief actually.
Wether or not we'll play it politically will be completely in the hands of the party leader (and we'll need a strong leader to get things going again). I enjoy that kind of play, but it's not for everyone.

I think the general CR of our group was 16, the Matron and Torellan were higher (M 18-19 and T 20).

What rules do you have for creating new characters, Isida?

 

[Xael]

I wouldn't be so sure. And we didn't kill him, he died because of the poisonous spores all by himself. And Quertus would be shouting "Halt!".

 

[Seonaid]

I love you guys.

I enjoyed the political aspects, and I think that if we kept the focus on the drow, we'd need to continue in that vein . . . but I would be happy if we don't politicize. I know that I am not good with that, and unfortunately Narcelia is next in line. I doubt I could play a Matron well, so it would be best for me if someone else took the lead. Unfortunately, Narcelia would probably not willingly follow any of the surviving characters.

I agree with Xael's assessment of the surface. We could take 'em! I don't think we need to, or even have any desire to, but it's a possibility. Maybe we could take over the Underdark and then go conquer the surface.

Serp: you did a great job. I'm glad to see you still with us.

 

[Dalamar]

Torellan actually has an ECL 22 (which is 8 higher than anybody else, thanks to the vampire template). And thanks to his weapon of choice (the dagger), he isn't that efficient in being the frontline fighter that he should be.

Now... making a new character with no LA... Say, a psychic warrior with the Claw line of powers and using expansion to gain Huge size... Then also get grip of iron for a bonus on grapple checks... I'd like to see the Balor beating a bonus of +8 (size) +11 (PW BAB at 15th level) +4 (minimum bonus from grip of iron) =+23 grapple bonus before Str mod (Str having a +4 size bonus thanks to expansion)

And the last time you went up there you nearly managed to freeze your ass off.

Then there’s the sun to deal with… I’m sure you’re not very intimidating when you’re wondering around blind. How much of your drow’s equipment is drow in make? Do you still think you would be able to handle your own without it?

Also when Seniod and I were discusing it it was a rather small party that could travel at a high rate of speed without need for rest.

 

[Dalamar]

Actually, drow are blinded only by sudden exposure to bright light. If they just walk in sunlight, they are merely dazzled.

Edit - I believe none of Quertus's equipment is drowcraft, which is the kind that disintegrates in the sun. Equipment that is merely made by drow doesn't have that quality.
