[QUOTE="Look_a_Unicorn, post: 1220249, member: 11886"] "Would you believe that I have been glossing over and truncating some of the encounters? " I thought you might have been, heck I know our gaming time is normally 80% resolving combat! "The thing for me is that there are such good little bits of dialogue and tiny bits of action that I jus tdon't want to miss because they were so much fun - but I have mixed feelings this whole section of the campaign (the Necropolis of Doom) and will be happy when I am done recording it - though I hope I can do a good job of describing the dramatic escape from the place (coming probably two installments from this past one)." I guess any static location based adventure always has a problem with pace, especially when the enemies are either unaware of unintelligent & thus can't respond to the PC's actions. Real world events & the PC's response to them are, for me, the bread & butter of Story Hours. It probably also doesn't help that I'm an outsider to the campaign looking in! Thanks for the response Nemmerle, and looking forward to your next update! [/QUOTE]
