"Out of the Frying Pan"- Book IV - Into the Fire [STORY HOUR COMPLETED - 12/25/06]

[el-remmen]

After nearly one month of almost no internet contact I'm back (woot).

I was wondering where you went to. . . Good to have you back!

Well, El-Remmen your stuff is as great and dramatic as always, if not more so. Cudo's to the game. I didn't expect the uber-succubus to appear that early, but it certainly is an impressive appearance apropiate for such a fiend.

Glad you liked it - I wasn't expecting her to show up so early either - but that is what happens when a Mirror of Life-Trapping is smashes. . . all sorts of unexpected surprises.

So, Ratchis more or less snapped after all? I guess it was only a matter of time, he was under constant presure since he joined the group, more than anyone.

I don't know if he "snapped", he just withdraws to that kind of thing when faced with heavy emotional and/or mystical experiences. If you remember, he did similar things while doing self-training for spells when the party wintered in Garvan. And there was at least one other time he behaved similarly, but it is escaping me right now. . .

So at this point, I'm torn between wanting more posts (b/c I'm interested in the story) and NOT wanting more posts (b/c I don't want the story hour to end).

Keep up the good work.

 

[el-remmen]

See, now that's just plain insulting.

If you'd been paying attention, I play the guy and I don't know what he's going to do from one moment to the next. Hello! Mercurial!

You see, I know what's gonna happen when he hears the bell ring, we can just never be sure what he interprets as a bell ringing. . .

 

[el-remmen]

Anyway, I'm just joshing ya. You know I love the unpredictable edge that Roland brought to the group. It was a nice contrast to the uber-focuses, uber-conservative outlooks of Ratchis, Kazrack and Martin.

I must say that I am quite excited to see what happens as this progresses. The maze seems to be quite an adventure with moving rooms and such. I can only hope that the party doesn't get split up if the rooms move while they are waiting their turns to go through a portal.

The way that you described the demoness was amazing. I could picture her quite vividly which, while not all that appetizing, was a nice touch.

I think my fav thing about this latest set is the demoness. She brings another wrinkle to the setting as the modrons, Gilbart, Lady Aureliana, and of course the group all have their specific goals yet Everyone has had to adjust to that nasty demoness!
Worst of all, she's still out there... now how do they get their gear without becoming enemies of the modrons ... or worse yet, be labled as bad guests

 

[el-remmen]

Hey all, I wanted to drop a note to let you know about:

A Long Hard Rain - The Life of Autumn of Fallon

A posting of a character background I wrote about 8 years ago for an Aquerra campaign my friend Sean ran.

I thought you loyal readers () would be interested in reading about some other places in Aquerra.

 

[el-remmen]

Oh, and I'm working on the next installment for this thing, and I hope to put something up tomorrow night - if not, then definitely over the weekend some time.

Aww man I deliberately took a hiatus from reading your story hour so I cold come back to it with lots of updates to enjoy, with the benefit continuity gives you to really get into the events (I have the memory of a goldfish ya'see).
And now I'm all caught up... and caught in the previous dilemma of 'read each update as it comes' or 'forcibly absent myself' once again

Shame you can't devote yourself full-time to your SH El-Remmen
