Piratecat's up-to-date story hour (updated on 8/10, come game with PCat at GenCon!)

[zoroaster100]

Great updates, Piratecat. You did a great job through your foreshadowing and storytelling in letting us, your readers, feel the potential for disaster that Caustus represented even though in effect he suffered a relatively quick demise. It's just that when dealing with such powerful characters and their powerful enemies, anything that doesn't meet a quick demise at the hands of the party would cause the quick demise of a character or three.

 

[Piratecat]

Oh, perhaps we're not done with Caustas yet. As Shilsen suggests, it seems unlikely that someone with that many resources would just up and die.

Hee hee.

You'll find out next update.

I can't remember, does the Hunter of the Dead ability keep things dead even if they were alive when they were killed?

Stupidest. Name. Ever.

How can you respect a bad guy who sounds like something you scrape off your shoe? "Oh damn, I just stepped in some Dooku!"

Hehe... it sounds even worse to others... alot of these star wars names sound ultra silly in my language (portuguese). Dooku basically sounds like "from the a-hole" to us

I think that's only for undead.
Yeah, duh, of course if the guy could cast heal and he escaped then there is plenty of reason to expect he'll raise the Imperator. He might perhaps somewhat more cautious now, which will only make him more dangerous.

I think that's only for undead.

Nope, it's for everybody -- but Malachite has to give the killing blow, and it has to be a melee blow. Neither of those were true in this case.

 

[Jackylhunter]

Oh frell...

 

[Sagiro]

Blackjack, I was under the impression that when Malachite kills something with a melee attack, it prevents the creature from rising as undead, and not that it prevents the creature from being raised or resurrected normally. Am I wrong?

Yee-ow! That was... well, Epic.

This guy didn't happen to make an appearance in a Dungeon adventure, by chance, did he?

I yoinked the cloud castle layout from Dungeon, but the people and plot are completely different. It just saved me some mapping time.
