Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

Death Pool:

Well, unless it was for PERMANENT deaths, looks like Dakkareth is the winner, without even the need for a tie-breaker!

Here's hoping Nolin is reborn in the ashes! ;-)

I think I remember Nolin had already declared he didn't WANT to be brought back when he died...

Correct. In death Nolin and Rides the Sun are separate but both free, and they're soaring the heavens in a very just reward. Nolin had made his feelings quite clear; he'd died and been brought back once, when he was first bonded to Rides the Sun, and he didn't want it to happen again.

We finished one game just as the group was transported to the top of the hill, into the light. The whole fight (including the bits still to come) took the next two game sessions. We're close to the point where the first of those two sessions ended.

Wow. That's just....wow.

Well, I think that was worth the wait.

Soder's due back any moment, and he missed the best part.

This was so poignant it brought a tear to my eye.

Cheers

Thanks, Alex. I didn't want to be all "NOOOO, Blackleaf!!" about the event, but I must admit it affected me more than I thought it would.

And yes, it is Toad the Wet Sprocket. Nolin's epitaph, if he ends up needing one, would be "Stories I tell" also from that same album. It came out about the time I begain playing Nol, and it's always had a lot to say to me about him.

Fot those of you taking notes at home...

Toad and the Wet Sprocket is the band
Fear is the album
Pray Your Gods is the song...# 6

Excellent album...a hauntingly beautiful work

I just went back and read the DoD vs. pirates battle (the first, on the ship).

It is interesting to read again after reading this latest fight. Although they were probably in the teen levels for that fight, it seems almost mundane compared to this battle against the ghoul king and the ghoul army. I mean, those were just pirates on a ship; now the enemies are near-gods, and the battleground is surrounded by divine events.

Hey, if you're NOT in my game and want more detail on the Ivory King, head here. You'll also find a request for some evil plotting!

Thanks to my players for staying out. There are some things that man just isn't meant to see.

I . .uh . . .have been working on . .transparent cubes and, uh . . .phoenixes lately.



Please excuse the recycling, and the speed of the paste up.

I tried doing one of these months ago, but it didn't really work. So this winds up being a bit of a rush job.

Sialia, that picture is luminous. The color is beautiful.

Incidentally, the Ivory King had some fire resistance, but it hardly matters. All of Nolin's firestorm damage also counted as holy damage. Anyone want to guess how the Ivory King deals with holy damage?

Not well, my friends. Not well at all.
