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

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Apropos of nothing, my Word document storing the story is now 515 pages long. My goodness, people, I can't believe you're reading all this. Thank you for that.

Of course we're reading it. Its a GOOD READ! But I am surprised...I had actually thought it was longer than 515 pages. I know that my SH is about 267 pages at 10 font. I expected you to be up there even higher.

It should get longer faster now that PC is honor-bound to actually POST to his story hour.

Just out of curiosity, KidC, did the fixation on Malachite begin as a way to keep the PC alive by getting on the good side of the most inflexible paladin 'round these parts?

In defense of, well, myself, I should note that Malachite is maximally inflexible when it comes to issues of undead; on other issues he can be rather a casuist. But I admit that doesn't come out much when you are, well, fighting undead.

Also, if you want to get on Malachite's good side, "having a taint of undead" is not exactly the most direct path. Malachite took very poorly to the woman and was more than happy to leave Velendo looking after her; he was concerned that he'd have to kill her, and wasn't looking forward to such a prospect. But, as noted, them's his vows. On which he's pretty inflexible.

>grin< Ah, the joy of suspicious PCs. I love the bit where everyone analyzes her with their own particular divination spell.

"Detect Evil?"
"Check."
"Detect Undead?"
"Check."
"Spirit Sight?"
"Check."
"Arcane Sight?"
"Check."
"Anyone got anything else?"
"I've got Detect Poison."
>long pause<
"Well, you know. Better safe, and all..."

Can you believe those bastards didn't take the painting home with them? They burned it instead. Man, talk about a masterwork collector's item gone to waste. . . months in front of the canvas, working undead fingers to the bone in order to get all the details right. Wasted.

Sniff.

No gratitude in today's adventurers, that's what it is. Hmmph.

Oh, do I wish I had even a sniff of artistic talent. I would be sure to make this painting live forever in a certain art thread and earn another update for it. Any artists out there up for the challenge?

A few notes on KidCthulhu's new character:

- she is, in fact, quite an impressive mentalist.
- she is not, in fact, entirely human.
- the part which is not entirely human is a bad, bad thing.

She looks surprised. “I don’t have one. On days when he’s in a good mood, he sometimes calls me his precious treasure.” Everyone exchanges a look.

So, Soder's nameless "daughter" is also his phylactery?

Very clever, if the Defenders kill her, he simply makes another one. On the other hand, if they accept her, he has a group of extremely powerful people protecting his phylactery and those same people, who were probably his greatest foes, are now rendered virtually powerless to destroy him.

Ok now that would just be plain wrong and no DM in his right mind woud ever do that to a group of Hero's.


Crap!

The DoD are so screwed.

No. The fixation on Malachite began as a way to get right up Blackjack's nose. Because he's so much fun to play with and against, I wanted a character with a strong interaction with Malachite.

Plus he's so dreamy! All the LN multiclass psionicist women go wild for him.

 

[KidCthulhu]

Allow me to point out that I created her & wrote her background. While she has plenty of secrets I don't know about, if Pkitty pulls that trick, he's sleeping in the garage for the rest of his life!

Heheheh. You've got to admit, though, it would be geniously evil. I think I'm yoinking it either way.
