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

[weiknarf]

Piratecat has a few surprises of his own left, and our good fortune rarely seems to last long. Just watch how fast the worm turns.

Well, you're half right.

I believe Galthia has the highest AC in the party-- high 30's.

For someone-with-no-eyes, Stone Bear tends to do a lot of watching. There's no sense trying to worm your way into the combat when the Defenders have things so readily handled.


Wulf

well well well

Wulf you are a bad, bad man. You can spoil the pants off us without us noticing.

Ok, I loved it what else can I say. I'm re-reading the pdf's to try and catch plot hooks that I might have missed. Good luck with that. I do have a question or two.

So they've known Stone Bear since Akin's place. This was before the goddess died.

-How did the worm get ahold of Stone Bear's spirit guide? Did the worm take over the spirit, or know that the magic and sun were gonna stop, and somehow send out some of it's spirit to someone it knew was going to be at the right place at the right time?

Brilliant.

Piratecat, you just made my week

It was before the Goddess landed, but wasn't it after she died?

She fell for 7 days iirc, but the magic whammy didn't happen until they were fighting in the chasm with the water magically held back around the ancient underwater city. Where the Ghouls were nearly completed assembling the giant undead transport. This is well after they met Stone Bear.

Good God, I have 1000 posts to delete from this thread. That's the good kind of carpal tunnel syndrome.

This totally blindsided the players, but it's actually been foreshadowed for some time. Elder's spirit was with Stone Bear before he left his village and strode into the Hell of his Ancestors. Heck, it was partially Elder's urging that convinced him that he must go on this spirit quest. . . and that's no coincidence.

The group doesn't know why Elder bound himself to Stone Bear. Maybe he was looking for any powerful, spirit-sensitive mortal to guide. Maybe Elder foresaw his freedom from his chains of light in an echo of the Goddess's death and the no-magic seconds that followed it. Maybe there's some other completely different reason. However you look at it the group now has two incredibly powerful creatures wanting to ascend, and it's safe to say that Elder would be a lot worse than the Ivory King.

This is one of those situations that I threw my group into with no idea whatsoever how they were going to solve it. Interesting conundrum.

Aargh. Poor, poor DoDs. But I seem to have forgotten something; why is Soder caring about Nolin?

It must be the Phoenix.

Pkitty, what are the odds that the stats for Elder will end up in the thread that shall not be named? pretty please with sugar on top?
