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

[RangerWickett]

Aha! The cheese! The beautiful, glorious cheese, complete with pun!

“I can’t help but think I’m forgetting something important,” worries Velendo. He looks at Eve, ut the girl just shakes her head.

“The dragon’s dead,” says Malachite...

...

“Like when you had a giant soul-devouring worm inside of you,” Galthia says with a neutral face. Stone Bear turns his empty eye sockets towards the monk, but Galthia is making a show of studying some nearby piece of architecture.

“Actually, Elder has left me now,” confides Stone Bear. “I feel horribly empty. I bear his scars.”

“Can you find a new spirit?” asks Mara in concern.

“It’ll just take time.”

“Well, let us know if we can help..."

I was wondering, about that sword... Surprised they forgot that...

The dragon died, again? Did I miss this, or did the DoD just kill it?

Stone Bear is going to get a new spirit, and the DoD are going to help him!?!! Don't they ever learn?!!

 

[the Jester]

Awesome!!!


And at last the story arc is complete... wow, I just finished one in my early years SH, I do believe it was the best feeling I'd had in a long time- the sense of closure. I bet PC and his players feel the same, reading that written up at last. Good times.

Note that these two updates were brought to you by Plane Sailing's portrait of Mara riding an elder brain, Sialia's portrait of what's-his-name, and the letter ñ.

The dragon died, again? Did I miss this, or did the DoD just kill it?

They just killed it. We handwaved it in game, too; it was obeying them, so they could say "don't move" and hack it apart.

I was also surprised that they forgot about Halcyon's arm and sword. Clearly, it's a quest object for some other poor group of adventurers in the future.

Thank you, PCat. Thank you, Defs past and present. That was good.

You really don't need yet another reader coming on here telling you how good your storyhour is ... but I'll do it anyway. It is GOOD .

To be honest, when I first looked at it, the first few posts about the DoD's initial adventures in Eversink, didn't really grab me that much, and it nearly went on the "I don't know what people see in it" pile ! I'm glad I didn't give up though, cos the enjoyment I've gained from it has become immense. It really is one of the best on the boards.

“I can’t help but think I’m forgetting something important,” worries Velendo.

...

Behind them in the ruins of Imbindarla’s temple, no one is left to hear the steady drip of blood as it drips slowly. . . so slowly. . . from the tip of a sword, still grasped by Halcyon’s spiked and severed arm.

You know, it's sad when age catches up with you, but it happens to us all. Next thing you know, Velendo will be standing in the middle of the Temple of Calphas thinkg, "Now what did I come in here for ...?"

So now, Stone Bear has a mindcontrolled poisonous moneky dressed and looking like Nolin when they go back to the city? Hmmm, I wonder what the citymaidens will say..

Also.. cutting the the cheese.. My guess is that is a Chaotic Gouda Cheese of Endless Puns.

*runs*

Pity the Defenders' stay in Nacreous had to be so Brie-f. Aside from the freaky artwork (which they were understandably not too fond(ue) of), I imagine there was quite a lot of loot left behind. So paneer, and yet so far...

And it's hardly surprising to be finding magic cheeses down there, after all. Given Soder's penchant for creating ghoulish art, he must have put a lot of points into his Kraft skills!

*rimshot*

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the veal!

“No thank you, to the air OR boat.” Priggle puts down a magical cloak that makes the wearer look like a peasant[/i]

Which arguably would have made him more noticeable, undoubtedly the opposite effect to that intended by its creator

The ammount of cheesy jokes in this thread make my blood curdle. Personally, I'm gettin' feta up with this. We need to prove that cheese puns are overused. And if we can't prove it together, I'll just have to prove-alone.

That's it, I'm retiring to my cottage... - in the Alps - it's Swiss.....

Runs away before the rotten fruit en vegetables can be hurled in his general direction.
