Posy's weekly dose of prose...
Hello there...
I finally caught up with this story-hour and agree with the other readers: excellently done, mood-transferring story, 5 stars
Only thing that takes me wonder - as good as Posy is judging the situations (and crafty getting out again), why doesn't she use more illusions? Just pondering...

Hi! and thanks for reading! It's always good to see a new poster on Posy's diary.
The reason Posy doesn't use illusions is simple enough, I guess. She's a sorceress, and hasn't been given any illusion spells as her spells known. I hinted a little at it when talking about her great^3 grandmother Bonicka's affair with some sort of fey creature, but I don't really go out and say "Yo, da Poze is a sorceress."
Thanks for reading!
P.S. For those waiting for an installment, it will probably be later this week, since right now my library is closed for renovations and we're getting everything (36,000+ volumes, plus shelving and furniture) moved into storage so construction can begin. This last weekend was Gimil's RL wedding, and we had to take a little time for recovery, since Rattlin and Ord were in the wedding party

Posy on page 2? Nooo...
Hey again.
*bump*
As for Posy being a sorceress, yes i figured that out
BUT it doesn't answer my question. I know sorcerers have little known spells, but don't you want illusions since you want to be apart from the "usual" gnomish illusion-tricksters? Or simply have spells with "more effect" - understandable, since you are the only "mobile artillery platform" (spellcaster) of the group...
Only nosy, Posy

Just wanted to pipe in my praise. Posy is one of the best storyhour characters out there and your talent has really brought her to vivid life. Thanks for your work, Oghma.
I'll sign up for the fan club. Do I get an autographed 8x10 of Posy?

Finally caught up with that story hour too...
Can't but praise Posy. But I fear I can only repeat the others of the fanclub. That means, it's great, I love it, the characters rock, the background infos and descriptions of towns and people are great, I love to see many old adventures, nice dog, ...
Keep up the good work!
May the sun shine always on the dagger in your back!

Posy's original conception was as an Evoker, really. Her first feat was Spell focus: Evocation before I realized how useless that really was...
I mean, Magic Missile has no save, so the +2 hardly helps, there are no good 2nd level Evocation spells, and in wasn't until 6th level that she got Fireball, where I used it for the first time. At 8th, she'll take Ice Storm; again, no save
. I took a Lesser Cold Orb spell just to have an Evocation spell with a saving throw!
But enough about Evocation! I really liked the idea of a sweet little gnome girl throwing around a lot of magic power. A big bang in a small package, as it were. It also takes her out of the traditional gnomish illusionist, which I did want to avoid. It sets her as apart from her community.
This accomplished a couple of things. First, although not exactly an outcast, Posy had to develop her people skills and charm to get along in Treedimple. It also tended to push her away from her community, and that pointed her in the direction of adventuring. While she misses certain things about Treedimple, I don't think she'd give up her adventuring experience to return.
Thanks for your interest! I'll have psychognome send you your Posybadge.

First, as a writer myself I must apologize - I know how much feedback is wanted/needed. RL keeps me from posting often, but not viewing. I begun viewing the Story Hour of yours at the beginning, and I must say that is one of the best. Also, my only current character right now is a Gnome Female (Rouge2/Sorceror5) - run similarly, yet, differently then Posy.
Thank You,
Djordje
PS. Thank you a lot for the Stat blocks in the RG
