Rappan Athuk: Ravage of The Unusual Heroes!

[Horacio]

Great update, Ziona!

So Drexel suck too much magic and spent too much Spellfire...
Metagaming, the player should know what the result was going to be, why did he do it? He runs also another PC?

 

[madriel]

Geez, that must've been tough trying to keep track of everybody.

Another cool update, Ziona!

Meta game:

I'm the Drexel player. When Drexel got plane shifted I made Gideon. When Gideon got death-rayed I made Avangel.

So Drexel's Spellfire use was just flavor to get us in and his collapse gives the reason why he didn't enter with the group (allowing me to play the avenging angel of Lathander)

That anwser a lot of my questions...

Metagame question though: what's up with leaving Drexel and Solstar to the orcs? Is it that their players weren't in attendance or were playing other characters?

Solstar was actually my character when Avangel ran my campaign for a short while. Other than that, most of the people caught outside were extra PCs and NPCs that had been in the party's history. Some of them were there in case extra people showed for the event (we had 4 no shows, but probably couldn't have fit them in the room anyway). I also wanted to have some extra characters that people could play in case they were killed quickly.

I've noticed that your party splits themselves up with distressing regularity, Inmir and Lox most recently. Is this how you guys really operate, or is it more metagaming "x the player isn't here so how do we explain his PC missing?" type stuff?

No this is just Lox deciding that he needs to find more treasure while the party is preoccupied. Inmir also likes to break magic items before the others can find them as well. Good thing he doesn't have detect magic!

Also, is the mob scene outside the source for that infamous "Man Down!" pic?

That's what happens when the heroes get inside. (Insert evil laugh here!)

Finally, any chance of a Rogues Gallery type listing of the PC's and their equipment? I saw Avangel's sheet recently, but the rest?

This is in the works, and I will talk to the players during tonight's session.

Geez, that must've been tough trying to keep track of everybody.

Madriel, keeping track of people was very difficult, but for this game session where we had 4 guests and that meant a whole new setup and we kept track of initiative for everyone on a white board.

Thanks guys, this does clear up a LOT. I was getting lost in all the PC changes.

So you play tonight? Can't wait to hear what happens!

 

[PaynAndispare]

Taren ... your not the first to request a character sheet type layout. I will be bringing my sheet home with me this evening after our session so that I can start to put something together for the Rogue Gallery.

I can only imagine the confusion some of you have with the character changes and all.

I was Venus ... upon his death came the intro of my new character Gnettles. Some are still standing tough on their first character ... but of those some were wisped away to other planes ... stone to flesh ... captured ... etc.

The way our DM has brought together lots of these PC's to the battle seemed to work out pretty well. But, you as the reader will have to find that out when Ziona hits that update.

Who decided to give Lox a Rod of Wonder anyway?! Grrr...

 

[denmstrsn]

I did, but it was because he was so close to Nuttin. Most of the time it is a good thing that he has it.?.?

 

[Hammerhead]

I can barely wait for the climatic battle. It's going to be great!
