Rel's Faded Glory III: Glory Reborn (FINAL UPDATE 6/22 - SHE'S DONE, BABY!!)

[Rel]

Wow! Viscious battle with the trolls! They seemed really tough for them to last so long against higher mid-level adventurers...

love the history, mystery of the delver and the god's blood.

Howdy, Broc.

The magical Breastplate worn by the one Troll helped out a lot on his AC (he had a 24, I think). Add to that the fact that they were only facing Speaks and Scipio for most of the battle and they were really tough. Once the rest of the characters got there, they downed them pretty quickly.

Remember kids, splitting the party is BAD.

Much more history, mystery and blood to come.

Wow, trolls lost 2 points natural armour in 3.5... nice. +3 breastplate? Woah

Too bad we're playing 3.0 or that would have been a bitchin' piece of treasure.

 

[BSF]

Nice update Rel! Looking forward to the next update.

+3 Breastplate?

Rel,

What am I going to do with you? Clearly I can't let my players see this thread...the only thing they have ever gotten that gave more than +1 to anything was a magical frying pan that granted +10 to cooking checks.

What is wrong with you, Man?

Old One walks away, leaning heavily on his cane and muttering, then stops...a sly grin spreading across his face

Ahh...I see the brilliance of your evil plan...you will lull them into a false sense of security, shower them with gifts, allow them to drive their enemies before them...then you will crush their hope and make them beg for mercy! Much better!

No, no, no. Darklone has succeeded in muddying the waters with his 3.0 vs. 3.5 Troll reference. The breastplate is merely +1 (as the party is going to find out in the near future) thus giving a total armor bonus of 6. Added to the normal AC of a 3.0 Troll gives an AC of 24.

This is not to say that I never give out juicy treasure. Why just recently I said to the players, "Players, I've decided to start screwing you with even more vastly superior opponents (in terms of both quality and quantity) than is usual. Therefore I shall grant you a few rather choice magical items in order to give you brief hopes of success before dashing these against the unstoppable force of all-powerful foes I intend to inflict upon you. M-kay?" Then they stabbed me with Cheetos.

Does that make things more clear?

Nice update Rel! Looking forward to the next update.

Thank you sir, and hopefully you shall not have to wait long. I'm going to do my best to write another one over the weekend.

juicy treasure?

Marius has more cool toys than any other character I can remember playing and yet he's been **censors bleep out future story spoilers**...and otherwise totally hosed for circumstances and bad rolling.

This was the entirety of the latest session for Marius:
Roll 2 skill checks...yadda yadda

"Make an Initiative roll" 4?! so that's 11 *sighs and sees Rel roll a 9*

"Make a Fortitude save" *rolls a 5 and then rolls eyes so hard they bounce off his tonsils*

"sh--"

That was it for him. Really. hehe
I bought a new d20 die last night.
