Remnants of the Horde:Back to Myrach...

[Uriel]

OK, Kurg (Orochi) will be returning. He has had problems logging on for quite some time and Hurricane Isabel didn't help.

SO, I will continue to play Kurg until he gets here.

That isn't a problem, so I can add 2 new players anyways.

Let's go with the above and say two 'New' characters, Midnight Fang I will continue to run.

As to the 'Anti-Paladin', I don't have that dragon at this time and so I can't make a call as to if I even want another Core class. I always found the Anti-Paladin a silly PC concept, as a REAL 'Anti-Paladin' would be the opposite of a Paladin....craven, cowardly and a back0stabbing git, not some Nazgul-Wannabee in black plate with glowing red eyes.

I have no problem with Paladins of different alignments, however, as my recent (from 1987 on until 3rd Ed stole me away) gaming had been with Rolemaster, where they have no alignment restrictions.]


Guys make characters or hold off and give it some thought, as I want to get these PCs through a bit more before there would be a spot to legitamately drop in new blood.

It is your game Uriel and I wouldn't want to disrupt things.
I'll make up a Black Guard then. If that's alright?

That's fine, but what I am saying is that you can be a 'Paladin' of a different alignment anyways, then a Blackguard if you like.

I am not sure what the 'Anti-Paladin' from Dragon is (not since the 20 year old version anyways), and i would want to have a look at it first.
if ferretguy wants to scan it and send me a copy, that's fine as well.

The Corruptor in the magazine (The NE char type) was rather cool sounding. But I think I will just play a normal Paladin-come Blackguard. Keep it simple and leave the roleplaying to be the complex part. (Plus it will make less work for Ferretguy, which I am sure he will appreciate. *grin*)

Will get the details up here pronto!

 

[Uriel]

Mithreander, Goblin Rogue sounds fine.
deadasdai, Paladin/Blackguard is fine as well.

 

[Velenne]

Yay, more gobbies for the ogres to pick on!!!

I hate you ENWorld...thanks for eating my post.

In short (and repeat, since it ate my other post...GRRR)

You folks are about dead.
Those of you with healing potions are advised to use them.
Kurg is out of healing spells *except for the one that he saves for himself).
Forlash has what may be healing potions, it wont kill you to give him a moment to verify this, and neither will the Hag's forces.
After all, a merciful DM would include such things, and would be justified in doing so, since the hag wants her trolls in tip-top form (since they would need healing against acid, fire and the like).

I understand the ogre mentality of kicking in every door (and it amuses me as well), however a Leader, which is what Durgo is at this point, knows to use every option and resource availabe to him, Captain Varn certainly did...

In short, heal up or you are all going to die in short order, that is an unfortunate certainty.
