Retro Story Hour: (Contact's) Temple of Elemental Evil 2!

[Wulf Ratbane]

Dare I say it?

I think the DM went easy on the heroes on this one.

No pack of slavering ghouls is passing up fresh paralyzed meat for one fleeing sorcerer.

TWO birds in the hand, my friend...

I'm sure it was just an oversight by the DM. Take it easy on the players? Perish the thought!

Well, you know what a softie he is.

Talk about a blast from the past... Ahh, this story is fun to read again. I miss the commentary, though.

Aelniir is last!

See, the DM was a rat bastard, no doubt. But look at his meta-plot against the characters who started the adventure, and you'll see how much worse we could have had it.

Aelniir was a Shieldlander, and aspired to become a Knight of the Holy Shielding. He would have been caught up in Sir Willam of Willip's nationalistic rabble-rousing in the refugee camps of Knulb. I just know that whole meta-plot was geared to have Aelniir out in front of the rag-tag army that got crushed at the walls of Verbobonc . . .

“Whatever you may think you have gained, you will lose. Wherever you think you are powerful, we will bring you low. So swears Heydricus, and so swear the Heroes of the Temple”.

<sniffle, sniffle> That's the most beautiful quote I think I've ever heard.

Ah, the best part about vacation (okay, maybe not the BEST part), is coming home and finding lots of great updates from my favorite stories to read during "work".

Now, I can't help but notice that it's Tuesday, and no update...
