Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA OOC Thread (ToEE) - CALLING MY PLAYERS!

[Rhun]

[MENTION=29098]Rhun[/MENTION] : no worries about NPC posts. Will take me a bit to get up to speed.

If I can find some spare time, I'm going to put together a timeline of things that have happened. That should help keep us on track.

 

[Legildur]

So we descended into the temple of Air, but now appear to be approaching Water?

We cleared out Fire already?

I can't remember now. Rhun??

If we've already cleared water, then seems little point in progressing further down this corridor.

Maybe the ol' Paladin's Detect Evil can help here?

You've defeated the forces of Fire & Earth, though the high priest of the Earth Cult escaped you. You've been in the Air Temple, and defeated the guardians there, but you have yet to encounter any of the Air Temple's troops. Nor have you yet to encounter any of the Water Temple's troops.

There is also the forces of the "Greater Temple" which you have heard about, but not yet encountered.

Also, just a reminder that Detect Evil is limited in the Temple of Elemental Evil, as the entire structure radiates evil.

 

[Legildur]

Thanks Rhun!

 

[Rhun]

Thanks Rhun!

No problem.

It is interesting really. I just finished putting together a timeline for the OMEGA group, and I'm working through doing the one for ALPHA. You ALPHA players have inflicted WAY more damage on the Temple forces than they have, in (I think) less in-game time. I won't know for sure until I complete your timeline, but I'm pretty sure they've been at it for at least a couple more days in-game.

 

[Legildur]

The group has been fairly aggressive. And there have been some big battles with uncertain outcomes, so no real surprise that we are 'scoring' well.

And guess I'd better work out how to use the new dice roller...

No doubt about that. There have been several times you have pushed ahead, when any prudent group would have pulled back!

And guess I'd better work out how to use the new dice roller...

It is fairly simple once you start playing around with it. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

[Thanee]

We are such a destructive bunch...

But they deserved it, really!

Bye
Thanee

Well, I've got the timeline all sorted out, as posted above. I'll get it added to an INFO thread as soon as I get the rest of the information together. Currently it is about 1 or 2 AM on the morning of the holiday of Brewfest.

Also, I'm working on getting your LOOT updated, since it hadn't been updated since early 2009. Bad Rhun! Bad DM!
