Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA OOC Thread (ToEE) - CLOSED!!!

[Lord_Raven88]

I never played the computer game, so I don't know how accurate they portrayed it. FWIW, there are several sections I am probably going to have to modify, or you guys will be wandering around the dungeons for years!

I've got both the original and the new adventures as well as the computer game.

For the tiny amount of the temple that I've been thru on the computer, I found that it was very accurate. So much so that I could look ahead to see where the nasty monsters were.

Of course there were some changes particularly around Homlett, but that's to be expected.

 

[Rhun]

Actually, the Temple and its Dungeons really don't have to be changed all that much...but the "nodes" certainly do. I'm still figuring what to do when you guys make it that far.

Also, LR, I'm sorry I haven't re-introduced you to the party yet. But soon, I promise!

I played the computer game, I can't remember much.

The main thing I remember about the computer game is that there's the opportunity to have a Hill Giant as your cohort, but the town ostracizes you and you can't go there if he's a part of your group. Don't know if that's part of the original or not.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Yeah, I remember the hill giant. He joined me as a cohort.
As for Hommlet, I don't recall any trouble because there were no citizens left in Hommlet. That what happens when you play a group with a Necromancer, Half Orc barbarian, Priest of Nerull and Warpriest of Hextor.

Rhun, as for Jebediah's introduction, what do you think about this scenario I used in a previous Ravenloft table-top campaign.
"Help … Please Help me" says the impaled human.

Isn't that just what clerics are for? *Rip* *squelch* *tap* "There you are, good as new."

Excellent my plan to make Rhun feel guilty worked perfectly.

But seriously it's no big deal, I'm a patient man. Also I disappeared for a while so I can hardly complain.

Heh. Last time something like that happened in my group, the impaled person got killed, the player had to make a new character, and we continued on.

It all depends on what they know about Jebediah. If he was captured as part of a general raid, then I guess he'd be stored with the other normal prisoners. If on the other hand they csaptured his specifically *gulp* then he might be being tortured.

I'm personally hoping that he's with the other normal prisoners then he could always use his suggestion/charming abilities to get away. Of course if that's the situation he'd be happy to hang around and learn as much inside information as possible.

Actually what would be real fun is if Jeb some how 'converted' to serving the temple, then instead of finding him in a cell you could come across him elsewhere, perhaps after he's helped capture the group.

He is LN after all, so he'd be willing to do whatever is 'necessary' to achieve his ultimate goal.

Hm, I personally wouldn't think of betraying your friends to an evil cult as lawful neutral. :\

Not that I'm saying that he would. But if he felt that the only way to succeed in destroying the temple was for some 'innocents' to die then he would. As his decision wouldn't be swayed by sentimentality. I.E Morality.

Personally I can't why this would ever be necessary, so please take my previous remarks with the flippancy that they are due.

Also I was really just referring to how 'some' movies like to put the so called 'untrustworthy' members of a group in the situation when they 'seemed' to have betrayed their friends, only to reveal that it was all part of a mastermind scheme to lull the BBEG into a false sense of security, so that they can in turn betray and destroy the BBEG in the end. *shock horror*

Mental note! Don't mention the betrayal of your team while they are stillsearching to rescue you.
