Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

Nice fight :)

I'm half asleep, but you meant to say "no" instead of "now" in "“Spells are now good against them. I, on the other hand, will be effective. Wield me!”" right?

Sagiro has an almost uncanny ability to balance combats such that we spend 2-4 rounds going "oh, crap, we're gonna die" and then something lucky or skillful or both turns the tide, and we end up panting and bleeding, but alive. Dunno how he does it, but it makes our victories feel more victorious.

Good Fleshy post. Not everything can be combat.

GW

Fights are OK, but I think I actually enjoy the RP in the story hour even more.

The again, it's always good to see some demons get their comeuppance. :)

I had a GM like that in Torg, once. Also, I kept reading the conversation between Dranko and his grappler, and wondering if somebody was going to sneak in a "Dranko is dead." Guess not. :D
 

I dropped to single digit hit points before Ernie got that heal in. . . and I still finished the fight with less than 20 hit points. This, considering that Dranko has far and away the most health of anyone in the party, over 130 at that point. That SOB picked me up and wouldn't let me go, and there was nothing I could do about it. Very scary.
 

Hooray!

Man, that battled turned quickly. . . When the party formerly known as the Fearless Manticore Killers fought some powerful half-demon gnomes the combat took 40 rounds!

Yeah, Improved Grab is a killer, esp. with creatures that have grapple checks in the +30 range. Though personally I like glabrezu that start with a confusion spell. Nothing's more fun than getting PCs to beat up on each other.

And is it just me or did anyone else feel bad that there's now one less glabrezu with a mean sense of humor out there?
 


The demon told Dranko to look at the woman he loved, and what does he do? He keeps fighting. He's gonna be sleeping in the doghouse for that when he gets back to his home dimension, that's for sure.

*grin*

So, Sagiro, what are you up to aside from entertaining us with your storyhour?
