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

The Eye of Moirel is broken. All of them are.

Might I venture to guess that in whatever alternate timeline they have shifted to the Eyes already exist, and they can't exist in two places at once?
If I'm right, they are out there again, waiting to be found and used.

I'm probably wrong though.

By the way, long time readers will soon appreciate Sagiro's subtleties. Does anyone notice something odd about the conversation that the green eye had with Ernie while we were traveling nowhere?

"Before the head snaps off at the neck and falls to the floor, it swivels around to face Ernie, and says in a rasping voice: “Ernest, how nice to see you again.”

I thought that reminded me of something...

EDIT: And just in case anyone was wondering, it was the Green Eye that was animating that soon-to-be-decapitated head...

The Orbs are Dragonballs!

Given that I have no idea what you're talking about, that probably isn't right...

Uh, how do you think baby dragons are made?

I was referring to the very popular anime and manga Dragonball and DragonballZ, in which the main characters quest for the 7 Dragonballs. When they get them all, the are granted 1 wish, then the dragonballs disperse across the globe to await the next quester. Given that the target audience is probably 10 year old boys, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you didn't recognze it.

Some quotes from the wayback machine

May 5, 1996

The Company head into the town of Dingman’s Ferry. Murgy Thorne was digging himself a new wine cellar under his tavern, and found protruding bits of a large statue buried under his place. The hand has a gold bracelet around the wrist, which would be large enough for a person’s belt.

May 12, 1996

The digging is nearly finished. By now, it’s clear that the statue looks almost exactly like Ernie. Halfling records show that Wilburforce was once a family name in the area.

I'm guessing that Yoba does not go "back to the future".

ouch... good catch!

While I missed the Green Eye bit, it struck me a bit odd how it talks about itself (and the other Eyes). The way it's written almost makes it seem like there are more than seven of them.

Imagine a plot hook, introduced at 2nd level, resolved 9 years later
