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

That's a very very neat fight.

I really would have liked to see the immovable rod trick in action.

 

[Mishihari Lord]

Shivertooth breathes a mighty cone of lightning that travels about twenty feet before impacting the wall of force.

What the...? Oh, crap!

Shivertooth tries to veer to the side but there’s not enough room. CRUNCH! The side of his snout and the base of one wing are crushed against the wall by his own momentum, as Shivertooth comes to a complete halt. With a squeaky finger-on-clean-glass kind of sound, he slides down the wall and lands in a heap on the ground.

Dranko snorts. “You’re an embarrassment to dragons everywhere.”

Best insult ever!

So. At the end of Part 1, when they got zapped into the alternate universe:

As far as the evil 'verse is concerned, no one knew anything about them.

And for the 'original' 'verse... it doesn't exist. Right now.

Enlighten me, please.

I'm not entirely sure I understand, but I'll try to sum up:

1. The Sharshun changed the universe by sending thr assassin Inivane back in time to warn the Emperor about the Spire. Doing so ensured that the world we grew up in never occurred.

2. The Company journeyed into Het Brannoi in order to find a third Eye of Moirel, in the hopes of fixing the universe. We actually found two. In the process, Aravis and Ernie got temporarily turned evil by spectacularly noxious and evil black fluid. We only managed to cure them with a wish.

3. Using the Mirrors of Semek, we went back in time - and arrived simultaneously with Inivane. We killed him, and so he never warned the emperor. Presumably this has saved our future, so long as we're careful.

4. The emperor and his minions "smelled" the evil black fluid that had permeated Aravis and Ernie; this seems to be a method he had used to create powerful minions of his own. He sent an assassin named Guztha to bring them back, not knowing that they weren't from this time.

5. Guztha escaped like a big evil deadly shadowdancing chicken - but we killed his dragon!

Clear?

According to this update, the assassin's still alive. You managed to unconfuse then confuse me again! DARN YOU!!

I see. That's what I didn't catch on to in reading the last update - how he sensed their presence.

But - you didn't kill the assassin - Guztha. He got away. Didn't he?

 

[Sagiro]

Piratecat has pretty much got it, but he accidentally sowed some confusion with his point #5 (since corrected... thanks PC!)

Brogarn, I think you're confused because PCat refers to two DIFFERENT assassins from two different time periods. Consider for a moment that the "normal" campaign year the players are in is, say, 1800. They traveled back to year 10.

- Inivane was an assassin by trade, who was alive in 1800. He traveled back in time to year 10 to warn the Emperor and was ultimately prevented from doing so by the Company.

- Guztha is an assassin-ish servant of Emperor Naloric who naturally lived back in year 10. When the Company arrived in year 10, the Emperor sent Guztha to find the "Blood-touched" and bring them back.

Is that clearer?

Is that clearer?

Clearly you need to have fewer people in the game trying to kill us. It's confusing your beloved audience.

Not to mention your beloved players.
