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

[Solarious]

Someone has been having a lot of fun with the Monster Manuals. I believe the Chain-thing (A Ragewalker) and the 'tigerman' (A variant Rakshasha... the Shadowdancer version, I think?) are both possessed of the 3'rd generation.

All the spellcasters hates the Null Shadows more than the Blade Barriers. That's just hilarious. But I share the sentiment that the falling goats were the perfect touch!

woot update!

*Does a happy dance*

Yeah, more story hour!

And I'd give a lot to have a photo of PC's face when you asked for the Reflex Save to avoid a falling goat... of all the phrases a player DOESN'T expect to hear!

I hope one of the PCs invests in Microsoft while he's in the past.

Ernie and Aravis were evil for a time. Does that count?

 

[blargney the second]

That was brilliant! I now understand what you said earlier about this being a particularly difficult session to transcribe. Wow.

Speaking of which... did the murder of helpless, KO'd Guztha seem like Good Ernie to you? Or did the proximity to the shadows bring back Bad Ernie?

Gotta say, I love the 3rd Monster Manual. There's all kinds of interesting stuff in there!

And quite the session. I have kind of a love-hate feeling towards those, they're tons of fun, but a pain to run. Sagiro, sounds like you did an excellent job keeping the illusions in play through the whole thing. How many times have DM's forgotten little things like this in all the chaos?

Let's see... evil minion of the Emperor escapes one encounter, sets up second encounter which threatens to kill them all, and one of the PCs decides it's too much trouble keeping him alive to set up a second ambush (involving more Null Shadows, probably)?

I'd give Ernie the benefit of the doubt and whistle innocently.

Ne, he's a fiend, even I have no compunctions about this one.

You know, it never occured to me. We knew he could come out of the hold at any time, and he had abilities to move and escape and summnon badness that might or might not be mentally triggered, so at the time it felt very much like we were in combat with him. No feeling that he was helpless.
