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

Okay, I feel suddenly confused.

Who is Flicker?

The halfling that isn't Ernie.

Rogue. Was imprisoned in a big saphire once, has guilt issues about causing the deaths of former party members via trap, his folks own an inn, etc.

So that's what epic Climb can do!

Sorry, I just liked that description a lot more than anything in the ELH. It should definitely be in the next edition.

Sagiro (and Piratecat, and Sepulchrave) should at least be hired as consultants/co-writers for any new Book of Epic-ocity WotC might want to do.

I have to say, the thing that impressed me most about the last update was the ooze. I normally don't use oozes and other gunk monsters, primarily because they've never seemed frightening above and beyond their stats and place in DnD history. After reading the encounter above, I may have to revise my opinion.

This struck me last night for some reason: Do you, Sagiro (or any of your players) recall at which point in the campaign you guys were at when the story hour began to be written?

That is, how long was it until the story hour "caught up" to where you had been in game when you starting posting these?

Dag, I know what I am asking and my question still seems unclear to me!

I'm not Sagiro, but I can have a go at answering your questions...

The earliest Story Hour posts, now long since vanished, appeared some time in January 2001. At that point in the campaign, the Company had just been drawn into the Crosser's Maze - around session 106 or so (in chapter 5 of the compiled SH).

Some time in the third quarter of 2001, the Story Hour posts had completely caught up with the campaign -- certainly by session 121 (the aftermath of the battle with Restimar) at the beginning of October, the players and audience alike were avidly discussing what would happen next...

So it probably took six or seven months for Sagiro's posts to get to the Crosser's Maze adventure. Hope that helps...

And at this point, the story is trailing about a year or so behind. It's gotten terrible, with Sagiro trying to have a family and a life and do his job. His priorities are so outta wack.

Rogue. Was imprisoned in a big saphire once, has guilt issues about causing the deaths of former party members via trap, his folks own an inn, etc.

He's also the only remaining member of the party that's a permanent NPC, with One Certain Step having played his role out. Maybe that's what was confusing RangerWickett.

Snokas is a cohort, right? Of Morningstar?

Yep, half orc bodyguard. Swings a mean pick. Makes a good .. paletable .. makes black lizard pie.

“Why didn’t I make you float-y armor?” grumbles Dranko.

“Because you were too busy making fart-y armor,” says Ernie with a smile. (Which is true. Ernie’s armor, you may recall, makes a flatulent sound when the pinky of the left gauntlet is pulled.)

Makes me wonder what sort of presents show up under the Christmas tree in the Piratecat household...
