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

Yeah, yeah. Universe cannot abide our presence. Stupid universe. Doesn't send a warning letter, no "you're going to be cut off if you don't become more biddable" warning. Just right out of the gate with the not abiding.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to strap on the plate mail in the morning.

Fantastic stuff! Sounds like one big complicated battle. Do you guys use battlemats for this sort of thing?

Let's get this out of the way first...

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Now then:

Ernie casts castigate and gives the nearest cluster of bowmen a magical tongue-lashing.

“Look at what you’re doing! Serving an icky evil God, firing arrows at good people! You should be ashamed of yourselves!”

The archers cringe in pain, most of them deafened. All of them look sheepish.

Where would I find this wonderful spell? It doesn't appear to be in the PHB

Castigate is, IIRC, in Defenders of the Faith and Oriental Adventures; I don't recall if the two versions are the same or not.

I love the very idea of castigating someone and deafening them and causing them damage - as the very weight of your words hammered on them. . It is a wonderful image - which for me always makes for a great spell. . .

I've said it before and I'll say it again - this story hour is my favorite superhero storyhour! It is just a different world but they are the Avengers of that world . . .

Check out the mad comic book action!

And Step gets the giant’s morningstar, right in the chest. Whoooof! He goes reeling backward.

and

Aravis, crouching behind a tree at the edge of the clearing, and just having healed some of his wounds with a potion, is struck in the back by a searing light from inside the jungle. He wheels around and thinks he catches a glimpse of someone ducking behind a tree some fifty feet away. He can’t see very well; the only light is the ambient glow from the torches still burning out in the clearing.

Your game sounds just so god-damned fun!

Great as always and a little Cassius Clay reference is never wrong. Keep up the good work.

 

[KidCthulhu]

Castigate is indeed in DotF. When I read it, I knew I just had to have it for Ernie. Stern little lectures that actually do something!

This is the first time he's cast it. It's also a first for Obscuring Mist which I'd been carrying for years and never used. Really proved its usefulness that day though.

Cassius Clay reference? What'd I miss?

Rumble in the Jungle was the post subject, me thinks

 

[Zaruthustran]

Optimism

as they fly away, they hear the sound of the Black Circle mage shouting after them, panic in his voice:
"You don't understand! You must not be allowed to live! The universe cannot abide your presence!"

So, what did this mage expect?

Dranko: "He's right! Quick, everyone--back to the circle so we can be killed!"

Evil henchmen are silly.
