Can't let this slip too far.

*bump*

I guess while I am bumping, I will mention how great this storyhour is. You and Piratecat's are defintely some of the finest stories on these boards. You even inspired me to start gaming again. Now that I am done lavishing praise I will return the stage to you Sagiro ...

Im sorry to say, that's the kind of thing we like to hear

KidCthulhu quote:
Oh, we are well and truly up the creek now, and no one even thought to buy a paddle.

The thought that came to my mind is that just as we ended we got to see the excrement that was heading towards the fan...and we were in it.

The funny thing (to me) is that right before the last run a bunch o folks were saying that they were scared of the upcoming run. I thought, "Gee, I'm not scared...we could still run away." Now I am scared. We did not run away.

As to our current resource situation, we do have one wildcard with us that might help...the Maze.

Hey, Sagiro, do those snakes have silver lines all over them?

Oh, I was not going to give away any spoilers...

I'm pretty much counting on the Maze. Ernie's going to cover Aravis while he uses the Maze to throw a spanner into the works of the Black Circle.

Do wish we had about a dozen Summon Monster spells, though.

So now Aravis has bizarre silver arcane-looking lines covering his flesh, eyes that contain the universe...and snakes for hair.

He-lloooooooooo....negative circumstance modifier to diplomacy. (And I thought Proty was bad...)

Actually, during the session when Morningstar windwalked to Kallor with Dranko and Aravis, the combination of stars in his eyes, fine silver lines over his flesh, and somewhat cryptic comments on his part convinced the guards at the gate that he was a visiting Archmage. Negative modifier, eh?

Also, the player behind Morningstar decided at the last session that Aravis would go over REALLY BIG at an SF Convention.

LOL! You have a point!

Love the way the story is going, can't wait for the next installment!

Sagiro’s Story Hour, Part 140b

Then the Company spends 15 minutes filling up empty spell slots

This is an interesting 3e element that I've never seen anyone take advantage of before - was this just "refilling" after Dranko & Kay lost a spell to the null shadows, or did some of them deliberately leave a few slots empty so that they could prepare some particular spells in the light of what they found?

I think the latter is quite a cool idea for priests and wizards.
