[QUOTE="Sagiro, post: 2468136, member: 726"] To Plane Sailing and LightPhoenix: it warms my heart to know I've managed to convey, at least to someone, the lump-in-throat, heart-pounding feeling I had at the table as Step was taking his step through the Black Door. I know I'm not supposed to grow attached to my NPC's, but that was an emotional run for me -- both for Step's plot arc, and for the fact that I was about to enact one of the most complex single scenes (in terms of number of actors) that I had ever tried to pull off. (The Battle of Verdshane was bigger, though I don't know if it counts as "a single scene.") I've just finished transcribing from tape what happened on the other side of the Black Door. I'm probably not spoiling it to say that it involved some combat. Because of the huge number of participants, and the length of the whole scene, I don't think it will work for me to provide the usual round-by-round narrative of who did what. I'll have to think about the best way to present it all, and that may take me a while longer. No promises, but I'm guessing I'll start resolving this cliffhanger with a post in the next few days. A whole bunch of cool stuff happened beyond the Black Door, both in terms of cool PC tactics, and horrific enemy abilities. (Morningstar's player called me "a sick, sick bastard." I have it on tape!) It was hugely fun for me to relive it. I hope I can convey that. Hm. -Sagiro [/QUOTE]
