Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

[FreeXenon]

Thanks for the update, Shemmy!
Wow, I feel so much better now.

 

[Shemeska]

A few questions though. Will the merc. that the Ebon touched be in this arc?

Which one was that? Remind me if you would who that was/when that was.

What is important enough for the Wanderer to pause in his hunt for whatever he was looking for?

Something that openly gnaws at the confidence of the Demented. I already hinted at it in an earlier scene where the Shepherdess and the Architect were discussing things at the base of one of the Loadstones of Misery. And there might be a hint in the story for the Blind Clockmaker (which itself chronicles an event that happens later on in the SH).

It's also connected to what the Chronicler is obsessed with, which was there right from the first post of the SH. "It is happening again. Just like I told them it would."

How this connects with the Oinoloth, if it does, we'll find out I suppose as this continues.

What happened to the fairy dragon?

Amberblue is still there, but with the PCs potentially going to Pandemonium, and them already iffy about having (effectively) a little kid with innate wish spells running around (with Nisha sometimes), they'll be finding something to do with him.

And did the player's really express an interest in vacation, or was that just narrative licence? *Deep Breath*

It was their term, not mine.

This was one of my personal favorite plot arcs of the campaign.

After defeating and kidnapping a greater loth - we sorta... you know - figured it would Be a vacation comparatively...

The mortal in the Vale of Frozen Ashes, from the update before this one. But I was wrong, it didn't say that is was the Ebon, that was just a guess on my part. Merc. was short for mercenary, which I assumed he was.

Thanks for the answers, both of you!

WHooHoo... The prodding seems to have helped i guess... lol...

Voice neither male nor female, singing hymns of demons dancing and devils prancing,
of rilmani glancing and angels in shock...

...Giggle...

You'll find out if that mortal shows up. *grin*

And no, I didn't give any specifics on who was talking to him either.

Vaction = PC code for getting out of town while the next round of assassins try to kill us so they don't break our nice things or injury our good help. (Trick is to keep a protective ring of people trying to kill you around at all times to block sneak attacks by unexpected foes).

The waste the wish on something harmless today so we don't get mazed game gets just a whee bit old.

Mmmm faerie dragons, *fun*. Wyrmling faerie dragons + Chaositects + half-fey... More Fun!

But we got a very nice set of glowing lights, moving sails and a flickering neon sign out of it... and a *lot* of apple pies ("Free! Apple pie with every meal! We don't care if you don't like apple - Take It!")

Well, I have my own theories on this matter, and the possible connection to Dr. Hubris, but I'll not speak out without a bit more circumstantial evidence. Best to "wait for the signs to manifest" as it were

I'm rather curious what your theories on the matter are. If you have a chance at some point, send me a PM or an email or an inscribed petitioner or something.

Of course, not all of the players are necessarily on the board at this point, so to speak. We haven't heard much from the celestials yet, the Rilmani obviously know something enough to be concerned, the Oinoloth's past is still a blank slate (at this point in the story), and not all of the baernaloths were or are members of The Demented (such as Apomps, and others who will show up). I've still got quite a number of tricks (and major plotlines) up my sleeve.

Lots of stuff to tell to both illuminate and perhaps muddy the waters as we continue this little joyride, and we're only halfway there. *GRIN*
