[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 3279714, member: 198"] Glad to be of service. I noticed a long time ago that while it takes me a couple of minutes to really work out in my head and drop into character for my other NPCs, I can switch into "Killian mode" in a second. Korm's player said that I should really start worrying about what that means :) No, he doesn't. But the player is convinced that it's going to be horrible. I'll try not to disappoint him. Thanks. That entire scene got sparked by a line in Terry Pratchett's novel "Thud!", where a dwarf speaks of his son being stabbed and left to die next to a locked door. I like to have lots of gray areas and ambiguity in my game, which is one reason Eberron works so well for me, but I also like to have some fairly black-&-white good and evil in there. I don't think they're incompatible, and it just creates more complex situations for the players. We had the last of our weekly sessions yesterday and are now switching to a fortnightly schedule since my college is reopening. Much as I'd like to play weekly, teaching two courses and working on my Ph.D. makes that a bit difficult. So, the updates will spread out a little bit now. But I do have material for a good 3-4 updates already. And we had one of our most hilarious sessions yesterday. Let's just say that Luna in the Tain Gala, the premier monthly social party in Sharn, is a bad mix. Without going into too much detail, among other things she explained to the Cyran ambassador how to deal with the fact that his nation blew up, got freaky with a gnome, and decided that a locked, guarded door in the home of the wealthiest family in Sharn is clearly an invitation to go inside. Quote from Rackhir while Luna was doing her thing: "Can I cast Empowered Disintegrate on myself now?" [/QUOTE]
