Soneillon. Part 2. (Updated 10/7)

[Rackhir]

Many years ago when watching some anime I made the observation that it's always the quiet ones who really kick ass. Nwm certainly fits into that category. Most of the times when he's pretty quiet, but when he gets mad, boy does he kick ass.

Good luck with your closing Sepulchrave.

Woo hoo!!! Welcome back, Sep!! Congrats on the house!

The Demon set his pristine slaadi-forged blade across his knees, and relaxed into an immense throne of steel – erected in place of Irknaan’s delicate chair of tenebrous coral. He intended to enjoy his tenure as despot of Afqithan.

Uh, how did Ainhorr get Hullu's sword?
Some behind the scenes stuff I imagine.

Great update Sep. w00t.

Aww Hell! I missed that. Great spot, Pants.

I wouldn't mind knowing what happened to Hullu and the succubi-influenced witches.

What, you think the Slaad have only ever forged one sword?

No, but I believe in Chekhov's Law.

I'd lay even money that the succubi Honey Paw was dealing with sold them out to Grazzt.

And I agree with DanMcS - Chekhov's Law. That's got to be Melancholy. A second "pristine slaadi-forged blade" at this point in the game would be strangly out of place.

In a normal story, yes. In a D&D campaign, not so much. But since this is both (and Sep is stunning when it comes to detail), I tend to agree with you and Dan.

I gotta' agree. Nwm's got a great technique. He sits back quietly while the rest of the party makes waves, but when someone really, REALLY needs a swift kick, he unleashes, like the force of nature he is. It's not that he's got more Big Bang spell potential than Mostin (he doesn't, I'm sure), it's just that Nwm's got TIMING...

The scene where Nwm single-handedly decimates the army from Morne was the point where I considered myself officially and completely sucked in. Go Nwm!

And go Sep. Thanks for the update, and congrats on the house!

[edit]I'd love to see an update to the Rogues Gallery thread posting the stats for Nwm's "She is tired of your interference" spell. But I'd rather not add stress to Sep's plate, so please don't consider this an urgent request. Just an "it would be great if you get a chance".

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Heh. My fanboy status re: Nwm is further cemented now. Ditto on the spell request and ditto also on the non-urgentness.

Speaking of favorite characters, though, I was re-reading the story and game upon this Ortwin gem, from when they had captured the Balor Rurunoth. Ortwin is taunting the demon with song:

"Come on Ruru, don’t be a party-pooper. Sing along! Perhaps you’ve got some old favourites that we can sing together?"
The darkness remained unbroken, but the voice of the Balor echoed in Ortwin’s mind.
I WILL STRIP AWAY YOUR BODY AND PEEL YOUR SOUL. YOUR ESSENCE WILL EXPERIENCE SUCH UNENDING PAIN THAT YOU WILL BEG FOR RELEASE. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LAYERS A SOUL POSSESSES, MORTAL?
"Ooh, I don’t think I know that one. Sing the first couple of lines, and I’m sure I’ll pick it up, though." Ortwin retorted.
YOU, AND THE NATURE-PRIEST, AND THE FILTHY PALADIN, AND HIS ACCURSED TURNCOAT WHORE. THAT PRETENTIOUS SCOFFING LITTLE WIZARD. I KNOW YOU ALL. AND YOU HAVE OVERSTEPPED YOUR POWERS AND UNDERESTIMATED MINE. SOON YOU WILL ALL BURN.
"You," sang Ortwin, "and-the-nature-priest…hum…de…dum…"

I laughed and laughed. Just thought I'd share.
