And see, I thought that would simply piss off the owner.

Just out of curiosity, why do you hate spheres?

Actually, killing the cat would have killed the owner in this case :p It was more of a threat, but with Char you never can be too certain. I have to make sure that the characters are well entertained, or they'll make their own entertainment. *shudder*

As for spheres... you'll have to ask Char's player that, he was the DM for that campaign, I've only heard tales. Eeeeeeevil spheres, eeeeevil I say.

Double update tomorrow, Session 1e and Session 2. I'll try and get 3-5 written up as well, but I won't post them right away, gotta spread the update love.

Session 1e

Allesan takes them out to dinner, to a tavern near Linus’ house. Large quantities of food are consumed, and Char is introduced to a flaming drink which she swallows without snuffing out first, loving it.

Over dinner they discuss the “Konam” chronicles - tales of a barbarian warrior who became a legend.

Yes, I know, it’s a rip off of conan. Not my idea :)

Linus and Char are determined to find out more about this Konam, declaring it their Quest.

Session 2 - March 23rd, 2002

March 19th, 1695

Char wakes to hear someone pounding on the front door. The other two are awake, Linus busy in the kitchen making breakfast and Allesan in the loft. Char opens the door, confronted with a tall, blond haired warrior with an axe slung over his shoulder, two more warriors behind him. They are all wearing animal hide armour and scowling. They start to push their way inside, demanding that Allesan be brought to him. Char attempts to stall them, claiming not to know where Allesan is, then attempts to manifest a power against him, but gets punched in the face, knocking her out.

The barbarians spread out, two going into the library/Linus’s bedroom, while the leader heads the other way, towards the kitchen and loft. Hearing him coming, Linus prepares to cast a spell, but comes face to face with the barbarian leader, who lays him out with one punch, then heads for the loft to look for Allesan.

Indeed, it is very integrated. :) I'll have another post tomorrow sometime, and as soon as they are done exams, Char and Linus's players have promised to write up a bunch of Konam stuff and submit it to me for posting. Should make interesting reading!

I'll also have some updates to previous posts (details I missed), and maybe I'll finish the website too. If you're good :)

Session 2b

Allesan climbs out a window and over the roof, climbing down a tree in the front and coming in the door as Char wakes up. He gives her a knife and sneaks back up into the loft, coming up behind the barbarian and hitting him in the back of the head as he looks out the window. The barbarian grunts but doesn’t go down, then everything goes black as Linus invokes a ball of darkness on the loft. The barbarian charges Allesan in the darkness but misses and goes through the railing and over the side, falling to the floor below, out cold.

Meanwhile, the two remaining barbarians come out of the library, heading for the kitchen/loft area, but are distracted by Char who leads them outside. As they draw close, she manifests firefall, and motes of burning ectoplasm drift to the ground like burning snow, lighting the barbarians on fire. They stop and start trying to put the minor fires which have started up on their clothes out, while Char watches and waits. As Linus and Allesan run out, she hits the closer of the two barbarians with a bolt of fire. There is a brief struggle, but they manage to knock them out, leaving them on the street and going back inside to survey the damage.

More updates as I write them!

Pyro is one thing. Char is something akin to obsessed. Kewl.

Actually, this is really just a bump and a poor attempt to be witty.
 

Thanks for the bump :) more updates as I write them, but I've been away the last couple of days (mmm spontanious lan party) so haven't had a chance.

Of course, if I'd been smart, I would have got my players to help me out.
