The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep- UPDATED 6/6

[Lela]

Eh... say... anyone in need of a good undead horse?

Tsunami, we should join forces! I'll emancipate (now that Vek is dead, I'm free if I want to be) myself and I think you're already sentient. Together we'll become Wee Jas's new most loyal worshipers!

To arms Tsunami, soon all will fear the BROOM!!!!!!!!!

Great ending for Vek, Doc. I definitely didn't expect Vek to be destroyed by his own goddess.

I hope you at at least write a passage including a message from Wee Jas to her other priests concerning the folly of ursurping or challenging her ultimate authority. That would be a cool add on to have Vek's fall from grace become a parable of Wee Jas's religion.

Can't wait to see what you have planned for the other knights. Hopefully at least Dartan and Kizzlorn end up happy, they have been there since the beginning of each group. Dartan was there when the KotSQ begin and Kizzlorn was there when the KoSK begin. Kind of nice to see them end up happy, since the rest of their companions were using the revolving door into Wee Jas's realm.

Great story Doc. I hope you do another campaign soon.

Horacio is speechless

Well, well, well. All caught up! Quite the surprise. I have a question though. Vek, did you have an inkling as to what would happen if you didn't hand over the... thing? Were you genuinely going for godhood, or did you kind of know you'd be reduced to ash?

Also, what happened to the shapeshifter! He takes a cakewalk with queen bee, and then we never hear from him again!

Hey, if anyone wants to raise me I'm a pretty good guard.

Someone? Anyone?

Doc and I discussed in length how this would happen. It was only a shock to the other players. They were all convinced I was to be a god. Heck, The minotaur was ready to be my first follower!

Don't worry Metus and Tsunami. You guys are kicking around

 

[Elocin]

Ummm...WOW!!!!

Damn great story Doc and I can not wait to read more.

 

[Morrow]

“You have proved yourself unworthy of being my chosen warrior.” She walked to him, bent, and lifted his chin gently. She looked upon his face… a skull covered with dried strips of gray skin and muscle. The empty sockets looked up at her. She kissed him. “Wee Jas grants you the gift of death.”

Sir Vek Mormont screamed as he died, turning to crimson dust and scattering to the winds.

An entirely appropriate end for a truly memorable character. Well done.

Doc Midnight, consider your ego stroked. That last bit took serious guts, as a DM....not to mention the player's role!

Doc and I discussed in length how this would happen. It was only a shock to the other players.

Awww, Wee Jas....ya gotta give us more than that!

• #1) Was this scene role-played out, with no prior discussion?
  
  #2) If you knew beforehand (as you imply above), why did you go through with it?
  
  #3) Doc mentions that is was a "twist-bomb". That implies that you didn't know your character was going through his "final test". Which is it?
  
  #4) How much did you know, and when did you know it? "I do not recall, senator." only works for high-ranking government officials or U.S. Presidents. ....And no argueing about was "is" is, either....

Nonetheless, good job, guys. Wee Jas, your post above on your character's loss shows some serious class.

 

[Wee Jas]

I don't know how much I'm supposed to tell! /looks around to see if Doc's watching

#1) Was this scene role-played out, with no prior discussion?

We discussed it beforehand somewhat. I told him I was going there and we discussed how it would end.

#2) If you knew beforehand (as you imply above), why did you go through with it?

Actually I suggested it. I'm all for playing a dark hero who contrasts the other good members of the party (like oldschool wolverine) but our party is just to grim and gritty nowadays.. I saw a good opportunity for Vek to leave in a really cool fashion which will let me bring in a new character with a more 'hero' outlook.

#3) Doc mentions that is was a "twist-bomb". That implies that you didn't know your character was going through his "final test". Which is it?

I knew.

Thanks! Vek is my favorite dnd character. A lot of props go to Doc for that. He let me run wild with my creativity. Props to the readers too who jeer and cheer my actions.

Its going to be tough moving on to a new character. No more room for dark heroes here

ya know, its funny. I think I'm gonna miss Vek. As much as I loved to taunt him, his parting is still such a bittersweet sorrow.

Any hints to what your new character is going to be? (Or if the KotSK are going to continue? Doc mentioned that the storyline was drawing to a near...
