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

[Lela]

“It’s not from Pelor,” Menerous said. “It’s from your wife.”

Dartan froze. He stayed silent for several moments. Then, “Give it to me.”

Good frick, that's evil DMing.

I bow to your mastery,

Re

I don't remember who Jamison's sister is either. Good update Doc.

 

[Neverwinter Knight]

It must be the wretch who, among other things, was the partner of the mindflyer in that stinging adventure that cost Gryph his free spirit... You know, the one that gave the mindflyer the mirror with Accessiwal in it.
It was a she and she knew Jamison. Some demon, I guess...


Nice loop, Doc. Back to the Gauntlet, it is. Richards, how about a song? And, BTW, did you make the adventure scalable to fit 1st level adventurers as well as these epic heros?

 

[Horacio]

Speechless Horacio wants MORE!

 

[Darklone]

Will Meepo be in the gauntlet too ?

 

[Wraithdrit]

Good set up, I'm looking forward to the end of this epic story.

At Neverwinter Knight's urging (blame him for what follows!), here's the latest in a much-longer-than-I-had-realized string of parody songs. (I think this is parody song #22!) This one is sung to the tune of the Eagles' "Take It to the Limit," and is once again written from the point of view of the evil Crow.

TAKE IT TO THE GAUNTLET

As you bask in the sweet glow of victory
As you strain to pat each others' backs
I am thinking of a future full of hundred-ton beasts that attack
You know I'm gonna kill my father
('Cause he's got me annoyed)
Yes, I want to kill Dad
(No need to mention Freud)
But his dreams I will crush first
I will slash them all
And bash them all
And smash them all some more

If you think you can stop me
Well, that sure sounds fine
Let's take it to the Gauntlet one more time

You can spend all your time fighting evil
You can waste all your time being good
It'll all fall to pieces tomorrow
Like I said it would

And when you're fighting with my sister
(No, you don't know her yet)
And an "old friend" or two
(Quite a surprise, I'll bet)
I will release all the monsters
They'll be burning Oerth
And spurning Oerth
And turning Oerth to goo

So come and try to stop me
And you'll soon be dyin'
We'll take it to the Gauntlet one more time

Take it to the Gauntlet
Take it to the Gauntlet
Take it to the Gauntlet one more time

Hey,

I've been reading this story-hour since the very beginning and I am sad to hear, that it's finally over, since only other story-hour I read, is one where city called Morne exists.

I like tragedy, happiness, and dramatic elements in this story. Not to mention interesting, sometimes a bit dark, and sometimes almost comedical characters.

Game itself is probably with very different feeling, than how I read it in this story, and hope you all have had fun.

Maybe you might start another adventure in same world, after few years have passed with totally different and unconnected characters. Mmh, maybe it's just me, but I think in-game history is cool. My dm always starts new game in alternative universe and it's sort of boring.

Ah, but then again I always end up destroying the world or something, or so they tell me.

Anyway, I wait full of eager curiosity, exitement and saddness how this is going to end.

 

[Neverwinter Knight]

Great stuff, Richards!

I guess you, most of all, will be wondering how the gauntlet has been changed by Doc to fit this last battle.

While we're at it, why not try to predict the outcome of this finale?

- Dartan: Will survive (of course) and start to worship Pelor (maybe in the midst of battle). Alternatively, will sacrifice himself to save Kizzlorn or one of his sons.

- Edge: Is wished into a human and makes out with Kiz...

- Kizzlorn: Either makes out with polymorphed Edge or it's the other way around: Kizz is wished into a halfling/half-dragon...

- Maximus Brothers: Killed by Crow


- Grumbar: not being part of the battle, he becomes the leading cook for his bread-related meals.

 

[Caliber]

I expect a deadly landslide to at least kill one of the Maximus Brothers ...
