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

Re

I thought it was pretty cool though and would have said so, if I wasn't too sad about Jamison's final demise.

You've got to be kidding me.

Well Jamison WAS wanted by the law, and I thought part of being lawful was trying to uphold the laws of society. Vek didn't turn him in while he was alive, so why not dead...?

Moreover, I would think that the reward would help adventurers do a lot more *good* then burying a corpse. And hey, it's not like Jamison will miss his dead body. I dunno. I could see even a good character being able to justify it rationally. I would've turned the corpse in.

Vek even said he'd teleport in and retrieve it too. Sounds like easy money to me!

I would expect no less from his henchman.

And he meant that in a nonconfrontational, we-all-love-this-story-hour kinda way.

I think

Perhaps we should hear from Wee Jas on the issue. Is Doc just portraying Vek in a bad light (unintentionally of course) or are we dead on? And what's your take on this Doc?

Mnn. I emailed Doc about this last night. We joked about this out of game a bit. Edge argued "why not?" but I said we were just going to bury him. Actually I don't know if Edge and I even know about the reward. Neither of us went to Greyhawk on the trip Grumbar found that out.

I was never going to turn him in. I have no need for the money and Vek really liked Jamison (Jamison always respected him and never said he smelled or anything).

At the table Kizzlorn never argues against me or chastises me in any way either. That is "DM magic". I'm considered the level-headed statigist or "uncle Vek".

Don't take my word for it though, ask the other players

Ok, Doc was playing with us. I hope you can see how the way he wrote it seemed more than a little un-Vek like given his previous behavior and...hmmm...I think friendship with Jamison.

Lela,

Yes. I am just ribbing NWKnight a little...)

 

[National Acrobat]

Wow. good stuff, keep it coming Doc. It is nice to see Jamison get the peaceful rest that he so tried to have in life. Now who is going to run around and touch all of those things that DM's place in their adventures, just knowing someone will touch them?

BTW, Nice new sig. picture Doc. I rather like it, although I am a bit biased...

Re: re

Man, that was a sad show by Vek. I hope Doc gives you an alignment shift if you do something like that. That is not lawful neutral behavior in the slightest, nor honorable for that matter. Unbelievable.

At least Kizzlorn has a strong sense of honor. I am so glad the Knights didn't go along with Vek. I can't imagine that Doc would have enjoyed writing such a situation up and I certainly would have been disgusted reading about it.

Other than that, good write up Doc. Great roleplaying by Kizzlorn and the child-like Grumbar.

I dont agree with the corpse situation.
1) What is Jamison going to use his body to when he doesnt want to come back? Nothing. It will be eaten by worms and bacterias in a couple of months, and no more. The bounty would be better in that case.
2) The victims of Crow would certainly get some satisfaction by seeing Jamisons body being torn into pieces or fed to some dogs or something like that as a compensation for the killings of their relatives who were alive when he killed them and didnt have the means to resurrect. Jamison wouldnt be hurt from this process.
3) Would a priest of undeath care very much about funerals? He has even animated his own corpse! It would be strange from a roleplaying POV if he were very serious about a funeral.

IIRC Wee Jas is a Goddess of Death, not undead. Vek is not a priest of undead, he has made himself undead to better serve his Goddess...

Well, I didn't just "throw it in", nor was it "DM magic"... I was poking through the module, and I looked up to watch the conversation going on. Now I'm being told "No, no, that was out of character," so I'm all like "What WHAT!" And Wee Jas is totally "For real, dude, I never said that" and I says to Mabel, I says.

So, I'm about to wipe that part out... which is too bad, because I really liked it. STUPID PLAYERS! I hate them. I need to smash them with Heroclix.

I tried all yesterday to write, but it wasn't coming. I'll try more today... I've got a lot to catch up on.

Read the module first and pay attention to us more.. your buried in that book its why we go out of character

You should see some of the things Doc has Horatio say "OOC"... lol.

There were several jokes out of game about the reward for Jamison's body, but it was never said in character.

And, as Wee Jas pointed out, none of us knew about the reward. Grumbar found the wanted poster with Jamison's face on it & showed it to him. Since Grumbar can't even read, Jamison is really the only one who knew (in game) what sort of reward was on his head.

So, you can all relax and think good things about our lich friend.

And as for Hero Clix, Doc, you're silly Swamp Thing is nothing in comparison to my (homemade) Wonder Woman!!

Edit: Uh, why is it suddenly showing her backside? That will have to be fixed when I get home tonight! LOL
