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

[Dursk Starkfire]

Undead cannot be critted. And vorpal weapons don't work on undead anyway (Except vampires I think)

Although that would be very cool!

Ah, but there's nothing stopping them from chopping your head off, even if you are a lich. Just means they'll be holding your head, while you're still "alive". Afterall, there has to be some disadvantages to being forever-more. I remember a bad movie called "Death Becomes Her", where they lived forever, but they had to keep gluing and duct-taping their limbs back on after they were severed.

Question: If Vek's head were to be severed, could he cast a touch spell against someone who was holding it? And secondary question, would they be awarded a reflex save?

 

[Wee Jas]

I think you need to crit to activate the sword. I could be wrong I guess... I've been house ruled before though

 

[Metus]

Poor Metus.. he loses his head over nothing.. whahahaa

Hey! That's awfully cold, boss! Here I was just doing my duty and I get made the butt of a joke.

But about resurrection ::cough cough:: Think you'd be able to make me into one of those new fandangled mummies someone mentioned? Greater mummy or somesuch? Can't say I'll dig the musty smell everywhere I go, but hey, sacrifices must be made.

 

[Conaill]

Hey! That's awfully cold, boss! Here I was just doing my duty and I get made the butt of a joke.

Pipe down, Metus. With a boss like Vek looking after you, I figure you're still a head of the game!

Ah, I crack me up.

Can't say I'll dig the musty smell everywhere I go, but hey, sacrifices must be made.

Eh, after the whole pulling-out-your-brains-through-your-nose experience, I doubt you'll be noticing the smell much.

So how much of an ECL does that greater mummy have anyway? And shouldn't Vek's Leadership score be going down by now with all of those "death of a cohort" penalties?

 

[Wee Jas]

We were thinking Death Knight

 

[Lela]

We were thinking Death Knight

The MMII version? I'd go with that Metus. You don't smell as funny and touching someone causes them damage. That, and if someone casts Holy Word (or perhaps the chaos equivelent, in this case) you end up hanging around with Wee Jas (or Vek if everything goes right). It's a good life.

Besides, wouldn't it sound better if the great god Vek has a Death Knight as his most loyal servent rather than a Mummy?

 

[Horacio]

Eef I die I don't want to come bac as a mummee, smell ees verree eemportant for a beeg chef as me!

 

[Breakstone]

I'm just glad I still hold the proud title of the First-Knights-NPC-Named-After-Reader-Award.

Horacio sighs

But you are a horse, a poor horse. Eef you weren't undead at leat I could cook you and offer to the Knights a good horse steak, but you don't even are useful for that... And you speak! Horses shouldn't speak. Get out of my kitchen, undead animal!

 

[Dr Midnight]

Game day!!

Some huge things are happening today. As the title says, "the end is near".

Big dramatic radio announcer voice:

The Knights of the Silver Quill saved the world, once... can the Knights of Spellforge Keep do the same, with the threat of global war waged by monstrous demons on the horizon?

I hope to finish the last chunk of writing for Session 53 soon, because today we play SESSION 54: THE BASTION OF BROKEN SOULS, and things will begin spiraling towards a hellish concluuuusion!
