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

What the...wait a minute...WOW...Tarrasque...The knights, dead...killed by an archer...what the...

Meepo will save them

Doc: Wonderful. Looks like some nice plothooks how this could end.

The party will win the next fight simply because 3.5rd edition will have the archers shafted? Looks like divine intervention.

PS: Please post the Tarrasque stats somewhere later if you modified it... the MM1 tarrasque is sooo weak

WOW!!! Damn, Doc. Have you been reading H.P. Lovecraft or watching In the Mouth of Madness? That was a Lovecraftian ending if I have ever seen one. Boy, oh, boy. The world is going to end, the heroes are dead. Just unbelievable.

How did yours players react? They must have been pissed. You annihilated them.

Well, maybe somebody will pull the coals out of the fire, but from the story as written the party seemed to deserve what they got.

The note from Dartan's wife (via the angels) directly contradicts what the skull said about the nature of death, so one of them was a liar. I tell you, you should never trust a flying skull... But the big lug was too bitter to think it through, or to believe his beloved wife.

And when they get to the final door, and the final battle against their greatest enemy, they... opened the door and ran in. No divination, no buff, no summons, no attempt at reconnaisance, no "what are our best tactics against a wizard and/or a vampire archer". Unlike the Accsie battle, which was a thing of beauty, they seem to have treated Crow like a room full of goblins.

Here's hoping the kitchen staff will raise them for a second attempt.

And, just by the by, great story Doc.

Now all Snooky has to do is break the mirror.

I mean, that was the Knights plan right? Everyone get killed and get the evil guys to leave them alone with the mirror, so snooky can release the big 'G' and res them?

Having the added benefit of Dartan realizing the error of his godless ways?

Yeah, Great Idea!

<optimism>
Yeah, you guys are probably right: The Knights let themselves get slaughtered, so that they could fight the Tarrasque after freeing Gorgoldand.
</optimism>

You know, I hope this story takes a turn for the better. Not because I am a romantic fool and want to see the halfling carry off Kizzlorn into the sunset, but because Doc's story has been incredible so far.
I mean, when I first stumbled across the Knights, they were fighting with safety off, and ever since, I stuck with reading the story. Seeing these characters develop, especially through Doc conveying their emotions and characters in his write-ups, was really something.

Now reading them being dispatched by that world-breaker-wannabe evil Crow is not an exit in the style of the KotSQ or the KotSK & this is why they have to get off their dead behinds and take Crow's crazy head back to the keep as a trophy - right along with that of Thuriaq!!!

'nuff said...

TPK. Evil. Cool.

Hopefully we haven't been duped by a bad dream. *wonders what "more to come" is*

 

[Hammerhead]

So Very Poor

Not the story hour ending, but the Knight's performance. What level are they? The evil guys took them down as if they were clubbing baby seals. Can Kizzlorn cast 9th level spells?
