The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep

[Breakstone]

It's game day today!

How'd it go, Doc?

Wow! This is a really awesome story hour Doc. Got me sucked right in. I love the contrast you have going with the characters.

Just a question for Dartans character, is the name Dartan inspired by Daratnian (sp?) from the Three Musketeers? Or is Dartanians even from the Three Musketeers or did I just dream that up? Hmm, I worry myself. Either way they are both cool names.

Keep up the good work.

 

[Dartan]

Yes Dartan's name came from The Three Musketeers.

No game yesterday Tsunami. Yesterday was our Halloween party, and we all got quite drunk at Doug (Vek)'s house and played video games. Quite fun. Except that other Doug (Dartan) and I were zombies, and Vek-Doug was a vampire, so he kept on conrolling us as minions. It sucks to be commanded to fetch his drinks and guard "the gates" (his screen door) all night.

The Halloween session I'm hoping will take place sometime this week... which would be better, as it would have to be at night.

Wow! This is a really awesome story hour Doc. Got me sucked right in. I love the contrast you have going with the characters.

Phew, that's a relief- in your thread about how some story hours weren't so great, I had the biggest nagging paranoia that mine was one you'd read a few paragraphs of and sloughed off. Nifty. Thanks!

I'm personally kinda annoyed that Jamison's antics HAVEN'T killed or seriously hurt anyone. I mean, he's only "evil" when he was possessed? I don't think so, his insatiable curiosity without regard to the danger around himself and others is an amazing liability.

I don't get why the other party members weren't a heck of a lot more surprised and angry over his behavior with the drum. I mean, it's not like they can shrug their shoulders and say "Oh, that's Jamison for you..." because they haven't adventured with him that long.... right?! (This being my not so subtle jab at the potential for metagame knowledge interfereing with character action)

All in all, I'm missing Dekker right about now....

The players all wanted Jamison to strike it.. we wanted to have a challenging fight. Our characters thought the act a lil crazy but the only one who considered it 'evil' was Dartan. I don't think its more evil than say punchin a baker in the face

All in all, I'm missing Dekker right about now....

Me too! I can bring him back you know! One way or another.. we could have a kick ass ghoul Dekker party mascot if he doesn't want the ressurection .. lol

You're confusing incidents. It's the BARD that got punched in the face. The baker took a sword in the gut. But I disagree, neither of those hold a candle to banging a gong for fun.

Re

I finally read the past story about what happened in RttToEE. Jamison went mad and killed two of the party members in rather cruel ways. I can see why Dartan hates him. I hope Dartan kills him permanently at some point in time.

 

[Jamison Crow]

Ouch guys, I see alot of anti-Jamison posts out there. Jamison has a childlike personality. He would never try to hurt his friends or anyone else for that matter. He is just really unwise and makes bad decisions. Wisdom: 8 He is also chaotic neutral and has a really free spirit. He feels awful about hurting and killing people while under enchantment. Dartan on the other hand hired an assassin to kill his fellow adventurer, someone he has known since childhood. He holds grudges against me that were not my fault.

Any way there will be alot more Jamison, he still has to redeem himself of all the evil acts he did while under the evil enchantment.

I found it really tough to plot a murder when all those stoopid clerical spells cover just about each contingency. Dumping the body in with the sharks was about the best thing I could think up. I really think if that'd happened, Vek would have had much less chance of success.

Ouch. Really? Look, if you'd ever like some of us to chip in some great ways to kill players, and make sure they stay dead, I'm sure we could oblige!

For example: Finger of Death, followed by Animate Dead. Undead creatures can't be raised (but (sigh) they can be Resurrected). Simple, cheap and effective.

And there are many other ways........

.....You thought sharks would prevent the all-mighty Vek from bringing him back? Oh ye of little faith..........

But really, assasination in 3e D&D doesn't work. There are better ways to remove opponents from "active duty". <insert maniacal laughter here>
