Just gotta Dance!

Great update as always!!!

So what did Mr. Acessiwal's treasure plie look like?

BTW - quick ? for Wee Jas about Vek and turning/rebuke/commanding undead. How did you do it? Iv'e read thru the Codex you mentioned in a post above, but it would be really cool to just get a simple explinatiojn of how youv'e done it. (this is info for my own cleric of death I'll be playing in a game I'm joining in tomorrow night.)

You could make it easy and have a Phlactery of Faithfulness you could consult. I don't think Wee Jas wants to be bothered by her clerics asking permission to turn undead. You should use your best judgement as her cleric. The lich we encountered I warned to back down. If he attacked us after that I would've attacked him in self-defense by any means possible.

 

[Dursk Starkfire]

just a silly question, but can you turn yourself Vek? and if you did, what would happen?

 

[JDragon]

Wee Jas - Thanks for the info.

I like the Phlactery of Faithfulness idea, and will probably be doing that.

I guess part of it is I want to get a good idea of how it should work so I can pass it on to the DM, since he may not be aware of how the goddes feels about her followers dealing with undaed.

Now returning you to your regular kick but story hour by the one & only Dr. Midnight.

So Doc, why didn't you have the dragon just crush Vek's phalactery?

 

[Broccli_Head]

double post...please delete

 

[Dr Midnight]

He didn't crush the Phylactery because Vek didn't leave. It was only there as a means of threatening Vek- otherwise, all he has to lose in combat are his items. Perhaps the dragon would really just crush it spitefully as he begins to lose, but who wants that? I just wanted to present the threat, and I felt it came across. One side wins, one side loses... no in-betweens, this time.

Long time listener, first time caller...

I'm a big fan of the Knights. I look forward to reading up on their adventures. But not crushing the phylactery bothers me. If the dragon stormed the keep and got to the phylactery legitimately he should definitely crush it to even the odds of the fight - without even thinking about it. It's not like the dragon is an honorable foe.

I guess my biggest problem is that if there is no legitimate threat to the phylactery then Vek is immortal - there aren't any downsides to becoming a lich. In exchange for no Con score, you're immortal and people are afraid of you. It is almost like he becomes a character from some sort of MMORPG who just needs to find his corpse after death each time. The safety is always ON - even more so than the regular cast.

I'm not saying that you should shred a beloved character for the fun of it, but the threat of death needs to be there.
