[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 9477781, member: 16069"] [CENTER][B][SIZE=7]Mega-Ubdug, an explanation.[/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] I feel the need to explain... Every now and then I ask the PCs 'What's going on here?', just to see what they are thinking- about the plot/story etc. The oft repeated answer involves, and this from all of the players, that we are working towards some epic finale involving a giant dragon/snake/primordial/god versus the Dark Squad either inside, or else fighting alongside, some titanic robot/transformer type creature- Mega-Ubdug! Of late they've been getting obsessed with the coming of the Mega-Ubdug. So, the last fight put paid to that idea, I got fed up with them going on about the robot/transformer thing. That's not it. That's not where we are going, and so players- think again. That's all the giant robot (I'm 99% sure- never say never) you are getting. Oh, and just to say after the fight above the players were, for the first time for a long time, suitably cowed, there was a lot of- 'that was...', followed by a trailing into silence. Or else a few choice swear words. They really didn't like the Tentacled Horror, and I think from this side of the DM screen that was about the fact that the fight, even at the end, was just getting harder. I enjoyed their reaction immensely, it felt like my reward. Cheers Goonalan. [/QUOTE]
