The Heretic of Wyre - Part II

[Green Knight]

Looks like I showed up just in time for an update!

The Eleven Penants, who from that day dressed in unblazoned sable, became Eadric’s fiercest proponents.

Love little details like that.

Anyway, who's Demogorgon? Of course I recognize the name, but I'm not all up on specifics, here. Don't go back to 1E days, as I started playing in 1990 (Unearthed Arcana is about the only 1E book I've ever read).

I've never had my writing analyzed for allegorical content before, and its quite enlightening. Given the group (Zen Humanist, Neo-Pagan, Lapsed Catholic, Party Animal and ex-Hippie), it's not surprising that some weird stuff sort of 'spontaneously arises.' I won't say who's who, but you can probably guess.

[Is it ever really possible to play anyone other than yourself in an RPG?]

Ooh, ooh! Let me try!

Eadric - Lapsed Catholic
Nwm - Neo-Pagan
Ortwin - Party Animal
Mostin - Zen Humanist

Guess that makes you the ex-hippie.

 

[Fade]

Yay!

 

[Sammael99]

Ooh, ooh! Let me try!

Eadric - Lapsed Catholic
Nwm - Neo-Pagan
Ortwin - Party Animal
Mostin - Zen Humanist

Guess that makes you the ex-hippie.

My take would be

Eadric - Zen Humanist
Nwm - Neo-Pagan
Ortwin - Party Animal
Mostin - Ex-Hippie

Which would make Sepulchrave the Lapsed Catholic...

Somehow I can see Mostin being played by a Zen Humanist

 

[AvarielAvenger]

Heh. Sepulchrave earlier identified himself as a fully lapsed Catholic, remember? So with that out of the way, I'd say:

Eadric: Zen Humanist.
Ortwin: Party Animal.
Nwm: Ex-Hippie.
Mostin: Neo-Pagan.

Query. Is there any height to which your groups imagination, inventiveness, and creativity can't soar to with ease.

I'm not sure if you guys inspire me with greatness or sicken me with jealousy right about now.

<bumps the counter on the wall up one>

Wow.

<wow counter is somewhere between 5 and 6 hundred at this point>

 

[Broccli_Head]

more thanks...

Enjoyed Mostin's attempt to convince Eadric to take out Feezu!

And Nehael and Nwn's philosophical discussion.

but...we need some more Iua and Owrtwin...please. I guess to me they still represent the "adventurers" . The others have too many obligations.

It amazes me how stubborn the Curia has become. Nice to see some more defections, however.

 

[AvarielAvenger]

The Curia is now facing the proverbial "rock and a hard place". If they continue this war, they will likely lose, having exhausted most of their high level magics, and being faced with a number of extremely powerful, high level PCs.

However, if they stop the war, it would be an admission of failure, or, much worse, a mistake. Since the Curia is supposedly infallible, if they stop this war, they would be admitting it was a bad idea to follow it. The only way they could prevent this is more religious twisting of logic as seen in most real world religions. Heh.

IE, it was neccessary to fight against Eadric, but we were never meant to win, it was merely a neccessary trial that had to be faced, etc.

Anyway. Sepulchrave, I don't have T&B, so I can't say if the ELH template is the same. The ELH template is quite powerful, however, so I doubt it. For example, a Psuedonatural Troll is CR 21.

Eadric: Zen Humanist.
Ortwin: Party Animal.
Nwm: Ex-Hippie.
Mostin: Neo-Pagan.

Damn, you're right. I forgot about that.

Hmm. I mostly agree with that, though I'd probably switch Nwm and Mostin around. I figure the Druid player is a Neo-Pagan and the Alienist player is an ex-hippie.

Then again, I was wrong about Sep, so what do I know?

 

[Hammerhead]

It would be very funny if Feezu decides she needs to locate the one who is spying on her, and goes on a quest to locate a "Discern Location" spell.

 

[Avarice]

"It was a Planetar for Heaven’s sake," Rede responded. "That hardly seems possible."

"He has uncanny powers," Hethio said, "but I agree. More likely is that the scrying was somehow foiled. Powerful wizards can cause any image they desire to appear to an observer. Hence, we may never know the true course of events as they unfolded, or even if our sensor is revealing accurate information now."

.

Amazing. Are there no bounds to this man's capacity for self delusion? I wonder how many more defeats it will take before Hethio's erstwhile allies on the Curia feed him to the fires and proclaim for Eadric?

As always Sep, great stuff!
