The Liberation of Tenh (updated April 24)

I haven't actually read the story hour yet, but this section caught my eye as I was looking for where it started. It's things like this that have endeared the Liberators to me so much. Thanks (contact)! I needed that!

I'm reminded of some elderly priest/monk/whatever way back in the ToEE ... "Go to the first level. Kill everything. Go to the second level, kill everything. Go to the third level ..."

Er, isn't anyone other than me wondering what happened to Dabus and Prisantha?

Well, yeah, but I'm not done laughing yet at the Elder Conclave thing, nor am I done wondering why it's funny.

However, the shrubbery jokes are like a sitter at the top of the penalty spot. Nicely done!

I'm kinda intrigued about Dabus and Prisantha too. Mazed, maybe?

Thanks (contact) for the double length goodness. May there be more.

My wife didn't get the Elder Conclave thing. I stood there sheepishly saying "But it's because... high level druids... like, this elf is saying that a bunch of heirophants are pissed at him... because a angry flower bush just... and the thought that heirophants would use a... it's funny..."

But she did just about die at the "most likely to crit you on a partial charge" reference. So we'll always have that.

After reading through the story hour and letting it stew for a while. It occurs to me that the druids might have been the "Innocent/non-evil" opposition as was suggested. None of the commune? answers indicate that they were necessarily out to get the liberators, per se. In particular they didn't know that the mines were no longer under the control of the Iuzians, which might just indicate to me that they were attacking simply under the impression that they were still facing Iuzians. After all you can be someone's "enemy" if you don't know who they really are.

I would also hazard a guess that the weapon they were trying to forge from the ore was to be used against that stone thing, they found up at that giant's fortress. So they might even have been potential allies.

Oh well, it's not like you'd expect someone with the Liberator's background to negotiate after they've been attacked. Kill first and then maybe get arround to asking questions later.

I'm with you, Rackhir. I think the Druids were good guys. Or at least neutral guys. The wolves had Underdark fungus, and the Good celestial emotes make that fungus grow... okay, that's a tenous connection. But it still makes me think that Heydricus made an error.

Oh well. A few Speak With Deads and Raises, and everyone's almost good as new. No hard feelings about that whole cutting-in-half business, eh elf boy?

I wouldnt feel too guilty if I was the Liberators seeing as how they are merely responding to an attack on them.

 

[Urbanmech]

Mmmmm double post goodness. Like double stuff oreos only better.

I'm also not quite sure that the Liberators have made the right choice here. Maybe some discussion from a distance or magically would have been a better idea. But then again characters making bad choices makes for a more interesting game.

Hey, thanks for the kind words, everyone.

The good news for this thread is that my players have been really fired up for this game recently, and we've been playing faster than I can write the logs! That's bannannas, b/c I generally write with a quickness. We've had 3 sessions in the last week, and they want a weekend game to boot!

So, I'll be able to update soon and often for at least 3-4 more updates.

We have been having a ball. Classic scenes, unexpected twists, and overall, a comedic soap-opera with lots of dead people.

Here's a quote from Jespo that pretty much sums it up: "May I introduce Heydricus Tritherionson, and Prisantha of Verbobonc; my two oldest friends who are not undead."

I hereby proclaim (contact) as the Quentin Tarantino of the ENWorld Story Hour. His story is violent, stylish, and filled with unexpectedly witty dialogue.
