The Liberation of Tenh (updated April 24)

[Barastrondo]

As a note, my players had never seen the Warduke action figure, and missed the toy reference entirely, but they were really excited about his backstory.

Toy reference? Or references? Suddenly, that bronze dragon is looking awful suspicious, too.

It made him fun to fight (paid in wishes-- cool), and when he killed Lucius then nearly killed Regda in one round, they caught a healthy dose of teh feer.

Watch out, Lucius! The Liberators don't like to bring back cohorts from the dead too often. Better keep those deadpan witticisms coming, or they'll trade you in just like they traded in Elijah and Thrommel.

"Well, it's not that there's anything wrong with him, it's just . . ."

"Yes?"

"My new cohort is . . . well, a paladin, and this one is evil."

"So you're worried about problems between them."

"Exactly."

"Other than that?"

"Well, other than that, he's been fine."

"An assassin, is he?"

"Oh, yes. A fine assassin."

"Assasinated a lot of people, then, did he?"

"Well. Actually, he hasn't ever . . ."

(Squinting) "And what level is this 'assassin'?"

"Oh, he's seventeenth."

"Are you sure?"

"Oh, yes, I am sure."

"And how do you know?"

"Well . . . he told me that he . . ."

"I see. Look, I don't have a lot in stock right now, but if you like I can trade him in for a Lawful Good conjurer, mediocre stats, with a bit of a persecution complex."

"Oh, no thank you, we already have one of those."

I think the 'honey' reference indicates that Pris and Heydricus are finally interested in each other for reasons other than pre-combat augmentation magic, battle formation, and Flanaessian politics.

So whose name is on the "After Thrommel gets married" plot point pool square? They won.

Tumbled to page four? four? This just won't do.

Congratulations on a great read, (contact). It was your ToEE + 20 that brought me to these boards, taught me to love D&D again, and gave me a real sense of validation when I DM'd cartloads of PCs into oblivion.

In my mind, you've got hard core heroes here - they overcome fearsome obstacles to do good deeds. They're not perfect, but it's not about being perfect or invincible. They make good with what they've got, and manage to go beyond what would be just good enough. That's heroic in my estimation.


With the Liberators, I want to see a party thrive, not just endure the next challenge or make TEH NUMBARS BIG. They've got what it takes, and so do you, (contact).

Double congrats to Emily Rose. d20, roll high, kid.

Hey!!! (contact) it's been a whole year since the last update! And the Story Hour was about to fall onto the 4th page again. Don't tell me the players are STILL busy with that baby thing? How much time could that take out of their lives (Tongue Firmly in Cheek)?

 

[Plane Sailing]

Still love the story!

I was guessing that Pris's "honey" was just part of her normal feelings towards Heydricus.

"that's my Pris" on the other hand... is Heydricus showing affection to his comerade in arms now

 

[Barastrondo]

Or maybe the original Prisantha quit the show after the last season to pursue a movie career, and the current Pris is deciding to approach the role from a "gum-smacking Southern diner waitress with too much eyeshadow but a heart of gold" perspective.

I heard Dabus left on account of creative differences, and the writers keep abusing Thrommel because his actor is vocally politically conservative, which vexes the largely liberal writers' clique.

Ah, what tales that casting couch could tell...

Thank you, that's quite a compliment!

Killed Lucius? No!

Lots of people die around the Liberators. The ones they like tend to get better.

So I go away for 6 weeks and I come back to find just one update, and this thread down on page 3. Holidays, baby and all that I understand - like I said, I was gone for 6 weeks - but your loyal fans are still out here, (contact) and we haven't forgotten you or the Liberators. Looking forward to the next update.

The baby picture is classic though. Very cute.

Thanks Wish-- between the holidays and the baby, we're on a little gaming hiatus. Hopefully we'll get some dice-time in soon.
