The Liberation of Tenh (updated April 24)

Awesome. Thanks for the post!

But... what happened to Pris? How did she come to be not dead?

Also: is it just me, or has Jespo gotten a lot more useful in battle?

From the beginning, I counted a displacement on Regda, but then a domination of one of the Judges, and then maze on a celestial before he went out on that finger of death at will thingie.

Did Jespo just level before this update, or did someone supervise his spell selection/have a talk with him?

Can't wait to find out what happens to Tau. Does Heydricus take him in on behalf of Tritherion (from a spell-granting standpoint), or does he become the baddest ex-cleric in three nations?

 

[coyote6]

Any guesses as to who Tau's buddy is?

Yes Pris did. Poor Jespo just keeps dying every time he reaches 16th level! Adventure at 16th, die, raise back to 16th, die, repeat.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Tau found a new god? We know he was studying a forgotten deity and it sounds to me like he just brought Pris back from the dead.

Tau cries out—the first noise he has made since entering the room—and rushes toward Prisantha’s side. He takes her head in his arms, and mumbles softly to himself.

Just after the main part of the fight, we get:

Tau looks up from his reverie at Prisantha’s side, his eyes wide. “She’s still breathing!” he says. “Heydricus! She’s still alive!”

Either Pris was faking her death (which I doubt) or Tau prayed for and received some type of Ressurection spell.

At a guess, I'd say Tau was on trial for actually finding a new god.

But then again, I could be way out in left field on this one. Any comments, (contact)?

And by the way... you have the most quotable story hour ever!

Brilliant! I'd taken the mumbling to be of the somewhat typical crying-because-the-20-something-Charisma-babe-got-killed sort, not the hey-I'm-a-secret-spellcaster sort.

As for the identity of Tau's prison boyfriend, I have no idea.

It's not just you.

You know, it's funny *how many* of the ideas from that thread got put in to use over the last year. Not necessarily all of the good ideas from that thread got into the game, but pretty much all of the good ideas in the game came from that thread.

Re-reading it just now, I realized-- I haven't DMed a lick in the last year and a quarter! Nice job plotting my game, and thanks!

I just love that sentence on so many levels.

As soon as she sees the two judges finish their preparatory spells, Prisantha sweeps them with Mordenkainen’s disjunction, tearing spell from target, and rendering their efforts worthless.

Kinda a hijack, but - has anyone ever considered house-ruling Disjunction into some kind of Superior Dispelling? Like a more powerful version of Greater Dispelling. Maybe something like a bonus to your caster level check? So, still a very good spell, but not the nuclear bomb that it is now.
