Dabus reverently reads from the cover, “Gainful Exercises for The Humble Everyman, pried from the Thews of the Ancients and set forth within by T’tam the Furious, Sacrist of Tovag Baragu.”

I spy with my little eye something beginning with "Xagygian Naming Convention."

And five of the others are equally ancient. Pre-dating the Rain of Colorless Fire, these magical tomes detail ascetic practices meant to enhance the growth of body, mind and soul. The seven adventurers eye the six priceless books greedily, all but Hastur realizing the implications of the equation.

Well, that does make things easier, though, doesn't it? Ignoramus is odd man out. (Although I only count six at that point — Lucius still being breast-fed or whatever horrible things happened to him at the time.)

Criminy. So who got the tome of Charisma? I shudder to think of Heydricus or Prisantha or even angelic ol' Dabus (who, by the way, still Kicks Ass in an appropriately Tritherionic fashion) augmented beyond the pale in such a fashion, but the image of Jespo Crim actually being augmented to "charismatic"... why, the mind boggles. Would we even recognize him?

This update R0><><0RZ.

Dabus beseeches Tritherion for an anti-magic sphere, centering it upon Iggwilv,


Isn't anti-magic sphere centred on the caster?

Nice update though, but it was strange to have two whole chunks of storyhour with nothing getting killed :)
 

Yeah! An update!

So if Lucius is now An Official Son Of Iggwilv, does that me he gets a share of the inheritance.

If might be fun if the Liberators come across a prophecy that states only Iuz's brother can kill him and of course until recently there was no such being....
 

Iuz is dead, long live King Lucius? Hrmm. Somehow I don't think that would be as automatically fun for the rest of the Liberators as they might imagine...

Yes. That is author error. The point is that there are seven treasure splits (because Lucius doesn't count as dead even in a Worst Case Scenario so long as Dabus is still in the mortal realm), and only six adventurers. Still too much counting for Hastur, I'm afraid, but Fras wouldn't let the party just shaft him because he's stupid (even if they wanted to, which they don't-- Heydricus is a veeeery egalitarian and embracing guy).

Shudder at will, sir. You know it’s a high level game when the +5 mithral plate of speed gets picked last.

Manual of Bodily Health (+3) -- Prisantha
Manual of Gainful Exercise (+3) -- Hastur
Manual of Quickness of Action (+3) -- Lucius
Tome of Clear Thought (+3) -- Jespo
Tome of Leadership and Influence (+3) -- Heydricus
Tome of Understanding (+3) – Dabus

Jespo is now officially smarter than everyone on the planet.

. . . except Prisantha. :p

Gwendolyn thought she was getting the shaft until the party glommed on to the fact that both the Demonomicon of Iggwilv and the Prison of Xagyg were artifacts. Gwendolyn actually got the Best Magic Item in the Game, but sadly the party had already (spoiler) by the time they figured out they could (spoiler) in order to save Greyhawk.

The Circle of Eight have already left the plane.

Yes, that was my mistake in the write-up.

Yeah, I think my players were annoyed as well. I tried to tell them they didn't want any of Iggwilv-- even with her cleric levels commuted to ex-cleric, she's still faaaar too much trouble for the Liberators, but after a whole session and 1/2 without killing stuff, Dabus decided he'd had enough of her eeevil.

If might be fun if the Liberators come across a prophecy that states only Iuz's brother can kill him and of course until recently there was no such being....

Ah, good idea!

Thanks for reading, y'all, and I'll try to update soon. :)

One wonders what the gossips of Verbobonc would make of that.

Of all of the very appealing things to envy, I'm actually envious of Dabus. Because a guy with a Wisdom score in the 20s can figure out how to be content, even in the middle of footslogging through the Dungeon from Hell, dealing with LE co-workers, or whatever sort of troublesome workplace conditions manifest at the time. That's the stuff.

Though the prospect of the two smartest people in Greyhawk being Jespo and Prisantha is... let's call it "unnerving."

(Oh, and by the way, though you may have already guessed, Gwendolyn has firmly ensconced herself among my Favorite People. Nothing says "awesome" like a well-dressed wizardess moving through a typical Tharizdun-inspired dungeon of Awefull Eldrytch Horrore and acidly commenting on the decor.)

[Edit: Not to take anything away from Prisantha, who does this as well. Gwen is simply... cattier. Bless her.]

You are so cruel (contact) to give us only these tidbits.
We need the real nourishment to survive!
We need the story!

“Well, don’t f-cking touch it,” Heydricus says. “If it starts glowing, run.”

Ever the dispenser of good adventuring advice. Soon we will see Heydricus with his own line of books.

Adventuring for Dummies anyone? :lol:
