The Mésalliance. Part 1. (Updated 4/18.)

[Eridanis]

Trimmed a litle less than a page of posts. I'll do more this coming week...

Hmmm, it's been a week: is it too soon to ask for another update Sep?

I just realized that Mostin doesn't prepare very well for these slugfests - several times he has been tapped out during these sorts of encounters, but he never seems to have any scrolls handy in case of an emergency.

Amen, brother. Every adventuring wizard should have a cache of scrolls to get him out of trouble. At low level that could be expeditious retreat or invisbility; at higher levels it could be teleport or plane shift.

Reading a scroll is a standard action that provokes AOOs - the same as casting a spell. Unfortunately, retrieving a stored item (such as a scroll) is a move action that also provokes an AOO. Provoking multiple AOOs in one round is bad... but then again, how many demons have Combat Reflexes?

On another note, it could be that Soneillon asked for Eadric et al.'s aid precisely in order to deplete their resources. I still don't trust her.

Heward's Handy Haversack doesn't provoke AoOs...

Wouldn't the web of motes mean that mostin would have figured that out?

Heh! Are you forgetting the good old days, when we measured the seasons by Sep's posts and the days by the tap-tap-tap of Horatio's?

 

[Darklone]

Bump. Sorry, was a reflex.

Wulf has started a thread on actually printing and selling some of the more popular story hours as Print on Demand Books. So here's a link to the thread, since it is something that many people have brought up.

I don't know if Sepulchrave II is aware of the thread, but since his is one of the story hours most likely to have demand to get printed (I believe), it wouldn't hurt if you posted your thoughts on the subjects or at least contacted Wulf about it.

Ha! I know those parched days of yore well. That doesn't meant that I can't guzzle at the tap of plenty in the present, though

Nwm is definitely my favorite character. He is inspiring; both of my own characters have a little Nwm in them (I play a druid and a monk). I have researched the Tao Te Ching, the Koran, and Buddhist philosophy to better flesh out my monk's beliefs. I doubt I'd have put so much effort into it if Nwm's and Eadric's players hadn't raised the bar so high.

I agree, I'm on my second Druid Character (campaign change) and I still go back over Nwm's Character sheet from http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5652&page=1 I know I'll never be as great as Dave (Nwm's player), But I have asperations...

Now, I really have to agree with folks here, Mostin should have made a few scrolls, or at least bought some. BTW, wonder what Orolde is up too. Has he made it to 1st level yet???
