[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 1490727, member: 7737"] For whatever reason, these updates have a very Moorcockian (as in Michael Moorcock, [i]Elric of Melnibone[/i]) feel to them. Especially the part about Rhul et al. -- they remind me of the various supernatural entitities whose help Elric sought in his various adventures (especially [u]Stormbringer[/u], the book). Of course, most of Elric's allies ended up as soul-food for Stormbringer, the sword... we can hope Eadric won't follow that path! My hat is also off to Sep for employing "one hand giveth and the other taketh away" -- at the same time that Graz'zt begins taking a more active role, the heroes also gain new allies. Good DM trick to keep things in a state of tense balance. As for Nym, I take it that his discarding of his torc is meant to symbolize his adoption of the Vow of Poverty (and the accompanying Acetic benefits) from [i]Book of Exalted Deeds[/i]. [/QUOTE]
