The Rape of Morne [Final Update]

[Guardian Andy]

I feel sorry to Eadric also. Poor Nehael...

Our gentle old lady Soraine was dead, and Tahl the ever friend of Eadric, followed.

And it just give me more reason and passion to support this story hour! May their soul rest in peace.

Truly Demonic, if you ask me on how bad is the demons in Sep's game...

 

[dpdx]

I'm floored.

This story is so amazing, I think about my ability to roleplay and mentally absorb a campaign world and come up with: I couldn't handle a stableboy's role in Morne, much less one of the major characters.

 

[LostSoul]

The best Commune ever.

edit: Hey Sep (we're friends, right? ), which books would you recommend as reading for a D&D campaign?

 

[Mytholder]

Bloody hell.

I am continually impressed by Sep's ability to hate the PCs, as evidenced by the sheer nastiness of the ambush and the wealth of opponents.

And my head's still spinning from the theology...

 

[Eridanis]

"Inside, on a velvet cushion, were a pair of lips, cut from a face, and still fresh with blood."

"Oronthon, aware that his own church, divided against itself, could not endure unless it was changed, had decided to overhaul it. His solution was radical."

“You may hold onto his claws,” Sem instructed. “He will endeavour not to drop you.”

"Before he was killed, he must be utterly broken."

And the best of all:

Not all truths are unequal. Remember that I love you, Tahl.

What a Friday morning gift. Hope your move went OK!

And I'll be thinking about poor Tahl today. Out in an instant - but Mostin showed he could do the same, to a balor, no less. The dialectic continues to cycle...

 

[Eridanis]

Another thought:

If this campaign does go epic, we just might see Eadric's war on Hell. And not just to destroy willy-nilly, but with the intention - the possibility - the hope - of trying to bring the devils back into Oronthon's grace.

Not even Milton would have dared. I can't wait to see how this works out.

 

[wolff96]

The fact that the Heretic had no engines of war was of small consolation.

He had the Druid. Oronthon help us all.

...and that's a huge part of why I love Nwm so much. You don't often think of enemies quaking in fear of a druid, but after his destruction of a huge chunk of an army...

-------------------------------

I just want so say once more that you are an evil, evil man. The temptation, now, on top of the death of Tahl and Soraine, the torture of Nehael, and the continuing war on Morne.

A word of congratulation to whomever it was that suggested several months back that the tempatation would occur during the darkest part of the war on Morne -- I think this definitely qualifies.

-------------------------------

One question, Sepulchrave... Do your players know that there is a huge group of people on ENWorld who salivate over whatever they do and wait restlessly for the next set of fantastic tales?

I mean, Nwm, Ortwin, Mostin, Eadric have FANS here. That's got to be good for the ego.

(Oh, and mark me down as a Nwm fan-boy.)

-------------------------------

Okay, I lied, I have two questions: Since Ortwin was only recently reincarnated, has Eadric considered having Tahl brought back? Or would Tahl have issues with owing his life to a pagan?

Considering all the other MoTW spells you use, Nwm probably has access to True Reincarnate these days...

 

[Ridley's Cohort]

“So. What do you want?” She asked.

Hullu thought long and hard.

Had the Succubus Chr’ri been present, Mesikämmi may have used a different tact – the Demoness, after all, had advised guile in dealing with Hullu.

But Chr’ri was with Chomele, Kalkja, Rimilin and Uruum. They had been joined by a second Balor, named Irzho. Graz’zt was less interested in the possibilities that Melancholy offered, and more concerned with the broader issues, as the nodality began to develop a new facet. That, and an overwhelming desire to hurt Eadric: deeply, profoundly, again and again and again.

Before he was killed, he must be utterly broken.

Fabulous, fabulous stuff, Sep!

I am extremely impressed how NPCs live and breath in this campaign. Hullu is a particularly intriguing wild card to me.

 

[The Lemon Merchant]

*stunned silence*

 

[Velenne]

Amazing, as always. If this were a book, I'd never be able to put it down. Every paragraph is riveting; every update gives me chills. I literally ponder for a few minutes after each one and marvel at the story's complexity. Take a bow, Sep.

Oh, and put me down as an Ortwin fan-boy.

Can't wait to see what Hullu's part in all of this will be.
