Wizardru's Story Hour (updated 11/21)

[Graywolf-ELM]

My party (capaign went from 4th to 20th level) got very fond of my Astral Constructs walking out front of the party, and triggering traps and ambushes. I can't count how many times poor Atlas saved us all, and indeed one player kept track of all the ways he died.

Not one wanting to hijack here, but is there any chance you'll post that listing somewhere here? Curiosity killed the cat and all that.

I'm going to check out those swamp pieces.

[LordVyreth]

Well, there's always the "stock up on Bags of Tricks or wand of summon horribly doomed Celestial Badger" trick.

I've just put out an email to that player, to see if she still has the list. I remember it included quite a few "Killed by a fall", as well as "Shredded by big monsters". It also included a few "Disappeared into darkness, never came back" and I suspect that there was at least one "Vanished to another plane". Also "Fell into lake, never came back". In fact, there were a number that we had no idea what happened to the, they just never returned.

Should I have new body writeups ready for Bolo's impending reincarnations?

I'm sure that Bolo would be glad to summon up some water elementals for that duty.

 

[Graywolf-ELM]

Didn't he get in trouble with them before, by summoning one into the plane of fire, and shoving very poisonous items into another, and sending it back.

Then with the Fire elemental dropping it into water from up in the air?

Won't they cut him off again?

Ok.... Yes Bolo had a few problems with his summonings. After the 12 step program he's fine now. (And I knew what I was doing with the fire elemental. It just didn't work as well as I planned. )

 

[WizarDru]

FWIW, Mount Celestia would revoke the rights of any caster that intentionally and continually threw one it's creatures into guaranteed deaths, as well. Evil creatures, obviously, could care less.

 

[Zad]

Which is of course why astral constructs offer a conscience-clear way of solving the problem.

I'm still not convinced I want to walk into any module by Bruce "Spawn-of-Satan" Cordell.

Actually I am convinced. Convinced that I don't.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Can we just have Aethramyr go first? He needs killing.
