Wizardru's Story Hour (updated 11/21)

[dravot]

I like the fact that you've worked the Tomb into your game world. It's a pretty high-level thing to begin with (what 15-18th recommended or something?) but what it takes to boost it up another 7-10 levels will be fun to look for.

For instance: Stunning Fist? So those alips had monk levels or something?

(edit: okay, some of that is more appropriate to a Rogue's Gallery thread.
I found the thread with the SSoM PCs, but I'm still looking for the beastie thread.
I *know* I remember there being one...)

Yes, the alips had monk levels. Imagine our surprise when we found that out.

The allips were 10th level monks, in addition to being advanced in hit dice. They were effectively CR 21, iirc, but they didn't get all the feats they should have (in particular, some of the Eberron monk feats they should have had, due to my failure to forward the correct versions to my home address), which is why they were considerably less effective than they might have been.

When I have a chance, I'll post their stats to the thread that must not be named. Mind you, no one batted an eye when they encountered a vampire monk in the lobby.

I'm not sure that we knew that it was a monk. I guess we could have had the dust analyzed.

Hahahahaha! Was that actually said?

No. That was just me looking for a way to tie it up into something that resembled an ending.

It just amazes me that it took so long to go through 2 rooms.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Oh, yeah, worked out well...

The Night wasn't the most stellar example of Paladinhood...

1. Wisdom drain. The first one wasn't so bad, since I still could cast restoration. The 2nd one took care of that, however. Dravot had to get involved.

2. Fighting the Cubes. wich consisted of:
a. Getting bludgeoned and Caught as soon as I poked my head above the wall.
b. Fighting my way out of said cube, to have a Wile E. Coyote realization that the cube was the only thing holding me to / on the wall Resulting in
c. 40 ft drop. Nothing major. still embaressing. Of course, the 2 new cubes created couldn't hold the wall for the moment either, so they were down in the pit with me. Leading to...
d. Now let's see...what was that message before this one? Something about:

Can you guess wich Set he was referring too?

Thankfully, Kayleigh left this bit out of the official record. History gets written by the winners and all that.

Aethramyr.

Welcome to MY world.

I remember looking at faces around the table while I was reading the description for the room of the prophets, and the reactions both to the text and the picture that was facing you as I read it. I think that quote summed up the mood in the room pretty well, really.

Now that's just untrue. I would never omit anything that entertaining where Bolo was involved. The readers would be disappointed and all

Some readers might wonder if I make up some of Bolo's antics to enhance the story. As an author, I have no reservations about doing such a thing, but I never have yet. First, nothing I imagined could be as amsuing as the real thing, and second, with Bolo around, you never have to.

Some days this stuff just writes itself

 

[Argent Silvermage]

LOL! Unfortunatly I as a player have this knack for attracting the strangest things to happen. It is true that Bolo is on a wild ride with the whole getting eaten thing, but Bolo is not the only character that has been the "chaos magnet" that I played.

In an old campaign of Wizardru's I played an Elven mage/druid type character named Pharon. He was befriended by this weird totaly obnoxious white dog/fox creature that caused no end of mischief. Pharon also for the longest time only spoke through his fellow elf Alvarion (my best friend's ranger character) while on a scouting mission in an abandoned building Pharon just happens to say in elven "There are humans here? We haven't eaten any humans in a while!" totally as a joke between the two of them (as they of course didn't want to harm the humans) well the humans spoke elven and it started a battle between the two elves and the humans they were trying to protect.

I want my due. That's my line of work!
