Wizardru's Story Hour (updated 11/21)

Due to the holiday, impending vacations and a really bad illness, we played Barakus this weekend. The Endhome Six encountered their first Hill Giant. Super hella-fun. And we learned there's such a thing as being TOO good at bluffing.

Meh. Don't make me regret missing last night's session.

Well, your character was desperately needed during the combat so you got full XP for it.

Soft, very soft...

WOW! That was a great combat. Dru did a total Bolo move and in true Bolo fashion it backfired on him. *snif* I'm so proud of him! One hill giant, a goblin sorcerer on a flying broom, and a troop of Orcs against the 7 of us (Including Keldin). Miccah, adson and Aistlin almost died in that battle and Ravenspur almost became a Giants hand puppet. Oh and real LOOT!

'Bolo moment'? How do you figure? That was a Ravenspur moment, baby. I stunned the Hill Giant for two rounds, and nobody was in any danger, not even Ravenspur. Hell, I was playing that big ape like a fiddle, and could have done it for another six hours or so. All hail the Bluff skill and the Art of the Lie!

Any news?

Sorry, we know it's been a little while. The main game is currently on break, as Valanthe and I just returned from a week-long vacation and Dravot is still on his own. Zad is at an SCA event this weekend, as well.

Instead, we ran another installment of the Endhome Six (plus one), Scorch's Lost City of Barakus game [in which several important linkages were made and storylines tied off...and the setup for a huge pitched battle may have been set]. We got 200 xp, which was very offputting for those poor schnooks who only need 350 to reach 5th level.

btw, Scorch informed us he has a storyhour in the works for it. I can't wait.

Tip: If a session seems to be a little light on XP, on the way home from the adventure one character should say "Stop! I hear goblins!" This will prompt an encounter to make up for the XP shortfall.

In these situations, I like to give XP for back stories, character info, or some other stuff of that nature. But I think your group tends to give that stuff away for free...

Looks like we're playing the SSoM Game Friday. Yeah! Bolo needs to smash some undead.
