X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - OOC

[kinem]

Sure, there's time.

I started a new IC thread which starts with the encounter.

I'll be away Thurs - Sun but maybe we can get a round in before that break.

I suppose we are having Leif run Rajah and Rhun run Nargon.

I suppose we are having Leif run Rajah and Rhun run Nargon.

Well....that was my personal preference. We haven't heard Rhun's take on the matter, however.

 

[Rhun]

Well....that was my personal preference. We haven't heard Rhun's take on the matter, however.

Considering I don't have the books needed to run Rajah, it would be my preference to run Nargon. I checked everything I own, and nothing has dread necromancer in it. Does this work for everyone?

 

[Walking Dad]

Dread Necromancer is in 'Heroes of Horror'.

 

[Leif]

I'm pretty sure that Dread Necromancer is also in Complete Arcane or Complete Mage. At least, I'm almost sure that I've seen it in one of my books, and I dont' have Heroes of Horror, so those two Completes are the most likely candidates.

But, yeah, Rhun, I'll fake Rajah if I don't have the class in some book. Sounds like we have us a plan!

Guess Rhun and I need to get our own copies of these "new" (to us) characters added to the RG, also, so that we can keep up with them and make changes as needed.

HARK! I hear Split Personality Disorder beckoning to us!! It's calling Rhuuuuuuun, Leeeeeeif!

Don't get too used to it - I still want to get rid of the XPCs ASAP. This is just so that combat isn't like playing my right hand against my left.

Or do you think I should recruit new players for the existing characters?

The Dread Necromancer is only in HoH (good book BTW), but I think the information on Rajah's sheet is enough to run him. There are other types of Necromancers, such as the True Necromancer, in other books. Let me know if you have any questions, Leif.

 

[Leif]

Seems like there's a good joke to be made about XPCs ASAP, but it's eluding my grasp for the moment. Ahh, well, it's probably for the best. I'm pretty ambivialent about recruiting others to play them. If we had a chance of success, alone, I'd really prefer to just do it with Aram, Girgal, Ripclaw, and Bevin.

 

[Leif]

Did I totally miss us finishing X4??? Or is our insightful and all-powerful DM just planning ahead?

OOC: I must say, guys, that this is the best group I'm playing with, I think. It's the only group I'm in where I have both Rhun and WD by my side, and that makes it an extra-special treat for me. If we just had Scotley http://www.enworld.org/forum/members/scotley.html with us he could be the cherry on top of our rocky road, pistachio, chocolate almond swirl sundae!

X4's not done yet, but the end is perhaps in sight. That's why it says X4-5. X5 picks up right after the party passes the Pass.

Yes, good group of players, here!

I think we'll need to add at least one more though for X5. It's not just a matter of the party being tough enough to even reach the Master; the group should be big enough that if someone has to take time off or something, the game can go on.

 

[Leif]

Now you're thinking ahead! More power to you.
