Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zad" data-source="post: 3633318" data-attributes="member: 90">Ok random thoughts in no particular order.We concluded on Saturday that Ikea furniture comes from the Paraelemental plane of particle board.More seriously:I'm a bit boggled by this part of the story arc. Not what we experienced - that was great. No, I'm boggled by the Module As Written. (MAW)According to Wizardru, the entire battle of Redgorge takes place off camera. The PC's aren't involved. I'm not entirely clear on what happens in the MAW, since there's no Interdiction to save the town, but it's really disturbing to me. A demon army attacks, and you are off doing other things? The fact that the MAW brings you off-plane at a very bad time itself was a sticking point for me and one I ultimately only ended up going along with because that's obviously where the module was set up. But this was really wierd.As it happened for us, it fit in neatly with the campaign world and let us act and be involved in what happened. But the idea of writing the PC's out of it really boggles my brain.(For those that don't have the background: due to a big history with demon/angel wars, there's a set of rules called the Interdiction that limits the activity of outsiders on the Prime in this campaign world. It's been modified over time, and largely came into being in its present state in the former story hour/campaign. Short story is this: outsiders on the prime can expect to be thrown out very quickly by the Judges. They are a group of celestials charged with enforcing the interdiction. The diety Ralishaz - a god of the prime - is in charge of it all along with some key players on his team like Meltorannan. Mel was formerly an angel of Pelor's before events in the last story made him swing over. The rank-and-file Judges are a bit closed-minded and not really open to negotiation - they enforce the law as written. Higher ups can bend a little. So when you see a demon army, it becomes clear that there's a loophole somewhere. Knowledge of all this has only recently made it's way to these PC's but they're catching on fast.)On a story-related note, I'm not sure what will be happening in the near future. I've had some trouble summoning the necessary muse lately to write the story and do a good job with it. I hate just dashing something off for the sake of doing it, so I'm in a bit of a quandary. Part of it may relate to the last adventure, which was frankly somewhat uninspiring. We'll see what the future brings. It's possible the story may go on a hiatus which I'm sure would disappoint the three or four people reading. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
