I added Kuva's fort save to the bottom of Kuva's last post yesterday - sorry for the confusion. Putting this here so it doesn't clutter up the gameplay thread!
A wizard using a crossbow. I like that, brings me back to the old days when players knew the wizard didn't have to use magic all the time.
All of my spellcasters have crossbows. They can just never hit with them. Might as well spend their standard action snapping the bolts over their knees.
Hey gang, my posting is going to be spotty at best for the next week and a half - losing my lunch break check-in time during school vacation. I'll be back in the regular swing of things the first Wednesday of March.
Just got my work schedule for the near term. If the estimate is correct, I need to put in about 160 hours over the next two weeks. You know something's going to go wrong. So I'm putting the games I run on hiatus for 3 weeks. See you then.
Oh, my player knowledge totally gets that - but Kuva totally has a chip off his shoulder. It has 'flower' in it's name?? He's totally convinced that all the other barbarians are going to laugh at him now.
...Mordecai says clinically, pondering how the idea of bringing these creatures off of the island is *breathtakingly* unwise, but keeping that opinion unvoiced, since he's fairly certain that Clegg isn't going to live long enough to see his plan come to fruition.
I thought this too, but less eloquently. I hate monsters that spawn because in most cases there's really no reason the world shouldn't have been swamped by them already. Some day I'll run a campaign that starts at really high level. The BBEG will be a simple wraith. I'll set it in a city.

Yeah, the incorporeal ones are the worst. Being unable to leave the island, the alien doggies at least have *something* mitigating their taking over the planet. Shadows, wraiths, specters and greater shadows, on the other hand, are just brutal. Vampires at least have a vested interest in not creating spawn (not being big on the sharing), and don't just do so by accident.
Green slime, brown mold, etc. would also sweep over the average planet like wildfire, consuming everything else.
The ecosystem (or necrosystem) of the average D&D world is fubar. :)
In the module as written, Clegg sends the party on various missions like those you just discussed at lunch. They are a collection of sidetreks with little impact on the main story-line.
We can RP the encounters and combats in detail, or we can kind of broad-brush them and I'll just describe the next few days.
