I'd like to have the scroll of Cone of Cold, to scribe.
Hold Monster is from an opposition school... but then again, I could start scribing it in scrolls, too.

Praxis rolls his eyes at the dwarf's terrible acting. "Hopefully, they're really stupid even for ogres," he comments as he knocks an arrow.
"Remind me to study item-crafting," Lym says, shaking her head. "Someone needs to make a headband of enhanced intellect for that Dwarf, too..."
LOL! I just died on these! Oh man that's just funny stuff right there I don't care who you are. :D

Cripes, I leave on a business trip and it turns into a Vaudeville act, or worse, a ScyFy Channel special ala 'Sharknado'.
Note: The section the ogres are working on is NOT the same section that you saw from the ground, where the water was pouring over. That's on the far side of the dam from where you are standing now.
Will get this back on track today.

Guys, I apologize greatly for inconsistent posting. Work has become very busy and getting the kids through school is turning out to take a large amount of time. I prefer a regular pace, and a semi-quick one, but it has become difficult as of late.
One thing I will guarantee: If I can no longer do this, I will let everyone know. I will NOT just disappear. If it ever goes to 3+ days without hearing from me, send me a PM.
I am posting this statement to all my games, so I apologize to some of you who may have to hear it more than once.
Bear with me, I enjoy all my games and players, and have no intention of leaving them!

Just to let you all know, ever since I downloaded Windows 10 I've had nothing but grief. It works, it doesn't, it works again, and now I can't do anything on my computer. I freaking HATE Windows 10.
Anyway, until I can get this resolved my posting is gonna take a hit. Can't really say how often or how little I'll be able to post but hopefully it won't be too much of an issue.
Gonna wipe the hard drive and see if that helps. Oh what fun.
| Javell DeLeon |
Yeah, highly recommend AVOIDING it. I wish now I would've never done it.
I'm also not any sort of "tech" wizard either. Like at all. So maybe computer people would have an easier time of it.
Good news is, my computer works again. Bad news is, where I once use to have about 30 or 40 icons on my computer, I now have only 1.
The "Recycle Bin". :( (Funny enough, as sad as that is, I can't help but laugh). :p

Well, I was wrong. Completely wrong. A temporary fix it was I guess. I'm afraid it's some type of drive issue preventing my pc from going to windows. And I got no idea how to fix it or if it's even fixable.
My posting is gonna take a hit for a while. Will post when able but I got no idea when this issue is gonna be resolved. So if you're wondering why I haven't posted in a day or two, that would be why.
Sorry.

I know at least two people who had to take in their PCs too get them fixed after the W10 debacle.

It's probably what I'm going to have to do as well. So freaking annoying.
@Kellen: I wish I would've stuck with 7. Never had any issues with 7 at all. Such a dumb, dumb mistake I made.
| Lym Blackhand |
I figured Lym would at least know a little about contracts with planar creatures from her lessons in Conjuration, back in Nex. ;)

I hope, I really hope, that you guys enjoyed that scene as much as I did. That is one of my all-time favorite scenes in an AP. I thought you all played it wonderfully. And I don't use "wonderfully" all that often. So everyone else is aware, Kellen's actions were discussed between him and I while the scene was ongoing. Specifically, I asked him if he was sure he was going to enter the circle to check the ashes. Just so you know I didn't try to railroad that result.
I have my suspicions some or all of you have played this AP before, so I am trying to make it as fresh as I can.
Thanks again, that was great.
| Kellen Wrensler |
Heard bit's and pieces, but never played. In fact, it's one of the reason I wanted to play is because I have heard of lot of interesting stories about the AP.
You are spot on about Thordak, Javell does an awesome job of it. It's a great combination of short-fused barbarian and crazy prospector/miner going on there.
| Praxim |
Do we not have diamond dust for a restoration spell?
I did play that scene before, so I was trying really hard not to give anything away. When I did it last time, it was as a wizard who had no compunctions casting a summon monster spell to dump a lemure into the other circle and then boast to everybody he saw for quite awhile how he had personally slain a pit fiend with a single 2nd-level spell.
| Lym Blackhand |
I couldn't do that.
I can't summon evil creatures due to alignment strictures. ;) I'd need planar binding.
| Javell DeLeon |
I do have to say, while all of you are roleplaying your characters really well, Thordak is killing me right now with the confused dwarf thing. Never let it be said that there isn't anything for the dwarf barbarian to do (or say) during the 'talky' bits.
You are spot on about Thordak, Javell does an awesome job of it. It's a great combination of short-fused barbarian and crazy prospector/miner going on there.
lol! Just figure Thordak would add his 2 cents in even if it doesn't quite add up to 2 cents. ;)
But I gotta give credit where credit is due. If it weren't for you folks, it wouldn't be possible. Kudos to you lot for making it easy(and fun!) for me. :)
When this AP came out, I actually read the entirety of it. I had always pondered running it but realized I just don't have the time. But, my memory is so terrible, I barely remember squat. I don't remember this at all. I don't remember the water trolls at all. I'm pretty positive there's gonna be a lot of other things that I don't remember. :P But I do remember the ogres. Especially the really fat, Jabba the Hutt Ogre lady. Hard to forget something like that... unfortunately. :P
I was in one Runelord pbp that started from the beginning and died early on in Book 2. I'm in another one currently that has just started from the beginning. Typically, I don't really care to play in the same game again and again; but I was invited by another player that I've ran with before in a previous pbp and decided what the heck.
When I saw this one and saw that it was starting from Book 3, that's what had me sold on it. It's tough going through Book 1 again and again.
| Kellen Wrensler |
A little something I'm working on. A bunch of people walk into an inn...
