Soft Machine-Bundles

I love the distinctive sound of a Hammond B3

Interesting, both groups I have run through this had no issues with the Broodfiends, I wound up condensing that tower fight to three battles. The Devils/Vampires at the bottom were a nice appetizer for the group.

I wound up having only 9 kyuss knights in total(an homage to LoTR) But they were all significantly stronger than the ones written in the book. Four were at the SoLS, and five were in Alhaster. I did not care for the whole authority check thing, so we had a massive street battle with four knights, some vampire shadowdancers who I used to just to cast bat swarms and the nightstalker?

The second battle was with Lashonna, Hemriss, Blessed Angels and Broodfiends, I am in full merciless mode at this point so when I get a wish and a miracle needing to be cast in a fight that's a success in my book.

The top was Big K, the leader of the Kyuss knights, Mother Superior of the Blessed Angels( I added her on a whim during the PoRH mod and had her stated out for this battle royale) and some Blessed Angels. This was a fun fight especially when the sorcerer discovered that Big K had spell stowaway as an added feature

Ho Boy, My favorites are the ones I have known the longest.

LoTR: First fantasy I ever read and the one that has had the biggest impact on me

Discworld: I mean Monty Python/ Douglas Adams meets fantasy. Great stuff

Thomas Covenant: Yeah it has some similarities to Tolkein. But the main character is...different than most

Black Company: Definitely more true to life

Earthsea Cycle; Really nice worldbuilding

Vlad Taltos: A fantasy novel with some sci-fi weaved in and one of the most memorable main characters

The Pendragon Cycle: I love this guys take on the King Arthur legend

I think the best "Recent" series I've read is The Night Angel Trilogy

Adding my thanks to you for these awesome maps. What a timesaver this is! I am in the process of prepping this for a run in Athas

13-Black Sabbath

Alas, the last time I saw Ozzy was on this tour

My intro to Ozzy was through Black Sabbath in 1977. I was just getting into rock with AC/DC, Aerosmith, Nazareth. The cool older kids played me Black Sabbath and I ain't gonna lie. It scared me and I loved it.

Trans Europe Express-Kraftwerk

Great driving music

Sounds like a good fight and the players had a good time

Check out this thread for some help

Artophanx

The action economy struggle for solo bosses is real. LOL.

No doubt, I had him fully buffed and had him cast mass fly on the centipedes and scorpions. My guys weren't touching the ground at this point. I also included the chimeras in the attack to help Big N out

Isn't there something in there about him spending six rounds to buff, yeah right, like all those minions would last that long.

WotB is nasty(I used the 3.5 version) but sadly never got it to stick. I celebrate vicariously through you

Birds of Fire-Mahavishnu Orchestra

He is the best followed closely Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Christopher Lee and of course Bruce Campbell

Pretty damn good for an inquisitor, Con is a bit low. Probably go with a reach weapon

U.K.

Shadows-20 Golden Greats

Because i'm a glutton for punishment, I ran all 30+ dragons at the end. It took three sessions. I grouped the smaller ones together and just hit my guys with three or four breath weapons at once.

The only dragon that landed was Xyzanth who was sporting AMF.

I saved Brazzy for the end as they entered the final chamber, I had the wall turn to lava and melt away as He attacked the seriously depleted party.

Broken China-Rick Wright

Out of curiosity's sake. Did you do the dragon attack at the beginning as written?

I did the attack at the end as they made their way to the citadel. It seemed like a proper ending

Petra I don't envision going to the middle east ever

Warrior on the Edge of Time-Hawkwind

Phantasmagoria-Curved Air

How long after Kyuss' attempted ascension did the elves/dakon and eladrins surround the Spire of Long Shadows with the Obsidian Ring? Was this before, during, or after the Order of the Storm defeated Dragotha?

2) When did Dragotha relocate Kyuss' monolith to the Wormscrawl Fissure? Was this before or after the construction of the Obsidian Ring?

In Short, This is the way I ran it

1. Kyuss' attempted ascension.

2. Defeat of Dragotha by the Order of the Storm.

3. Creation of the Obsidian Ring around the Spire of Long Shadows

4. Dragotha relocates Kyuss' monolith to the Wormcrawl Fissure

As far as exact timeline, I went with what jenner has above

You know I get that recommendation in my feed alot. I think I've seen at least three different album covers for it.

Hemispheres-Rush

My Favorite Rush Album

Going through some albums and rediscovered this one. This was the opening band from the first concert I saw

Dragonfly-Mahogany Rush

Perro Sessions

Well, at least they had an epic death!

Very true, no shame in losing to the most powerful opponent in greyhawk

This isn't my first TPK, but I sure do hope it's the last

Names: Clarence, Jack, Volos, Harsh and Dungrin.(TPK)
Class: Cleric, Fighter, Sorcerer, Rogue and Fighter 19
Adventure: Into the Wormcrawl Fissure
Location: The final Cavern
Catalyst: Dragotha

I've seen alot of complaints about Dragotha being weak. Let me help you out

1. Advance him to Great Wyrm
2. Change out some of his bad feats for metabreath ones. I like extended, spreading and quicken
3. Do not have him cast spells with the exception of ones like breath weapon substitution and time stop
4. Have the fight in a big open cavern, seriously like he's going to sit in an enclosed space
5. Give him the arcane strike feat, just in case he is having issues hitting. Highly doubtful but still a better use of his spells IMO
6. And like all boss fights in my games, give him minions

Party has defeated the wormdrake and his two gated in frostworms. Dragotha flies in and blasts the party with fire. this pretty much eliminated their pro fire spell and then quicken the deathwind breath weapon. My group had this thing about not casting death ward. They also were pretty low on resources.
I told them that they did not have to go on but they insisted they could handle it

So long story short Dragotha lands and begins wrecking people. He was dropping one per rd. Again i asked about the miracle/ greater t-port spells They chose the mass heal route. To quote the indiana jones movie "They chose poorly"

I suppose I am now expected to come up with some post-apocalyptic campaign

The Calvary Cross-Richard and Linda Thompson

The Game-Roy Harper

Remember the Future-Nektar

I had fun grazing on this tranche of D&D history and came across these three albums that "can add immeasurably to the expedition/adventure, and sometimes helps keep rowdy parties quieter and more manageable". All by the one of the best keyboard players ever Rick Wakeman

Journey to the Centre of the Earth

Flowers of the Forest-Mike Oldfield

Gets ya right in the St. Patty's day mood

Man, did this dude pick the wrong area to spam.

Anyway, I am prepping DoaNa and can confirm that the second part of the rod is available.

Also a new Vecna mod is being released for 5e and I believe the rod plays a major part

Name: Harsh
Class: Rogue 19
Adventure: Into the Wormcrawl Fissure
Location: The final Cavern
Catalyst: Maximized Disintegrate

This one is pretty straightforward, Our friend failed a fort save vs a 20th level Maxed disintegrate from a Gibbering Orb. What can i say High level play is quite deadly

Alas, the group did not make it to the final battle with two frostworms, a wormdrake and Dragotha.
They got held up by two Balors, 4 dreadwraiths and a Gibbering Orb

You would think that after all the undead they have encountered the cleric would have Death Ward cast. Nope, they are relying on Rings of Inner Fortitude. Great item don't get me wrong but when a dreadwraith crits Ouch

Today is the day that my group faces off against the Dracolich Dragotha. I wish them luck. lord knows they are going to need it
