Name: Noodles
I have DM'ed for a few years and this is my first player death. I'm a softie, what can I say. Anyway, the wizard Noodles and his cat/familiar Steven were an odd pair. When the party reached the Bunyip hole in the briar patch, they noticed some shiny stuff in the bottom. Noodles thought it would be great to be lowered by rope so that he could use Mage Hand to pull up some treasures. However, the Bunyip's howl caused the Barbarian to drop the rope and flee. Over the next several rounds, Noodles tried to swim to safety and ended up getting bit into unconciousness. Around the same time, the Alchemist dropped a well placed bomb to scare off the Bunyip for a bit. The group was able to pull up the rope (it had caught halfway down the hole...I'm a softie) but Noodles hit negative CON one turn before reaching the top. Upon seeing that Noodles was fully dead, the quick witted player instantly said, "Steven suddenly morphs into an elf and says, "Thank goodness! That crazy Noodles trapped me in that cat form years ago..." Who can say no to something like that?

That is true. Of course, we make spectacular enemies. ;) ps - I'm excited for your Browns. The new brain trust should be a good one.
Thank you all for the help. I am in the Tacoma, WA area. It appears that the only 'local' games are an hour north near Seattle. Not out of bounds for a weekend trip. I did email the Venture-Captain for the local area to see why not/if there are any games perhaps closer to me. Also, the Emerald City Comicon is in March and would be another great option to play. It sounds like I need to pick up a copy of the Field Guide as well. |
