Wealth? Status?

Perhaps of a transitory sort with regards to wealth, but given the way he has been spending his money and lack of a concept of moneys value, i cant see the money lasting in honesty.

Status? Not at all. We still, by and large remain exactly where we started on the social scale. At the bottom, while Thed may feel he has made something of him self, will that feeling really last past the first time he gets snubbed in the street by the servant of a noble, or after the last of the gold drys up and his paid for company dries up?

Thed loves to tell stories and be popular, but after a month, when every one knows the story of the strangled gator, and the drinks stop being on Thed, will anyone still be listening or sharing in a joke or a toast to the queen?

Ascention to the throne of spiders
Well, taking on the role of queen of spiders fits like a glove, sullied only by what the comment that it was as the result of someone elses plans, way to strip all sense of achievement from it shelby ;)

We are currently based out of Elspeths appartment and Eel's end. Soon enough, Eel's end will be perminantly mine, i mean ours, after that dose of dark reaver powder finds its way into the king of spiders drink.

We know that it is achievable, if we could just get the secret of making shiver out of the man, then it would be, not only within our power to do this, but entirely within the nature of the characters. I can understand why you might avoid it with thed, what with his unpredictable nature, but at the end of the day, elspeth is slow, carefull schemer, thanks to her lawful alignment.

There is after all, blood in the water now and leaving the king of spiders alive at our back after what happened last week could prove to be an entirely fatal mistake.

Mmm....scroll of charm person, a hireling casting it or and elixar of love...I don't want to suffer vancasterkins fate, but that last one could be cool.

I guess the biggest question is, should we go in, guns blazing drop everything that moves, stablize him, then charm him or should we finesse the situation, sneakily poison him with an elixar, talk the secrets out of him, then stab him in the back and drop him over board?

Chris, do you see now why i rave about Paizo?

We are, i beleive getting pretty close to the end of the edge of anachy and to be honest i can not imagain us having played it with a group of three colour heros. All of the first adventure that we have played so far seems almost keyed specificially to low lifes. Certainly the clash with lamm and your involement with him would seem to encourage involvement with the underworld.

Mmm...i guess this week comming i really should kill the king of spiders...after all, the Eel's end would make the perfect
base of operations.

Right, back to leveling up elspeth i go. Mmm...a second level of rogue or a second level of cleric

So, we got around to selling a bunch of 'loot', this week, including some of what we found last week at NWM's. This was a catalist for our group to come up with a new term Theddism's, due to the player of thed having been on great form. Here are three which i managed to scribble down.

On finding out how much meat was selling for in the near staving city. 'If i'd have known, I'd have been out mugging shepards.'

On a breif visit to the Bard's end, Thed uttered the immortal lines, 'Oi, come stand just here.' to an elf who does as asked. Theds plaer then says, 'right, i punch him.'

The next morning elspeth asks thed if he is still drunk, as they head home. 'No, I'm just...busy.' he slurs.

It is rather annoying in a way, because in truth, ranger is one of the few classes i really can't see gelling with the group. The crazy half orc, althought on occations problematic did fit with the party to some degree or another. Not to mention the fact that his magic powers made him an unknown quantity in the group. I think we would have slight feared and respected him with time. Ofcause Ranger/fighter, may just be the classes he is using to represent some other concept, though we have been given little to no infomation on what he will be playing.

I have to agree with Theds posts, i cant see it being that easy for a new character at this time.

And as for a new leader? Over my cold dead body!
