Just thought i'd mention a player of mine called Dave. Dave is a VERY inventive individual. He played a character called Lassiter who was an elf from another world. A fighter pilot by trade, he came to Greyhawk many years ago and ended up near Cauldron. All through the campaign he has regailed his companions with tales of 'the coming war', which refers incidently to a githyanki invasion that i plan to happen eventualy. Lassiter is a survivor from a previous invasion of his home world. Lassiter has been very inventive throughout the campaign, the highlight being him trying to strike a deal with some drow they met to provide him with giant spider carcasses so that he could create mobile spider tanks for himself and his colleagues. At one point he wanted to drain the caldera lake of Cauldron and turn it into a huge spider farm but shelved this when i mentioned how deep the lake was. He has had an ongoing projest to create a flying machine called a flit which works in a primitive way and has amazed his companions. Both Lassiter and the rest of the group have befriended a mimic called Bob who now serves as a valuable henchman and mobile disposal unit. And lets not forget Daves other pc, the wizard Lum, possibly the laziest man alive. At various points in the campaign he has volunteered himself as a test subject for novice wizards to use as a practice target for their sleep spells. So to Lassiter, Lum, Drinnin the Bruce Lee of monks, Bannor the paladin no one loves, Galdar the uptight cleric of St Cuth and Corian who got them all into this mess in the first place i say STOP IT! I can't take any more!!
Just kidding. Thanks to Dave, Doug and Dan. You make it all worthwile and so much fun. Lets hope for more in the Age Of Worms.
