Currently playing blood for blood, and last night the players were taking on the remainding Stroons after they had done a scry-napping of the Baron while he was sleeping, killing the annoying dog and saving Lord Numesti while at it, due to the most absurdly lucky teleport-mishap in my 17 year career as a GM. Cue Baroness Pavetta's take-over, after she has Imeckus kidnap the PCs kids as ransom to make their cleric cast Raise Dead on her precious dog, Jewel.
As one might expect, the PCs didn't take kindly to having their offspring kidnapped over a dog, and the next couple of days, they learned of the Baroness' birthday/take-over party, infiltrating the newly renamed Fort Stroon, using Phase Door to get through the outer walls, and Invisibility to get to the parlor.
Her guests retreated as they realized that there would be blood as she shrieked for the guards to take down the dog-murderers. Imeckus was predicting this, as he started his own scrying, launching spells through an illusory wall. Now comes the most epic turn-over I have seen in a good while, which made me swear to post it and share it will everyone.
The wizard casts a Fear spell, hitting some summoned monsters, the guards, the Baroness (who made her save, appropriately enough), clearing the room for the fighters to move in. Marcus "Face me, monster!!" Muri jumps up on the table, and bull-rushes Baroness Pavetta's giant cake into her face, going "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" and when the Baroness cleared her face he leaned in and added "Sorry I blew out the candles for ya."
LOL!
And thank you for posting that. :-D
