Armor is expected :-)
This usually means incoming troubles :(
You know, i'm afraid i'm going to inflict a TPK on my players, what troubles me the most is the fact my char is amongst them as well
lol, TPK by means of what?
Monster?

Drow...and there are two surface elves women in group
eek drow :-)
You really fear you could kill 'em all? I suppose this would end your campaign?

Not really, they are quite high on stats, and i'm not using too hard CRs
But drows don't play fair.Anyway i think they'll roll new PCs if the y die (hope not of course)

But now that i think of it, how do you handle things like these? I usually run encounters like they are intended to, in this case the drow cultists are there for a reason, and the story is such that the PC went there to check on this cult, and only once they were there they saw the cultists were drows....so it is perfectly normal in this case that PCs face them. And as such i run the drow like they should be...but i surely won't force events so that the PC are caught and the drows get some fun with the two elven girls. Things aren't getting easy for the players, but they can do it.
Yeah, its kinda cheesy when the PCs always can escape. Usually I try to embed an logical last straw. Like for your example:
Maybe there is a very ambitious priest in this cult who tries to usurp against the highpriest. He might free the PCs to undermine the power of the cult leader or use them against some groups in the cult or he frees them so they can help him to escape, too.
Something like that.

Well, maybe said from someone who is single from a lifetime it isn't very cheering, but i too hope it'll go better for you
Ouch, sorry to hear about that, but I feel you brother! (I am in fact quite drunk as I type this, in light of the anniversary of the end of my first love). In any case, I really hope things work out for you.
strange, but it seems we lost Celina, Kahir and Teris during the last days. is something wrong with the adventure?
It isn't even started yet, so i cannot tell
I hope its not some kind of misgibings that we lost 3 players :-/

I'm not gone! I'm just usually not around on the weekends. And Christmas is a busy time in retail, so lots of extra shifts. And my internet service has been rather unreliable for the past few days - sorry about that.
Let me catch up, and I'll get a post in shortly.
Also, a quick heads up: On Jan 4th, I will be switching ISPs, and won't be back online until the 6th at the earliest. I'll try and get to an internet cafe or something so I can post during this time, but I can't promise anything.
Oh that's good news :-)
I was wondering if I might be able to solicit some roleplaying advice? I decided to give the "naive young sorcerer" trope a go, but I've never really played a character like Randovich before, and I could use a few pointers on how I could keep him naive and a bit shy without him becoming a wallflower. He's also more direct than the PCs I usually play, but I also want to avoid falling into the cliche of having my starry-eyed youth shout out "to the rescue!" and charge off every time a hook drops. I'm trying to set him up so he can develop in several directions (I think he's becoming a little hardened and embittered, much thanks to Drayen's machinations). Any ideas?
Yup I also think Celina could help him finding his "destiny", if she can't maybe one of her soon to be raltives in Kaer Maga can. On the other hand-Alexites way is very tempting :-)

Funnily enough, Alexite wants Randovich to learn to control his powers just as much as Celina. When he said ask Celina about her brother being happy and joyful, that should have come across as heavy sarcasm. It's very hard to get that across in text. He really did want you to ask her so you could hear about how he suffers internally.
Where Celina and Alexite differ is in their attitudes towards life. Alexite is going to be tempting Randovich to express himself and live life to the fullest, exploring the bounds of society and his own conscience.
I think you're doing fine. Just keep going as you have been.

And what she'll never tell you is that her brother is as happy as can be. Once he accepted his powers. She won't tell you that he is currently a formidable sorcerer.
She wants Randovich to feel free, and knows if she can teach him to control his powers, he'll stop being afraid of them, and come to accept them.
She has a plan. ;)
oh dear, a woman with a plan :-)
Maybe i'm being paranoid, but so far all the men Esfana encountered had a weird gaze....like they are stripping her of every bits of clothes with their eyes.Talking of the NPCs of course
oh yes, thats really paranoid-Britten was really just happy to see a young lively iomedite. Thinking about women in the particular manner you were talking about only aches in his back...
Fidarsi è bene, non fidarsi è meglio
To trust is good,not to trust is better
I got the same impression. He was laying it on thicker than Lovecraft.

Not to fear, Gandal. I assure you Alexite was mentally stripping Esfana with his gaze at the inn and again on the road. This way you shouldn't feel like the PC aren't giving you the same attention. Then again, he was doing the same thing with every other party member, so take it for what it's worth. =P
I can always consider changing alignment. CE for example
Your campaign sounds really epic. Totally reminds me of Forgotten Realms somehow. How did your group fare with the drow?
Merry Xmas to all of you.
+1 :-)
Kaer Maga offers possibilities til lvl 20 I think. I'll just go on as long as people enjoy it.
Merry Christmas from a snowy white Germany
And from a rainy , grey and cold Italy
Just wanted to give you all a heads up that I'm going on a holiday retreat, and will be without internet for a couple days. I'll be back again on Wednesday!

I finally had a day off yesterday and took the day away from everything. I think this was the only one of the four pbp I'm in on these boards that posted since the 23rd. I would have been interested in going to the Shelyn temple, but another time is fine. I don't have anything to add in character at this time. I also do not have anything I need to do before heading to the wizard's shop in the Ankar-Te district.
I feel honoured to read this :-) holiday season's just a hard time for PBPs I think.
Just as i thought, Hard disk died :(
I'm without PC for some time...will make you know something asap
argh, that's bad news, I keep my fingers crossed fo a fast repair.
