How do you want me to handle this? I was thinking of maybe having a single henchman and a few mercenary fighter type hirelings.Bhart wrote:Absolutely! It wouldn't be AD&D without them.gray mouser wrote:Finally finished my cleric and have him waiting for DM approval.

); if I have established a church/temple/whatever; I would have 20+ followers.

While I certainly don't want to worry about tens/dozens of followers; could I just say I had a junior Cleric or two accompany me on the quest? If not; no biggie!
I'll have a chat with Ron and get back to you when we decide.gray mouser wrote:How do you want me to handle this?

My God! We are working for Overking Invid the 5th? THE Invid the 5th? The would-be BATSHIT INSANE, demon-dealing, genocidal maniac Invid V?!Bhart wrote:Each of you has received a summons from Ecrub'll Edro the vizier of the Overking Ivid V.

It's a typo. Should be Ivid IV, he's still batshit crazy but not quite as bad as his son. There was no official timing for S1 so I chose to set it around 530cy. Ivid V has not even been born at this point and the 4th has not been in power long.Vargr1105 wrote:My God! We are working for Overking Invid the 5th? THE Invid the 5th?

And we're doing this mission to save the guy's life? Aw man, our souls are forfeit even if we succeed.
That is...unless this is an alternate Greyhawk timeline that does away with them nasty Greyhawk Wars. What year is it by the way?
A fighter of 10th level has a THAC0 of 12.Vargr1105 wrote:Whoa...months of playing and running games like this and I still feel like an initiate sometimes. Easy to learn, hard to master I guess.
I believe I have screwed up Halbrad's attack tables. Can the GM confirm what is the unadulterated THACO for a 10th level Fighter in AD&D1e?
Also, what happens when the weapon tables start going into zero and negatives?
Freaking awesome! Worthy of a movie scene!Bhart wrote:Fosco leaps back and turns to run for it, but the halfling stumbles and falls on his face. He scrambles back to his feet and sprints with unnatural speed provided by his magic boots. The moving block is more than halfway across the hall at this point and accelerating. Things look grim for the little thief.
Halbrad make no effort to run and moves to the door and kicks it in. Meanwhile Mason frantically reaches into his bag of holding and hauls forth a chest. He fumbles with the latch and finally throws the lid open and starts searching for the metal wedges. While the monk is delayed Elsa rushes forward with spikes in hand while Zoster begins his long and complex spell. Elsa skids to a stop as she realizes she'll never make it in time. The massive stone block slams into the handful of large rocks that Xale and Mason had tossed against the wall. They hold it at bay for the moment leaving a narrow gap.
This buys Fosco just enough time to scurry through the narrow space between the west wall and the massive stone block. He's about half way through when he hears a cracking sound as some of the rocks begin to crumble under the relentless pressure. The halfling's life flashes before his eyes as the stone block moves again and pushes him against the east wall. Fosco is pinned and can't move, he hears more rocks beginning to crack and the the stone wall presses on him even more squeezing the breath from him and squashing his nose.
Long moments pass, he closes his eyes waiting to be crushed to death but suddenly there is a flash and a loud BLORP! Fosco is buried in a wave of mud as Zoster completes his rock to mud spell just in time.
I second that.Vargr1105 wrote: Freaking awesome! Worthy of a movie scene!
I think we need an OOC thread.
