Lucan's post is up. This dragon thing is going to be trouble, I think.

You know, in a way, Lucan's character arc could be described as a slow descent into insanity. First it's just Lucan, then he starts asking about the Lings, then he develops a second personality with Lena, then a third with Yuri, now a fourth...

I'm worried that Lucan's ED will culminate in a small padded room.

[DSCrankshaw]

Maybe he'll be like John Crichton of Farscape, and go so crazy that he comes out the other side.

[Toric]

Okay, character's done. Same sheet as before.

[DSCrankshaw]

Speaking of crazy, the last part of my story went up a week ago, at Black Gate. What does that have to do with crazy? You'll have to read to find out.

[Nai_Calus]

Eltain is depressed, yes. Sad paladin is sad and probably needs a hug.

On less sad fronts, there is finally actual art of Eltain, done by Brian Patterson of d20monkey: http://www.iankunx.net/eltain_sharma1.jpg

Cool image. In the pic he's looking pretty down too. Let's see if Pavick can help his mood a little. There's been at least one notable case where it hasn't worked, maybe this time he's found something that will work...

In my head, Pavick is going to start singing songs like this to Eltain.

Well, he hasn't gone off to cry by himself yet so it's working better this time. ;) Of course he's also older and a little more mature. He's also massively depressed, filled with self-loathing and convinced the multiverse would be better off without him at the moment, granted.

[Mando Knight]

I'm working on a post, but it's difficult. I am debating whether or not Aramil should try to talk Mr. Suicidally-depressed out of his line of thought.

[Hzurr]

Heh, now I suspect that everytime I delay, Orsik will introduce a new NPC.

I am in the middle of typing up an IC post, but I keep on erasing it and starting again because I decide I hate what my original idea was. I think I finally know where I want to go, though, so there should be one soon.

[Orsik Vondal]

I just thought that since it's getting toward Christmas time, there should be a Christmas reference. A rotund, bearded magical guy that has access to many magical toys, and gives them out to people. Ash likes meeting new people. And I personally like giving DMs story fodder.

[DSCrankshaw]

Hmm, what do you say to a god? I'm not sure that Lucan has a clue.

[Orsik Vondal]

Ash is a pretty good speaker. So will go. He can step in all the poo, so you guys don't have to.

[Nai_Calus]

Eltain's better suited for this one once he pulls himself together. We are talking to his god, after all.

[Nai_Calus]

Eltain didn't delay, I just haven't been home today to be able to post.

[Hzurr]

Geez...I really struggle writing about gods. I mean...how do you describe a god? Actually, for the rest of epic tier, a good rule will be to take what I describe, multiply it by 20Awesome, and you'll get what I have in my head, because I don't think my narrative capabilities can keep up with what I want to say.

[Orsik Vondal]

Just FYI: one of Ash's languages he picked up was drow sign language. That could lend itself to some interesting solutions.

Fun Fact: All DSL pronouns involving males are preceded with flipping someone off.

The more you knoooooowwwww!

[Mando Knight]

You realize, of course, that the only way the Archdukes could be any Starscream-ier would be if they could transform into F-16s or throw Asmodeus out of a space train.

[DSCrankshaw]

So . . . on with the quest, then!

But aren't we still missing the means to free Tiandra?

That does present a problem if you want to try that. However, trying to steal the wand of the Prince of Frost could also be a problem.

Really, you've got two very bad choices. But hey, still a choice =)

[Orsik Vondal]

To free Tiandra we would need some special item, right? And to steal the Prince's wand we would need to break into his palace? Or is it somewhere besides in his immediate vicinity? If it's near him, I says we go for the Prince and kill two birds with one stone.

You probably didn't go back and read the event wherein Tiandra was frozen... the point of the trek into the Chaos was to shut off that power without directly confronting the one using it.

[Orsik Vondal]

So we could use the Prince's wand to free Tiandra or shut off its power source in the EC? Gotcha. EC should be easier.

[dariathalon]

I think I've finally gotten Pavick transferred over to a new sheet for epic levels. Here's what I've got down. You may want to change the link above, Hzurr.

[Orsik Vondal]

I feel like our characters should have a feast before we set out. Thanking the gods for all they have blessed us with so far in our journey.

[Hzurr]

You can have a feast, but you'll need to find and kill a dire turkey.

History DC 35

Spoiler

Dire turkeys roam the Astral plane destroying anything in their path. They are the purest conduits of the Eldritch horrors of the far realms."

On a side note, sorry about not posting the last couple of days. Holidays and all that silliness. I'll have an update late tonight.
