Not much to say at all. Thinking a bit about game, and the fact that I don't currently have one. Sigh. I really miss the in jokes, the rattle of dice on the table, the laughter, and most of all the really great stories that were built together. I miss you guys!!!!! And my characters, some of whom will show up in other blogs, but here I'll reference Lina Thorndale, halfling ranger and Khelendra Seasweeper, human pirate.
Notably:
"Thud, you need a bath." (Thud is a half-orc barbarian and the reason my characters always carry soap)
"Hey, Bony Face." (directed at Szass Tam himself, boy were we lucky not to get zapped into ash)
The rogue was our moral compass.
The barabarian was our diplomat.
Lina traveled with PC's nicknamed General Confusion, Captain Chaos, and the Evil Mage.
"Short woman, sharp pointy object." (Lina has quite a temper.)
"But it was such a lovely party." (Through the cursed looking glass)
"No you may NOT have alchemist's fire!" (after Capt. Chaos had yet another fire-related incident)
"Stupid, tall , male, pointy-eared FREAKS!" (the reason most of my characters really dislike elves were the elves in the first party I ever adventured with)
The time the docks in Skullport almost burned due to one of the elves ranted about in the previous line. Lina's distraction would have worked much better.
Coming late to game to be faced with "You're in chains in the throne room at Silvery Moon. You've been arrested because one of your party members fireballed the high forest." (And said party member was an elf. From Silvery Moon.)
Lina jumping up on a table in a tavern and throwing a punch at Baelifan. Damned elf had interfered in her love life one too many times. Later, Thud tossed him a horse trough & the elf nearly drowned. (His lute was water damamged and since Lina felt guilty about it, my characters now carry water-proofing.)
Losing six of four plot-line characters. (Don't ask)
The mix-up about Khelendra and the slave-trafficking incident.
Khel getting hit in the BACK-SIDE with an arrow by friendly fire.
Khel later killing the party member who had shot her in the ass. (THAT was satisfying, but costly & horrific. Khel still has nightmares.) Never mind that there was a spell involved.
Lars & Sven. Khel may mention them at some point, but it isn't my story to tell.
"Let's attack the mindflayer!" (Lina had enough sense to step back into the alcove and push the button to escape.)
On entering a tavern "I identify all the exits and identify the most attractive non-party members in the room." (Khel has quite the wandering eye.)
There was lots more, too. But I think that's enough self-pity for one night. Some of these stories may end up in more expanded form in future blogs. Thanks for letting me ramble.
