Dying well: grabbing the princess after she betrayed us and went evil, only to be Hold Personed by my wife. I then teleported me and said princess (and the MacGuffin Ring she was wearing) into the No Saving Throw portal, which ended up destroying the undead sun that was battening on other suns. I even got to tell the evil prince (also Hold Person) in the Elvish he didn’t know I knew* that this was what happens when you break your word. A very satisfying way to end the campaign.

It’s a surprisingly hard question. Basically, we’re doing Spelljammer, so I can either bump up my existing character (half-orc NG cleric of Tyr) to fifth level, or start a new character. If I play a new character, it will absolutely be a giff with mirrorshades, a long leather coat, and as many firearms as I can carry*. On the other hand, my cleric is in the habit of trying to tell the good news of Tyr to every entity that can talk back, and it’s been working surprisingly well so far (it’s also funny).

So I’m stuck: cool old character, or cool new character. Thoughts? Note that fifth level is where my cleric can start getting access to third level spells and just vaporize weak enough Undead, which is nice.

*Giff are large humanoids with hippo heads and advantage on Strength checks, so they can carry a lot of guns.

There was a drow, and giant spiders, and then I decided that a giant spider was the hitherto-undefined monster that made my flesh go cold and terrified me in a previous encounter (as per my background), and then I decided that the way half-orc Neutral Good priestesses of Tyr handle being terrified is to recklessly run towards the Bad Thing screaming while casting Divine Weapon (I try not to actually use spell slots unless I have to, or when giant spiders, I guess), and the DM had forgotten that the warlock had looted a scroll of Fireball, and then the DM had forgotten that I had a point of Inspiration which I then used to tell the warlock casting Fireball to read the scroll right. After that the fireball went off. Beautifully, so beautifully, killing all of the spiders except for the one that ran away, and after the thief backstabbed that one to death I kept hitting the corpse with both swords until it stopped being funny.

So, right now, I’m kind of creatively drained.

(Via GeekTyrant) We’re almost certainly going to be doing Spelljammer after this adventure is over, but maybe we can get this D&D adventure in, first!

Pumpkin Spice, Not So Nice

“It has been said that if one utters the words ‘pumpkin spice’ thrice while staring intently upon a reflective surface, a light-hued female will appear and droll on incessantly about her favorite things concerning fall.” –Anonymous

A chilly autumn night at the tavern. The insatiable thirst for Pumpkin Spice. Overly used seasonal tropes. Will you find only tricks, or also some treats?

…Yes, I am fully aware that the DM will tell me, “Not just ‘no,'” and then maybe come over to my house, just to throw something at me. Still: worth it.

Online campaign. They need a healer, and/or a fighter. Half-orc neutral good cleric with the Soldier background sounds about right*.

*Any similarity between this character and Father Mike from FROZEN DREAMS is completely not coincidental. I’d prefer full orc, really, but it apparently won’t quite work in this campaign. Which is cool.
