Help! I'm rolling 20s with my brain!
Feb. 20th, 2008 08:51 amLast few weeks I have been taking part in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
almosthonest's D and D game. It's a nice change to just turn up on the night without have sat down worrying about plot, stats and who's got who on their current hit list. The game is set in a country which has an encrouching magical force that is slowly currupting the land. It is held back by a wall, but ever so slowly it is winning. We are a group of wall-rangers, sent out into the spill beyond the wall to do missions to help civilisation push back the wilderness. Currently we are looking for a tower and a crystal to help make purple lightening.
My charecter is Leo the paladin. He's strong, pretty and not terribly bright. He has a very set world-view and tends to blind himself with his own self-righteousness, rather than convincing anyone else. I think the party must think he's a bit of a liability, given the environment we're in.
On monday's session Leo was not having a good day. I think it was because I managed to roll all my intelligence checks was natural twenties. Thinking hard is obviously painful. First problem came when we found some giant centepedes. Critical fumble and managed throgh my sword about 30 foot away. Even worse, Adrian's wolf companion was nearby, saw something go flying and decided to go fetch, taking him out of the fight too. It was a good thing he didn't drop the sword on his foot, because he can do enough damage in a round to knock himself out.
A bit later, we found the tower adn Leo was introduced to zombies. Apparently the best weapon against zombies isn't a sword, but some blinding cleric-light, which Leo can't do. He doesn't think this is fair. After that, we continued on and suddenly all the lights went out (or, more precisely, we walked into an area of magical darkness.) There was an octopus thing, which we couldn't see, because no one could get rid of the darkness. Leo managed to kill it though blind luck and sword swinging. It wasn't all plain sailing though:
*clang as Leo hits a wall with his sword*
Vorandil: "Did you through your sword away again Leo?"
Leo: "We shall never speak of that again!"
After that, there were more zombies, which again didn't die when you plunged a sword into them, and eventually we found the stairs to the next level. Before we could get to the stairs, we had to kill a tenticled garbage monster, which managed to grab Leo, sqeeze all the breath out of him, bang him against the floor and leave him bleeding in a heap. One healing spell later, and Leo is ready to start the next level with all of two hit points :)
In non D&D related news, I have sewn on Kirara's tails, so that costume is finished. Just need to finish off Marchello, and dye my hair again.
