Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Still on Episode 3. If I can finish Episode 3 before Diki starts posting Episode 6, I can read the summary and be fairly caught up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sorry, ADoS. You'll probably catch up before too long, though. I'm tentatively planning for Chapter 2 to be out sometime late next week. Anyway, here is Chapter 1: Caught Up In It All. It has a couple of new faces in it. I also stuck up an appearances page for now, but I'm thinking about doing something different with it. It wasn't particularly useful to me and it certainly can't have been very useful to you as I hardly bothered to update it. I'll almost certainly have a separate page for real Spiderwebbers and fictional characters this time around. Other than that, I'm open to suggestions. Dikiyoba is excited for this again. It'll be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Much better start for the episode. You are going back to the important characters. I see we are slowly catching up to current events. Almost in time for Avernum 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 There were a few such anachronisms in the last chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Yes, Episode 6 is going to be heavily anachronistic. I'm not entirely happy about it, but I decided that it would be a more interesting story this way. Plus, there would still be chronological errors even if I tried to avoid them--old gimmicks tend to hang around in the story a lot longer than they do on the boards, for instance. --- Originally Posted By: Ephesos Also, apparently I need to re-read most of Episode 5, because I have no idea where I am right now. Originally Posted By: The Ratt I am also wondering, is the group of people that went to KoL+ the slave group back yet? Long story short: Ephesos, you were kidnapped, enslaved, saddled with an anti-magic spell, and are now at the (generic and mostly irrelevant) Mage Guild (thanks to the Ratt) to get it removed along with all the other slaves. The KoL group is back at Spiderweb now. Long story shorter: Read the freaking summary. --- Originally Posted By: Neossokrass Or Neo, if you musst. Dikiyoba changed it to the full version. You are most certainly not getting called Neo. It's bad enough that Student of Trinity runs about in Dikiyoba's imagination in a billowing lab coat and an endless supply of fourth wall breaking remarks in a quest to better understand the workings of the universe.

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Heh. Not bad. I'm pretty interested in the foreshadowing you implied with the confrontation between Tullegolar and Neo. You almost want me to continue my story. If I didn't suck so much. The Last Archon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 It depends. If you're reading them quickly, you can probably read them all before Dikiyoba puts up more than a few chapters. If you're reading them at a more leisurely pace or want to start Episode 6 as soon as possible, you'll probably want to read the summary of Episodes 4 and 5 rather than the full stories.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It's supposed to be Deth Ray as shown in an earlier episode. You are part of ET's fawning minions showing excitement over his plans. Dikiyoba - I really don't like the direction this is going for my character.

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 No, Deth Ray is correct. I think it can be considered a proper noun, being the machine's name rather than an exact description of its function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Jeran Korak Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I would like to note here that I now wield Carsomyr +6, detailed here. Quote: The Holy Avenger: Carsomyr Carsomyr is a weapon of legend, perhaps one of the most powerful blades ever forged on Faerun, though its origin and history is thought purposefully forgotten, such that the sword itself never overshadow the importance of the struggles that must be fought today. It is infused with the very essence of virtue, and requires as much from any paladin that would hope to wield it. The evils of the Realms must truly stand aside when this weapon is brought to bear, their magic dispelled with a word, steadfastly resisted with ease. Carsomyr also harbors a special distaste for the forces of evil and chaos, and such creatures must fear additional damage from its touch in battle. STATISTICS Equipped Abilities: 50% Magic Resistance Dispel magic 3 times per day Combat Abilities: +6 damage to chaotic evil opponents in addition to other bonuses. Dispels magic whenever the sword strikes an opponent THAC0: +6 bonus Damage: 1D12 +6 Damage type: slashing Weight: 6 Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Two handed sword Type: 2-handed Requires: 14 Strength Usable By: Paladins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Sleeping Dragon Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 You speak of bloodletting and chaos, yet the description of the sword you quoted clearly states that it can only be wielded by the virtuous.

I was wrong. There's a difference. I was being melodramatic, I'm sorry if you took it a way I didn't intend. And technically, any weapon can be wielded by anyone so long as they make the right use magic device check. Some weapons are simply powerful enough to do some truly horrible things to you if you wield them in this fashion, but openly abuse their ego and alignment sheets, then fail your will save. This is why an amulet of will +8 is such a useful item. That said, to such weapons you can slaughter and butcher as much as you like, provided your enemies are the sentient weapons enemies (or any enemies at all, in the case of most sentient evil swords).

The building was an ancient message board, so old even the spambots had given up targeting it. Illegible old threads and spam littered the floor, half-hidden by a thick layer of dust. Randomizer tested the ropes that bound his wrists and ankles to see if he could get free. "No such luck. Of course. Hello? Can anyone hear me?!" Despite calling out for several minutes, there was no response. Randomizer realized he was alone. "Hmmph. Figures." Quite funny.
