Hey, at least one of those enemies made their saving throw to grab onto the deck rail. That said, Lulu The Biomanced Squid still ate well that night.

Post the days/times that don't work for you.

I can't do tomorrow, but otherwise my schedule is pretty open for a game at this time. Sunday would be a problem if we gamed earlier in the day, unless it was like at 6:00 pacific instead of 7:00.

Good session last night, although I have discarded everything I thought I knew about epic tier game balance. Adding another 0 to every stat on next week's encounters.

Speaking of our next session, I'm free every day (including all weekend) except every Thursday night and next Wednesday night (D&D on Valentine's Day would not fly). Although if we have game Friday night you'll have to put up with me livestreaming the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies. I love me some sports pomp & circumstance.

Having slogged through the digestive system and held their breath through the respiratory system, there are so many options to choose from for what biomanced horrors await the Stormbringers. Perhaps the rush of the endocrine system, or a log flume through the nephritic pipes of the kidneys! The only limits are our imagination and willingness to brave the anatomy section of Wikipedia. Continue your biopsy tonight Tuesday, February 20th, at 7 PM PST.

Cool! Also for once I'm giving an early warning. Due to the importance of a work project I alas will be unable to stay up next week so late. Gotta do constant meetings with offshore lads which means I get to wake up super early while they get to work super late! Yay!

I'm really serious about how much it meant to me to have Haddin just ganged up and stomped on. I originally wanted the killing blow, but now I prefer what happened. Everyone got together as a team, put the boots on, and Capmor ended him with 3 crits before he could act. This time, the group stood with me.

I am happy with results, some could even say it went just according to keikaku

also lookin at 29 powers and we got some monster stances to choose from

We got the defensive option


or the Offensive Option


Both are cool rear end stances and I'm leaning towards offensive as we usually end up playing rocket tag with the enemies dead early on.

Also I think I forgot to select a 28 feat. I'd like Heartening Exploit w/ Brutal Setup

...gently caress it. You're fighting Orcus now, all the time. Orcus minions, Orcus elites, Orcus solos who can spawn copies of Tiamat as off-round minor actions. I love epic tier.

Orcus was notorious for being reliably one shot by an un-erratad ranger.

Edit: Take it from a guy who plays ruthless controllers: killing fast is more fun than making the monsters ineffective.

Given the absences (Cerepol leaving early, Herr Tog arriving late, no TheDemon) I'm cancelling game this week. We'll resume next week with the conclusion of the current expedition, a little level up and shopping, and then directly into the final adventure of the campaign!

I'll let you all know when we've started disc 4. It's at least one extended rest away.

Well after you wrap around from level 30 to level 1, the Astral Sea might be a tough nut to crack but I'm sure you'll find a way.

"While I appreciate your persistence in the matter and your desire to provide as complete an accounting as possible, consider this my third and final refusal of your request. Over the course of compiling this history I have spoken to hundreds of survivors of the War of the Burning Sky, and despite the willingness of many to tell their stories there were some who could not do it. The War brought violence, grief, and misery into the lives of many - for them the best way to heal is put it in the past and move on. I have told my own story as best I could, but even for me there are some things that will be kept private.

What happened personally that day, in the heart of the Tempest, is something I will not commit to posterity. Even years later it is still too raw and too heartbreaking. Those who were there know what happened, and those who were not do not need to. You will have to trust me when I say that the story of the Tempest continues on adequately in other places and from other storytellers. I know that my personal history was a factor in being granted the permission of the Lyceum to write this book - if it was conditional upon telling that particular tale then you can send assistants to pick up my notes at any time. I estimate no more than three of Tenser's Floating Discs will be adequate to hold the files.

Otherwise, I maintain that the work stands on its own. Any historian must, for various reasons, edit the raw material for various reasons including respect for the people who lived it. I ask that you respect me, and the memory of all those who lived and died onboard the Tempest."

- Professor Kristin Highhill, letter to the Dean of History


The future of the Tempest, Kristin's family, and perhaps the war itself will be written tonight Tuesday, March 6th, at 7 PM PST. Assuming my hard drive lives that long. Backup early and backup often.
