The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

18 March 2009-

The assembled team is an odd one- Bruce's elven paladin Killiean, eBill's human paladin Caranth, Jeff's elven sun-priest Lathan, eMichael's ellyllon mage Azyl, Brian's half-ogre warrior Wise One, and Kevin's reptile man warrior Ghazi- but if we can't kill it, it's time to nuke it from orbit!

We agreed to the rather strange procedure of having pins (meaning large metal bolts and matching bracers) shoved through our forearms to help us perceive the demi-plane of ash in ways that our brains would understand, then off we went to seek the Fortress of the Entropy Lord- there to destroy the "Vital Cord," whatever that is. As usual for such missions, we don't know where the fortress is, and don't know what the target is or what it looks like- but with this group, we might well destroy it by accident, along with half the demi-plane.

Once to the demi-plane, we saw what appeared to be a half-buried colossus of some sort in the distance, and we headed for it as the only obvious landmark. We were barely underway when we were jumped by some dopplegangers, who took the forms of our respective fathers. Luckily, most of us gave in to our Oedipal urges and murdered the buggers, who seem to be sensetive to light. How lucky that our sun-priest has come along! Anyway, the first opposition group is down and out, with us little the wiser but ready to continue. We'll see what develops next week.
