Actually it would be around 9 pm for Shoruke. Which is reasonable if Shoruke's homework doesn't kill this possibility.

[Shoruke]

Do you ever have one of those days, where you're just trying to wind down from all the university by playing Disgaea, and then you go "oh yeesh I have D&D in 40 minutes and I haven't eaten in like 6 hours"? Because I seem to be having one of those days.

Game is in 35 minutes.
...Theoretically.

EDIT: Server is up. At least I think it is. My router had a bizarre mix of sudden-onset emo and a Near-Death-Experience-Induced identity crisis, so I'm not 100% sure the configuration is right. Someone try and join and tell me if it works.

[Shoruke]

Stihe, Vaba, and Raspul get their 500 journal exp.
Easiest journal exp calculation ever.

[RedWarrior0]

No, easiest calculation was when we did it by ourselves.

[The Fool]

I have a sneaking suspicion that I won't be attending any D&D sessions for a while. I have a string of labs to prep for, and math is getting difficult (differential equations are not my friends). I'll have to update Anderson when I get back. I'll write that in as if it were a one-shot partnership with the library for now (he might even have his own timeline when he gets back). Hopefully homework gets lighter so I can spend the time for D&D again.

EDIT: I'll follow this campaign anyways. Good luck.

[Shoruke]

Do you know what is kinda painful? I finally got to do some decent expositing in this session, and now the game might have to go on hiatus soon. *siiiiigh*

I console myself that the plot-ness of the session was reasonable. Moral dilemmas, and decisions that affect how the NPCs will do things when you leave, abound. Also I scared the crap out of Red with a volcano. Always a plus.

Well, stay tuned. I'll see what I can do about having a session next Saturday. I think I'll be able to.

[Shoruke]

Everyone who participated in today session gets 200 roleplaying experience.

So that's Stihe, Mael, Myst, Ethan, Vaba, and Raspul.
Especially Raspul. Nothing says roleplaying like paying money to get tortured to death and back because of spoilers.

Dozens of variables have granted me their boundless power, and now I can do anything! Except for, strangely, rolling zero dice when there is a color rampant.

(-1+CMA(1)d2) dice works fine, it's equal to 0d2. Always 0.
(-1+CMA(2)d2) dice works fine, it's equal to 1d2. 1-2 damage.

(-1+CMA(1)d2) dice DOES NOT WORK, it's equal to 0d2. Maptools can't do that! Crocodiles live in houses! Hill giants scoop ropes into or from time itself!
(-1+CMA(2)d2) dice works fine, it's equal to 1d2. 1-2 damage. And it's red. Representing bleeding damage. Woo!

[RAM]

I use Eval for variable dice, no idea if colours affect it...

[Heron TSG]

I was going to use it, but I don't think eval-stacking is too friendly. It might work...

[RAM]

Well now I will have to try [eval("eval("eval("1d20")")")]...

[Heron TSG]

Game on?

Raspul is dead, or close to it. Undead, really. Apparently he asked the priests of Boccob to torture him beyond death so that he could live forever as a dessicated corpse. I personally don't mind the undead too much, so long as they aren't trying to kill everyone. Raspul's goals seem quite a bit saner than that - he wants to learn all the magic there is to learn. I haven't asked him what deity, if any, he follows, but I suspect it might be Boccob. They both have the same goal, at least. And perhaps he could be a suitable candidate for the Staff of Boccob, though I'll need to doublecheck his moral character. I don't want to go down in history as the stupid orc who gave a lich a staff of such power.

*Hoping shoruke has good news for us and can continue with this campaign*

It is done. I have achieved that which they called me mad for. Immortality is in my grasp, and it shall stay there for eternity. The process has been painfull, but in the the end, it was worth it. The word about my great ritual shall soon spread over the entire world. Soon, we shall usher in a new era of freedom and happiness, all thanks to me.

I now also know that Vaba is but a foolish coward. My thoughts will have to be focused on greater dangers and obstacles, like that mad purple man, or the nearby organisations of foolish worshippers of the likes of Pelor or Heironeous. I will need to make sure to protect myself from them.

Sadly, the purple man may be a much bigger threat than I thought. We payed a visit to the mayor of Eriden today, where a wizard working for him made some research on one of the orbs. It appears that they are powered by souls, and judging by the massive amounts of orbs that appear to be under this city, we might be fighting against a terribly powerful necromancer here. I still remember my father telling me about how difficult it is to work with souls. If his descriptions were accurate, and I am sure they were, then the purple man has powers beyond what we can imagine.

Still, the orbs will be reasearched upon by several organisations. One of them being the local church of Boccob. Maybe I can collect in a favor from these people. I think I can still save the soul in the orb they send to them. After all, I have already beaten death once. I will help that poor man. Soon, people shall see the splendor of my work.

[Shoruke]

Yeah, game is in an hour, roughly.

Not looking good for next week though. You know how sometimes in university, you get those awesome weeks with very little to do, followed by EVERYTHING DUE AT ONCE AAAAHHH

That's.... kinda happening over here.

My departed sister,

You would be appalled to know, Raspul (the necromancer) has somehow managed to turn himself undead. Alas, some are beyond reason. I heard it was a torturous event; I worry that the damage may have been to his soul as much as to his body. And it is strange that he should choose the clerics of Boccob, who care nothing for what he does, rather than those of Wee Jas, who are likely already familiar with this ritual.

After that, we went to the mayor of Eriden; a wizard was brought in to analyze, and we heard tragic news. The orb, it seems, is made from a soul. Fortunately, we know the means of destroying them; one will be sent to the mages at Sandsedge for investigation, one to Sandsedge for the clerics of the Platinum Dragon, one to Eriden's church of Boccob, and one to the clerics of Wee Jas, whose studies of necromancy may have insights into soul magic; it is no coincidence that wise Bahamut is the only good god whose followers we send a stone, for the servants of Pelor or Heironious would value action over thought and simply destroy the stones. Further, the might of the dragonkind may be the force needed to make a counterstrike, and the stone itself would show them the atrocities these underworld beings are making. While shattering these prisons for the souls would be good, sacrifices must be made; the gods will give them their fair due when our knowledge is complete and we shatter the prisons.

As we do this, I feel colder than ever before; it permeates my entire being now, and I find no solace. It is a blizzard in my soul, eternal, and so cold the air itself freezes. It feels though a trip to the place where all is fire would do naught but still the winds a little.

Note: Ethan is probably going to undergo an alignment shift from NG to plain N in the near future; he is becoming "cold" both physically and psychologically.

Note 2: Tome of Artifacts (Necromancer Games) has some really cool artifacts in it. I must say, the King's Pepper Grinder is a somewhat funny one, Una's Shield and the Lucky Coin (both from Rich Burlew) are rather interesting both in fluff and crunch, and the World Tree is just plain awesome.
