I hate YUKU! I post without the title and it wipes out the post instead of preserving the text and letting me enter the title! BAH, we will soon (next 6 months) change to company boards.

As I wrote already: My favorite original magic item in D&A is the CUP OF DAEMONS that Eric's PC, Othlinden, drank from (ooops!): Chh-Chh-Chh... CHANGES...
(Imitates EGG's most diabolical laugh).

Here at the Green Dragon Inn, I hold my Cup of Daemons up and announce, "By the Fate of Istus and the beard of Zagyg, I drink to Othlinden and Sir Robilar!! ~ Count Rhuvein guzzles the beverage and sputters and coughs a bit . . . he pulls out his hogleg and fires a few rounds into the ceiling, "By Murlynd, I feel naughty" and pinches the ass of the wench who just passes.

Oh, well, then I should tell you. You're likely soon to join me here on my frozen mount. I hope you don't mind the scales of fate as I've experienced them! You might also toast yourself while you have a mind to do so. I'm certainly toasting you....bon voyage!

"scales of fate" - OK.

"scales of snakes and dragons" - Accckkk!

"The fate of Count Rhuvein and his love interest at Jane's Bar" - unknown, but I'll be there soon!

[She does have 3 sisters, though . .

]

Have I mentioned that I can throw a knife/hatchet/shuriken with my left hand while dueling with a rapier in my right ~ with full accuracy!

My Recent Posts · (02/17/09

TOTALLY COOL!

Where'd you get someone to make you a knife/hatchet/shuriken?

I bet it has a lot of really weird lookin' blades!

What do you call it, a Frankfort army knife?

But of course, it's not as weird lookin' as "ewer" gonna be lookin'!

My Recent Posts · (02/17/09

My elvish blades are from Lothlorien.

The hatchet from the dwarves of Moria.

And my ancient shurikens were handmade by the Priests of the Shaolin temples.

* Wink *

Hmm, I've had my throwing knives for years - can't quite recall where I acquired them; probably a specialty or juggling shop. The hatchet was a gift but it looks like something you could get at a hunting/sports/fishing store.

I bought my shuriken at an eBay store, where I've purchased nunchuku and switch blades.

Throwing them is just fantastic fun (heh, my basement wood beams and drywall are riddled with notches). Very nice and accurate . . overhand, backhand or side arm!

[Oh, I do have an army knife somewhere - nasty looking thing - sharp jagged edged with holes in the handle, I guess for better gripping or something]

what exactly happened to Othlinden after drinking from the cup/chalice other than the effects noted in D&A? D&A says the drinking of the chalice "changed the whole playing field for [Othlinden], requiring a total remake of his objectives and direction" and that Othlinden followed this new path, "yet another fanatastic journey, to its ultimate conclusion." So what was the new journey and what was its conclusion?

My Recent Posts · (02/21/09

Ah, good question. Right on the money, Nakoma. You must be psychic!

That is being covered in a soon to be released LGC&C product entitled (working title right now), "Othlinden's Strange Adventure."

I have his original PC sheet from those days (scanned) that is 10 pages, and have been talking about it with him as of recent after printing it out about a week ago. I have also
started re-rendering his tower which he (successfully) defended to the last magic item he had. Heh. Let's say for short that he went through a transformation (along the lines
as noted in drinking from the Cup); and a better question might be, where did he find such an item? Therein lies yet another adventure for the LGC&C line and that one is a big secret as of the moment. So, Eric, keep thy trap shut.

Mercy, Sir Rob, mercy!

I have just received the appetizer, the Fan Appreciation Pack #2, and already you have the desert cart circling with more tasty tidbits. After such a long famine of material to digest, it comes as a bit of a shock to the system. I feel like Scrooge on Christmas morning, "I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy. I am as giddy as a drunken man!"

Who am I kidding? Where's the wine list?

Ciao,

Hehe . . . OK, after reading about the risks when taking a drought of the Cup of Daemons, methinks I'll pass!!

But I hope one of my foolish PCs might be willing to take a drink!

Nice.

I look forward to reading about Othlinden's Fantastic Adventure!!

My Recent Posts · (03/19/09

Hey Othlinden/Eric:

In his description of the Cup, Rob mentions how your drinking from it led to a radical departure from your planned path for the character. Do you care to comment on what happened, how the path changed or what the eventual outcome was?

My Recent Posts · (03/20/09

I had little idea what was in the cup's nature. I had just depleted my treasury, finally repelling the Church of Nusasa's army from my domain, including an angel hovering on high above it, which left this cup's presence among my remaining things more obvious. In a nutshell, the item was intensely magical and I was desperate and feeling low. So why not? What else did I have to lose? I was immune to poisons, so what could a sip hurt? The cup represented a possibility. It might infuse me with some grandiose magic, whose use I could employ to crush the skull of that disgustingly arrogant paladin, who had once been my hench, and who might be caught asleep, encamped among his retreating troops...

I drank long from the cup, as if it were an ewer, and gradually my heart iced over with a different resolve. Thus, the scales of my misfortune were tipped.

To provide more details would steal the magic from the story Robert is writing for a formal release.

And as I've always noted, Endymion, put something in front of a player-PC and they will eventually "touch it."

I am proud that Eric showed restraint with this retelling and thus wise reckoning, as the story will be in LoTGD, for sure.

I am also considering a solo adventure or something akin to it wherein players play not only Othlinden as then besieged (and he was), but his followers,
against the paladin/angel/goody forces besieging him. I will add that Eric did "win" the confrontation as then put forth, but to this day rues several choices
made in the matter of concluding it.

Thank you both for responding, but curse you both for being so close-mouthed!

My Recent Posts · (03/23/09

I think that's the most unlikely event I've ever encountered: someone cursing me for being close-mouthed. Rob, are you reading this??

There's my mouth gaping smile, to be sure. I feel as if Johnny Hart just illustrated me!
