Twenty Sided

Session 11, Part 1

By Shamus Posted Thursday Dec 14, 2006

This is done all from memory and a few brief notes. Much detail has been lost. Entire conversations are missing.

Eomer the Rogue, Thordek the Fighter, Enoch the Cleric, Thu’fir the Blade Lord, Endo the Monk(an NPC), and Garret Lorman (another NPC) are all in the small farming and fishing village of Washport.

Beck the (former) first mate of Ocean’s Majesty (and also an NPC) has been left behind in the town of Telwin Port to the west, where he plans to help in the ship construction currently underway.

The party loads up on supplies and then heads east from the town of Washport. The terrain ahead looks uneven and rocky, so they head out on foot, leaving their horses behind.

Dang kids.

I didn’t see Optimus Rhyme in there, which would have been nice.

I’m seeing a lot of the same questions in the comments of DM of the Rings. Rather than answering the same question in the comments of a dozen threads, I’m going to gather it all up here and deal with it in one post so that I can link back to it as the need arises.

Dave as Frodo wants to play Star Wars D&D. Gimli used to play a force adept princess.

It would have been pleasing if this extra-large (double, actually) comic had ended up being number “XL”. Missed it by one. (What kind of a dork obsesses over details like that? Sheesh.)

I’m sure this is an unexpected turn of events. Don’t worry, I know where this is going. You don’t. Ha ha.

Steven has a post up on the whole deal with Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky, who has filed suit to be permitted to put up a menorah next to a Christmas display, and…

Oh what’s the use? It’s like part of the holiday now. Every year we turn on the TV and it’s either playing It’s a Wonderful Life or a story about another Christmas-tree lawsuit. The whole thing is so cliché that even the jokes about how cliché it is have themselves become cliché.

But Steven suggests:

If Ron Karenga can do it, so can I. The newly-formed Otaku religion celebrates Anime Day on December 25. It’s a jenn-you-wine traditional Japanese holiday (that I just made up) which otaku celebrate by putting up life-sized cardboard cutouts of Sailor Moon. We demand that Usagi be placed next to Rabbi Bogomilsky’s menorah, and if they won’t do that then we’ll sue.

That is something with which I am down. Er. Anime Day. Not the lawsuit.

You know what I mean.

From here on, the campaign is going to be very, very sketchy. The audio recordings are lost, so all I have to go on are the notes my wife took and my own fading memory. All I can do now is try to sum up and bring some closure to this story, which I’ve left hanging for far too long.
