We sort of need you to do most of the heavy lifting, Aarnr...

Anyone else think Sir Galdean is a shapeshifted ogre magi, come to lure adventurers to their doom?  I'm calling it!

Damnit!

Time to switch to Plan 2.

Ahh, the duplicitous doppelganger, who has the real Sir Galdean locked in his own basement while he lures adventurers to their doom?  Good idea, boss!  That one's a good plan.  We'll never see it coming.

*admires*  VERY imaginative!

Actually that's even more cunning than the other 101 ways I'd figured this could go horribly wrong ...

Thought #1 - Ogre is actually a cat called Timmy<sup>1

1</sup> not to be confused with Tommy

Aarnr since you are now 'officially' owner of Bard's Gate do we get to shop there for free?

AGAIN?

Yes, after we loot the place and raze it to the ground.


Oh, it never gets old ... I expect that right at the bottom of the dungeon of Rappan Athuk the fearsome boss monster turns out to be a cat called Jimmy.  Probably a polymorphed Ancient Red Dragon, but nevertheless ...

Hmmm...  *takes notes*

I think you mean a polymorphed Decrepit Red Dragon, that has forgotten how to change back from being a cat and is on its last hit point!  I hope our DM wrote that down right.  I'm sure he did.  He's terribly clever like that.  Also handsome.

It's cute that you think we're going to survive to see the bottom of the dungeon of Rappan Athuk !  But maybe, in our own small way, we can make things really difficult for those fools brave souls who follow after us.  ;>

C'mon, I can't be the only one who's got his next character ready to go ?  H'mmm ... Red Dragon ... maybe I'd better work up a few more of 'em.  Dragons are notoriously hungry.  And grumpy.

Quick question to DM: We cannot take any standard/move actions in this round correct, only roll for initiative (and any free action skills like spot/listen)?

That would be correct, yes.  Galdean specifically asked that nobody interfere with the combat until he was splattered all over the field of battle had achieved his glorious objective.

And the proud new owner of Bard's Gate and a very big sword is watching like a ... well, I'm sure some of the denizens of the lower planes would envy the twisted visage and homicidal scowl that's Aarnr's good side ... to be sure that nobody interferes with Sir Galdean's most brave and reasonable request.

Thanks for the confirmation DM :)

And Sir Galdean's choice of meeting his end is indeed grand. But too timid for someone like Baron Aarnr, lord of Bard's Gate. Only an ancient dragon would be a worthy foe for our mighty warrior!

Best faced by himself of course, the better to get all the glory.

So...enough of that garbage.   -_-

I'm utterly astonished you let him get away with it ! <grrrins>

Barring bashing him over the head, I couldn't think of a (good) way to prevent him.  :(

Don't worry - I'm confident that Ozzie will tidy it up in the Ballad of Sir Galdean and make everyone look good.  :>

And we're very lucky that it's a Giant we're facing - not a lot rhymes with Ogre.  Hard to work in toga or yoga meaningfully in the context of getting our bones ground to paste ...

*tsk* Think of all this as a test from Eileen's deity, checking in to see if Eileen has been putting points in the 'heal' skill and memorizing her daily dose of cure light wounds.

Yoga...something Eilieen needs to take up.  Wait.  How does yoga and toga rhyme with Ogre?

Where are you from, Aarnr?  :D

As for the heal skill, I darned well put a FEAT into it, Zadastha is most pleased!  +12 at level 3, hah!

That is impressive indeed, we will all be needing it :D (those that aren't smears on the ground anyway)

There was a young maid in a toga
Twas assailed by a mighty big Ogre
Said the priestess of Zadastha
"Tis a froggin' disaster !
I'm plannin' on takin' up yoga !"

*applauds*

Erista, Bilfro, thank ye both ... thy posts made me laugh out loud ! :>
