Re: OOC #2
I have a map from about 84 that is atleast 6 graph papers in size. old, useful, and all incorporated many games into it. from Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms to I.C.E. and Arduin systems. One of my oldest charries is now 'empress' of one of the city-states there. Not bad for a half-sea elven mage/cleric of Poseidon (she married a half sea elven/dolphime ranger/cleric of Poseidon <don't ask it was something an old GM hit me with in revenge since I stole the doors to one of his dungeons*>)
* old dwarven mine had double doors 30 ft high, 10 ft wide each and 5 ft thick each of solid dark mithril. I shrank and took both doors. inside we also found a hallway with a trap of 39 hiltless blades. I took 6 after the ninja in our party triggered the trap on purpose and dodged every damn blade. He took one, and a few others in the party took one (including a human barbarian I was also running. My mage took six and I carefully wrapped them so as not to cut anything since we had no sheathes for them (yet). Found out later they were (and I shit you not) +6 to hit/+6 to damage vorpal swords. We go further in. find 1000 flying fly dragons of chromatic, metallic, and jewel origins. they blow on us. everyone got hit by dragons breath from 1-20 dragons. we had to make saves or take 1 pt each from each breath. what he was trying to do was if we failed the we had to save for our equipment. fail or not it was 1 pt minimum per dragon, so if attacked by 10 dragons you would take 10 pts even if it was half damage because minimum was 1 pt. (sneaky S.O.B.). all but 2-3 of us moved forward after we scared them off finally. I realized there were nests (since I asked) and found dragon eggs. I took 56 of them. lol yes she turned into Daenarys but with fly dragons. finally found what we were looking for (a lich and his dwarven army minions who used to own the mine) walked out I had another dwarven clam make a few items for me including some super super rare underdark black metals (an arduin thing), including hilts for the 6 swords. I hatched and bonded and raised the fly dragons and one (a Sapphire female) who we mated with a large ancient red male dragon (shrink spells and enlarge spells were used to correct sizings. they had a clutch of 12 eggs. I traded most of the door metal for this. in a previous adventure the gm screwed up and I took advantage of it (who wouldn't) and got a mystic stone that would produce a copy of any gem next to it (not magic properties though ) and I had these moon shaped cresent diamonds from 10 gp value to 1,000,000gp value. so she had money up the wazoo. so her city state is wealthy, healthy, stable, and sound. only very lightly taxed. Also she did not 'flood the market' with the gems. know that destabilizes things.
