Tenngaru's northern half is littered with old roads, paths and forest trails. Most of them are only suitable for a horse, but that still leaves several that would accommodate a convoy of carriages. Of all the routes you could have taken, all the outposts you could have stopped at, the Ascetic knew exactly the right place to lay his traps.

The question, then, is how?

True enough, he could have used sorcery – spying on the Emperor's movements from afar, or even predicting them before the carriages ever started to roll. If that's true, then the game was rigged from the start – there was nothing any of you could have done. If not, though...

As the first blocky shapes of the Dragon's Head approach, you consider your options. Ra sent troops ahead to secure the outpost, troops who are now ash on the wind. It's possible that those troop movements tipped the Ascetic off, and the rest was simply a matter of a lucky guess. Or, you consider, there's the other option – the simple, but ever-present threat of treachery. One of those soldiers, or some other mongrel bastard, talked. Someone sold you out, for whatever meagre reward the Ascetic had to offer.

Relief is bright on the faces of the other soldiers as you arrive at the Dragon's Head, but you don't share their pleasure. Every man who crosses your path, you scrutinise carefully, searching them for any sign of treachery. Even the Emperor, helping a pale and demure Miura down from her carriage, is not above suspicion. He looks like quite the hero, struggling on despite the adversity thrown in his path.

“You've got a dark look in that eye of yours,” Ra murmurs to you, approaching from behind, “Something isn't quite right here, isn't that right?”

You glance around at that, looking into Ra's grim face.

“So,” he adds, “What do you think?”

When I'm a player I never do, just not my thing. As a GM though it's really out of necessity. It'd be pretty stupid if literally everyone in my setting was a dude.

Would you play with unhinged cards with your friends?

>>47574869
Sure, we've done it before. I really wish I could have done some Unhinged drafts when it was new.

How do timestamps, or whatever it's called in the rules, work. For example, I play a card that says all lands are swamps and then another player plays a card that says all lands are forests, which card wins?

Air potion of magical speed fortification;
Bronze orb of gnomish undeath.

metal flute of all-powerful liches;
sapphire guitar of invicible destiny change.

I won the game.

Ghost sapphire wand of dwarven giants enhancement;

berserker bone dice of dark hexes.

"Dwarven Giants"...so...humans? anyway it sounds like it gives you giants strength or some shit.

And dark hexes sound good. I think i'll survive a round.

no games

I like playing games in person. I moved back home, now I have no group. Help me.

Yes.

There's a special elf good-guy lich that's good aligned. They still know it's a bad idea, but sometimes they need to do it for reasons.

The specifics of the sacrifice are left up to the DM, but to quote the d20 SRD (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/lich.htm)
"The process of becoming a lich is unspeakably evil and can be undertaken only by a willing character."

According to that source, it's some bad juju. The process itself requires evil, and because D&D morality works by actions, not intention, there does not appear to be a RAW way to get around it being evil.

That's an interesting bit of fluff, I hadn't seen that.

Wouldn't worry too much about getting around detection really, this is more for curiosity/world building than anything.

How about this: They don't look like anything. They are eldritch aberrations summoned by a mad wizard to the material plane. Their true form is to horrible for the mortal mind to comprehend so they appear as something harmless like a chest or barrel we saw in the past.

Or maybe its like some sort of glamour like fey have.

Wouldn't be a bad one.

>and sometimes train them

Instead you should maybe go for something like a spirit quest. Every single animal type has a king/god and the halflings are human-like versions of the animal. Like every species is a different version of the same creature and halflings are variations too. Their heavens are the same ones members of their species go to. So here you could have the halflings pray to the god on a specific day, each year, which brings them closer to the god. Or you could just have them spirit bond to the animal that they find a la Robin Hobb's books. Or you could have them be like Skyrim's dragon-born. Human-like creatures with animal souls.

I've always liked Lagombi's armor, I just wish it wasn't useless for the most part.

Han Kalkor Draigo finally stopped using swords?

Closest I've done is using a half-succubus as a cambion, not the monster manual cambion but a poorly houseruled sorcerous origin. Used by a not-Merlin character in a not-Arthurian setting (a lot of original myths have Merlin as a cambion)

I'm in a post-apocalyptic fantasy game where we've acquired a pair of Succubi for our settlement.

As part of the apocalyptic events, Heaven and Hell seem to be just gone, so divine and infernal creatures suffered a serious power loss, as well as a lack of direction or central command. They're still dangerous, but they're predictable in their selfishness, so we've been making use of them as an asset.

What kind of asset? How do you make sure they cooperate?
