Give me the Bad Touch....

Oh why hi there...didn't see you come by.  Yes yes do come in, have a seat, relax, and I'll get the tea started.  In the meantime I am sure you came to chat about the games I have had recently, so let's discuss these games I have had the past week.

Sunday game (i.e. Eberron DnD with my fantastic lich alchemist) was great this week.  Well great in that last time we leveled I was able to take Improved Paralysis, so now the DC for my "bad touch" (paralysis) is a rocking 29...oh yeah this is at level 8 also, so suck it BBEGs.  It really came in handy this past game and was super effective against the frost giants and blue dragons that we fought.  Oh yeah guys I forgot to also mention, since my character is from Karrnath and LOVES the undead, I am starting to form my own undead army.  I have made one Karrnath Deathless Zombie so far, which I love, he is sassy and fantastic and will make a great cohort once I can up his stats.  After this last battle though, I might be a little more excited because I will not only be controlling just a "normal" zombie, but also have TWO adult blue dragons under my control.  Guys, it was a good day for zombie making.  So those were the highlights of the game for my character on the positive side.  So since I am a lich and don't sleep, I do spend about 8 hours scheming, which really is only the responsible thing when you have so much free time.  So my scheme recently has been getting back to Karrnath, killing the king, and then taking over the country with my own undead army and having vast lands and spaces to let them all roam and do my bidding.  Pretty much I am a power hungry lich who wants to be a bad ass...and I don't really think anyone can fault me.  I mean I would be a bomb ass ruler-I never die, if I do, I just come back in d10 days....I would also be fantastic because she's hot guys-I mean like a 30 CHA hot, so yeah who doesn't want a hot ruler.  Now I know you might be thinking "well what do you stand for? What are your core ruling values?  Will you be fair, magnanimous?" well all those things will get figured out eventually, trivial matters really.  The whole point of this rambling was that, those were my schemes, and now another PC is encroaching on them!!  Which really for my character isn't a big deal, it the one PC that she has a romantic relationship with that is wanting to take over Karrnath, but it's still the principle of the matter!  I know I can't go CE and just use the whole party to get him to be ruler of Karrnath and then kill them all...although in my devious mind that is perfect and fantastic and I want to do that so bad, so back to the scheming board to find something else out.

Sunday game 2 (Star Wars), so this Sunday I play this game and I am torn on what to do.  Last game we sort of had a "coming to Jesus" talk about my character and her relationship with her old master, who is now an amazing Sith Lord, (I mean how can a girl resist that?!  Am I right ladies?!) and what that relationship means in terms of putting the whole of the Jedi population in danger.  To be honest, I think they were exaggerating just a bit...I mean the WHOLE Jedi population?  Probably just our group...but that does include Obi, so probably not  the best idea.  Anyway, all that will get sorted out soon enough.  SOON.  Oh yeah, I don't know if you guys caught that, but my character is pal-ing around with Obi-fucking-Kenobi, no big deal or anything.  I find myself fangirling out all the time (yes I know it is not a real game, but still I am excited about it okay?!) about the fact that on the regular we hang out with Obi.  I mean he stays on the ship with us, fights with us, enlightens us...it's really great guys. But all in all that is the highlight of the Star Wars game, I am sure though after this Sunday I will have many more fangirl moments and exciting tales to tell.

Wednesday game:  This is a new game we just started playing last night.  For this character I am using Lucan who is an 18th level Elf Ranger.  He is fantastic and based off one of my favourite podcasts (Drunks and Dragons-website here), Lucan the foul-mouthed elf.  I was thinking this would be easier to play, but am finding that I need to figure out some motivations for him-so props to Thrifty for playing him so well.  I have no doubts though that I will get him all figured out in a few games. I think that just comes with playing new characters in general, having to get your footing for their motivations and personality (see previous post for the deep shit).

Well friend, it seems the tea has finished, the crumpets are gone, and I must shoo you away for I have things to prepare, quests to adventure, and characters to level.  Till the next time you find yourself in my little nerd cave, I wish you nat 20s and may all your crits confirm!
